Chapter 10: Forced Marriage

Sighing, Gu Baoying took out an old bag from her body and put the broken jade inside.

This bag was given to her by the original owner's father, and there was a broken red jade in it, which was also given to her by her father.

After putting away the bag, Gu Baoying got up, touched the back basket of herbs and wild vegetables scattered on the side, looked around, and found that she seemed to be in a cave.

She looked up at the pitch black overhead, knowing she couldn't get out of it.

However, there was a cave under the trap, which surprised her.

There is air currents floating around, and this cave should not be sealed, maybe you can go all the way along this road to the exit outside.

Xu and Gu Xian couldn't wait for her to go back at home, they must be in a hurry, she had to hurry back.

Gu Baoying ate some wild vegetables, rested for a while, and set off.

By this time, it was already dark.

In the courtyard of the Jiang family's old house in Qinghe Village, Xu and Aunt Liu stood at the door, and at the slightest disturbance, she would ask anxiously: "Is Baoying back?" ”

"No, no, it's the wind blowing the courtyard door." Aunt Liu glanced at it and sighed in disappointment.

"No, Bao Ying has never come back so late, something must have happened to her! I've got to go find her! Xu Shi said, feeling with both hands and wanting to leave, but before she could take two steps, she tripped over something, and her body fell forward and wanted to fall!

"Be careful!" Aunt Liu hurriedly helped her, "It's inconvenient for you to walk, so I'll go out and have a look!" ”

"Mother! I went to ask Wang Zai, and he said that Sister Baoying came back early! At this time, Xiaohu came back from outside the door panting, and told Gu Baoying and Gu Xinru that they had met earlier and went to the Forbidden Forest, but then Gu Baoying came back by herself.

"Baoying ......" Xu Shi was anxious when he heard this, holding his head and fainting again, after being helped by Aunt Liu to stand still, he was going out again, "I'll ask Xinru that child, what's going on?" Forbidden Forest? How would you go there? Did Bao Ying go into the woods? ”

"I'll ask! I'll ask! Aunt Liu hurriedly grabbed her, "Xiaohu, you are here watching your Aunt Xu!" ”

She comforted the Xu family, and after speaking, she walked towards the Yang family's courtyard.

However, after going, Gu Xinru insisted that Gu Baoying had come back a long time ago.

There was no way, Aunt Liu had no choice but to leave the compound and run to Lizheng's house.

"Smack"!

Li Zhengjiang Zhen slapped Jiang Chao in the face!

"Idiot! Gu Xinru said that if you want to lead Baoying to the Forbidden Forest, you will lead her over? She said Bao Ying is gone, you believe it? What is your brain for? Don't you even know if you're being used?! ”

"Me!" Jiang Chao's cheeks were visibly swollen, he regretted it in his heart, and wanted to justify, but he didn't dare to open his mouth with a pair of sharp eyes at the second master.

Jiang Zhen glanced at him disappointed and annoyed, and then turned his gaze to the anxious Aunt Liu: "Don't worry, I'll take someone to find Baoying now!" You go back to accompany Xu first, and let her not worry. ”

"Okay." Aunt Liu was anxious, and she had no choice but to respond.

However, Jiang Zhen took a few hunters from the village up the mountain, not to mention Gu Baoying's people, and even her body was not found!

They went to the trap first.

The branches inside were crushed, apparently someone had fallen into them, and someone had re-layered them with leaf branches.

However, only a string of beaded flowers on Gu Baoying's head was left in the trap, and there was no trace of her at all, could it be that she was eaten by a nearby beast?

Li Zhengjiang Zhen looked at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest, frowned, and finally said: "It's too late today, tomorrow, let's enter the Forbidden Forest together and look for it again!" I really can't find it, so I can only forget it! ”

"Okay." A few of the hunters didn't want to take any chances, and besides, it was just a stranger who died, and they had little to do with them, so they all scattered and went home.

As soon as the news came back, Xu clutched the beaded flowers in both hands, crying almost out of breath.

Gu Xian was struck by lightning, and after crying in despair, he was so angry that he didn't care about his legs, and he had to crawl to the Yang family's courtyard to find Gu Xinru to ask for his life!

Gu Xinru hid in the house and didn't dare to see anyone, so she only insisted that Gu Baoying had already left the forest, and this matter had nothing to do with her!

The Gu family was devastated.

The next day, Jiang Zhen took the hunters into the Forbidden Forest, and they checked several markers set up near the entrance of the Forbidden Forest to make sure that there were no traces of outsiders entering here, because once there were people, the markers would definitely be destroyed.

After searching in the forest for a long time, Jiang Zhen sank and took people back to the village.

He led Jiang Chao, brought two bags of grain, and went to Gu's house to apologize: "This matter is Jiang Chao's kid who hurt Baoying, I won't let him shirk his responsibility, this bit of food, as well as these two taels of silver, you take it, no matter what happens at home in the future, as long as you say it, I will definitely let Jiang Chao help!" ”

"Aunt Xu, I'm sorry! This time I did it wrong! If there is anything, you just call me! Jiang Chao's red eyes also followed.

"I don't want silver, I don't want food, and I don't want help from others, Lizheng, I beg you, can you go and find my family Baoying again? I'll kneel and kowtow to you! Xu's tears never stopped overnight, and at this moment, the whole person was like a wandering spirit, and as he spoke, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times directly.

"I'll keep sending someone to find it."

Jiang Zhen's face was cold, but he still said, "But the possibility of her survival is very small, Xu, you still have to think about how to live in the future!" ”

How's it going?

Jiang Zhen left with Jiang Chao on the front foot, and Zhao Jiangpo also came to the door with the bride price on the back foot.

She pretended to condolence a few words, and then got to the point: "Xu, you are a blind man who has no daughter now, but you recognize a son but you are a cripple who can't take care of yourself, how are you going to live this life?" If you want me to say, you should go down to Lao Zheng Tou's marriage, these five taels of silver are just a marriage of marriage, as long as you pass the door, Lao Zheng Tou's money is yours, and you can spend it how you want! ”

Xu Shi held the beaded flower tightly in her hand, and when she heard the words, she had always been gentle, haggard and delicate, and the corners of her lips showed a trace of coldness.

"Aunt Zhao Sauce, there is no news from Bao Ying, the Xu family is feeling uncomfortable, but you are now coming to mention the marriage and let her get married, isn't it a bit ...... The timing is wrong? Aunt Liu originally wanted to say too much, but thinking of Zhao Jiangpo's status in the village, she changed her mind abruptly.

"Didn't Li Zhengdu say it, can't you find it? There are so many beasts in the mountains, not to mention the Forbidden Forest where people eat people and don't spit out bones......"

Mrs. Zhao's tone was quite cool, "Xu, even if you are sad, don't be sober-minded, what matters now is your marriage to Lao Zheng Tou!" Also, if you get married, don't worry about Gu Xian's crippled life or death! Just take care of yourself! ”
