Chapter 139: Qingge Qiaoxiao (9)
It seemed to reach a mountain pass, and the carriage shook violently a few times before finally stopping.
Qiu Wen heard the tooth woman say to her brothers that she was also hungry, and it seemed that she would have to sleep here at night, and it was better to have a shopkeeper, and she should spend the night to get some food and drink, and then go on the road tomorrow morning.
Qiu Wen heard one of her brothers say: "Sister, why don't we just guard here, there are always mountain people coming out of the mountains, passing through here, I think this is a way to go." Let's tie this woman up. Wouldn't it be easy to tie it to a tree and label it as a sale, just like selling pork? ”
Autumn Wen listened to it, but her heart was happy.
That's a good thing for her. How would it be good? But whenever there is someone, she will think of a plan and will never sit still. As long as she can get out of this pocket, there will always be a chance to escape.
I only heard the tooth woman say, "Let's just wait here for the rabbit on the stump?" ”
"Why not? In the end, when you enter the mountain, the road will be even more difficult to walk, and you will also suffer in this way. ”
Several other men agreed with this man. Ya Po didn't pay attention: "It's okay, I'm hungry after a long walk, and I will let this woman out of my pocket and eat and drink with her." You don't have to say we're abusing people. ”
A sneer broke out in Qiu Wen's heart. She suddenly became puzzled: this tooth woman is doing this business, she is familiar with the road, and it seems that she has been buying and selling for many years. So, have there been any deaths over the years? In the end, every business can't go well. What if she meets a girl who is stronger than her, and she refuses to obey and simply crashes to death? Is there anyone who has been abused to death by this tooth woman? Maybe there is another way to die?
Qiu Wen felt: These people must have human lives on their hands, and they were full of blood.
A man stepped forward and opened his pocket. Qiu Wen immediately pretended to be dying, closed his eyes weakly, and remained motionless.
Ya Po came over and kicked Qiu Wen, Qiu Wen endured the pain, but still did not move.
The man shouted, "Probably suffocated? ”
The tooth woman said, "Where did she die?" The dead man's face is sallow and white, and if you look at her face, it is still red, but she is faint from fright, or she is just sick and can't die. You'd better hurry up and find a place to stay, I'm thirsty in the end. ”
Although these men are tall and big, they are a little afraid of this tooth woman between their words.
"I'll go, I'll go." The man really strode away to search.
Ya Po pinched Qiu Wen's face, Qiu Wen thought: Since she saw through it and blindly pretended to be dead, she might make this vicious mother-in-law unhappy, so she should open her eyes. As soon as Qiu Wen opened her eyes, this woman really scolded: "Okay, why are you pretending to be dead?" After all, I bought it with money, and you are going to die, and I ask who wants these fifty taels of silver? ”
Autumn Moon lowered her head, she knew that it was useless to cry and beseech.
"I want to be relieved."
The mother-in-law was stunned: "Do you want a little relief?" She didn't expect that as soon as the girl spoke, she would say this.
"yes, it's been a long time, and the pig has to hold its pee."
The woman was even more stunned, but she didn't expect this girl to be not afraid at all, and her words were a little witty. The mother-in-law was not calm anymore, and reminded her: "You have been kidnapped by us, can you not hate it in your heart?" ”
Qiu Wen still lowered his head: "I don't hate." ”
"Why? This is not us, you are still in that monastery, chanting and worshipping Buddha with those nuns! ”
Autumn Moon said, "I hate it. ”
"What?"
"I said I hate it, I can't eat meat, I can't do this and that, I'm so aggrieved."
The mother-in-law was even more shocked, and asked tentatively: "Then why did you go there?" ”
Qiu Wen was even more aggrieved: "Forced." I used to be a maid in a big family, but I was kicked out because I offended the housewife. Forced me to go to that temple to grow my hair and practice. ”
This mother-in-law will be suspicious, and Aunt Xue's girl Cui'er hurriedly called her like this, but she didn't explain the identity of this woman thoroughly. That Cui'er girl, after finishing speaking, left, her expression was not very good, and she looked very low and weird. It seems that she is reluctant to say this to herself. In the end, Cui'er couldn't go, it was a deal, and it had to be implemented, Xu Yapo asked Cui'er to get into the carriage with her, and Cui'er covered her face and cried lowly.
"I was forced. Instead of working hard in the temple, it is better to come out and fight for another world. ”
The woman listened to her words. Unexpectedly, this woman's thoughts are different from others, so strange. She didn't resist at all, her attitude was so calm.
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes. My parents are gone, and there is no one in the family. What about being sold into the mountains? is also the same openly, being a daughter-in-law and giving birth to a baby. The prime ministers and officials of the Li Dynasty in the past dynasties were also born in the mountains. I don't dislike it at all, because I'm also a hard-working person. ”
Xu Yapo really listened. She thought about it, then carefully fetched a jug for Qiu Wen and handed it to her, "You drink saliva." I didn't expect you to be such a girl. If every woman were like you, wouldn't I be much lighter in this trade? ”
Ya Po patted her thigh and decided that Qiu Wen was insightful, but she thought about it and asked tentatively: "Girl, then we are not good people, we are openly acting as Ya Po, and secretly doing the business of traders." Aren't you afraid of me like this? ”
Unexpectedly, Autumn Pattern smiled again.
"What are you laughing at?"
"What's this? As the saying goes, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, as long as you are bold, what can't you do? ”
"This ......"
"I think you're a little less daring. There are no corpses in the construction of bridges and roads. This is the way of the world, the more honest and loyal this person is, the more he is bullied. Just like me. Now that I've been bumpy with your car, and my head has bumped off, I want to drive. I just want to change the way of living, that kind of pleasure, I will live which! If you are willing to take me with you, I will also do the business of killing people and setting fires!" ”
When this woman heard this, she was very excited, and she really took Qiu Wen as a confidant.
But she was low-key and modest: "In the end, I sometimes do serious business, but it's not a murderous business!" Even if someone dies in our hands, it is because she doesn't know what to do, she has to do it, and her temperament is so stubborn, such a person, even if it is in the hands of the buyer, she will not be able to live a peaceful life. She wants to die, or throw herself into the river, or hit the wall, and she can only go with her. I'm the one who really suffers! ”
This woman was still aggrieved and hugged Qiuwen.
Autumn Pattern's heart is even colder. Sure enough, these people have killed people. What is the difference between forcing people to die and killing with their own hands? It's all the same. She drank all the water and said euphemistically: "Sure enough, there is a lot of pain in doing one line." I used to be a maid, thinking that I was the lowest slave in the world, and I didn't want to have your business. ”
The woman also sat on the stone and smiled: "Yes, girl, you are really a person who understands. You don't have to follow us, in the end, it's not easy. It's better to quickly find a man in the mountains and live a safe life. ”
Ladies and gentlemen, listening to the words of this tooth woman, it seems that the men in the nearby mountains are all very wealthy and have a lot of silver in their hands? It's a shame that she spent fifty taels to buy autumn patterns, which has to be sold to people in the mountains, and it has to be doubled. Can an ordinary mountain man have a ready-made one hundred and two hundred taels of silver?
Don't say it, there really is.
This woman has been doing this conscientious business for many years, and she has long been familiar with the distances in Tianyun Country. Where will she go where she is poor? This place is a good mountain pass, but it is a slightly rich place in Tianyun Country. Jade is produced in the mountains. The local mountain people do nothing, the mountains are full of stones, and they can't grow any crops, they make a living from mining, and they transport the quarried stones to other places. A stone can often be gambled for hundreds of taels of silver. The mountain people are also cunning. They are very hostile to strangers because they are afraid that outsiders will infiltrate and participate in mining, which will destroy their livelihoods. When they see a trader, they tend to look aside and ignore what they ask. Only some people who do small business, and there are people like Xu Yapo, who sell people, are still popular.
The mother-in-law's brothers went to find a place to stay, and when they came back, they all shook their heads, saying that they couldn't find it.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the woman decided to rest in the carriage all night.
Qiu Wen went to Xiao Jie, and this woman followed behind. Akimone knew that he couldn't escape, so he secretly checked the terrain. Seemingly, there is no good road here. However, there was a small river not far away, and she heard the sound of rushing water, and there was a small boat on the bank. If you can get on the boat, call for help from the fisherman, and the boat will go down the river, you will be able to leave here. It's just that none of these people are vegetarians. How can I get rid of it?
It's better to fill your stomach and rest first.
The river is also some distance from here, and it takes strength to trot all the way there.
The men lit a fire next to the wagon.
They brought dry food, Qiu Wen took a look, some steamed buns. Head, some naan, some beef. Ya Po came over to bake steamed buns, Qiu Wen carefully observed on the side, she found that this Ya Po couldn't cook, and the baked steamed buns were all browned, and those men said that they were unpalatable.
Autumn Moon volunteered to come over: "I'll cook with you." ”
"You know how to cook?"
These men looked up and down at Qiuwen, and when they saw that under the firelight, Qiuwen's appearance was really beautiful, and they couldn't help but be tempted, lost their steamed buns, and wanted to come over and do good things with Qiuwen.
Qiu Wen is afraid, this is what she is most afraid of, her chastity is not guaranteed, and she is lost in the hands of these savage thieves. This reminded her of Wang Hao. It is said that in a peaceful and prosperous world, the house is not closed at night, and there are no robbers in the house. It seems that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the security of Tianyun Kingdom was much worse.
Qiu Wen stepped back step by step, and these men stepped forward step by step, with hideous eyes in their eyes.
Xu Yapo came over and shouted to them, "No." ”
"Why not? Eldest sister, haven't you ever been kind to them before? ”
Xu Yapo said seriously: "They are them, and this girl is this girl." I fell in love with her, and you endure it, and when you have the money, do you go to the city to find any woman? ”
Xu Yapo had a lot of strength and pushed away these men with one hand. Akimo's heart calmed down a little. She remembered the hairpin on her head and couldn't delay it any longer. Opportunities come up on their own. There is no chance to create it yourself.
She stabilized her mind and told Xu Yapo: "I can cook." I work in the kitchen of a large family, and I can cook any dish and all kinds of snacks. It's too monotonous for you to eat like this, and it's not tasty. Wait a minute, see how I cook. ”
