CH.6 Escape and be rescued
Fengdu Mountain.
Nigang Village.
The thieves celebrated in the courtyard, greedily vying for the loot.
"Big boss, what about the three women in the firewood room?"
The big boss Zhao Tianhu sat on the recliner headed by him, enjoying the service of the beauties on the side.
"yes, especially the woman who killed our brother."
"Never let her go!"
"That's right!"
The people below shouted.
"Silence!" Wei Linhai, the second master, walked up to the big boss, "Don't move those three women first." ”
Zhao Tianhu listened attentively, and he motioned for Wei Linhai to continue.
"One of the women in it is the eldest lady of the Zhang family who is going to marry Mufeng Hall in Tusu City, we can write to her father and ask him to pay a ransom to ransom her daughter."
The little minion on the side shouted: "Why don't you write directly to the hall master of Mufeng Hall?" ”
"You're so daring! Who is the master of Mufeng Hall? What is Mufeng Hall? It is a branch of the Tu Su City family, and a Mufeng Hall is already difficult to deal with, not to mention the Tu Su family behind it. ”
Zhao Tianhu kicked the little minion who was talking to the side.
"His father must have agreed to our conditions in order to prevent his daughter from being tied up and to marry his daughter to Mufeng Tang smoothly."
Zhao Tianhu nodded, "What about the other two women." ”
"Both of them are just Miss Zhang's maids, the younger one was injured and couldn't escape, but the older maid was able to kill our three brothers, her background is a little suspicious, but she has fallen into our hands, isn't it up to us what to do with her?"
Suddenly, the woman snuggling on Zhao Tianhu's chest spoke, her voice delicate, "Brother Hu, people want to change a girl to serve, okay?" ”
"What's wrong? Isn't it good to be the one who serves you now? Zhao Tianhu's voice became soft.
"It's not good, it's not good at all, it's rude. Didn't you catch two maids? Give me the wounded one! The woman leaned close to Zhao Tianhu's ear and drew circles on his chest with her fingers. Her fragrance seduced him like a **, making him nod his head.
"If you like it, go for it!" Zhao Tianhu lowered his head and buried it in the woman's neck, greedily sucking her body fragrance.
Backyard.
Firewood room.
The noise outside the house woke Chu Jiu, and she opened her eyes to find herself in a dark and dirty firewood room, moving slightly, her body was in pain, "Uh-"
"You're awake." Xiao Jia on the side spoke.
"Where is this?" Chu Jiu asked.
"The lair of those thieves. They arrested all three of us. ”
Chu Jiu suddenly remembered and exclaimed, "Where's Miss?" Where is Miss? ”
Xiao Jia immediately covered her mouth, "Be quiet, I don't want people outside to know that we are awake." She let go of her hand when she saw that Chu Jiu was quiet, and then walked to the window, carefully peeking out of the crack.
There were two thieves guarding outside the door, but when they saw that Xiao Jia and Chu Jiu had not woken up, they drank wine, ate meat, and chatted unscrupulously.
"Miss was taken away alone." Xiao Jia said calmly.
Chu Jiu grabbed Xiao Jia and felt a lot of worry and panic in his heart. She worries about Miss's whereabouts, worries about her misfortunes, and worries about her and Xiao Jia's future, and she is afraid of what these bloodthirsty and sexless thieves will do with them.
I don't know if it was the negligence of the thieves, they didn't tie them up.
Xiao Jia saw the two thieves outside in the gap in the windowsill and fell dizzy, and felt that they should be easy to deal with. She pulled Chu Jiu and whispered: "We'll make some noises later, let the two people outside come in, you help me lure them in, and then I'll do it, you know?" ”
Chu Jiu bit his lip in response to Xiao Jia's words.
Xiao Jia picked up the hemp rope he had searched from the firewood room, spared it a few times in his hand, straightened the rope, and then hid behind the door and was ready to go.
Chu Jiu swallowed his saliva, plucked up his courage under Xiao Jia's encouraging eyes, and shouted, "Let me out!" Where is this? Let me out! ”
The man outside the door instantly sobered up a little when he heard the screams of the woman in the house, "I'll go in and have a look!" A man reluctantly put down the bowl in his hand and staggered to the ground. He pushed open the door, only to see Chu Jiu standing there shouting helplessly, laughing proudly, "Little lady screams, even if you cut your throat, no one will come to save you." ”
Chu Jiu looked at Sister Xiao Jia behind him, and Xiao Jia shook her head at him and approached the thief step by step.
The man's alcohol came up, and he saw that a girl like Chu Jiu had evil thoughts in his heart. The brothers in the front yard are spending all day drinking, and there are women by their side, and they are going to guard these two stinky women here. The man thought to himself, so he began to untie his belt, and smiled obscenely on his face, "Little lady, come and serve your uncle and me!" ”
Chu Jiu only felt extremely disgusted when she saw his face, she stepped back step by step, but suddenly fell.
"Haha, the little lady is too anxious, she is lying down and waiting for me." The man bent down and took off his pants, which directly frightened Chu Jiu and closed his eyes.
said that it was too late, Xiao Jia took advantage of the man's bending down and bowing his head, quickly strangled the man's neck with a rope, and kicked the man down.
Chu Jiu heard a plopping sound, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Sister Xiaojia was strangling the man with all her might, and the man was constantly struggling, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the man's upper body. It didn't take long for the man below him to fall silent. Chu Jiu tilted his head to look at the man, only to see that the man's eyes were staring at her fiercely, motionless. She fell to the ground in fright, and kept crawling backwards.
Xiao Jia let go of the rope, got up to help Chu Jiu, and comforted her: "If he doesn't die, you will die, you should cheer up quickly, we still have to go ***." ”
Chu Jiu nodded and followed behind Sister Xiao Jia.
Xiao Jia went out, and a man was lying on the ground holding a wine jug.
She pulled out a large knife they had placed on the ground, sat on the man, put the big knife against the man's neck with her right hand, and slapped the man hard with her left hand.
This slap directly woke the man up, and he finally realized the big knife against his neck when he woke up.
"Where did you arrest our eldest lady?"
The man trembled, "The three of us have taken your young lady to his yard." ”
"Get up, and you take us there. Hurry up. Xiao Jia grabbed the man's shirt, and the big knife did not forget to resist him.
In the evening, everyone crowded into the front yard to celebrate the money they had received today, so the backyard was extremely quiet, and there was no one along the way.
Finally, the man led them to the courtyard of the three masters, and he pointed to one of the rooms, "Your young lady is there." ”
Chu Jiu ran to the house in small steps, she poked a small hole in the window, and then looked inside. Sure enough, the young lady was inside. She saw the young lady tied to the bed. She looked at Sister Xiaojia, nodded, and motioned for Miss to be inside.
The man saw that Xiao Jia's hand holding the knife was slightly loose, "Come-" Before he finished speaking, he was wiped by Xiao Jia's neck.
Chu Jiu covered his mouth, and his eyes were round. After today's experience, she has become more and more calm.
They pushed open the door and saw that the young lady's hands were tied with ropes.
"Miss, it's okay, I'll untie you."
Chu Jiu immediately untied the rope, and Xiao Jia vigilantly guarded the door with a knife and looked around.
Zhang Xiyu's clothes were messy and his expression was pale.
Chu Jiu didn't ask too much, so he picked her up and Xiao Jia and left.
"Now how are we going to get out?"
As the group struggled to figure out how to find their way, a young woman shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
Xiao Jia immediately ran to restrain the woman.
"You slut, what do you have in mind?" The woman broke open and scolded Zhang Xiyu. She is the wife of the three masters, and she is the sister of the big boss. Today, when I heard the people around me say that my father-in-law took a woman back to the yard, I was dissatisfied. When Xianggong was there, she couldn't break in and get mad, so she had to wait for him to go to the front hall tonight before she dared to come over to see what kind of woman it was.
"The third master, Wei Linhai, is my father-in-law, don't think about a little bit of grace and want to seduce him!"
Zhang Xiyu's heart was slightly shocked after hearing this, in fact, she had heard that he had already married today. She was captured in this room, and when she woke up, she saw the man with whom he had sworn an alliance. It turned out that he had already changed his name to Wei Linhai and became a thief.
Wei Linhai, formerly known as Wei Lin, is the son of the previous county warden of Fengdu County, they met five years ago and made a private agreement for life, but the good times did not last long, the county guard was exposed to taking bribes, so that the Wuding Bridge built in the county collapsed, killing and injuring nearly ten people. The imperial court directly copied the whole family of the county guard because of this matter, and the male was sent to the frontier to do hard labor. In order to comfort Zhang Xiyu when Wei Lin left, he actually said that she should wait, and he would come back soon. However, Zhang Xiyu waited for five years.
And Wei Lin's side, on the way he was preparing to be sent to the frontier, because he was unwilling to do hard labor, because he knew that it would be impossible for him to survive if he went, let alone come back. So, while the escorted soldiers were resting, he pretended to pee, and he strangled the soldiers who watched him with the chains that bound his hands, which was the first time he killed someone, and he fled in fear until he was exhausted and was rescued by Zhao Sanniang, the sister of the big boss of Nigangzhai, who is now the lady, and took him to Nigangzhai.
Zhang Xiyu was actually a little surprised when she saw Wei Lin today, she thought that he had heard the news of her marriage and came to pick her up. Although he is a little stranger, he is still him, she enjoys his long-lost kiss, and he also promises that he will find a way not to let the people in the village touch her in the slightest. But this dream was shattered, and she learned from the man who delivered the meal that he had married the sister of the big man in the village, and he was also going to tie himself up and ask his father for ransom.
"When you get the ransom, you young lady will serve us well!" Before leaving, he didn't forget to scare her.
She hated, hated this man's rhetoric, hated this man's false and ruthless promises, and made her wait for him for five years.
"Madame, you have misunderstood, your husband has bound me to take a ransom from my father, and then give me to his men." Zhang Xiyu held back tears, "I beg you, you can let us go!" ”
The woman did not believe her nonsense at all, for her husband had been in her room all afternoon after he had brought her back today.
Chu Jiu suddenly knelt down, burst into tears, and pulled the corner of his wife's skirt, "This lady, you are doing well, you don't want to see my young lady, you just let us go, even if we are caught, we will not be involved in you."
The woman impatiently pulled back her dress, "Follow me!" She led them around the unattended gap to the entrance to the woods. She pointed to the woods, "This is the way down the mountain, but there are a lot of wild beasts on the road, don't blame me for not helping you, remember that you can't blame me for being caught!" ”
"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you ma'am! "Chu Jiu is grateful.
The woman ignored her thanks and went back the way she came, eventually disappearing into the night.
Zhang Xiyu and his party went deep into the woods, forced to hurry down the mountain, but they had gradually felt as if they had entered a place infested by wild beasts, surrounded by the cries of wild beasts, fierce and terrifying. So they didn't dare to go any further, they nestled under a big tree and looked around vigilantly.
The sky was getting brighter, and they began to move forward boldly.
After a while, the gongs and drums on the mountain sounded.
The woman who helped them was not so kind, she knew that the women who ran away and were captured never ended well, and the women who ran away in the past would only anger the men in the village, and finally became the playthings of the men and were trampled on. She was not in a hurry, because she knew that in such a dark night, three women would not dare to walk so fast. So she went back to take a nap and walked leisurely to the front yard, pretending to be surprised to report that they had escaped.
Hearing the noise on the mountain, the thieves knew that they had escaped and began to hunt them down.
"Let's go! There's a chance they'll catch up! ”
The three of them were so embarrassed that they couldn't care so much about escaping.
Chu Jiu's face was scratched by the branches and leaves, but she was no longer conscious. She wanted to live.
After a long time, Chu Jiu vaguely saw the dirt road under the mountain, and she was overjoyed, "It's almost down the mountain!" ”
Xiao Jia led Zhang Xiyu, who was physically exhausted, "Miss, we can see the mountain down!" ”
Zhang Xiyu's legs and feet were sore, and at this time, the calf of her left foot was cramping unexpectedly, "Ahh
"They're there, I see them!" The thieves not far from the mountain found them on the ninth day.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The sparse rain of arrows behind them shot towards them, but unfortunately the range was too far to touch them, but this also frightened Chu Jiusan to speed up his pace.
The thieves were getting closer and closer, and they were filled with despair.
"Ahh
Just as Chu Jiu was about to roll onto a boulder, a long red whip fell from the sky and wrapped around her waist, throwing her to a safe place.
Not far away, the horses were galloping, and the people on the horses were dressed in blue, and they were from Tusu City!
Chu Jiu stood up, and when he saw that the blue-clothed people had arrived, they all dismounted, some of them surrounded Miss Zhang and Xiao Jia to protect them, and some of them ran up the mountain to chase the thieves.
"Girl, are you alright? We're from Sioux City, and we're sorry to frighten you! ”
The man in the indigo coat spoke softly, and he stretched out his right hand, trying to pick up Chu Jiu, who had fallen to the ground.
Chu Jiu looked at the man's handsome face in a daze, then touched his gentle big hand and stood up with his strength, "Thank you, Engong!" ”
The man smiled and shook his head, "You don't need to call Engong so serious, the second son of Tu Su City, Tu Su has no tears." ”
