Looking at the darkness that filled the room, she thought that there was something wrong with her eyes. After finally getting used to it, I realized that it wasn't my own eye problem. It's just that she was locked up in a dark room.

She didn't know what time it was, she didn't know how long she had been unconscious, the only thing she remembered was the strange silver mask and the cold, piercing eyes.

She is Ning Qian, the daughter of Ning Qian, the general merchant of Huizhou Salt Industry. Salt merchants have always had a close relationship with the government, and this Ning Qian is a good friend of Du Zongfu, the prefect of Huizhou. When they gave birth to their first child, they were given baby kisses. No, Ning Qian got married just after she was married.

But no one could have imagined that they would encounter thieves to rob their marriages halfway. Thinking of the words of those bandits, Ning Qian couldn't help but shrink around the corner. Looking back on the past, she was not very embarrassed, and the newlywed traveled to play Bundi, but she didn't expect to cross like this. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and I am happy. Unlike some heroines in time-traveling novels, they have to work hard to fill their stomachs.

But as a daughter, there is also the dissatisfaction of a daughter. For example, marriage, in this era of matchmaking and parents' orders, where does she have the right to speak. Although they all love her, sometimes things are far from what you want to do.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly hate the man named Du Chengyang. If it weren't for the desire to marry him, how could such a thing have happened. He must be a broom star, born to kill his wife, if God can give her another chance, she won't get married so early.

Mrs. Crush, what the bandits shouted at her. Could this be their own fate? Suddenly, a slight squeak pulled her wandering thoughts back.

His eyes were glued to the door, and his heart was beating wildly. Who could it be? Could it be the boss of those bandits? The room was empty, and she couldn't find anything to defend herself from. In desperation, she could only shrink around the corner as best she could, hoping that the people who came could not see where she was because of the darkness that filled the room.

She thought it would be safe this way, but she didn't know that women in fear usually didn't have enough brains. A ray of light was projected into the room, Ning Qian hurriedly covered her eyes, and waited until she was used to it before slowly putting down her hand.

The light came from an oil lamp, and she suddenly took a breath of cold air when she looked up at the oil lamp. It's him? It was the masked man who stunned her. The silver mask looked eerie in the light.

The masked man put the lamp on the lamp holder on the wall, dragged a stool from somewhere, and sat down at Ning Qian.

The room was silent, so quiet that you could hear the other party's breathing. Ning Qian couldn't help but hold her beating heart with her hand, and she quietly looked up at the masked man. I wondered in my heart what he was coming for.

"Hungry?" A deep male voice suddenly burst into Ning Qian's ears.

She looked up, was this him talking? But he didn't seem to want such a good talker. Would you ask yourself if you are hungry?

As she thought about it, the masked man spoke again, "Hungry or not." ”

Ning Qian nodded hurriedly, "I'm so hungry." She was telling the truth, and although she didn't know how long she had been locked up, her stomach had already started to growl. At this time, face or something is important, a fart? The most important thing is to save your life.

With a clang, the masked man pushed away his chair and stood up and walked out. The door was closed again, and he was gone? Ning Qian was surprised. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but run towards the door curiously, raised her hand and pulled it, and the door didn't move at all. I leaned my eyes against the gap and looked at it, it was blurry, and I couldn't see anything.

Frustrated, she kicked the door before running back to her corner and shrunk in, only in this place did she feel a little safe. The masked man outside the door unconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard the sound of kicking the door, and he didn't leave until there were no footsteps in the house.

By the time the door was opened again, it was almost past a stick of incense. The masked man didn't come empty-handed this time, he was carrying a food box, although he hadn't approached yet, Ning Qian had already smelled the fragrance inside. Unconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, really hungry.

Looking at her silly appearance, the masked man gently placed the food box in his hand on the ground. Lifted the lid but didn't take out the food inside.

He deliberately fanned the top of the food box with his hand, and a strong aroma wafted out. The fragrance drifted with the wind and drifted to Ning Qian's nose. Biting her lip, she pressed her stomach with her hand, her eyes staring at the food box and couldn't take her eyes off it. I'm really hungry, like I haven't eaten in a few days. What did the masked man want, brought things but didn't give them to her, did he deliberately use them to tempt her?

"Want to eat?" The masked man finally spoke.

This time, Ning Qian didn't nod in a hurry, because she was guessing the masked man's intentions. Could it be that there was some kind of medicine in that dish, although on the surface it doesn't look like the masked man is the kind of person who would use this kind of abuse. But people can't look good, this is a den of thieves, and he is also a member of the bandits, and he is in the same stream.

"What? Don't want to eat? ”

"What conditions do you have?" Ning Qian is not stupid. This guy doesn't bring the dishes out. It's clear that there is a conspiracy.

The masked man raised his eyes to look at Ning Qian for the first time, and this woman was a little interesting. I thought that she was a brainless stupid woman like her, but I didn't think that this woman was a little special.

"You're smart."

Ning Qian raised her eyebrows, "It's not that I'm smart, it's that you're too obvious." I don't like to beat around the bush, you can just say what you want, I don't want to keep guessing. ”

"You're pretty cheerful. Don't forget where you are now, and you dare to speak so loudly. You're bold. ”

Ning Qian was stunned for a moment, then she realized that what she had just said was a little too tough, the corners of her mouth pulled slightly, and she shrank into the corner again. "What do you want?" The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and she doesn't want to fall into the wolf's mouth so soon.

"It's actually very simple, every time you ask a question, as long as your answer satisfies me, I will give you something to eat."

Ning Qian was not happy when she heard it. What is this? He can only be satisfied with it, isn't this just his final say? "It's not fair."

"Fair? Do you think you're qualified to talk to me about fairness? ”

"You ······"

"How?"

Ning Qian pondered, the current situation was not good for her. The masked man was right, she was not qualified to negotiate terms with him at all, if she didn't agree to him, maybe she would really have nothing to eat, she didn't want to starve to death.

After thinking about it, she decided to compromise. A good woman doesn't suffer immediate losses, so she promises first. She wondered what the masked man wanted to know.

"I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable about current affairs. Let's start with the first question. Your name. ”

Generally speaking, the daughter's name is not easily revealed to others, but now the situation is different, and if you want to eat, you have to answer his questions. Besides, Ning Qian is not the kind of ancient person who was born and raised, and she doesn't pay much attention to these rules. "Ning Qian." She told it frankly.

"A very general name."

Ning Qian pouted, the name is just a symbol, what's the use of sounding good? But she immediately sensed that something was wrong, "You don't know my name?" ”

"I don't know."

"Impossible." Ning Qian shouted, "How can you not know who I am if you are going to rob the marriage?" ”

"What, you think you're famous? I'll know who you are? ”

"Wouldn't the bandits inquire about everything before they robbed?"

"You don't need to know that." Interrupting her coldly, the masked man reached out and dug into the food box. In the next moment, a piece of mung bean cake appeared in his hand. To Ning Qian's surprise, the mung bean cake was actually placed on paper, it seems that this masked man is a man who loves cleanliness.

Her gaze wasn't entirely on the mung bean cake, she was looking at his hand, right hand to be exact. It was red and swollen, and if you looked closely, there were shallow tooth marks.

That tooth mark is Ning Qian's masterpiece, when she robbed the marriage, she had already run away, who would have thought that she would be caught by the masked man from behind her clothes. She wanted to escape, but she could only struggle desperately, unable to break free, and was so angry that she grabbed the hand and bit it down fiercely.

Now it seems that the bite was not too heavy at that time, and she was a little depressed, secretly thinking why didn't she exert more effort just now?

With a wave of the masked man's hand, the mung bean cake wrapped in paper shot towards Ning Qian like an arrow. Subconsciously, Ning Qian wanted to hide sideways. But when she thought that it was her own food, she had to stretch out her hands to catch the mung bean cake, not to mention, she really caught it.

With a bright smile, she unwrapped the paper outside and looked at it. A burst of fragrance came to her nose, and although her stomach was already screaming, she didn't eat the mung bean cake right away. She was still worried, afraid that the masked man would drug it inside.

Seeing her staring at the mung bean cake for a long time without moving, the masked man sneered, "Don't worry, it's not drugged inside." You can just eat it with confidence. ”

It was a disaster that couldn't be avoided, and Ning Qian stuffed the whole mung bean cake into her mouth. In fact, she had a hunch that the masked man wouldn't use that kind of indiscriminate trick against her.

When she finished eating, the masked man's second question came again, "How much money does your family have?" ”

"I really don't know this, my father and my brothers are taking care of the family's business, how can I know. Why do you ask this, is it possible that you still want to rob the Ning family? ”

Ning Qian was shocked, these bandits were also bold, right? No, she must not sit still, she must think of an escape. Aiming at the distance between herself and the doorway, could she run out of the doorway before the masked man caught her? It shouldn't work, that masked man's martial arts are so high, isn't she daydreaming?

Another piece of mung bean cake shot over, and Ning Qian, who was immersed in her thoughts, didn't reach out to pick it up at all. But the mung bean cake didn't fall to the ground, it landed on Ning Qian's lap, as if the masked man had already known that she wouldn't pick it up.

I felt something on my leg, and when I looked back, I saw another piece of mung bean cake. She looked over to the masked man, who was kind.

"Don't look, you deserve it."

Ning Qian didn't speak, and ate the piece herself. For now, as long as you don't starve to death, it's fine.

"What is the relationship between the Ning family and the prefect." The masked man spoke suddenly.

"Huh? Relationship? "Yes, what does it matter, Ning Qian also wants to know." If there was no marriage robbery today, it should be the relationship between the in-laws, but now ······" She didn't know either.
