Chapter VI Schemes
On the second day, I was woken up by my mother's loud voice, rubbing my eyes, and for a moment I felt like I was still in Flowerless Town.
"Mother, get up so early?" I looked at the sky outside that had not yet been revealed, and retracted my head back into the quilt, as if I was eating meat buns in a dream?
"Ahh Someone's ear was grabbed by a pair of large hands. I rubbed my ears and got out of bed with great reluctance. Sure enough, my mother's gentleness last night was all a lie.
When my face meets that of a donkey, I really don't know if I should be happy or frightened. The bell-like eyes glanced at me, and a foul smell of heat erupted from their mouths. It's not a horse-drawn cart, it's a donkey cart!
My mother said "the donkey cart is cheap" and stepped on.
Forget about the stupid donkey, I'm still happy, as long as it's not walking, donkey cart and carriage.
My mother and I were crammed into a cramped carport, and my ass had to fight with an elderly mother, and unfortunately, I lost and was taken up by her.
And my mother, who was chatting with her at the moment, turned my head away from them.
"Are you going to the capital?"
"Well, I don't know what you are?"
"We, we're going to visit relatives in Wu County." Then he said, "Your daughter is really beautiful. ”
"Where, haha, your two daughters are well-behaved and lovely." People like to listen to good words, and my mother is no exception.
I turned my head and looked across the corner, only to see that there were two more girls. Their heads are bowed, they look very shy, and they are indeed well-behaved.
But—just when I felt bored and was about to withdraw my gaze, a pair of big eyes shot at me. I'm about the same age, and my eyes are beautiful!
Wait a minute! I seem to have missed something! That look, it seems...... Like the stray dog that once circled me.
Beg? Wretched? Helpless?
I think I must have read it wrong.
Along the way, it was the voice of my mother and that mother, and occasionally the voice from outside the coachman. I was so absorbed in my own thoughts that I didn't listen to them.
I wanted to say a few words to the two girls, but every time I said it, they either nodded or shook their heads, and the old mother said they were dumb and couldn't speak.
I can't help but regret in my heart, how can a person with such beautiful eyes be dumb?
With the donkey cart, it was really much faster, and Wu County arrived before the sun set. The coachman said that there are still a few county towns in the capital, and that we should hire another carriage tomorrow, and after saying that, he turned around and left.
Originally, we were going to stay at the same inn, but the old lady with cinnabar red said that she had a relative here who could let us stay overnight. I didn't want to go, but before I could speak, my mother agreed.
I was dragged by my mother, and I couldn't like the way my mother looked at me.
Walking to the door of a large compound, the old mother walked up, knocked on the door a few times, and was not in a hurry, just stood and waited, and then a man with a thin head opened the door.
As soon as the man saw his mother, his eyes immediately laughed, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw us, and then retracted his gaze freely, "Mother Rong, I look forward to you coming, please come in, please come in." ”
This is a small courtyard, which is better than the average household, but it is not as good as the courtyard under the flowers.
The yard under the flowers, I also peeked a few times when I went to play with her, the big one is magnificent, but the people in their family don't seem to like others to disturb, especially our group of children.
What intrigued me was that the old mother, no, that is, Rong's mother, disappeared after arranging a room for us, and the two girls disappeared by the way.
While taking out the baked cakes in the baggage, my mother sighed that she had met a good person.
I grabbed a pancake and took a bite, disapproving, if it was really a good person, he should have made us something delicious, instead of people running away and letting us eat dry food here.
After eating a few cakes, it was almost dark, and just as my mother and I were about to turn off the lights and go to bed, there was a knock on the door.
My mother hurriedly opened the door, and it was the man who opened the door.
When he came in, he came in with a good smell of rice. I watched in amazement as he laid out plates of food on the table, saliva rolling in his mouth. Even though I had just eaten two pancakes, my stomach is now like I haven't eaten anything.
The man said that it was sent by Rong Marang, but it was delayed and sent later, I hope we will forgive me.
My mother waved her hand again and again, thanking her one bite at a time. I just looked at the three big chicken legs on the plate on the table, thinking to myself that I would pounce on the man as soon as he was gone.
It didn't seem to be just me who didn't have enough to eat, and when the man left, my mother also picked up chopsticks, and I grabbed a chicken leg and nibbled on it.
My mother said helplessly next to her: "This is not like a girl at home." She probably knew that I had never been a girl, so when she said this, she saw that I did not restrain or come and twist my ears, but only turned into a sigh under the oil lamp.
The light of the oil lamp made people dizzy, and I watched my mother fall on the table in a daze, and before I could call out the "mother", my eyes were dark, and I didn't know anything......
"I didn't expect that I put such a large amount of chicken thighs on and down, and this little girl will last so long."
"It's your medicine that doesn't work."
"How is it possible, I personally bought this from the old demon, and I was cheated by that bald donkey for a lot of money."
“……”
My body was shaking, and I vaguely seemed to hear the voice, and it was dark in front of me, and it took me a while to get used to it, and I could see clearly. At this time, I was lying in a carriage, my face was cold on the wooden board, and the sound came from outside the curtain.
I sat up in shock—drugged!
After scanning around the car, I was stunned to find that there were still people lying in the car! They just lay there quietly, and it was the two girls! This carriage was much larger than the one we came.
I sat and didn't dare to move, and the voices of strange men still came from outside the door, and I could be sure that I hadn't heard them. I don't know what they're going to do, but it doesn't seem like a good thing right now.
Sold to someone else as a wife? Sold Qinglou? Or human meat buns? The more I thought about it, the colder my heart became, and when the cold wind blew, I got goosebumps.
"How soon will they wake up?"
"Don't worry, they won't wake up even when the medicine I got is dawn......"
“…… Still not sure, I'll go in and take a look. ”
Hearing this, I was so shocked that a cold sweat almost fell, and I immediately lay on the floor and pretended to be dead. Soon, a cold wind blew in, and I waited for the curtain to be lowered.
"Well, I'm not awake, hurry up, the people over there are waiting for it."
"If you still don't believe me, where did I miss it?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, I have to keep an eye on everything."
I was getting more and more frightened in the car, and it looked like we were about to be handed over. However, his last sentence was right, and I just didn't pay attention to it...... By the way, my mother must be too...... I don't know how she's doing now, I have to go back and save her!
Seeing that the carriage was going farther and farther, I could only do it in a hurry. It was a carriage without windows, and the only place to go out was the door, but there were two big men sitting there.
I touched my chest, and I was stunned to touch a hard object, and it was still there! But then I had to put my hand down again, and consider whether to wake them up, but when I thought about it, even if the three of us worked together, we might not be able to fight the two big men.
What to do? What to do? The carriage was so fast that my scalp tingled against the plank.
Wait a minute! What did I hear? I put my ears closer, and it looks like a horse is approaching here!
It's closer......
They seemed to notice it too, and began to slow down the carriage.
"Looks like someone is coming."
"Pull the carriage aside, and don't cause trouble." Another voice said.
This is definitely a good opportunity!
I stared at the windswept curtains, clenched my hands, and waited for this to be the only chance.
