Chapter 13: Throwing yourself into the net
Thinking of this, Lan E hurriedly reached out to stop Wang Xian: "Wait! Don't rush over yet. ”
After drilling in the forest for more than half an hour, Wang Xian was already tired and hungry.
Wang Xian grinned and said, "If you're afraid, just wait." ”
Lan E didn't hold back, she had already slipped into the forest.
"This idiot goose!" Lan E stomped her feet anxiously, but at this moment the torch light moved back and forth, and it seemed that someone had come out of the house again, so she had to bend down and pinch her throat and shout: "Ah Xian...... Ah Xian......"
After shouting a few times, seeing that Wang Xian didn't look back, she had to follow to the edge of the forest, squatted down, and carefully pushed away the grass.
There were several huts in front of them, and there were seven or eight men and women standing in the open space in front of them.
Lan'e opened her eyes wide and looked at them one by one...... Two men in the shape of a black tower were holding torches, and several women stood beside the men.
At this time, the woman standing at the front raised her chin slightly, looked at the old man who kowtowed on the ground with a proud face, and said, "What do you say?" ”
The old man kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried bitterly, "The old man only has this one daughter!" In the future, I will still point to her for the elderly, and ask the big witch to spare the old man's family! ”
"Spare me?" The woman rolled her small triangular eyes to the sky, and said in a strange manner: "It's rare for Zheng Weng to say this. The river god chose Xinggu as his daughter-in-law, that is the blessing of your Zheng family, and Zheng Weng should be happy. Now Zheng Weng pushes three and four, isn't he afraid of angering the river god? After that, he raised his hand and waved his hand, and said sharply: "Please get in the car!" ”
"Yes." Someone in the room answered.
Suddenly, a woman opened the door, and another woman came out with a little lady of fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Father......" The little lady was cut off by the woman's arm, and struggled desperately, so she turned her head and hissed and shouted to Zheng Weng: "Father...... Father save Xingniang! ”
The daughter shouted heartbreakingly, Zheng Weng burst into tears for a while, crawled to the old woman with his hands and feet, and begged bitterly: "Da Wu, please Da Wu, leave an incense for the old man's family!" ”
The stout man holding the torch next to him sneered: "Incense? I think Zheng Weng is very healthy, it is better to take a few more concubines and have a few more children. ”
The man's mouth was crooked, and his feet were not idle, so he hurriedly stepped forward, raised his foot and stepped on his back.
Zheng Weng's body instantly threw himself on the ground and screamed, "You...... You give me back my apricot ......"
Xingniang saw that her eyes were about to split, and she struggled desperately to go to Zheng Weng's side, crying in her mouth: "A-Niang is seriously ill, Xing Gu always has to serve the decoction at the bedside, begging the great witch...... Pray for kindness from the Great Witch. ”
Lan'e listened to her sadness, so she held her breath and moved forward again.
With such a move, she saw the great witch purse her lips and smile, and her smile was indescribably mocking and sarcastic: "Today I am kind to you, if you anger the river god, the river god will not be kind to rain down." ”
Lan E narrowed her eyes.
This cold-blooded and poisonous woman really came to marry the river god.
Today's luck ...... Sure enough, it's good.
Lan E's heart moved slightly, and she turned her eyes to find Wang Xian.
The torch light is extinguished and swaying, and the shadows of the trees are like ghosts.
And the dark night around her is deep, where can she see where Wang Xian is?
Lan E then looked at the people in front of the house again.
A donkey cart was parked on the edge of the clearing.
Because the shadow of the tree was hidden before, Lan E didn't see it, and at this moment the two women escorted Xing Gu to the side of the car, and a man followed him with a torch to illuminate it.
Under the cover of the firelight, Zhao San next to the donkey cart was being seen.
Seeing him, the corners of Lan E's eyes jumped, and Wang Xian's fiery temperament was afraid that she couldn't help it.
Really......
The grass not far from the donkey cart made a noise, and Wang Xian hurriedly came out, pointing at Zhao San and shouting: "What a shameless thief, come here." After shouting this, he turned back to the other women, "Quickly arrest him and go to the county guard, he is a kidnapper." ”
The other women were a little surprised.
The old woman in front of her raised her chin slightly, and looked Wang Xian up and down with a look like a jewel.
After a few glances, the woman's eyes showed some satisfaction, and she raised her voice and asked, "Isn't there another one?" What about that? ”
No one was silent. Only Zhao San said with a bitter face: "That question ......." ”
Wang Xian was afraid of this person's cunning, so she hurriedly said: "Ask him, he is here, and that accomplice must be nearby." ”
This time, the old woman didn't look at Zhao San, but only focused on Wang Xian.
It's just that she looks at people like she is looking at a fool or an ignorant child, with a little pity, more like a little ridiculous, and asks leisurely: "His accomplice is a fat woman, yes or no?" ”
Something is not good.
Wang Xian blinked, leaned over and looked behind her.
Two or three steps behind him was the big man holding the torch, and Zhao San was standing next to the big man.
This kind of posture of intercepting people from the back road has been experienced once just now.
This is preparing to arrest people.
Scratch yourself!
Wang Xian shuddered, stiffened her face, and glared at the old woman fiercely.
"Humph! Do you understand this time? The old woman sneered, and before the laughter fell, her face suddenly changed, and she shouted: "Don't do it yet? ”
The torch light was extinguished.
There was darkness all around.
Oh! Lan E's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she hurriedly prostrated herself again, almost touching the ground, and then opened her eyes wide and listened intently.
All around was the sound of the wind blowing and the grass growing.
It's okay, it's okay.
No one found out.
Lan E sighed, and was about to raise her head, when suddenly the fire brightened in front of her, and she didn't have time to exclaim, and there was a pain in her neck.
Lan'e had a dream, in the dream she was surrounded by a pack of wolves, she wanted to run, her legs were entangled by vine man, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move, she wanted to shout for help......
"Help......"
"Howl what, wake up."
Wang Xian grabbed Lan'e and shook and swayed, and when she saw that she opened her eyes in a daze, she let go of her hand and said with a look of disgust: "I'm afraid I'll have to be scolded again, don't howl." ”
Who howled! Lan E's sleepiness instantly flew away from the nine clouds, and she sat up. A few little ladies next to her were stretching their necks to look at her, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly retracted and sat down.
How can there be a group of little ladies? Lan E blinked, rushed over to pick up the window, but didn't touch the window, she turned her face to look around again, up and down...... Around...... Anterior and post-...... It's all planks.
And between the shaking of the carriage, there seemed to be some bronze and iron utensils, knocking on the back of the car wall "jingling".
Wang Xian squinted at Lan E, pouted, and said, "Don't look at it, there's a lock on the outside." ”
If you can't see anything, don't you even know where you're going?
Lan E looked around for a while, and saw Xing Gu sitting in the corner, so she asked her, "Are you all daughters-in-law for the river god?" ”
Xinggu turned her face away, covered her mouth, and sobbed and cried.
The little lady next to her murmured: "My father and mother received the witch's gift, I ...... I can finally get some food for my family. ”
When the other little ladies heard this, they immediately said "Me too"
"Wu Niang said that the county guard gave an order, and if he resisted the order, he would be exiled to southern Fujian with his family."
The wall wrench of the car suddenly "knocked on" and shook twice.
"What are you shouting about?" The male voice outside said viciously: "If you don't obey again, I will throw you into the river." ”
It seems that the carriage is guarded by people.
Lan E glanced at a few little ladies, and these ladies hurriedly sat back.
Wang Xian also moved over and squeezed her to sit down.
I don't know how long it was, but the donkey cart slowly stopped.
A woman opened the car door and said, "Get out of the car." ”
Two rows of women stood in front of the door.
When Lan E saw a little lady going down, a stout woman stepped forward to hold her, and then someone led her away with a lantern. went down one more, and another woman stepped forward to catch it, and when they were finished one by one, she and Wang Xian squeezed down to the ground.
A stout woman stepped forward and said, "Keep up." ”
After that, he didn't look at the two of them, turned around and lit the lantern to lead the way.
Wang Xian held Lan E tightly and muttered in a low voice, "Where is this!" It's pitch black. ”
Lan E didn't say anything.
As soon as she got out of the donkey cart, she noticed that there was no light around except for the lantern in the woman's hand in front of her.
There was no light, not a word.
It seems that those little ladies have disappeared out of thin air.
