Chapter 1: Escape from the Wolf's Den
After Su Wu woke up, she knew that she had crossed, not only crossed, but also been kidnapped.
Strictly speaking, she was robbed by bandits on the way to get married, and then the unsympathetic husband abandoned her in order to escape for his life and ran away on horseback.
And the bandits originally wanted to kill her as soon as they were cool, but when they learned from the dowry maid that she was actually the young lady of the Su family in Qiandeng Town, 50 miles away from here, they immediately changed their minds.
just killed the maid after ruining it, and Su Wu was tied up by them. Su Wu sighed, his life is too bitter, he is a human being in two lives, and he is a bitter life in both lives.
In his previous life, he worked for a lifetime, and although he finally achieved the high position of general manager of a multinational group company in China, he did not know how many hardships and grievances he suffered that ordinary people could not imagine.
Although he ended up in a high position, he often worried about his life. The reason why she crossed into this world is because she was assassinated with a sniper rifle by a hitman hired by a foreign rival company while traveling to a certain country in South Africa.
Therefore, she has experienced strong winds and waves, and in the face of the current scene, she is not panicked and afraid, this is a small scene. Isn't it just kidnapping, she has experience, she can escape in a well-guarded reinforced concrete building, this kind of wooden house is simply pediatric.
Close your eyes again, adjust your breathing, and wait for your body to recover. It took about an hour or two for her to cross over after the death of her previous body, and this body was almost cold, so it was a little slow to recover.
After another hour or two, Su Wu felt that his body was warm, and his heartbeat returned to normal, so he sat up from the bed with difficulty. However, his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was stuffed with a cloth.
The predecessor was suffocated by this cloth, and these bandits are too unprofessional. You can't kidnap anyone, so what else can you do? It's better to die, Su Wu thought viciously.
The original owner was only 16 years old, a delicate age, and her body was very soft, she used her tongue to push out the rag, and then separated her knees, so that her mouth could reach the instep directly.
Untie the rope that binds your feet by biting the end of the rope with your teeth, then prop your hands on the bed and run your lower body between your arms. He wrapped his hands behind his back around the front.
Then draw a scoop according to the gourd to untie the rope that binds your hands. After her hands and feet were free, she rubbed her wrists and ankles, which had been strangled by the rope. While looking at the room, it was a utility room, full of all kinds of miscellaneous items, dirty.
However, there are usually useful survival tools in utility rooms, and these bandits are really unprofessional. Not only did he lock her up in a room full of miscellaneous items, but he also lit an oil lamp in the room.
When her hands and feet were restored, she got out of bed lightly, and with the help of the dim light of the oil lamp, she searched for usable tools in the pile of debris on the ground.
The two bandits who were in charge of guarding her outside had already slept like dead pigs, snoring like thunder, which also provided her with great convenience. Soon, Su Wu found a pole about two meters long and the thickness of an adult's thigh in the pile of debris.
Su Wu glanced at the only wooden door in this room, and with great effort, he carried it to the door and pressed the door against it.
This made Su Wu very satisfied, which was the key to whether she could escape smoothly. When this step is completed, it is half the battle.
Why block the door? Because there are two bandits guarding outside, it is absolutely impossible for her little girl to escape from the front of the two strong bandits, so she must take dangerous moves.
Although the two bandits were already sleeping like pigs at this time, Su Wu believed that as long as he pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, the creaking sound was enough to wake up these guys who had been licking blood on the knife all year round.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to walk from the door, Su Wu stopped the door and rested for a while. These bastards caught her, in order to make the original owner have no strength to make a fuss, and perhaps also to save food, and only gave her one meal a day.
Now she was tired and hungry, and after only a few moments, she was already tired and sweating. After resting for a while to recover his breath and recover his strength a little, Su Wu rummaged through the mess in the room to find the only iron tool that was more handy.
This is a hoe, it's quite heavy, anyway, Su Wu feels heavier than the hoe he used in his previous life. She tried to swing it, feeling that if it had more strength, it could be used as a weapon.
But there was one thing she didn't understand, could it be that these bandits could still farm? Aren't all bandits living on robbery? found something to take advantage of, Su Wu didn't delay any longer, and threw the oil lamp directly on the bed.
Suddenly, a fire broke out in the room, and in just a few seconds, even the roof was lit, Su Wuzhi felt a heat wave coming to his face, and his hair felt a little scorched.
Su Wu hurriedly wet a rag with water in a basin, then put it on his body, and then tore off a piece of his clothes, soaked it with water, and covered his mouth and nose. Then get under the table to avoid being hit by something falling from the roof.
It was only then that the bandits outside the door were awakened by the fire in the house, and when they found that there was a fire burning in the house, they were immediately shocked and wanted to push the door in, but found that they could not open the door.
The two bandits shouted at the same time: ", it's on fire, save people, or the silver will be gone." ”
When Su Wu heard this, he was almost so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, Nima, she is really dedicated enough, she is worthy of being a bandit, she is really dedicated enough.
The two stupid guys kicked the door hard outside, kicked for a while, and found that they couldn't kick it open, and then one of them finally thought of calling someone, and then ran away shouting "Go to the water, put out the fire".
At this moment, the roof of the thatched and mud-pasted roof finally burned down and collapsed with a thud. Su Wu, who was hiding by the window, was waiting for this moment.
She waited until the roof stopped falling and immediately got out from under the table. She slammed her hoe against the window, and after only four or five blows, the long wooden lattice was smashed into a hole large enough for her to climb out.
Su Wu threw the hoe and shook the arm that was a little numb, and then hurriedly climbed out of the window.
Escaping from the already crumbling room, Su Wu let out a long sigh of relief, if it was any later, he would have been burned inside.
But now is not the time to be safe, and the bandits will surely gather in large numbers to escape before they arrive. Su Wu discerned the direction for a moment, and then quietly disappeared into the darkness.
She walked lightly along the dark wall towards the side of the cottage, and could not go to the gate, which must be guarded by bandits. There will only be patrolling bandits on the side, just dodge them.
But you have to get a horse, otherwise you will definitely not be able to escape far and be caught by the bandits. The bandit went to call someone, as long as there were many people, he would definitely be able to easily break open the door. As long as they go in and find that they have escaped instead of being burned, they will definitely be hunted for them.
can make these evil bandits endure and not spoil her, it can be seen that taking her will definitely be exchanged for a lot of silver, and those bandits will not let her go.
Therefore, running on two legs will never escape. Su Wu remembered that when she was caught, she accidentally saw a flat land similar to a playground not far from entering the cottage, and on the right side of the flat land was a stable.
There are horses in the stables, and all Su Wu has to do is take advantage of the chaos to steal a horse. Time was pressing, and she quickened her pace, almost trotting away.
At this time, the roof of the house had burned down, and the flames were so bright that they could be seen from afar. At this time, the bandits in the cottage were rushing towards that side.
One by one, they shouted and scolded everywhere to find water to extinguish the fire, Su Wu smiled secretly, it burned well, it was best to ignite it in other places.
She remembered that there was a row of wooden houses next to the house. The roof is also covered with thatch, which is almost a little on this dry late autumn day.
After going around for more than ten minutes and avoiding several waves of bandits, Su Wu finally found the stable, and there were indeed horses inside.
Su Wu saw that there was no one left and right, so he led a horse that looked very strong, and tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes to tie it to its mouth, so that it would not bark.
Then he untied the reins of the other horses and threw a torch not far away into the stable. Suddenly, the horses scattered and fled.
She wanted to let those bandits find out that she had escaped, and they couldn't chase her for a while. After doing all this, she led the horse and disappeared into the darkness.
With the help of the dim moonlight, Su Wu soon came to the southeast of the cottage and found that there was no one here. Su Wu immediately got on the horse, flicked the reins, and quickly walked out of the cottage.
"A rabble is a rabble, and the garrison is so loose that if it is surrounded and suppressed, it will be swept away with almost no resistance." A hint of mockery hung on the corner of Su Wu's mouth.
The kidnapping she experienced in her previous life was much more dangerous than this, and she could escape at that time, which was simply pediatric.
However, just when she was secretly proud, a scolding came from the front: "Who? Register your name. ”
Su Wu was almost so frightened by this roar that she fell off her horse, and her hairs stood on end. Slowly turning her head to look at where the voice came from, she saw that in the bush about seventeen or eighteen meters away to her left, two bandits were holding torches and a steel knife in the other hand.
The blade shone with a palpitating cold glow under the light of the torch, and what frightened Su Wu the most was that they still had bows and arrows on their backs.
Su Wu's heart suddenly cooled half, it's over, what are these bandits running out of the night without sleeping? However, in the end, she had an unusual temperament, forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, and fixed her eyes on the two bandits who were shouting.
found that except for two bandits, no bandits appeared, so I felt a little at ease.
Seeing that the two bandits didn't answer each other, they shouted again: "Speak, otherwise grandpa will not be polite." ”
Of course, Su Wu can't answer, I don't know if there are women on this mountain, but I guess there should be none. Even if there were, they were taken captive, so how could they go down the mountain?
She gritted her teeth and gambled, she didn't believe that these bandits were so powerful that they could still penetrate Yang in this black-lit environment.
And if you don't run away now, you really can't get away when the bandits in the cottage catch up.
When the two bandits saw that no one answered, they immediately threw away the steel knife in their hands, found a place to plant torches, and were about to take down their bows and arrows.
Su Wu knew that she didn't have time to think, so she slapped the horse hard, and the horse was in pain, and immediately raised her hooves and galloped. When the two bandits saw Su Wu beating his horse galloping wildly, they didn't care about finding a place to plant torches, so they threw it on the spot and took bows and arrows to shoot.
But at this time, where can I see Su Wu's shadow in the dark light? The two could only shoot blindly in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.
Su Wu didn't care if the other party had time to release the arrow, and immediately turned over and hung his body on the stomach on the right side of the horse at the moment he rushed out.
She had just turned over and hung up when she heard the sound of two arrows swishing through the air. Then there was a beep, the sound of arrows thrusting into the dirt. There was also a thud, the sound of arrows hitting the trunk of a tree.
Su Wu was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out, but fortunately, the bandits could only shoot blindly at night, otherwise they would die.
In the dark night, there was only dim moonlight, she didn't dare to ride too fast, the mountain roads were narrow, and if she rode too fast, the horse would easily fall, so she ran out for a while and made sure that she got rid of the bandits, and Su Wu slowed down her horse.
However, she didn't dare to ride fast, and neither did the bandits. And if the two bandits chased with their legs, Su Wu only needed to let the horses trot, and they didn't want to catch up. So, she just needs to keep up with her current speed.
It wasn't until she had escaped for a full two or three kilometers that she let out a long sigh of relief when she saw that the bandits hadn't chased after them. But she did not dare to stop at all, and continued to steer her horse away.
The night wind of late autumn was very cold, blowing on the body, and the cold air went straight into the cracks of the bones. Fortunately, Su Wu wore thicker clothes when she got married, otherwise she felt that she might not be able to wait until she went back.
Fortunately, it was almost dawn at this time, and when it was dawn, the temperature would be good if it would be good if it was warm. Although the autumn nights are cold, the days are still warm.
After running for another hour, the sky finally dawned, and a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky. The morning sun sprinkled countless golden rays, and put a layer of luxurious long skirts on the vast land.
Su Wu didn't delay any longer at this time, took off the cloth strip on the horse's mouth, and immediately shook the horsewhip, the horse was in pain and neighed.
Four legs exert force, raising a cloud of dust, and the sound of hooves is like a sharp sword, piercing the silence of the morning light.
She didn't know if there were bandits chasing her, but for her safety, she ran for a while and then turned around, preparing to make a circle from the south and then enter the city.
Even if the bandits catch up with them later, they will miss it, otherwise the remaining 10 kilometers of road may be caught up.
But when she approached Qiandeng Town, she hesitated again, not knowing whether she should go back or not, she was penniless at this time, and she definitely couldn't go back if she didn't go back.
But this society is very feudal, that is, the man dies just after marriage, and the woman has to be widowed.
She didn't know if she would be sent to the coward's house again by her parents, and if she did, she would vomit blood.
It's better to marry something that is worse than a dog, and it's better to let her die. But after thinking about it, is it possible that there is still someone in this world who can trap her? Get back.
It's a big deal to run away when the time comes, and at least you can get some money when you go back, right? Otherwise, you will be penniless, and you will not be able to move an inch.
Thinking of this, Su Wu no longer hesitated, and directly turned his horse to prepare to enter the town. Qiandeng Town is an ancient town with a long history, since ancient times, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, humanities are gathered, and the people are rich.
Su Wu rode across the White Dragon Bridge and was greeted by the ancient and melodious black brick city wall of Qiandeng Town. On the city wall, there were already defender soldiers coming out one after another, stretching their waists one by one, looking sleepy-eyed. In the distance, you can already see the gates slowly opening.
Just as Su Wu was about to turn his horse and prepare to enter the city, he suddenly saw several men with red cloth strips on their foreheads looking left and right from a distance under the big trees about forty or fifty meters away from the city gate.
Su Wu was shocked, aren't these those bandits on Canglong Ridge? Fuck me, these bastards are so fast? I didn't catch up with myself on the road to the east, so I blocked people at the gate before the city gate opened?
Su Wu gritted her teeth with hatred, these bastards are really bold. In order to catch himself, he dared to come to Qiandeng Town to block the door?
There are more than 2,000 defenders in this Thousand Lights Town, so these bastards are not afraid of coming and going? However, when Su Wu looked at the soldiers on the city wall, he found that some of these guys didn't even approve their armor. Even if he was wearing armor, the helmet was buckled crookedly on the door of his head.
Su Wu really doubted that the combat power of these bastards could be compared to these bandits who licked blood from the knife edge, otherwise these bandits would not dare to be so arrogant.
She hurriedly turned her horse around, but fortunately, there was a tall willow tree here, which covered Su Wu's figure. Su Wu saw the bandits, but the bandits didn't see her.
Su Wu turned his horse and walked back, but he felt melancholy in his heart, he couldn't enter the city, and sooner or later he would be discovered by bandits outside, what should he do?
