CHAPTER XLIII
Ji Liu saw that Qin Se's expression didn't seem to be fake, and guessed in his heart that the person who held her was drugged to delay the healing of the wound, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "It's shameless!" ”
"What are they doing with us?"
After she finished asking, Qin Se's eyes revealed a trace of bitterness and imperceptible despair, and Ji Liu saw that she quickly closed her eyes and didn't want to talk more, so she didn't ask any more.
From being rescued by the people of Stone Village to the present, she has always felt very disobedient, obviously everyone behaves as hospitable, but even a bite of meat has to be hidden and eaten.
That enthusiasm is indifferent to the bone.
But if they are not poor, they are all yellow and thin, and they have few taels of flesh and will be planted to the ground at any time. But from time to time, Ji Liu saw that some men were extremely strong, as if all the good goods in the whole village were left to them.
Although it is very common for the countryside to give priority to men to eat good things, even so, the men raised in really poor places will not be much better, at most a little better than the sharp-beaked monkey gills.
The stone village difference is also too obvious.
In any case, she threw something on the ground before she fainted, hoping to be found by Sheng Li and rescue them as soon as possible.
Sheng Li couldn't move around during the day, and hurried back to the house when the sky was red, still holding the homemade harpoon that Ji Liu had thrown by the river.
His eyes were closed, but his mind was churning.
Ji Liu will not throw her harpoon next to the clay sculpture in Stone Village for no reason, unless the last place she wants to go is related to the clay statue of the goddess.
She once said that the villagers worship the two statues as gods, which are the spiritual pillars of the whole village, and the hope and motivation for everyone to live.
Hope and motivation in the village?
Sheng Li's eyes widened suddenly, he understood!
What he has to do now is to replenish his physical strength, and wait for the villagers to fall asleep at night and go directly to Jiliu to rescue her.
Ji Liu in the cellar was not so lucky, she just fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up by the sound of "squeak~". She first glanced at Qin Se and found that the corners of her mouth twitched lightly and she didn't open her eyes, but her slightly trembling eyelids revealed her thoughts at this time.
Taking advantage of the light coming in from the cellar door, Ji Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, she completely saw Qin Se's physical state, subconsciously bit her lower lip, and held back the scream that was about to blurt out, she forced herself to look away and put it on the face of the approaching aunt.
"Auntie, if you let the people in the village know that the dignified village chief's wife is stunned and persecuted a woman from a good family, I'm afraid it's not good!"
"You ......"
The aunt in front of her was the wife of the village chief of Stone Village, and at this moment she frowned, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the man behind her: "Where is so much nonsense, hurry up and drink the water!" ”
After speaking, he opened the cage, brought a porcelain bowl with a hole, and came in to prepare to forcibly pour Ji Liu.
He has been standing behind the village chief from the time he came in to the time he spoke, and with the light on his back, Ji Liu has just seen his face clearly.
She was suddenly stunned, and the mouth that wanted to ask the rhetorical question stopped instantly, and the man saw this and took the opportunity to take three or two sips, Ji Liu drank the water, and completely fainted before he could speak.
"Remembering the willow...... Remembering the ...... of Liu"
She was awakened by a faint male voice, her head still groggy, Sheng Li's face squeezed in the middle of the cage pole, and she slapped her cheek with his hand as she shouted.
Bang Bang Mu has enough strength.
"Stop fighting." She raised her hand and waved away the big hand of the salute.
Sitting up and slowing down for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief: "There are not so many drugs for cattle!" Looking poor, there are quite a lot of drugs, and this thing is quite expensive. ”
"How are you? I'll get you out right away. The two of them fell off the cliff, and when they woke up, the things on their bodies were long gone, and Sheng Li didn't even have a dagger, so it was impossible to break the chains with his bare hands.
After a few attempts, he sighed, "I'll go find the key." ”
Sitting in the corner at this time, Qin Se, who was shrouded in darkness, chuckled and said: "The key is hung around the village chief's neck, and it will only be taken off if you come to pour the medicine in the morning." ”
Sheng Li found out that there was another person in the shadows, she described it as terrifying and couldn't see her face clearly, her legs had been cut off and only the roots of her legs were left, and there were fragments of flesh foam on the edge of the incision swinging around with her movements, Qin Se's other leg was also cut off to her ankle, and the blood stained by the clothes on her body was stained red, and the original color could not be seen, but the texture of a silk was not worn by ordinary people.
"You ......"
Sheng Li opened his mouth in surprise, the front of his eyelids wrinkled, at first he thought that the person in the corner was dead, but he didn't think she actually spoke.
At this time, Ji Liu also reacted, she looked at Qin Se and carefully studied the memories, and covered her lips in surprise.
She turned her head and held Sheng Li's hand on the cage and said, "She is the person who is looking for by the Criminal Prison Department of the state government." Sheng Li was confused when he heard this, and they didn't notice Qin Se's head raised instantly, and there was a faint light in his empty eyes.
"By the way, you were injured at that time," Ji Liu saw that he didn't know why, and hurriedly explained: "During the few days you were in the infirmary, Master Wen couldn't arrange someone to take care of you, that is, the Criminal Prison Department borrowed all the people from the county office. ”
"Once, Brother Zhao found an old painter to paint a portrait of a man, and that person was the son of the village chief. I've heard that the Prison Department is looking for a girl besides him. ”
Sheng Li only knew that the state capital's Criminal Prison Department borrowed someone to cause Wen Yuecheng to be in a hurry every day, and three or four blisters were grinding on the inside of his chin, but he didn't expect that there was this story in the middle.
As he was sighing, he heard a sneer from Qin Se's side: "He actually sent someone to find me, ha, hahaha, it's so interesting, hahaha, it's so interesting!" Her laughter echoed in the cellar, intermittently sad.
The two of them looked at her together, wanting to remind Qin Se to lower his voice, but who knew that her cheeks were red marks with tears on one side and red marks on the other, and they had to accept the dissuasion in their throats.
After a while, Qin Se calmed down, she raised her blood-stained arm and wiped the traces on her face fiercely, and in an instant, the blood soaked her pale and jade-like face, like Manzhu Sawa quietly blooming in the dark night.
Ji Liu's eyes fell on her chapped lips, and then he saw her thin lips slightly open, and the words she said were unusually cold, causing the two of them to shiver in the dark.
"There is a town across the river through the woods, and as long as you can survive until he brings people back, you will still be alive."
"But," she reminded Sheng Li of how to escape, and then turned her only remaining eye to Ji Liu, "you have to make sure that he is not eaten by the beasts of the village before he returns." ”
Sheng Li looked at her in shock, and was unresponsive for a while, until Qin Se opened his mouth and urged: "Don't hurry up, when it's dawn, they find out that you ran away, and she ...... They will be like me, with fewer legs and arms, or they will eat them all in anger. Hehehe! ”
"How long does it take to get to town?" Under the strong stimulation, Ji Liu kept seeping saliva, and she kept swallowing.
Qin Se turned his head and said, "Two days? Let's go back and forth for four days. I haven't been through it all, probably. After saying that, she returned to her original lifeless appearance, and lowered her head to block the view of the two.
Four days?!
But if the ceremony disappears, it won't take four days, and half a day will be enough for the people in the village to tear the willow apart.
Sheng Li was not at ease, he hurriedly said, "I'll go steal the key." ”
"No way!" Ji Liu grabbed his sleeve, frowned and urged: "You go quickly, bring people over as soon as possible, if you wake up the village chief, none of us will want to leave!" ”
"But ......"
"Save some time in the evening, don't go soon! I'll hold out until you come back, go! ”
Sheng Li knew that this choice was the best, he was not good at martial arts, and his injuries had not healed, and all the news in the village was closed to the village chief, and it was not the best strategy to fight hard with them.
He and Ji Liu glanced at each other, and immediately got up and left after taking her trust into their minds. He secretly decided to wait until Jiliu was rescued and said, "It's okay", instead of telling her to "take care" now that there is no future.
After Sheng Li left, Ji Liu was dizzy all day and completely lost her sleepiness, she didn't expect that the seemingly gentle little village would hide such an unbearable and dirty thing, and her heart was angry and worried.
She waited tremblingly until morning, when the cellar door was opened again.
She can't drink water!
What if someone finds out that Sheng Li ran away and wants to kill her?!
Ji Liu's eyes were closed, and the sound of her ears locking and approaching became more and more distinct, and she kept her eyes as steady as she could, trying to get through the coma.
"It's time for water." Ji Liu was pushed twice by the visitor, she listened carefully for a while, and the only person who came was the village chief's wife, which was better than the village chief's son.
She pretended to have just woken up, rubbed her temples and slowly opened her eyes: "My head hurts, what's in this water?" ”
"What do you do with so much?"
Saying that the village chief's wife didn't talk nonsense, pinched her chin and forced Ji Liu to raise her head to catch the water, "cough cough ~ cough cough ~" Ji Liu choked while drinking, and when she felt that it was almost over, she collapsed to the ground in time.
Thinking that she was very confident in the amount of medicine, the village chief's wife left the cellar with an empty bowl.
Ji Liu waited for a while before daring to open her eyes, she felt sleepiness gradually rising to her head, and immediately reached out her fingers to her throat and eyes, spitting out all the water she was forced to drink just now.
Then he turned over and spread it flat on the ground, glad that he had passed the first level in a hoarse voice: "Fortunately, I'm still awake." ”
"What's the use of being awake? As soon as someone finds out he's running away, you're done. ”
Ji Liu's heart, which had just warmed up, instantly fell to the bottom, and she asked helplessly: "Why don't you drink the drug?" ”
"Oh, the disobedient sheep always have to use some special means."
Even though Qin Se spoke with a mortal heart, Ji Liu did not believe in evil, she believed that Sheng Li would definitely be able to find rescuers to rescue them all, and at worst, Chen Qi and Chen Ba would send someone to rescue them when they found out.
She closed her eyes and began to recuperate, and there was a tough battle to come.
"If someone comes, it's hard for the girl to wake me up." Ji Liu was sure that Qin Se would help her, even if she didn't care about it, she would definitely want to see this group of scum go guillotined with her own eyes.
