Chapter 54: Writing a Farewell Book
The old lady's body shook, as if she was frightened by the bandits, so she had to climb on Shen Lingyu's back and let her carry her away.
The road up the mountain was not easy to walk, and Shen Lingyu was poisoned again, so he was out of breath after walking for a while, and his vision gradually became blurred.
One was careless, and almost fell to the ground with the old lady on his back.
Liu Lianyi held her wrist and said distressedly: "Brother and sister, you are too tired, why don't you let me carry it for a while?" ”
As soon as Shen Lingyu was about to wave his hand, the leader strode over and unceremoniously pulled Liu Lianyi away.
"Get out of the way for Lao Tzu, if you feel sorry for her again, Lao Tzu will chop you up together!"
Liu Lianyi trembled with fright, and craned his neck and didn't dare to say a word.
However, the old lady saw that Shen Lingyu's expression was not very good, so she slowly took out a pill from her arms and handed it to her mouth.
"Girl, take this, a big tonic."
Shen Lingyu smiled when she heard this, what kind of great tonic could an old lady who lived in Qingxin Nunnery all the year round have, I was afraid that she felt that she couldn't go away, so she did her best to repay her like this.
Shen Lingyu didn't want the old lady to have too much burden in her heart, so she opened her mouth and took the medicine.
Strange to say, not long after taking the medicine, she felt that her whole body seemed to be full of strength, which was really strange.
"Grandma, what kind of medicine did you give me?"
She felt that it was even better than what Dr. Mo had given her.
The old lady smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you, the big tonic is only a thousand-year-old ginseng added to it, as well as a century-old Ganoderma lucidum, Tianshan Snow Lotus, and ......."
"And?!"
Shen Lingyu was stunned.
What is the origin of this old lady, and where did she get so many precious medicinal materials?
Such a good thing, I'm afraid that there may not be anything in the palace.
The one she just took alone could be sold for a thousand gold outside.
After a few more walks, the bandits stopped in front of a deep, empty cave.
The leader took out a fire breaker, lit a torch, and walked in first.
This cave is as big as the front yard of the General's Mansion, from the entrance to the innermost, it is about 20 meters long and 100 meters wide, and the roof of the cave is as high as a three-story building from the ground, enough to accommodate nearly 1,000 people.
Shen Lingyu leaned against the wall and slowly lowered the old lady, and rested for a long time before she recovered.
At that time, the leader had ordered his subordinates to tie up all the nuns in the Qingxin Nunnery, leaving her alone.
Shen Lingyu doesn't think this is a special treatment, this move must have another purpose.
Sure enough, under her vigilant gaze, the leader suddenly tore off a yellowed linen cloth from his body, took a charred wooden stick, and walked up to her with a gloomy face.
"Write a letter to your mother's family, and within three days, ask them to scrape together enough 10 million taels of silver to redeem you, otherwise, your family will never want to be reunited in this life."
Shen Lingyu said with a smile: "Do you know how long it will take for the letter from here to Yangzhou City to be delivered?" ”
still gathered enough 10 million taels in three days, this person wants to eat at both ends, and it depends on whether he has the life to enjoy this pouring wealth.
The leader said impatiently: "If you want to write, you can write, where is so much nonsense!" ”
Shen Lingyu saw that he didn't care about his words, and frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
This person probably didn't intend to let her live from the beginning, and only asked her to write a handwritten letter in order to get money from her father.
And this letter is not a distress letter, but a farewell letter she left for her father.
When my father and mother saw her letter, they would try to make up enough money, because the one who held the initiative was this thief, and they had no better choice but to listen to his instructions.
So time wasn't a big deal for the bandit, all he wanted was a letter from her to prove to his father that she was still alive.
Thinking of this, Shen Lingyu kicked away the wooden stick on the ground.
"I won't write it, there's a kind of you're going to kill me right now!"
When the thieves saw her tone, they were also furious.
"Do you think Lao Tzu wouldn't dare!"
Shen Lingyu squinted and sneered, "Of course you dare, but if I die now, you won't be able to take my handwritten letter to my father and mother to ask for money." ”
"You!"
The leader raised an eyebrow, then smiled again.
"Mrs. Pei, you don't cross in front of Lao Tzu, don't forget that I'm a thief, I want to rely on your little ability to pinch me, you are still a little tender."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and walked in front of Liu Lianyi, and dragged the person from the ground with a lewd smile.
Liu Lianyi shouted in a panic, "Ah! Brother and sister save me! ”
Shen Lingyu's expression changed suddenly, "You let my sister-in-law go!" ”
The leader turned a deaf ear, and ripped off Liu Lianyi's coat as if no one was around.
Shen Lingyu knew that he was threatening her with Liu Lianyi's innocence, so he gritted his teeth with hatred, and had no choice but to compromise.
"I write!"
When the man heard this, he narrowed his eyes and smiled triumphantly.
"Third Mrs. Pei, wouldn't it be good to be so obedient earlier?"
Shen Lingyu didn't answer, squatted down and picked up a wooden stick, and slowly wrote on the linen cloth one by one.
She could only delay as much time as possible now, and although Mona was doing a good job, it would take some effort to get to the mountain, so she must not let herself have trouble until Mona returned.
After writing the letter, the leader picked it up and looked at it, grinning with satisfaction.
"Mrs. Pei, to be honest, you are quite courageous, and I am reluctant to kill you, but it's a pity that ......"
Unfortunately, before he could say anything, he was distracted by a loud noise outside the cave.
One of his men hurried out to see, and after a while he came back in a panic, and without knowing what to say to the leader, a group of people came out of the cave in a hurry.
Shen Lingyu guessed that Mona was coming with reinforcements, sat up from the ground quietly, and saw that there was only one thief left guarding the door, so he pulled off the pearl hairpin on his head and walked towards him.
"This little brother ......"
The little thief turned around when he heard the sound and subconsciously raised his knife to her.
"What do you want to do, give me an honest back stay!"
Shen Lingyu stretched out the pearl hairpin, looked at him and asked with a smile: "Little brother, don't be nervous, I just want to ask what's going on outside?" ”
When the little thief saw the pure gold pearl hairpin, a green light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"W-This is for me?"
Shen Lingyu smiled and nodded, "Naturally." ”
The little thief hurriedly snatched it and bit it in his mouth, almost breaking his teeth.
"Our big boss said that some officers and soldiers had gone up the mountain, so he took his brothers to fight the officers and soldiers."
Shen Lingyu pretended to be surprised and said, "Then you still don't run?" ”
The little thief shook his head solemnly and said, "I won't run!" The big boss told me to stay here and watch you, if I ran away, the big boss would be angry. ”
Shen Lingyu said in his heart that this person is really rigid enough, whether his life can be saved depends on another matter, if he continues to stay here, there is only one way to die.
Shen Lingyu pursed her lips, and just wanted to preach again, but when she turned her eyes, she saw that the bandit leader had returned.
It's just that he seems to be injured on his body, and it is extremely difficult to walk with his chest covered.
When he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw her standing and talking to his men, and he suddenly drew his knife and put it on her neck.
"Come with me!"
