10 in a cage
Qiao Jingjing was kidnapped by several fierce men in animal skins.
These people are bold and strong, and they have a very clear purpose.
Why tie her up?
Are they Yan Baihu's people, or are they Pan Lin's?
Yan Baihu was divided into Shicheng Mountain and Baihu Mountain in Wu County, and the heroic commander with more than 10,000 troops was slightly stronger than Sun Ce's power at this time. Pan Lin rebelled in Huiji, often plundering the people, and successive officials could not pacify it for many years, and was later pacified by Lu Xun.
Whether it's them or not, how can Qiao Jingjing have anything to do with them?
In the cold night when the fast horses were galloping, the snow wind was biting, and Qiao Jingjing was so cold that her face turned pale.
In her gradually fading consciousness, she was still struggling to think, thinking about how to escape. But she didn't even know where she was going, and who would fall into her hands.
She herself is a fish on the board, without the slightest ability to resist and escape.
The sky is getting brighter.
On the official road to Shouchun, the dust is flying.
Several carriages lined up, escorted by hundreds of officers and soldiers, were bumpy and bumpy, carrying a group of female dependents.
In the cage, Xiao Qiao cried so much that pear blossoms brought rain, and her trembling hands gently shook the girl who had already passed out on the side.
The girl's eyes were closed, her breath was weak, and the hem of her skirt was stained with mud.
"Sister! Wake up, don't frighten me, don't leave me. ”
Qiao Manman looked at Qiao Jingjing and immediately opened her eyes.
But Qiao Jingjing just closed her eyes and showed no signs of waking up.
Until slapping his face, pinching people, and pinching the tiger's mouth, Qiao Manman did everything he could.
"Ahem!"
Qiao Jingjing finally choked on air and slowly opened her eyes.
Mom, it hurts.
It was as if he had been strangled into 108,000 pieces by a rope.
"Vines? Vines! How are you? ”
Qiao Jingjing remembered that before she closed her eyes, she was snatched from Zhang Zhao by the big man in animal skin like a meat dumpling, how could she be with her sister when she opened her eyes again.
He is still in a cage.
Qiao Manman saw that her sister had finally woken up, her hanging heart was pounding, and she hugged her sister excitedly and cried.
It turned out that since yesterday, after his father and Qiao Er and Qiao San sorted out their weapons and went to the city wall to defend the city, only Qiao Manman and Qiao's second sister-in-law He Miaomiao were left in the family.
He Miaomiao finally had the opportunity to take charge of the backyard of Qiao's house, and she enjoyed Qiao Manman as a blessing, but she didn't expect that at night, a group of thieves came and tied up her aunt and sister-in-law.
But the thief sold his sister-in-law to a trafficker and got ten taels of silver.
The traffickers sold the two to Liu Ajiao.
Liu Ajiao was about to take the servant's dowry and go north to marry Yuan Shu's family to be her daughter-in-law, so she took Qiao Manman away.
Along the way, Liu Ajiao remembered her past with Qiao Jingjing, and now she only held one Qiao Manman, feeling that it was not enough to relieve her anger.
She simply found someone to buy Yan Baihu and asked King Yan Shan to make a contribution and snatch Qiao Jingjing from the hand of the person named Sun Ce.
Although, Liu Ajiao's father Liu Xun and Sun Ce both belong to Yuan Shu's camp.
But Liu Qianjin's desire to enslave Qiao Jingjing in person was too urgent, and she couldn't wait for good words to be exchanged with Sun Ce, so she tied people up in private.
"Sister, these are Liu Ajiao's people. She is going to Shouchun to marry Yuan Yao, the most favored son of the Yuan family. She said that from now on, we sisters will be her slaves, and we will tattoo words on our faces in the future. ”
Qiao Manman cried so sadly.
But she still remembers taking out the only hard-dried nest head from her arms and putting it in her sister's hand.
"Sister, eat something quickly. After a while, their men will stop to rest, and maybe they will come to beat and scold again. My sister suffered the sin and raised her well. ”
Qiao Jingjing broke off half of this dry and hard nest head, ate half of it herself, and gave half to her sister.
Her sister is still young, and although she is a little panicked in trouble, she really loves her as a sister.
"Manman, don't be afraid, don't cry."
Qiao Jingjing hugged this sister.
"I'll be with you in everything! You're right, eat something first, replenish your stamina and then figure out a way. As far as you said, my father and Qiao Er and Qiao San were still guarding the city for a while, and they didn't know that something happened to you, and they wouldn't have thought that I was no longer in Sun Ce's hands at the moment. ”
Qiao Jingjing said in Qiao Manman's ear.
Qiao Manman listened, and his heart was pounding.
She knew that her sister must have a way, but she didn't expect her sister to be so bold.
"We can't go to Shouchun! In Shouchun, we are not familiar with life, and there is no way to go. Vine, when the group stops to rest, you say you have diarrhea and go to the woods to hide yourself. I, I will provoke Liu Ajiao head-on and create chaos, and they won't take care of you. The key to this matter is, don't cry, don't be afraid, hide yourself, understand? I got rid of Liu Ajiao and came back to you, and we took the mark as proof. ”
Qiao Jingjing drew a set of triangle stacked symbols in Qiao Manman's hands.
Qiao Manman nodded tightly.
Sure enough, Liu Ajiao will have to rest after a while, drink water, and let the maid serve and change clothes.
The team stopped.
The officers and soldiers responsible for escorting Liu Ajiao are all Liu Xun's cronies. They usually rely on Liu Xun's relationship to be powerful, rob people's daughters, and enslave the people, which is a common thing.
Liu Xi'er is the most face-saving here.
Ever since he saw the Qiao family sister in Lu Kang's mansion, he was captured by that pretty face, and he thought about it day and night, but he couldn't ask for it. In the end, this Liu Xi'er actually thought of a way to have a bad conscience, he picked up the two families surnamed Li and the surname Zhu, that is, the two people who were very close to Qiao Er, and asked them to go to Qiao's house at night to rob Qiao's women, and then go through the hands of human traffickers and turn it upside down.
In this way, Liu Ajiao bought Qiao Manman, and Liu Xi'er continued to pry, came up with ideas and ran errands, and personally helped Liu Ajiao contact Yan Baihu until she got Qiao Jingjing.
Liu Xi'er thought that Qiao Jingjing had been thinking about it for a long time.
At this time, Liu Xi'er ran to Liu Ajiao to ask for someone.
"Miss Eight, it's a long way to Shouchun, and the brothers are really hard! The little one made a cow and a horse for Miss Eight, and he didn't dare to ask Miss Eight to give other rewards, but only asked Miss Eight to reward me. ”
Liu Ajiao's eyes swept over sharply.
She looked down at Liu Xi'er: "Say, which servant girl do you like next to me again?" ”
"Eighth Miss Mingjian! The one who was sent by Yan Baihu last night, and the one who was escorted in the car, has a face like a hibiscus, a graceful fairy, a bewitching figure, and a natural stunner. The little one has never enjoyed such a good-looking woman in his life, so I ask Miss Eight to reward the little ones for the sake of their hard work. ”
Liu Xi'er said that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao drooled.
People with lust, of course, don't care whose girl it is, and how many identities that that family has. He only thought that as long as Liu Qianjin agreed, he would naturally rely on Liu Xun's face to settle everything.
Liu Ajiao pinched her fingers and calculated.
She opened the carriage curtain and looked at Qiao Jingjing in the cage from a distance: "It's not okay to reward you forever, just reward you for a night of merry." Take the big one, play with it, and don't kill me. Keeping her cheap, I have a way to torture her. Thank you. ”
