Chapter 17: Rescued
At this time, on the main road below the mountain, several horses escorted a carriage and slowly drove towards the county seat. In the meantime, a big slender hand lifted the carriage curtain and casually looked at the scenery outside.
Suddenly, a small red thing came into view. It was hung in the thorn bushes by the side of the road, fluttering in the wind.
It was a small tiger head shoe worn by a baby.
He subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped the carriage.
It was Qin Jue, the commander of Qingzhou County, who came down.
He asked his attendant to remove his shoes from the thorns, take them in his hands and examine them carefully, and then his face became a little solemn.
Several of his entourage were confidants who had followed him for many years, and they were all people with some ability, and they also saw something wrong at this time: "My lord, this is not in the village and there is no store in the back, how can this child's shoes appear here?" β
Qin Jue held the shoe in the palm of his hand: "This tiger head shoe is beautifully made, and it is also decorated with pearls the size of rice grains, which are very valuable." I'm afraid that only big families can use it! β
The attendant said, "But most of the children of large families are taken care of by subordinates or nurses.
Even if you accidentally drop your shoes, you will pick them up immediately, how can they fall in such a place. Let the master know that even if you don't die, you will have to peel off your skin!
Moreover, the height of the shoe seems to have been ticked off when the child was held horizontally. β
Qin Jue rubbed the upper of the shoe, and then poked a finger into the shoe, frowning: "There is still residual warmth." It seems that the shoe did not fall for long.
It's not cold on this day, but babies can get typhoid fever without shoes outdoors. What kind of situation will be so hurried that you don't even have time to pick up your child's shoes when they fall off? β
Two words came to everyone's minds: escape? Or run for your life! Either way, it's not a good thing.
Soon someone discovered the trail: "My lord, there is a mountain trail here. β
"Leave one person to guard the vehicles and horses, and the rest of the people will look at the official and have a look!" Qin Jue turned into the mountain road, and the others quickly followed and searched forward.
Fang didn't go far before he picked up another small shoe on the side of the path, which happened to be a pair with the one in Qin Jue's hand.
A few steps away, there was a small thin red cloak with rabbit fur trim.
Now everyone sighed in their hearts, there were indeed people who carried the child into here, and looking at the traces along the way, I was afraid that it was not a good person who held the child.
Qin Jue asked people to pick up the cloak and ordered to chase forward as fast as possible.....
At this time, Tan Laosan threw the child in the grass on the side of the road at random, and scolded in his mouth: "Dead child, how many good things have you eaten, you are so fat, and you are dead." I'm so fucking tired. β
While scolding, he sat under the tree and gasped.
His family is not bad, and he is the youngest son. Xiao Hu loved him and never let him do heavy work when he was at home.
I ran all the way with a fat doll in my arms today, which really tired him.
This can make Jiang Yu angry, and the three most taboo words for women are "black, ugly, and fat", even if she is still a baby! It's okay if this pervert steals her, and he dares to dislike her for being fat.
Where is she fat, do you understand that it is called baby fat! It's really uncultured!
The angry realm lord decided to teach this scum a lesson. It just so happens that the surrounding vegetation is vigorous, and snakes and insects are frequent, which is suitable for some reasonable accidents.
The few wood-based abilities spread, and soon there was a rustling sound in the grass.
Here came three snakes. A bamboo leaf green, a silver krait, a king snake. The first two are poisonous, while the latter is non-toxic.
"Earth Spirit, are you calling us?"
"I'm calling you, but I'm not an Earth Spirit." Jiang Yuqing explained.
This title is used on her, slightly shameful. Because of her wood-based abilities, this isn't the first time she's been mistaken for Mother Earth by animals. β
"But you have the breath of the spirit of the earth." The krait said.
Jiang Yuqing didn't bother with it anymore, and now it was important to escape.
So he consulted with them, "I've been caught by the bad guys now, and I need help, will you help me?" β
"Of course you do, Earth Spirit."
"See the man sitting and sleeping under the tree over there? He's the villain who caught me. β
The snakes nodded their heads in agreement.
"Yinhuan and Wang Jin, go around in front of him, attract his attention, and remember not to bite him. Bamboo leaves, you attack him from behind and give him a bite on the foot. β
The reason for this arrangement is purely because the snake is too venomous. If you give Tan Laosan a bite, it won't be long before Tan San will die.
In her previous life, she hated human traffickers the most. Who would have thought that Reliving himself would become a victim.
Tan Laosan, a scumbag, didn't even let go of such a young child, he was simply mad.
Just let him die like this, it's really too cheap for him. She wants him to live, to live to be judged by the laws of Great Xia! Because she had heard her father say that in the Great Xia Dynasty, those who abducted and trafficked women and children would be punished with death.
The toxicity of bamboo leaf green is much smaller than that of the silver krait, and the amount of venom discharged each time is also small.
When a person is bitten, it does not cause death. Of course, if the treatment is not timely, it will also be partially disabled. Therefore, she let Zhu Yeqing be the main attacker.
It's that people are afraid of death, so she doesn't believe that after being bitten by a poisonous snake, this scum still has the mood and strength to continue to abduct her and run away. But if he is a little more normal, he will go to the doctor as soon as possible, and then she will be safe.
Moreover, she will not be able to eat all the supplies in her spiritual realm for ten lifetimes, so she doesn't have to worry about starving to death at all.
What's more, with her ability, as long as there is no scum on the side, this forest is no different from her backyard.
Neither snakes, insects, rats, ants, nor jackals, tigers, or leopards will hurt her. Even the animals are happy to be driven by it if she wants to.
Most importantly, she has faith in her family. After grandma finds out that she is missing, she will definitely mobilize a large number of people to find her, or even report to the official.
Although this place is a little remote, it is also a road, and if it is a road, someone will walk. It was only a matter of time before the family found her.
Snakes are fast.
Tan Laosan heard a sound from the grass in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw two big snakes with thick wrists stunned and half-cut snake bodies, hissing at him, which scared him so much that his soul was scattered.
He slowly straightened up, and was about to run, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his right calf.
Looking down, a venomous snake with a triangular head and a green body was biting his calf.
In fright, Tan Laosan instinctively raised his leg and kicked and threw the poisonous snake out.
Pull up the trouser legs and see that two deep blood holes are bleeding black blood. As for the other two large snakes, they are nowhere to be found.
Tan Laosan's eyes turned black for a while, and his heart was really unlucky.
He recognized that the poisonous snake that bit it was Zhu Yeqing, although it was not fatal, but it was possible that one was not crippled.
He was still young, and he didn't want to be disabled for the rest of his life. He had to rush to the city as soon as possible to find a doctor to treat his wounds.
As for the rest, I don't care so much.
At the moment of life and death, Tan Laosan's mind was exceptionally sober.
He quickly tore a rag from his clothes and tied it firmly over the wound, which would allow the venom to spread more slowly. He also picked up a stout wooden stick and used it as a walking stick.
After that, he jumped to the place where Jiang Yuqing was lying and squatted down, looked at her condescendingly, and said sideways: "I wanted to sell you to the kiln."
But now that Lao Tzu has been bitten by a snake, he has no strength to take you again. You're here to fend for yourself. As for the jewelry on your body, Lao Tzu is welcome. β
As he spoke, he pulled the collar around her neck.
Jiang Yuqing subconsciously wanted to use her ability to resist, but her original body was too small, and the little ability that she had finally gathered had been used up when she summoned the snake just now, and it would take time to gather strength again.
So, she can't seem to do anything.
She has tender skin and good nourishment, and her small arms and legs are like lotus roots, all flesh.
The bracelets and anklets are worn for a relatively long time, and they are not easy to take, Tan Laosan was in a hurry to go to the county seat to find a doctor, so he was rude and hard.
The edge of the hard bracelet scraped off the skin everywhere she passed, grinding her two little hands and feet bloody, and she cried in pain.
Tan Laosan had severe pain in his calves, and he was afraid that the child's crying would attract passers-by. Hurriedly turned around and limped towards the county with a stick.
Let's say that Qin Xianling and others chased out a few miles along the mountain road, and just turned a small mountain col when they heard the miserable cry of the baby.
The group was stunned for a moment, and then ran quickly in the direction where the cry came from. It didn't take long to see the little baby who was thrown into the grass by Tan San, scarred.
Qin Jue hurriedly stepped forward and wrapped the child in a small cloak and carefully hugged him into his arms. He glanced around, but no one was found, and shouted, "Hurry up, that person is not far ahead." Don't let him run, brute. β
The two entourages immediately flew forward, and it didn't take long for Tan Laosan, who was blue-faced, to come back.
One of them presented the baby collar, bracelet and other ornaments that were searched from Tan San's body and still had blood on it to Qin Jue: "My lord, it's him!" He seemed to have been bitten by a poisonous snake. β
Jiang Yuqing's strategy succeeded.
She was rescued, and it was an acquaintance who saved her, it was Qin County Commander who had a relationship with each other at the beginning. As a result, the tight mind that collapsed was finally loosened.
She's safe.
Because of the red lotus on her forehead, the guards who followed Qin Jue to eat Jiang Yuqing's full moon wine easily recognized her identity. After all, it is difficult for people to forget such a good-looking and special child.
"Oh, this lotus flower...... My heavens, isn't it Jiang Juren's daughter, Master Lu's niece? How did she get here? β
"Have you ever seen the second child of the Lotus Flower?" Qin Jue looked at the child's sluggish little face, and couldn't stop the anger in his heart: "Go back to the city quickly and send the child to the hospital for treatment first." Then send someone to Xijindu to inform the Jiang family to pick up people at the county office.
As for the snake venom on the ground, if he is not dead, he will be taken to the infirmary, and by the way, he will be checked.
In addition, he will send someone to watch him, and immediately escort him back to the yamen for interrogation after being healed! β
dared to commit a crime under his rule, and the object was still such a small baby, and he really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall.
Let's say that Qin Yu's carriage galloped all the way, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw a team of peasant men with hoes or nail rakes on their backs, blocking the road and looking for people everywhere.
The messenger stepped forward and asked, these people were the villagers of Xijindu. Hearing that Jiang Juren's daughter was lost, they all spontaneously came to help find someone.
Qin Jue sent someone to tell them that the child had been found, the thief had also been caught, and someone had been sent to inform the child's family.
and repeatedly assured that the news was true in the name of the county government before sending them back. entered the city and sent two waves of villagers who were also blocking the road to find people. Only then did I get to the hospital.
