Chapter 155: The Veil (2)
She struggled to break free from the rope, only to find that it only added to her own pain. She felt like the rope had worn off her wrist, and the pain continued to irritate her. She tried to scream, but her mouth was gagged with a ball of cloth, and the smell of the cloth made her want to vomit, but she kept holding back, knowing that if she threw it up, it wouldn't be better, and on the contrary, she might choke on her own vomit.
Slowly, she began to calm down. She had been lying on her side on the soft couch in the carriage, but now she had to sit up with great difficulty—her hands were tied behind her back, and she could not exert any strength at all. She leaned her back on the carriage, her face tickled with the hair scattered on her forehead, but she could only endure it now. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't think of any words to vent, and no words could give her anger to vent.
The only thing she could do now was calm down, she told herself.
She gasped through her nostrils, her heartbeat gradually filling up. Her bright eyes examined the carriages with a hint of fear.
She noticed that the carriage was so luxurious, and there was a lot of space in the carriage, a soft one that would allow her to lie down as much as she wanted—to sleep two or three people, if they were the same size as herself. There is also a wooden table, like a wooden table made by a top craftsman, except that all four legs have been cut off, and only a little more than a foot high remains. There was nothing on the wooden table, and on the side of the wooden table were two cushions made of fine fabric. She even noticed that there was a wine pavilion on the carriage, a two-and-a-half-foot high wine pavilion, with a total of ten jars of wine, but not as big as the jars in the tavern, they were three times smaller than those. She felt that the wine inside must be very precious and rare.
Well, now she was sure that the carriage must belong to a very wealthy lord.
Does such a rich man need to kidnap me, she thought to herself, what was their purpose? She suddenly thought of Da Zhuang and Meng Po, what happened to the two of them? She had been in the carriage now, and she didn't know what it was like outside, and the lights were lit in the carriage, and it was already dark outside? No, the candles seemed to be lit all the time, and they didn't seem to have melted a single bit. She didn't have time to dwell on the strange candle right now, she wanted to get out now, or at least know what was going on outside.
The carriage suddenly moved, and then he noticed that the carriage was not moving, but was impacted - someone hit the carriage?
Ding Dong almost collapsed on the bed again.
She wanted to see if anyone was coming in, but she found that she hadn't found the door to the carriage at all.
Then there was a "Grah" in his ear, and then a fresh breeze came in - it was a small window!
She turned her head in surprise and looked at a veiled man. She screamed in horror, her voice seemed to be heard only by herself because her mouth was gagged.
The man with the black veil said, "Bear with me, I'll take you somewhere else." ”
She heard that it was a woman, and from her voice it seemed to be a kind woman. Instinctively, she believed her, and instead of feeling scared, she nodded.
The black-veiled man closed the window, and then Loel noticed the car swaying a little, and then there was a movement above her head. After a louder "Gra" than just now, Luoer raised her head, it turned out that the door was on it!
The veiled man jumped in, light as a cat. She first pulled out a dagger, cut the rope that bound Luo'er's hands and feet, and took out the cloth from her mouth. Luo'er suddenly felt that she was alive again.
Veil said: "Don't ask too much, let me go." ”
"Hmm. Loel nodded, choosing to believe in the mysterious Veiled Man.
The Veiled Man first took her hand and accidentally touched her wound, and Luo'er screamed in pain, and the Veiled Man immediately apologized. Then he hugged Luo'er's waist without delay, Luo'er was caught off guard, and before he could react, he had already been carried out of the carriage by that person.
They didn't have time to stop, and the veiled man continued to hold her and ran away. This is a forest, and there are not many trees in the forest, and the forest is not very large, and the carriage is parked here just enough to be hidden by the trees.
She also noticed a person lying next to the carriage, who must have hit the carriage when he fell, and it was the person who put him down, who was carrying her at a speed. And then she began to wonder - who the hell is this person?
She didn't know how long they had been walking like this, she could only feel the wind whizzing across her face, and then they came to a thatched hut.
The Veiled Man carried her into the thatched hut and lowered her.
Luo'er took a breath and asked, "Who are you?"
The man took off his veil, revealing a stunning face, and Luo Er was stunned.
"My name is Ding Dong. She said, "I just saved you, and now I'm going to save your companions."
"You...... Why did you save me?" asked Luo'er.
"If I don't save you, you'll die!" Ding Dong looked at her with an expression of disbelief, "You take this." ”
Ding Dong gave her a strange whistle, "You take it and go east, there is a mountain there, and there is a tavern at the foot of the mountain, where do you book a room now, this is the money." She gave Lorry a few taels of silver.
Luo'er took it, looking dazed, and said again: "Don't look at anyone on the road, and don't stop." When I got to the place, I booked a room and stayed in the house honestly. I'll go find you. ”
Before she could continue to ask questions, she ran out of the thatched hut like a cat, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lorre stood in the room dumbfounded, with the strange whistle in one hand and the broken silver in the other. Her questions were unanswered, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that the beautiful sister was by no means a bad person, at least she had saved herself and was going to save her companions.
She couldn't help but worry about Da Zhuang and Meng Po, how would she rescue them? Who wanted to kill them? Who kidnapped herself? Is it because of Meng Po?
She walked out of the thatched hut with a lot of questions, and walked east as Dingdong had just said. She noticed that the sun was not yet due south, that is, she had just fainted for a short time. She relaxed a little, because if she was kidnapped at the same time, Da Zhuang might also be in trouble, not for long, she believed that the girl just now still had time to rescue Da Zhuang.
She saw the verdant mountain from afar, and after half an hour she walked to the tavern at the foot of the mountain.
She didn't meet anyone on the way, so she tidied up her clothes and re-combed them by hand.
When she arrived at the tavern, she rented a room with the scraps of silver in her hand. The house is not luxurious, not a good room, but it is very tidy. As soon as she entered, she smelled the scent of lemon, which made her feel a little better, but the scars on her wrists from the hemp rope still hurt. She called Xiao Er to bring Qing Shui, Xiao Er was a slightly chubby middle-aged, not tall, the hair under the hat was slightly curly, and a pair of small eyes had two caterpillar-like eyebrows.
Xiao Er was very kind, and when he noticed that Luo'er was injured, he asked the shopkeeper for a bottle of external medicine and some gauze.
Luo'er thanked him, but he was embarrassed, walked out without saying a word, and closed the door for Luo'er.
Luo'er washed the wound with clean water, and then gently dipped the towel in the water, the pain made her gasp with a "hiss". She opened the medicine bottle that Xiao Er had brought over, it was a small blue and white porcelain medicine bottle, only two inches high. Luo Er poured out the emerald liquid from it and gently rubbed it on the wound, immediately feeling extremely cool and the pain was much lessened.
As soon as she put down the medicine bottle, she heard the sound of "dong dong dong" rushing upstairs. She stood up, walked over to the door, and opened it. Sure enough, just as I thought, the girl who saved me just now walked over with another person in her arms at this moment - it was Meng Po!
Luo'er dodged away, Ding Dong walked in and put Meng Po on the bed. Although Meng Po couldn't move, she watched with her eyes open, her eyes full of gratitude and a trace of indescribable sadness. After Dingdong put her on the bed, he didn't have time to rest, walked out of the door again, and turned around and said: "There is another person, he is more dangerous." If I don't come back at the end of the day, you can rent a car and take her to another place. I can't say where it is, you'll find out when you blow a whistle. With that, she jumped down the stairs in three or two steps, and disappeared again.
Luo'er silently recited her words before leaving: "Whistle... Where's the whistle?" she searched for a long time, finally found it, and then held it tightly in her hand.
Then she turned around and hurried to the bedside, and said to Meng Po, "Mother-in-law, are you okay?"
Meng Po nodded, she should have been able to speak, but now she seems to be reluctant to speak for some reason. Luo'er could see that Meng Po seemed to be a little sad, so she asked, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Po sighed and said, "I didn't expect her to ...... She...... It's still there. As she spoke, she shook her head, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Luo'er didn't understand, but she knew that Meng Po was very sad now, so she didn't continue to ask, but said: "Mother-in-law, that sister was very kind just now, she saved me, then went back to save you, and now she is going back to save Da Zhuang." I don't know if she can come back safely with Da Zhuang. I'm a little worried......"
Meng Po said: "It's okay, she'...... It must be fine. ”
Luo'er felt that Meng Po knew the big sister, but it seemed that Meng Po would become sad because of something, and Luo Er felt that she couldn't ask the question she was most concerned about - who the big sister was. She just asked, "Mother-in-law, do you know who is going to harm us?"
Meng Po shook her head: "They want my wife's life, but I didn't expect my old life to affect you......"
Luo Er stopped her and said, "Mother-in-law, don't say that, I promised Mr. Bai to take good care of you, how can you be the one who affects us?" Mother-in-law, you will be fine, we will definitely be fine." ”
"Thank you... Thank you......" Meng Po thanked weakly, then closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Luo'er had no choice but to let her rest well, sitting at the table by herself, anxiously waiting for Dingdong's return.
