Chapter 463, Yu Qing

Daohua took a look at the food and then looked away. She was in no mood to eat at the moment. She looked around the room, then tiptoed to the door and listened to the noise outside.

Not hearing any sound, he peeked out through the crack in the door again.

At this moment, it was already dark. The place where she was imprisoned was a courtyard. There was no one guarding the door, but it was locked from the outside.

Looking at the iron chain on the door, Daohua looked back at the house, only then realized that there were no windows in the house at all.

Daohua sat back in the corner with a gloomy face, feeling extremely regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have stayed in the space for two more days before coming out.

"I'm so unlucky!"

Even if she had come out a little earlier or a little later, she could have escaped, but it just happened that she ran into the one-eyed man leading his men back at the right moment.

However, listening to their conversation just now, Yuan Yao and the others should be safe.

"Crack~"

The door was opened again.

It was still the same boy as before. He glanced at the untouched food, put the quilt in his hands on the ground, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

"etc!"

Daohua called out to stop the person.

The young man turned around, looked at Daohua's hands behind her back, and said expressionlessly: "You can't escape. Even if you escape from this yard, you can't escape from this village." After that, he left without looking back.

Hearing the sound of the door being locked outside, Daohua frowned: "Village?" Was she being taken to a mountain village?

Daohua looked at the quilt the boy brought. It was already the end of November and the weather was extremely cold. There was nothing in the room except some miscellaneous items, and it was very cold.

After thinking about it, Daohua walked towards the quilt.

She didn't know if anyone was watching outside the house, so she couldn't enter the space.

It was freezing cold at night and she needed a quilt to keep warm.

Daohua looked at the quilt and found it was still clean, so she folded it in two, using one half as a cushion and the other half as a cover.

"Sniff~"

As soon as Daohua sat down in the quilt, she pulled up the quilt and smelled it carefully.

What a strong smell of rust!

She understood that the quilt was damp and had a musty smell, but why did it smell like rust?

Just when Daohua was full of doubts, footsteps were heard in the yard, followed by the bald man's voice: "Yongwang, is that woman awake?"

The boy who brought rice and quilts to Daohua came out from the next room and nodded: "Wake up! Bald brother, why are you here?"

The bald man casually said, "I just came to take a look." As he spoke, he looked into the room through the crack in the door and saw Daohua lying in the quilt with her eyes closed. He curled his lips and said, "She's quite sensible. Unlike those girls we caught before, they cried and complained about this and that, and in the end they were the ones who suffered."

Yongwang also took a look into the house and nodded. This girl was indeed very smart. She knew that when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

The bald man was silent for a moment and said, "Yongwang, please give her an extra bed and quilt. She's just a little girl, don't let her get cold."

Hearing this, Yongwang looked at the bald man in surprise. After following Master Cao for several years, the bald man is no longer the honest and simple man in Zhaojia Village. His heart has become hardened. What happened today? Did the sun rise from the west?

Even Daohua in the house was extremely surprised. She remembered that the bald man's hands were very dark, and he had chopped her neck so hard that she couldn't turn it flexibly until now.

The bald man felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and he pulled Yongwang aside and whispered, "I just found out that the winter wheat we planted in our fields was developed by this girl's father."

Yongwang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Then why did you still want to arrest her?"

The people of Fenxi are very grateful to Yan Zhigao for promoting high-yield grain varieties.

Thanks to the winter wheat planting, many families who could not survive have survived. Now, most families can save some money, and their lives are much better than before.

The bald man sighed and said, "We didn't intend to catch her. It was just bad luck that she ran into us. Oh, this girl's luck is really bad. She escaped halfway, but in the end we caught her. What can I do?"

"It's useless to say anything now. They've been arrested. We can only eat thanks to her father. There's nothing else we can do. We can only take care of her as much as possible and make her life better."

Yongwang nodded: "I'll go get the quilt."

In the house, Daohua opened her eyes. It turned out that she was already in Fenxi.

"Crack~"

The door opened, and Yongwang came in holding two quilts. Seeing Daohua's eyes open, he glanced at the untouched food and said, "You'd better eat. Don't joke with your body."

Daohua: "Can you let me go?"

Yongwang frowned. "If I let you go, I will die. Also, I told you that even if you escape from the yard, you can't escape from the village. The roads in and out of the village are all guarded."

Daohua took the opportunity to ask again: "What village is this?"

Yongwang was silent for a while: "A village surrounded by mountains." After that, he got up and went out.

After locking the iron lock, Yongwang looked at the people in the room again, his eyes somewhat deep.

It seems that this girl looks like a benefactor!

When there was no sound outside the door, Daohua silently put the sleeping pill in her hand back into the space.

It is not easy to move now. After a whole day of bumping around on horseback, her limbs are almost falling apart. She has to wait until her body recovers before finding a chance to escape.

As soon as Yongwang came out of the room where Daohua was imprisoned, he was called over by the one-eyed man.

Looking at the bald man standing aside with his neck shrunk, Yongwang knew that Master Cao had found out about his visit to Miss Yan.

The one-eyed man looked at the two of them with a relatively calm expression, but he remained silent.

The bald man couldn't hold back his words and couldn't help but say, "Brother, I didn't do anything. I just knew she was Lord Yan's daughter, so I asked Yongwang to give her an extra quilt."

Yongwang nodded immediately.

The one-eyed man sighed and said, "You guys, that girl is not simple. If you come into contact with her, she might take the opportunity to use you to escape."

The bald man said awkwardly, "That's impossible. People have always been in our village but never out."

One-Eye: "It will never go wrong if you are careful. We didn't do our job well this time. Mr. Fan is already very angry. What if we can't even take care of one person?" Mr. Fan will not show mercy to useless people.

Then he looked at Yongwang and said, "I'll let Zhuzi replace you tomorrow. He's suffered losses before, so he won't be careless."

Yongwang nodded.

The bald man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother, let Zhuzi take care of him."

The one-eyed man glanced at the bald man, was silent for a moment, and nodded.

Before he was with him, Baldy was a genuine farmer who attached great importance to food. The girl's father promoted high-yield grain varieties, which was enough for this guy to remember for a lifetime.
