Chapter 281
Anyway, she had no intention of coming to this place again.
It doesn’t matter if there are more enemies or fewer enemies.
Shen Jiao had just walked into the yard and was about to take the horse and leave.
Then I heard a shrill cry filled with despair: "Oh my God! I can't survive! You damned little bastard, how could you run away with the money? How could you run away with the money that saved my life!!!"
Shen Jiao subconsciously looked into the house.
No, they don’t solve it that fast. The sound is quite close, coming from next door.
Shen Jiao thought about it, closed the door, and strolled out to watch the excitement. Such an interesting thing, but she was the only one climbing over the wall. There was not even one curious person in the village. What a fool!
You run away when you see something happening and never come out of your mud house?
After listening for a while, Shen Jiao probably understood.
The husband of the old woman next door was also kidnapped by kidnappers. She finally managed to collect the ransom, but before she could pay it, the money was taken away by her son.
From what I hear, this son is probably not her husband's.
Because she once said, "Your father raised you for so many years in vain, treating you like his own son. You kept calling him 'Dad', but how could you take the money your father used to save his life and run away? You can't live anymore! You can't live anymore!"
You can't live without money.
At this time, someone shouted, "Junsheng's mother, forget it. Even if you give the money, it won't come back. Even if you can pay this month, you can't pay next month. Junsheng is not the kind of child who spends money recklessly. It's better to let him take it than to let it go down the drain."
"There's nothing we can do about the child. You won't listen to my advice," someone else said. "Stop crying! How dare the child come home if he hears you crying like this? Do you really care if he runs around outside? If something really happens, you'll regret it to death."
"Okay, okay..."
There was so much chatter going on that I couldn't tell who was shouting.
Shen Jiao was listening intently, but who knew he would mention her? "It might not be Junsheng. Isn't there a stranger coming to Old Qian's house? What if it's..."
"Why are you foaming at the mouth? I'm a perfectly good person and have never done anything bad. I'm just passing through here and want to stay for the night. Don't put all the blame on me," Shen Jiao asked, jumping onto the wall with her hands on her hips. "Who said that bullshit just now? Come out here and let me see it!"
There was complete silence.
It can't be said to be completely silent. Shen Jiao heard the sounds of running away and doors closing. The courtyard was completely silent. The old woman's crying stopped abruptly. She couldn't breathe and fainted with a bang.
Shen Jiao was also kind-hearted. He circulated his spiritual energy and slapped her on the back. She woke up while coughing.
Shen Jiao asked with concern: "Auntie, are you okay?"
The old lady was surprisingly knowledgeable: "That's spiritual power... You know Kung Fu, lady, please save my old man..."
"It's none of my business," Shen Jiao interrupted her. "I'm just passing by. Besides, I'm weak and alone, who can I beat? Instead of asking me for help, why not ask the person in charge here for help?"
"They don't care. If they did, this wouldn't happen. Lady, please..."
The old woman's accent didn't sound like someone from this village. Tears streamed freely down her wrinkled face. Her skin was dark and she looked miserable.
He raised his hand, which was cracked and red, and tried to grab her.
Shen Jiao dodged immediately: "It's no use begging me."
She had just been released from prison and didn't want to be locked up again for meddling in other people's business.
It's not easy to meet someone as easy to talk to as Xue Shun, who can figure things out without you having to tell him.
Shen Jiao has good luck, but it’s not for this.
"If I meet a real hero who can help you, maybe someone will be willing to take care of this matter."
Shen Jiao jumped over the wall, mounted his horse and ran away.
I was a little worried that I would be targeted by the kidnappers they mentioned, but I didn't see any of them as I walked along. After walking for more than ten miles, I saw the inn that the woman mentioned.
From what she said, it seemed that this inn had some story, so she'd better not go and just keep walking.
But when Shen Jiao arrived, the windows of the inn were all broken. A girl, surrounded by guards, was angrily shouting at a group of tied-up people, "You are a bunch of blind thieves. You have stolen things from me and now you want to poison us. With your two tricks, do you think you are worthy?!"
Shen Jiao saw that she had a gourd on her waist, so she must be a disciple of Jiangnan Xuanhu Hall. This show must be extraordinary.
Shen Jiao was watching from her horse, and she attracted their attention: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
The girl raised her chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Are you going to stay at the hotel? You're lucky. If you had come earlier, you would have ended up in a shady place and would have been made into a meat bun."
"We don't sell that stuff." A man dressed as a shopkeeper interrupted.
"You have no right to speak." The girl glared at him, and a guard stepped forward and kicked her: "Behave yourself and listen to what my lady is saying quietly!"
The girl nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, you have no manners at all and you're lying. If you weren't selling meat buns, what would you be doing with all those corpses?"
The shop owner kept silent and was kicked again: "Speak up, didn't you hear my lady asking?"
"Well, those corpses are for stewing. Steaming buns is too much trouble, and it's not as quick as boiling pork. It's all the same once it's cooked."
This answer is quite satisfying.
The girl was nauseous and said, "Thank goodness I didn't eat anything."
She turned her head to look at Shen Jiao, and said with sympathy, "The kitchen here is definitely not usable. Why don't you come down and we'll give you some water and dry food. You can sleep here for one night and then set off tomorrow. The nearest city is not something we can reach before dark. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person.
Do you know Xuanhu Hall? I am the daughter of the Hall Master. I am here to marry Qi Yuanli, the Lord of Yongcheng."
"From Jiangnan to Yongcheng, I don't think this is the right route."
Shen Jiao just got lost, but she didn't lose her way.
She had clearly gone too far.
"Oh, don't mention it. I ran away from my marriage. That Qi guy is not a good person. I really don't get along with him. I was just about to go to Tongcai Villa and ask Master Xue to borrow someone to escort me back."
Shen Jiao looked around her and saw at least 20 to 30 guards, which meant: Are you short of people?
She said, "This is not enough. That Qi guy wants to take me back. If he succeeds, it will be difficult for me to escape. Besides, my dowry is still in his hands. I have to find a way to get it back. I can't let it go to outsiders for nothing."
Shen Jiao wanted to hear this story. She dismounted and decided to stay overnight before leaving. "Since you're already engaged, aren't you afraid your father and mother will send you back if you run away like this?" "How could that be?" She was shocked, as if she didn't understand why Shen Jiao thought so. "Those are my parents. How could they side with outsiders? Besides, they praised the Qi family to the skies, but when I got there, I saw that wasn't the case at all. I'm afraid they were also deceived. Why would they be angry with me? They're angry at the Qi family for deceiving them, and at Qi Yuanli for being hypocritical."
"That's true."
Seeing that these guards listened to her even on such matters, Shen Jiao knew that her parents must love her very much and gave her the confidence to make decisions for herself, or she must be very capable and could win over these people.
No matter which one it is, this is someone who is not easy to mess with.
Shen Jiao said, "But if you want to go to Tongcai Villa, I'm afraid it might be dangerous."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you know? There's a village over there that's been plagued by kidnappers. Many people have been killed. I was so scared all the way here, afraid that I'd be caught too."
Shen Jiao was not willing to take care of things, nor could she manage them, but it would be okay to talk about it with someone who was capable of doing so.
