Chapter 71 Huo Qingxiang gets into trouble with her bad mouth and drags Du Wanwan into trouble
Huo Qingxiang was frightened and didn't dare to move. She used her hands and feet to try to pry the man's hand away. When she couldn't, she started crying and shouting, "What are you doing? My grandfather has already paid. Let me go! Let me go! I want to get through."
"It's too late! Someone, take this ignorant woman away."
As soon as the man shouted, several strong men came out of the cave, walked up to Huo Qingxiang, and reached out to pull her.
Some even looked at her with lustful eyes, saying dirty things: "This woman is good, bring her back to give to the boss as a gift, and when he's full, we can get some of the soup, too."
"Hahaha! You're right. There seem to be quite a few stunning ladies among those who came today. How about taking a few more back? The boss hasn't been a groom for a long time."
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's get a few more and bring them back. After the boss has enjoyed them, they will be ours."
"Look around to see if you can find anything suitable. I see so many gray ones here, and there is nothing I like. How can you say she is so beautiful? You have been living alone for so long that even a sow would be beautiful to you."
The person being teased didn't take it seriously. He glanced at Huo Qingxiang and pointed at her: "Isn't this one stunning? Do you dare to say that she is worse than the young lady from the official's family that I brought a few days ago?"
"Don't mention it. That woman is too fragile. The boss didn't even come down all night, and she was tortured to death. It's bad luck."
When Huo Si'en saw his granddaughter had gotten into trouble, he hurried over to beg, "My dear friends, this little kid doesn't know how to behave and has offended you. I have some change here, so I'll give it to you to drink tea and eat fruit to calm you down."
Huo Qingxiang's parents also came and stood aside without saying a word. The captain of the village protection team and a group of people from the village protection team came, all standing beside Huo Sien with serious faces.
These are bandits from the mountains, and no one knows how many of them there are. If a real fight breaks out, it would be difficult to deal with them. This is someone else's territory, so it's best not to act rashly.
If it was just the few people in front of them, they would be able to defeat them without saying anything. If they had rescuers, they would not be able to gain any advantage by confronting them head-on.
If you can avoid it, try not to do it. They are not afraid of killing the bandits because they know they have no backup. Killing these bandits is different. If they have helpers, it will be a piece of cake to kill the people in Huojia Village.
At this moment, everyone looked at Huo Qingxiang with contempt. No one in the village had ever seen her so capable of causing trouble. She even dared to scold bandits. Did she have any brains?
Originally, many people in the village felt that the patriarch's granddaughter was quite good, well-educated, gentle and quiet.
Only after fleeing the famine did they realize that it was all an act, and in reality they were nothing, and they brought shame to the people of Huojia Village.
Don’t think no one knows about the fact that you were turned into a running human sculpture that night and then shamelessly dragged home by the tribe leader.
In fact, everyone in Huojia Village and Dujia Village knew about it, but out of respect for the clan leader, no one gossiped about it.
Today's matter was originally fine and everyone was about to let it go, but she was fearless and insisted on calling people "bandits".
If you have the ability to scold people, you must have the ability to deal with them properly. If you don’t have that ability, why are you so crazy?
"It's over. We won't be trapped here, right?"
"Huo Qingxiang is really troublesome. This is not the way to commit suicide. Not only did we pay the money, but we also have to stay here with her and live in fear."
"She is going to ruin the old patriarch's reputation, and the reputation of our Huo Village is also going to be ruined by her."
"Why don't you just go about your business? Why do you have to care whether someone is a bandit or not? What's wrong with Huo Qingxiang's brain? Is it broken?"
Don't ask why the people in Huojia Village hate Huo Qingxiang so much. Because at this time, only three or four families have really walked out of the cave, and the others are still trapped in the cave and have not walked out at all.
The bandits were very cunning. They collected money and distributed small cloth bags on this side of the cave. When people were leaving the cave, they would take back the small cloth bags and would not let anyone take them away.
To put it bluntly, this is a business that makes a lot of money.
The small cloth bag bought for one or two taels of silver per person can only be used for a distance of several dozen meters in the cave. Once you leave the cave, the small cloth bag is no longer yours.
The bandits placed a basket at the entrance of the cave, and everyone had to throw the cloth bag in their hands into the basket. If anyone dared to take it away, they would be stabbed with a big knife.
When Huo Qingxiang cursed "bandit", it caused dissatisfaction among the bandits. They stopped those who had not left the cave and would not let them leave.
If the problem is not resolved well, the rest of the people in Huo Village will have no chance of leaving the cave.
Every household paid the money but couldn't leave. Who wouldn't scold Huo Qingxiang for talking nonsense and making trouble out of nothing? There was nothing to talk about, so why bother?
Can the bandits let them go easily by just cursing at them? If it were that easy, they would all be willing to curse at them, after all, they would save money, right?
"I can't get over this anger." A bandit with a scar on his face knocked the silver coins out of Huo Sien's hand and said, "Keep the silver! Since the little girl called us bandits, then we are."
As soon as Scar finished speaking, another man with an extra finger on his left hand grinned and said, "Our boss is very busy lately, it would be nice for the little girl to serve him."
Huo Si'en and Huo Qingxiang's parents were both educated people. When they heard this, they felt extremely ashamed.
Huo Qingxiang's mother knelt down and kowtowed to the bandits: "My dear fellows! Please have mercy on me and release my child! She is only fourteen years old, still a little girl. Please! Release her! Release her!"
Huo Sien also knelt down. Even if his granddaughter was not very motivated, he still spoiled her since she was a child. "Good man! Spare this child! She is still young and doesn't understand!"
Huo Qingxiang's father knelt there and begged: "Let my child go! She didn't mean it."
"Wu Xin? We don't care about that." The six-fingered bandit glanced at the kneeling members of the Huo family, "She said we are bandits, so we have to act like bandits. We can't bear this stigma in vain."
"You can take me with you, but you must take Du Wanwan with you. She is as pretty as I am."
Huo Qingxiang knew that she could not escape the bandits' clutches today. She looked viciously at Du Wanwan who was calm and fearless behind her.
She really hated this woman. Seeing that she was about to be taken away by the bandits, she didn't show any fear on her face. What if she was taken away too? Would she be scared?
Huo Qingxiang had a bad life and fell into a bandit's den, losing her clean reputation. Du Wanwan would have to suffer the same fate as her.
"Qingxiang! What nonsense are you talking about?" Huo Sien looked at his granddaughter disappointedly, "How can you be so heartless and ungrateful?"
Huo Qingxiang's parents were also dumbfounded. They didn't expect their daughter to ask someone to take the blame. The person she asked was Du Jia Dalang, the girl who had helped Huojia Village several times.
The captain of the village protection team and the members of the village protection team looked at Huo Qingxiang with extremely angry eyes. They had seen vicious people before, but they had never seen anyone so vicious.
She had brought disaster upon herself by her bad mouth, and now she was dragging Du Dalang into it.
Is Huo Qingxiang out of her mind? Does she know what she is doing? If they keep Du Dalang, maybe they can find a way to rescue her.
If Du Dalang gets involved, who will save her?
