When she was released, she was forced to get on a carriage, saying that she was going to live a stable life away from the capital in a remote village.
But this is not what Li Wanqiu wants. She just wants to run back and seek justice for her father.
"Whoa--" The coachman pulled the reins in the horse suddenly, and the whole sedan chair shook violently. Then there was a sound of weapons clashing, which frightened Li Wanqiu.
"Madam, we encountered robbers!" An escorting officer shouted loudly, but his voice fell silent the next second.
Upon hearing this, Madam Li quickly protected Li Wanqiu with her body, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Don't be afraid, mother will protect you."
After all, she was a lady from a wealthy family and had never seen such a scene before. Li Wanqiu was so scared that she curled up into a ball, her eyes full of fear.
The noise outside gradually stopped, and someone lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and without saying a word, plunged the sword into Madam Li's back.
Mrs. Li suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at Li Wanqiu with a sad expression for the last time, and then closed her eyes.
"Mother!" Li Wanqiu's eyes were full of disbelief, and tears immediately filled her eyes.
"Mother, wake up, don't leave me alone!" Li Wanqiu shouted heartbreakingly, but no one answered.
"Brother, this little girl is pretty good-looking. Why don't you bring her back and let the brothers have some fun with her before she dies?"
The robber leader looked Li Wanqiu up and down, and felt that what he said made sense. He waved to the people behind him and said, "Take this little girl with you and follow me."
Li Wanqiu was still immersed in the scene of her mother's murder and couldn't extricate herself. She hugged Mrs. Li's body and cried breathlessly, but someone forcibly pulled them apart.
"Where are you taking me? I won't go. Just kill me!" Li Wanqiu's eyes were full of fear. She struggled to escape, but she was too weak and could only be carried forward by them.
"This is it." The robber leader walked into the depths of the dense forest, turned around and walked towards Li Wanqiu with a wicked smile.
"You are so beautiful. It would be a pity if you died like this. It would be better for you to make the brothers happy before you die. Then your life will not be in vain." The leader of the robbers said, and reached out to pull Li Wanqiu's clothes.
"Get away from me! Don't touch me!" Li Wanqiu shouted, her voice a little hoarse, and she stretched out her hand and slapped the robber leader.
A crisp sound was heard, and after being hit by Li Wanqiu's palm, the robber leader's eyes immediately became fierce.
He punched Li Wanqiu with his backhand, knocking her to the ground.
"You bitch, you dare to hit me? Now I'll let you taste how powerful I am." As he said that, he pressed Li Wanqiu's hand on her head and leaned over to press her.
Li Wanqiu cried and shouted, but it was of no use.
She suddenly felt a tearing pain in her lower body, so painful that she couldn't make any sound.
The robbers on the side were watching this erotic scene with great interest and seemed very satisfied.
Li Wanqiu had been struggling for so long that she had already lost all her strength. Only tears silently flowed down her eyes, and her eyes stared into the distance with a blank and numb look.
After the robber leader had his fill, he winked at his brothers, and the others came up one after another, taking turns humiliating Li Wanqiu.
Li Wanqiu felt that her body was numb. She only wanted these people to end their lives quickly so that she could be free soon.
The robbers finally felt tired, so they dressed and went to gather.
Li Wanqiu was already conscious at this time, but she vaguely heard someone talking.
"Brother, if we complete this mission, won't we get a lot of money? We've made a fortune this time, so we have to go back and claim our reward."
Aren't they just passing robbers? Why would they talk about taking the reward?
Li Wanqiu was smart to begin with. When she heard this, her heart tightened. She immediately pieced together the whole story, and her originally drowsy consciousness suddenly became much clearer.
Li Wanqiu originally thought that she was unlucky and encountered robbers on her way out of Beijing, but it seems that not only was her father's death unjust, but even the tragic deaths of her family members were secretly arranged by someone.
That person clearly promised my father to keep his family safe, but now he has gone back on his word. I'm afraid that he is afraid that they will tell the truth and cause trouble, so he wants to kill them quickly to eliminate the root of the problem.
Thinking of this, Li Wanqiu felt as if thousands of knives were cutting her heart. Her eyes were sore from the pain and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
She hates it.
Li Wanqiu hated those who killed her father, hated the robbers who killed her family and insulted her, and hated herself even more for being a weak woman who had no ability to protect her family or herself.
If she could return to the capital alive, she would find out the truth and make that person pay the price even if it meant risking her life.
She bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from crying out, almost biting it through, and her hands were tightly clutching the corner of her clothes.
"Brother, we've had enough fun, shouldn't we give this little girl to--" One of the younger robbers didn't finish his words and made a gesture of wiping his neck to their leader.
"Well, go ahead." The robber leader understood and nodded to him, signaling him with a wink to do it.
Li Wanqiu heard every word of these words. She immediately released all her strength, held her breath, and waited for their arrival.
The young robber received instructions and trotted forward to check on Li Wanqiu.
He placed his hand under Li Wanqiu's nose, but could not detect her breath. He then felt her pulse, but it was also very weak. He turned to the robber leader and said, "Brother, we killed this woman."
"It seems this rich girl, despite her delicate skin and tender flesh, just can't stand being teased. She died right after we'd even gotten there. How boring! But it's a good thing this way, as it saves us from having to resort to violence." The robber leader gave Li Wanqiu a cold look and continued, "Don't worry about her. Let's go."
Then the robber leader left with his gang.
The footsteps gradually faded away until they could no longer be heard. Only then did Li Wanqiu feel relieved and she began to breathe heavily.
Fortunately, the robbers did not realize that she was pretending to be dead, so she escaped. It was really God who gave her a chance to survive.
Li Wanqiu was still tortured severely. Even if she had a strong will, she would not be able to hold on if she relaxed at this moment.
She only felt that her eyelids were very heavy, as if they were pressed by a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds. Her consciousness gradually became blurred, and then she fainted.
A hunter was passing by here while hunting. He was weighing the rabbit he had just caught in his hand and wondering how to cook it. Suddenly, he saw a half-naked woman lying on the grass in front of him, so he hurried forward to check.
"Girl, girl, wake up." The hunter carefully patted the lying woman.
