Before losing consciousness, Li Youran vaguely saw a burly woman.
When she woke up again, she was greeted by an unfamiliar environment.
Li Youran was not panicked. She first sorted out her memories and then looked around.
She sat up from the hard bed. The room contained tables and chairs made of wood, covered with animal hides.
The room resembles a cave, but it has many artificial features, with wooden frames and decorations added, showing considerable care.
"You're awake."
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a burly woman walked in.
Li Youran hurriedly took a step back, looking at the woman with a defensive expression, while subtly placing her hand behind her back and gently pressing her fingers against the ring that Tang Lei had given her.
Why did you bring me here by kidnapping?
"Who gave you permission to urinate on my turf?"
"..."
Li Youran was speechless.
The burly woman sat down as she spoke, then raised her legs high on the chair and looked at Li Youran.
"Besides, I didn't protect you from beginning to end."
Li Youran looked at the woman with interest. She was dressed in animal skins, her hair was tied up high on her broad shoulders, and she carried a hunter's outfit on her back. But Li Youran knew that she was definitely not a hunter.
"What is your purpose in imprisoning me here?"
Li Youran walked slowly and deliberately, saying this.
"I advise you to release me as soon as possible. If my family finds out, they will not let you off easily."
Upon hearing Li Youran's words, the burly woman seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and she threw her head back and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha~ Don't worry, no one will find this place."
Li Youran frowned slightly; she didn't understand what those words meant.
Do you know where you are right now?
As the burly woman spoke, she gestured for Li Youran to look towards the door.
Li Youran looked puzzled as she looked towards the door, where she saw that the lights were on outside.
But when she looked up, she froze, then frowned slightly and walked towards the door.
"Where exactly is this?"
"Er Gouzi, go and call the boss here."
When Li Youran saw the woman follow her out, she asked with a puzzled look.
However, the woman did not answer Li Youran's question, but instead gave instructions to Er Gouzi, who was guarding outside the door.
“Tell him that his wife has woken up.”
"Second Miss, I'll go right away!" After receiving the woman's instructions, Er Gouzi ran off.
"You are currently inside a cave, which is our village."
Li Youran learned some information about the village from the woman.
The leader here is named Xu Hu, and the woman is named Xu Erya. The brother and sister are in charge of managing this mountain stronghold.
This mountain stronghold differs from others in that it is located in an extremely secluded location, hidden inside a huge cave. The people in this stronghold rarely venture out; generally, as long as they have enough food stored up, they will not go out.
Li Youran was extremely unlucky; when she and Xiao Hong were using the restroom, they happened to run into Xu Erya, who was out.
Seeing that Li Youran was beautiful, Xu Erya had the idea of capturing her and bringing her to the mountain stronghold to be her brother Xu Hu's wife.
"Where is the woman who was traveling with me?"
Li Youran asked Xu Erya with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, she's fine."
Xu Erya pursed her lips and continued speaking to Li Youran.
"Your maid is incredibly loyal to you. When I drugged you, she almost fought me to the death."
Thinking of this, Xu Erya felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Xu Erya was tall and burly, while Xiao Hong was extremely petite, so when Xiao Hong rushed over, her hand landed squarely on Xiao Hong's chest.
"It's best if nothing happens. If you dare to lay a finger on her, I'll fight you to the death."
After hearing Xu Erya's words, Li Youran frowned and said coldly to Xu Erya.
Just then, a group of men dressed in animal skins rushed in, led by a tall and imposing man.
"Er Ya, what nonsense are you spouting now?"
The man in the lead spoke while glancing at Xu Erya, and continued.
"People, hurry and send them back."
Xu Hu said to Xu Erya with a headache, this younger sister had abducted respectable women from the foot of the mountain for him more than once, but he had sent them back every time.
"Here you are, you can do whatever you want with him."
As Xu Erya spoke, she pointed at Li Youran, then snorted coldly and left.
Li Youran deduced from their conversation that the man was Xu Hu, the leader of the gang.
"Miss..."
Xu Hu stopped abruptly after saying half of his sentence, glancing at Li You.
He intended to say he would send someone back as soon as possible, but he was stunned by Li Youran's beauty.
"My name is Xu Hu. Please apologize to the young lady."
Xu Hu cupped his hands in greeting to Li Youran.
“Girl, don’t be afraid. My sister means no harm. She just wants to find me a marriage partner.”
Li Youran looked at Xu Hu and saw that although he was big and burly, he was very handsome, with two heroic eyebrows, sharp eyes, a high nose bridge and a well-defined face.
