Chapter 41
◎Our host invites Madam Cheng to come sit down◎
He squatted in front of Cheng Mi and looked at her carefully. This Madam Cheng was truly a god-like figure.
The skin is white and tender to the touch, just like tofu, and it looks so beautiful.
Wang San's fingers stroked her face and reached her rosy lips. Just when he was about to put his fingers in, he was suddenly hit on the head.
"You're horny!"
This time, not only Wang San came back, but also his two companions.
"Is the person the master wants something you can mess with?"
Wang San was knocked down by a heavy kick. He regained consciousness dazedly and said, "Cong Xiao! You're looking for death!"
"You're looking for death, why don't you tie them up quickly!"
The three men brought hemp ropes and sacks. They tied Gui'er to the persimmon tree and bound Widow Xu from head to toe. They were more polite to Cheng Mu and only tied her hands behind her back and her feet.
Cong Xiao scolded Wang San, "Be careful! The master wants us to invite this lady Cheng. Please invite her politely and don't ruin the master's business."
Wang San asked, "When will the horses arrive?"
"Matthew is making an eye-catcher, wait till dark."
There were still two hours left. They could only wait.
An hour later, Cheng Xi woke up.
As soon as she woke up, she felt something was wrong. Her original body had been drugged by her eldest sister's people with this drug, which had embarrassed her and she hated it. In Puyang City, Cheng Mu also used this drug to drug Zhou Mao.
When did she get sick? She was terribly sleepy when she was checking the windmill. Before that, when she was out, Guier said she was sleepy. She was just a little sleepy. So she got sick at home?
The medicine wasn't strong enough, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long for them to collapse.
Widow Xu's bowl of potatoes...
Just as he thought of Widow Xu, he heard her cursing in the house. From what she said, he knew she had been tricked and tied up.
How did the villain manage to involve Widow Xu without her knowledge?
Cheng Mu pretended to be still asleep, and soon she heard Gui'er calling her and struggling.
Gui'er ate a lot, so she fell down first and woke up last.
A man walked out of the room and knocked Guier unconscious with a knife.
Widow Xu in the room also fell silent.
"Gecko, give them some more ingredients."
Gui'er, who had fainted, was covered with a special handkerchief for a while.
"Cong Xiao, does this Madam Cheng want some extra ingredients?"
"She's not awake yet?"
"Not awake."
"She has delicate skin and tender flesh, and is weak and powerless. Wait for now. If she wakes up and makes a noise, we can add more ingredients."
Cheng Mu had kept her head down before, but after the people around her left, she opened her eyes and raised her head.
They added more ingredients just because they were afraid that they would quarrel. She was not the noisy type, so she wanted to find out the situation first.
She was still at Widow Xu's house, sitting on a low chair, her clothes still speckled with mud, as if waiting for Widow Xu to come in and wipe them with a handkerchief. Judging by the voices in the room, there were at least three men.
Cheng Mu was not very sure. She followed her intuition and judged that the person who kidnapped them must be related to the horse farm.
Before coming, Yu mentioned that Widow Xu's cousin worked at the horse farm and was here today.
Since she had a premonition that the horse farm would come for her, she wasn't too surprised, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. There's no such thing as a thief who steals for a thousand days, and there's no such thing as a thief who guards against thieves for a thousand days. The sooner you come, the better; the sooner you'll be done with it.
After a long time, the people in the room finished eating and came out to pick their teeth, only to find that she had woken up.
Cheng Mu glanced over and the three of them shuddered, feeling a chill.
Cong Xiao laughed dryly, "This woman is quite impressive. When did she wake up?"
When Yu woke up, she wondered how she could have slept for so long.
After she finished cleaning up, she felt a little sleepy. Thinking that Madam Cheng and Gui'er had gone out and might not be back for a long time, she went to lie on the kang in the east wing, thinking that if Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi woke up, or if there was any movement, she would be the first to notice.
Unexpectedly, after sleeping for such a long time, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi had already woken up and were having a lot of fun playing on and off the kang.
They tore up the last remaining red paper in the house and stuck the torn strips and pieces on Yu's body.
Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi's hands and faces were stained red.
"Oh, my two little ancestors!" Yu pretended to be angry. Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi climbed off the kang and hid with a wicked smile.
Yu tidied herself up and spent a long time cleaning them.
It was already late, and Madam Cheng and Gui'er had not returned yet.
She took the two children and went to Zhao Datian to call for help, "Daddy, please help look after Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi for a while. I'm going to Widow Xu's house."
Yu went to Widow Xu's house and found that all her doors were closed. She called out but no one answered. She went around to the backyard where the greenhouse was, but the door was also closed.
"Where did they all go?"
After Yu finished looking for Widow Xu, she went to the village to look for people, asking every household if they had seen Gui'er.
Finally we went to the hill behind.
It was almost completely dark, and the three people hiding in Widow Xu's house were also very anxious.
Someone has already noticed that Madam Cheng is missing, so why haven't their horses arrived yet?
"You said Madam Cheng is missing?"
On the hill behind the mountain, Qi Song asked Yu incredulously, "When did it happen?"
After listening to Yu's story, he said, "Since we haven't seen each other since we went to Widow Xu's house, let's go to Widow Xu's house first."
Yu looked for her, "There's no one at her house."
Qi Song called Li Yu and Chou Gou, and went to Widow Xu's house with Yu.
As usual, he called out a few times at the door, but it was closed and no one answered. Qi Song said, "Break it down and take a look."
If he had come to Widow Xu's house at the end, there would definitely be clues left.
When I broke the door, I noticed something was wrong. Someone was holding it up.
"Who! Who's in there?"
Stinky Dog came through the back door, "There's someone back there too."
Qi Song: "There's something fishy going on."
Stinky Dog: “I can’t break it open.”
Qi Song pushed it open and walked around the house and the greenhouse, his eyes fixed on the greenhouse.
He was the first to build a greenhouse in this way, and he knew that the roof of a greenhouse could be rolled up and down.
Li Yu's body was lighter, so he gestured to Li Yu to climb up and enter through the roof.
Li Yu was a little scared because he didn't know what was going on inside the house. People are always afraid of the unknown.
Qi Song and Chou Gou were at the front and back doors respectively, each knocking on one door. Suddenly, they heard a "Ah!" and Li Yu fell from the sky and landed in the yard.
"Madam Cheng! Gui'er!"
When he shouted like that, Qi Song knew that everyone was inside, and it was probably not good!
He tried to hit the door again, but there was no one behind him to resist him. The door broke and he fell to the ground.
“Who are you!”
It was dark outside. Someone had kidnapped Madam Cheng. Gui'er was tied to a tree and fell asleep. Li Yu was fighting with someone. A smelly dog was banging on the door behind them.
Cheng Mu calmly told him the information, "Uncle Qi, these people are going to the horse racing field."
"Madam Cheng——" Yu screamed in horror.
Cong Xiao held the knife to Cheng Mu's neck and said to the people blocking the way, "Our master invites Madam Cheng to come sit down for a while."
Qi Song shouted, "This is how your master invites people!"
Cong Xiao's ears moved and he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. They were finally coming.
"Please move aside. If you are not satisfied, let's bleed." He pretended to cut Cheng Mu's neck. Cheng Mu subconsciously dodged, and Qi Song also moved aside at the first opportunity.
Seeing Cong Xiao walking out, Wang San knew it was time to leave, so he hurried into the house to carry Widow Xu.
When he agreed to do this, he made a request that Widow Xu be taken away with him. He knew very well that if he used Widow Xu to harm Madam Cheng, Widow Xu would not be able to stay in Zhaojia Village.
Cong Xiao came out of the house holding Cheng Mu hostage, and several horses also came running.
Before he mounted his horse and rode off, he said to Qi Song, the leader, "Don't worry, everyone. Our master wants Madam Cheng to come sit with him and discuss some matters. He'll send her back safely after the discussion is over! Go!"
With a flick of the whip, the few people quickly went away.
Yu saw it clearly and cried, "He knocked Madam Cheng unconscious, put her in a cloth bag and threw her on the horse's back. Is there anyone who hires people like this?"
Qi Song frowned. The horse ranch let the horses damage the crops yesterday, and today they openly kidnapped people. They simply had no regard for the law.
"Go find Mr. Zhao first."
"Gui'er!" Yu Shi was unable to enter the house just now. She heard several shouts from the yard and didn't know what happened to Gui'er.
Li Yu cut the hemp rope that tied Gui'er and slapped her face several times, but failed to wake her up. So Chou Gou brought a basin of water and poured it on Gui'er.
"You're blind!" Li Yu jumped up angrily. "Just throw it at her, why are you throwing it at me?"
Both of them were soaking wet, but Gui'er still didn't wake up.
Yu tried to pull the people apart, but she couldn't get Gui'er out.
"Auntie, let me do it." Li Yu took Gui'er's arm and carried her on his back.
Yu walked in front with a sullen face.
When Cheng Mu woke up again, she felt like her whole body was falling apart.
Her last memory was before she got on the horse.
Now they were in a small room with only a kang and a tall window. The room was slightly larger than the room where Mu Yun lived in their backyard.
The ropes on her hands and feet had been removed. When she was about to get off the bed to find out what was going on, she found that her shoes and socks were gone.
It turned out that Wang San hurriedly carried Widow Xu onto the horse. When they arrived at the place, he found that she was barefoot, so he took off Cheng Mu's shoes and socks and put them on Widow Xu.
The room was dark, lit only by moonlight filtering through the high windows.
The window is too high, and it is opened only to borrow light. It is very difficult to go out through the window without a table or stool.
The only exit, the door, was indeed locked.
It was still a bit cold at night, so they had to cover themselves with thin blankets at home, and there was not even a mattress in this room.
Cheng Mu sat back on the kang, hugged her knees and pounded it. Without shoes or socks, she couldn't escape far even if she wanted to.
The owner of the horse farm is really going too far.
She swore that this feud would never be forgiven.
Sitting alone in the middle of the night, she had no desire to sleep at all. She pricked up her ears to listen, but there was no movement outside.
The moon in the sky had moved eastward, and although the light in the house was dim, her vision was much clearer after being in darkness for a long time.
Just stand there and wait.
At some point, a sound different from the chirping of insects and the sound of horses' noses finally came.
The high window moved and was completely removed, and a figure came in from outside.
"Sister-in-law?"
As soon as Mu Yun's voice came out, Cheng Mu couldn't help but rush over.
I hugged him tightly, and the tears that I had been wanting to cry but couldn't suddenly overflowed as if they were accumulated.
Mu Yun froze there, his suppressed sobs making his heart feel sore and numb.
Fortunately, he insisted on coming.
When he returned home from Puyang City, he heard about what happened today. Mr. Zhao and the others said it was getting late and they should go back tomorrow to get the person. Mu Yun couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't believe what terrible thing would happen overnight.
Often the most unbearable things happen at night.
He had been to the horse farm once and knew the approximate location. He searched carefully for more than an hour and heard Widow Xu and Wang San arguing outside a room. He finally determined the location where Cheng Mu was imprisoned.
