Outside the cave, the two old women looked at Su Hua standing still on the window paper. They raised their voices again, "Miss, if you don't know how to put on these clothes, let us old women come in and help you. If we delay any longer, our chieftain might get impatient..."
Su Hua's brow twitched slightly as she turned her back to the cave to change her clothes, muttering to herself as she did so.
"Why are your dresses so complicated? The sleeves alone are layered, and there are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, silver sequins sewn on the dress. It's too much trouble to put on and take off."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Granny Ma's cheerful voice coming from outside the cave, "This is a dress that our chief specially prepared for the girl. He said that she should wear red on her wedding night. Most young girls don't even get this treatment!"
"It's alright if you don't know how to undress, young lady. Our chieftain is more than capable at taking off his clothes, and he's probably quite skilled at dressing you too. You don't need to worry about that at all."
Su Hua: "…………"
I don't know if this person is genuinely tight-lipped or if their head is just full of paint.
Of the eight sentences, seven and a half are about colors.
The remaining half of the sentence is also a half of water mixed with colored dregs.
Having lived two lives, entering this bandit's den is like having my buttocks cut with a small knife—it's an eye-opener.
However, she had never seen who this Black Wind Stronghold leader was.
Su Hua thought for a moment, then gathered the remaining medicinal powder and poisonous mushroom powder in her space together, and took a small knife and a long hoe and placed them next to the medicinal powder.
Everything he had on him was taken away: an empty bamboo tube, a bottle of medicine powder given to him by Elder Xue, a money bag containing some loose silver that he usually used for cover.
Whether it was because the bamboo tube and porcelain bottle had been taken away, or because the Black Wind Stronghold was heavily guarded, Scarface and his group lowered their guard against her after entering the mountain. After bringing her to the cave, they immediately untied the ropes.
After preparing the medicinal powder and the knife and hoe for self-defense, Su Hua moved the bath tub aside and opened the cave door.
When Granny Niu and Granny Ma saw her dawdling for so long, they were about to complain when they looked up and were both stunned, their mouths agape.
A young girl stood in the center of the cave entrance, dressed in a flowing, fiery red dress. Her waist was slender and her figure graceful.
Her slender swan neck had delicate, fair skin without a single wrinkle. Above that, on her small, palm-sized face, she had willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, cherry lips, porcelain-white skin, and her cheeks were flushed with a light blush from the moisture.
It's like a ripe peach in the height of summer.
Her eyelids fluttered slightly, and her thick, fan-like eyelashes instantly parted, revealing a pair of clear, bright eyes.
She was clearly aloof and cold person, but under the dim candlelight and the glow of her fiery red dress, she appeared naturally charming.
It even made the simple and crude cave look much more beautiful.
Granny Ma and Granny Niu stared blankly for a long time before finally snapping out of their daze.
"Oh my, that's why we say the young lady is so lucky. With her face and figure, she is clearly a masterpiece of nature. Our chieftain will surely be delighted to see her."
"This young lady is so beautiful. If she serves our chief well tonight, she will definitely be the first in Black Wind Stronghold in the future!"
"As the old saying goes, 'Don't forget the well-digger when you drink the water.' We old women have treated the girl well. When she lives a life of luxury in the village, wearing gold and silver and eating shark fin and bird's nest, she mustn't forget us two old women..."
Upon hearing this, Su Hua couldn't help but glance at Granny Ma with some curiosity. "A life of luxury with gold and silver? Granny Ma, are you kidding me? There's no village or shop in the middle of the mountains, not even a bird in sight. Where would you find such a life of luxury with gold and silver, shark fin and bird's nest?"
“Young lady, you don’t know this. Although Daheishan is remote, our village doesn’t rely on the mountain for its livelihood. So what does it matter if it’s remote or not!” Granny Ma smiled smugly, and even her previously hunched back straightened up considerably.
“Our chieftain is unmatched in martial arts. Once he goes down the mountain, he can bring back enough gold and silver treasures to feed our entire village for several years.”
Not to mention fish and meat, even the delicacies that wealthy families eat can be enjoyed in our village from time to time.
The village chief was generous, especially towards the people he loved. He would not only dote on them, but also spoil them rotten.
If it weren't for my advanced age and the chieftain's disdain for me, I would want to serve him in his room day and night...
"Alright, you old hag, you're always thinking nonsense!" Granny Niu glared at her, her usually stern face now showing a rare hint of ingratiation. "I'll say it again, as long as the girl is obedient and stays peacefully in the village, her life will definitely be no worse than it was down the mountain."
Su Hua nodded obediently.
This chieftain is a skilled martial artist; I wonder if Elder Xue's medicinal powder will work on him.
Furthermore, if he also possesses mind control abilities like Scarface, then things will become quite troublesome.
Emerging from the cave, Su Hua followed Granny Niu and Granny Ma through a narrow mountain path and around a long corridor. There, she heard the singing and dancing sounds she had heard in the cave growing louder. Following the sound, she saw a row of wooden houses of varying heights standing not far away.
In the open space in front of the wooden house, clusters of bonfires were burning.
Over the campfire, a row of ten whole roasted lambs sizzled and dripped with oil.
Around the campfire, there were several rings of people, most of them tall and strong, wearing short jackets that exposed their arms, and their faces and foreheads were painted with color.
Three or four men were playing music, holding instruments such as hand drums, flutes, and bili (a type of reed pipe).
In the very center of the crowd, a dozen or so scantily clad women were swaying their hips wildly to the beat of drums and music, and cheers would erupt from the crowd every now and then as their movements changed.
