Chapter 43: Flower Seller
"Sister-in-law, if you are really tired, just stay here. We are not forcing you to go look for it."
She is the one who causes the most trouble all day long. I was so kind to her before, but now she is so ungrateful!
Zhang Tianfu looked up at the sky and thought this was not a solution.
At this time, Zhang Daniu spoke up: "Sister-in-law, did you really see mother fall off the mountain?"
He stared at Xie Lanqin.
Xie Lanqin felt uneasy when he looked at her, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Then he reacted and said quickly: "Yes, I saw my mother fall down with my own eyes."
"Where did you see it?" asked Zhang Daniu.
Xie Lanqin thought for a moment and then lied, "It was very dark on the mountain at that time, and I was scared, so I don't remember it clearly."
Zhang Daniu continued to ask: "It was so dark, how did you know it was my mother who fell down?"
Xie Lanqin grabbed the edge of her clothes and said, "Because my mother called out, I recognized it based on the sound."
This time Zhang Daniu didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly.
Zhang Lanqin didn't dare to look him in the eye. She lowered her head and cried, "I feel sad that my mother has encountered such a thing, but I am pregnant and will give birth soon. I am also worried that the villagers will not wait for me. I am afraid that there will be no one to help me deliver the baby."
Seeing Xie Lanqin crying like this, Zhang Tianbao felt even sadder.
Zhang Dajun had lost his patience seeing that they kept dragging their feet.
"If you don't go, I'll find it myself!" He said and ran straight into the valley.
Zhang Daniu didn't hesitate and followed closely. "Mom, we will definitely find you!"
At this moment, Zhao Chunhua finally woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes. Her whole body was in so much pain that it felt like her bones were about to fall apart.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to be caught by a tree branch after falling off the cliff and escaped.
She then fell into a coma.
Zhao Chunhua still felt dizzy and tried to move, but found that her hands and feet were tied very tightly and she could not move at all.
Instantly she was fully awake.
Zhao Chunhua looked around and found herself in a woodshed with the doors and windows closed, so she couldn't see what was going on outside.
What is going on?
Zhao Chunhua tried hard to recall and finally remembered something.
She lost consciousness after being pushed down the mountain by Xie Lanqin, and it seemed that someone rescued her from the tree.
At that time, I woke up once in a daze, but soon fainted.
Zhao Chunhua was just thinking when there was a sudden noise outside.
"I was the first to discover this old lady, so I should be the first to receive her! As the saying goes, you should replenish what you lack. I want both her heart and her brain, nothing less!"
"You're not right. You want two things? Then what should we do?"
"Yes, there are thirty or forty people here! If you take the brains and hearts, how are we going to divide the rest?"
"No matter what, since I'm targeting this old lady, I'll give her more!"
The voice seemed firm.
The quarrel outside continued for a while, and finally someone gave in: "Okay, okay, I'll give you my brain and my heart, so stop quarreling!"
"He's already taken two things. It shouldn't be too much for me to just take half an arm, right?"
"I want one too. I want a place too. Her breast meat is the most delicious!"
After saying this, there was another burst of laughter outside.
"Bai Youcai, you are so shameless. Your mind is full of these things?"
"Do you know that she is almost fifty years old? How young can she be? Bai Youcai, you are calculating in the wrong place, right?"
Then there was another burst of laughter.
Zhao Chunhua's face became more and more ugly, and she almost wanted to rush out and teach them a lesson.
Obviously, she fell into the hands of a cannibalistic village. How unlucky!
Thinking of what those people had just said, Zhao Chunhua's heart was boiling with anger, and she immediately struggled to free her bound wrists.
But she quickly came to her senses.
Since it has been mentioned outside that there are thirty or forty people here, it is not a good idea to act rashly.
Looking around, there was almost nothing in the pile of firewood that could be used as a weapon except for a wooden stake in the middle that supported the room.
Moreover, these branches are thin and brittle, breaking at the slightest touch, and are of no use at all.
Then I heard someone outside say, "When are we going to start? I love watching pigs being slaughtered. Now there are no pigs to slaughter, so it's interesting to watch this scene."
The leader responded, "Why are you in such a hurry? This lady is so skinny, she doesn't look tasty. Let's make her fatter first."
Hearing him say this, Zhao Chunhua felt very angry: Does this guy really think of himself as a pig?
Do you have to fatten them up before they're willing to eat?
When I find a suitable weapon, I will teach you a lesson!
Another happy-sounding voice suggested, "In that case, why don't we brothers have some fun?"
Now Zhao Chunhua recognized that this was the man named Bai Youcai who had just spoken.
The people around him laughed at him immediately: "Bai Youcai, are you lusting after love? Aren't there enough women in the ancestral temple next door for you to play with?"
Bai Youcai replied, "Don't mention it. The village chief doesn't allow me to touch those women. He said that I smell too strong and he's afraid that I'll ruin their scent."
"I said, 'Let me play with those little boys.' But the village chief disagreed. He said they couldn't sell them for a good price if they were damaged. He also said the requirements in the city were quite high and they insisted on clean children."
"I finally got an old lady, please let me have some fun with her. I've been looking forward to this for months!"
Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but feel disgusted when she heard the man's obscene words. These dirty guys!
The person outside the door said, "Forget it, just go in. The old lady is still unconscious, it's best to finish before she wakes up."
Bai Youcai said excitedly: "It's good to wake up! What's the point of lying there like a dead fish?"
Zhao Chunhua's heart tightened and she quickly lay back down where she had just been.
At this time, the door of the woodshed was pushed open, Bai Youcai walked in with a smile on his face, and then locked the door again.
He looked at Zhao Chunhua who had her eyes closed, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Hehe, today it's finally my turn to taste the new things!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Chunhua suddenly opened her eyes.
Seeing her wake up, Bai Youcai's eyes lit up, "It's right that you're awake! Old lady, look at me!"
He was about to pounce, but was suddenly kicked away by Zhao Chunhua and hit the corner of the wall.
Before Bai Youcai could react and shout for help, Zhao Chunhua had already pulled out a knife from her waist and stabbed it into his throat.
Blood gushed out of his throat, his body twitched a few times, and soon he died.
Zhao Chunhua pulled out the knife and wiped the blade clean with Bai Youcai's clothes.
She found the knife in a desperate situation, and it really worked.
The people outside didn't know that Bai Youcai was dead, and they were still sticking to the wall to listen to the noise.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no sound. A pockmarked man wondered, "Why is it so quiet in there? Could something have happened to Er Gou?"
Everyone around burst into laughter.
