"It's so annoying! It's such a shame to throw away a perfectly good carriage. Even if you have money, you shouldn't waste such a good thing. Besides, it's so dark that I can't see clearly. You should have let me get off when you said you wanted to go back. Wouldn't it be the same if I just took a nap on the side of the road and waited for you guys?"
"As a woman, I can't stand your tossing and turning like this. I'll just let go and go my separate ways." Yunniang said as she took a few quick steps, stretched out her hand to grab one of Ah Man's feet, and tried to pull the already sleeping Ah Man off the horse.
With a loud "thump", the groom who was riding on horseback with Ah Man kicked Yunniang to the ground, making her scream "Ouch".
"Calm down, you! If you're not afraid of getting into trouble, just keep making trouble." Shopkeeper Wang pulled her up and said, "Go away! Stop talking nonsense! Do you really think I'm willing to hang out with you in the middle of the night? It's you, a bitch, who brought this trouble upon yourself, and you're the one complaining before I even start. What a fucking bad luck!"
Just as Yunniang was about to say something, the groom turned around and glared at her, "If you keep talking too much, I'll chop you into pieces!"
This groom was a wanderer recruited by Prince Yong. Yunniang had always thought that he was a servant in the palace. But now she suddenly realized that something was wrong. How could a servant take Ah Man on a horse while Manager Wang could only walk behind the horse like her?
She secretly groaned in pain, regretting it so much that her intestines almost turned green. She had clearly agreed with Concubine Min that after rescuing Manager Wang, she would get the sleeping pills and kidnap A'man and the others herself.
She also blamed herself. When she went to get the drugs, she had somehow believed Concubine Min's words. She thought that even if she kidnapped the person on her own, she would be caught by Huo Jincheng before she could get the money. It would be safer for them to help her kidnap the person and then ask Huo Jincheng for the ransom after the incident had passed.
Why did she agree to it?
Yunniang felt that something was not right, but since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to take it one step at a time.
Just bear with it for now.
"Auntie, I'm hungry. I want to eat and drink water." Ah Man suddenly shouted.
The man on horseback laughed and said, "You little girl, your aunt is about to take you away and ask your father for money, yet you are still calling me so affectionately."
"I like my aunt, not my father. My father has plenty of money, so what's the big deal about giving some to my aunt? Aunt, I'm hungry." Ah Man continued to shout while patting the horse's belly with his hands and kicking his legs.
When Yunniang heard her say that she liked her, tears almost fell from her eyes. After all, she had watched the young lady grow up. Although she could not accept that she had killed her own mother, the young lady still wanted to rely on her in her heart even in this situation, and was willing to trust her and call her aunt. This made Yunniang very moved and a little regretful.
"Miss..." Yunniang couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Not only was Ah Man hungry, she was hungry too.
"Auntie! Put me down. I want to be with you."
"This girl is probably stupid, but your aunt asked us to capture you, and you just told her what to do?"
Ah Man tilted his head towards the man and said, "I want my aunt, you love me the most. I'm hungry, aunt, aunt!"
"If you make any more noise, I'll knock you out with one blow! Just keep quiet."
"Uncle Laozi, I won't make any more noise. Let me down and stay with my aunt, okay? I won't run away. I'm too young to run. I won't run away. I'll listen to you."
The Jianghu man was annoyed by Ah Man's calling him "Uncle". He guessed that the girl was probably not very smart and thought that she couldn't run far. If she wanted to walk, let her go.
"Go to your aunt." He grabbed Ah Man and threw him to Yun Niang behind the horse's butt.
"Miss!" Yunniang subconsciously rushed forward to pick up Ah Man, and as a result, they both rolled to the ground. Ah Man took the opportunity to pull off the small flower on her head and threw it on the grass.
This small silk flower belongs to Erniu. When Jian Ning sent them to the Taifu Mansion in the morning, she and Erniu exchanged the silk flower in the carriage. She gave her hair beads to Erniu. If mother sees this silk flower, she will definitely recognize it as Erniu's.
Ah Man believed that Jian Ning and her father would come to rescue her. The man on the horse seemed very powerful. Ah Man was caught by him and put on the car. Moreover, he could hear any sound from a long distance just by lying on the ground. Ah Man had heard from Erniu and Sanniu that people with high martial arts skills have sharp ears and can hear even the slightest sound. So after she was woken up by Yunniang, she didn't dare to move.
"Auntie, are you hurt?" Ah Man asked Yun Niang immediately after getting up, and helped her pat the dirt off her body.
"Auntie... I'm fine. Are you okay?" Yunniang patted her back and took her hand, saying, "Let's go. We'll find something to eat when we get to the rest area. Just bear with it for now, okay?"
"Well, I'll listen to Auntie. But where are we going to rest?" Ah Man looked around. "It seems we're outside the city. Where are we?"
"Don't ask any questions." Shopkeeper Wang glanced at her and shouted.
Ah Man snorted. She hated Manager Wang. After she was thrown into the carriage by the guy on horseback, Manager Wang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and she knew nothing.
When she woke up, she was in a wooden box, unable to turn over. She was screaming and carving patterns into the box. She didn't know if she carved anything, as it was pitch black inside and she couldn't see clearly. Later, the shopkeeper Wang covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and when she woke up again, she was in this place.
Ah Man didn't know where this place was, but it was definitely not in the capital. She secretly glanced at Yunniang. She had never understood why her father was always worried that she would be kidnapped by bad people one day, and always taught her how to deal with it. Now she understood a little. It seemed that her father had known that Yunniang was not a good person, but if she was not good, why didn't he drive her away earlier?
Ah Man couldn't figure it out, but she felt that among the three bad guys, Yunniang was nicer to her, so she should be nicer to herself and hate the other two bad guys a little more, so that maybe she would have a chance to escape.
"Auntie." Ah Man shook Yunniang's hand, and with her other hand pointed at the man on the horse, "Why does he ride a horse while we walk? My grandfather didn't like me before, but if there was only one horse, he would definitely let Auntie take me on the horse and he would walk himself. Isn't my grandfather better than him?"
Yunniang was hungry and exhausted. She thought about how she had never suffered such hardships in the Taifu Mansion with the old lady, and she felt even more regretful. She secretly made up her mind: once the storm had passed, they would give Ah Man to her. Then she would ask Huo Jincheng for money and let Ah Man go. She didn't care about her life.
Since Ah Man didn't bear a grudge against her and was willing to call her aunt and be close to her, she couldn't kill her again!
At this time, Yunniang still held on to beautiful fantasies, thinking that Manager Wang and the man did not leave because they wanted to help her avoid Huo Jincheng's pursuit.
After they walked for a while, Ah Man suddenly found that the grass at her feet was tilted here and there. The shape looked very familiar, just like the way Qiu Ge used his snake body to run over the grass slope in front of her mother's house.
Ah Man's heart began to beat fast. Brother Qiu was here, so her mother and father should be nearby, right?
