Chapter 48 Don't be afraid, I'll take you home
Chunzhi did needlework in the yard for a while, but she was still uneasy and had a chill on her back, as if something bad was going to happen.
She was afraid that Yuzhu would not be able to leave, so she found some incense and candles and prepared to go to the City God Temple to worship and pray for Yuzhu.
Before the last lawsuit with Wu Xin, Chunzhi also went to the City God Temple to worship. Although there were some twists and turns in the court later, it was generally very smooth, so she thought about going there again.
Before leaving, Chunzhi left a note for Huo Qi, saying that she was going to the City God Temple to burn incense.
People usually burn incense and worship Buddha early in the morning. There are not many people in the afternoon. Near dusk, the entire City God Temple is empty and even the temple keeper is nowhere to be found.
Chunzhi lit incense and knelt in front of the statue to pray wholeheartedly, hoping that Yuzhu could leave Linshui Town safely and everything would go well in the future.
After making the wish, Chunzhi inserted the incense into the incense burner.
When she left the City God Temple, it was getting dark. She was anxious to go home and quickened her pace. However, when she walked into an alley, she was stopped by two men who looked like servants.
Chunzhi was startled. "Who are you? Why are you blocking the road?"
The two servants grinned and rubbed their hands together, ready to pounce on her and grab her.
Chunzhi turned around and ran, but was put into a sack and her eyes were plunged into darkness.
Someone hit her hard on the back of the neck and she fell into a coma and lost consciousness.
…
Huo Zheng sent Yuzhu to the ferry and asked someone to deliver the letter to the fake King of Chang'an. When he returned to the tofu workshop, the sun was setting.
Chunzhi was not at home, and Huo Zheng saw the note she left on the table.
I went to the City God Temple to burn incense again.
I told her, "It's better to ask me than to ask God," but she refused to believe it.
Huo Zheng stayed in the house for a while. It was getting darker, so he lit the oil lamp. Chunzhi had not come back yet.
After dark, temples are closed.
Besides, the City God Temple is not too far from Taohua Lane, so Chunzhi should be back before dark.
Thinking this, Huo Zheng picked up a lantern and went out to look for it.
In a place like Linshui Town, there are not many people walking on the streets at night. He asked several people for directions before he found the City God Temple.
The gates of the City God Temple had been closed for a long time and no one was entering or leaving.
Huo Zheng stood in front of the City God Temple for a while, feeling that something was wrong. His handsome face darkened slightly and he blew the bamboo whistle.
Soon, Jiang He flew out from the darkness, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty."
"Chunzhi is missing." Huo Zheng said in a deep voice, "Find out her whereabouts within half an hour."
"yes!"
Jiang He immediately responded and did it.
The prince had stayed in the tofu workshop in Taohua Lane for so many days, and Jiang He already knew that the girl he was going to marry was called Chunzhi.
Huo Zheng walked along several roads from Chenghuang Temple back to Taohua Lane, asking questions along the way and looking for traces.
…
When she woke up again, Chunzhi didn't know where she was.
A hand roamed over her face repeatedly, "Beauty, you are truly a rare beauty..."
The sticky feeling on her face made Chunzhi feel nauseous and want to vomit.
Her hands and feet were tied, and she couldn't get up. She could only huddle back.
The other hand followed again.
Chunzhi bit the opponent's tiger's mouth hard, and blood came out immediately.
Zhou Rong yelled, pulled his hand back, and slapped Chunzhi in the face.
A five-fingerprint instantly appeared on Chunzhi's face.
Zhou Rong cursed, "Bitch! You're lucky that I'm interested in you. Don't refuse my toast and then drink the wine for punishment!"
The slap he gave Chunzhi was so hard that she fell to the ground with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her lips.
The surroundings were brightly lit, and there were many valuable items in the room. The young man in front of him was wearing brocade clothes and had a jade pendant on his waist. He was obviously a wealthy man.
The servants who tied Chunzhi up were standing by.
One of them advised: "Sir, be careful with the wound on your hand."
Another person said, "Sir, it's so hard to get such a beauty, don't break her!"
Zhou Rong shook his hands, pinched Chunzhi's chin, and forced her to look up at him.
This beautiful life is so beautiful.
After being slapped, his little face became red and swollen, and I looked even more pitiful for him.
Zhou Rong gently stroked Chunzhi's swollen cheek with the back of his hand. "My beauty, if you know what's best for you, obey me obediently. You will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. If you don't know what's best for you, don't blame me for being so cruel."
"Get lost!" Chunzhi spat a mouthful of blood foam at him. "My husband knows I've been to the City God Temple. If I'm not back by dark, he'll definitely come looking for me!"
She said this to these people, but more importantly, to herself.
Chunzhi didn't know who these people were or why they kidnapped her, so she could only hope that Huo Qi would come to find her.
She bravely shouted, "My husband is a skilled warrior. You'd better let me go quickly, otherwise, when he finds us, you'll all be in trouble!"
"No matter how powerful your husband is, he won't be able to find this place in a short time. After I enjoy you, even if he finds you, he won't want you anymore." Zhou Rong said with a smile: "So you'd better obey him obediently and don't make things difficult for yourself."
Chunzhi opened her mouth and tried to bite him.
Zhou Rong pinched her cheek and said, "You like biting people so much, don't you? I'll let you bite as much as you want later. Someone, come and get the medicine."
When Chunzhi heard him ask someone to get the medicine, she immediately began to struggle desperately, but she couldn't break free. Zhou Rong held her down, stuffed the red pill into her mouth, and forced her to swallow it.
"Do you know what this is?" Zhou Rong looked at Chunzhi, who struggled but couldn't escape from his palm, and laughed: "This is called the Love Pill. After taking it, even a strong woman will become a slut. You may not want me to touch you now, but you will beg me to touch you later! Hahahahahahahahahaha..."
Chunzhi wanted to vomit but couldn't, "Get out of here!"
Not only did Zhou Rong not roll away, he also untied the hemp rope tied around Chunzhi.
Chunzhi stood up and was about to run, but was stopped by several servants.
"Run! Just run, I want to see how far you can go!" Zhou Rong walked forward with a smile and tore Chunzhi's sleeve.
The creamy skin was exposed.
The effects of the medicine on Chunzhi gradually took effect, and she began to feel weak and hot all over...
She tried her best to dodge here and there, but Zhou Rong tore her clothes off again and again, and she was suddenly pushed to the ground.
Zhou Rong ignored the presence of a group of servants and laughed as he touched Chunzhi all over.
Chunzhi was almost in despair. She gritted her teeth, pulled out the silver hairpin on her head, and stabbed it into the man's chest...
The blood gushed out all of a sudden.
Zhou Rong pulled out the silver hairpin and sneered: "Do you think that just this hairpin can take my life? I must sleep with you tonight——"
Before he could finish his words, the door that had been tightly closed was kicked open.
Huo Zheng came over on the moon, striding forward, picked up Zhou Rong, and sent him flying with a palm strike. Then he took off his outer robe and wrapped Chunzhi tightly.
Chunzhi was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. The moment she saw the man, tears welled up in her eyes, "Huo Qi..."
"Don't be afraid." Huo Zheng pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. "I'll take you home."
