Chapter 199: The bandits of the makeshift group
"I'll go find her!" Xiao Yan made a quick decision.
"Dad, this--" Daya took the black face towel and handed it to him.
The Fifth Young Master said, "I'll lead the way for you!"
Zhang Heyao said to Sun Shun, "Come with me to find Jin Huaihai!"
The person he was talking about was the eldest lady's brother, the Salt Inspector Jin Huaihai.
Duke Yun did not leave for the time being. After all, these were the only children left at home, and it made people feel uneasy to see them around.
Perhaps because Erya cried so hard, Yun Ting rarely stopped teasing her and kept comforting her.
As for Lu Qiniang, she was walking on the road when suddenly someone covered her mouth and nose from behind.
Lu Qinniang's first reaction at that time was not fear, but excitement?
Because she thought, I have learned some tricks, and now they will come in handy.
But imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel.
Before she could perform her move, everything went black and she passed away.
Before she fell into coma, she wanted to say to Doctor Hu, "This knockout drug is really effective. Do you have it?"
Lu Qiniang didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she didn't know whether she was woken by the cold or by the noise.
She was tied up like pigs were tied up when they were sold at the end of the year and fell to the ground.
There are people talking around.
"This woman is Xiao Yan's wife? Why do I not believe it? Even if you give it to me, I don't want it!"
The aesthetic of thinness as beauty makes Lu Qiniang's healthy figure unpopular.
Her Hu blood is also something that many people at the bottom of society cannot appreciate - if you are different from them, you are called a barbarian.
Many people at the bottom of society live miserable lives themselves, but they seem to find some comfort in excluding outsiders.
"I don't think she looks like her! But I asked around and found out she is Lu Qi Niang."
"Is this right?" The person who spoke first was still struggling.
"This woman is awake now, why don't you just ask her? Why isn't she awake yet? Pour a bucket of cold water on her!"
Just as Lu Qiniang was about to open her eyes to avoid the cold water, she heard someone else stammer, "Well, well, no, no. This, this is cold, cold, cold, cold..."
Lu Qiniang thought to herself, are you shivering from the cold?
You're making me so anxious!
"Cold, weather, life, illness, death, dead people..."
Unexpectedly, the kidnappers were quite particular.
"Wait a little longer, eat, eat, I'm starving."
This sentence probably resonated with everyone, and then Lu Qiniang heard many voices echoing it——
“That’s right!”
She secretly opened her eyes a little and found herself in a dilapidated mountain temple.
There were thirty or forty rough-looking men in ragged clothes gathered in groups of two or three.
Oh my god, she actually alarmed so many people?
Someone was cooking, but judging by the way she was doing it, it looked no different from how she was cooking pig food.
A large pot of water was boiled, and cornmeal and wild vegetables were cooked in one pot. Then each person was given a broken porcelain bowl and squatted down. The rough men talked while slurping the pig food.
Lu Qiniang finally pieced together the "truth" from their mouths.
It turned out that they were a group of bandits.
Oh, it’s a makeshift bandit group.
It sounds like these people include tenant farmers, fishermen, and even soldiers?
It's outrageous.
These people have nothing to do in the winter and can't make ends meet at home, so they go out into the mountains and become bandits.
It sounds like the bandits are quite serious about their lives, thinking of robbing the rich to help the poor, and setting down several rules.
But even if you have a conscience and do business well, you won’t get rich.
Being a bandit requires mortgaging one's conscience.
These people, even though they were bandits, still wanted to put on a good show, so they ended up in a miserable state and could only eat pig food.
Lu Qi's mother felt so disgusted!
——Eat pig food, you can eat it at home with your wife and children! At least there is someone to take care of them.
You guys are so good at eating pig food when you go out, but you get together and brag as if you can fly to the sky. Your wives and children at home are suffering and no one is taking care of them. You are nothing but shit.
After finding out the details of these people, Lu Qiniang was no longer so nervous.
She opened her eyes and even shouted, "No, what are you doing!"
The men were startled by her sudden voice.
Perhaps because Lu Qinniang was too full of energy, they looked at each other in confusion and did not react immediately.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Lu Qiniang couldn't help but ask again: "Didn't you hear me? I told you why you tied me up! Isn't it true that we rob the rich to help the poor, don't bully the poor, and don't rob women? What, do you think I'm rich, or that I'm a man?"
"Wake up, wake up, boss, she's awake."
The bearded man called "Boss" came over with a bowl in his hand. "I was just about to ask you, are you Xiao Yan's wife?"
Coming for Xiao Yan?
She couldn't admit that.
Anyway, she heard it, and these people couldn't be sure at all.
Then she would refuse to admit it.
"What Xiao Yan's wife? Which Xiao Yan?"
"General Po Lu, the one who used to be General Po Lu. Don't lie, or we'll be at loggerheads."
Lu Qiniang immediately looked around.
Miraculously, the bearded man immediately understood what she meant and his face flushed instantly.
Yes, there were thirty or forty of them, but they couldn't find a knife.
Everyone in the family has a kitchen knife, but it has to be registered with the government and must be used at home.
Lu Qiniang: I'm telling you, you idiots who eat pig food, if you had a knife, you wouldn't have just dumped the vegetable into the pot without even cutting it.
The bearded man was so angry that he picked up a brick and said, "I'll smash you to death. Do you believe it?"
"Boss, that's my pillow. You, you put it down--" he stuttered anxiously.
Lu Qiniang: "No, you guys have become so destitute, why are you still a bandit? You are a bandit, you rob the rich, why would you rob a widow like me who is out of work?"
"Are you a widow?" The bearded man returned the brick to the anxious stutterer.
"Who's lying? Are you hoping your man will die?" Lu Qiniang said, "I'm a familiar figure at the dock. Tell me who you're looking for. I'll see if I know him and show you the way. You've really been causing me so much trouble. You don't even know how to be a bandit. I'm the wife of General Po Lu, and you don't say I'm the Empress! Quick, loosen him up, you're strangling me to death."
In fact, she could untie the rope that tied her up by herself.
But isn’t this just pretending?
The bearded man didn't untie the rope for her immediately. Instead, he looked her over and said, "Tell me, are you called Lu Qi Niang?"
"Yes, I will never change my name or surname. I am Lu Qi Niang!"
"That's right."
"What's right?" Lu Qiniang asked.
