Although it was less than a day's drive to the outskirts of Beijing, Madam Liu still sent a dozen servants to go with her, and also reminded the coachman to take the official road.
Seeing Madam Liu holding Su Man's hand and giving her instructions, Liu Luoyi, who was being ignored, looked unwilling.
Clearly, all of this belonged to her before, but Su Man snatched it back.
But it doesn't matter. As long as the mountain god helps her, she can take everything back. At worst, she can just ask the mountain god to cast a spell.
Thinking of this, Liu Luoyi felt much better, and even had the leisure to eat the snacks that Madam Liu brought for Su Man on the way.
Seeing her eating candied fruits and dried fruits all the way, Su Man sneered in her heart.
What Liu Luoyi wanted was a beautiful appearance, but she didn't know that a person's appearance is closely related to himself.
It’s like she envied other people’s luxurious and bright houses, so she secretly exchanged her own dirty and messy little house for them.
But after she moved to the big house, she still threw garbage everywhere, was too lazy to clean up as before, and didn't even know how to mow the garden lawn, so it didn't take long for the big house to become dirty and messy.
Her little house fell into the hands of others and was carefully cared for. Instead, it became bright and clean and looked like a new life.
The house is not important, what is important is the people who live in it.
...
After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the village that Si Xi had mentioned before nightfall.
This place is called Wuyou Village. Although the village is not big, it is surrounded by mountains and water and is picturesque. At this moment, the sun is setting, and the mountains behind it block most of the sunlight, and the entire village is shrouded in it.
When the village chief knew that the daughter of Master Liu was coming, he not only received her personally, but also arranged food and accommodation for Su Man and the servants.
"I've already asked someone to clean up here. Ladies, please check if there's anything wrong."
The village chief was old and his back was hunched. He was wearing a blue winter coat and a red belt around his waist, which made him look very eye-catching.
Liu Luoyi walked into one of the farmhouses with ease and slammed the door without even saying hello.
The village chief was a little embarrassed and kept rubbing his hands.
Su Man took Si Xi's hand and bowed, "Thank you, Village Chief. We are sorry to bother you."
The village chief took two steps back and said, "Miss, please don't bow. Miss, please don't bow. If you don't have any other instructions, I will leave first."
"Thank you, Village Chief."
The village chief had only taken a few steps when he stopped and turned around and said sternly, "The village is close to the mountains. There might be wild animals at night. It's better for you not to go out."
Su Man raised her eyebrows. Beast?
Although wild beasts are ferocious, they rarely enter densely populated villages, let alone the dozen or so servants around her.
Su Man didn't point it out, but smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Village Chief. I will keep it in mind."
The village chief left with satisfaction, but Suman looked at his back thoughtfully.
...
The village chief prepared a three-room farmhouse for them. There were also several large vats in the yard, which seemed to be containing pickles.
Liu Luoyi went into the room on the right and refused to come out, so Su Man lived in the room on the left, and the middle room was given to the maids.
As for the servants, they gathered around the courtyard to guard against anyone who might disturb Su Man.
Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened. Su Man sat at the round table, tapping the table with her index finger.
Just now, Si Xi said that she was going out to find her cousin to come back and reply, but she has been gone for half an hour and still hasn't come back. Could something have happened?
Thinking of the village chief's words not to go out at night, Su Man suddenly had a bad premonition.
Just then, a maid came in and reported that the second young lady was missing.
"Gone?"
Su Man frowned, "Why is he gone?"
The old woman who had lost her master was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stammered, "The Second Young Miss said she was tired at that time, so she only left Cai Huan in the room to serve her. Later, when I went in to bring her some water, I found that the Young Miss was gone."
"What's the situation in that room?" Su Man asked.
"Everything is fine."
“…”
Since she was fine, Liu Luoyi should have gone out on her own instead of being kidnapped.
Su Man had a clue in her mind, but the mother-in-law was so anxious that she couldn't help but ask, "What should I do? Will something happen to the Second Miss? How am I going to explain this to the master when I get back?"
Su Man thought for a moment and said, "Call a few servants to look around. If they can't find it, notify the village chief."
"yes."
The old woman went downstairs in a hurry.
-
"Miss, where are we going?"
In the dark forest, Caihuan held the lantern, looked left and right, and was extremely frightened.
Behind her was Liu Luoyi, holding the hem of her skirt. She looked much calmer than Caihuan and pointed to a weed-covered path. "Go this way."
The winding path led to an unknown direction. Cai Huan was frightened at the sight. "Miss, why don't we come here during the day? It's too dark here to be scary."
"What are you hesitating about? Are you the lady or am I the lady? Hurry and leave."
Caihuan had no choice but to walk in front.
After an unknown amount of time, Caihuan's clothes were torn by the weeds, and Liu Luoyi finally asked her to stop.
Looking at the dilapidated ancestral hall in front of her, Cai Huan swallowed hard, "What kind of place is this?"
Liu Luoyi didn't say anything. She fell to her knees with a plop and shouted, "Luoyi wants to see the mountain god!"
Cai Huan was startled by Liu Luoyi and thought she had lost her mind. However, the next second, a cold wind blew around them, and dead leaves swirled around the ancestral hall, raising a cloud of dust that made it impossible to open one's eyes.
Caihuan was so frightened that she opened her mouth but couldn't even scream.
