Chapter 35
Uncle Ying saw Gu Ran and Pei Liuniang, stroked his chin, and stared at the donkey cart where the Qin family was sitting. He was about to say something when Chen Jieguan shouted from behind, "What are you doing?"
"Sir Chen!" Third Master Qin and Fourth Master Qin saw their savior and turned to Chen Jieguan, breathing a sigh of relief.
I heard that during exile, there will be some criminals with bad tempers who are most likely to bully others by taking advantage of their power.
Fortunately, my father had someone behind the scenes to take care of things for them. If Chen Jieguan saw these people causing trouble for them, he would not turn a blind eye.
"You've come at the perfect time. We, the Qin family, don't know this gentleman, and we don't know what he wants to ask us. Sir Chen, please help us!"
"You are not the prisoners I am guarding. Which team are you from?"
Chen Jieguan looked at Uncle Ying and Aunt Shan, flicked the whip in his hand, and asked coldly.
"Hey, sir, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. We just think these gentlemen look friendly and want to make friends with them." Uncle Ying took advantage of the situation and quickly gave in when he saw the officer coming, saying with a smile on his face.
"Exile is for you to make friends? This is ridiculous. Go back." Chen Jieguan sneered and shouted angrily.
Uncle Ying and Aunt Shan didn't dare to act rashly and retreated timidly. When they returned to their team, they were scolded again by the team leader Jie Guan.
"You bunch of bandits, why don't you change your bad temper even after being caught? You still think you are in a gangster's territory. Open your eyes and see clearly what kind of place you are!"
The officer whipped them twice and spat, "Look carefully, they are officials from the capital. If you offend the people they are supposed to protect, you will suffer the consequences in the future."
Uncle Ying and Aunt Shan, who didn't get any benefits but were taught a lesson instead, returned to the team in anger.
Their minions were also unwilling to accept this.
"Uncle Ying, even if he's a high-ranking official from the capital, so what? He's been exiled, and he still thinks he's so high and mighty!"
"That's right, Uncle Ying, let's..."
"Stop talking." Uncle Ying waved his hand, stroking his chin. "We're all being watched by the police now, so we can't act rashly. If we're caught red-handed again, it won't just be a matter of being whipped."
"So we're just going to call it a day then?"
"Well, we can't move the people the soldiers are protecting right now, but there are other people who can move!"
Uncle Ying said this and glanced at Gu Ran and Pei Liuniang.
The Qin family said that Gu Er Niang’s matter had nothing to do with the Qin family, so would the official from the capital also protect her?
"I told you, Uncle Ying, it's those two bitches! Let's just go and settle the score with them!" Aunt Shan looked at Gu Ran and Pei Liuniang, gritting her teeth, "Uncle Ying, you have to vent my anger for me."
"Don't worry, whoever makes our people suffer, we will make them lose everything." Uncle Ying nodded. "Since he can afford to eat meat, he probably has a lot of money on him. Aunt Shan, please keep a close eye on him from now on. Let's make a plan and then take action."
Aunt Shan nodded, glanced at Gu Ran and Pei Liuniang, and sneered.
This time, she won’t kill them!
Gu Ran noticed the malicious gazes from Aunt Shan and Uncle Ying, and Pei Liuniang naturally noticed it as well.
Unlike them who glanced at him fearlessly, Gu Ran only glanced over secretly when he was not paying attention.
She also secretly heard people in the prisoner queue complaining in low voices. This woman called Shan Yi was originally a bandit woman. She always bullied other prisoners by relying on her brute force. She pretended to be well-behaved under the official's nose. Behind the official's back, she would snatch away the jackets worn by the female prisoners, and would snatch away the delicious food in the hands of the female prisoners. In short, if she saw anything good or liked something, she would grab it.
The female prisoner who was robbed felt it was an honor to be robbed and to be looked up to by her mountain aunt.
Because of this, the female prisoners were full of resentment.
If it was just Aunt Shan alone, they would have joined forces to beat her up and punish her. Unfortunately, Aunt Shan had some accomplices in the bandits who were also arrested and put in jail, and then exiled to the same place as her. The female prisoners did not dare to act rashly.
There were one or two female prisoners who were unaware of the dangers and were kidnapped by the mountain bandits. After they resisted, one of them was severely beaten within a few days, and the other lost her life after being repeatedly bullied by the bandits.
From then on, the female prisoners in the same team as Shan Yi were silent and kept their distance from her. Even when they were bullied, they dared not say a word, enduring the pain in silence and hoping for peace to settle.
This kind of tolerance did not make Shan Yi restrain herself. Instead, it made her think that these female prisoners were easy to bully, and that this exile team was another place where she could act arrogantly, which made her even more arrogant.
Last night, Gu Ran and Pei Liuniang were the first ones who dared to resist Aunt Shan for such a long time. So privately, the female prisoners in Yuzhou admired them, but they also secretly gave them a look to remind them of Aunt Shan's identity and background, and asked them to be careful.
So, those male prisoners surrounding Aunt Shan, who are wearing handcuffs and shackles and look so arrogant, are her bandit accomplices?
Gu Ran was a little worried.
She just wanted to get to the place of exile safely, but she didn't want to cause trouble along the way.
This mountain aunt and her accomplices of the bandits are coming for her and Pei Liuniang, what should they do?
"There are only a dozen of them. If they dare to attack me, I will kill them." Pei Liuniang glanced over there and didn't take them seriously at all.
Just a dozen people?
Gu Ran looked at Pei Liuniang and thought she was bragging, but thinking about how she dealt with Feng Duojin, and how she easily threw Shan Yi, who obviously weighed nearly 200 pounds, out of the prison with just a flick of her wrist, her strength should not be underestimated.
Pei Liuniang's skills are so amazing? Why hasn't she heard of it?
Wasn’t it said that the Zhengzhou Pei family massacre was committed by Pei Liuniang, who hired the most famous thief in the world?
If she has this ability, does she still need to ask for help from a killer?
Gu Ran had to start to suspect that there was something hidden behind the truth of the family massacre.
Pei Liuniang was capable, so she naturally made the matter sound light, but Gu Ran was not good at fighting, so when he knew that he was being targeted by Shan Yi's gang, he was very cautious, fearing that they would cause trouble out of the blue.
Perhaps it was because the officials were watching them closely and were in a hurry every day, or perhaps they could not find an opportunity to deal with them. In short, there was peace for several days.
It was not until half a month later that they arrived at Quzhou, the last city before Minzhou.
It was already March at this time. As they headed south, the climate had been rapidly warming up. The officials would not stop for the next leg of their journey, which would take them to Minzhou. So they took a short break in Quzhou, resting for half an afternoon, and continued their journey the next day.
The prisoners who were brought into the prison in Quzhou Prefecture instantly filled the prison.
As the prisoners had been traveling for days, the officials were particularly kind today and provided hot water for them to bathe.
People like Gu Ran have not washed themselves for nearly three months since New Year's Eve.
Even though the weather is not hot, after months of trekking, from the severe cold to the warm March, a faint sour smell has already been emanating from the body.
Fortunately, the weather is good today, so it doesn’t stink.
But Gu Ran's clothes were so black that their color could not be seen, and his hair was tangled and dry from the snow, rain, frost and wind, not to mention his exhausted face, which was yellow and skinny.
Just as the female prisoners were queuing up to fetch water for bathing, Aunt Shan, who had not made any trouble, walked towards Gu Ran.
At this time, Pei Liuniang had already gone to fetch water to wash. Gu Ran's turn was not yet come, and he was already waiting in a long queue outside the woodshed with a set of thin prisoner clothes distributed by the government.
Seeing Aunt Shan walking towards her, she subconsciously looked around. Some female prisoners who noticed their movements, those who were originally in the row behind Gu Ran, quickly slipped away, while those in the row in front of her squeezed to the front.
Soon, a large space appeared around Gu Ran.
It seems that he can only rely on himself. Gu Ran subconsciously straightened his chest and looked at Aunt Shan. Two countermeasures quickly emerged in his mind when facing the enemy.
To win over? Impossible.
Bandits are never reasonable people, and if she had a choice, she wouldn't want to be sisters with a thief.
Deterrence? Even less likely.
He had nothing on him that could subdue her, but this thief was so big that she could intimidate him with her force alone.
Under normal circumstances, if you can't win them over or intimidate them, you can only find a way to escape.
But she was an exiled prisoner, and she had to stay in the same team with this thief until she reached her destination. Normally, she was escorted by the bailiff, and now she was guarded by the police, so she had no way of escaping.
what to do?
"Gu Er Niang, right?" Aunt Shan looked at the female prisoners around her who didn't dare to provoke her, sneered twice, and looked down at Gu Ran with her hands on her hips.
"Yes, it's me. I wonder what can I do for you, Aunt Shan?" Gu Ran responded with a stiff face.
"I'll fuck your mother."
As Aunt Shan spoke, she reached out and grabbed Gu Ran's hair, then slammed him hard against the doorpost of the woodshed next to her.
Gu Ran thought that it would at least take some effort to talk, but she didn't expect Shan Yi's attack to be so sudden that she was not on guard at all. When she was grabbed and hit by her, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead. Before she could scream, she was hit hard on the back again.
Gu Ran stumbled and fell to the ground.
"I'll make you arrogant and look down on others, you stinky bitch."
Originally, she was an impatient person, but with officials watching her along the way and fearing Pei Liuniang's extraordinary strength, Shan Yi did not dare to act rashly. However, she had never suffered a loss, so she was naturally unwilling to let the matter go. She had been holding it in for a long time. Today, the officials arranged for the female prisoners to take a bath. There was only one guard outside, and Gu Ran was alone without Pei Liuniang, which was just right for her to deal with. So Shan Yi could no longer bear it and took action.
Gu Ran saw Shan Yi stretch out a leg and kick her. She didn't care about the pain, rolled to the side on the ground, and saw that Shan Yi was going to catch up with her, so she crawled up without having time to get up.
"Don't run if you can!"
Gu Ran was kicked and fell to the ground again. He turned around and saw the big foot kicking him again, gritted his teeth.
What should I do if I can’t escape?
