Chapter 68 Li Sanniang escapes
After talking to her daughter, Mrs. Aqiu pushed her daughter to the mountain, then covered her face and walked away without looking back.
Lingling glanced at her mother, and her innocent eyes became inexplicably dark for a moment.
She turned her head and looked towards the mountain, her expression returning to its previous cowardly and innocent look.
"Brother-in-law." she called.
Dashan was stunned. He raised his hand and touched her head, as if he was savoring these two words.
Dashan whispered, "Lingling, women are not allowed to go out in our village, do you know that? If you can escape, never look back."
Lingling nodded heavily.
Dashan asked Lingling to play with Li Jidao first: "No matter what strange noises appear in the house, don't go over to check, okay?"
Dashan's tone was a warning.
Lingling nodded and walked obediently to the side of the 'little fool'.
The 'little fool' must be tired, and sat next to a pretty boy without moving. Lingling also sat over there.
Dashan walked towards Li Sanniang again. At this time, three boys at the entrance of the village hurriedly ran into the village: "Oh no, there are outsiders, there are outsiders."
Dashan put down his hand and walked out of the yard.
Soon, the avenue in front of the gate was filled with people.
An old man who was neatly dressed and looked respectable said sternly, "If they haven't crossed the line, don't act rashly. I heard that the King of Luoyang came to the town, so as not to cause trouble. If they have crossed the line, then there is nothing we can do. There is a way to heaven but they don't want to take it, but insist on coming to us, so we have to deal with it according to the rules."
One child said, "But there are several women there. Are we just going to let them go?"
The old man hesitated and looked at the crowd.
People said: "Who cares if she crosses the line or not? She is a woman, a woman who came to our door for free."
"Mr. Chen, whoever is caught this time will be the one to take the blame. Ah, everyone is looking for a woman to have a baby with, how can we let them go?"
"Yes, whoever catches it gets it."
"If no one goes out together, how can one person catch it? How can it be said that whoever catches it gets it? This is unfair." said a short man.
Some tall people scolded him, "You are just like a little chicken. Are you afraid that you won't get a share?"
"Can you guarantee that you will catch him? Don't end up helping others catch their wives..."
"Yes, we all worked together to catch it, and we all have a share of credit. How do we divide it?"
Li Jidao sat against Song Jie's wooden stake, twitching his lips speechlessly. Why did they start fighting when they haven't figured out the problem yet?
If this guy is caught, won't there be a fight every minute?
As expected, the crowd is like a pile of scattered sand.
"Shut up for now, the person hasn't been caught yet, but you're the first to make trouble." Elder Chen looked at Dashan and said, "You have experience, so you have to organize this matter and preside over it. You have the final say on how to divide the women."
Dashan said, "Whoever wants to go can go with me. Come back and draw lots. I don't want any money. It's fairest to leave it to fate."
"Yes, just draw lots..."
Now everyone agreed.
Dashan brought a big dog out from the next yard and took more than twenty people out.
As soon as they left, Dashan's yard became quiet.
Li Sanniang said to Lingling: "Woo, woo, woo..."
Obviously, this is a good opportunity. All the men in the village are not here. If you want to escape, there is no better time than now.
Lingling thought for a moment, glanced at the "little fool", and seeing that the "little fool" didn't move, she walked over to help Li Sanniang remove the cloth stuffing her mouth.
Lingling was about to say something, but Li Sanniang couldn't wait to say, "Let me go. Don't you want to escape too? Your uncle wants to sell you. Let's go together. I can give you a lot of money. My family is very rich. You will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Lingling hesitated and said, "It's not that I won't let you go, but we can't escape. We need my brother-in-law's help. Even if I let you go, you can't escape..."
"Now they are gone. Your brother-in-law is a fool. He didn't even hire anyone to look after us. Now that he's gone, what are you afraid of? Let's run."
Li Sanniang looked a little crazy. If she didn't run away, it would be too late.
She suddenly said with tears in her eyes: "You look like my sister. You don't want me to end up like your sister, do you? I already have someone I like, and we're getting married soon. He's waiting for me at home, wuwuwu..."
Li Jidao raised his eyebrows secretly.
This Li Sanniang is not only cruel, but also very good at winning people's hearts. She must have heard Miss Abao's story and is trying to gain sympathy here.
Lingling must have been moved by her sister's words. She said solemnly, "I can let you go, but if you are caught, your fate will be even more severe. Don't blame me then."
"I won't be caught, let me go first."
Lingling released Li Sanniang, and her maid was also released. At this time, she rolled her eyes and called Lingling: "Come with me, I won't treat you badly."
"No, I'm going to wait for Brother Dashan to take me out."
Why would Li Sanniang risk it all alone? She begged, "Please, I'm not familiar with this place. If you don't come with me, it would be like saving me in vain. Please come with me."
Lingling was still hesitating, and Li Sanniang said, "I will never forget your kindness to me. After we get out, I will light a longevity lamp for your sister in the temple. I will not let you down later..."
"What about them? Aren't you together?" Lingling pointed at Song Jie and Li Ji.
Song Jie changed into his usual clothes. Li Sanniang had never seen Song Jie up close and did not recognize his identity.
However, Song Jie's clothes were too ordinary to allow her to take the risk of bringing a burden with her.
As for Li Jidao.
Oh!
It would be better to let the fool die here.
"I don't know them. Let's get out first and then find someone to rescue them."
Li Sanniang said again: "That girl is a fool, she can't run, and we can't take her with us, let's go."
After everyone left, Li Jidao stood up, pulled the hand out of Song Jie's mouth, and asked, "You, are you going to run away or not?"
"I don't want to run."
He said he didn't want to, not that he couldn't.
Li Jidao smiled and nodded, "Then let's wait here."
Song Jie said: "Please cover my mouth."
Li Jidao:?
"You don't want to talk to me?"
"I think someone will come back and kill you."
"Oh, it's okay!" Li Jidao was not afraid. It must be someone else who helped Song Jie to take him down. Didn't a few people escape?
"Why didn't you bring guards?" Li Jidao asked slowly. Ever since Li Jidao was old enough to understand, he knew that Chang Sun Zhan and Song Jie were inseparable. His father said that the court had always been worried about Song Jie's family. Chang Sun Zhan usually protected Song Jie. If Song Jie had any rebellious intentions, he would be the first to kill Song Jie.
Why didn't Song Jie bring such a person with him?
"You actually have a lot to say, right? But you can't say it, right?" Song Jie said, "So, you'd better shut my mouth."
