Chapter 315 Caught
It was already the afternoon.
It was already dark in the woods, and as it had been cloudy for the past two days, there was some fog in the mountains in the evening. The bandits thought that the two figures had changed direction and ran after them, so they all turned around and chased after them.
Seeing the bandits chasing in the direction of Song Yuntang, Jiang Surao became extremely anxious.
But Song Yuntang had hidden her with great difficulty, and she couldn't hold him back any longer, so she could only pray in her heart that Song Yuntang would not be caught by the bandits.
In addition, she was really out of strength at the moment. Not only was she feeling cold all over, but the injury on her shoulder was also very painful. She huddled on the ground, hugging her arms and began to shiver.
…
Song Yuntang led the bandits away as quickly as possible, and after running about three or four miles in one direction, he was already exhausted.
Fortunately, the terrain in the mountains is complex.
Otherwise, given the disparity in physical strength between men and women, she would not have been able to run so far.
Seeing the bandits approaching her again, Song Yuntang looked around and jumped into the grass that was as high as a person next to the mountain wall. When she jumped in, she found that there was a shallow hole behind the grass, which was just big enough for one person to hide.
She let out a long sigh and leaned against the back wall of the cave to quickly adjust her breathing so that the bandits would not discover her when they approached.
She was so exhausted from the run just now that her legs were shaking and weak. If she hadn't leaned against the mountain wall behind her, she would have had difficulty standing steadily.
I have never run like this in my life before.
She has done her best.
If we are eventually captured by bandits, we will have to think of other ways.
"Where did the people go?"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of bandits was heard not far away outside.
Song Yuntang held his breath.
I also heard someone say, "The person disappeared near here. He must be hiding somewhere. Look carefully for him."
In less than a cup of tea, footsteps were heard approaching her.
"Hey, a clump of grass this tall?"
Song Yuntang grabbed the drug in his hand and became alert.
At this moment, she only felt her heart beating violently.
One of them wanted to move the grass aside, but he heard another person take out a tinder and say, "Just burn it."
Of course Song Yuntang couldn't hide behind the bushes and get burned to death. She knew that the bandits had discovered her, so she pushed aside the bushes and walked out pretending to be calm.
"Don't burn it, I'm here."
"The little girl is quite courageous." The two bandits stepped forward, lifted her chin with an evil smile, "This little beauty is really pretty, the boss is lucky this time."
Song Yuntang wanted to throw the drugs in her hand away, but the other bandits had already discovered her and gathered around her.
Even if she raised the drug in her hand, it would be useless and she would still be caught.
The poison in her hand is her trump card, which cannot be revealed now.
You have to find the right time.
Thinking of this, she quietly hid the drugs back into her sleeve pocket.
"How did you find me?"
The bandits smiled at each other.
"No one knows the mountains around here better than us. We just wanted to play hide-and-seek with you. Do you really think we can't catch you?"
Perhaps because there was a little girl in front of them, these people were not too wary of her.
Just then, the bandit leader came from a distance.
"What about the other one?"
The younger brothers hurriedly said, "Boss, just catch this one."
The bandit leader frowned and said impatiently, "One is enough. Tie her up quickly and carry her back to the village."
"Okay."
The bandit responded with a smile, turned around, took a hemp rope and was about to tie up Song Yuntang.
But she took a step back.
"More than ten of you grown men are looking at a weak woman like me. Are you afraid that I will run away?"
The younger brother thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he looked at the bandit leader.
"Boss, look at this..."
The bandit leader looked in the direction of Song Yuntang.
"If this girl was a worry-free person, she wouldn't have led us around the mountains for nearly half an hour before catching someone. Hurry up and tie him up and follow me back to the village. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for me at home."
"yes."
Seeing that the bandit leader was determined to kidnap him, Song Yuntang did not struggle in vain.
At least these people have no intention of hurting her for now. Besides, the way the bandit leader looked at her just now didn't seem like he wanted to do anything to her.
The bandit tied Song Yuntang's hands together and walked towards the bandit leader holding the other end of the rope, "Boss, this girl is so pretty and delicate. You can't find such a pretty girl in the surrounding area. You are so lucky."
The bandit leader glanced at him quietly, without saying any more words to him, and led everyone directly towards Funiuzhai.
Song Yuntang still wanted to delay time.
But she made a few noises during the trip, and the bandit leader just wouldn't tolerate her. Later, he simply ordered someone to stuff her mouth, put her in a sack, and carry her away.
…
Uncle Qian rode to the county town to report the news, and met Qiuyue and Cheng Nian'er who had just got off the carriage at the city gate.
The driver refused to leave after sending him here.
The two had no choice but to get off the carriage.
"Uncle Qian, why did you come back alone? Where is the young lady?" Qiuyue saw Uncle Qian and hurried forward to ask.
Uncle Qian is the Jiang family's coachman, not a hired driver from outside, so he is naturally more loyal than those hired drivers from outside.
"Miss Song led the young lady away from the bandits and asked me to ride back to report the news. I'm going to the county government office first. Otherwise, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen if I waste time."
After Uncle Qian finished speaking, he kicked his horse's belly and headed towards the county government office.
Seeing someone going to the county government office to report the news, Cheng Nian'er tightened the bag on her shoulders and entered the county city gate. "I'm going to find my cousin. Maybe he can find a way to save my cousin's wife."
Seeing this, Qiuyue looked in the direction of Uncle Qian, and then in the direction of Cheng Nian'er.
"No, I have to find some more people to rescue the young lady." She suddenly thought of the Yang family, "Oh, by the way, the Yang family, if the young master of the Yang family wants to propose to the young lady, they will definitely not sit idly by."
After saying that, he headed towards the Yang family.
Xu Qingye returned home from Tang's house and saw that Song Yuntang had not returned yet. He frowned a little anxiously.
The little girl always keeps her word.
She said she would come back this afternoon, and she would definitely come back.
Jiang also ran over from the backyard.
"Qingye, didn't you say Tang'er would be back this afternoon? It's almost evening now, why hasn't she come back yet? Did something happen on the way?"
Just then, there was an urgent knock on the door outside the yard.
"Cousin, are you home?"
Jiang was stunned. "Why does this voice sound familiar?"
"Why does it look a bit like Nian'er?"
As Xu Wencheng spoke, he trotted to the gate and opened it. When he saw Cheng Nian'er carrying a bag, he looked a little surprised.
"Nian'er, why did you come to the county town?"
Cheng Nian'er's eyes immediately turned red when she saw her relatives. "My cousin brought me here. We encountered bandits on the way back to the county town this afternoon. The carriage that my cousin and Miss Jiang were riding in rushed into the mountains. There were many bandits chasing after their carriage. We don't know what's going on now. Cousin, please find a way to save my cousin."
