Chapter 316 Entering Funiu Village
"How come?"
Jiang was so frightened that she almost fell down, but fortunately Xu Yongwang was close to her and reached out to hold her.
Xu Qingye's grip suddenly tightened.
"Why is Miss Jiang still here? Where is Tu Shi?"
Cheng Nian'er said hurriedly, "We met them when we were leaving town. Miss Jiang said she wanted to sit in a carriage and talk with her cousin's wife. Their carriage was in front and ours was behind. At that time, the driver of our carriage saw the bandits from a distance and turned the carriage around. Brother Tu Shi also followed the bandits into the mountains. He was the one who asked us to come to the county town to report the news."
After hearing this, Xu Qingye strode out of the yard.
"Wencheng, if I don't make it back tomorrow morning, please go to Tang Mansion and ask for leave from the teacher for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Jiang started crying in panic.
"How could this happen?"
Xu Yongwang also sighed with worry.
"Ah, you said Qingye finally married a good girl..."
"Tang'er has suffered a lot of grievances before. She finally married into our family, and then something like this happened. If she really falls into the hands of bandits..." Jiang was unable to continue.
Xu Yongwang was anxious waiting at home, so he walked out, "I'll go help look for it, more people will help."
Jiang hurriedly called him.
"Wait a minute."
Xu Yongwang stopped and looked back at her.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang sniffed and looked at him seriously.
"This matter cannot be known to outsiders. In the final analysis, it is not Tang'er's fault. A woman's reputation is more important than anything else. You can go there, but don't tell anyone. It is more important to find the person back intact first."
"I know everything, don't worry."
After saying that, he followed the direction Xu Qingye had just left.
Jiang then looked at Cheng Nian'er, who was still standing in the yard holding the bag and looking around the yard from time to time.
"Nian'er, why would your cousin bring you to the county town for no reason? Did your mother ask you to come?"
Cheng Nian'er hurriedly shook her head.
"It wasn't my mother who asked me to come here. My mother wanted to sell me to an old man in his 40s or 50s. I didn't want to, so I ran away from home..." She simply told Jiang about her experience, "If it wasn't for my cousin's wife buying me, I would still be working as a handyman in the dental shop."
Hearing this, Jiang sighed again.
"Tang'er is a kind-hearted girl. It's a blessing for Qingye to marry her. How great it would be if she hadn't encountered bandits? I hope nothing happens to her."
Xu Wencheng hurried forward to comfort her.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is such a smart person, she will definitely not let anything happen to her."
If his eldest brother hadn't told him what to do, he would have gone out with his father and eldest brother to look for someone.
Waiting at home is really torture.
"I hope so." Jiang looked at Cheng Nian'er, "Nian'er, what are your plans for the future? Are you not going home?"
Cheng Nian'er looked at Jiang and then at Xu Wencheng.
"I finally got out of that house and I don't plan to go back. I told my cousin's wife that I will follow her from now on. My indenture contract is still in her hands."
Jiang looked embarrassed.
"With the relationship between our two families, if your mother comes looking for someone, we can't refuse to give it to her."
Deep down, she didn't want Cheng Nian'er to follow Song Yuntang.
Xu Cui is not an easy person to deal with.
If she knew that her daughter was bought by Tang'er to be a maid, she would not only run home and make a big fuss, but she would also probably ask for a huge amount of money and try to suck Tang'er's blood.
After all, Cheng Nian'er is Xu Cui's biological daughter.
If she is soft-hearted and listens to her mother's instigation, it will be a hidden danger in the future.
When Cheng Nian'er heard this, she became a little anxious.
"Second aunt, I really don't want to marry that old man in his forties or fifties. Please be kind enough to take me in. I can do any job and I'm not afraid of hardship."
Jiang sighed again.
"Let's wait until your cousin's wife gets home safely before we discuss this matter. After all, she was the one who bought you from the dental clinic. I'll go find you a room first."
Cheng Nian'er hurriedly followed her.
"Don't worry, aunt. I'll do it myself."
…
While being carried by the bandits to Funiuzhai, Song Yuntang forced himself to stay awake.
I had a bump on the carriage before, and my head still hurts a little. Then I ran in the mountains for so long, my body was actually very tired.
But she was afraid that these bandits would do something to her after she fell asleep, so she didn't dare to sleep.
She didn't know where she was now.
All I knew was that the light inside the sack was getting dimmer and dimmer, until finally I couldn't see anything.
Fortunately, she had already untied the rope on her wrists, but in order not to attract the attention of the bandits, she still pretended to be tied up.
"Uh-huh!"
She began to struggle.
I thought it was getting dark now and I could create conditions to escape.
However, the bandit who was carrying her did not put her down. Instead, he teased her and said, "We are almost there. You are just starting to struggle now. It's too late."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and went into the village, put the person down, and took off the sack that was covering her.
Song Yuntang looked around and saw a bonfire lit at regular intervals. Even in the dark night without any stars or moon, it was bright everywhere.
There were patrolling bandits around, and the stone walls of the courtyard looked indestructible.
"Is this Funiuzhai?" she asked.
If it was Funiu Village, she should be safe now. Xu Qingye had told her before that although Funiu Village was said to be brutal, it was not unforgivable, otherwise Lord Zhu would not have kept them for so many years.
The bandits all looked in her direction, seemingly surprised at the courage of this little girl.
"Yes, this is Funiu Village, aren't you afraid?"
The person who spoke also deliberately made a sudden and scary movement.
The people around him made fun of him.
"Ping An, you don't know how to be gentle with women. You won't be able to find a wife in the future."
The young man named Ping An said hurriedly, "If I can't find it, then I can't find it. Anyway, I will follow the boss for the rest of my life. The boss will definitely make arrangements for me in the future."
Just then, the bandit leader known as "Boss" came in front of everyone.
Zhou Juyuan took out a dagger from his arms, held the dagger in his hand and knocked it while walking towards Song Yuntang. He looked very scary, and Song Yuntang took two steps back in shock.
When the bandits nearby saw this, they all smiled.
I thought this girl was really fearless, but when the boss came, she became scared, didn't she?
"Huang Maodian fell into your hands?" Zhou Juyuan asked coldly.
Song Yuntang's eyes narrowed.
"You arrested me because I reported Huang Maodian?" After thinking about it, she couldn't help but say "Oh", "I see, the reason why Huang Maodian is so rampant is because you are in collusion with him, so now, are you taking revenge on me for him?"
Zhou Juyuan had a protruding forehead.
"You know nothing! Who the hell is Huang Maodian? I don't even need to find someone to seek justice for him."
