Zhou hurriedly followed the tracks left by the flatbed cart and ran after it.
But she was in so much pain from being beaten, how could she run fast?
He hadn't run more than a few steps when he fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
The rain that had just fallen yesterday splashed mud and water all over my face from the mud puddle.
Zhou cried out in utter terror, "Niu Bao, Cui Liu! Don't leave me behind!"
No matter how she called out, not a single person responded!
"...ungrateful wretches, heartless and cruel, may you be struck by lightning! Why aren't you all dead yet? What kind of people are you all..."
Zhou began to curse her son and daughter with the most vicious words.
Cursing her left mouth dry, she was thirsty, but there was no water to drink.
He stumbled and chased after them for two more days, but still couldn't find a single person!
These past two days, Zhou has been begging and groveling like a beggar.
Even beggars have their own territory.
She couldn't even beg for much money; in fact, she would be kicked out for occupying someone else's space.
When they were thirsty, they could only lie on the ground and drink dirty water.
That day, she was beaten and thrown out again.
Zhou suddenly regretted it.
She shouldn't have treated Chi Young-jae like that!
"Yongcai, I was wrong, Mother was wrong... Mother will go back now and live a good life with you..."
Zhou struggled to get up and walk back.
Once he returns to Dahe Village, Chi Yongcai will never abandon her!
Why didn't I think of that a couple of days ago?
But who knew that just as she struggled to her feet, leaning against the wall, and tried to leave the dilapidated temple, she was suddenly stopped by someone.
"What, you've taken over my territory, and you think you can just leave without paying?"
There were seven or eight beggars.
Some are in their fifties or sixties, while others are teenagers.
Although they were all thin and weak, they were all stronger than Zhou, that old woman!
Zhou was terrified and immediately begged for forgiveness: "Gentlemen, I... I didn't know this place was owned. I... I'll leave right now... I have no money, I really have no money..."
When she was cornered, Zhou cried out in terror, "I have no money, I really have no money... I have a granddaughter with a very auspicious birth chart. If you let me go, I'll steal her and give her to you... okay? Consider it a way of thanking you gentlemen!"
"Smack!"
The old beggar who was in the lead immediately slapped Zhou across the face.
"Since you have no money, then repay with your body."
"Payback with sex?"
At first, Zhou did not understand.
Someone kindly explained to her: "It means they scrape off pieces of your flesh, chop up your bones, peel off your skin, and sell it for money."
"Yes, you have no idea how valuable these three things are, but isn't she too old? Will the meat taste good?"
"It's possible, but it'll only cost a little less, enough to settle the debt."
Zhou cried out in terror, kneeling down and pleading, "Please let me go! I beg you, my flesh doesn't taste good! Heroes, please spare me..."
But who would pay attention to her?
When Zhou saw those men pull out knives, she was so frightened that she wet herself and fainted.
...
When I woke up again.
Zhou found himself in a prison cell.
And, sitting not far away, was actually...
"Li Lao Er?"
Zhou sat up and touched herself in alarm.
Thank goodness, I wasn't killed.
But how did she end up in a prison cell?
"You're finally awake."
Li Lao Er stood up with a sinister grin and stepped forward.
Zhou: "What do you want to do?"
What do you think?
"ah--"
Screams echoed continuously from inside the cell.
Meng Sanchun said to the magistrate, "Your Honor, this Zhou woman indirectly caused the death of her husband through her affair, so she deserves her punishment."
Afterwards, Zhou and Li Lao Er will be assigned to the same place during their exile.
What a thoughtful arrangement!
"Of course, I am acting in accordance with the law."
The county magistrate smiled obsequiously.
He knows how to sell something that's good.
Moreover, given Zhou's crimes, he should have been detained.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Meng Sanchun exchanged a few polite words with the county magistrate before leaving Qingyang Town and returning to the Meng family home.
Upon returning home, the bodyguard Ah San immediately appeared.
"Uncle Chun, those two guards have been found, and they're dead."
"Dead?"
Meng Sanchun was truly astonished.
You should know that the skills of the bodyguards around the young master are, if not the best in the world, then almost on par.
But now he's been killed silently?
"Yes, but I don't understand. Since they were able to appear here silently, why didn't they just kidnap Miss Chi Tang?"
Wouldn't kidnapping people directly pose an even greater threat to their master?
Why go through all this trouble?
The goal has not yet been achieved.
Meng Sanchun was also puzzled: "Immediately send a message to the master, and continue to investigate the surrounding area to see which deity has come to this small Qingyang County. Also, send more people to protect the Chi family's area."
“But we don’t have many people left. If we send more people to protect the Chi family, we might not have enough manpower to continue the investigation.”
"Your primary task is to protect Miss Chi Tang; everything else comes second."
"yes."
After the bodyguard disappeared, Meng Sanchun immediately wrote a letter and released a carrier pigeon.
A silent prayer: My lord, I hope everything goes well for you in the capital.
However, for some reason, he always felt that the person who helped Li Lao Er kidnap Chi Tang this time was not that person's man.
But if it weren't for the young master, who else could the Chi family have offended?
