Chapter 462, Caught Again
Worried that the one-eyed man would block her outside, Daohua ate some fruit and took a nap before leaving the space.
At this moment, it was already the next morning.
“Everyone should be gone!”
Daohua looked around and walked carefully out of the forest until she returned to the place where she had separated from Dong Yuanyao and others yesterday, but she didn't meet anyone.
Rice Flower breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the small path that led to nowhere, then looked at the official road, wondering which way to take.
If you take the official road, you can meet people. As long as you meet people, you can ask where she is now, and then find a way to go back. However, if you take the official road, you may also meet the one-eyed man and his group.
Taking the small path is less dangerous, but no one knows when you will be able to get out or where you will go.
Just as Daohua was hesitating, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air suddenly rang out. Then, in her constricted pupils, the bald man and three people appeared in her sight.
Seeing them, Daohua cursed under her breath, turned around and ran towards the mountains.
However, what greeted her were flying arrows.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Several sharp arrows fell in front of Daohua's feet.
"If you dare to run forward again, I guarantee that the next arrow will be shot at you."
The bald man held the arrow and looked at the rice flowers coldly.
Daohua stopped and looked back at the bald man and others with frustration.
The bald man walked over and looked at Daohua with a cold look: "You are really good at hiding. I brought people to look for you for half a day yesterday and couldn't find you. You are a rat!"
Daohua looked at the bald man beside her, then at the three people a few meters away. A few sleeping pills appeared in her hands behind her back. "I'm not the one you want to arrest. Why are you holding on to me?"
The bald man snorted, "You already know our plan, how can we let you go?" Then he waved to the three people behind him, "Come on, tie this little girl up, tie her up tightly, to prevent any more mistakes."
Seeing the other three people coming, Daohua stood still, with the sleeping pill in her hand ready to be thrown as soon as they approached. However, at this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Daohua and the bald man looked over at the same time.
I saw a one-eyed man riding a horse covered in blood, and the other people behind him were also injured.
The bald men's expressions changed drastically, and the moment Daohua saw the one-eyed man, she turned around and ran into the forest.
"Baldy, catch that girl!" the one-eyed man shouted.
The bald man came to his senses and immediately took his men to chase Daohua.
Undoubtedly, Daohua did not run away, but was pulled back by the bald man by his arm.
At this time, the one-eyed man and others also arrived.
"Brother, what happened? Where are the other brothers? Why are only you guys back?" the bald man asked anxiously.
The one-eyed man did not answer, but just looked at the rice flowers with a cold face.
The sight of the rice flower quilt gave me a chill.
The one-eyed man said coldly: "Everyone else is dead!"
The bald man was shocked: "How could it be?!"
The one-eyed man bent down, grabbed Daohua and carried her on his horse.
Daohua screamed and wanted to struggle, but she felt the cold aura emanating from the one-eyed man. She stopped after moving twice. She couldn't be knocked unconscious.
Seeing that Daohua didn't move or call out, the one-eyed man didn't bother to pay attention and said to the bald men, "Hurry up and get on your horses and get out of here first."
Soon, the group rode away on horseback.
On the horse's back, Daohua's internal organs were dislocated. Even though she was in great pain, she didn't dare to make a sound.
Someone died on the one-eyed man's side, and she didn't want to be the target of his anger, so she could only bite her lips tightly and endure it. However, incense pills fell from her hanging hand from time to time.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Daohua became a little confused. The horse's speed suddenly slowed down, and soon she was thrown roughly to the ground.
The intense pain brought Daohua back to her senses. She looked up and found that it was almost dark. At this moment, she was in a valley with dense vegetation.
"After being carried by a horse all day, this little girl is still awake and in good health!"
"That's right. Don't you think about what these young ladies from official families eat every day? They eat all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, unlike you and me who can only eat coarse food."
The one-eyed man looked at the rice flowers lying on the ground, looked coldly at the two men who were talking, and then signaled to the bald man with his eyes.
Seeing this, the bald man nodded and walked quickly towards the rice flowers.
When Daohua saw the bald man walking towards her with a sullen face, her heart tightened. Taking advantage of the cover of night, she hurriedly threw a scented pill on the ground.
"Bang!"
She was hit again from behind. Before she fainted, Daohua wondered if her neck would break after being hit so frequently.
After Daohua fell unconscious, the one-eyed man and his men stopped in front of a mountain wall covered with vines. Without his instructions, the others quickly stepped forward and lifted the vines.
When the vines were lifted, a stone cave several meters wide was revealed.
"Let's go home!"
The stone cave was penetrated. After walking through it for a while, the group came out from the other end.
Looking at the twinkling lights in the distance and the vast fields, even the one-eyed man with a face full of flesh showed a rare smile.
…
"What's going on? I just asked you to tie up two weak ladies, how come you lost manpower?" An angry voice came into Daohua's ears.
Then, there was another voice. She knew the owner of the voice, it was a one-eyed man.
"Master Fan, the four girls we kidnapped this time are all very important. One of them has a secret guard. We were moving very fast, but we were still caught up."
The middle-aged man with a goatee and a gray gown narrowed his eyes and sighed, "The last assassination attempt has made the Jiang family more alert. They even have secret guards around their daughter!"
The one-eyed man blamed himself and said, "Master Fan, it is because of my incompetence that I failed to capture the girls from the Jiang and Chen families and also lost several of my men. Please punish me, Master Fan."
Mr. Fan remained silent for a moment before he spoke: "Please remember this and we will reward or punish you together later!"
The one-eyed man knew that this matter was being handled lightly, and said with gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Fan."
Mr. Fan looked at the rice flowers on the ground and asked, "Whose family do you think this girl is from?"
The one-eyed man asked, "He's from the Ningmen Prefecture's family. Do you want to kill him?"
Old Fan frowned and said, "Let's keep it for now. Although the Ningmen Prefecture governor doesn't have much foundation, he's deeply loved by the people because of his high-yield grain. Maybe he'll be useful in the future. But remember one thing, you must keep a close eye on him. No matter what happens in our village, we can't let anything out."
The one-eyed man nodded: "I understand."
Soon, the two of them left the house.
Daohua didn't dare to wake up immediately. She closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious for a long time before she dared to slowly open her eyes and look around the room.
"Crack~"
Just then the door was opened again. Daohua was startled and raised her head to see a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old walking in with food.
The boy put the rice on the ground, looked at the rice flowers, and then walked out without saying anything.
