In an instant, the arrows that were originally aimed at Mo Qianshang were now aimed at Liu Dashan and the bandits in front of him, which frightened Liu Dashan into screaming.
"Don't fire the arrows! Capture this bitch alive, capture her alive!"
On the surface, it seemed like he was trying to save Mo Qianshang's life, but in reality, he really wanted to save his own. The bandits weren't stupid; they understood the deeper meaning in his words, and some of them actually put away their bows and arrows.
Seeing their reaction, Mo Qianshang's heart skipped a beat. She realized she had misjudged the situation and hadn't expected these bandits to care so much about Liu Dashan's words.
Or rather, it was Liu Dashan's fate.
It seems there must be some deal between them that could jeopardize the bandits themselves. If it's not resolved, these bandits will likely continue to protect Liu Dashan.
She could easily protect herself, but there were still villagers in the village, and the bandits were all menacing and had seen bloodshed. She was worried that the bandits would use the villagers as a threat.
So Mo Qianshang deliberately created an opening, and while rushing towards Liu Dashan, she reached out to attack him, exposing her arm among the bandits.
The bandits reacted quickly; almost without thinking, they raised their bows and arrows high and hurled them at Mo Qianshang's arm.
She quickly and hastily withdrew her hand, successfully avoiding the arrow attack, but her whole body uncontrollably fell towards the direction of several bandits, who immediately subdued her.
Liu Dashan seemed completely taken aback that Mo Qianshang had been captured so easily. He stood there stunned for a few moments, then came to his senses and burst into wild laughter with his hands on his hips.
"You stinking old hag, you think you're so tough? You still ended up in my hands! Lock her up in that dark dungeon, I'm going to teach her a lesson!"
Ideally, Mo Qianshang should realize that he is now the king and should be more obedient and serve him properly.
He doesn't like roses with thorns, especially one as deadly as Mo Qianshang!
Actually, to be honest, he didn't necessarily have to have Mo Qianshang. There was another village beauty named Liu Xiaolan, who was incredibly beautiful and alluring, and he had been eyeing her for a long time.
Unfortunately, the other party's name differs from his own daughter's by only one character. If he were to make a move against Liu Xiaolan, rumors about him would surely spread like wildfire throughout the village.
He's a scoundrel, but he hasn't gone so far as to insult his daughter.
And as he spent more and more time with Mo Qianshang these days, he discovered that Mo Qianshang, compared to Liu Xiaolan who had a foxy air, had a much more aloof and elegant temperament.
It was like a rare and precious flower on a high mountain, something that made his heart itch with desire!
Mo Qianshang quickly noticed the filthy, disgusting gazes. She forcibly suppressed the urge to rush up and hit them, and let the bandits push and shove her away.
Perhaps still somewhat wary of Mo Qianshang, the bandits who captured her did not dare to treat her too badly, only locking her in the dark dungeon and not tormenting her any further.
Looking around, apart from some relatively robust villagers, Mo Qianshang found no trace of the bandits. It seemed that all the bandits had been brought under Liu Dashan's control.
The methods Liu Dashan used were mostly equally threatening to everyone...
Thinking it over, Mo Qianshang got up and looked around the cell, trying to find some clues in the corners.
Surprisingly, she actually found some clues.
The cell she was in may have belonged to a rather volatile person in the past. There were many shards of porcelain bowls around the bed made of withered straw, clearly indicating that the person was dissatisfied with the food in the dark prison and had smashed them.
After glancing at the amount of food scattered on the ground, Mo Qianchang secretly figured it probably wasn't a whole bowl, and that person must have eaten some of it.
You might find the taste unpleasant, or...
There was something wrong with the food!
The moment this thought crossed her mind, Mo Qianchang felt her mind become clear.
The best way for Liu Dashan to easily control dozens of bandits is to poison their food.
Having lived in the wild for a long time, she can still detect the smell of common poisonous plants.
In addition, when Xiao Yaoshi came to teach Qin Qingyu to identify medicinal herbs recently, she often sat beside her and listened to some of what she heard.
Xiao Yao's teaching method was very different. While most people started with ordinary herbal medicine, she started with some poisonous plants.
In her words, the children are just beginning their medical studies and are easily tempted to pick poisonous plants. Since both sides are things that must be recognized, why not adjust the order of identification to prevent the children from suffering additional harm?
That makes sense, especially since Liu Xiaoyun and Qin Qingyu are both upright and kind-hearted. Even if they were given poisonous herbs first, they wouldn't use them to harm people.
Mo Qianshang was certain of this, so she tacitly allowed Xiao Yao to teach them about poisonous herbs first.
Smelling the strange yet familiar smell of the remaining rice, Mo Qianshang's lips curled into a faint sneer.
She has encountered the same poisonous plant twice recently.
After rummaging through the leftovers a few more times, Mo Qianshang found fragments of the poisonous plant known as the fake coffin. Liu Dashan's work was indeed quite crude.
While staring at the fake coffin, something flashed through Mo Qianshang's mind and she quickly grasped it.
Liu Dashan must have accomplices. In fact, his accomplice is very likely Liu Shouyi, who had just suffered a loss at his hands!
Based on the information she found from the original owner's memories, Liu Dashan extremely disliked Xiao Yao mentioning medical skills in front of her, as it made him feel very ashamed.
He would also recall the rumors circulating in the village about Xiao Yaoshi cheating on him, so it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Yaoshi to explain the herbs to Liu Dashan.
Unfortunately, Liu Shouyi recognized this poisonous herb and almost used it to poison Zhu Shi, making it hard for Mo Qianshang not to suspect that the two of them were in cahoots to harm the people in the village.
If she guessed correctly, the two men must have lied to the bandits, saying that the poisonous herb was deadly and that they had to obey them to get the antidote on time.
The fake coffin will have a strong reaction after being eaten for half a day. If too much is eaten, it may even cause a state of apparent death, which will surely frighten the bandits.
Having figured out the reason, Mo Qianshang decided not to stay any longer. However, in order not to attract attention, she patiently hid in a corner of the cell, pretending to be inconspicuous.
As expected, no one disturbed her for most of the night, which also meant that Mo Qianshang had been hungry for a long time. It seemed that the other party was determined to torture and defeat her.
Unfortunately, no one could have imagined that Mo Qianshang had a cheat code.
Once no one was paying attention to her anymore, she secretly bought bread and milk from the mall and ate and drank a little to fill her stomach.
Afterwards, she returned to her weak state and leaned against the wall, planning to sneak out again while the guards in the prison were drowsy.
The broken lock in the cell couldn't hold her in at all.
After reviewing the plan in her mind, Mo Qianshang closed her eyes to rest and recharge, as she didn't want to miss the opportunity to relax.
Unexpectedly, an unusual smell suddenly wafted through the air, instantly waking her up.
