C1 He Just Got out of the Den and Entered the Wolf's Lair

"The authorities have been investigating recently, you should all return to the village to hide."

The man took a sip of tea and took out a silver ingot from his bosom. He tossed it over to the two middle-aged men in front of him, unwilling to part with it, but pretended to be generous and continued, "This is the reward Sanye has given you.

Thank you, Brother Hu, for helping us greet the Sanye. "" Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Brother Hu.

One of them took the silver and said in a flattering tone. He bowed to the person in front of him and then left with his wife.

They relied on trafficking in human beings to survive, and because they looked loyal and honest, they deceived a lot of good women. It was a pity that with so many people missing recently, the government's investigation was so severe that they had no choice but to return to their hometowns to avoid trouble.

It was a good thing that the owner of the restaurant had always had a way to get here, so they had to spend some money.

Within the thatched hut

Muzhao felt an excruciating pain in her head, her four limbs were powerlessly tightened. She frowned, wanted to open her eyes, but there was nothing she could do.

She lay on the bed in a daze for a while until a pair of hands helped her up and fed her some soup. Only then did she calm down.

Muzhao's mouth was filled with pain as she rubbed the wound on her head and thought back to what happened.

He had a gathering with his good friend Linzi, he took a taxi on his way back to the city, but who knew that the driver had ill intentions? The moment he pounced towards them with his blade, the jade pendant on Muzhao's body emitted a blinding light, and she fainted.

From the looks of it, he was sent to the hospital by the police later on. He did not know what kind of crime the driver would be punished for, but when he thought about Muzhao, he panicked.

Muzhao's spirit was quickly restored. She blinked as she tried to find her way out of the bed, but was stopped by a pair of hands.

"Doctor, is there anything wrong with my condition?"

Muzhao used her hand to get up from the bed. When she touched his rough and dry skin, Muzhao couldn't help but get goosebumps. Why was the nurse's hand so rough?

"Hello, is my illness alright?"

Muzhao asked again, but still did not get a reply.

Because she had previously been blinded by the smell of the medicinal soup, now that it had mostly dissipated, she could smell that there was no hospital's unique smell of disinfectant. She flung the person's hand away and pulled the gauze cloth from her face.

"Who the hell are you? Where am I? "

Although Muzhao still couldn't see anything clearly after she took off the gauze, she was still a little anxious. She didn't show it on her face, so she pursed her lips and tried to move out.

Through the sunlight, Muzhao could vaguely see the man standing at the side, using his hand to point at something, but because his movements were too fast, she gave up when the Muzhao's gaze was bad, and quickly ran over to pull a man in.

If she wasn't in the hospital, then where was she? Muzhao was holding onto the table, her mind was in a mess, and where was her friend Linzi?

"Miss, you're awake."

The man ran over with the old lady and helped Muzhao back onto the bed, then explained to her.

"Don't be afraid girl, we are honest farmers, we won't harm you. This is my wife. She can't speak, but she can understand. We found you by the roadside and brought you back when you fainted. We helped bandage the wound on your face. "

After listening to the man's explanation, Muzhao heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it was not a bad person, then as long as it was not a bad person, then the place they were gathered at was the outskirts.

The old lady went out to get some food for Muzhao and held it in her hands as she looked at her lovingly. Muzhao scratched his head and thought for a moment before accepting it, intending to give the hospital a call.

"Uncle, where are we?" Do you have a phone here? I want to call my family. "

The man looked at the old woman. The two of them looked at each other in confusion. This girl's head shouldn't have fallen off.

Laofuchaonanzi gave her a look. These eyes were not good to begin with, and if her brain was bad, she wouldn't be able to sell it for a good price.

The man looked up and down Muzhao. Seeing that her expression was normal, he did not seem to be that of an idiot, he continued to speak. "Young lady, you haven't recovered yet. You should rest for a while before you go find your family."

"Huh?" Oh, okay. "It's alright, I'm almost fully recovered. Thank you for your good intentions."

Muzhao thought that it was because they were too old, and had never tried to make contact with phone calls before.

"Girl, just patiently stay here and rest."

After leaving these words behind, the man went back to work, leaving Muzhao and the old woman in the room. Muzhao had been lying on the bed for a few days already, and even when he was tired, he wanted to walk around outside the room.

She didn't know if it was because of Muzhao's imagination, but she felt that this old lady was strange, making her feel uncomfortable.

Only in the evening did her spirit improve a bit. Muzhao stretched out her hand and waved it before her eyes, and realized that she was still the same as before.

She felt her heart turn cold as she grabbed her arm to check her pulse. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Muzhao thought of the soup he had drunk previously and was annoyed. He should still go to the hospital to treat her.

While she was lost in her thoughts, the old woman came in with another bowl of soup after she saw that she had woken up.

Muzhao was not in a hurry to drink it. She said that she was hungry and asked Yue Yang to help her get more food in, and while the old lady was going to eat it, Muzhao quickly found an empty jar to pour the medicine into it, then stuffed it back into its original place.

When the old lady came in, she looked at her in a different way. Muzhao felt a little guilty, thinking that she probably did not see it, and took the bowl.

Seeing that she had drunk it, the old lady smiled, extended her hand and caressed Muzhao's hair, took the leftover empty bowl and walked out, closing the wooden door behind her.

Muzhao, who was lying on the bed, immediately got up after hearing the old lady leave. He listened for a while by the door and noticed that the old lady and the man were discussing something.

Hearing that there was no activity outside, Muzhao wanted to open the door to take a look, but she found that it was already locked. She knocked on the door and called for the man.

"What's the matter with the girl?"

"My stomach hurts so bad I want to go to the bathroom."

Muzhao didn't care about face anymore. He directly told him what he needed, but was rejected by the man.

"There is a commode in the room. If it's inconvenient for a lady's eyes, I might as well make do with it for now."

The man suddenly stopped and left with a cold face, not paying any more attention to what Muzhao said. Muzhao knew that she had been imprisoned and decided to return to her bed to think of a way to escape.

Although this house was small, it was still quite sturdy. After locking the door, she could only take the key from the old lady's hands, but she didn't know what they were holding her prisoner for. They couldn't be thinking of selling her to some Xiongxiazi, right?

Muzhao laid on his bed, thinking random thoughts, the things on his body had disappeared, the jade pendant was nowhere to be found, it was most likely taken away by the two of them.

In another room, the old lady was carefully observing some of the items that the Muzhao had brought with her under the dim oil lamp. The two of them had never seen these before and were very curious.

The man held a fifty-yuan piece of paper in his hand. He couldn't help but rub it a few times. 'This drawing is quite unique. Is it some martial arts manual or secret letter?

The two of them discussed for a long time, but still could not come up with an accurate answer. The old lady could not hold it in and said: "Old man, wouldn't it be fine if I just directly sold her to the Huangerxiazi at the village entrance? Why do you need to use all of your effort to blind her?"

"Do you think I didn't think that this girl would suddenly appear in the wilderness covered in blood? Looking at her appearance and clothes, who knows which young miss or Shangguan family's concubine might have escaped? If she remembers our faces, who knows what would happen?"

The man couldn't help but let out a tsk. This girl's appearance and temperament was pretty good. It's just that he didn't know where she came from, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of Huangerxiazi.

The old lady seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and spat towards the ground. This old thing had a lot of thoughts in one day, and then he went to inspect the things that had been handed down from Muzhao.

Sigh, don't even mention what rich people have, this mirror is even clearer than normal people's. There was a pattern on the back of the mirror. Although the old woman could not understand it, she was still very happy and could not let go of it.

She discovered that Muzhao's clothes were also good. Although the style was a little strange, the feel of his clothes were really good. Even though she had seen so many girls in the Emerald Red House, she had never seen them wearing this kind of material. With a burst of envy in his heart, he decided to take off Muzhao's clothes at a moment's notice and leave them for his niece to wear.

So these two farmers were the ones who abduct women and children in other counties. On their way back to their hometown, they coincidentally met Muzhao who was brought here by the jade pendant, so they brought her back. They were planning to send her to Huangerxiazi.

It was ten in the night, and in the darkness, Muzhao was awoken by the light. The jade pendant had returned to her side at some point in time. A pale green light surrounded it, and after a while, the light became gentle. Muzhao examined it, and then hung it around his neck.

This jade pendant was given to him by his family's old man. It was said that it was passed down from his ancestors, and most of the jade pendants were intelligent.

Muzhao ran to the door and tried to open it again, but this time she directly twisted the lock off the door. Seeing the iron lock, Muzhao guessed that it must be the effect of the jade pendant, otherwise, a weak chicken like her wouldn't be able to open the lock with her bare hands.

Since the door was opened, the Muzhao did not dawdle and took advantage of the night time to slip out.

Muzhao only dared to slow her steps after she ran to a place where she could no longer see the village. As she walked, she observed her surroundings.

At this point of time, the moon and stars could not be seen clearly, but the unending mountains and the birds that were occasionally shouting made Muzhao suspect that he had been sold into some deep forest.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. If she was caught, then she might as well be caught by the driver, who would know the difference between them. She gradually increased her speed and stopped walking down the main road, fortunately the jade pendant still had a glimmer of light, otherwise, it would be fun for Muzhao to walk into the pit in the dark.

Muzhao suspected that this jade pendant was only a Night Light Stone, and he didn't have any other special abilities.

Just as she was retorting, the dim light of a torch appeared not far behind her. Muzhao was shocked, she guessed that those people must have found out that she ran away and came to find her.

Muzhao hurriedly ran, the thorns and shrubs occasionally leaving scars on her body and face. In this moment of danger, Muzhao did not care about that as he ran forward with large strides.

After running for about half an hour, she was running out of energy. After taking a few breaths, Muzhao saw a hole nearby. The pursuers behind him did not give up due to chasing for too long. Just as they were about to reach Muzhao, at this moment of life and death, the Muzhao did not care about the purpose of the pit anymore.

"Ai, over there is the unmarked cemetery. Uncle, let's not go over."

The few men in the lead began to whisper to themselves. To them, this sort of place was rather taboo, especially in the middle of the night. It would be bad if they were to provoke something, so they had thoughts of retreating.

"A few grown men are still afraid of this. When we find that little girl and get her money, I'll give you ten percent."

The man who previously planned to blind the Muzhao did not want to give up on the money he had earned so he hurried them to find the Muzhao. However, because there was a patient who had just been buried here, those few people did not dare to take a step forward.

He cursed angrily, spat a mouthful of saliva into his mouth, held the torch in his hand, and walked towards the cemetery. Because he was nervous, his hands were trembling, and the torch was shaking as well.

After walking a few steps, the man felt something quickly graze his lower leg. It was bone-chilling cold, and he looked around, but he couldn't see where it was. He suddenly thought of the folklore, which made him feel weird and disordered.

The man hurriedly returned with a torch. Not long after, he saw that the others were still waiting for him. When they saw him return, they eagerly surrounded him. It seemed like they were reluctant to part with the silver and didn't want to enter, so they placed their hopes on this man.

"Uncle, did you see that little lady?"

This person was old and always bullying them. He didn't dare to say that he didn't dare to go because he was afraid. In order to not lose face, he said that the little girl's legs were already running away and they had no choice but to give up on disappointment.

Muzhao hid in the hole for a while. When she saw that no one was chasing her, she knew that they were afraid and did not dare to go forward. Fortunately, she had learned medicine before, so she was not afraid of those things.

I finally managed to dodge it. I have to think about how I should get home now. Thinking about that endless mountain road made Muzhao feel weak in her heart.

Muzhao crawled out of the hole due to her mixed feelings, planning to find a new direction and head towards the main road, but when she passed by a small pit, she was stopped by something, her heart skipped a beat, she was not that unlucky right?
