NOVEL NEXT Chapter 361 "Robbers"
Shuang'er was wearing a wedding dress and a red hijab on her head. She fumbled and sat on the stone, waiting for the so-called mountain god to come to welcome her.
When Lao Mu led the villagers to persuade her, he said that the mountain god's wedding was very sacred, and even asked her to be proud of it.
But she really couldn't do it.
She had no idea what the mountain god was or what the mountain god would do to her. She just felt that if a mountain god really came to welcome her, she would never be able to go back or see her father again in her life. .
Thinking this, she began to sob in a low voice, and suddenly remembered Lao Mu's instructions not to cry or shout. If the mountain god heard it, he would be punished.
So she covered her mouth again to prevent herself from crying too loudly.
Seeing Shuang'er sitting alone here, after Lao Mu confirmed that the people who were sending her off had left, he stood up and moved his body, so that his numb legs from squatting could be relieved, and he walked directly towards Shuang'er.
But as soon as he took a few steps out, before he could touch Shuang'er, he was startled by a loud shout.
"Brothers, come to work!"
Lao Mu was shocked. He didn't expect there were other people on the mountain. When he turned around, he saw several men with their faces covered, holding knives in their hands, and their eyes were fierce. They looked like robbers.
He was a little confused. After all, they had lived here for so long, and at most they had suffered from hunger, cold, and natural disasters. At this time, although it was chaotic, they had never heard of robbers.
"What are you looking at? A girl like this is here, just for men to enjoy."
The leading robber came over and put the knife on Lao Mu's neck, "Since you sent this girl here, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you live, get out!"
Lao Mu just learned some deception skills from old books. He didn't know how to deal with such a scene. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and his face turned pale.
"But, but I managed to trick this. This..."
His mind went blank, and he said it directly after thinking about it.
"Hey, who cares if you cheated or robbed me, it's all mine now. Why don't you get out of here? If you don't get out of here, you'll have to pay for your life here!"
After hearing that he could be let go, he didn't dare to insist anymore, and immediately ran away crawling on the ground, shouting as he ran: "No, I won't disturb you guys anymore, I'll get out now..."
There are a lot of girls like Shuang'er in the village. It doesn't matter if she loses this one. It can be said that she was taken away by the mountain god. Next time if she wants a girl, she can just use her old tricks again. Life is still important.
He just ran away, leaving Shuang'er behind and fell to the ground, even his hijab slipped off.
Although she has never dared to speak out, she just saw that the person next to you is Lao Mu, and she made it very clear that she was deceived by him. What he meant in his words was that he wanted to use the mountain god's matter to deal with She is up to no good.
But she couldn't care less about it at this time.
She looked at the robbers who surrounded her, and was so frightened that she even forgot to cry. She just stared at them blankly, at a loss.
The robbers didn't do anything to her, but just carried her away on their backs. They even blindfolded her during the process and didn't put her down until they reached a small village.
"Hey, stay here and don't move."
They just said this, locked her in the room, and locked the door.
After hearing their footsteps leaving, Shuang'er calmed down.
She looked at the empty room. There was nothing in the room except a bed. Since there were no windows, the light in the room was very dim.
She groped for the door, made sure it was locked from the outside, and sat down on the ground dejectedly.
This was the first time she had seen the robbers in her life. She didn't know what they were doing by locking her here, but it couldn't be a good thing.
If you don't find a chance to escape, you may never be able to leave again.
But now there were footsteps and whispers of conversation outside the door, and it was obvious that someone was guarding her.
And she couldn't open the door lock from the inside, so how to get out now was a problem.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of drinking and laughing could be heard outside. It seemed like they were celebrating something.
She hid in a corner and trembled, until the sounds outside became smaller and smaller, and when they disappeared, she moved closer to the door to listen to the sounds outside.
There was no movement from the people guarding the door or patrolling outside. She guessed that these people were drunk when they drank just now. If so, then now is the best time to escape from here.
But just as she was about to find a way to open the door, she heard footsteps outside again.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but it sounded like there was only one person, and he was quite crooked. He was probably drunk.
The sound of the key being inserted into the door lock scared her back.
The robbers here are all very powerful, and she will never be able to deal with them.
Soon, the door was opened.
It was already dark outside, and the man staggered towards her, saying vaguely: "Beauty... hiccup... I'm coming, I'm coming..."
Shuang'er was worried about his next move and retreated to the wall. But what she didn't expect was that the man fell to the ground before he could reach her. He must have been drunk.
Seeing the man lying motionless on the ground and even snoring, Shuang'er plucked up the courage to carefully walk around him and walked directly to the door.
Outside were the robbers lying scattered on the table or on the ground. Smelling the strong smell of alcohol in the air, she guessed that they were all drunk.
This was a rare opportunity. She ran out of the village without looking back and found her way home by the moonlight.
She didn't dare to stay, so she ran all the way down the mountain. Thinking back on everything that happened today, she felt ashamed and angry. She was so angry that she just waited to go back and tell her father, the prince, and Miss Ye.
After Shuang'er left, all the robbers in the village sat up and looked very energetic, not like they were drunk at all.
"I'm really tired after lying down for so long... Then again, our acting skills have also improved a lot. I wonder if the Lord will praise us."
"Don't think too much, we haven't finished our work yet."
"Yes, it's not safe for this little girl to walk alone at night. Let's secretly protect her to the village first."
After saying a few words, they got up and left the village, hiding secretly on Shuang'er's way home. They did not evacuate until she safely entered the village entrance, preparing to go back to find Ye Qingran to recover.
All this was arranged by Ye Qingran in advance.
Only by letting the villagers discover Lao Mu's conspiracy can this strange superstition be broken to the greatest extent. This is also the fundamental reason why she refuses to expose Lao Mu directly.
