Chapter 315 Caught
It was already 3 p.m.
It was already dark in the woods, and since it had been cloudy for the past two days, there was some fog in the mountains in the evening. The bandits thought that the two figures had just changed direction and ran after them, so they all turned around and chased after them.
Seeing the bandits chasing in the direction of Song Yuntang, Jiang Surao was extremely anxious.
But Song Yuntang had hidden her with great difficulty, and she couldn't hold him back any longer, so she could only pray in her heart that Song Yuntang would not be caught by the bandits.
In addition, she was really out of strength at the moment. Not only was she cold all over, but the injury on her shoulder was also very painful. She curled up on the ground with her arms around her and began to shiver.
……
Song Yuntang led the bandits away as quickly as possible, and after running about three or four miles in one direction, he was exhausted.
Fortunately, the terrain in the mountains is complex.
Otherwise, given the disparity in physical strength between men and women, she would not have been able to run so far.
Seeing the bandits approaching her again, Song Yuntang looked around and jumped into the grass that was one person high beside the mountain wall. When she jumped in, she found that there was a shallow hole behind the grass, which was just big enough for one person to hide.
She breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the back wall of the cave to quickly adjust her breathing so that the bandits wouldn't notice her when they approached.
She was so exhausted from the run just now that her legs were shaking and weak. If she hadn't been leaning against the mountain wall behind her, she would have had difficulty even standing steadily.
I have never run like this in my life before or now.
She has tried her best.
If you are eventually captured by bandits, you will have to think of other ways.
"Where did the people go?"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of bandits was heard not far away outside.
Song Yuntang held his breath.
I also heard someone say, "The person disappeared near here. He must be hiding somewhere. Look carefully for him."
In less than a cup of tea, footsteps approached her.
"Hey, a clump of grass this tall?"
Song Yuntang grabbed the drug in his hand and became alert.
At this moment, she only felt her heart beating violently.
One of them wanted to move the grass aside, but he heard the other one take out a tinder and say, "Just burn it."
Of course, Song Yuntang couldn't hide behind the bushes and get burned to death. She knew that the bandits had discovered her, so she parted the bushes and walked out pretending to be calm.
"Don't burn it, I'm here."
"The little girl is quite brave." The two bandits stepped forward, lifted her chin with a wicked smile, and said, "This little beauty is really pretty. The boss is lucky this time."
Song Yuntang wanted to throw the drugs in her hand away, but the other bandits had already discovered her and gathered towards her.
Even if she waved the drug in her hand, it would be useless and she would still be caught.
The poison in her hand is her trump card, and she cannot reveal it now.
You have to find the right time.
Thinking of this, she quietly hid the drugs back into her sleeve pocket.
"How did you find me?"
The bandits smiled at each other.
"No one knows these mountains better than we do. We just wanted to play hide-and-seek with you. Did you really think we couldn't catch you?"
Perhaps because the girl in front of them was a little girl, these people were not too wary of her.
Just then, the bandit leader came from a distance.
"Where's the other one?"
The younger brothers hurriedly said, "Boss, just catch this one."
The bandit leader frowned and said impatiently, "One at a time, tie her up quickly and carry her back to the village."
"okay."
The bandit responded with a smile, turned around, took a hemp rope and was about to tie up Song Yuntang.
But she took a step back.
"More than ten of you grown men are looking at a weak woman like me. Are you afraid that I will run away?"
The younger brother thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he looked at the bandit leader.
"Boss, look at this..."
The bandit leader glanced in the direction of Song Yuntang.
"If this girl was a carefree person, she wouldn't have led us around the mountains for nearly half an hour before catching someone. Hurry up and tie him up and follow me back to the village. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for me at home."
"Yes."
Seeing that the bandit leader was determined to kidnap him, Song Yuntang did not struggle in vain.
At least these people have no intention of hurting her at the moment. Besides, the way the bandit leader looked at her just now didn't seem like he wanted to do anything to her.
The bandit tied Song Yuntang's hands together and walked towards the bandit leader with the other end of the rope, "Boss, this girl is so delicate and pretty. You can't find such a pretty girl in the whole town. You are so lucky."
The bandit leader glanced at him quietly, without saying any more words to him, and led everyone directly towards Funiu Village.
Song Yuntang still wanted to delay time.
But she made a few noises during the trip, and the bandit leader refused to tolerate her. Later, he simply ordered someone to gag her, put her in a sack, and carry her away.
……
Uncle Qian rode to the county town to report the news, and met Qiuyue and Cheng Nian'er who had just got off the carriage at the city gate.
The driver refused to leave after sending him here.
The two had no choice but to get off the carriage.
"Uncle Qian, why did you come back alone? Where is the young lady?" Qiuyue saw Uncle Qian and hurried forward to ask.
Uncle Qian is the Jiang family's coachman, not a hired one from outside, so he is naturally more loyal than the hired ones.
"Miss Song led the young lady away from the bandits and asked me to ride back to report the news. I went to the county government office first. Otherwise, I would waste time and worry about something unexpected happening."
After Uncle Qian finished speaking, he kicked his horse's belly and headed towards the county government office.
Seeing someone go to the county government office to report the news, Cheng Nian'er tightened the bag on her shoulders and entered the county city gate. "I'm going to find my cousin. Maybe he can find a way to save my cousin's wife."
Seeing this, Qiuyue looked in the direction of Uncle Qian and then in the direction of Cheng Nian'er.
"No, I have to find some more people to rescue the young lady." She suddenly thought of the Yang family. "Oh, the Yang family, if the young master of the Yang family wants to propose to the young lady, they will definitely not sit idly by."
After saying that, he headed towards the Yang family.
When Xu Qingye returned home from Tang's house, he saw that Song Yuntang had not returned yet, and frowned a little anxiously.
The little girl always keeps her word.
She said she would come back this afternoon, and she will definitely come back.
Jiang also ran over from the backyard.
"Qingye, didn't you say Tang'er would be back this afternoon? It's almost evening now, why hasn't she returned yet? Did something happen on the way?"
Just then, there was an urgent knock on the door outside the yard.
"Cousin, are you home?"
Jiang was stunned. "Why does this voice sound familiar?"
"Why does it look a bit like Nian'er?"
As Xu Wencheng spoke, he trotted to the gate and opened it. When he saw Cheng Nian'er carrying a bag, he looked a little surprised.
"Nian'er, why did you come to the county town?"
Cheng Nian'er's eyes immediately reddened when she saw her family. "My cousin brought me here. We encountered bandits on our way back to the county town this afternoon. The carriage my cousin and Miss Jiang were riding in rushed into the mountains. Many bandits were chasing after them. We don't know what's happened to them now. Cousin, please find a way to save my cousin."
