The Rise of a Farm Girl
Chapter 35: Escape from Famine 10
The shopkeeper said angrily, "How do I know if I succeeded? Did you take the horse in the backyard away?" Shopkeeper, I tell you, that horse is more stubborn than a donkey. I tried to pull it, but it refused to move.
Later, I asked Liu Er to whip the horse from behind with a whip, and I led the horse forward, thinking that this time it would work, but the horse got excited and kicked the person behind it with its hooves. Then it raised its front hooves to kick me, and I ran back.
I thought that if those guys succeeded, I would wait until daybreak to find some skilled masters to take the horse away. Shopkeeper, I really don't have those two skills, please spare me!
The shopkeeper was also getting anxious. Where is the man that Ma Dengfei flew? Ah! You mean Liu Er? I don’t know. Anyway, I ran back. I don’t know what happened to him.
The waiter said, "Why is there no movement upstairs? Goudan and Zhuzi have never failed before!" The shopkeeper said, "Why don't you go upstairs and take a look?" The waiter shook his head like a rattle. "Shopkeeper, I'm scared. I dare not go."
The shopkeeper said angrily, "Look at how useless you are." What great things can you do with someone like that? The waiter smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I can only be a waiter, and that's all I can achieve."
The shopkeeper pulled the waiter and said, "Come with me to take a look upstairs." The waiter held a lantern and followed the shopkeeper upstairs.
Wang Jingru hid in the dark. It turned out that the waiter and the shopkeeper knew about this matter. And it was also sent by the shopkeeper. Then she didn't need to show mercy.
When the shopkeeper went up the stairs and turned into the corridor, Wang Jingru flashed out from behind them and took the two people into the space. The town was not like the county town, which had a city gate and could be entered and exited at will.
Wang Jingru collected all the money of the innkeeper in the space. The innkeeper had a lot of money, all of which was extorted from passing merchants. This was a black shop, and he took away everything that could be used in the inn.
When it was just dawn and people were still asleep, Wang Jingru had already harnessed the carriage and drove out of the town.
Wang Jingru let her parents out after they left the town. The couple had already woken up and stretched themselves. They said they had a very comfortable sleep today.
Wang Laosan took over the job of driving the cart. Wang Jingru took out food from the space, and the three of them sat in the cart and ate breakfast.
Wang Laosan ate while driving the carriage. After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Jingru lay down in the carriage to sleep. Yu Wenjiao accompanied her husband to chat outside.
The carriage galloped all the way and soon arrived at the nearby county town. The county town was very large. After entering the county town, we asked how far Xinghai County was from here.
I was shocked to learn that it would take seven or eight days to get there by horse and carriage. If we walked, it would be considered fast if we could get there in half a month.
Wang Jingru and her parents rested in the county town for a night and bought a lot of food. There was no need to buy food, as there was plenty in his space.
I also bought some clothes. It rains frequently in the south. I also bought oilcloth and umbrellas. I also bought a few hats and raincoats. If it rains heavily and blows strong winds, umbrellas will not be of any use. At this time, I have to wear hats and raincoats.
The next day they set out early again. There was no need to worry about lack of food in this place, as there were wild vegetables everywhere. If people fleeing famine came here, they would definitely not starve. There were also plenty of fish in the river.
Wang Jingru and her family of three were driving a horse-drawn carriage on the road. After walking for half a day, when they were taking a break, a group of people jumped out from the bushes.
Wang Jingru was driving the carriage outside and could see everything clearly. Before anyone could rush to the carriage, Wang Jingru had already gotten into the carriage, took out a big knife, and put her parents into the space.
Then he got out of the carriage, holding a big knife in front of him, and stood on the carriage. These bandits were all fierce, and Wang Jingru, holding a big knife, started fighting with them.
At the beginning, Wang Jingru had the upper hand and defeated these bandits.
But the middle-aged man who came later was better at martial arts than Wang Jingru. Wang Jingru had never beaten this man, but he could not enter the space. When he thought about it, he lost his mind. He was knocked down by the other party and was caught by them.
Wang Jingru was taken to a mountain village not far from here. Wang Jingru was taken to the mountain blindfolded and locked in a dungeon.
This cell was actually a cave with an iron door outside. Wang Jingru was locked in this cell and those people left.
Not even a single guard was left behind. This bandit was too arrogant. Wang Jingru went into the space first to see her parents, who were inside, anxiously waiting.
Seeing Wang Jingru coming in, Yuwen Jiao hugged her daughter, and tears flowed down her face in pairs. Wang Jingru said, "Mom, don't cry. Nothing happened. I was just captured by bandits and taken to the mountains."
You don’t know my abilities yet, but I just plan to come to the mountain to see if there are any treasures in this bandit’s den.
Then Wang Jingru came to see the bandit leader again. When the bandit leader saw Wang Jingru, he nodded and bowed, asking, "What orders do you have for the people you brought in a few days ago?" "What work have you arranged for them?"
How is the work going? Fairy, those men in black who came in a few days ago didn’t listen to me when I asked them to work at first, but I have subdued them in the past few days.
Let them turn the soil over there! Wang Jingru nodded. Watch them carefully and make them work seriously. Give them a good lesson if they don't obey.
Don't worry, Fairy, I will work hard and supervise the people here. I will never let them be lazy. After saying that, he let the bandit leader go.
Dad and Mom, I'm safe, don't worry. I've been here for too long, I have to go out. After saying that, Wang Jingru left the space. Wang Jingru returned to the cell.
After a while, a person came to deliver the food. He didn't say anything, just put the food at the door and left.
Wang Jingru did not eat the food here. She didn't dare to eat it because she was afraid of being drugged.
But she had to pretend, so Wang Jingru brought the food in, took a bowl from the space, poured the food in, put it back into the space, and threw the empty bowl outside the prison door.
Wang Jingru didn't know whether there was drug in the food, but she pretended to lean against the stone wall with her eyes closed and not move.
I heard two people coming over, saying that they were too cautious, "It's just a woman, isn't it? They even asked us to put soft muscle powder in the food."
This woman must have been starving, she ate the whole bowl of rice. The dosage of this soft muscle powder was increased, even a cow could be knocked out by it. Not to mention that this was a young lady.
The two men looked inside the cell and left, talking and laughing. Wang Jingru opened his eyes and saw that this bandit leader was just as he had guessed.
Wang Jingru didn't know how many people were in the village. She would go out to check at night, but this also reminded her that she must be more careful.
Wang Jingru leaned against the stone wall and gradually fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already midnight. Two more guards appeared outside the prison gate.
The two men, one on each side, were both asleep. Wang Jingru quietly walked to the cell door and saw that the two men were sleeping soundly. Wang Jingru stretched out her hand outside the cell door and took the guards on both sides into the space.
After entering the space, he searched the two people and found the key to the cell door. After leaving the space, he opened the cell door.
Wang Jingru returned to the space and changed into a light black outfit. Then she came to the mountain village, which was in complete silence.
The entire village is built with wooden houses, and there are probably hundreds of them. It seems that the scale of this village is not small!
Wang Jingru did not go to find the bandit leader. Instead, she searched everywhere for their warehouse. It took her two hours to find the warehouse. This warehouse was really hidden.
The warehouse was inside the cave where he was imprisoned. The building and the warehouse were next to each other. But the warehouse was more hidden and most people would not think of it. Wang Jingru walked in and saw the warehouse full of gold, silver and jewelry. She was so happy.
Wang Jingru put all the things into the space, and after putting them all away, she got an unexpected reward. After all the treasures were put into the space, they were revealed, and there was a secret door behind it.
Most people would never find this secret door. Only someone like Wang Jingru, who often works in the warehouses of bad guys and has rich experience, could see it.
Wang Jingru found the switch of the secret door. There was a raised button on the ground, and when she stepped on it, the door opened.
When Wang Jingru walked in, she saw a pile of gold bricks as high as a hill. She was so happy that she could not express it in words. There were too many gold bricks, just placed on the ground one by one. The height was taller than Wang Jingru.
Wang Jingru was afraid of being discovered, so she quickly put all the gold into the space.
Then he quickly retreated, followed by the people in the wooden house. He collected all the gold, silver and treasures. These people had no money, and Wang Jingru was afraid that they would go down the mountain to rob again. She could only take them into the space and let them farm for her.
Wang Jingru went from house to house, and when he arrived at a house, he took the people into his space. He didn't care whether they were men or women, as long as they were from the village, he would take them away.
When she reached the last house, she almost fell into the trap of the bandit leader. The bandit leader was very skilled in martial arts, and he discovered Wang Jingru as soon as she arrived at his door.
She took the knife and started fighting with Wang Jingru. After Wang Jingru exchanged more than ten moves with her, she was unable to withstand it anymore.
But Wang Jingru had space, and she quickly hid in the space. Not only did she hide in the space, she also brought the bandit leader into the space.
Once she entered the space, it was her world. After entering the space, the bandit leader was stunned for a moment, holding up his sword and wanted to duel with Wang Jingru.
Wang Jingru used her mental power to control him, and he couldn't even lift his arms. He could only stare at Wang Jingru, "Who are you, evildoer? Let me out now."
Wang Jingru called the bandit leader inside. As soon as the bandit leader came over, he was stunned. "Brother, why are you here?" The bandit leader stopped struggling.
Second brother, how did you get caught by this witch? Wang Jingru has gone to look for her parents. Let them reminisce about the past!
Since her parents didn't want to enter the house she lived in, she asked these people to build a wooden house for her parents in the space.
Dad and mom were resting in the wooden house. When they saw Wang Jingru coming in, Yu Wenjiao quickly pulled her over to sit on a chair and poured her a glass of water.
What's going on? What's going on outside? Dad and mom are safe outside now. I have collected all the bandits on the mountain into the space.
Now there are only things left in the mountain village, which have not been plundered. Yu Wenjiao was very anxious, so let's get out now! Mother, don't be anxious, wait a moment.
After a while, the two brothers finished reminiscing about the past and came to find Wang Jingru. The bandit leader who was captured by him first knelt down in front of Wang Jingru.
Thank you, Fairy, for bringing my elder brother in. We are two brothers. We got separated on the way to the capital three years ago. Today, we two brothers are able to reunite, and we would like to thank Fairy for that.
The eldest brother came over and bowed, saying, "Please forgive my rudeness, Fairy Lady. If you have anything to ask in the future, just tell me. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
They were brothers, the eldest was called Qin Dalong and the second was called Qin Erlong. Wang Jingru knew from the first glance that Qin Dalong was not a man who would keep quiet.
He first surrendered to himself and looked for a chance to retaliate, but he was wrong. If anyone dared to attack the master in the space, the space would automatically wipe him out.
Wang Jingru said, don't think about revenge or resistance. I might as well tell you that this is my territory. Even if I stand in front of you, you can't move a finger of mine. If you dare to take the initiative to attack the master, you will pay a heavy price.
Wang Jingru ignored him and ordered Qin Dalong to work with her mind. Qin Dalong's eyes widened because his body had already started to work out of control.
Only then did he understand why his brother said not to compete with the Fairy.
Wang Jingru took her parents out of the space, and there was no one left in the village. Wang Jingru and her parents began to search the village.
They only searched for money. There were only a few taels of silver in each room. Only in Qin Dalong's room did they find hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes and a box of gold and silver treasures.
The food in the village was also stored in the space. Wang Jingru saw that there was nothing valuable left, so she couldn't waste it as there were so many people without homes in the space!
Just try to put these wooden houses into the space, and surprisingly, they are all neatly arranged in the space.
After Wang Jingru packed her things, she set off with her parents. They went back and forth like this, wasting three or four days in the mountain village.
When they came down from the mountain, there were already many refugees on the road. Wang Jingru drove a horse-drawn carriage and followed the group of refugees, hurrying forward. There were also many people driving carts in the group, but they were not horse-drawn carriages, but ox-drawn carts and donkey-drawn carts.
We walked along the way, and by the afternoon the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it felt like it was going to rain soon.
Wang Jingru quickly took out a bamboo hat and a raincoat for her father to wear. They were not afraid of being in the carriage because the carriage shed was rainproof.
Wang Jingru and her mother were sitting in the car, and Wang Laosan had just put on his straw raincoat and hat when the raindrops began to fall.
There was a village ahead. Wang Laosan drove the carriage into the village and found a family that looked well-off. He knocked on the door.
The family came out with umbrellas and opened the door. When they heard that they wanted to take shelter from the rain, they refused at first. But Wang Laosan took out a tael of silver. When the family saw the silver, they immediately greeted them with smiles and were very warm, letting the family of three in.
The carriage was tied outside the gate. The yard of this house was very large. Wang Jingru and her family of three were sitting inside the house. The old lady in this house did not look easy to get along with.
Through chatting, I learned that the old lady had four sons, all of whom were married.
The eldest grandson has already started a family, but the others are not yet. This old lady has seven grandsons.
In fact, there is nothing surprising about this. There was no concept of birth control in ancient times, and there were no entertainment activities. In order to save money, people didn't even light oil lamps.
What to do at night? Only to make babies. The rain keeps falling, the old lady said, we are in the south, it rains whenever you say it, sometimes it can rain for two or three days.
This is not surprising at all. Since I can't leave, I can only stay at this old lady's house.
The family's surname was Li, and they all called the old lady Li Lao Madam. When they cooked in the evening, Lao Madam Li took out ten eggs and fried them with cabbage.
This old lady is very stingy and usually doesn't want to eat anything. She only eats because Wang Jingru's family gave her one or two taels of silver.
When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Li’s second and third grandsons almost popped their eyes out when they saw Wang Jingru’s pretty face.
Wang Jingru didn't care. After all, she had an outstanding appearance and they looked at her in the same way wherever she went.
After dinner, the two grandsons called Grandma Li out. When they came back, Grandma Li looked a little pale.
Because they were discussing marrying Wang Jingru, which Old Lady Li thought was impossible because, firstly, this family didn't look like someone you would easily mess with.
Second, she doesn't look like a farmer in the village, so what can her family afford to marry her? Didn't you see that people who were fleeing famine drove big horse-drawn carts?
It was obvious that she was out of her reach. Old Mrs. Li had not yet gotten carried away.
But the two grandsons quarreled a lot. Old Mrs. Li loved her second grandson the most. Her eldest son was a well-known bad guy in the village and could think of all kinds of sinister tricks.
No one in the village dared to mess with their family.
When Boss Li heard that his second son had taken a fancy to that girl, he came up with a sinister plan.
