Wen Rulan smiled gently, grilled another fish, and seeing Xiaowei eating it with relish, she asked, "Xiaowei, are you villagers from around here?"

Xiao Wei's mouth was covered in oil from eating. She didn't even bother to wipe it off. She nodded and said vaguely, "We are from the nearby mountain. The harvest was not good this year and everyone is hungry. My grandma and I came out to see if we can find something to eat."

But there were no starving people seen along the way. Chu Yunxi was a little skeptical, but then she thought, maybe the grandparents and grandchildren didn't have any skills, so they were hungry. Even if other families didn't have enough food, they should not have nothing to eat.

Everyone had a full meal and then leaned against a tree to rest, waiting for Zi Han and the others to come back. Before they knew it, Chu Yunxi fell asleep.

When she regained consciousness, Chu Yunxi found herself in a room that looked like a woodshed. There was nothing inside except a few bundles of firewood stacked against the wall. She was leaning on the firewood with Xiao Mubei's coat draped over her. Xiao Mubei was listening to the noise outside at the door. When he heard Chu Yunxi wake up, he hurriedly got up and returned to her.

Chu Yunxi rubbed the back of her head and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Xiao Mubei lowered his voice and said, "Those grandparents are bandits."

"Bandits?" Chu Yunxi was quite surprised. She didn't notice it at all, and the hunger of the grandfather and grandson at that time was not pretended.

Xiao Mubei said: "We didn't notice it at first. Later, when we were resting, they secretly put drugs in the wind and we found out. But we wanted to see what they were going to do, so we didn't move and let them take us up the mountain."

That means, only the three women were infected?

Xiao Mubei nodded, "This drug is not poisonous, it just makes people faint, which is equivalent to a good sleep, so we didn't stop it."

Chu Yunxi covered her face. In this ancient time, her walking skills were really far from perfect.

"What about the rest?"

There were only two of them in the room at the moment. Wen Rulan, Chu Zhongxi and the others were not seen, and they were not tied up, so they should be in no danger.

Xiao Mubei said: "When the grandfather and grandson saw that we were both unconscious, they called a few more men out, carried us all up the mountain, and imprisoned us separately. It was just a coincidence that they imprisoned the two of us together."

Chu Yunxi stood up, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack. There was a courtyard here, very large. Not far away there was a weapon rack with various weapons. Someone was practicing martial arts, and judging by their movements, their skills were pretty good.

There was no one guarding the door of the room. Chu Yunxi turned around and asked Xiao Mubei softly, "Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"Okay." Xiao Mubei walked to the door, listened carefully, and said, "Someone is coming."

Chu Yunxi stepped back quickly, and sure enough, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound. It was the girl Xiaowei who came in. When she saw Chu Yunxi standing there, she immediately showed joy on her face, ran to Chu Yunxi and said, "Sister, you're awake."

Chu Yunxi's pretty face was frosty, and she said sternly: "Don't call me sister. I kindly invited you to eat grilled fish, but you poisoned us. You really repay kindness with hatred."

Xiao Wei's face drooped. "Sister, I have no ill intentions. I just fell in love with the fish-roasting gentleman and want him to be my husband. You are all his friends. When we get married, I want to invite you all to the mountain to watch the ceremony."

Chu Yunxi opened her eyes and mouth wide, not wanting to believe what she heard. What did she say? She fell in love with Wen Rulan? Getting married?

"Where is my senior brother?" Chu Yunxi asked hurriedly.

Xiao Wei's face flushed, but she was still calm and composed. "Is he my elder brother? He is in my room now, and hasn't woken up yet. I have asked someone to go down the mountain to buy things for the wedding. We can have our wedding night tonight at the latest."

Her face was full of joy and she spoke very naturally. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei didn't know how to react. At the same time, they felt a little sympathy for Wen Rulan. He was actually kidnapped. He probably had never encountered such a thing in his previous life or this life.

Chu Yunxi took a deep breath, raised the corners of her lips and said, "Xiao Wei, have you asked my senior brother for permission?"

Xiao Wei's face showed confusion. "Will he disagree? Isn't this taking advantage of him?"

Chu Yunxi was so angry that she laughed, "Marriage requires mutual affection between the two parties, so that the marriage will be happy. If one party is unwilling, there will be endless troubles after the marriage. Didn't your grandmother teach you this?"

Xiao Wei shook her head. "Grandma said that she and Grandpa got married without ever meeting each other, and they lived a happy life. When Grandpa died, Grandma was sad for a long time and kept shouting that she wanted to avenge him."

Revenge? Chu Yunxi seized on the sensitive word, "Was your grandfather killed by someone?"

"Yeah." Xiao Wei didn't want to say more, and brought the topic back to the topic, "Well, now that you are awake, you don't have to stay in this woodshed. You can go out for a walk or go and persuade your brother. But don't think about running away. The brothers in the village are very powerful. If you are caught by them, I can't help you."

Xiao Wei finished speaking and handed the tray in her hand to Chu Yunxi, "Here, grandma and I ate your two grilled fishes, and this is returned to you."

On the tray were two plates of exquisite side dishes and two bowls of rice. Chu Yunxi smelled them and said to Xiao Mubei, "It's not poisonous."

Xiao Mubei said: "It is better to be cautious about what you eat."

Although it was not poisonous, who knew if there would be any other traps. Chu Yunxi put the things down and walked out with Xiao Mubei.

It didn't take much effort to find Baiyu Heimu, Chu Zhongxi, Hongyu Qingmei and others. As expected, the people in the village did not restrict their personal freedom. However, when Chu Yunxi wanted to ask someone a question, no one paid attention to them.

Bai Yu said to Xiao Mubei, "I have just taken a look around. There are experts lurking in every corner of the village. They are probably about the same strength as me and Hei Mu. There are about ten of them. Although the others are slightly inferior, they should not be underestimated."

No wonder they are not afraid of them walking around freely.

Chu Yunxi asked: "Have you seen my senior brother?"

Hei Mu said, "I just saw him, but there was someone guarding the door to his room, so I couldn't get in. But I saw the look in his eyes, telling us to stay calm. He's fine."

Chu Yunxi nodded, "It's okay. I'm going to be the groom soon, what could go wrong?"

"The groom?" The others obviously didn't know about this yet and were very surprised when they heard it.

So Chu Yunxi told everyone what Xiaowei had just said. When everyone heard it, they covered their faces. They didn't expect Wen Rulan to be so lucky. Although Xiaowei was a little thinner, she was still bright and beautiful.
