Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

"The message has been sent back. The people sent by the chief are already here. This woman is very important. The chief values her very much. We must not make any mistakes here. And we must not provoke this woman. I heard that she is a goddess from some tribe. She is very powerful, otherwise the chief would not have gone to such great lengths to tie her up."

"I see. Before, I saw this little girl was so pretty and tender-skinned that I thought the leader wanted to change his wife. Now it seems that's not the case."

"Well, let's not make random guesses. Just keep an eye on the person and nothing will go wrong. That'll be a blessing!"

As the two men talked, they walked closer to Mo Xiaonian. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her, her breathing was steady, and she still looked asleep, the two men felt relieved and went back to guarding outside the door.

Mo Xiaonian finally waited for the two men to leave, and hurriedly began to cut the rope with the dagger. After cutting for a full cup of tea, the rope was finally cut.

Mo Xiaonian let out a long sigh of relief, sat up and broke the ropes on her feet, then tiptoed out of bed and walked to the window to look outside.

This is indeed an ordinary farmhouse. The surroundings are very quiet, without any noisy sounds. Mo Xiaonian suspected that this should be somewhere on the outskirts of the county. There are few people around, making it convenient for these criminals to do bad things.

The window was a bit broken, and there was a field of weeds outside the window, but it did not lead directly to the outside. If one wanted to escape from here, one would need to climb over a two-meter-high stone wall.

Mo Xiaonian has a good idea of his own strengths and weaknesses.

If she didn't knock down the person guarding her in the yard, with her thin arms and legs, she would be caught up even if she could run out of the yard.

So Mo Xiaonian came to the door again.

The two men were really dedicated to their job. They sat on the steps outside and watched over Mo Xiaonian. Because they were bored, they got a handful of peanuts and a pot of wine, and they drank and chatted while guarding the gate.

Mo Xiaonian took out two darts from the space.

This was what Fu Cang asked her to carry with her for self-defense before she went out. She didn't expect that it would actually come in handy today.

Mo Xiaonian thought about it, then lay back on the bed, loosely tied the rope around her feet, held the darts in both hands behind her back, and then started shouting.

"Help! Someone help me!"

When the two people outside the door heard that the little girl had woken up, they no longer cared about drinking, pushed open the door, walked closer, and checked on Mo Xiaonian's condition.

"Hey, little beauty, are you awake?"

Mo Xiaonian showed a horrified expression.

"Who are you? What do you want to do to me?"

"Don't be afraid, beauty. As long as you cooperate with us, we will never hurt you. Instead, we will take good care of you and won't let you suffer any injustice. Are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

"I feel dizzy and very thirsty."

"Oh, you are thirsty. I will get you some water. Lao Liu, help the goddess up first."

One of them went to the table and poured a bowl of water while talking. The one called Lao Liu came to Mo Xiaonian, not daring to touch her anywhere else. He just gently supported her shoulders and helped her sit up.

Mo Xiaonian said pitifully, "I can't drink water like this. Can you untie my hands? I promise I won't run away!"

"Hey, my beauty, that won't do. Let me feed you some water. We dare not untie the ropes. If we really lose you, we won't be able to handle it..."

The man was halfway through his words when he felt his wrist being cut by something sharp, and the other man standing in front of Mo Xiaonian's bed also felt something piercing his thigh.

"This is... How did the rope on your hand become untied? Lao Liu, wasn't this done by you?"

"What did I do? I did it. We have always been together. How can you blame me? I tell you, I have been unhappy with you for a long time. You just want to do this. Whenever something happens, you blame me. Do you think I am stupid?"

"Aren't you stupid? Without me, would you have ended up like this today..."

Mo Xiaonian watched the two people arguing as if no one was around, and she knew that the drug had taken effect. She hurriedly ran past the two people, picked up a teapot and a vase, and smashed them on the head one by one.

The effect of the drug only lasts for three or two minutes. Mo Xiaonian cannot risk running outside, or he will be caught.

She used a lot of strength in these two hits. After the objects hit the two men's heads, their eyes rolled back and they fainted immediately.

Mo Xiaonian was still worried, so she tied the two people tightly together with a rope and then ran outside.

Thank God, there were only these two men in the house and no other guards, which made it easy for Mo Xiaonian to escape from the house.

But after running out, Mo Xiaonian was still dumbfounded.

This was indeed a desolate place with no one around. There was only their small house around. Mo Xiaonian ran a long way along the path before he saw several other small farms scattered on this piece of land, but they were very far apart.

But Mo Xiaonian did not intend to go to those places for help.

No one knows who lives around here. Mo Xiaonian escaped with great difficulty. She must not fall into the hands of the criminals again because of her momentary negligence.

So she didn't dare to walk on the main road, but hid in the woods not far from the main road and ran out.

To be honest, she didn't know which direction she was running. She took out the compass and looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. She just ran along the road towards the sunset.

Mo Xiaonian ran for a long time and the sky was getting darker and darker.

She felt that she was already very far away from the house, but the surroundings were still so desolate. Occasionally, she could see pedestrians passing by on the road from afar. Mo Xiaonian still didn't dare to go out to ask for help.

She was feeling a little flustered now.

Because it was getting darker and darker.

The forest is extremely dangerous at night, and she must find the way back to Zhu County before the sun sets.

Now she had no better choice but to keep running along this road.

Seeing that the last ray of sunlight was about to disappear on the other side of the mountain, Mo Xiaonian felt that she could not stay in the woods any longer. She wanted to go to the main road and ask someone for directions.

Mo Xiaonian had just run to the main road when she saw from afar the two men who had kidnapped her, riding horses and chasing after her.
