Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland
Chapter 90 Ransom
"Is it you? I just said it casually, but now it is impossible to exchange you. My requirements have been lowered to two loads of grain and five taels of silver. This should be easy to gather. Hurry up and prepare it for me. Don't delay any longer. Don't imagine that everything will be fine when our leader comes. I tell you, if you don't give me food and silver, I will kill this woman immediately!"
Hu Liang tightened his grip, and the machete left a line of blood on Linghua's neck.
Linghua, who was the loudest before, was completely wilted this time. She tightly grasped Hu Liang's arm and said in a trembling voice: "Don't mess around! I'm the daughter of the high priest, and my status is very noble!"
"Hahaha, right, right, what I want is a noble woman like you. No one else is qualified to be my bargaining chip! Do you agree? Don't delay here. If you don't agree to give me food and silver, then I will have no choice but to kill this woman. This way, I can still have a woman to accompany me on the road to the underworld. This life will be worth it!"
Hu Liang's strength increased a little bit, and the wound on Linghua's neck became bigger.
Yuelu really couldn't bear to watch Linghua being killed, so he hurriedly said, "We agree that you don't want to hurt Linghua. So, I will take people back now to prepare food and silver for you, but you must promise me not to hurt Linghua!"
"Don't play tricks on me. I promise I won't kill her before you send me food and silver. But I'll only give you a cup of tea. If you don't send me food and silver after a cup of tea, you can just wait to collect her body!"
Yue Lu had no other choice but to nod and agree, then took Mo Xiaonian and Feng Ming back to the cave.
"Xiao Nian, do you still have six taels of silver? I can't get two loads of grain together now, but I can convert it into silver for him. Don't worry, Xiao Nian, I'm lending you this silver. When our tribe is settled and I have the silver in my hand, I will definitely return it to you immediately."
"Grandma, why are you talking to me about whether to lend it to me or not? Just wait, I'll go in and get it for you right now!"
Seeing Mo Xiaonian so straightforward, Yue Lu breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Feng Ming and said soothingly: "Don't worry about Linghua, Hu Liang's goal is to make money, so he won't hurt Linghua easily. No matter how much silver it takes, we will rescue Linghua!"
Beeping nodded gratefully.
Mo Xiaonian had already taken out six taels of silver and put it in Yue Lu's hand.
"Grandma, go and save Linghua quickly, but be careful of Hu Liang's tricks. He is definitely not a good person and has evil intentions. I don't think he will let Linghua go so easily!"
"I understand. You don't need to go. Go home and get some sleep. Leave these things to us."
Mo Xiaonian had no interest in Linghua's life or death. If she wasn't afraid that Yuelu would get anxious and angry, she would not have taken out the six taels of silver so easily.
Mo Xiaonian stayed in the cave, and the sickle also stayed to protect the safety of the people in the cave.
Mo Xiaonian was really tired after working for such a long time, so she got into her car and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already light outside, and Yuelu and Linghua had returned to the cave.
Mo Xiaonian rubbed her eyes, went out and saw that Yue Lu was still awake, so she hurried over.
"Grandma, did Hu Liang let her go?"
"Yes, I guess Hu Liang was also afraid that their leader would suddenly come back, so he was very anxious to make the exchange with us."
"What about Hu Liang? Did he run away?"
"He ran away. He was very smart and knew he was surrounded by me. He took Linghua and walked for a long time. He only let her go after they got out of our encirclement.
It was so dark outside, and we were worried about the cave, so we didn’t chase Hu Liang, but returned.”
"This damn Hu Liang is too abominable! After their leader comes back, we must go and ask for an explanation."
"Of course. I've been busy all night and I need to go to sleep. You should go to sleep too. It's still early and it's not even bright outside yet."
Mo Xiaonian was happy to go back and take another nap. When she woke up again, it was already noon and Luhua had already prepared breakfast for them.
After such a misfortune, Linghua looked quite depressed. When Mo Xiaonian saw her again, he saw a cloth wrapped around her neck with blood seeping out.
Mo Xiaonian was quite happy in her heart. She usually acted like a wealthy man, but at the critical moment, she still needed her money to save her. Ha!
As soon as Linghua saw Mo Xiaonian's expression, she knew what she was thinking. Her blood boiled in her heart and even her face turned red.
Mo Xiaonian made a soft sound, then picked up the bowl and prepared to eat.
At this time, Hu Mu returned with the people of the Huqin tribe.
Abu told Hu Mu everything that happened last night, which made Hu Mu furious.
"This damn Hu Liang actually did such a thing. How can I explain this to the Yueluo Tribe?"
Before he could figure out how to explain to the Yueluo tribe, Yuelu had already arrived with his men.
Yue Lu was not a good person either. When she saw Hu Mu, she started cursing at him.
"I said before that I might just let the wolf into the house. I didn't expect that you from the Huqin tribe are really a bunch of ungrateful wolves. You took advantage of the time when our warriors and hunters went into the mountains to hunt, seduced our night watchmen, entered our tribe and tried to steal things! After being discovered, you even kidnapped the daughter of our high priest. Humu, how are you going to explain this to me?!"
Hu Mu's face turned blue and red after hearing what Yue Lu said, and he kept bowing to Yue Lu.
"Great Elder Yuelu, please don't be so angry. I will give you an explanation for this matter and will never tolerate it. Hu Liang's actions can only represent him personally. Other people in our tribe will never be like him. You must believe me! Now please take me to the location for exchanging hostages. I will follow the traces left by Hu Liang and catch up with him, and then bring him to you. No matter how you want to deal with him, even if you want to kill him, I will not say a word of no!"
"Then I'll trust you this time!"
Yuelu brought Humu to the place where they separated yesterday. Humu ignored the tiredness of just returning and chased after him with his men.
