The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

"Ah...ah sneeze!"

Su Rou sneezed, and the cold air in the forest at night came out.

She touched her nose. Who was cursing her behind her back?

Su Rou leaned against the tree trunk, found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.

She did have some silver on her, which belonged to the gangster she had robbed earlier.

This little bit of money can allow her to hang around for a few days.

She just hoped to find Meng before all the money was spent.

When Su Rou got up early in the morning, she walked around several nearby villages.

Everyone in every village knew each other, and when Su Rou appeared in their village, many people looked over.

The fragrance of earth and the smell of grass mixed together.

Su Rou yawned and went to the aunt at the entrance of the village to buy two cakes. Freshly baked cakes are the softest and most delicious.

After taking a bite, Su Rou's cold esophagus was warmed up a little.

After she finished eating the cake, she felt a little choked and ran to the river to drink a few sips of water.

"Bang" a stone suddenly hit Su Rou. Su Rou turned her head to avoid it, and the stone hit the water and splashed a layer of water.

Su Rou turned her head and saw two children standing on the shore throwing stones at her.

Su Rou raised her eyebrows slightly, "What?!"

The older child was a little boy, and he looked at Su Rou with impatience.

There was a little girl hiding behind him. The little girl followed the boy timidly with a nervous look on her face.

"You are not from our village. Who are you? Why are you here? What is your purpose in coming to our village?!"

Su Rou wiped the water from her lips and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"

After saying these words, Su Rou was about to leave, not wanting to continue to entangle with them.

She doesn't like children.

Su Rou stretched and prepared to leave quickly. Just drinking a sip of water here could attract these two children, let alone other people.

Su Rou had barely taken two steps when the child yelled, "Uncles and aunts, come and take a look! This man is from another village! He's sneaking around by our river and poisoning us."

Soon, the women and villagers who were working with their heads down quickly picked up their tools and rushed over.

Su Rou paused; her way from the river to the shore was completely blocked by them.

Su Rou said, "What? Is it going to kill me just to drink a sip of water?"

"You! Who are you? Why did you come to our village?" The person who spoke was an older man.

He should be the village chief here.

Su Rou pointed at a woman standing in the crowd. "I just bought two cakes from her. I choked after eating them, so I came to the river to drink some water. What's wrong with me drinking water? What's more, there were so many people by the river just now. Where did these two kids get the evidence to say I poisoned them?"

The woman she pointed out quickly shook her head and tried to distance herself from her.

"I don't know. I don't know anything."

As if he was afraid that people in his village would ask him something, he quickly left the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

Su Rou: “…”

The village chief's face was gloomy. "Catch her. I will interrogate her myself later."

Su Rou: “?”

Why are the people in this village so weird?

Two sturdy young men walked towards her.

Su Rou couldn't help but frown. Could this village be a gathering place for human traffickers who specialize in trafficking children and women?

Su Rou gritted her teeth and didn't resist, "You guys... are really being unreasonable!"

She had to figure out what the villagers were doing and not rashly hurt innocent people...

She was taken to a dilapidated house. There was nothing in the house, even spider webs hanging in the corners. It was not a place for personal living at all.

And on the floor of the house, there was a wooden board.

One of them walked over and lifted up the wooden board, revealing a dark and independent cellar underneath.

"Throw her down."

This cellar exudes an unpleasant smell, and Su Rou can't describe what it is...

Just ...

It smells a bit like the stench of rotting vegetables, mixed with a strong...

Come on!

Before she could react, Su Rou was kicked down by them. It would be more accurate to say that Su Rou jumped down by herself rather than being kicked.

She jumped down on her own initiative before the man's foot reached out to touch her.

Su Rou landed steadily on the ground. With the faint light coming through the exit above, she took a rough look at the situation below.

More than a dozen bodies were lying across the cellar, which must have been used to store the village's fruits and vegetables.

Because there were a lot of vegetables piled up under the corpses, some of which had turned black and rotted, and maggots had grown in them.

Su Rou covered her nose and heard the people above say, "Strange, why didn't she scream? Did she faint from fright? The last time that woman was thrown down, she screamed so hard that her ears hurt."

Had there been other strangers here before her?

"You mean that desert girl? She looked quite clever. Didn't she get killed while trying to escape?"

Su Rou was stunned. A woman from the desert? Why did someone from the desert come to Jingzhou?

Su Rou looked at the light gradually fading from the faint cracks in the worn wooden boards and thought that perhaps it was getting dark.

She stood up from the ground and dusted herself off.

With a light leap, he rushed towards the wooden board above.

Night enveloped the entire village.

Su Rou stretched lazily. The noise she made when she broke into the cellar was a bit loud. She wondered if it would attract people...

Better to run first.

Su Rou climbed up the tree and looked at the situation in the cellar from a distance.

Sure enough, someone came over with a torch soon, and then the person shouted that she had run away, and groups of people came out of their homes.

"Look for her! A woman like her can't run far. If she wants to leave, she must be familiar with the roads in the village!"

Su Rou held onto the tree trunk and sat down on a branch.

People like them couldn't find her at all unless she took the initiative to walk up to them.

Su Rou suddenly seemed to sense something and turned her head to look at the dark woods behind her.

A breeze blew, and the leaves rustled.

The other side of the village was bustling with people looking for her, but behind Su Rou, it was so quiet that it seemed as if there was murderous intent hidden.

what happened……

She always felt as if another pair of eyes were staring at her.

"Auntie..." Before the voice could finish its words, Su Rou knocked her off the tree trunk with a punch.

Su Rou looked down and saw a man wearing desert clothes.

Who is this person? !

She was scared by his sudden appearance next to her!

Su Rou's breathing stagnated, and she didn't dare to take another breath.

The man from the desert got up from the ground and bowed respectfully to Su Rou.

"Miss, could you please come with me? The king wants to see you. We won't hurt you."

Su Rou clenched the sickle in her hand, "Who is your king?"

The man from the desert stepped back a little to show his sincerity and to prove to Su Rou that they really would not hurt her.

"You'll know when you get there."

Su Rou glanced sideways and found that the tree she had climbed had been surrounded by many people from the desert without her knowing when.

Countless desert people appeared on the tree trunks behind her.

Su Rou laughed and said, "Is it okay if I don't go? Are you guys trying to threaten me?"

"We will not harm you, young lady. Please come with us and meet our king."

If she were to fight them here, Su Rou might not be able to take on so many of them alone.

Forget it...

Just go, the worst that can happen is that you die at the hands of these desert people.

The people from the desert set up camp twenty miles away from the village. The location was extremely remote, and even Su Rou didn't expect that there could be a camp hidden in this place.

She looked left and right, but couldn't recognize any of them.

Her identity was exposed? Instead of meeting Gong Yu, the people of the desert found her first.

I didn't do anything to reveal my identity while I was in Jingzhou City...

"Please come in, young lady." A man in the desert lifted up his tent, and the bright light from inside shone with a warm orange-yellow light.

Su Rou stepped in and felt the soft plush leather under her feet, which was soft and comfortable to step on.

This chair was extremely expensive, and both sides were filled with people sitting.

Su Rou felt a little less vigilant because she saw the Nineteenth Princess of the Desert sitting in the vice-presidential seat.

And the "king" sitting in the main seat was also someone she knew.
