The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Each of these items was a treasure in ancient times. Mu Qingcheng hardened her heart and put them back into her bag. She couldn't take any of them with her, so she could only put them back in her bag temporarily and pray that the family would let her bag go. Alas! Even if it was really demolished and taken away, she would have no way to do anything.

Looking at the first aid kit, she felt a little worried. This first aid kit was a life-saving treasure in ancient times. It was really important, but it was too big to be taken away for the time being. If it was found by that hateful family, all the medicines would be wasted in vain.

Mu Qingcheng saw a row of simple wooden shelves in the innermost corner of the cellar, and under the shelves was a cracked large vat, which was obviously abandoned.

Time was running out and there was no time to think. Mu Qingcheng got up and staggered towards the big vat and put the first aid kit into it.

I returned to the wooden board, quickly opened the bag of snacks, picked up some small packages of snacks and stuffed them into two pockets of my clothes and my trouser pockets. I really wished I had pockets all over my body. I stuffed the remaining snacks back into my backpack.

Unexpectedly, she also found a black folding military knife and a high-intensity flashlight under the snack bag.

Mu Qingcheng didn't have time to rejoice when she heard footsteps overhead. The woman had returned. She quickly stuffed her military knife and flashlight into her sleeves, which were wide enough and elastic at the cuffs to prevent them from falling off. She packed her backpack, zipped it up, buckled it, and secured it. She put the bag back in its place and lay down on the wooden board.

"Drink your water quickly. Don't die in my house. If you have to die, make sure we get the money first."

Mu Qingcheng lay motionless, cursing her in her heart a hundred times. She started playing dead, and the woman was frightened. She quickly put down the bowl and sniffed her breath.

"As long as she's still breathing and alive, that's good."

She breathed a sigh of relief, her greedy eyes falling on the black backpack. She searched the bag over and over again, found the front pocket of the backpack, reached into the front pocket, and surprisingly pulled out five or six candies from it.

"What is this?"

She couldn't smell anything through the packaging bag. She imitated Mu Qingcheng and tore the packaging bag hard.

"Strange, what kind of paper is this? I can't tear it open, but that girl tore it open just by pulling it!"

"Gou Wa Niang, Gou Wa Niang, I'm back!"

Gou Wa's mother studied the package for a long time but couldn't tear it open. Suddenly, a man's shout came from above. The woman was startled and hurriedly lifted her apron to hide the candy in the pocket under her apron.

When he was about to climb up, he suddenly remembered the black backpack. He went back and hid the bag in the corner before climbing out of the cellar. He also covered the wooden board above the cellar.

Mu Qingcheng fell into darkness again. She knew her betrayer had arrived. In the darkness, she took out her military knife and held it in her palm, wondering if she could kill them by surprise.

The thought of killing someone made her hands tremble. Born in a society ruled by law and raised in a sweet environment, she had never imagined that one day she would have to kill someone.

Mu Qingcheng stood up, her legs were shaking and her head was dizzy. This was due to physical weakness caused by not eating for a long time. The few pieces of candy she had eaten probably had not been digested yet!

Forget it. With her current physique, she would fall after taking two steps. There were three of them, so she had no confidence in winning. She silently put the knife back into her right sleeve and zipped up all her pockets to prevent anything from falling out and being discovered.

She groped in the dark to find the bowl of water, drank it in two or three gulps, put the bowl back where it belonged, and lay back on the wooden board to continue pretending to be dead.

Soon, the wooden board above the head was lifted again, and the sound of talking was heard.

"...Let me tell you, the stuff this time is different from the previous ones." The man spoke in a low voice.

"If you don't believe me, check it out first. You've never seen anyone so beautiful. She's even more beautiful than the young lady from Mr. Liu's family. I'm giving you fifteen taels. You're getting a great bargain. Just because of our relationship, I came to you first. If Hong Gu saw her, she'd take her for thirty taels."

There was a lewd laugh coming from above. It was another man's voice, probably the one called Lai Pi Si.

"Brother, I knew you were on my side. Let's inspect the goods first, and then we can negotiate the price."

"It's hard to say. I'll get her up first. You wait."

The couple went down to the cellar together. When the man saw Mu Qingcheng lying motionless on the wooden board, his brows immediately twisted into a "川" shape.

"Didn't they say she woke up? What's going on?"

The man kicked Mu Qingcheng hard on the shoulder.

Mu Qingcheng was kicked and rolled off the wooden board onto the ground. Her shoulder was in excruciating pain and she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from screaming.

"His father, his father, please be gentle. It seems like he's about to slip away. Don't beat him to death."

Gou Wa's mother hurriedly checked her breathing.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm still breathing!"

Gou Wa's father said impatiently, "I'm not afraid that she'll pretend to faint! Even if she really faints, it will save her from making a fuss. Quickly tie her up and get her out."

The couple tied her hands and feet, one of them tied them, and they used hemp rope to wrap them several times, tying them tightly. Gou Wa's father carried her on his shoulders, and the three of them left the cellar.

Gou Wa's father threw the man to the ground like a sack. Mu Qingcheng was knocked unconscious and her heart, liver and lungs were almost dislocated. Fortunately, the ground was soft, otherwise she might have put it back on.

"Oh my! Be gentle, you really don't know how to be gentle with women!" The speaker was the man named Lai Pi Si.

He came closer, and the stench of sweat mixed with the smell of smelly feet rushed straight to Mu Qingcheng's forehead. Oh my god! She must have fainted!

Lai Pi Si pulled aside Mu Qingcheng's messy hair and took a look at her face. He couldn't hide his obscene eyes.

"What a little beauty!"

Gou Wa's father also came over, and the two of them squatted on the ground and started bargaining in front of Mu Qingcheng.

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I? How long do we have to wait to see one in this mountain valley? Fifteen taels of silver is definitely worth it."

"Let's not talk about whether it's a loss or not. Why is her dress so weird? She doesn't look like someone from our area."

Lai Pi Si looked at Mu Qingcheng's clothes carefully, touched the fabric with his hand, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Let's be frank. Tell me where you got this stuff. We've been doing this for so many years without any problems. Let's not let this happen again."

Gou Wa's father glanced around guiltily, then leaned close to Lai Pi Si's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"I found her on the mountain behind us. Gou Wa's mother went to dig wild vegetables and she lay down by the ditch. I carried her back. I've been going to the ditch every day for the past two days, but no one has come looking for her. I guess she got lost in the mountains and fainted from hunger. I haven't fed her in the past two days, for fear she'd wake up and make a fuss."

Lai Pi Si frowned when he heard this. "Is he sick?"

"No, no." Gou Wa's mother waved her hands. "He woke up at noon today and was very energetic. He asked me where I was the moment he woke up. He's so smart!"

Gou Wa's father was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he said hurriedly, "How about I splash some water on her to wake her up?"

"Wait!" He reached out and held Gou Wa's father back. "If you wake up and make a fuss, how can I not trust you? In our line of work, caution is the key to success. Besides this dress, did she leave behind anything else?"

Gou Wa's father was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Gou Wa's mother waved her hands quickly: "No, no, she was only wearing this outfit when she was brought back, there was nothing else."

Gou Wa's father also reacted, "We have searched everywhere in the vicinity, and there is absolutely nothing left."

Lai Pi Si's eyes darkened and he said, "Her clothes are not simple. Don't bring trouble to us for a small amount of money. Even if there is something, I don't want it. Whoever finds it belongs to them. But if you sell it for money, you may get into big trouble. You better take care of yourself!"

Gou Wa's parents looked at each other and saw "what a pity" in each other's eyes.

Lai Pi Si blinked his shrewd eyes, which were as big as green beans, and his shrewd pupils rolled around in his eye sockets. He knew that these two people must have hidden something.

He was not in a hurry to find out what was hidden. He would wait until the guy made a move and then come back to have a talk with the couple.

Lai Pi Si showed his mouth full of yellow teeth and had a creepy smile on his face.

"I'll find a place where no one is around to change her clothes. You can't keep these clothes. Burn them."

The couple nodded at the same time.

Laipi Si winked at Gou Wa's father, and the two of them went to the main room together, apparently to discuss the price. Gou Wa's mother excitedly went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.
