Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 242 Escape from the Dead
Shopkeeper Bai was busy in the yizhuang, when he heard that there was a girl looking for him outside, he guessed that it was Shen Yuan, so he quickly took off his sheepskin gloves and came out.

"Master." Shen Yu'an grinned and got out of the ox cart, she was not good enough, so she could only drive the ox cart, while Ji Xun drove the cart aside and waited for her.

""Shen girl, it really is you. Shopkeeper Bai smiled kindly at Shen Yu'an.

Shen Yuyan said: "Master, I brought you two pieces of bacon and spicy cabbage and put them in Zuixianlou. Remember to get them when you are free."

As shopkeeper Bai spent most of his time in Yizhuang, it's really not good to bring food here.

"This girl is more caring than a daughter for bringing things to the uncle." Shopkeeper Bai smiled happily. He has no children, and he really treats Shen Yuan like a daughter during this time.

Shen Yuan sneered and said: "Then uncle will treat Yuan as his daughter. By the way, uncle, what happened to the ostrich meat case?"
Shopkeeper Bai shook his head speechlessly: "That case is closed."

"What?" Shen Yuan couldn't believe it, "It ended so soon? Has the murderer been found out?"

"Murderer? There is no murderer." Shopkeeper Bai expressed helplessness, "Didn't uncle say before that there was a flood and many people were drowned? Those corpses were cut from those dead people, and they were all caught. The dead meat was sold by an old man from the next village."

"Impossible." Shen Yuan shook his head, "Uncle, you have also tested it. Those pieces of meat are clearly from women's buttocks and thighs. If they were really cut from dead people, there will always be men, women, old and young? What? Could it be so uniform?'
"Alas." Shopkeeper Bai sighed, "But County Magistrate Lin didn't believe me, and said that if I dare to speak nonsense, I will be dismissed from my post. Uncle originally wanted to go to Shenjia Village to tell you, but there are so many things happening recently that he can't get away."

"Then this is the end of it?"

"Isn't it? The old butcher was fined to lose his fortune and sentenced to two years in prison, so it's over."

"Okay, then master, go ahead, remember to go to Zuixian Tower to get bacon." Shen Yu'an was in a panic, magistrate Lin, mediocre official! Incompetent!
She said goodbye to Shopkeeper Bai with some gloom, left Yizhuang and wandered around the street with Ji Xun, went to the blacksmith shop to get a scalpel, bought some things the family needed, and returned to Shenjia Village.

Besides, Hong Luan was just about to go home after wandering around the town for a long time, when a man wearing a bamboo hat drove a carriage towards her.

"Does the girl take the car?" He asked with the brim of his hat lowered.

"How much is it to Shenjia Village?" Hong Luan casually glanced at him.

Today, after the mansion's driver sent her to the town, he went to the county to do business, and she had to take a ride back by herself.

"Five words." The man replied.

"Okay, sit down then." Hongluan said, paid the money, and got into the carriage.The coachman drove the car out of the town and headed towards Shenjia Village.

Hongluan came to the town for several days to find someone to run errands, but she couldn't find anyone. When she returned home, she was beaten and scolded by Ding Xiaolian who was in a bad mood. She was really exhausted physically and mentally.

After dozing off for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt the carriage stop, and quickly opened her eyes and lifted the curtain to take a look, huh? This is a remote forest path, not the way to Shenjia Village at all.

"Coachman? Coachman?" Hongluan was very angry, and got out of the carriage while shouting, "Do you have a problem with your ears? I am going to Shenjia Village~~uh~~uh~~" Before she could finish her sentence, Hong Luan was suddenly caught The man strangled his neck with his trouser belt from behind and dragged him into the woods.

She was so strangled that she rolled her eyes: "Let go, let me go! Uh~~" Hongluan knew that she had run into someone bad, so she quickly grabbed the belt with her hands and struggled desperately.

However, it is hateful for the gangster to start, the tighter and tighter the stranglehold, Hongluan was so strangled that foaming at the mouth, at a critical moment, he remembered that there was a gold hairpin on his head, and hurriedly freed up a hand to remove the gold hairpin and stab it hard behind him.

I don't know where it was hit, the man let go of the pain, Hongluan took the opportunity to break free, and ran desperately holding the hem of her skirt.

But the gangster didn't intend to let her go at all, and chased after her.

"Help, help!" Hong Luan yelled while running, her survival instinct gave her a burst of strength, and she ran out of the forest path like crazy.

It was also a coincidence that as soon as she came to the road, she ran into two peasant men passing by with hoes on their shoulders, and she rushed forward in panic for help.

"The girl said she was strangled by someone? Where is the villain?" The two peasants looked around strangely, but they didn't see anyone.

Hongluan managed to catch her breath, and when she looked back, she did not see any criminals, she must have seen some criminals running away on the road.

"Two big brothers, don't leave, please." Seeing that the two were about to leave, Hongluan plopped down on their knees, hurriedly took out the purse, and poured out all the money in it, "Big brother, big brother, what is this?" Where? How far is Shenjia Village from here? If you are willing to send me back to Shenjia Village, I will give you all the money."

"Did the girl really meet a bad guy?" They didn't believe it at first, they were afraid of encountering a fairy dance or something, but now they saw Hongluan took out all her belongings, so they believed her words.

"Really, of course it is true! If you don't believe me, look at my neck? It was strangled by the gangster." Hong Luan said with her head tilted, revealing a red strangle mark on her neck.

The two peasants saw that they had indeed been strangled by someone, and they hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Young lady, you really met a villain. Don't be afraid. The villain will not dare to come back with us."

"Five or six miles ahead is the Liu Family Village. First go to the village to find a carriage, and then ask someone to take you back."

"Thank you, thank you two big brothers." Hongluan was so grateful that she knelt down and kowtowed twice, then followed the two farmers to Liujia Village.

Hongluan hired a carriage in Liujia Village and found two aunts to accompany her, before she dared to return to Shenjia Village.

She was still trembling along the way, remembering that the villain was ruthless and hot, if she hadn't happened to have a golden hairpin on her head, she might have already. Thinking of this, Hongluan seemed to have escaped from death.

"Ma'am, is this far from Shenjia Village?" Hongluan huddled between the two aunts, shivering like a quail in fright.

"It's far, at least twenty or thirty miles apart.'
Hong Luan trembled even more when she heard the words. It was only afternoon when she left the town. Looking at the sky at this time, the sun was about to set. She could only blame herself for being careless. She dared to sleep in the car of a stranger, almost Murdered!
too frightening!
"I heard that many girls in the nearby villages were abducted by Ren Yazi. It's better for girls not to come out alone in the future." The two aunts were also warm-hearted. Although they also took money from her to accompany Hongluan back, they still spoke enthusiastically.

"Isn't it? I have a cousin's daughter who was abducted by Ren Yazi three days ago. I heard that she will be sold to the Western Regions as a slave and handmaiden. She will never escape for the rest of her life."

Listening to their discussion, Hong Luan felt that the villain just now was nothing like Ren Yazi. If Ren Yazi wanted to kidnap someone, she would be able to tie her up while she was dozing off, but this villain clearly dragged her to nowhere. She is so human, I just want to strangle her to death!
