Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 226 Three Lanes

The light of day suddenly flashed across my eyes, and the sound of people burst into my ears.

Liu Qingcao sat up from the bed, her eyes were sleepy and she looked annoyed when she got up.

"It's the same as the school district room. You can't sleep here tonight..." Liu Qingcao looked out the window resentfully, slowly put on his clothes and went downstairs.

The original plan had changed because of Pan Yong's encounter. Liu Qingcao's affairs today were not so urgent.

After eating a bowl of wontons in the county town, I got up and went to Yuezao Food Store.

Liu Qingcao stood outside the Yuezao Grain Shop, looking at Zhou Xiuyun who was busy going up and down, and stopped.

Zhou Xiuyun was robbed by Gou Xingwan's men two days ago. He seemed fine, but Liu Qingcao didn't know what he was thinking or whether he was frightened.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, how are you? Are you still used to it?" Liu Qingcao walked into the store with a smile, pretending not to know anything.

Zhou Xiuyun paused while calculating the accounts, then raised his head and looked at Liu Qingcao with a smile.

"Get used to it, girl."

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I just saw you in a panic. What happened?" Liu Qingcao came to understand the situation today. After all, Pan Yong didn't know why Gou Xingwan wanted to rob Zhou Xiuyun.

Zhou Xiuyun's eyes evaded, and after a long while, she spoke in embarrassment.

"Girl, two days ago, a man passed by the grain shop and wanted to recruit me as his concubine. I am already the girl's wife, so naturally I don't want to." Zhou Xiuyun said, looking outside the shop with worry in his eyes.

Liu Qingcao didn't interrupt and waited quietly.

"When the man saw my refusal, he didn't stay much and left in a carriage. I didn't care at the time. Unexpectedly, an hour later, the man led a group of people into the grain store and wanted to take me away by force.

The man was stopped again. I am a woman and am not as strong as them. Just when I thought I was going to be taken away, Pan Yong rushed in with a large group of beggars and got involved with them..."

……

Liu Qingcao listened to her and roughly made things clear.

Gou Xingwan coveted Zhou Xiuyun's beauty, so he would rob people on the street.

The magistrate's behavior was too arrogant and self-centered, which made Liu Qingcao fall into deep contemplation.

Is Gou Xingwan really not afraid of being investigated when he does whatever he wants, or is there someone holding up this huge umbrella of power for him?
Liu Qingcao left three packets of powdered medicine for Zhou Xiuyun, carefully explained to her how to use it, and told her to pay attention to safety, then left the Yuezao Food Store.

According to Zhou Xiuyun, in addition to Pan Yong and his group's desperate fighting style that day, which made them want to retreat, there was also someone who suddenly found the man and said something happened, so the man didn't bother.

Liu Qingcao thought that this matter must be very important to Gou Xingwan, otherwise he would not let Pan Yong and Zhou Xiuyun go easily.

What is it that makes him care so much?
Liu Qingcao didn't know. At the moment, she had more important things to do, and she didn't have time to find out what happened to Gou Xingwan.

……

At the end of the dilapidated street, in the dark alleys, rats were scurrying around, black umbrellas were opened on the black and peeling walls, the green-black ground was covered with stinking water and filth that had accumulated for an unknown amount of time in the potholes.

The entire surrounding area exuded waves of disgusting and pungent smell, rushing freely in the nasal cavity.

Liu Qingcao pinched her nose and stood in the middle of the alley, frowning as she stepped out with feet covered in sewage.

A wall separates a new county into two worlds. One is very prosperous and lively, and the other is remote and desolate.

"Why did that person put this person here? He really doesn't know how to care about people." Liu Qingcao walked through this suffocating alley, looked up at the deeper and darker woods ahead, shook her head and sighed.

Pan Yong has been to this place a long time ago. Most of the people living here are extremely vicious people. A few people have committed no crimes, but they live a miserable life and are sometimes exploited by the people around them.

As she walked in, Liu Qingcao noticed a few pairs of eyes staring at her in the dark, and she was on guard. After all, Pan Yong, a grown man, had suffered a lot here.

The people behind him stopped about ten meters away. When Liu Qingcao stepped into the woods, they all stepped back, as if they were deeply afraid of the woods.

In the gloomy woods, you can faintly see a green brick path. The path is paved with dead branches and leaves, and it makes a rustling sound when you step on it.

Walking all the way inside, Liu Qingcao didn't hear a sound of insects or birds, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Qingcao saw a house with blue bricks, black tiles and red lanterns. The house looked a bit old, maybe it had been built many years ago.

However, it seems strange that such a mansion is built in such a cold and secluded forest.Pan Yong heard the news from the beggar that Gou Xingwan imprisoned a woman in the woods of Sandao Alley, and there were many people guarding the house.

The people in Sandaoxiang had been warned by Gou Xingwan, but Pan Yong and the others didn't know the method.

Liu Qingcao looked around outside the house. In fact, it was good for the house to be located in Sandaoxiang, but it was Sandaoxiang after all. She didn't understand why Gou Xingwan imprisoned a person, a woman, here.

The house was neither big nor small, with an area of ​​about one hundred square meters. Liu Qingcao held the dagger tightly in his right hand and the poison in his left hand, walking around the house from a distance.

In the dim house, there were intermittent and faint babbling sounds, which seemed like the sounds of actors and crying.

Liu Qingcao leaned against a big tree, wanting to listen for a while longer to see if he could find any clues. Unexpectedly, the sound suddenly stopped.

"..."

Liu Qingcao came out from behind the big tree and looked at the house not far away quietly, her mind spinning rapidly.

Squeak!

The vermilion door was opened from the inside, and Liu Qingcao quickly flashed into the space. For a while, there was no movement on the door, which was just ajar, as if inviting someone to come in or go out.

Liu Qingcaoxu squinted his eyes and stared around the house. After burning an incense stick, two people walked out of the door. The two of them bowed, and one of them dragged a sack into the depths of the woods. The sack left two long marks in the fallen leaves. Extending all the way inward.

Liu Qingcao came out of the space and followed the two of them to a deep pit at a distance.

"Why does this place feel more and more gloomy to me?"

"How many women have been thrown away here, throw it away quickly, I always feel like there are eyes watching us." The man glanced at the empty place behind him, his body trembled suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said to the people around him.

"Throw it quickly, throw it quickly."

The man pulled up the sack and prepared to throw it into the pit.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

woohoo...

call out……

A dull, vague low tone sounded in the empty woods, making people nervous.

"what sound!?"

The man was frightened by the sudden sound. He stopped throwing the bag and turned his head stiffly.

"Then, there is a ghost, ghost!" The man's pupils were startled, and he pointed with trembling hands at the two bloody white clothes floating in the air under the dim light. The white clothes sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared.

"Ghost, ghost!!!!"

The man threw down the sack, turned around and ran wildly to the side, shouting as he ran. The man next to him recovered from his daze and ran after him.

"..."

Liu Qingcao knew that people in ancient times were afraid of ghosts and believed in gods, but she didn't expect that this grown man who was used to seeing life and death would be so unintimidated...

"Save people first." Liu Qingcao quickly ran towards the two sacks on the ground. Just now, she clearly saw that when the sacks were dragged on the ground, the people inside moved.

Two sacks were thrown on the edge of the pit, and the people inside the bags seemed to know that there was someone outside, and the people inside twisted their bodies hard.

"Don't move. If you move again, you'll fall in." Liu Qingcao watched the sack getting closer and closer to the pit and hurriedly shouted in a low voice.

The man in the sack suddenly stopped when he heard the sound.

Liu Qingcao took the dagger forward, sprinkled some medicine powder into the air, and then dragged the sack some distance outside.

The dagger opened one of the ropes that bound the sack, took two steps back, and waited quietly for the person in the bag to come out.

She didn't believe that the person who was struggling crazily just now would not have the strength to get out.

After about five fingers, a disheveled head emerged from the sack. It was unclear whether it was a boy or a girl.
