Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 137
Seeing the silence in the room, Mai Xiang also thought to herself, it seems that she must be kidnapped, if the ransom cannot be paid, will she tear up the ticket or something?

She doesn't want to die.

Thinking of death, Mai Xiang suddenly thought, if she died, would she return to modern times?She has read many time-travel novels and TV shows, and many of them returned to modern times after death.But what if you don't come back?

"What are you thinking?" The other party saw the expression on Mai Xiang's face. Although she was blindfolded, she could also see that Mai Xiang was thinking about something, which seemed to be a very contradictory thing.

"I must have thought of going to someone's house to ask for money. Girl, hurry up, whose house is it?"

"It's true that there is no money. I thought, how worried will my family be if they don't see me coming home? Will they report to the police? You might as well put me back earlier."

"Report to the government? Haha, that's asking for death. We'll get rid of you before the government comes."

"Don't talk nonsense with her, girl, you really don't want to say who you have friendship with?"

"Brother, how many times do I have to tell you to believe that friendship is like friendship between gentlemen. I'm a country girl, what can I do to make people look up to me?"

"This is what we don't understand. Say, what are you capable of? Do you know witchcraft?"

"Brother, if I know witchcraft, I will calculate that I have this calamity today, and I won't go out."

"Then there must be something special about you. Otherwise, there are many poor people in the world. Why don't you see them giving gifts to others? Girl, are you telling the truth? Our brothers don't have the patience to dawdle with you. No matter how dishonest you are Explain, we will throw you into the wild to feed the dogs."

"Didn't you say you would let me go home? You won't get anything if you throw me into the wild. Why don't you send me home, and I'll give you 100 taels of silver."

After hearing what Mai Xiang said, the other party seemed to discuss in a low voice for a while.

For some reason, Mai Xiang clearly felt that there should be three people in this room, but it was always two people who spoke, who could it be?Is the mastermind?
"Girl, you are dishonest. I heard that you rushed to the capital early in the morning to go to a rich family's house. Whose house is that? What are you going to do?"

"What can I do? My family moved, and they gave me a congratulatory gift. I'll go and thank you in person."

"Thank you? Thank you for staying in his house for three or four days, or did you rush there early in the morning?"

Mai Xiang felt something was wrong when she heard this, how could the other party know her whereabouts so well?Could it be an acquaintance?
"Don't try to deceive us, we will step on the line before we strike, and we will never be empty-handed." The other party seems to have seen through Mai Xiang's mind.

"I stayed for a few days because I came to the capital for the first time, and I wanted to take a good look at it and buy some New Year's goods to go home."

Mai Xiang also wants to test whether the other party really knows her whereabouts or is she cheating on her.

"Brother, it seems that this girl won't cry until she sees the coffin. Should I cut off her fingers or throw her outside to freeze for a few hours?"

"It's better to freeze for a few hours. Anyway, there are still three or four hours before dawn. It's the first day of the new year. Don't see red, it's unlucky."

After the other party finished speaking, someone took Mai Xiang and threw it outside. Mai Xiang shivered for a while. After these few hours, can she still survive?
"Girl, you're exhausted, think about it carefully, what to do, we brothers have gone to bed, and we'll come to interrogate you tomorrow morning, as long as you still have this life." The man yawned after he finished speaking.

"What are you talking about, she deserves to be frozen to death."

"Girl, I will give you another chance at the end. Tell me, who will redeem you? You see, you are the only one in your family who can earn money. If you are going to die, what will they do? Anyway, you have friendship with these big families. You said, is the life of your family more important or 1000 taels of silver? You must have done them a big favor, otherwise, who would have brought you something? You, don’t be too stupid, you helped them, They help you, isn’t this also mutual?”

"Girl, look, otherwise, you are too embarrassed to come forward to ask for money, we ask for money, you tell us, we use this secret to blackmail them, we are not afraid that they will not give the money, and we will not tell it You said it, so it won't do you any harm, right?"

"That's right, that's a good idea. We don't want to make it difficult for you who celebrate the Chinese New Year today. As long as you say it, we'll let you go home. From now on, you can do whatever you want," another person said.

"Two big brothers, what do you want me to say? What secrets can people have in my hands? If there is such a secret that can blackmail people, how can I still sit here and talk to you? Why don't people get rid of me sooner? Isn't killing someone like me the same as crushing an ant?"

"This stinky girl, I think it's a toast and she doesn't eat the fine wine. Let's go and let her freeze to death."

"Girl, you can't blame us. We're leaving. We're afraid that you'll be lonely, so we'll release two dogs to keep you company."

"Well, I'll give you one last chance. We'll start counting. When we count to ten, if you don't speak again, we'll really leave. One, two, three... Ten, or don't you say?"

"I really have nothing to say. Think about it, if you were in their position and you had secrets or handles in the hands of someone like me, would you be at ease?"

It's not that Mai Xiang doesn't say it, but after she says it, it will not only cause trouble for the other party, but more importantly, it will also cause trouble for herself. If her ability that is different from ordinary people is passed on, I don't know how many people Thinking about herself, and also, as long as Mai Xiang thinks of Acton's eyes, her heart trembles.

"Girl, then we can only wish you good luck. Tomorrow morning, we will release a few dogs to collect your corpse. You will die early and be reincarnated without anyone noticing it. Don't blame us."

After the man finished speaking, he blocked Mai Xiang's mouth with a piece of cloth again, and confirmed that Mai Xiang's hands and feet were bound before leaving. Mai Xiang also heard the sound of locking the door, and indeed heard that it was three people Who is that person who has not spoken?
Make sure that there is no one around me, the surrounding area is chilly, and the cold air hits people. This kind of cold soon froze Mai Xiang through, and Mai Xiang became a little desperate.

Mai Xiang tried to sense the surrounding things with her two feet while rubbing against her body and moved slowly. After a while, she finally sensed a big rock. Mai Xiang stopped and touched a stone with her own hand. At a slightly sharper place, Mai Xiang put her hand on it and began to sharpen it.

But the damn rope was too thick, and when Mai Xiang was lamenting that she would freeze to death before the rope broke, she suddenly heard the door knocking, and Mai Xiang didn't dare to move.

"Girl, you caught up with a good day today. Our boss said that today is the Chinese New Year. If it really freezes you to death, we won't bear it. We didn't get any benefits."

"What are you talking about, ask her again, if you don't say anything, just take it in and throw it in and it's over. I'll find a toothmaid early in the morning and sell it."

"Girl, have you figured it out yet?"

Mai Xiang still shook her head.

"Look, I knew that this girl would not shed tears when she saw the coffin, and she will sell it to the old bustard tomorrow."

"Girl, if you think about it tonight, if you don't talk about it tomorrow, we will really stop talking to you and sell you into a brothel."

The man picked himself up while talking, and threw himself into the cold room again. Although there was no heat, Mai Xiang felt that he was thrown on the straw. This should be a woodshed.

After the two left, Mai Xiang started to look for something to break the rope in her hand. This is a firewood room or a stove room. There must be something like a knife. Mai Xiang groped in the dark for a long time, and finally found one. Take a hatchet.

When Mai Xiang was grinding the rope with her back against the hatchet, she seemed to hear a slight movement in the yard again, and she was too frightened to move again.When I listened carefully, I felt that someone had entered the yard, but the other party did not make a sound, and Mai Xiang did not dare to move. After waiting for a long time, when Mai Xiang finally confirmed what the person was looking for, a voice said in a low voice: " Mai Xiang, I'm Huaici, where are you, can you make some noise?"

When Mai Xiang heard that it was Huai Ci, she excitedly made some movement with her feet, and Huai Ci quickly approached Mai Xiang.

"Shh, don't make any noise." Huaici said as he touched Mai Xiang, removed the cloth from Mai Xiang's mouth, and then untied the cloth from Mai Xiang's eyes.

Mai Xiang finally opened her eyes and looked around. It was dark, and she could only vaguely see that it was a kitchen. It was not big, and there was no smoke, probably because no one had lived in it for a long time.

Mai Xiang also knew that this was not the time to ask questions, Huai Ci spent a long time, but did not untie the rope from Mai Xiang's hand, because it was too dark to see anything, and finally cut it open with a dagger.Maybe it was because she was tied up for too long, or maybe her limbs were frozen. In short, Mai Xiang stood up for several times, but she couldn't stand still. To the gate of the courtyard.

The door was locked from the outside, Huaici tried for a while with a dagger, but couldn't open it at all.

"Climb over the wall, you entrust me to go up." Mai Xiang didn't dare to delay, because she just heard the sound of Huaici jumping off the wall.

After hearing this, Huai Ci put down Mai Xiang, found a big rock, hugged the stone and walked to the wall, then turned back and hugged Mai Xiang to stand on the rock, and lifted Mai Xiang up.

Fortunately, Mai Xiang has always been more agile, and now she has a strong desire to survive, so she actually climbed up the courtyard wall.

"You wait and don't move."

After Huai Ci finished speaking, he moved the stone away, took a few steps away from the run-up, stepped on the stone and climbed up the courtyard wall. He jumped off the courtyard wall first, and then caught Mai Xiang.

Huai Ci turned around the alley with Mai Xiang in his arms, and turned into another alley, Mai Xiang believed that she was saved, hugged Huai Ci and began to cry.
