Chapter 79: 待宰的羔羊
[Lamb to the Slaughter]
Li Qiu Ju signalled Zhang San to watch Li Haitang, she opened the window of the car, just a small slit and looked out.
The officials guarding the city were meticulous in checking the carriages going out of the city. If the other party got in the car, anyway, Li Haitang couldn’t hide in it and she would surely be caught in the act at that time.
There was another point, now she didn’t really want Zhang San and the others to get into Li Haitang’s body.
Those three are desperate criminal, took away the silver in her hand, promised to help her tie up Li Haitang, but didn’t say how to deal with the aftermath.
Li Haitang is more beautiful than her. As a woman, she is jealous. If she serves the three people comfortably, what if it turns against her?
Li Qiu Ju closed her eyes, her brain turned, the more she thought about it, the more she thought it might happen. After all, those few people are thinking from the lower body’s perspective.
“Little lady, Gege, I have aphrodisiac perfume, once, it can be an hour, guaranteed to let you experience the joy of being a woman!”
Zhang San’s mouth was full of dirty talk, talking non-stop, and when he got excited, he blew in Li Haitang’s ear.
The gap between the yellow teeth caught rotten vegetable leaves, he does not know how long these goods haven’t brushed their teeth, since the carriage is full of stinking odour.
Li Haitang stomach upwards, but her mouth was blocked, can not spit it out, which was not up and down, suffocated, her face was bright red.
His action was a step late, her hands and feet bound by rough hemp rope, the more struggle, the tighter the rope, her delicate wrists, soon hurting.
“What a self-importance!”
Li Qiu Ju mockingly bristled, very much looking down on Li Haitang, this kind of woman, born to be dependent on men. Obviously a village girl, always thinking that she is as delicate as a thousand gold ladies.
“Wuoooo……”
Li Haitang’s heart was crumbling, she didn’t know the route after leaving the city. If she just disappeared into thin air, her husband would be very anxious, right? He is so powerful, will he inquire about her whereabouts?
Li Haitang told herself, first of all to save herself, but her heart will inevitably have hope for the savage husband, from the beginning of her transmigrated over, their difficulties as they encountered along the way, are all he helped to solve, she found herself produce a dependence on the psychology toward him, as if a life-saving straw in general.
“It’s going to be our turn, no matter what, let’s get out of the city first.”
Li Qiu Ju signalled Zhang San to sit inside the carriage, she leaned against the door, her heart thumping.
“Get off, get off of the car!”
When it was the turn of the carriage where the party was, the official police officer started shouting outside again.
“Official, can you make it easy for me?”
Li Qiu Ju, with a hard heart, took out a piece of two taels of broken silver from her money bag and quickly stuffed it into the official’s hand, she covered her face with a handkerchief and embarrassedly said, “I have a rash, I can’t see the wind, I have sorrows in life, and it’s contagious.”
“What are you rash for?”
The official skilfully collected the silver, satisfied with Li Qiu Ju’s adaptation to circumstances, looked up to take a closer look and was shocked.
Li Qiu Ju eats river crab allergy, face densely packed, full of small red dots, the official again heard ‘contagious’, his face brings a touch of disgust, “Then, why don’t you hurry to close the door of the car, but want to infect others?”
“Can it…. not be checked?”
Li Qiu Ju had a face of ignorance, pretending to be honest, and took the initiative to invite the official to get on the carriage to check.
“Check my arse, you stay away from me!”
The official covered his mouth with his hand, suspecting that the other party had rubella, a disease that could be spread by contact, and with a small child at home, he was most afraid of bumping into someone with a contagious disease.
In this way, the group of people barely made any effort then leave the border city, during which Li Haitang did not find any opportunity to pass the signal.
After leaving the city, the road was open, the carriage quickly went on the official road, heading straight to Deer City, it didn’t take long before it was almost dark.
The carriage’s box were narrow and crammed with three people, Li Haitang had not been able to breathe fresh air, and after suffering for several hours like this, she was almost on the verge of fainting from the stench.
The sun was setting in the west, the distant sky was tinted with a gloomy colour, the public road was lined with mountains and fields, and the north wind was howling.
“Zhang San, why don’t we rest in front?”
The front responsible for driving the car is Zhang Da and Zhang Er, the three are blood brothers, since childhood, always having affairs with women; womanizers make their parents angry.
The three brothers disown all one’s relatives and friends— was removed from the clan, early out to make a living, specializing in doing underhanded business, even the Northwest kind of barbaric land, the three brothers have gone to make living there.
“Big brother, second brother, hurry up, we haven’t eaten for a day, we also need to eat some dry food!”
After leaving the city gates, Zhang San put away his dagger, he tied Li Haitang up in a firm knot, and on the way, he talked incessantly about his combat gains.
He likes to play with little widows the most, especially those whose men have just died. This memorial arch in honor of a chaste widow kind of widow is the best to get on, at first they are all between dying and alive (desperate), a few times down the road, finding the fun. He didn’t go but the little widows still say that he has no conscience.
The window was opened, a small slit, the cold wind blew away the strange odour inside the car, Li Haitang moved, finally felt like coming to life.
“Zhang San, this cousin of mine, is still a virgin, why don’t we sell her for a large sum of silver.”
Li Qiu Ju temporarily changed her mind and dismissed the idea of having the three brothers together to abuse Li Haitang, she had her own considerations.
it’s easier to invite the devil in than to send him away, doing business with the three brothers is like seeking skin with a tiger (to ask sb to act contrary to their own interests) she worries that she will become a fertiliser at some point and be killed and buried silently.
Beginning to seek help from the three brothers, she poured out a bellyful of bitterness, making herself look pitiful, now that she thought about it, it was the same as telling them that she had no relatives, moreover she has the status of a runaway slave. No one would know even if she died outside!
“Inexperienced one, are you sure?”
Zhang San opens the thick bamboo tube he carries with him and fills a bellyful of water, hearing that Li Haitang is a virgin girl, he looks grave, “Isn’t she married?”
“My female cousin is in the middle of filial piety (full mourning but married), but not yet rounded (consummate the marriage yet).”
Li Qiu Ju’s pure and simple speculation. According to the analysis, Li Haitang, ambitious and proud, always wanted to find a scholar to marry yet how could she marry a wild man in the mountains?!
The so-called fixed marriage arranged by Ruan, is simply nonsense. Li Haitang is in a hurry to find a receiver, pretending to marry, to deceive sympathy from the savage, but she also does not have to commit to him.
It must be said that Li Qiu Ju is a smart person, the situation in it, she guessed, is not far out.
But there was one thing beyond her thought, the original owner had changed her core, not the original Li Haitang.
“Shit, what a chick (inexperienced person)!”
Zhang San lit the oil lamp on the table and rolled up Li Haitang’s sleeve, just in time to see the red dot on the thin white arm, the sand house lizard was still there.
Li Qiu Ju’s eyes darkened, it seems, her guess is really accurate.
Zhang’s family has three brothers, eager to make money, greedy for money, Li Haitang is a virgin, for them, to find a good gold master (financial backer), backhandedly earn a vote, is a money tree.
“This time, we’re going to be rich!”Zhang San’s eyes were glowing, looking at Li Haitang, almost like a lamb to be slaughtered, he had a wide range of ways, calculating how he could sell her for more silver money.
Damn. Li Qiu Ju is seriously ill. Hopefully ML swoops in to save the day.
