Tang riddles

Chapter 52

Zhang Ruohan felt that she might have a premonition of what would happen tonight, otherwise how could she toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep?Although since the Ci'en case, it has been difficult for her to maintain a state of stillness, and it is also difficult for her to obtain a complete sleep.

But she didn't expect that what she predicted would happen to her.

She regretted it, even if she couldn't sleep, she should stay in the house, even if she really wanted to go outside to get some fresh air, she should let Wu Ya and Qianhe accompany her, but it was as if she had been possessed by a demon, she put on her clothes alone, on deck.

The river wind at night is like a knife scraping, cutting through the barrier of thick clothes and easily invading the muscles and bones.In the dark night sky, the dark and thick soil, the Miaomiao River runs from the west to the east, and the sound of the waves repeats regularly throughout the night, like the pulse between heaven and earth.All of this made her suddenly feel that she was insignificant, no different from an ant.

But when a big hand covered her mouth and nose covered with a thick strip of smeared powder, she really turned into an ant to be slaughtered. Gradually confused.An indescribable strange fragrance filled her nostrils, making her mind instantly heavy as if it had been poured with mercury.

Who did it to her?Why do you want to stun her?Where are they taking themselves?

Three consecutive questions were raised in her heart, but her state did not allow her to think and come up with an answer.In the last scene before her consciousness became blurred, she lost her balance, was wrapped around her top-heavy, and fell headfirst into the river.The piercingly cold river water wrapped her tightly and tightly in an instant, without leaving a single gap. The coldness was like the coldness of Ling Chi's punishment. The blade cut the flesh little by little, and finally cut into the bones.She swallowed several mouthfuls of river water subconsciously, and the smell of the earth made her want to gag.She didn't know how to swim, and her hands and feet were bound by the waves immediately, she was flailing wildly, struggling, but sinking bit by bit.She couldn't breathe, and a lot of water choked in, and she was about to suffocate.

Finally, an arm roughly strangled her neck, dragging her to nowhere, she couldn't help herself, and this arm was her only lifeline now.In the end, she seemed to hear Chizuru's cry, but she couldn't answer anymore.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a hard wooden board. Immediately, her lungs swelled. To the point of spitting it out.

"Brother, that girl is awake..." She heard a man talking.

"So what if you wake up, the rope is tied, this woman has no strength to resist, just keep an eye on her." Another man replied.

Zhang Ruohan felt the musculoskeletal ropes at her wrists and ankles, and she realized that her hands were cut behind her back and she was lying on her side on the boat plank.

"Brother, I'm still worried. Tell me, if you let Ah Mao and Ah Jin run overland, will something go wrong?"

"What's wrong? Shut your crow's mouth. There are a few of us driving sampans to attract attention. The officers and soldiers must think we have all gone by water. Me and you, two women, four old guys, I have lived enough, even if I am caught by the officers and soldiers, I will die if I die. Ah Mao, Ah Jin, Ah Zhong, Ah Mei, the four juniors are still young and cannot break the roots of my Zhou family. Otherwise, why would we To take such a painstaking revenge? Have you forgotten who slaughtered our entire Zhou Family Village back then?"

"But, just run away, why do you want to arrest this woman in white?" At this time, a middle-aged woman's voice sounded again, and they all spoke with a strong accent, which made the dizzy Zhang Ruohan listen It's hard to get up.

"Ignorant girl, you know nothing! This woman is sleeping on the official ship. Judging by her wealth, she must be the family member of some high-ranking official. Taking her captive will only benefit us and not harm. Those high-ranking officials must be afraid of her." You are afraid, even if you find us, you dare not do it. Do you really want to die? I am looking for a way for us to survive."

"Yeah, I also think that if we kidnap this woman, we will have an extra insurance policy. Sister-in-law, just trust your brother, he knows more about this than us." Another female voice said.

According to their current conversation, Zhang Ruohan roughly judged their relationship.An elder brother, a younger brother, and two wives, a total of four people, should be all the gangsters who kidnapped her.She heard the officials in charge of the case discuss the case, and at this time she also guessed their identities—Zhou Da, Wednesday, Zhou Da's wife Zheng Shi, and Zhou Zhou's wife Feng Shi.

"But brother, if the officers and soldiers can't find us, you take this woman with you, and we have to feed her more." Zhou Zhoulang asked.

"Why are you so stupid? How much food can she eat as a woman? Just feed her some bran and water every day, as long as she can survive. When the limelight has completely passed, and there are indeed no officers and soldiers, we will kill her quietly. Buried, who will know?" Zhou Da said viciously, and then he raised his hand, grabbed Zhang Ruohan's messy and wet long hair, and raised his face to have a look.Zhang Ruohan closed his eyes and did not resist.That Zhou Dahu smiled wretchedly:

"This woman is so fucking beautiful, maybe my brothers and I can enjoy the blessings before she dies." Then he tossed Zhang Ruohan's hair angrily, forcing the back of Zhang Ruohan's head to hit the board of the ship, hitting her hard She was dizzy, and her brain ached.

Zhou said angrily:

"Huh! These dog officials only know that they are enjoying the good fortune, and they don't give us ordinary people a way to survive. I will take their lives, rob their women, and let them also taste the taste of family ruin!"

On Wednesday, he secretly pursed his mouth. What Zhou Da said now is very domineering, but what did they dive into the official ship for?At first, they didn't plan to take this woman away at all. They planned to board the boat and kill the official surnamed Shen while all the officials were asleep.The eldest brother is very jealous of this person, saying that this person may have seen through everything.

In the end, the eldest brother still didn't dare. He said that the official surnamed Shen was not weak, and he was also very alert. If he sneaked into the room to kill someone, he might not succeed.Just at that time, they suddenly saw this woman coming to the deck, and the eldest brother took her away on a whim.

"Third brother, why do you still keep this rag? Throw it away quickly, before you accidentally inhale it into your nose and make yourself dizzy." Zhou Da noticed that the rag was still wrapped around the back of Wednesday's hand. Mengren's rags, said.

"Brother, don't tell me, the drug you made is really powerful!" Wednesday smiled.

"Hmph, bumpkin, what do you know? This drug was given to me by the saint. It's a fairy thing. It's a piece of cake to deal with mortals?"

"You keep mentioning that saint, I've never seen it before, what kind of woman, did you provoke some vixen outside?" Zheng couldn't help but said.

"Men talk, why do women interrupt! The saint is the spokesperson of the holy Lord. The saint said that sinners will be punished. So many things are taught by the saint. She is a great prophet. Everything I know. You see, I did what she taught me, but didn't I fool those high officials around?"

"However, the official surnamed Shen was not deceived by that holy woman." Zheng said.

"Shut up, and then I'll slap you!" Zhou Da was furious, and Zheng didn't dare to say any more, but she was still secretly unconvinced.

When they were arguing, Feng Shi said:

"Hey, I think this woman is weak, and it's just spring. The river is so cold, her lips are so cold that her lips are purple. Will she freeze to death?"

"Why are you such a mother-in-law? If you are afraid that she will freeze to death, then find something to wrap her in." Wednesday said impatiently.Zhou Da on the side didn't say anything, he took his Miao Dao and sharpened it on his own.

After a while, Zhang Ruohan heard footsteps, someone approached, and then something rough and thick like dry grass covered her body, and she guessed it might be a coir raincoat.

"Girl, don't blame us...If you want to blame, blame you for being born into a wealthy family and marrying the wrong person." Probably seeing Zhang Ruohan's miserable appearance, Feng muttered in a low voice.

"Stop talking nonsense! Come back to me!" Zhou Da was very vigilant, and when he heard Feng's talking with Zhang Ruohan, he immediately scolded.

Feng Shi did not dare to disobey, and immediately left Zhang Ruohan's side.

After hearing Feng's words, Zhang Ruohan's originally uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, she closed her eyes silently, and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.

Ignorant and troublesome people, only know how to blame others, it is difficult to achieve great things.She no longer disdains to have common knowledge with them, she and they are completely living in two worlds.But today, it made her more knowledgeable. If she hadn't followed Shen Sui on this trip, she probably wouldn't have encountered such a thing in her life.In this world, there are really everyone.

Thinking of Shen Sui, Zhang Ruohan's mood suddenly became a little complicated. The reason why she is so calm now is because she found that she had always firmly believed that Shen Sui could find her and save her as quickly as possible.But why she has such a belief, she herself is not quite clear.Is it because of seeing Shen Sui's superb reconnaissance ability and thinking ability?Or is it because... I don't know how to trust her?

The moment before she was kidnapped and fainted, the first person that came to her mind was not Qianhe, not Wuya, unexpectedly not Chishi, but Shen Sui.It's the scene of Shen Sui standing in front of her helplessly, covering her cheeks, feeling extremely ashamed; it's the scene of Shen Sui taking care of her in every possible way along the way; it's the Shangyuan Festival, the silver-faced gentleman who helped her out The scene; it was also the scene when they met for the first time in the Mercy Plum Garden.

Since the appearance of this person, she has firmly occupied her mind and heart, and her mind is so disordered that she can no longer keep her heart calm.She repeatedly told herself: You care about him so much because of Chishi.But she knew that she cared so much about this person, and it didn't stop there.She seemed to have some unspeakable feelings for him, which she was extremely reluctant to admit.This made her feel extremely ashamed and guilty, because she never thought that one day she would betray her feelings for Akashi.

Although she still didn't know whether she really fell in love with this person, she knew that a crack had appeared in her heart, and it was no longer a solid wall.

Putting these aside, she has almost no way to save herself at the moment, anyway.The influence of the drug still remained on her, and now her hands and feet were weak and powerless; she was on a boat surrounded by vicious gangsters, and there were rolling waves outside the boat, and she did not know how to swim, even if she broke free from the shackles and landed Entering the water is also a dead end.Perhaps, she still has a chance to get out of danger when she lands, but she doesn't know exactly where these four people are going to take her.

She could only pin her hopes on Shen Sui.Since the hope of life is in the hands of others, she doesn't have to worry, life and death are fate, if her life should not die, she will be fine today; Taking her in, Zhang Ruohan still doesn't have the ability to change her fate against the sky.Maybe God took pity on her for waiting too long in this world, and wanted to invite her to reunite with Chishi, so she should be happy.It's just that she has become an unfilial daughter in this life, so she can only pay back the debts owed to her relatives in the next life.

Although her mood was calm, her body suffered unbearable stimulation.She was already in the most painful period for women every month, but when she encountered this incident suddenly, she fell into the cold river in early spring, and her whole body was extremely wet and cold.Now, I can't stop playing pendulum.She felt that her body didn't have the slightest bit of temperature, but her face and forehead were scorching hot.There were heart-rending cramps in her abdomen. The extreme pain made her break out in cold sweat, and the sweat merged with the river water that drenched her whole body. She was like a dying fish after landing, experiencing the most painful torture in the world.If someone took off the bamboo hat and coir raincoat covering her body at this moment, one could see that her complexion was frighteningly white, turning blue like a dead body.

The most terrible thing was that the white clothes on her body couldn't cover up her lower body, which gradually turned red, and the menstrual belt was soaked in water, losing its function of absorbing moisture.She must not let those gangsters see her in a mess now, that would be more uncomfortable than killing her.She is a descendant of the Zhang family in Lingnan, and the daughter of Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Qujiang. She has such a noble status. For her, the pride of her status has melted into her bones, and she cannot allow anyone to insult her in any way.Her posture in front of people must always be elegant and noble, without the slightest gaffe.

If her personality is insulted because of this, it will be a huge blow to her.Even if she is really rescued afterwards, she will still be tortured by the humiliation she has suffered today, and it is difficult to be freed.

Thinking of this, her heart became colder and colder, so cold that she burst out with killing intent.This was the first time after the tragedy that year, the killing intent welled up in her heart.

She knew that she had broken the precept, practiced for sixteen years, lost her mind, and fell short of her achievements.Perhaps, she has never kept the precepts, and she knows that for so many years, she has always kept the seeds of hatred and surlyness in her heart.Cultivating Buddhism cannot completely eliminate these things, but can only temporarily bury them and maintain a superficial peace.When Nanhai Shenni saw her back then, the first thing she said was: "You must learn to control your hostility, otherwise, you will ruin your whole family."

Suffering like this, she could barely feel the passage of time, she began to have tinnitus, her consciousness became more and more blurred, the pain was almost unbearable for her, and she knew that she was about to faint again.But she held on, trying to hold on, trying to hear the gangster's conversation again.Unfortunately, her body no longer allowed it.

In the chaos, it seemed that she had gone through the whole chaos. Finally, the boat stopped, and she heard "dongdong", the sound of footsteps on the board of the boat, and then there was a sound from far to near, which gradually became clearer.

"Third brother, you go up first and put down the rope. Then both of you go up together for me, and I will take this woman in white up last."

There was a lot of noise around her, and there were heavy gasps from men and unstoppable exclamations from women in the middle. Finally, she felt that someone helped her up, and the ropes that bound her hands and feet were untied. A rope passed through her armpits and wound several times around her waist and abdomen. Immediately afterwards, a strong masculine breath rushed to her face, and the uncontrollable stench stimulated her nasal cavity. She seemed to be bound in that week-old Immediately afterwards, Zhou Da led her to climb up slowly bit by bit.

The feeling of being suspended in the air was very uncomfortable, and her body sank without any support.Zhou Da didn't seem to care about it, and there was a terrifying brute force on her body, leading her to climb up bit by bit.On the way, Zhang Ruohan tried to open her eyes, and she was frightened. She found herself in a dark cave surrounded by rock walls, and there was a long crack on the rock wall directly opposite. Entrance.At her feet was the river overflowing with caves. She reckoned that she was hanging on a cliff more than ten meters high. The sampan was hard to recognize in the pitch black.

And in the faint light of the sky, she could see that on the cliffs on all sides, there were densely packed hanging coffins, arranged in a disorderly manner, and the caves were filled with cold wind, whining, like the wailing of innocent souls .

With a palpitation, she closed her eyes again.

The time was really long, and when Zhou Da finally came to the cliff with her on his back, she thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, an accident happened suddenly.

She suddenly heard Zhou Da shout out in horror:

"Who!"

Immediately afterwards, she felt that Zhou Da began to wrap her around and run quickly to the left.But after running a few steps, she suddenly heard Zhou Da's miserable howling, and then she lost control and fell to the ground following Zhou Da. The smell of blood came, and she felt Zhou Da's body trembling and dying quickly.

The rope that bound her and Zhou Da was suddenly pulled away, and she smelled a strange fragrance that she had never smelled before, and she struggled to open her eyes, but what she saw was a pale and terrifying Asura mask.The mask seemed to be smiling, but it also seemed to be crying, revealing an incomparable hypocrisy and evil.The person wearing the mask was a tall, thin man, covered from head to tail in a heavy robe, and a hood over his head, so he couldn't see his figure.His hands were gloved, like iron claws, and his strength was more terrifying than Zhou Da. He suddenly grabbed Zhang Ruohan's neck and lifted her up with one hand.

Immediately afterwards, he held Zhang Ruohan back to the edge of the cliff that Zhou Da had climbed up like this, and hung Zhang Ruohan off the cliff.As long as he let go, Zhang Ruohan will surely fall.

The man didn't say a word, just hung Zhang Ruohan on the edge of the cliff with one hand, not knowing what he was going to do, and when he would let go.Zhang Ruohan was seized by great fear, no matter how much she struggled, it seemed that she was doing nothing.She was not afraid of Zhou Da, but she felt extremely terrified of the masked man in front of her.For the first time in her life, she was so afraid of an entity, the person in front of her.This person seemed to be quietly admiring her dying struggle, admiring the futile desire to survive when a living being was about to die, and savoring the fear emanating from the slaughtered object.

"Let go of her!" Suddenly there was a violent roar, like a thunderbolt.The masked man was not surprised, but at this moment, he let go as if he had just grasped the timing. Zhang Ruohan immediately lost his only support, and his feet were empty, and he fell off the cliff.

"Ah!!!!" She heard a furious roar resounding on the cliff, "clang", the sound of a sword being unsheathed, "clang", the sound of swords and soldiers clashing, everything was as fast as lightning.

Then, a figure in Tsing Yi jumped out of the cliff and appeared above her.The man put his limbs together and plunged down, chasing after her.She fell much faster than she could, and soon bullied her.

"Lotus Maid!!!!" The visitor shouted, her face seemed to coincide with someone in memory.

"Chishi...help me..." She stretched out her hand, the tears from the corners of her eyes rolled upwards for the first time, hitting the visitor's cheek.

Immediately, she fell into a warm embrace.

She can be full of courage, hope and light, but also fear, confusion and even despair. She is a living mortal, and she is also an extraordinary person.
