During the time that Tong Erniang was in jail, she spent the most painful and desperate days in her life. Not only was she forced to drink some light broth to stay alive, but she also had to be watched by someone to defecate in times of emergency.
Although the two girls who took care of Tong Erniang's daily life were pure in nature and gentle and pleasant in speech, the same could not be said for the two men around them.
While being blindfolded and completely losing their visual senses, every word Bai Feng and Su Qing said left a very deep impression on Tong Erniang.
For this reason, she could often feel the voices of two men whispering next to her. She couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of one day being tied up and sold to others, or being snatched away to be the wife of a villager.
Tong Erniang would always feel extremely ashamed and angry when she thought about the fact that no matter what she was doing, there were always two gangsters watching her. Of course she thought about running away, and even made a promise to Murong Yan and Zichai in private, saying: "If you let me go, I will definitely come back to rescue you, and I will reward you with gold, silver, jewelry, and silk cloth afterwards."
However, this conspiracy has just begun and has already been exposed in front of other bandits.
Su Qing felt that if Bai Feng and the others didn't learn to be "bad guys" for once, Tong Erniang would suspect that they were not real robbers, so he would always take the lead to expose Tong Erniang's tricks.
The method was very simple. He first roared angrily and asked, "Hey! What are you discussing in secret?" After that, he walked over and pulled Zi Chai to his feet, pretending to force the other party to commit to him, and then used coercion and inducement to preach. : "Are you thinking of me again, madam? If you dare to whisper in front of me again, you should also imitate Tong Erniang and drink clear soup for a few days!"
Listening to Zi Chai's babbling and resisting sound, Tong Erniang couldn't help but become even more frightened, and any thoughts and plans of escaping disappeared instantly. But in a short while, she turned into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered who could only cling to Murong Yan and cry, lamenting that she was born at the wrong time.
In order to keep abreast of the changes that occurred in Woye Town, Su Qing would drive the carriage with the roof removed every day to find out the news in Woye Town, and buy some wine, meat and firewood on the way back. At this time, Bai Feng stood guard at the entrance of the cave and stood still with the others, waiting only for Tong Yao's next secret order to arrive.
They often just sit in the cave, or the two of them go to the grassy slope outside the cave to bask in the sun. Over time, Tong Erniang gradually discovered that a kidnapper would go out during the day. She knew that if she could instigate the two girls beside her, she would be able to escape!
Ever since, in order to prevent Tong Erniang from having any more delusions and continuing to act recklessly, Bai Feng also began to imitate Su Qing and do "bad things", hoping to completely scare the concubine of the strong-willed general of Woye Town.
Among the three people, the young swordsman planned to play the role of a ruthless robber, while the other two girls played the role of a good man who begged for forgiveness for Tong Erniang, and a miserable woman who was willing to sacrifice herself for the robbers.
Compared to Su Qing, Bai Feng's scoldings and scoldings were more severe and ruthless. He was taciturn and if Tong Erniang dared to do something unusual, he would immediately pull out a riding whip from his arms. It was from the carriage. Take it off and then slap it hard on the ground. Finally, Bai Feng untied the cloth covering Tong Erniang's eyes, allowing her to temporarily regain her sight.
However, what Tong Erniang saw was not a beautiful sight.
Bai Feng casually grabbed Murong Yan, took off her top in front of Zichai and Tong Erniang, exposing Murong Yan's straight shoulders, and then pressed her into the corner, the horsewhip in his hand unable to stop the ground. As he waved, Murong Yan's screams also came and went, echoing in the cave for a long time.
"Let you escape! Let you escape! Thanks to Tong Erniang's unusual status, we can't hurt her flesh, otherwise, we won't be able to sell it at a good price!" The young swordsman now has a thick mustache. A lot, which makes him look more like an unreasonable bandit.
From Tong Erniang's perspective, this horrific sadism is undoubtedly true. In fact, it was just an illusion created by Murong Yan and Bai Feng to take advantage of the lack of sunlight in the cave.
When Tong Erniang saw the two girls around her being tortured like this, she would never have imagined that everything around her was just a strategy and a trap. She was so convinced of what was happening that she gave up all hope of survival before she could survive the next day.
After spending three days in the cave, with few opportunities to speak and see, Tong Erniang gradually began to trust Murong Yan and Zi Chai even more, and began to talk about things that she had not done or had done in the past. Good things and bad things in life.
According to Tong Erniang, destroying the friendship between Tong Yao and Xia back then was a decision supported by everyone in the family. No matter how good the relationship was, Tong Yao could not make his own decision.
"Although I have always hoped that Yi'er could become this general..." Tong Erniang just sat in the cave, and unconsciously said something on her mind, as if she was talking about her last words: "But this unworthy man, he actually Do you think about having an affair with a man all day long? Haha, it’s all my mother’s fault!”
The others were shocked when they heard these words. When Murong Yan saw Tong Erniang's emotional breakdown, she felt extremely sympathetic. She didn't expect that the other party would not even keep this bit of family scandal.
"Sister!" She and Zichai wailed, then hugged Tong Erniang and started sobbing, trying to comfort her.
As a bandit, Bai Feng has to fulfill his responsibilities. Before the three women could cry for even a moment, he suddenly drew out his sword and threatened them majestically.
At the same time, a familiar greeting came from outside the cave.
"Brother Bai, come out quickly and take a look!" Su Qing, who was supposed to investigate the situation in Woye Town, suddenly turned back today and brought back an escort who was also riding a horse.
The escort had a sack fixed on his horse, and he simply came to deliver the goods for General Tong. He said, "General Tong ordered you to wait for an opportunity to help Tong Erniang and the woman in this sack escape on their own. "
After speaking, the boy untied the knot on the sack and revealed a small face. When Bai Feng saw this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "How could it be Mrs. Xia?"
The escort took down the sack and handed it into Su Qing's hands. He replied, "I don't know who this person is. I just followed General Tong's orders and designed to capture her."
After hearing this, Bai Feng thought for a moment, then took the secret order and respectfully sent the other party away.
Su Qing supported the woman, still confused, and asked Bai Feng: "Brother Bai, what do you think this boy general is planning?"
"My intelligence is not much better than that of General Tong, who has great military exploits. I can only make a slight guess." Bai Feng said: "Perhaps this is to use Mrs. Xia to change Tong Erniang's mind?"
After that, the young swordsman carefully helped Mrs. Xia from Su Qing's hands, put her on his shoulders, walked through the narrow hole and returned to the cave, and said to the three women who were still crying: " Look, there’s a new girl here to accompany you!”
After hearing this, the three people immediately stopped crying and wanted to see which poor woman was here.
