When I woke up again, my eyes were completely dark.
Yun Chu subconsciously touched his side and touched a soft little body.
After getting used to the darkness of the room, she gradually became able to see some outlines clearly. She touched the child carefully and found that there was no injury from head to toe, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She stood up and saw a small pane above her head.
Thin starlight shone in through the window pane, and there was a faint sound of someone talking.
She looked around in the small room and saw a broken basket, so she took the basket, put it upside down, and stepped on it while holding on to the wall.
Through the window pane, she saw mountains outside, several wooden houses, and seven or eight men sitting around a bonfire. They were the same group of people she met on the street during the day.
Five of the seven or eight people were injured and were constantly cursing King Ping Xi.
"I didn't kill people or set fires in the mountains. I just occasionally robbed some wealthy people who were passing by and beat them as sacrifices. Why did he end up killing us all?"
"Many brothers died at the hands of King Pingxi. We must use the blood of Prince Pingxi to worship the dead brothers!"
"Don't be impulsive!" A man who seemed to be the leader said, "We took such a big risk to catch the young prince, and two more brothers died, not just to vent our anger. The momentum of King Pingxi's suppression of bandits is too fierce , so many bandit dens have been taken away, we will definitely not be bandits in the future! The reason why I captured the young prince is to exchange this precious prince for a large sum of money. We brothers divided the money and went their separate ways. Now, why don’t you find a place to be a landowner and live a happy life?”
Seven or eight people nodded immediately.
Who wants to live with their head tied to their belt if there is a better alternative.
The two big men stood up: "Third Master, let's remove the young prince's arm and send it to Prince Pingxi's Mansion. I believe Prince Pingxi will do as we say."
The leading man nodded and threw a knife over: "Be careful not to kill anyone, otherwise we will all be buried with you."
The two big men took the knives and walked towards the wooden house.
Yun Chu was originally observing the terrain, but he was so frightened by these words that he broke into a cold sweat.
She quickly got off the basket and pushed the sleeping child hard: "Brother Yu, wake up quickly, stop sleeping, Brother Yu!"
The little guy slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he saw Yunchu, a smile appeared on his face: "It's my mother. It feels so good to see my mother as soon as I open my eyes. Hey, why is the room like this?" Hey, mother, why don’t you light the lamp..."
Yun Chu didn't bother to correct his name. She picked up the child, took off her belt and tied it around the child's waist.
"Listen to me, I will lift you up and you can get out of the window. The wall is very high. I will pull on the belt and slowly lower you down." When she spoke, she had already put the child on her back. , "After landing, don't run around, just hide in the house in the southeast..."
That house is right in front of the bandit's bonfire. Go around from the back and hide. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place...
Before she could finish her words, she heard footsteps coming from the door.
It would be impossible to send Brother Yu to climb out at this time. On the contrary, even the last road would be blocked.
Yun Chu used the fastest speed in his life to jump down from the basket, kicked the basket into the corner, and then huddled on the other side with the child in his arms.
The door lock unlocked and the door was kicked open.
"Hey, wake up!" One of the big men came over, grabbed Chu Hongyu's shoulders, and pulled the child hard.
Then he quickly rolled up the child's sleeves.
Another big man pulled out his knife and spat on the blade.
No matter how calm Chu Hongyu was, he was still just a four-year-old child, and he was suddenly frightened and burst into tears.
"Young prince, don't blame us." The big man patted his arm, as if thinking about where to cut it off, "It's worth using your arm to exchange for the glory and wealth of our brothers."
"No, don't!" Yun Chu rushed over and hugged the child, with tears in his eyes, "Use my arms, use mine..."
"You're a loyal maid!" A big man picked up Yun Chu's collar, "But you don't dress like a maid..."
"Don't you see? This is a young woman! This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful young woman! She must be King Pingxi's woman!" Another man laughed lustfully, "Did you see that this woman's belt has been untied? This is I’m waiting for you to be nourished by my brother!”
She had tied Yun Chu's belt around Chu Hongyu's waist just now. The clothes were loose and her slender waist could be faintly seen.
She shrank her shoulders and cried pitifully: "I can serve you, please let the young prince go..."
The two men looked at each other and were moved.
During this period of time, he has been chased by King Pingxi, running away day and night. It has been a long time since he enjoyed the taste of a woman.
Such a beautiful woman, or the woman of King Ping Xi, is a thought that everyone would have...
They turned around and saw that the leader, the Third Master, was still drinking and eating meat, so they quietly went over to close the door, picked up the child and threw it aside, and grabbed Yun Chu and put him on the straw.
Yun Chu didn't resist and let them all pounce on him.
She looked at Chu Hongyu, their eyes met and they nodded at the same time.
I saw a short dagger appearing in Chu Hongyu's hand. This was what Yun Chu had put on his body for self-defense, and he had just handed it to the child.
And she herself pulled out a hairpin from her head.
She raised her hand and dug the hairpin into the neck of the big man holding her shoulders.
Poof!
Hot blood spurted on her face, and the big man fell to the ground without even making a sound of pain.
The other big man couldn't believe it, and gave Yun Chu a kick with a wave of his hand: "Bitch, how dare you plot against our brother..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back. When he turned around, he saw that the child he had just thrown aside had stabbed him in the waist with a knife.
The child only had that little strength and could not cause fatal damage to him. He was so angry that he turned around and grabbed Chu Hongyu.
Yun Chu rolled over neatly, picked up the long knife that the big man had thrown on the ground, and struck it on the big man's head.
A thud.
The big man fell to the ground.
This was Yunchu's first time killing someone.
She gasped for air and quickly threw away the long knife, her voice trembling: "Yu, Brother Yu, hurry up, I will carry you up..."
Chu Hongyu was so scared that he was trembling. He tried to control himself, climbed on top of Yun Chu, and successfully climbed to the window: "Mom, don't be afraid, I will find a way to save you..."
Yun Chu deliberately kept a straight face: "Just hide and don't cause trouble. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. I have a way to save myself. Get down quickly!"
Chu Hongyu sniffed, grabbed his belt, and lowered it little by little, finally falling to the ground.
He glanced at Yun Chu and ran away in the direction Yun Chu said.
Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
She came down from the window sill and thought about how to get out.
