The beauty of the peasant girl of crossing

Chapter 337 Lost
Sure enough, as she expected, what was hidden here was the lost batch of military rations that were supposed to be sent to the front line.

Shen Furong frowned slightly, in fact, ever since she saw the granary in this courtyard, and then thought of the relationship between Master Zhang and King Xian, she had already guessed about it.

She had to find a way to get these grains out, and she couldn't let such good grains be hidden deep in the cellar and go to waste!
After digesting all the information, Shen Furong rubbed her arms.

She thought that being accidentally abducted was supposed to be an escape script for self-help.

Unexpectedly, it is the battlebook of the righteousness of the human race.

It really is……

Kind of interesting.

Shen Furong stretched her head over, and was about to take a closer look at how the food was kept, whether it was moldy or infested with insects, when a loud voice came from behind: "What are you doing there!"

Hearing the scolding sound, she felt bad, and was discovered by the guards, so she had to bite the bullet and turn around, thinking about what excuse to choose to prevaricate, but someone spoke faster than her:
"I asked you to carry the bamboo sticks, why are you running there? You can't do anything well, you are clumsy!"

Shen Furong turned her head to look, and saw that the person speaking was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, her face was covered with dirt, but her eyes were extremely bright.

The girl said flatteringly to the guards: "This girl is new here today, she doesn't know the way very well!"

Seeing Shen Furong standing there looking at her hesitantly, the girl beckoned to her again:
"Why are you still standing there, let's get to work quickly, we are still waiting for our bamboo strips to weave bamboo mats."

Shen Furong is not the kind of person who doesn't know what is good and what is wrong. Seeing this, she quickly ran to the girl's side, quickly tied the bamboo strips around the girl's feet together, put them on her shoulders at the same time as her, and carried them to the other end of the cellar .

This large bundle of two-finger-thick bamboo sticks weighed more than 200 kilograms. Even if the two of them carried it on their shoulders, the weight was still heavy, but they still supported themselves and moved forward, speeding up their steps as much as possible.

The guard glanced at each of them and saw that they were going to work obediently, so he strolled away.

When they got to a place where no one was around, the two put down the bamboo sticks on their shoulders.

Shen Furong straightened up out of breath, panting heavily, and asked the girl, "Who are you? Why do you help me?"

"My name is Su Qian."

The girl smiled, "You have seen the situation just now. You need help, and so do I. I can't carry so many bamboo sticks by myself. The reason why you help me is because it can indeed bring benefits to me."

Hearing this answer, Shen Furong raised a bright smile, nodded and said: "I like your frankness."

The two carried the bamboo strips to the line of weaving bamboo mats, and then found a corner, chatting in low voices while weaving bamboo mats.

Through Su Qian and Shen Furong, I found out that more than half of the girls here were kidnapped and sold by people from Wuxi Village.

They were all young girls from nearby villages. They had heard of someone missing for no reason before, but they didn't expect to be trapped in this house.

Master Zhang and the others use women as their labor force, coupled with the special terrain cover of Wuxi Village, the concealment effect of the general rations has reached the extreme.

Su Qian told Shen Furong that she was the daughter of a scholar, although she was down and out, but she was very particular since she was a child, and she was slightly better than other girls in terms of knowledge and insights.

Later, when she went to the street, she was knocked out from behind by a bad guy, and she was trafficked here.

She is timid and docile, not daring to run away.

Several girls who came here with her were all beaten to death for escaping. It was because she witnessed the passing of a fresh life with her own eyes, and she still has lingering fears.

Speaking of these, Su Qian clenched her fists, her nails dug deeply into her palms, her voice choked up:

"I don't want to die here. My father only has me as a daughter. He is old and his body is extremely weak. I have to go back and take care of him..."

Shen Furong put her hands on her shoulders, and looked at her seriously and firmly: "Don't worry, Su Qian, I won't let you die."

……

In the days that followed, Shen Furong, Su Qian and the others became hardworking ants. It was good to get up early and go to bed late, but also had to be a doormat from time to time.

Of course, she did not give up on saving herself. Whenever she had the opportunity, she sneaked under the wall of the hut in the backyard and began to collect the white crystalline substance under the corner of the wall.

These are saltpeter, also called ground frost, which can be used as medicine, as a pigment for pastels, and as one of the raw materials for making gunpowder.

However, Shen Furong wanted to use it to make signal flares.

"I got what you need." Su Qian looked around and put a large bag of black charcoal in front of Shen Furong.

"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Furong smiled.

With charcoal and nitrate, the next step is to collect sulfur ore.

"Will the thing you want to make really bloom in the sky?"

Su Qian picked up the bamboo tube on the side, opened the lid and looked inside, and asked in disbelief.

"Of course! This thing, I call it a signal flare, also called a firework cannon. It was developed by me to convey information over a long distance."

"As long as you aim high into the sky and lightly touch it with a flint, it will be ignited directly. Whoosh! Lift into the sky with one click, and a firework will bloom in the sky."

As Shen Furong said, she gestured with her hand, "At that time, the gorgeous artillery fire exploded in brilliant colors in the sea of ​​stars, and we could see it clearly within a radius of ten stars, and someone would come to rescue us soon. "

"Flare? It sounds amazing." Hearing Shen Furong's lively words, Su Qian smiled with her eyebrows bent.

Shen Furong raised the corner of her mouth, "If you like it, I'll give you two later."

"Don't, I don't know how to use this thing, it's a waste to ask for it."

Su Qian hurriedly waved her hands, then ran away laughing, turning her head while running and said, "Look at what's still missing, and I'll get it for you."

She smiled brightly, like a blooming magnolia flower, which made people feel warm.

Shen Furong thought that she would be able to bring this girl home, who was like a warm winter sun, and send her back to her father, but she didn't expect that it was the devil's hand that came earlier.

No one could find Su Qian anywhere, so Shen Furong knew something had happened!

She found a place to wash off the dust all over her body, and the mud that had been deliberately smeared on her face disappeared, revealing her original face.Bright eyes and eyebrows, red lips a little, showing the posture of a woman.

When she reappeared, greed and amazement flashed in the watchman's eyes.

"There is still a lot of work over there in the kitchen, which needs to be handled by someone. Come with me."

The guard pointed at Shen Furong, and said in a serious manner, but couldn't hide the wretchedness on his face.

The ugliness of human nature can be seen at a glance.

Also, how can there be good people in the den of wicked people?
Shen Furong lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth curled into a cold arc, and when she raised her head again, she was already timid, and asked in a pretense of a daze, "Um, what kind of work is it?"

"You'll know when you're here." The guard didn't say much, after walking a few steps, he looked back at her, telling her to follow.

Shen Furong nodded, secretly clenched the sharp knife in her hand, and then followed step by step...
