Beloved Concubine

Chapter 1 Escaping Marriage and Getting Lost

"Ah! I won't marry!"

"Mom! Help me!"

Chunhong, a 14-year-old girl, was wearing a wedding gown. Four or five men and women dragged her arms and legs out of the wooden shed and thatched house.

The girl resisted desperately, and while struggling, she asked her mother for help.

However, the mother stood under the eaves of the thatched hut, helpless, crying silently.

This is a traditional custom in the villages of Nanyue Country - snatching marriages.

More than a month ago, Chunhong went to play with Baozhu's aunt in Ruanjia Village with her little sister Baozhu from the same village.I went there and never came back.

Two days later, a family named Ruan from Ruanjia Village came to propose marriage.Said that Chunhong was in their house, and his son fell in love with Chunhong and wanted to marry her.

According to local customs, a kidnapped bride should not refuse or run away from marriage, because that would bring shame to her family.

The Ruan family took out the wine and meat they had brought, and after the Hu family's hesitation, the parents of both sides agreed on a dowry.

Ten taels of silver, one hundred catties of pork, and ten chickens.This is the price for a 14-year-old girl to marry.

After a few days, Chunhong came back.

The Hu family's parents found out after inquiring that the Ruan family's son was a fool.

Chunhong does not want to marry, but the Hu family has already received the bride price.

At that time, the Hu family saw that the Ruan family was willing to offer such a lot of gifts, and felt that the Ruan family was rich, so they thought the marriage was not bad.did not expect……

Chunhong's mother was also "robbed" by her father in a robbed marriage.But they hit it off, and the mother slipped out quietly, deliberately letting the father "rob".

However, Chunhong, the situation is opposite to that of her mother.

To put it bluntly, she was lured out by Baozhu and kidnapped.

The marriage was settled, the bride price was received, and the daughter stayed at the man's house for a few days.Can you still say not to marry at this time?
Helpless, the parents of the Hu family had no choice but to let their daughter marry into the Ruan family.

Although the man she was going to marry was a fool, the Ruan family was rich.At least in the eyes of poor people like them, a family who can give ten taels of silver, a hundred catties of pork, and ten chickens as bride price is a rich family.

Chunhong is the eldest daughter of their family, and she has younger brothers and sisters below her.If she doesn't marry, their entire Hu family will be ashamed. How will her younger brother marry a wife and how her younger sister will marry in the future.

When it came time to get married, the Ruan family came to welcome the bride. When she saw that silly husband, Chunhong, who had been persuaded by her family, suddenly regretted it.So there was the opening scene.

……

"Mom! Help me! I won't marry!"

Chunhong was carried by several people from the thatched hut on the hillside to the downhill.

Suddenly, someone slipped and let go of his hand.

Chunhong, who had been struggling and resisting, took the opportunity to break free and ran desperately into the mountains.

She knew that her parents wanted her to marry, so it was useless to run home.She can only run to the mountains.

As long as they ran into the mountains, they couldn't catch her.

……

On the other side, deep in the primeval forest.

A big white snake more than two meters long climbed on a tall tree, straightened its neck, and looked around.

"Have you found your way?"

An invisible female voice asked.

The white snake looked east and west, and the surrounding mountains were high, the valleys were deep, and the forests were dense, and it was impossible to see where there seemed to be any human habitation.

"Can't see where to go."

The white snake made a boyish voice.

"Climb higher."

"I've climbed to the top of the tree."

"You find the tallest tree."

"Still talking! This way, I realized that I have been climbing mountains."

It has climbed dozens of big trees, and each tree is taller than the other.In fact, it is because the height of the hillside where the tree is located is different.

"Oh! Never mind. Or you go in one direction. Always go out."

"..."

The white snake remained silent.

It still has a sense of direction in short distances, but it gets lost when walking on the ground for long distances over mountains and ridges.

So every time it advances a certain distance, it has to climb up the tree to confirm the direction and position.

The white snake slid down from the tree and swam in one direction.

At this time, in the mouth of the white snake, there is a black stone that looks like a chess piece.The black stone is round and smooth, slightly convex on both sides, just like a Go.

……

On the other side, Chunhong fled into the mountains for four days.

She escaped the capture of the Ruan family, but because she lost her way and lost her way when she fled, she went round and round and didn't know where to get out of the forest.

Fortunately, she was a child who grew up on the mountain. She knew what food on the mountain could satisfy her hunger, and she knew where to sleep in a relatively safe place, so she was still alive after four days.

It's just that now she is exhausted and feels that she may die in the mountains.

Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful, maybe she really shouldn't have run away at that time, marry as soon as she gets married, it's better than dying here.

Strange to say, she didn't encounter ferocious beasts these days, but was bitten by poisonous insects.

The legs, hands, and even the face were red, swollen, and itchy.

Enduring the itching of wanting to cut her flesh, Chunhong found a mountain stream.

Seeing the stream, she immediately took off her clothes and soaked herself in the cold water.

comfortable!The itching on the body was finally relieved.

She was lying on the edge of a stone in the water, soaking in the water all the time, reluctant to come up.Because as soon as she left the cold water, she felt so itchy that she wanted to cut her flesh.

Chunhong was closing her eyes and soaking, suddenly, she heard something walking into the water.

She opened her eyes suddenly, thinking that there was a beast.

However, what appeared in front of her was a person.

a man.

He looked to be in his twenties, with a strong figure, a strong outfit, sword eyebrows and star eyes, like a tree of Qiongzhi.

Chunhong was a little dumbfounded.She had never seen such a handsome man.

Seeing the girl in the water open her eyes, the man said expressionlessly:

"I thought you were dead."

When Chunhong heard him speak, she suddenly remembered that she was only wearing underwear and shorts, and quickly curled up to cover her body.

"Do you know where the nearest village is?" the man asked.

Chunhong shook her head.

"I'm lost and don't know where to go."

The man frowned, stepped out of the stream, and walked upstream, a place where the girl could not be seen.

He had just been drinking water upstream, and found clothes on the ground far downstream, so he came over to have a look.

He walked in the mountains for many days, and finally met someone, thinking he could find the nearest village.Unexpectedly, it was a lost one.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Chunhong hurriedly stood up from the water, covered her chest, and shouted at the man.

The man stopped in his tracks without looking back, and said:

"I won't go, you put on your clothes first."

Although this girl is also lost, it at least shows that this place should not be far from a place with a family.

Take this girl and walk to a place where she knows the way, and they can go out.

……

On the other side, beside the stream in the deep valley.

A girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old was wearing a modern quick-drying suit, assault pants, and a pair of hiking boots.

He was squatting by the stream, handling a hare.

A big white snake more than two meters long coiled around her feet, watching her swiftly skin and open the rabbit.

"Go get some more pheasants and hares, we don't have much meat in the refrigerator."

The white snake lay lazily on the ground, making a boyish voice.

"This forest is very strange, there are no wild animals. For so many days, I only saw this one rabbit."

"Where there is a rabbit, there will be a litter of rabbits. Go find it, and take the rabbit nest away."

The white snake was lazy and didn't move.

"Don't look for it anymore, the right way is for us to get out of the mountain as soon as possible."

After so many days, they suddenly realized that walking down the mountain stream is the way out of the mountain!
