Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 68
Just when Zhao Min was in a state of confusion, the leader had already winked at the younger brother next to him.

The younger brother nodded, went back to the back of the tea shed, brought back a bundle of ropes, and tied Zhao Min's hands and feet.

Zhao Min didn't make unnecessary struggles, and let him tie him down. Zhao Min is a rational person, and he has already made a detailed analysis of the situation he is facing now.

Now that there are so many people on their side, and they don't even have a horse, it is impossible for them to escape from their grasp no matter what.

Instead of doing more resistance and suffering some flesh and blood, it is better to obey their orders obediently, at least to save some energy, and then think of a way to see if there is a chance to escape.

After Zhao Min's hands and feet were bound, her eyes were also covered with a black cloth. Immediately afterwards, she felt that she was being lifted onto a horse.

Zhao Min was put on the horse in a prone position, and behind him was the leader, who rode forward on the horse.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Min felt that his internal organs were about to be knocked out, and finally, the man behind him made the horse stop with a "wow".

Zhao Min was let down. Although her feet were bound, she still couldn't help herself, squatting on the ground and throwing up.

And her frail behavior also attracted the roar of laughter from the bandits next to her: "As expected of a little lady, her body is delicate."

Zhao Min didn't respond to their laughter. After vomiting, Zhao Min felt that two people supported him and untied his feet.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Min was pushed forward by those two people. Although she was blindfolded, she could feel that this was the way up the mountain. It seemed that she was about to be taken to the lair of these bandits.

Perhaps Zhao Min felt very tired after being bumped on horseback for a long time. This time, Zhao Min silently counted the number of steps when going up the mountain. It wasn't a very high mountain, but he was out of breath.

Zhao Min felt that the person pushing him stopped, and then the black cloth on his eyes was removed.

Zhao Min couldn't get used to the light for a while, and after blinking a few times, he could see clearly what was in front of him.

I saw that I was at the gate of a cottage with the words Heifengzhai written on it.

Looking at the name of this cottage, Zhao Min couldn't help complaining in his heart: Heifengzhai, what the hell name?

"Boss, you are back, what have you gained today?"

Before Zhao Min saw the whole village, he saw some people pouring out of it.

The leader just now threw his saber to the side, and those who came out reached out to take the saber,

A group of people looked at Zhao Min behind him very curiously, and the boss pointed at Zhao Min: "This is my best harvest today. Let's have a drink and eat meat tonight, let's celebrate."

"Okay, thank you boss, congratulations boss, you got another beauty."

The people around booed and congratulated, one after another.

After Zhao Min was escorted to a nearby room by two people behind her, the door was closed, she was pushed to the ground, and the sound of the lock being locked was heard.

Zhao Min's hands were tied with ropes, but her feet were free. Regardless of the pain in her body, she stood up and looked out the door from the room.

Although the window was covered with a layer of paper, it was blurry, but Zhao Min could roughly see the scene outside the house.

Outside the house, dozens of people gathered in the village. The owner of the village was standing on a wooden table and talking, and the people below were listening carefully, as if he was having a meeting or something.

Zhao Min sighed, how could he escape with so many people, besides, he might not be able to run down the mountain in the wilderness, so he would be caught back, right?
Zhao Min felt a little discouraged at the moment, walked to the chair next to the table and sat down.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Min heard the sound of the door being unlocked, and then saw a woman enter with a basin of water.

Zhao Min looked at her, and did not dare to speak easily, not knowing whether it was an enemy or a friend.

The woman looked at Zhang Min's appearance, sighed, brought the basin to her side, wet the cloth she was holding, wiped Zhao Min's face clean, and showed a surprised expression.

Zhao Min struggled at the beginning, and didn't want her to wipe his face clean, but his hands were tied, and finally she wiped them clean, and all his previous disguises were useless.

The woman looked at Zhao Min's beauty, stretched out her hand, touched her face lightly, and muttered, "I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse."

After hearing the woman's voice, Zhao Min was no longer reserved, and asked the doubts in his heart: "I don't know who this sister is?"

She threw the step in her hand into the basin irritably, went to a chair beside her and sat down: "Same as you."

"Are you also tied up here? What's the mountain terrain here? Have you never thought about escaping?"

Zhao Min asked several questions in one breath, but the woman kept her mouth shut, she didn't speak any more, her mouth was tight.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Min seemed to be wary of him, so he didn't ask any more questions, it was just a waste of words.

After the woman sat beside her for a while, she picked up the basin and walked out. Zhao Min heard the familiar sound of locking the lock again.

But after a while, his door was pushed open again, and the village owner came in, and after seeing his appearance, he laughed loudly: "I never thought that the little lady would be so beautiful after washing her face."

Zhao Min lowered his face and closed his eyes, unwilling to talk to him, but the village owner was not annoyed either.

He even stepped forward, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and untied Zhao Min's hands. Seeing the red marks on her wrists from being strangled by the rope, the village owner even touched her twice.

Zhao Min withdrew his hand vigorously, resisting his touch.

"It's all because they are too rude. You see, they strangled the little lady's wrist."

Zhao Min heard some noisy voices, raised his head and saw that behind the village owner, the door was already crowded with onlookers, and immediately lowered his head, unwilling to see them.

Seeing her like this, the village owner thought she was shy, immediately waved his hand, and shouted at the people outside the door: "Everyone is free and has nothing to do? Get out of here!"

The person who was watching the show at the door didn't feel scared because the village owner was angry, but ran away with a playful smile on his face.

The village owner called to stop the last person walking: "Xiao Liu, go and call the old cousin. Show the little lady the wound on her wrist."

"Come on, boss."

After the little brother got the order, he ran away and disappeared. Then the village master turned his head and saw Zhao Min still bowed his head, and walked carelessly to the chair next to him and sat down.

"Well, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Wang Dazhi."
