Peasant Woman is in Her Prime

The sturdy man grabbed Jin Xiaolou and headed straight for the desert. Seeing Gao Lang and his men getting closer and closer, the sturdy man grabbed onto Jin Xiaolou's waist and rushed towards the small hill that was bulging in the yellow sand of the desert.

The small hill was even taller than a horse. Jin Xiaolou held Sier at the front and was about to ram into it, so she could only use her arms to protect Sier from danger and use her own body to protect the child.

Just as Jin Xiaolou closed her eyes to prepare for the impact, she only felt the horse soaring into the sky. Its body suddenly became light, and the horse leaped across the sand dune, its four hooves kicking fiercely as it landed steadily on the opposite side.

Just as Jin Xiaolou heaved a sigh of relief, the sturdy man behind her grabbed her shoulders and pulled hard. Then, he flipped and fell, with Jin Xiaolou being twisted and tied up, she rolled down along with the sturdy man.

Although it was just a piece of sand, falling down wouldn't hurt, but it still made Jin Xiaolou dizzy and dizzy. She quickly turned and hugged Sier who was in her embrace.

The horse was shocked, it lifted the sand and dust as it ran towards the distance. Just as Jin Xiaolou hugged Sier tightly, the sand underneath her body suddenly loosened, as if she lost weight and fell towards the bottom of the desert.

At this moment, Jin Xiaolou was shocked to the core. She first suspected that she had sunk into quicksand, but the quicksand did not slowly engulf her legs. It was as if she had fallen into a deep hole.

His vision became pitch-black, and in the blink of an eye, his butt had already fallen onto something soft and thick.

Then, a series of popping sounds rang out, and the surroundings started to light up.

Many dark human faces appeared behind the dim light.

Jin Xiaolou was extremely frightened, she hugged the child tightly, and looked around. Only then did she realize that she was inside an ancient building.

There were a few thick and sturdy pillars supporting the top of the roof. Right when Jin Xiaolou landed, a large hole appeared in the roof, and these people used wooden sticks and ropes to support a movable wooden board. With a light pull of the rope below, the wooden stick would turn around, and the person on the board would fall down.

Just as Jin Xiaolou retracted her gaze and wanted to look at the people who surrounded her, a black cloth bag suddenly appeared from behind and covered her head.

The surrounding people were quiet to the point that it was scary, all that was left was Jin Xiaolou's hurried breathing and Sier's endless crying. Someone walked forward and grabbed the child in Jin Xiaolou's arms.

"Return it to me!" Give the child back to me! " Jin Xiaolou cried out anxiously, afraid that these people who had unknown origins would harm Sier. For a moment, the place was in complete chaos as she desperately tried to struggle free from the person holding her hands.

However, the two people behind him were extremely strong, no matter how Jin Xiaolou struggled, it was all in vain, she could only continue to walk forward as she was pushed.

Fortunately, Sier's crying voice kept on coming from her left and right, allowing him to relax a little.

At least for now, they did not do anything to Sier.

They walked like this for a long time, until Jin Xiaolou could smell the smell of the sun roasting sand. Only then did the people behind him pull Jin Xiaolou to a stop.

After a moment, he looked up and saw a semi-open cave, beyond which was a vast expanse of endless desert. In the middle of the cave, high up, was a complete wolf's hide, and now, in the middle of it, a man with a shaved head and a full body of scars was sitting in the middle of it, looking down at Jin.

There were quite a few people standing beside that man. They were all men and all of them had vicious expressions on their faces.

Behind Jin Xiaolou, there was a cave that was extended towards the depths. On both sides of the cave walls, there were rows of torches. Jin Xiaolou was sure that she was being escorted out of the cave. Deep within the cave, dozens of women leaned against the shadows at the edges of the flames, looking out.

Men and women alike, they were all dressed in rags, with unkempt faces and stained bodies.

"Big brother, it's this little girl!" A man suddenly spoke out. Jin Xiaolou looked towards the source of the voice and saw that the one who spoke was the muscular man who kidnapped her from the camp. "There are three small ones, I only got one!"

"One is enough for us to eat for a while." The man on the wolf skin turned his head and spat on the ground, then beckoned with his hand.

In the depths of the cave, a woman with a head of braids was running towards him. The man carelessly pushed Sier, who was in his hand, into the woman's embrace. The woman took it and wrapped the child up with the beast skin tied around her waist, then carried him into the depths of the cave.

"What are you doing?" Jin Xiaolou rushed forward, but was firmly pulled back, "Where are you bringing my child?!"

Jin Xiaolou felt as if her wrist was tied up by two iron hoops, and was unable to pull it apart no matter how she tried.

Seeing that she was unable to break free, she immediately turned around and bit towards the man who was grabbing her. Jin Xiaolou's tiger teeth just happened to be biting onto the man's fingers, and with this bite of hers, she used all her might, and with a cracking sound, the stench of blood in Jin Xiaolou's mouth rose up. The man's fingers were almost bitten through, causing him to scream in pain as he quickly let go.

With one of her hands being freed, Jin Xiaolou ignored everything and pointed her finger towards the other side, still trying to grab onto the man's eyes.

The man jumped in shock and subconsciously closed his eyes. His eyes hurt and he hurriedly retreated.

The moment Jin Xiaolou got out of bed, without caring about the pain in her entire body, she ran towards the woman who was carrying Sier. Before she even ran two steps, the people surrounding him had all rushed over and encircled him, and hugged him tightly around her waist.

Now, no matter how hard Jin Xiaolou used her strength, she was unable to move. She could only watch as the woman disappeared into the depths of the cave.

Seeing the woman fighting so desperately, the man on the wolf pelt was a bit annoyed. "Even a sand wolf is not as difficult to fight as you!"

Then, he waved his hand, causing people to take a leather rope and tightly lock Jin Xiaolou up. Then, he ordered, "First, throw this little girl into the resting area and lock her up."

With that said, Jin Xiaolou was lifted up and carried all the way into the cave. After walking for a short distance, she reached not even the deepest part of the cave and turned left.

To the left was a small cave, which they had opened and made a shelter for. A door was set up with two slabs of stone, and there was an iron lock outside the door.

Just as he opened the stone door, a disgusting stench hit him, and he heard the bleating of lambs.

Jin Xiaolou was immediately thrown onto a pile of grass in the stone room. She rubbed her waist, which had been broken from the fall, and looked up.

It turned out that this stone room was a shelter for livestock.

Inside the palm-sized shed, other than Jin Xiaolou, there were three goats, five chickens and two rabbits.

Perhaps it was because Jin Xiaolou was a huge being that suddenly barged in, but all the animals hid far away from Jin Xiaolou, and pointed their butts at her.

However, when she saw these animals, Jin Xiaolou heaved a sigh of relief.

At least for now, they still had something to eat. When she heard the knife-scarred man say "one of them is enough for a while", Jin Xiaolou was so scared that she thought they were going to eat humans …

Since Sier was not by her side, she could not stay still. She got up and chased away the two chickens at the entrance.

Hearing Sier's intermittent wails from the depths of the cave, her heart finally calmed down.

Jin Xiaolou leaned on the door, listening to Sier's voice, while slowly closing her eyes.

She had just given birth and was both frightened and worried. Her body and mind were exhausted to the extreme. Even though the inside of the shed was in such a terrible condition, she was still sleeping soundly.

After an unknown period of time, footsteps were gradually approaching from outside the door, waking her up.

He wanted to roll over and sit up, but his entire body was aching through the gaps in his bones. His waist went soft and he fell to the ground once again.

Just now, fighting those men had exhausted Jin Xiaolou's energy, and right now, her hands and feet were so weak that she could barely sit up.

The stone door was opened by someone from the outside, the light of the fire shone in, and the person who walked in was a woman who was not much older than Jin Xiaolou. In her hands was an open large teapot, she glanced at Jin Xiaolou who was lying at the side of the door, and immediately placed the teapot to the side, then bent down to support Jin Xiaolou onto the grass mound.

The woman sighed, then took the teapot and passed it to Jin Xiaolou: "Eat some, don't be hungry."

Jin Xiaolou did not care about herself, and grabbed the woman's hand: "Where's my child, what did you do to him?"

The lady jumped up in fright after being grabbed by Jin Xiaolou, and immediately retracted her hand. She did not say anything, and did not even have the time to pull the torch from the wall as she turned to leave, locking the stone door.

Jin Xiaolou stared blankly at the tightly shut stone door, only after a long time did she regain her senses, and picked up the big pot, without caring about what was inside, she started to pour soup and water down her throat.

Only when she was full and recovered her strength would she have the chance to save Sier and escape from this place!
