Cen Yunchu watched the man run away. She opened her palm and found a fire stick inside.
That was what she touched from the man's arms when she pretended to be close to him just now.
The weather is not very hot at this time. Although a lot of new reeds have grown, most of them have dried up last year. Dry reeds are the easiest to burn.
Cen Yunchu's plan was to set the reeds on fire so that those people would either rush to put out the fire or move away quickly. In short, they would not have time to attack him anymore.
If possible, of course I want to save my life.
But if you can't, then just run into the fire and be done with it.
She blew the fire stick, but she still had some strength.
Since you want the fire to grow bigger, you need to light more places.
Cen Yunchu gritted his teeth and held on, tapping several places in succession.
The dry reeds burned quickly, and the fire and black smoke rose into the sky, and they burned due to the wind.
The people outside were still laughing and joking in a non-serious manner, commenting on Cen Yunchu's appearance.
It was only when a fire was discovered that something serious happened.
"Damn it! That bitch must have done it!"
They turned around and ran towards this side.
The leader didn't notice anything strange behind his back at this time, and was just washing himself there happily.
Cen Yunchu took advantage of the thick smoke to hide in the reeds near the river. She held the fire fold tightly in her hand, which was the only thing that could save her life.
"You little bitch! How dare you set a fire!" The leader finally discovered that there was a fire. When he touched the fire stick in his arms and disappeared, he immediately understood that it was Cen Yunchu who did it.
At this time, several of his accomplices also ran over and said, "Find that little bitch! Don't let her escape!"
"You two go up to the road and intercept him! You go to the east, he goes to the west, and I'll look along the river!" The leader immediately assigned people to split up.
By this time, the fire had already spread into a large area. If you stood downwind, even if you were far away, you would still be unbearably roasted.
Although this is in the wild, if the fire is big enough, someone will still find it.
Of course the thief now knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and maybe the people looking for Cen Yunchu would chase after him if they saw the fire here.
When the time comes, if they want to run away, they may not be able to escape.
At this time, Cen Yunchu was hiding in the dark, feeling dizzy in front of his eyes.
She couldn't hold on any longer and could only lie down on a stone, gasping for air like a fish out of water.
She was hiding upwind. If she were downwind, she would have been smoked to death.
The most uncomfortable thing for her was that her whole body was itching like ants crawling around. She had never had such a strange feeling before, and it was really worse than death.
"No! Someone is coming over there!" These thieves noticed a group of people coming from the other side, and they all said they were guilty of thieves, and they were shameful now.
"Brother, what should we do? Are we still looking for that little girl?" Several people asked the leader.
"Don't worry, let's hide first!" The leader saw that the people who came were all riding tall horses, and there were twenty or thirty people. How could they be their opponents?
Cen Yunchu said in her heart, thank God, these thieves are gone, and she can come out.
Regardless of whether the person who comes is here to see you or not, he cannot be a bad person.
She struggled to crawl out of the reed marsh. It was already very dark and she was feeling dizzy again. She couldn't see who was coming.
"Help me..." She just said this and then fell down, knowing nothing more.
"Hey, whose girl is this? She seems to be wearing a wedding dress!" A middle-aged man with a white face and a high-pitched voice pointed at the fainted Cen Yunchu and said, "Quickly go up and see what's going on."
Immediately two men dismounted and went to check.
"Manager, she fainted. What do you think we should do?"
"It's pathetic, let me see. What are you talking about? How did a girl come here? Wake her up and send her back! I don't know why her mother is so worried!" The steward said slowly and came down.
He got off his horse, walked to Cen Yunchu, and squatted down.
Cen Yunchu was lying there on his side, his hair scattered covering most of his face, and his face could not be seen clearly for a while.
"What is this child holding in his hand?" the manager said, raising Cen Yunchu's hand. Before he could see clearly what she was holding, he was already frightened by the bright red birthmark on her wrist.
"This...this is..." He was surprised and looked carefully. It was indeed not a thread or a blood stain, but a birthmark on the flesh.
He carefully reached out and pushed the hair away from Cen Yunchu's face to see her face clearly.
"Manager, what's wrong with you? Do we still want to save her?" the person next to her asked.
"Little bastard, shut up now! Has the master's car arrived?" The manager pushed those people aside to prevent them from getting close to Cen Yunchu.
"If we fight in the front line, we'll only be separated by five miles at most."
"You two go and tell the master that there is something very important," the steward said.
"Isn't it just a girl who fainted? How big of a problem could it be?" The two people were puzzled.
"Are you two tired of living?!" The manager narrowed his eyes, "First touch your heads to see if they are strong enough on your neck!"
The two shrank their necks in fear and hurried away.
"Oh, my aunt, I can't let you lie down on the ground here! Quick, take off the felt from my horse's saddlebags, spread it out here! Be careful, and smooth the ground underneath. But
Make sure there are no grass thorns or stones." The housekeeper gingerly carried Cen Yunchu onto the carpet.
He didn’t forget to tell those people: “Turn around here! Don’t even look at me!”
After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the road, and another group of people came over.
The steward hurriedly came forward and whispered to the leader: "Master, I just met a girl here, and on her wrist..."
The leader got off his horse and strode over without waiting for him to finish speaking.
At this time, Cen Yunchu was still unconscious. He leaned down and looked at her face carefully, then held her wrist and kissed the birthmark.
Then he gently picked her up and held her tightly in his arms.
"Master, where are we going?" the steward hurriedly caught up and asked.
"I won't go into the city anymore," the man said, "I'd better go back!"
The man hugged Cen Yunchu and got on the horse, and the horse team returned along the original road.
Cen Yunchu woke up from the turbulence and asked in a daze: "Who are you? Are you here to save me?"
"Be good, we're almost here." The man knew that Cen Yunchu was feeling uncomfortable, so he comforted her softly.
"I...I am the daughter of the Cen family of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion." Cen Yunchu was afraid that he would not know who she was, "If you send me back, my family will definitely thank you. Also, could you please give me a horse alone?"
, men and women give and receive without being intimate, this is not possible."
But the man didn't agree, and instead hugged her tighter.
Cen Yun suddenly felt something bad, and when he got anxious, he fainted again.
