The officer was stunned for a moment by the woman's words.
Immediately I understood.
One hand dishonestly touched the woman's slender waist, and his eyes looked up and down wildly.
"By coincidence, there is still a bowl left. Madam, would you like to try it?"
The woman asked again: "Are there any more cakes?"
The official pretended to hesitate, but his hand lingered on the woman's waist.
Taking advantage of the latter's attention, he pinched him hard with his hand at his waist.
A gasp escaped the woman's mouth.
The soft cry was as soft as down, tickling the tip of the heart, making the ears feel hot and the tailbone numb.
"Hiss—this little lady's voice can make one's soul fly away. If you go to the Jiaofang, you will be among the top in a few days..." The official relaxed his grip and said, "Well, there are pancakes, yes, then.
It depends on how well the lady takes care of you."
Although this woman was sloppy and had an unappetizing odor lingering around her, the conditions on the distribution road were difficult, and who wouldn’t smell bad on a hot day? In addition, this official had not touched a woman for a long time, so it was just right for him to have someone recommend him a pillow mat. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile to himself.
No wonder colleagues all like the job of escorting female prisoners. Not only is the reward generous, the job is easy, but there are also such blessings on the road.
Who knows——
The woman raised her hand to cover the back of his hand, and gently took it away under his puzzled gaze.
"What do you mean?"
The official was about to get angry, but the woman said calmly: "I have already given birth to a son and a daughter. In terms of color, how can I compare with those tender little girls? I am worried that the service will not be attentive, not as good as -
—"
As she spoke, she turned her gaze towards Shen Tang.
The officer understood it as soon as he heard it and sneered: "What a vicious woman! She serves you, but you drink soup and eat cakes?"
"Mr. Lang doesn't know something. This girl was born and raised by the slave family."
"You gave birth to it?"
It's obvious from his expression that he doesn't believe it.
How can any biological mother personally push her daughter into a man's arms and waste it for a bowl of broth or a piece of cake?
"The gentleman at the beginning is right. When things come to this point, it will be a matter of time before she enters the education center and is bullied. Rather than letting this innocent girl become a lowly untouchable and have regrets all her life, it is better to ask the gentleman for a favor.
If you are satisfied, she will suffer less on the road."
The woman sang, chanted, and beat her, seemingly sincerely, and people who didn't know better thought she was some kind of loving mother.
The official was stunned by these words.
Is there such a wonderful thing?
Not only can you enjoy the blessings of beauty, but you can also do good things and accumulate negative virtue?
Shen Tang: "..."
Are you polite?
How can you, a woman with a bone age of at least 20 years old, give birth to a daughter of 11 or 12 years old?
If you want to be a madam and harm her, just tell her, yet you have the audacity to be her mother!
Totally intolerable!
Unable to pretend any longer, Shen Tang woke up slowly and looked directly at the woman with his dark eyes.
The officer's eyes wandered between the two of them: "Why doesn't she get close to you?"
The woman said: "This child was born with a brain disease. Sometimes he is crazy and sometimes stupid. He has always been carefully cared for. He was also born with fine skin and tender flesh. He has no problem serving others..."
"Why is the surname 'Shen' not 'Gong'?"
Not all of these female prisoners could get their hands on them. Out of caution, the official glanced at the tattoo behind Shen Tang's ear.
Her surname is not Gong, and she is young. Considering the list of prisoners, she should be just a maid.
Unexpectedly, the woman then followed up with a sophistry: "She is the eldest daughter of the slave family and her deceased husband before she was admitted to the Gong Mansion, so she naturally takes her late husband's surname. The master's family thought that she was lonely and helpless, so they showed kindness and allowed the slave family to take her into the mansion to raise her." ”
Official: "..."
Since she is not an important female prisoner, she can take it if she wants it.
He chose Shen Tang.
As for this woman...
It's still far from Xiaocheng, but there are plenty of opportunities.
He also "keeps his promise" and really gives the woman a bowl of warm broth and a pancake.
He said hello to his colleagues on the night watch and took Shen Tang to the back of the hill in the distance.
The night was dark, and only a vague black shadow could be seen.
The night watchman joked: "Let me have fun when I'm done, don't think about eating alone."
"This is natural. If you forget the benefits, no one can forget the brothers."
Shen Tang's fingers hanging by his side curled up, and his thoughts became more active.
If you refuse now and offend these officials, the situation may become irremediable.
But if it’s in private——
On the contrary, it is an excellent opportunity.
A low-ranking official is much easier to deal with than a group of them.
Although he did not have a complete memory, his intuition told Shen Tang that the low-ranking official was his younger brother!
Her eyes moved slightly, then she lowered her eyelids silently, trying her best to play the role of an idiot with a brain disease.
When Shen Tang was taken away, the woman was sipping broth. When she raised her head, she happened to meet a pair of deep and dark eyes, as if they wanted to see through her soul and make her unable to hide.
The hair on the woman's head stood up at the sight.
He cursed: "Madman."
Behind the small slope is a field of wild grass. The grass is as high as a person's waist, dense and sultry.
Because Shen Tang was "born with a brain disease," officials were not afraid that she would run away.
Half-kneeling on the ground, he lowered his head anxiously to unbuckle his belt.
"Uh——"
There seemed to be a black shadow passing before his eyes. Before the officer could realize what it was, his neck was strangled tightly from front to back by a thick hemp rope.
Sneak attack!
How could he have imagined that Shen Tang would suddenly attack?
But no matter how bad he is, he is still a low-ranking official. Isn't it easy to deal with a female prisoner trying to escape?
Immediately mobilize your courage.
The arms swelled several times visibly, and the muscles were as hard as rocks, full of explosive power.
This power is enough to weigh five stones, and it can easily smash her head, twist off her hands and feet, and crush all the bones in her body.
The officer effortlessly broke off the thick hemp rope, turned sideways, and struck out as fast as lightning, preparing to capture Shen Tang. Unexpectedly, Shen Tang punched faster, almost leaving an afterimage. He struck quickly, hard, and accurately. Hit him on the chin, and you could vaguely hear the sound of water sloshing in your head.
Seizing the gap, Shen Tang suppressed him with all his strength, restrained his wrists with his backhand, and choked his roar to death with the other hand.
Click click click——
There was no hesitation in taking action.
Two bone cracking sounds sounded almost simultaneously.
Shen Tang: "..."
Looking at the officer with his head tilted at a strange angle, she relaxed and felt unreal for a moment.
The last gentleman......
That’s it?
That’s it?
She rolled over and crawled to the side.
"This is... too overwhelming..."
Although it took advantage of the sneak attack, it was too smooth.
Now that things have come to this, she has no time to think about it.
He took the time to search the official's body. All valuable things and food were looted, and he fled in the opposite direction.
It’s important to escape.
Once she is discovered and caught up, there are only two ways in front of her.
Either she can kill all the officials by herself, including the ignorant third-class hairpin. Her intuition tells her that this path is not optimistic.
Either she was crippled and taken back to wait for her fate, which would be worse than death.
As for that woman——
Look for an opportunity to go to Xiaocheng Jiaofang and visit!
Shen Tang gritted his teeth and ran in one direction, not even caring about the gravel on the ground scratching the soles of his feet.
Who would have thought——
She had not escaped for half a stick of incense when the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly behind her, still approaching rapidly.
The sound of horse hooves???
Wait, there are no horses or carriages in the distribution team. Where did the sound of horse hooves come from?
Before she could think about whether it was an enemy or a passerby, a strong sense of crisis spread from her vest to her whole body. Shen Tang rolled to the right without thinking. As soon as she stood still, she saw an arrow piercing her position.
Looking in the direction in which the arrow flew, he saw the leader of an official on horseback with a murderous look on his face.
