Chapter 102 Disappearance of Jiuyue
"Hurry up! Bring the woman in first. Don't let others see her!"
When they released Su Jiuyue from the sack, she stretched out her hand to block the dazzling light.
A man with handlebar asked in front of her, "Why do you catch a girl so young?"
A taller man behind him slapped him on the back of the head, saying, "You have no idea! If such kind of young girls can be cultivated well, we will be able to get a great price on them."
Hearing his words, Su Jiuyue shrank back in fright, and the tall man beckoned, "Tie her up!"
Another two men behind him immediately stepped forward with ropes. Su Jiuyue stared at them, but did not dare to resist. She had no ways but to watch them tie her hands and feet.
"Behave yourself and suffer less! Don't even think about escaping now that you are here!"
The mustache man called him, "Heizi, go! Let's drink!"
As soon as the door closed, the room was dark, and only a few faint rays of light came in through the crack in the door.
When there was no one at all, Su Jiuyue gradually calmed down.
Yesterday, she had dreamed about this. But in the dream, she was caught together with Chunmei. They were panicked and shouted. The evildoers not only tied their hands and feet, but also sealed their mouths.
She exhaled a long breath and began to observe the environment. The room was empty, but there was a person in another corner of the room.
Person?!
Su Jiuyue suddenly was shocked, because in her dream, she and Chunmei were the only two in the room. So who was this person now? !
Looking at the figure, Jiuyue thought that the person was also a girl. She should be young too. Her clothes were made of silks, which indicated that she was not from ordinary families. How could such a girl be grasped? Weren't they afraid of getting into troubles?
Even if Su Jiuyue had countless guesses in her mind, she had no ways to get the answers at this time.
She moved tentatively towards the girl and called her, "Lady?"
The girl moved slightly, making sure that nobody was outside, and then she raised her head from her arms.
Su Jiuyue could see her face clearly. She had the best appearance with a beauty spot between her eyebrows.
She should be at the age of eleven or twelve years old. Her originally coiffed hair had been scattered, with no hair accessories on it. It was estimated that those avaricious evildoers had rapped the expensive accessories.
Su Jiuyue also felt a little distressed about her. If it weren't for this disaster, such a young lady should be surrounded by servants. How would she suffer from this kind of misery?
"You... you were also seized by them?" Su Jiuyue asked softly, as if she was afraid of scaring the lady.
The girl nodded, "Yes. When you were caught, did you see anyone looking for me?"
The way this young lady talked was somewhat similar to that of Zongyuan, which was different from how local people spoke.
She shook her head, "I've never seen one."
Seeing that the light in the girl's eyes went out instantly, Jiuyue was a little sorry. Then she added: "I was grabbed not long after I entered the city. Maybe someone was looking for you, but I didn't see him. "
The girl looked a little relieved after hearing Su's words, and she promised, "If my father can find me, I will ask him rescue you!"
Actually Su Jiuyue had already planned to get out, but after hearing what the girl said, she felt that she was unkind if she ran away and let the girl alone.
So she smiled, "Thank you!"
Her little face had been already smeared, and she ran all the way, sweating profusely, so her face became so dirty.
The girl sighed silently in her heart when she saw Su Jiuyue could still smile in this situation.
Jiuyue was also stupid, she thought.
"My name is Su Yi. How about you?"
"Wow! What a coincidence! My surname is Su too. Since I was born in September, I was named Jiuyue (September in English)."
Su Yi heard that Jiuyue had the same last name as herself, and suddenly felt that she was a little more cordial, "Which year were you born?"
"In Xinrui thirty-six years. How about you?"
"Then we are the same age!"
......
The two were talking and didn't feel scared anymore. But Chunmei, who was outside, was specially anxious.
On the one hand, she was worried that Jiuyue would be caught. On the other hand, she was also concerned that she would be discovered if she went out hastily. Therefore, she waited until it was silent outside, and then wiped her tears and ran out.
When she was on the main street, there were not so many people, so she was not so afraid.
Following the crowd towards the outside of the city gate, Chunmei believed that Jiuyue would be fine. Jiuyue had promised to reunite with her at the city gate. Now she was going to meet her father and waited for Jiuyue to come back.
When Liu Dalin saw his daughter came back alone with the medicines, he panicked immediately, because he didn't see Su Jiuyue.
Before his sister left, she had told him to take good care of her son and daughter-in-law, but after just a few days, Su Jiuyue disappeared.
Chunmei cried and talked about what had happened in the city. After that, Liu Dalin was about to enter the city immediately, but he was stopped by Chunmei, "Dad, you can't go!"
"Jiuyue has disappeared. If I can't find her, how can I explain it to your aunt?!"
Chunmei wiped away her tears and dragged Liu's arm to keep him from leaving. She said: "But you can't enter the city at all. You will be prevented at the gate of the city and taken away as an able-bodied man. I see it with my own eyes... woo woo woo..."
Liu Dalin stomped in a hurry, then crouched down and held his head. He was chagrined and said, "What can I do! I shouldn't have let you two go! Jiuyue is such a beautiful girl. If she is grabbed by the wicked, something terrible will happen to her. I can't even imagine it!"
When he said this, Chunmei became even more anxious, saying, "Dad! I should go in and look for her!"
How could Liu Dalin throw Chunmei to the wolves since he knew that it was so dangerous. But they were at their wit's end, having their hair on fire outside the city.
There were quite a lot people like them outside, and everyone inquired about each other to see if there was any whereabouts of their daughters.
There was a lot of noise that disturbed Mu Shaoling.
He wore a black embroidered robe, sitting behind the desk, with the documents sent by the servants in front of him. He looked so cold and glum.
"These guys really don't take me seriously!"
"There shouldn't be no news if those guys are eager to transport so many girls out of the city. Pass my word! Close the city gate! Don't let even a mosquito fly out!"
"Yes, sir!"
.
Closing the city gate was useless at all. Su Jiuyue had witnessed in her dream that those evildoers found a secret passage from a wealthy merchant's courtyard by chance. Through this secret passage, they could come and go freely in and out of the city. So they weren't afraid of the iron swords guarding the city at all.
And the yard where they were locked was the yard with the secret passage.
Nothing was absolute and there was always a way out for them. If they wanted to escape, there was really a way.
