Chapter 62 Kidnapping
After dinner, Xu Xinger went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Ye went into the room and sewed the waist cushion for her. Soon, she took it out and asked, "Is it tied to your back basket or on your waist?"
"In the basket." Xu Xinger reached out to take over the waist pad and turned it over and couldn't put it down. After fixing it on the back basket, she couldn't wait to try it on her back and said with a satisfied face, "It's really much more comfortable than before."
"Other people's baskets are not always carried like that, but you have many tricks." Xu Laosan squatted aside and smoked a cigarette bag and said.
"But this is really less laborious than before, and it doesn't tiring when walking." Xu Xinger suddenly became interested and said, "Dad, no one else has thought of this method. Can we do something to sell it?"
"This is in the eyes of money. This thing is just a wooden board. It can be made with a piece of cloth and cotton. Others can do it at a glance. Who will pay for it?" Xu Laosan directly poked Xu Xinger's dream into a bubble.
Xu Xinger thinks it's the same way. People who carry baskets all day long are ordinary people, and they don't have a good life. Who will spend money to buy this kind of thing?
"Xinger, don't think about it. Come into the room and change the medicine for you." Ye smashed the medicine in the room before shouting.
Xu Xinger went straight into the room with her back and twisted left and right to show Ye with a smile, "Mother, this is much more comfortable."
"Oc, there are still injuries on the shoulder. I don't know who you are following. You are so naughty when you are young." Ye turned his head and looked at the two small ones in the car and whispered, "When your eldest sister was a child, lying in the car was not honest. As soon as she turned over and crawled, she began to climb outside the car. Fortunately, it was a broad day. I was doing needles and thread on the kang, and I caught you, otherwise I would have to fall out. Later, you have to tie your hands and feet every time before you dare to put them in.
Xu Xinger listened to these agly incident when she was a child. Although she did not experience it herself, listening to Ye's words, she was full of her mother's love for her daughter. That warm feeling ironed her heart. I really wish that those things really happened to her.
As Ye said, he opened the cotton cloth on Xu Xinger's shoulder and carefully wiped the medicine paste she applied yesterday. He saw that the places where there was still bleeding were scabbed. Many of the tender meat he saw yesterday were gradually healing. He couldn't help saying happily, "The medicinal herbs given by Shanzi really worked, and it was applied all night. It's much better."
"Yes, I don't think it hurts much either." Xu Xinger turned her head to look at her shoulder, raised her arm and moved a few times. She felt that she had recovered most of it. She immediately bargained and said, "Mom, I'm almost ready. I don't need to apply medicine today. It's uncomfortable to stick to my body stickyly."
"How can that work? You have to be sharp." Ye was rejected in one bite, carefully applied the freshly pounded medicine paste on Xu Xinger's shoulder, and told her uneasily, "Don't go out to run around today and have a rest at home."
Xu Xinger was absent-minded, but she had her own idea in her heart.
After applying the medicine, Xu Laosan has gone to work. Ye made clothes for the lock and chestnuts in the house, and only Taoer sat on the small bench at the door of the house.
Xu Xinger saw that there were no others in the yard and said to Taoer, "Taoer, you see that the weeds in the vegetable garden have grown a little again. Can you pull weeds? I'll buy you candy when I come back from the market in two days.
Tao'er nodded obediently, put on the little straw hat Xu Laosan made for her, and went to the vegetable garden to start pulling weeds.
Xu Xinger put the basket on her back and whispered to Taoer, "You can go in later after pulling the grass. Tell your mother that the eldest sister will go up the mountain and come back after a day. Do you remember? Let's talk about it after pulling the grass."
"Remember." Taoer nodded obediently, "Big sister, be careful when you go up the mountain."
"What a good boy!" Xu Xinger kissed Taoer on the face, then grabbed the draft hat and the machete she was used to, and quietly slipped out of the house.
Midsummer is the most arbitrary growing season in the forest. All plants are trying to stretch their branches and leaves, showing their strong vitality in the sun. The dense branches and leaves cover the hot sun and create a rare coolness for the creatures in the forest in summer. Unknown small flowers bloom in clusters, looking at pieces like soft and thick carpets from a distance, people can't wait to jump up and roll a few times.
As soon as Xu Xinger entered the mountain, she felt comfortable all over, and even the slightly noisy birds and insects were singing. At this time, she seemed particularly pleasant. According to the route in her memory, she walked towards the destination she had thought of for a long time. Occasionally, she saw any beautiful flowers on the roadside, and she would stop to pick a few flowers and weave them into a small wreath. At the waist, it suddenly added a little playfulness.
Maybe because today is June 6th, most people stay at home and don't go out, so Xu Xinger hasn't met anyone all the way, but it's quiet. The hillside she is going to today is a little far from home, but the mountain road is easy to walk, and there are no dangerous places to climb along the way, which is very suitable for her to collect medicine alone.
As she walked, she stroked the grass a few steps away with a wooden stick in order to drive away the snakes and insects lurking in it, lest it would be too late to notice when she stepped on it. Although there are many snakes on the mountain, they are not aggressive. Unless they feel dangerous, they will crawl away by themselves as long as they are slightly disturbed.
Xu Xinger hummed a little song and walked easily all the way. Not to mention snakes, she didn't even see a bigger bug, and she didn't know what kind of horns were hidden in.
The sun climbed higher and higher, and it was about to reach the top of the head. Although there were trees in the forest, the temperature around it was still gradually rising. Xu Xinger raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead, stood at the fork in the road to reconfirm whether she had gone wrong. After judging the direction, she continued to walk to the left, as long as she went around. This mountain bag has arrived at today's destination.
Victory is in sight. Xu Xinger's footsteps, which had slowed down a little, were much lighter. Seeing that she reached the corner, she suddenly heard a scolding in front of her: "Be honest with me and squatting."
Xu Xinger stopped vigilantly, holding the machete tightly in her hand, and hesitated to go over to see what was going on, but on second thought, if she was really a bad person, her ten-year-old child was not enough to stuff people's teeth in the past, but there was no shop in front of the village and behind, and she couldn't find a place to call for help. Busy.
While struggling, another very childish voice came from the front: "Are you trying to ask for money? As long as you send me home safely, my father will definitely give you much more money than you sell me.
Xu Xinger suddenly felt familiar when she heard this sound, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she heard it. While she was recalling desperately, there was a sound of kicking and aching in front of her.
"Shut up. Since I tied you up, I don't want to send you back. Isn't it just that there is a lot of money at home? What's the big deal? No matter how much money I can buy back my life?" At the beginning, the man shouted rudely, "The medicine you prescribed to Rongtang is useless. My wife just took two pictures and went there. I went to your pharmacy for an explanation. Your buddy beat me out and said that I came to the door to collect money. I can't swallow it!"
"So you tied me up?" The immature voice trembled slightly, but still insisted on maintaining rationality.
As soon as Xu Xinger heard Xiang Rongtang, she immediately remembered that this voice was actually caught in the mountains by the coquettish Rong Haoxuan.
"Yes, I also want them to have a taste of losing their loved ones." The man's voice was a little crazy, "You should have treated the sick and saved people..."
"As the saying goes, if you treat a disease, you can't cure your life. Even if Hua Tuo is born again, you dare not say that you can cure all the people by yourself. My family is a medicine shop, just according to the prescription. As long as we don't catch the wrong medicine and don't give the wrong weight, the rest has nothing to do with us..." Rong Haoxuan is still in the mood to argue with him at this time.
Xu Xinger scolded secretly in her heart. At first glance, this fool was spoiled by the family. Although he was better than ordinary dilly, he was not involved in the world after all. He didn't even know why Xiucai met soldiers. Now he should follow the man's words and smooth his anger first. Thinking about something else, this fool came up one by one for fear that people would not kill him.
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, there came another sound of beating and scolding.
However, after hiding here for so long, Xu Xinger's heart is a little more secure. Since it is not a planned kidnapping, there will be no accomplices and response. If she thinks of a way, she may be able to get people out.
Thinking of this, she gently took off her back basket and put it on the grass by the roadside. Under the cover of vegetation, she quietly walked up to see how the situation was. However, this turning place was a stone, and only some tenacious weeds grew on it, and there was no place to hide people at all.
Xu Xinger looked around, hung the machete on her back, and gently climbed up the big tree beside her. The branches on the tree stretched in the direction of the stone. If she could climb up, she should be able to see the situation over there.
For good, this tree is very strong, and Xu Xinger is thin and small, and she climbed to the top of the two people without much effort.
The bottom is really similar to what she thought. There is only one man in his thirties standing with his back to himself. He is taller and stronger than Xu Laosan, and there is also a machete in his back. It should not be easy to deal with. It is definitely impossible to succeed in the frontal confrontation, so I can only think about other ways. .
Xu Xinger climbed on the branch to find a way, inadvertently lowered her head and happened to meet Rong Haoxuan.
Looking at Rong Haoxuan opening his mouth and a ghostly look, Xu Xinger was not feeling well.
