It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 31

"What did you do to my lady? Did you eat it!" Having said that, the little girl wiped her tears and cried out.

Cheng Dalei was stunned, and Cheng Dalei asked, "Who is this little girl?"

"Xiaodie, Miss Su's maid, got it from Fallen Leaf City." Lin Shaoyu said.

Su Ying came out of the room and said in surprise, "Xiaodie!"

Xiaodie's tears stopped suddenly, and she said tremblingly, "Miss, you are still alive and have not been eaten by them."

Su Ying was also speechless, she waved her hand and said, "Come here, we will talk in the room."

Xiaodie followed Su Ying into the room, Xiaodie tugged at Su Ying's clothes and pinched her arm. Finally he breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, it's great that you are still alive."

Suddenly, she paused and said in pain, "Then... did he ruin you?"

Su Ying blushed: "What nonsense, I'm fine."

Outside the house, Cheng Dalei asked Lin Shaoyu what was going on.

But it turned out that Lin Shaoyu was on duty at the foot of the mountain today, that is, robbery. It was hard to wait for someone, but it was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. According to the other party, her name is Xiaodie, she is Su Ying's maid, and she came to Qingniu Mountain to find Su Ying.

However, it turned out that Su Ying was kidnapped, and it was also spread that Toad Village defeated a thousand elite soldiers in Black Rock City. According to rumors, the king of the toad in the toad village was born with a tiger's back, a green face and fangs, and he would drink a pound of human blood and ten pounds of human flesh for every meal. That's why Xiaodie asked that in the first sentence.

Cheng Dalei pondered this matter and asked, "What do you think if we manage the Su family to ask for a ransom, what should we order?"

"The boss is willing to let her go!" Xu Shenji said in surprise.

"What, I put the interests of the cottage first, how can I be deceived by women." Cheng Dalei firmly said, this is naturally not his sincere words. But the truth is, Cheng Dalei has used all the methods he can use, and he has not moved Su Ying's heart. If he stays here, he can't see or eat.

"This... It is estimated that it is difficult to get the ransom." Huang Sanyuan said: "The situation of the Su family is a bit complicated."

"How do you say it?" Huang Sanyuan used to be the person Han Huzhu sent to Ye Yecheng to contact the family, so he naturally knew something about the Su family's situation.

Huang Sanyuan said: "The name of the owner of Sihai Trading Company is Su Sihai. Su Sihai has no sons, but he has many daughters. I can't remember seven or eight. Su Sihai is already old, and the family business can only be inherited by his daughters. Among these daughters, Su Ying is the most qualified. But the problem is that Su Ying's biological mother died a long time ago, and now the real power of the Su family is Su Sihai's stepmother. She naturally hopes that her daughter will inherit the family business, not Su Ying. I think she is probably praying that Su Ying will be eaten by the boss."

Cheng Dalei is speechless, you said it well at first, what does the last sentence mean?

"Let me go, I have a way to send you the ransom you want."

Su Ying seemed to hear the conversation in the yard, suddenly walked out of the house, stood at the door and said this sentence.

"Do you really want to go?"

When Cheng Dalei asked this sentence, he knew that he had said something nonsense. Huang Sanyuan said that anyone who has a little way to survive will not choose to be a pirate, not to mention Su Ying, the daughter of a cosmopolitan firm.

"Come on, prepare a pen and paper."

Cheng Dalei shouted, but he felt a little resentful in his heart.

Oh, woman!

Cheng Dalei asked people to bring a pen and paper, thinking about what he should ask Su Ying for. Since he couldn't keep the other person, he would simply order more property to comfort his wounded and fragile heart.

In the end, with the advice of the owner of the cottage, Cheng Dalei set a ransom amount, including: five hundred stone of grain, some cloth, some rice paper, salt, wine... and some books.

Handing the list to Su Ying, Cheng Dalei said with a straight face: "You are sure, you can send it to me! If you dare to lie to me, don't forget, I will eat people!"

Su Ying scrutinized the list, and finally raised her head and said, "You don't have a lion's mouth to speak. When I go back, I will solve the family's affairs, and I will send the things to you, doubling the number you gave."

When Cheng Dalei heard this, he was still very loud.

On a sunny afternoon, Cheng Dalei released Su Ying. Fallen Leaves City is about seven or eighty miles away from Qingniu Mountain. There are many bandits along the way. If Su Ying and Xiaodie are on the road alone, it is actually very dangerous. So Cheng Dalei also arranged for someone to protect them.

In the end, Cheng Dalei asked Lin Shaoyu and Huang Sanyuan to accompany the two on the road. Lin Shaoyu could be responsible for the safety issues along the way, and Huang Sanyuan was arranged for Cheng Dalei to let him buy some piglets and poultry in Fallen Leaf City. For Shanzhai, the planting industry must be engaged in, and the breeding industry must be rectified.

Seeing how many people set up their carriages, Cheng Dalei sent them all the way to the foot of Toad Ridge, and said to Huang Sanyuan and Lin Shaoyu, "You brought her here, this time you should send him away."

Having said this, Cheng Dalei felt unstoppable heartbreak, and his wife Yazhai was about to be sent away by him. He gave Su Ying ten pounds of chili peppers: "I heard that there is a hotel in your house, try these and see if you can open the market."

Su Ying opened her bright eyes and nodded lightly.

The more I saw the other party's good-looking, the more I felt reluctant to part with it. Today, after we parted, where would I find such a shrewd lady Yazhai again. But he had tried his best, but still failed to impress the girl's heart. Could it be that her heart is really made of stone...

Before parting, Cheng Dalei wanted to make one last effort. He stared into Su Ying's eyes and said slowly: "The flowers are blooming on Mo, but I can return slowly."

Su Ying was about to get on the carriage, when she heard this, she turned around and stood in front of Cheng Dalei.

"Can I have a few words with you alone?"

Cheng Dalei hurriedly drove Huang Sanyuan and the others away. When only the two of them stood alone in front of the carriage, he asked nervously, "What do you want to say to me?"

"You've said a lot of nice things to me these days and done a lot of things to make me happy. I don't know why, maybe you want me to like you. However, I can tell if a person is real or fake. Yes." Su Ying looked into Cheng Dalei's eyes and said slowly, "And everything you've done to me these days is fake."

Cheng Dalei was startled, and subconsciously avoided Su Ying's eyes.

"If the things you give are all fake, how can you expect to exchange the fake for the real." Su Ying's tone was calm, but her words were overwhelming: "In fact, it doesn't matter to me whether you are sincere or not, It doesn't matter whether I give you my heart or not."

"So, what do you want?" Cheng Dalei felt a little hot.

"Let's say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet. I want to ask you something?" Su Ying said, "Before parting, can you tell me the truth?"

Truth, what is truth?

Cheng Dalei looked at Su Ying in front of him, and was in a trance for a moment. The red dress is like fire, and the skin is whiter than snow. You say she is Lin Daiyu, but she is full of vitality. If you think she is Wang Xifeng, she also has the innocence of her age.

Cheng Dalei approached Su Ying's ear and said a word softly.
