Chapter 51 Qin Zhen Falls off a Cliff

Qin Zhi searched around Shitou Village but couldn't find Qin Zhen's whereabouts, and he became even more anxious.

At this time, Shen came running over with a little boy. Qin Zhi knew the little boy, Erdan, who depended on his grandmother for survival. Erdan went to the foot of the mountain to chop wood every day, and Qin Zhi met him several times. Sometimes he would give him a pheasant when he shot it, and let him take it back to eat with his grandmother. Erdan was also a good child who knew how to be grateful, and often chopped wood and sent it to Qin Zhi's house.

"Xiaozhi, Erdan said that when he was chopping wood just now, he saw Qin Wen's new wife leading your sister to the official road, and two people hiding in the bushes rushed out and took your sister away." Shen was extremely anxious and spoke with a crying voice.

"Erdan, tell your sister what those two people look like and where did they run to?" Qin Zhi asked.

"Sister Erya, of the two men, one was very fat, but he was bald, and the other was very thin, thinner than your uncle. They were both wearing black clothes. They had a very broken carriage. By the way, there was a circle drawn on the outside of the carriage with a word written inside. I don't recognize the word, it looks like two boxes. They were walking towards the town." Erdan said.

Qin Zhi hurried home, mounted his chestnut horse, and rode at full speed towards the town.

Qin Zhi was very panicked, she was worried that Qin Zhen would not be able to wait for her.

There was no one on the official road, not even the shadow of a carriage. Qin Zhi suspected that the criminals had gone to another side road. The chestnut horse continued to gallop forward, and there was actually a carriage parked on the side of the road in front of him. Qin Zhi's hope was rekindled, and he continued to gallop forward on the chestnut horse. However, when he was almost there, he found that the person standing next to the carriage was Song Rou, who was picking wild flowers nearby. When he got closer, Song Rou also noticed her.

"Qin Zhi, why are you here?" Song Rou exclaimed.

"My sister was kidnapped by criminals. Did you see any other carriages passing by here just now?" Qin Zhi asked anxiously.

At this time, Liu Qian and Mrs. Song heard the noise and came out.

Liu Qian turned around and asked the servant who was driving the car, "Alai, did you see any other carriages passing by when you were driving just now?"

Alai shook his head, but after a while he said, "I remember now. At the intersection ahead, there was a crooked tree. I saw a bald, fat man running up the mountain, as if he was chasing someone. Behind him, there was a skinny monkey driving a horse-drawn carriage after them. Oh, and there was a sign on the carriage saying 'Lu'. I was wondering at the time, isn't that the carriage of Mother Lu from Piaoxiangyuan?"

When Qin Zhi heard this, he could not wait any longer and turned his horse around to chase after him.

"Qin Zhi, I'll go with you. I have practiced martial arts." Song Rou shouted.

The fat man Liu Qian also shouted, "I'm going too."

"No," Qin Zhi shouted, "Send Madam Song and Song Yu back first, and then ask the yamen runners to come and help."

While they were talking, Song Rou jumped onto Qin Zhi's carriage, and the two of them rode on the chestnut horses towards the path leading up the mountain.

There were indeed wheel tracks on the road, and the two followed the tracks up the mountain. Qin Zhi vaguely heard the sound of horses neighing in front of him, and he became even more anxious, wishing he could fly over immediately.

Not long after, a carriage came back, and Qin Zhi spotted the Lü character on it. The driver was indeed a skinny monkey. Qin Zhi vaguely heard the skinny monkey and the people in the carriage cursing, saying that they had worked in vain.

Qin Zhi's heart sank, fearing that something had happened to his sister.

Qin Zhi jumped off her horse, broke off a branch from a nearby tree, picked up the branch and ran towards the skinny monkey. She hit the skinny monkey with all her strength, and the skinny monkey fell to the ground before she could prepare. Qin Zhi stepped on his chest and asked sternly, "Where is he?"

The skinny monkey felt pain in his chest and was about to curse, but the moment he looked up, he was so scared that he crawled back, shouting, "Ghost! Ghost!"

At this time, Song Rou also dismounted and ran over. She quickly pulled out the whip from her waist and hooked the fat man down from the carriage.

The fat man fell to the ground. When he heard the skinny monkey's cry, he looked up and stepped back in fear.

Qin Zhi's heart was beating hard. Something must have happened to his sister, otherwise they wouldn't have reacted like this when they saw her.

Song Rou pulled out the whip, swung it hard at the fat man, and asked sternly: "Where did the girl go just now?"

"She ran away and we couldn't find her," the fat man answered hesitantly with evasive eyes.

"Why don't you tell the truth?" Song Rou whipped him hard again, and the fat man almost jumped up in pain.

"She jumped off the cliff," the fat man answered tremblingly.

"Where did she jump? Take us there quickly," Song Rou said as another person gave them a whip.

The two of them were jumping in front, leading the way, in so much pain, they wanted to run but didn't dare to. These two ladies were both very skilled.

The two gangsters took them to the cliff where Qin Zhen fell. Qin Zhi stood there and looked down, but she couldn't see the bottom at a glance. The chance of surviving if she fell down like this was almost zero.

Qin Zhi knelt on the ground and shouted "Sister, sister" down the mountain. She wished someone would respond to her, but the only response she got was the whistling wind.

Song Rou listened to her shouting gradually turning into crying, and then into hysterical crying.

Song Rou couldn't bear it for a moment. Qin Zhen had poured tea for her not long ago, but now she fell off the cliff and not even a body was left.

Song Rou pulled out her whip again and whipped the two men fiercely, "Tell me, how did she fall down?"

"She kicked my brother, and I relaxed for a moment, so she jumped out of the car and ran away. She ran to the top of the mountain, and when she saw us chasing her, she jumped down." The fat man said sadly.

"Why did you catch her?" Song Rou whipped her again.

The fat man was beaten so hard that he screamed, "It's all Liu Xiuying's fault. She said that this girl could be sold for a good price and we should split the money in half."

Qin Zhi couldn't stop crying, and turned to Song Rou and said, "Help me take them to the county government office. I want to go down to find my sister. She must be waiting for me to save her."

"No, how can you go down into this abyss to look for him? If anything happens to you, how will your mother live? We must avenge Qin Zhen and cannot let that heinous man go." Song Rou held Qin Zhi.

Qin Zhi couldn't wait any longer, she wanted to avenge Zhao Liu Xiuying now. Qin Zhi jumped onto Mother Lu's carriage and found a rope inside.

Qin Zhi picked up the rope and tied up the two gangsters. As a special forces soldier in her previous life, she was very familiar with how to tie a rope, and the knot she tied for the two men became tighter the more they struggled.

Qin Zhi pulled the rope in front and drove them both onto the carriage, and then drove the carriage himself. Song Rou rode her chestnut horse down the mountain, and just as she got down the mountain, she ran into Liu Qian and a group of yamen runners rushing over.
