The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 200 Big Brother, I'm Just a Little Beggar

Li Muxia followed the direction she had seen earlier and, sure enough, spotted an earring halfway there. She picked it up and, sure enough, it belonged to Su Lanzhi.

Li Muxia felt a pang of panic. He didn't know what those people were up to, and he was terrified that they would harm Su Lanzhi. So much time had passed; he wondered if Su Lanzhi was alright now.

Without time to think, Li Muxia quickened her pace, trying to find a more secluded spot.

Li Muxia now only hoped that she could make it in time. She was already running forward. The path down the mountain was difficult to walk, and Li Muxia had already fallen several times. Even her clothes were torn in several places, and her face was scratched by tree branches.

She didn't care about any of that; she only hoped that the innocent and beautiful girl was alright. Now, she only regretted that she was too slow.

Qingyun, who was hiding in the shadows, had been following Li Muxia. He watched Li Muxia fall down and get up again and again. He wanted to help her, but he couldn't. He couldn't show himself yet.

The only thing that can help Li Muxia now is to find Su Lanzhi as soon as possible.

Qingyun darted away and used his lightness skill to search around the mountain. Finally, he found a burlap sack lying on the ground in a thatched hut. He untied the sack and found Su Lanzhi unconscious.

Looking around, they didn't see the people who had kidnapped Su Lanzhi.

He removed a few ornaments from Su Lanzhi's head and threw them on the way he came, so that Li Muxia could find this place.

Li Muxia lived up to expectations and quickly arrived at the thatched hut, where he saw Su Lanzhi lying on the ground. Li Muxia looked around but did not see the others.

He quickly reached Su Lanzhi's side and instinctively reached for her pulse. Fortunately, she had only been drugged.

He took out a small porcelain bottle and waved it under Su Lanzhi's nose.

Then they saw Su Lanzhi frown slightly, and then slowly open her eyes.

What came into view was Li Muxia's worried gaze, which slowly cleared up.

She then realized that she seemed to have been kidnapped.

Thinking that Li Muxia had also been arrested, he immediately panicked and tried to get up.

"Sister Xia, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Muxia covered her mouth.

All that could be heard was a man's voice coming from outside.

"Second brother, hurry up."

"What's the rush? That woman has been drugged and won't wake up anytime soon."

"Second brother, you don't understand. Third brother is just eager to enjoy himself."

"Third Brother is an impatient person, but that little girl is really good-looking."

Listening to what the group was saying, Li Muxia didn't know why they had left, but now that they were back, they were in danger.

Qingyun, who was hiding in the shadows, was ready to make his move.

Then they saw Li Muxia say something to Su Lanzhi, and then look around at the thatched house. It must have been a temporary dwelling built by some hunter. There was hardly any place to hide. There was only a pile of firewood behind which one could barely hide a person.

Su Lanzhi also fainted upon seeing this, just as Li Muxia had instructed.

Hearing someone enter, she couldn't help but feel afraid, but she still insisted on not opening her eyes.

Unfortunately, what she heard next made her extremely nervous.

"Brother, someone has already been here."

A sinister male voice rang out: "Looks like a little mouse has slipped in."

His gaze swept around the room, quickly settling on the firewood where Li Muxia was hiding.

Li Muxia saw the man with the knife walking towards her through the gap. Her heart was pounding, her brain was racing, and she was gripping the medicine bottle tightly in her hand. Her knuckles were white, and her palms were sweaty.

Su Lanzhi opened her eyes slightly and saw that Li Muxia was about to be discovered. She realized that Li Muxia had come to rescue her and she couldn't let Li Muxia be discovered.

Thinking of this, Su Lanzhi said, "No one came; I woke up on my own."

The group was startled by Su Lanzhi's words.

Qingyun was about to throw his darts when Su Lanzhi's words startled him so much that he almost exposed himself.

Li Muxia also saw the person who was about to notice her stop and turn to look at Su Lanzhi. She didn't feel relieved.

Su Lanzhi saw that all four of them were looking at her, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid; even her voice trembled as she spoke.

"Who are you people, and why are you arresting me?"

The person who spoke first noticed something was wrong and said, "Brother, don't believe her. Someone must have come in. The rope on the outside of this sack has been cut with a knife."

Hearing the man's words, Li Muxia and Su Lanzhi realized why they noticed someone had come in so quickly. Had someone already been here before she entered?

Sure enough, those present became wary again upon hearing the man's words.

The man turned his gaze back to the woodpile. Just as Su Lanzhi was about to say something, the man who had spoken earlier grabbed her hair and said, "You bitch, you're still trying to fool us."

Su Lanzhi felt a sharp pain from having her hair pulled, and her body trembled uncontrollably. After all, she was just a young girl, and after being frightened like this, she began to cry softly.

Li Muxia also saw this scene through the gap. She could no longer hide. For now, she could only obey the group and wait for an opportunity to make her move.

Thinking of this, Li Muxia ruffled her hair, raised her hands high, and walked out from behind the woodpile.

"Brothers, please have mercy. I'm just a beggar. I was starving and wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some game. I was passing by when I saw a sack on the ground. I was curious, so I opened it to take a look and then robbed him."

As she spoke, she took out the jewelry that she had found on the road, belonging to Su Lanzhi.

When the group saw Li Muxia's disheveled appearance—she hadn't worn any jewelry and was dressed simply because she was visiting her parents' graves today—they realized she hadn't brought any jewelry and had fallen several times on the way. She was covered in mud and really did look like a little beggar. Moreover, since she had indeed taken out Su Lanzhi's jewelry, they believed her somewhat.

Li Muxia's face was obscured by her hair, so they couldn't see her features. However, these men had no intention of letting Li Muxia go.

Although Li Muxia had studied Taekwondo, judging from the appearance of the four people, they should also be trained practitioners. She really wasn't confident that she could take on all four of them.

However, she still had the poison powder, which would greatly increase her chances of winning. But the four of them were currently positioned somewhat spread out, and her powder couldn't knock them all out instantly. Moreover, Su Lanzhi was also in their hands, and if they discovered a weakness, it would definitely be detrimental to Su Lanzhi.
