The two were about to set off again. Every time Lu He had to lift Zhao Jun into the carriage, it was quite an effort. Fortunately, his hands weren’t injured, so he could use his arm strength to climb up, making it a bit easier. Otherwise, how could she, a weak woman, possibly lift him...
After wiping the sweat off her forehead, she finally completed the task.
This scene was witnessed by Zhang Dash and Sun Lin, who were squatting at the corner of the wall.
Without saying a word, they understood that the man was disabled.
Sun Lin, with sharp features and monkey-like eyes, squinted and smiled, saying, "Big brother, we’ve got a bargain this time. That man is a disabled person whose legs can’t move. Our chance has come. In this place, it’s rare to find such a pretty village woman."
Zhang Dash’s eyes gleamed lecherously, "Haha, this little village woman knows how to pick a spot. Just when there’s no one around here, why don’t we knock her out and take her to our old place? We could even drive the carriage away. As for the man, a cripple isn’t going to cause much trouble. Just give him a slash later. Hehehe."
A tall, burly man and a short, skinny man swaggered toward the big tree, extremely arrogant.
The Eldest Young Master successfully got on the carriage, and Lu He was wrapping up her work. Just as she was tidying up and preparing to untie the ropes from the tree, two men appeared in front of her.
Scared.
How ugly. She took two steps back in fright, "Who are you? What do you want?"
A tall, burly man reached out to stop her from untying the ropes.
"Little lady, you’re so beautiful; it makes my brother’s heart thump with desire."
The voice was thick and loud; Zhang Dash immediately started teasing the good family woman without any subtlety.
This behavior made it obvious what he intended to do.
Sun Lin walked to the other side of the woman, forming a front and back encirclement with Zhang Dash: "Hehe, nothing else, we just want the little lady to come with us for a walk."
Having served by the Eldest Young Master for several years and visited brothels, Lu He was very aware of what "for a walk" implied.
She had always presented herself as a man, and no man had ever treated her this way.
Confronted by ruffians for the first time, her heart couldn’t help but panic. She hardened her expression and said fiercely, "In broad daylight, you dare to tease a good family woman—you better leave quickly, or I’ll report you to the authorities."
Her voice trembled slightly.
Her eyes darted around, searching for something to defend herself with, but unfortunately, she found nothing while encircled by the two men.
Hearing the word "authorities" come out of her mouth, Sun Lin chuckled even more, "Oh, the little lady wants to report to the authorities. I’m so scared. You must not know that the county head is my brother-in-law, right? If you report to the authorities and bring my brother-in-law here, how could he possibly help you? Hahahaha."
Zhang Dash rubbed his hands together twice, unable to bear it any longer, "Stop talking nonsense with her. I’ll just knock her out and take her away, so we don’t have any trouble if someone happens to pass by."
He took small steps in the direction of the woman, like a cat readying to pounce on a mouse.
In her panic, Lu He called out in a clear voice for help, "Help! Help! Someone is trying to abduct a good family woman."
Having deliberately chosen a secluded place to avoid others seeing the Eldest Young Master struggling to get in and out of the carriage, no one would answer her cries for help.
"Thud."
The sound of two objects colliding.
Accompanied by a cry of pain, "Who, who the hell hit me?"
Zhang Dash was struck hard in the back of the head by a solid object, letting out a wretched howl, with his triangular eyes wide open, searching left and right for the attacker.
It was the disabled man, sitting on the carriage, with cold eyes, who spoke in a hoarse voice, "If you two want to live, leave quickly while I haven’t taken further action."
The cup on the ground was shattered.
It was the ceramic cup Lu He had bought for drinking water~
