She had not been lying down for long when Chu Yu heard the sound of chains outside the door, and shortly afterward someone came in; opening her eyes, it was the horse bandit leader.
In his hand, the leader held paper and brush, and an inkstone. Upon entering and seeing the two people lying there, he couldn't help but laugh, "You two seem quite at ease."
Rong Zhi slowly sat up, his gaze gentle and direct as he looked at the horse bandit leader, "Your flattering tone is appreciated, sir. Given our current predicament, any struggle would be futile. It's better to let you arrange matters as you see fit."
The horse bandit leader laughed heartily, "Well-educated indeed, different from the common brutes in the next room." He spread the paper on the ground, placed the inkstone beside it, already filled with prepared ink, then handed over the brush, "Would you trouble yourselves to write a letter home? We can use it as proof to show your families."
So they were to write a ransom letter.
