Chapter 537 Sold
The woman looked around, but couldn't hear what she was muttering. Then she picked up a blackened wooden stick from the side and tapped it on the ground twice.
Bai Yisha glanced at her, clenched the sleeping potion in her hand, turned her head, and looked around.
When I came in from outside, I saw several simple shacks crammed together, crooked and dilapidated, as if they had been forgotten in this desolate place.
The woman carried her to a self-built shed on the mountain.
The thatched roof had long since turned black and rotten, and whenever it rained, rainwater would drip and leak from inside, forming small puddles on the muddy ground.
The air was filled with an indescribable stench, a mixture of musty smells, the sour stench of excrement, and the cloying sweetness of rotting food.
The corner of the shack was piled with garbage, and swarms of flies buzzed around it, making an annoying noise.
Even the walls were covered with black mold, and in some places, moss had even grown.
Several dilapidated wooden doors were tightly closed, with rusty iron locks hanging on them, and only a few small vents let in a faint light.
The shack was surrounded by overgrown weeds, and several skinny stray dogs lingered not far away, barking occasionally in the direction of the shack.
The sunlight seemed to deliberately avoid this dark corner, shrouding the entire area in a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere.
Bai Yisha was sitting on a dilapidated wooden bed, covered with a dirty blanket that smelled musty and smelled of human sweat.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she heard the sound of chains scraping together, a faint whimpering sound, and a series of eerie knocks on the door not far away.
"Although I quite like you, I can't break the rules. You'll stay here for three days, and Auntie will find you a husband. I'm not saying this because it's only you; if it were anyone else, Auntie wouldn't let them sit on my bed."
The winters in Xiangshi are not as cold as those in Kyoto, but the villages in Xiangshi have no electrical heating, are drafty, and have leaky roofs, so they are hardly warm.
However, the woman was quite kind. She lit a fire to warm Bai Yisha, and then brought out two steamed buns and handed them to Bai Yisha.
After finishing, she went out and, on the way, picked up the chain and locked the door.
The chains clanged together, making a 'clattering' sound, and you could tell from the sound that the chains were very thick.
It seems the aunt really did go to find a husband for Bai Yisha.
After the aunt left, Bai Yisha got up from the bed, glanced at the cornbread in her hand, and brought it close to her nose to smell it.
Yes, it's fresh and not moldy.
This aunt is actually better than her stepmother.
When Yang Cuiping was little, she even fed her moldy cornbread.
Bai Yisha didn't waste any food; she held a steamed bun and started eating it while wandering around the area.
"Chewing...chewing...I've never been to this place before...chewing..."
[Host, eight o'clock.]
Ok?
Bai Yisha spun around in place and found a dog hole.
"What's wrong? This dog hole is so small, I can't squeeze out."
[At the eight o'clock position, on your left, there's a booklet that the old lady hid.]
Bai Yisha turned her head to look and indeed there was a yellowed booklet. She picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was densely covered with names.
This should be a statistic of people who were trafficked.
Bai Yisha frowned slightly and began to count seriously. The more she counted, the uglier her expression became.
There are a total of two hundred and twenty-four!
About a hundred of them were marked with a red cross.
Does the red cross represent...death? Or could it be an escape?
The system suddenly raised a question.
Bai Yisha bit her lip.
It's unlikely. Even if it were possible, the probability would be one in ten thousand.
The village here is winding and has only one road. If you want to get out without being discovered, the only way is to go out through the mountains and forests.
But that's easier said than done.
Apart from the only main road, both sides are uncultivated jungles, where there are poisonous snakes, wild boars, and poisonous insects. Even if Bai Yisha grew up here, she might not dare to go into the jungle.
The only time she had ever been to a place like this was when Qi Ye took her to dig up someone's ancestral grave.
The person who drew a red cross on the booklet... is most likely gone.
Bai Yisha tightened her grip on the booklet, a flame rising in her eyes.
Now that she's here, she's going to take those who were abducted out!
Although she dared not enter the jungle, she could climb mountains. She had followed Gao Yaozu and Niu Manshan since she was a child, so she knew some of the mountain paths!
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"woo woo woo woo......"
"Let me out..."
Bai Yisha suddenly heard a faint sound and alertly walked towards the direction of the sound, listening intently.
She was afraid she had misheard, so she slowed her breathing.
"Let me out... Waaaaaah... You heartless dog... You bastard... May you die a horrible death..."
There really is a sound.
Bai Yisha immediately perked up and knocked on the wall, trying to get the attention of the person on the other side.
But she knocked for a long time without getting a response.
She dared not shout, for fear of attracting the attention of the bad guys.
Bai Yisha looked down at the sleeping potion in her hand, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
……
Jiang Fan and Ji Jiaxu were caught by Chi Liche's men half an hour after the transaction was completed, and they were tied up.
"Boom!"
The two were roughly thrown to the ground, and Ji Jiaxu's chin hit the ground, quickly becoming red.
The moment Cheng Wangxun saw Jiang Fan, he rushed over and kicked him.
"Fuck you!"
"Uh-huh!"
Cheng Wangxun was holding back a lot of anger, and now he vented it all on Jiang Fan.
He Zhizhou glanced at him, reached out and pulled him back, then said in a deep voice, "Where is Sasha?"
Ji Jiaxu winced in pain, but upon hearing Bai Yisha's name, a flash of mockery crossed her eyes, and she sneered, "Dead! Ugh...!"
The moment he uttered those two words, He Zhizhou punched him, knocking out two of his teeth.
Seeing the scene was somewhat chaotic, Xi Yanchen exchanged a glance with Lu Mingxing and went straight to help Jiang Fan up.
“Jiang Fan, Sasha hasn’t done anything bad to you. She’s been treating you well and feeding you well. If you have any conscience, tell us where she is.”
Hearing this, Ji Jiaxu laughed again: "What, aren't you guys very capable? Can't you find someone?"
Xi Yanchen didn't even bother to glance at him, staring intently at Jiang Fan.
Lu Mingxing pursed his lips. He remembered seeing Jiang Fan acting strangely on several nights. He should have been on guard earlier!
Lu Jingyan suddenly grabbed Jiang Fan by the collar and slammed him against the wall. The usually composed man now had bloodshot eyes, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared hoarsely, "Where the hell did you put Bai Yisha?!"
Jiang Fan was shaken violently a few times, and the back of his head hit the wall with a dull thud.
His eyes flickered, whether from a pang of conscience or finally unable to bear it any longer, his lips trembled slightly, and he squeezed out in a dry voice, "Sold it."
