Having said that, Zhao Defu pushed Shi Ye and Fu Xing into the house and closed the door.

Fu Xing's face changed drastically. She went forward and pulled the door, but found that it was locked from the outside! Her face turned pale instantly, and she kept struggling to open the door. Shi also glanced at her and said casually: "Save your energy. Going out now is seeking death."

"How could this happen..." Fu Xing's legs went limp, as if he had just escaped from a wolf's den and fallen into a tiger's lair.

Shi also sat down at the table and said calmly, "I told you long ago that the villagers of Hutoushan Village and the human traffickers are in cahoots and have dealings with each other. Otherwise, why are the villagers still patrolling so late and not sleeping? Little sister, you are so stupid."

Fu Xing's eyes widened, his lips trembling, and after a long while he asked, "If you know, why did you come?"

"I'm hungry." Shi was quite confident. She knocked on the table and called out to the outside in a coquettish voice, "Comrade Zhao, I'm hungry! Can you ask your family to cook faster? I don't have the energy!"

Seeing her expressionless face but speaking in a controlled tone, Fu Xing finally understood that Shi was also acting.

Fu Xing got up reluctantly and sat down next to Shi Ye. He still didn't understand and whispered, "Since they are in the same group, why didn't they hand us over to the traffickers? Instead, they took us home and cooked for us?"

Shiya looked at her with pity: "Everyone says you are stupid, but you don't want to admit it."

"Yes, the villagers and the traffickers have a mutually beneficial relationship, but this relationship is both the strongest and the most fragile. Let me ask you, if there is a free woman delivered to your door, would you take her or not? Would you return her to the traffickers and then pay to buy her back? Are you crazy?"

Shi also sneered, "There are human traffickers outside. They won't let us leave. The road into the mountains is blocked by villagers. If we want to leave, we can only take risks. But now, hunger is the most important thing to solve. It's freezing cold. Without hot soup or hot water in our stomachs, it will only make life more difficult. We can only think of a way to leave after we are full and satisfied."

After being scolded by Shi Ye, Fu Xing's face turned pale, but he knew that she was telling the truth.

Shi ignored her and stood up and walked around, observing the layout of the house and the routes between the rooms.

Secretary Zhao holds the lifeline of the villagers in his hands. He should be the first person to reach a cooperation agreement with the human traffickers, causing all the money to flow into his own pocket. He is obviously just a village secretary, but he can build such a large blue brick courtyard.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Cuilian came over with two bowls of noodles. She didn't go through the front door, but went straight from the kitchen to the main house. Fu Xing's eyes flashed and her legs moved. Shi also glanced at her but ignored her.

She looked at Li Cuilian with a smile: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten? Do you want to sit down and eat with us?"

Hearing what Shi Ye said, Li Cui Lian was stunned. She seemed not to have heard such polite words for a long time. She was a little dazed. After a while, she shook her head and turned to leave. Fu Xing seemed to have seized the opportunity and ran away!

Shiya looked at her rabbit-like figure, shook his head, let go of the complex of helping others, and respected personal destiny.

She looked at the hot meal, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat it with relish, not worrying about being drugged at all.

On the other side, Fu Xing wanted to run through the kitchen, but before he could go out, he bumped into Zhao Defu's chest.

She met Zhao Defu's fierce eyes and screamed in fear. She wanted to turn back, but Zhao Defu grabbed her hair and sneered, "I told you to have a good meal, but you ran around everywhere. You are such a disobedient girl. I forgot to tell you that we may encounter human traffickers everywhere in our village. It's very dangerous. You should stay at home."

After saying that, Zhao Defu slapped Fu Xing in the face with such force that Fu Xing saw stars.

Fu Xing instantly lost his strength and was locked in the woodshed by Zhao Defu in a daze.

Li Cuilian watched everything from the beginning, her face was numb. Zhao Defu rolled up his sleeves and glanced at Li Cuilian standing in the kitchen like a wooden man, his eyes disgusted: "How is that person in the room? Is there anything weird going on?"

"I'm eating. I'm very good." Li Cuilian's voice was hoarse, but she didn't dare not answer.

Hearing this, Zhao Defu wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb and grinned, "What a treasure has come."

In the past, the group also brought widows. Unlike virgins, widows were the most charming and knew how to please people and be liked by others. Such people could usually live well in the village and would not be imprisoned or beaten.

The villagers of Hutoushan rarely go down the mountain. They are all self-sufficient and live in seclusion.

If it weren't for the preference for boys over girls in the village, most of the girls born would have drowned, resulting in a shortage of women and many bachelors unable to find wives. They would not have associated with human traffickers, and today God must have had mercy on them.

Shi in the room also heard Fu Xing's screams, but so what? She had already persuaded him.

Now, staying in Secretary Zhao's yard is the safest. Why doesn't she worry about drugs in the food? First of all, no matter whether it is a villain or an honest person, food is the most important thing. In this era where grain is the key, no one will waste it.

What's more, in such a remote mountain village, people are self-sufficient and grow their own food, so how could there be any waste?

What if someone eats two bites and then faints? Who will eat the rest?

Secondly, women are "goods" to the villagers of Hutou Mountain. They are weak and have no chance to fight back. Zhao Defu is tall and strong, and can easily subdue a woman. Why does he need to drug her? In addition, she flatters Zhao Defu all the way, making him very happy and not too defensive towards her.

What he needs to do now is to ease her nervousness and give her some benefits so that she can regard him as a support.

She originally came to this village to find a stepping stone, and now someone has come to her doorstep, and he is Secretary Zhao's son. No one is more suitable than him. If she can control Zhao Defu, won't it be easy for her to leave?

Of course, her preferred springboard is actually Secretary Zhao Gangqiang.

This local tyrant, living in the mountains, holds power and is just like an emperor. If his life is in hand, everything will go much more smoothly. What a pity! Shi also sighed in distress.

The next moment, she overturned the bowl on the table to the ground, making a crackling sound.

Before Zhao Defu entered the house with a sullen face, Shi also bent down, picked up a piece of porcelain and threw it into the space.

"Oh, it hurts so much, why am I so stupid! I even broke the bowl while eating. Comrade Zhao, I'm so sorry, you won't blame me, will you?" Shi also stood up with his hand covered, looked at Zhao Defu with a wronged expression, and stretched out his cut hand in front of his eyes.

Zhao Defu looked at Shi Ye with a gloomy face. Every movement and expression of hers was natural without any falsehood.

He looked at Shiye's aggrieved expression, glanced at her delicate red lips, smiled, and waved his hand, saying, "It's a small matter. What's the big deal? It's just a bowl. Even if it's a broken pot, the family can afford it!"

When saying this, Zhao Defu looked like a wealthy man.
