Everyone used a basin of water to wash up and change out of their sour clothes.

After Ye Yunniang and the others tidied themselves up, they went to their assigned rooms.

Finally, there's a bed I can lie on.

Lying on the bed covered with weeds, Ye Yunniang quickly fell asleep; she was too tired.

In her dream, Ye Yunniang returned to Jiangcheng and saw her mother and three sons.

They are waiting for her to come home.

Ye Yunniang reached out to hug the child, wanting to tell her mother that she was alright.

I can't hug him, I can't touch him.

All he could do was keep shouting, "I'm still alive, I will definitely go back. I will definitely go back."

When Ye Yunniang opened her eyes, the roof of the mud-brick house she saw was visible.

She is still in the hands of human traffickers.

Once they reach the border regions, they will soon be transported abroad.

I thought of what Wen Nuan said about 60 people dying and 40 dying.

Ye Yunniang made up her mind; she would escape. She wanted to go back to her children alive.

At the Jiangcheng Prefectural Government, at the dining table.

Cai Damei, Li Pan, and the other two sat there looking rather unwell.

Bao Min sighed. Ye Yunniang had been missing for over a month. She hadn't been seen alive or dead; there was no trace of her.

During this period, Cai Damei and the children felt as if they had lost their backbone and couldn't muster the energy to do anything.

Bao Min ladled out a bowl of porridge and handed it to Cai Damei.

"Madam, please have some porridge."

Cai Damei took it, a slight smile playing on her lips. She looked at the three children and said, "Let's eat."

"Grandma, I can't eat. Last night, I dreamed that Mom was kidnapped by human traffickers. She's having a very hard time now."

Li Pan's words caused Cai Damei to drop her chopsticks.

“You dreamt about it too. Mother’s hair was all messy. She was wearing a drab old dress,” Li An said.

“I dreamt about it too. I also dreamt that Mother said she would find a way to escape. She will never go, Yan, Yan,”
