This question made all the girls in the room burst into tears - they really didn't come from here, and they were all trafficked. Of course, the ones the traffickers liked were all beautiful.
After confirming the abduction, Miss Chu's suspicions about Huang E's strange behavior diminished. Perhaps it was simply the panic after the tragedy. The two had been kept together by the kidnapper, the man naked, and the two of them together... Perhaps they truly had a secret, and that was only natural. Maintaining a clean reputation is not easy for a girl, so we should bear the responsibility of covering up for others.
Therefore, when Chu Suzhen led these girls out of the house, even if she felt that Shi Chuan in the yard was very sneaky when talking to Huang E, for example, when Huang E saw her appear, she would try her best to avoid her and they deliberately kept a distance... she pretended not to see it all.
The tragic scene in the courtyard immediately made the girls vomit violently. Seeing that they were vomiting even more violently than she had at the beginning, Miss Chu felt a little better. She shouted loudly: "Shi... Sir, you take care of these awake girls. I will go wake up the rest of the children."
Shi Chuan nodded, but before he could say anything, Huang E interrupted him again, "Don't worry, Sister Chu. I'll gather them all into the main room. You can go and get busy."
Miss Chu led the servants into another room. As she entered, she thought of the girls who had just woken up and, like her, were terrified by the scene in the yard. But Huang E, how could she remain so calm? Miss Chu couldn't help but mutter to herself, "At such a young age, she's like a demon! Such a tragic scene would terrify even a man like Shi Yanei, yet she can calmly talk to people by the door. I wonder what kind of family could raise such a Daji?"
After walking through several rooms, the kidnapped girls had all woken up, and Miss Chu entered the last room. During this back-and-forth, every time she walked out of the door and returned to the courtyard, Miss Chu was always terrified and nauseated by the tragic scene in the courtyard. She couldn't help but feel weak in her legs and wanted to escape the courtyard. But she still rushed to save the unconscious women.
While she was running around the houses, Shi Chuan was very loyal to his duty. He found a red tasseled spear from somewhere and stood guard in the yard with it.
What is even more amazing is that even Shi Yanei used the excuse of settling his companions and was unwilling to step into the courtyard again, but the little girl Huang E didn't care at all about the corpses everywhere and the thick smell of blood. She kept holding Shi Chuan's free left hand and chatting with Shi Chuan in between words.
The two spoke in a disjointed manner. Seeing someone in the courtyard, Huang E would warily stop talking and smile at the person, appearing dazed and always slow to react. But Miss Chu didn't care at all. She only wanted to rescue all the girls as quickly as possible and then... escape from the courtyard.
The servant went to fetch water again. While waiting for the cold water, Miss Chu paced back and forth in the room anxiously. Occasionally, she heard a few words floating in her ears. It was Shi Chuan's voice: "The (lie) you made up sounds like..."
Miss Chu quickly stopped, but could no longer hear the sound. After hesitating for a moment, she walked to the window and looked out through the crack.
This Taoist temple was wealthy, and the windows were covered with gauze instead of paper. The gauze was impervious to poking, so Miss Chu could only peer out through the crack in the window, seeing the two people in the courtyard opening and closing their mouths, but she could hear no sound.
Miss Chu reminisced. As one of the most talented women in Haizhou City, she had read many miscellaneous books and was somewhat familiar with the rumors about the Drum Corridor and the Echo Wall. After a moment's consideration, she began to slowly retrace her steps. When she reached a certain point in the house, another voice drifted into her ears. It was Huang E's voice: "...Only by saying this can..."
Miss Chu moved her body slightly, and her ears moved only a few centimeters, and she could hear nothing again.
