Tiger head mountain.
Shiya hid along the way, his body covered with wounds from the thorns of the bushes. They were prickly and itchy, but he couldn't scratch them.
But this is not the most important thing. The most unbearable thing is the rumbling hunger in the stomach!
From yesterday when she left the border to this evening, it has been two days and one night. This is the second night, and she regrets it. Why did she only eat one toasted bun because she was angry? The canned beef smelled so good, why did she make things difficult for herself?
Now that my stomach is empty and I feel more regretful, I am also wondering why I didn’t think of putting some food into the space?
But this thought was fleeting, and she also understood that since Xiao Yue clearly wanted to kill her, even if she really stored food in the space, when the two of them shared the same space, he might easily take away all the food. What a black-hearted bastard!
[Ding——Trigger event——Trigger the strategy to capture Xiao Yue, and automatically gain 1% favorability. ]
Shiya paused slightly, a suspicious expression appeared on his face, and then he rolled his eyes.
She sneered and muttered to herself: "Crocodile tears!"
Suddenly, there was a strong light from a car in the distance. Two cars drove past the mountain road, one in front and one behind, honking their horns. Shi's face changed slightly. He hid in the bushes and did not move, watching the car stop and a woman got out of the driver's seat.
This man was the human trafficker who kidnapped them. After she went back to inform the hideout, it seemed that all the people came out now.
Hutou Mountain is a hidden location. If they really want to let them run away, the place where these human traffickers have been operating for many years will be burned down. It is a very serious problem. Naturally, they dare not neglect or underestimate it. They are determined to capture everyone back tonight.
Shi also frowned. There were eight people kidnapped in the car, all of them were young lesbians without children. Their running strength was definitely not as good as men's. However, the jungle on Hutou Mountain was dense and there were wild beasts in it. If they were lucky and found a hiding place to avoid wild beasts and human traffickers, they might have a chance to escape. But if they walked into the trap and entered the mountain village, they would be like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
She planned to stay in the mountains, avoid human traffickers along the way, and find a way down the mountain. Since they were active in Ling'an City, Hutou Mountain should be close to the city. As long as she could return to Ling'an City and take the train back to Yandu, everything would be fine.
She is now in a difficult situation and can hardly save herself, let alone those female comrades who have suffered together with her.
Shiya pulled her leaky collar, glanced at the human traffickers who were walking into the forest with flashlights, pursed her lips, bent over and continued walking deep into the mountains. Between the human traffickers and the beasts, she chose to face the latter.
She is strong and can still fight against the wild beasts, but these human traffickers are numerous and have tools, so they cannot fight her head-on. As long as she goes deep, the traffickers will give up the search because they are afraid of the wild beasts in the mountains.
The human traffickers are out in full force and will surely conduct a carpet search. This is her only chance.
However, just after taking two steps, Shi Ye's face changed. He clenched the wooden stick in his hand and swung it back violently.
"Ah!" He said in a low voice filled with fear, trembling, "Comrade, it's me."
Shi Ye paused slightly and frowned as she looked at the vague silhouette in the night. This person was none other than the comrade who had sat next to her in the carriage, a fair-skinned girl who looked very young, no more than sixteen.
Shi also put away the stick, without looking at her, turned around and continued walking into the mountains.
The human traffickers were already approaching here. It was not the time to talk nonsense. Shi Ye kept walking. When he heard the footsteps coming from behind, he frowned but did not say much. The two of them just stayed there in silence, avoiding the lights of the human traffickers.
Although the girl was young, she was very smart. As soon as the traffickers were gone, she quickly lowered her body.
Since he was not involved, Shiye did not care. However, after walking a few hundred meters, Shiye's expression changed. Looking at the village lying in the mountains, his brows were furrowed. It was already late at night, but there were still lights on in the mountains and human voices could be heard faintly. This was not normal. It should be that the human traffickers arrived at the village in advance and told them to guard the entrance.
These human traffickers operate here all year round, are very familiar with the various paths, and are fearless.
"Comrade, what should we do?" The little girl looked back at the approaching human traffickers, then at the bustling village. Her whole body was trembling. She wanted to get closer to Shiya, but was afraid that she would be annoyed. Her face had turned pale.
She followed Shiya because she saw how powerful she was when they were in the car, and she always felt that by following her, she could survive.
The little girl asked, "Should we go and ask for help? Tell the village chief to help stop these human traffickers?"
In the eyes of this young girl who is not very worldly-wise, the village chief is the village official, who is supported by the state and is trustworthy.
Shi also glanced at her and said calmly: "The human traffickers and the villagers of Hutoushan are in cahoots with each other, and they are a den of bandits. They have almost formed an industrial chain of trafficking and sales. They have the same interests and will not let us go."
Hearing this, the little girl was stunned, then her eyes were filled with despair and her body trembled even more violently.
She bit her lip, trying hard to suppress her fear and the urge to cry. If Shi hadn't been there with her and looked very calm, she would have lost control. The two of them waited quietly for a while, and the footsteps of the traffickers got closer.
Suddenly, a scream rang out from the jungle: "Ah - no, let me go! Let me go!"
The little girl was startled and her face turned pale with horror. She looked towards the source of the sound, where several flashlight beams were flashing.
"Run! Where are you running to! Why don't you just go back honestly? You can still have a full meal. Hey, Aunt Mei is really attentive this time. Look at this batch of goods. They have white skin and big eyes. I guarantee they can be sold for a good price!" The human trafficker sneered.
"Let me go, please, I'll ask my parents to give you money! Really! I'll ask them to give you money, please let me go, I'm only seventeen years old, I don't have a job yet, I...ah——" Before the frightened female voice fell, there was another scream.
The sound of slaps and the traffickers' angry voices echoed in the forest: "What nonsense!"
Shiye had a cold face and his eyes were filled with coldness. The little girl beside him covered her mouth, half squatted down, and cried softly.
She lowered her eyes and said coldly, "Stop crying! What problem can crying solve?"
The human traffickers are closing in step by step. If you can’t escape, you can only go deeper into the tiger’s den.
Mami turned her head to look at the village with the lights on and started to walk towards it. The little girl was startled and quickly grabbed her wrist: "Comrade, where are you going? Didn't you say that we can't go to that village? We can't go there!"
"I suspect that these human traffickers have set up guards at every stall down the mountain. We can't run away. Instead of being passive, we'd better eat a full meal first and then look for an opportunity." Shi was also very calm. The little girl wiped the tears from her face and followed.
She clenched her fists, a little nervous, but still suppressed her fear and said, "Comrade, I'll go with you!"
She would be even more scared if she was left here alone.
As they approached the village, the calm expression on Makiya's face turned into fear, but he sneered in his heart.
Xiao Yue sent her to the human traffickers simply because he wanted her to end up like Xia Yun.
Oh, she wouldn't let him have his wish!
