Chapter 45
"There are four alleys here." Ye Fuyue said to the old woman.
The old woman suddenly understood: "So this is it! My relatives live here. Little girl, come in with me, I want my relatives to thank you."
Ye Fuyue nodded and followed the old woman inside.
The doors in the alley were all closed, and apart from the two of them, there was no one else. Walking in the quiet and somewhat dark alley, it was so quiet that one could hear the two of them walking on foot.
When we had walked almost halfway and passed by a yard, the gate suddenly opened from the inside.
Ye Fuyue subconsciously put her whole body on guard and entered a combat state. However, thinking of the purpose of her trip, Ye Fuyue let down her guard.
Two short and strong men rushed out from the courtyard gate. One of them quickly put a sack on Ye Fuyue's head, and the other went around behind Ye Fuyue and punched her in the back. Ye Fuyue fainted.
"This girl is pretty." said the man who put a sack on Ye Fuyue's head.
The old woman sneered, "She's really pretty and will definitely fetch a good price. When I first approached her, she was quite wary. But then, when she heard my relative could thank her, she followed me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come with me."
"You still have an idea." said the man who knocked Ye Fuyue unconscious.
The old woman said in a smug tone, "I'll go hang out on the street again, maybe I can find a few silly girls."
The two men carried Ye Fuyue into the house, locked the door, and went out.
Ye Fuyue opened her eyes when she heard their footsteps walking away.
When the man came around her from behind to hit her, she slightly turned her body to change the angle. The man didn't knock her unconscious, she just pretended to be unconscious.
At this time, she still had a sack on her head and her hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes. She could neither see the surroundings clearly nor move.
She vaguely heard soft sobbing nearby, indicating that there were other people in the room besides her.
These human traffickers are so bold! It’s not enough to arrest her alone, they want to arrest several more!
With her bound hands, Ye Fuyue fumbled for the small razor blade hidden in her pocket. She then held the blade and repeatedly cut the hemp rope in her hand with her backhand. Because the angle wasn't perfect and the blade wasn't sharp enough, Ye Fuyue cut for a long time, sweating all over, before finally breaking the rope.
With her hands free, Ye Fuyue took off the sack on her head.
While untying the hemp rope on her feet, she observed the situation around her.
It was an abandoned house, empty, with nothing in it, and the doors and windows were locked tightly. Besides her, there was indeed another lesbian in the house.
The lesbian was just like before, with a sack over her head and her hands and feet tied. She was obviously terrified and kept sobbing quietly.
Ye Fuyue untied the hemp rope on her feet, went over to the female comrade, and took off the hood on her head.
The female comrade shrank back in fear. However, when she saw Ye Fuyue's face clearly, she and Ye Fuyue were both stunned.
"Ye Fuyue?"
"Zhong Lan?"
Ye Fuyue never imagined that the other abducted female comrade in the house was actually Aunt Xie's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhong Lan.
"Were you also deceived? What should we do? They seem to be human traffickers and want to sell us!" Zhong Lan was extremely scared, with tears in her eyes.
"How did you get tricked into coming here?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Zhong Lan sobbed as she spoke, "I went out to buy soy sauce, and on my way back I met an old woman. She said she was lost and was looking for her relatives who lived in Si Tiao Xiang. She asked me to show her the way. I felt sorry for her, so I wanted to help her. I took her to Si Tiao Xiang, and she asked me to go in with her, saying she wasn't sure where her relatives lived, so she asked me to look for them with her. I figured since we were already here, I might as well help the old woman."
"We hadn't walked in long when two men came out of a courtyard gate. Before I could even see their faces, they put a sack over my head and knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, I heard them say they wanted to sell me off. They also said I wasn't enough and they needed to find a few more young female comrades."
After explaining her experience, Zhong Lan looked at Ye Fuyue and asked, "Were you also tricked by the old woman?"
"Yeah, it's pretty much the same as what happened to you."
"What should I do?" Zhong Lan was filled with despair. "Our family members don't know we're being held here. Even if they want to look for us, they won't be able to find us. Are we really going to be sold by these human traffickers?"
After she finished speaking, Zhong Lan realized something belatedly. She looked at Ye Fuyue curiously: "You're not wearing a hood? Didn't they tie your hands and feet?"
"It's put on, tied up, and I cut it open." Ye Fuyue gestured with the small blade in her hand.
In the face of Zhong Lan's shock, she untied her.
Just as she was about to relax, Zhong Lan thought again, "But we can't get out like this! There's no way we can beat those two men."
"Apart from two men and an old man, who else is there?" Ye Fuyue asked as she untied the ropes.
Zhong Lan thought for a moment and said, "I only heard the voices of these three people."
"I've only seen these three people. In other words, there's a high probability that these are the only three people here." Ye Fuyue finished untying Zhong Lan: "This makes things much easier."
"Is it much easier? Do you have a way to get out?" Zhong Lan asked.
Ye Fuyue nodded and whispered her plan to her.
In the slum.
Chen Shun, Chen Guifeng, and Shen Yao returned home one after another, but none of them saw Ye Fuyue.
Chen Guifeng asked Chen Yao, "Did Fu Yue say she would be back late today?"
"She didn't say that." Shen Yao said, "She said she was going out with her friend Wu Qiaoer today, but she didn't say she would be back late."
"It's already this late and she hasn't come back yet. Could she be having dinner with her friends outside?" Chen Guifeng guessed.
Shen Yao disagreed: "If she was eating out, she would find a way to tell me and wouldn't let us worry. I'll go out and look for her."
"Where are you going to look for it?" Chen Guifeng asked.
Shen Yao didn't know where Wu Qiaoer lived, and he wasn't familiar with Wu Qiaoer.
"I'll ride my bike around the streets and look for her. If I can't find her, I'll ask Yu Tong. Yu Tong knows Wu Qiaoer, so maybe he knows where she lives."
"Okay, go find it if you want. I'll cook at home." Chen Guifeng said.
Chen Guifeng hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet. She just thought that Ye Fuyue and her friends hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were so happy that they forgot the time and came back late.
But since her son cares about his wife and wants to go find her, Chen Guifeng will not stop him.
Shen Yao rode his bicycle around the street, looking for Ye Fuyue nearby and in some places she often went to, but he didn't see Ye Fuyue.
