When everyone heard this, they were not too sad. Their lives were almost gone, so how could their wife, a powerless woman, and their underage children survive?
“Magistrate Li, it’s alright if you miss your child. Once we’re out of here, I’ll help you find him. I’m sure I can find him. But if you miss your wife, I can’t help you.”
Now that her wife is gone, she has no other choice. She doesn't know how to bring the dead back to life.
"Okay, okay!"
"Have we really been kidnapped by human traffickers?"
"Yes, don't disbelieve me. Look at these old men for yourself. They are all good people, yet they are locked up here."
Lian Mulan lowered her head and remained silent.
"Come, stretch out your hand so I can feel your pulse and check your injuries." Lian Mulan only then noticed that his injuries were bandaged.
"The girl saved me?"
"Yes, you were seriously injured when you were thrown into the carriage. I was still tied up at that time, so I tried to untie the ropes and apply medicine to you. By the way, my last name is Ji, Ji Yingying, but you can call me Ji San."
[Host, why are you explaining it so clearly?]
[This isn't influenced by storybooks. Those girls, they save people, don't even leave their names or anything, and then some scheming woman comes along and claims all the credit!]
"You're right. This isn't the first time we've heard of something like this. You did the right thing. We can't let someone claim credit for our work. Even if we don't ask for anything from them, they might reciprocate and earn us a few taels of silver, right?"
Yes, even a small amount of meat is still meat, and if it's rightfully ours, we should take it.
"Young man, look, I cut my hand trying to apply medicine to you, otherwise you wouldn't be here!"
Magistrate Li: I never expected you to be like this, Lord Ji.
"Lian Mulan thanks Miss Ji for saving her life. If anything happens to her in the future, she will definitely go through fire and water for her!"
Yes, yes, that's it, that's how it should be.
"Hey, come here, let me take a look at you. I'll give you some medicine so you can run tomorrow without having to be carried. Besides, no one can carry you. Look at these people. They have no strength left."
"good"
Ji Yingying took his pulse, applied new medicine, and took out more than a dozen boxes of self-heating rice.
"Steam this and eat it, it's very fragrant." Ji Yingying taught him how to steam it, while she went to take the pulses of other people.
"Come here, everyone. I'll take a look at you. Even though you can't see the sun, you can't harm your health." Ji Yingying took everyone's pulse one by one and took out medicine from her bag.
"Come on, eat now, eat and drink your fill, and get a good night's sleep. You never know, you might run away tomorrow."
Smelling the aroma of the self-heating pot, everyone felt hopeful. After eating their fill, Lian Mulan asked, "Miss Ji San, your bag is surprisingly powerful. It can hold a lot of things."
Ji Yingying: ...Can I tell you that it was taken from space? That's not possible?
"Haha... Yeah, I still have two self-heating hot pots in this bag. Once they're gone, there really won't be any left. Wait a minute, I'm wearing men's clothes. How did you know I'm a girl?"
Ji Yingying was puzzled. She had changed into men's clothing, so how could they still recognize her? It seemed that all those women dressed as men were blind.
Lian Mulan pointed at her head and whispered, "Your hair is still a girl's hairstyle."
"What?" Ji Yingying patted her forehead, realizing she had been careless!
I'm so done with myself, I completely forgot to change my hair and makeup. If I change now, I'll be staying in Jiangnan for ages.
Ji Yingying immediately fixed her hairstyle, and then asked, "Do you think I still look like a girl now?"
Lian Mulan: ………
"Come here, I'll help you fix it." Lian Mulan knew that this young lady was also from a wealthy family, but her courage and bearing were probably extraordinary.
"I'm sorry!" He helped her re-tie her hair, and Ji Yingying felt a little more comfortable.
Ancient hairstyles were such a pain! Thank goodness I have Apple, who styles my hair every day, otherwise I'd rather just let it all down.
Yeah, you're just a useless piece of trash now, you can't do anything.
Heh, I can't be bothered with you.
"Thank you, big brother!" Ji Yingying smiled at him and sat down to continue gossiping with Xiangxiang.
[Xiangxiang, how is Rong Er doing now? Has he been caught?]
Are you worried about Rong Er?
I'm not worried about him; I'm worried I won't be able to escape.
Don't worry, you won't die. They don't want your life; they just want to lock you up so you can never get out.
Do you now know this organization's intentions?
I don't know.
"Then why did you say I'll never be able to get out?"
[Just like them. Besides, the fact that they were able to kidnap you in our own home means it was premeditated. They're probably from the same group that poisoned you last time.]
[Who did I offend? Tell me...] Ji Yingying was really angry. She was staying on the wall and doing well. Even if she couldn't eat melons every day, she could still read storybooks.
Ever since that Crown Prince Laozi appeared, she has become the target of everyone's pursuit. You see, the emperor was so worried about her that he murdered her and sent a secret guard to her.
Besides, although it goes against ancestral rules for a woman to serve as an official, she is willing to take off her official robes. Everything is negotiable.
"Waaah..." Just as Ji Yingying was about to start cursing, she suddenly heard a series of cries, which were very pitiful.
"What's that sound?"
"Oh, it's next door. There are women and children imprisoned next door."
"What the hell?" Ji Yingying frowned. It seemed that quite a few people were being held in this area.
Suddenly the door opened, the crying became louder, someone came in, threw in a basket, cursed a few words and then closed the door again.
"Is it time to deliver the meal? Is it in the evening? Or in the morning?" Ji Yingying didn't think it would be at noon, because it was almost evening when they came in, but they had been in there for a long time.
If it's not right at night, it's not right in the morning either.
It's nighttime, midnight. They're trying to obscure the time for the people inside.
[You're smart!]
See if there are any other rumors.
That's all. Anyway, Anmin County is in chaos right now. The other counties, while not in chaos, aren't having an easy time either. Jiangnan City is even more chaotic. Since we need money, we also need people.
Alright, let's wait. Once Rong Er returns, we'll leave and punish him slowly.
Everyone had eaten their fill, and no one touched the steamed buns. Seeing that no one was touching them, Ji Yingying said, "Aren't you going to put these steamed buns away?"
“We won’t take them. These people won’t care about us. If we starve to death, they’ll just drag us out and bury us. We’re all scared.”
"Okay." Ji Yingying walked over and put all the steamed buns into her backpack.
I'll take it with me. Although I have enough to eat and drink, I can't waste it. I'll feed it to the chicks when I get back.
[Yes, we can't waste food, host. I have a feeling Rong Er is coming back.]
