Shangguan Wanning woke up in a daze and felt that the objects around her were shaking. She was a little confused and dizzy.
She couldn't remember how many days and nights it had been.
When she was first captured, she was still hoping that her grandfather and uncle would come to rescue her. After all, she had not returned for a long time, so they must have discovered her.
But as time went by, she was taken further and further away, and her heart was almost filled with despair.
The only thing you can do is to save yourself.
Shangguan Wanning finally lost her sleepiness.
Suddenly, the door opened and a drunken man rushed in, looking back and forth at a dozen girls. He threw away the bottle in his hand, grabbed the girl closest to him and kissed her.
The girl was so frightened that she was limp and trembling all over. For a moment she even forgot to resist and was carried out by the big man like a chicken.
Soon, a girl's heart-wrenching scream was heard outside the door.
Shangguan Wanning closed her eyes in pain and despair.
She knew that the girl must have been abused.
This kind of thing happened almost every day. The captured girls had no ability to resist. They lost their innocence one by one, and Shangguan Wanning didn't know when it would be her turn.
About an incense stick of time later, the girl was carried back.
She was naked and covered with scars. Her messy hair covered most of her face. Her desperate eyes shed tears of grief.
Shangguan Wanning's heart twitched violently. She secretly took a deep breath. She absolutely could not sit still and wait for death.
As her mind was racing, her sight fixed on a broken wine bottle not far away.
Her eyes lit up, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.
Shangguan Wanning crawled over bit by bit, picked up a piece of debris with her backhand, then sat back in the corner and began to cut the rope quietly.
Late at night, her wrists loosened and the rope really broke.
She stood up excitedly, shook her almost numb wrist, and gently patted the girl closest to her.
The girl opened her eyes and saw that Shangguan Wanning was untied. When she was about to speak, her mouth was covered.
"Don't scream, don't alarm the guards."
The girl opened her eyes wide and nodded vigorously.
Shangguan Wanning also untied her and whispered, "You untie the other sisters now. I'll go outside to check the situation and then come back to meet you. Remember, you must be quiet. If you are discovered, you won't be able to escape."
"Okay." The girl nodded timidly.
Shangguan Wan Ning shook her hand, then mustered up her courage and walked out.
The guards probably didn't take these weak girls seriously, so they didn't even lock the door.
She saw two big guards who were drunk and sleeping on the ground.
She walked carefully past the two big men, turned a corner, and saw a wooden ladder. She was slightly stunned. Where were they?
Shangguan Wanning mustered up the courage to climb the wooden ladder. She held her breath and listened to the noise, making sure that there was no one outside before she dared to stick her head out.
When she climbed out of the wooden ladder, she was stunned.
She was actually on a big ship.
It's over now.
The ocean is so vast that there is nowhere to run.
Just when Shangguan Wanning was at a loss, she heard footsteps behind her. She quickly thought of a way out and hid behind some debris beside her.
She was a little scared and didn't dare to breathe.
Two shadows stopped beside her.
"It's really awful. We have to do all the dirty work, while they themselves hide in the cabin and eat and drink delicious food. Ugh!"
"Well, think about it. We are just servants. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the life raft is still very important. It will give us some peace of mind if it is repaired."
"Anyway, I just feel uncomfortable. Hey, I'm going to go downstairs and find a girl to relax with. Do you want to come?"
"I won't go. I advise you not to go either. The boss has already said that these women have been bought. If they are tortured too badly or get pregnant, they will have to pay money."
Shangguan Wanning's heart was in a knot.
If they go down, won’t they be discovered?
She heard one of them swearing, but he finally left.
Shangguan Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, and she cheered herself up and walked towards the direction where the two people had come from.
She groped in the bright moonlight and found the raft and boat to escape.
Now there is hope.
Shangguan Wanning found the kitchen again, packed some dry food in the kitchen, and filled a dozen water bags with water, and moved them all to the lifeboat and hid them.
Then she returned to the cabin where they were held and explained the situation to the girls.
"Let's go out quietly now and work together to put the boat into the sea. Remember, be careful and try not to make any noise."
The girls were all very scared, but they still nodded in agreement.
Shangguan Wanning tied up the two big men who were guarding the boat, and took the girls to the lifeboat under the cover of night.
"In the vast ocean, this boat is so small... How can it accommodate so many of us? And how can it withstand strong winds and waves?"
"Yes, if it capsizes, won't we all be buried in the sea?"
The two timid girls didn't dare to try and backed away.
Shangguan Wanning also understood their concerns.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. If you don't want to leave, I won't force you."
"I'm leaving. Even if I die in the sea, it's better than being abused by those beasts."
"Yes, I'm leaving too. I...I want to give it a try."
Just as everyone was discussing whether to leave or stay, they heard a few "thumps", which were particularly loud in the quiet night.
Shangguan Wanning turned around and saw that the dozen or so water bags she had prepared had been thrown into the sea.
She was horrified and turned her eyes to the girl who threw the water bag.
"What are you doing? Do you know that being without water is more serious than being without food?"
"Humph." The girl sneered, suddenly turned around and grabbed Shangguan Wanning's throat, scolding her viciously, "You guys are just a bunch of trash, and you still want to run away?"
A sharp pain came and Shangguan Wan Ning struggled subconsciously. The other girls were frightened and stepped back one after another.
A loyal girl picked up a stick on the ground and hit the girl.
The girl waved her hand and knocked the girl off the boat and into the sea.
Others were even more afraid to move.
Just when Shangguan Wanning was about to suffocate, a hurried and messy sound of footsteps was heard, and several big men holding steel knives rushed over.
"You useless guys, you can't even watch over a few little girls. What are you still standing there for? Take them all back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw Shangguan Wan Ning to the ground.
