Chapter 28 Self-rescue in the van
As soon as Kuang Tun finished speaking, everyone who was originally afraid immediately rushed out.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to run, but they have been locked up here for several days. Not only are they not well fed, but they are also drugged every day. They are extremely nervous and their whole bodies are sore. It’s already great that they can still walk.
The thin girl walking at the end was staggering, and it was obvious that she was having health problems.
Seeing that everyone was walking out, Kuang Tun raised his hands, picked up the two children on the ground, and followed behind.
Liu Guobin was guarding outside the cellar. After seeing the girls line up and come out, he cast a gloomy and ferocious look on each of them. In the dark night, everyone's scalp tingled.
"Be conscious and follow me. Don't even think about running away! In this deep forest, no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out! Instead, you will be eaten by wild beasts!"
"If I find out that anyone of you is trying to escape, you may not be able to bear the consequences after being caught by me!"
After shocking everyone, Liu Guobin turned and walked towards the van.
The frightened girls followed him in fear with tears in their eyes.
Liu Guobin opened the car door and motioned for everyone to get in.
Inside the van, except for the driver's seat and the front passenger seat, all the other seats in the back were removed.
Jiang Ning was lying in the empty and dirty car at this moment.
She closed her eyes and did not move.
The first person who climbed into the car didn't notice that there was a person lying inside the car. When his hands accidentally touched Jiang Ning's body, he was so scared that his body went limp. Fortunately, she had a tape covering her mouth so she couldn't scream. Otherwise, if she suddenly screamed and scared Liu Guobin and the others, she would definitely be beaten.
A dazzling light shone in. Kuang Tun bit a flashlight in his mouth and walked forward with the two unconscious children in his hands. His obscene and greedy eyes fell on the girls who were climbing into the car. After everyone was on the bus, Kuang Tun threw the two children in and slammed the door shut.
This time, Liu Guobin was driving, and Kuang Tun was sitting in the passenger seat. He said flatteringly, "Brother Liu, I'm going to take a nap. Call me when you get tired of driving."
"Um."
Liu Guobin responded.
The engine started slowly, and the van was driving on the country road. The body of the van was shaking, and several girls huddled together with pale faces, feeling uncomfortable all over.
In the darkness, Jiang Ning, who had originally closed his eyes, opened them.
She moved her body gently, raised her knees and moved them closer to her body, bent her upper body slightly and leaned forward, reached her hand along her calf into her socks, and took out a folding machete.
These were the ones Jiang Ning had hidden in her shoes and socks before she went out, one handful in each foot.
Jiang Ning fumbled to take out the folding machete, fumbled for a while, and then began to cut the rope in his hand.
The rope He Hui used to tie her up was a hemp rope as thick as her little finger, and Jiang Ning slowly cut it in the dark.
Jiang Ning slept alone on one side, while the other girls huddled together for warmth like little animals, curled up in the opposite corner, and it was unclear whether they were asleep or not.
They didn't sit next to Jiang Ning, which was actually good news for Jiang Ning.
In this way, Jiang Ning's little movements would not be noticed by them.
Jiang Ning was very patient. He held the folding machete in one hand and moved the other hand back and forth, causing the rope to rub back and forth on the sharp blade.
The mountain road was rugged and the van was swaying back and forth. The sharp blade would occasionally pierce Jiang Ning's delicate skin, sending bursts of pain down her arm. However, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged, and she continued with her actions without saying a word.
After about ten minutes, one of the ropes finally broke.
Jiang Ning loosened her hands, and her wrists, which had been tied, were freed.
Jiang Ning silently moved his wrist, slightly turned sideways, changed to a relatively more comfortable position, then took the folding machete and cut the hemp rope tied around his ankle.
After her hands were free, her movements became much easier, and the machete's blade was sharp, so the hemp rope on her feet was untied in just ten minutes.
No one noticed the whole process.
Jiang Ning put away the folding knife, lay on the ground, and waited for the opportunity.
Kuang Tun and Liu Guobin are both grown men, and the van is still on the move, so it would be unsafe for her to act rashly.
As for untying the other girls in the car, the thought only popped up in Jiang Ning's mind for half a second before he suppressed it.
She had just secretly observed that more than half of the girls on the bus were underage, and she didn't know how long they had been captured. It seemed that their steps were very weak, and after getting on the bus, they were like sickly chicks, curled up in a corner and didn't move.
Risking being discovered by the two traffickers in the car by untying them would do more harm than good.
Jiang Ning held tightly in her hands the two hemp ropes that bound her hands and feet. Since Kuang Tun had just said that they would take turns driving, they would probably stop at least once along the way.
This time, it is Jiang Ning's best chance to save himself and the others in the car.
Jiang Ning was lying in the back of the car, eyes closed, conscious and clear-headed, just like the king of animals in nature who had set a trap and were waiting for their prey to take the bait. All the unpleasant smells around her could not affect her at all.
Time passed by minute by minute, and no one knew how long it had been before Kuang Tun's voice broke the silence in the car: "Brother Liu, can you stop the car for a while? I want to go to the bathroom."
Liu Guobin didn't want to waste time, and kept his foot on the accelerator: "There's a bottle on your door, deal with it in the car."
Kuang Tun was a little embarrassed: "I was so happy to receive a call from my mother tonight that I ate too much and I want to go to the bathroom."
Liu Guobin frowned and stepped on the brake impatiently: "Go quickly, I'll drive for another hour and then you can drive."
"Okay!" Kuang Tun responded, picked up the tissue from the car, got out quickly, and ran into the forest next to him.
Jiang Ning opened her eyes. She didn't expect the opportunity she wanted would come so soon.
It would take at least a few minutes for Kuang Tun to come back. Jiang Ning did not move immediately, but waited patiently for a while.
In the driver's seat, Liu Guobin took out his mobile phone, rubbed it for a while, and clicked on the short video.
The phone was playing loudly. Jiang Ning didn't expect such a pleasant surprise, but she knew that the more favorable the situation was for her, the more she should not rush into things.
Covered by the sound of the phone, Jiang Ning slowly sat up and squatted behind the driver's seat.
Among the girls who were huddled together, one of them woke up drowsily. When she saw Jiang Ning sitting up from lying down, she didn't feel anything. Until she saw Jiang Ning slowly stand up with his hands and feet not tied, the girl subconsciously became a little excited. When she moved her legs, she accidentally touched other debris in the car, making a slight noise.
The sound was very small, but Liu Guobin, who was watching a short video, still heard it.
I spent the whole day at work handing out flyers. It was so tiring. How come only three little cuties voted for this book?
