Chapter 62 Escape (Plot, the male protagonist...
Zhuang Fang was stunned, her heart skipping a beat when she was questioned.
Discovered
impossible.
She took away all the communication tools on Sheng Baili at the first opportunity, making it impossible for him to ask for help.
Perhaps because she felt guilty, or perhaps because she found it difficult to deal with the cold questioning from the other side, Zhuang Fang spoke a few words briefly and hung up the phone immediately.
Afraid that he would call again, Zhuang Fang turned off her phone.
Back in the car, Zhuang Fang glared at Sheng Baili unhappily.
She just flirts with men in general and is not serious at all.
I don't know how they made so much money.
I guess it came from an illegal source, so I don’t give it to my family.
Sheng Baili turned his head and looked out the window without saying a word, without even glancing at Zhuang Fang.
After walking along the mountain road, I finally saw the hazy outline of a village.
The house is a dilapidated adobe house with few people. It is located in the mountains and is like a barrier, separating it from the outside world. It is quiet and dilapidated. Occasionally, there are the sounds of chickens and dogs barking, but they cannot cover up the vast and desolate feeling.
Through the car window, Sheng Baili saw several villagers. They had sallow complexions and were wearing loose, coarse cloth clothes.
The temperature here is quite high, it must be quite far south.
It was so far away from S City, and I had no idea how many sleeping pills I was fed while I was unconscious.
Sheng Baili realized it belatedly and felt a chill. The feeling of completely losing consciousness and control made her scalp tingle.
A dark cloud of despair hung over her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
No, it can't end like this.
Under the extremely anxious situation, Sheng Baili's stomach ached a few times.
He hadn't eaten or drunk water for a long time, so his stomach felt empty and rumbling. He felt an unbearable burning sensation, almost like sour water, which made Sheng Baili feel a sharp pain.
The car stopped in front of a simple house. Zhuang Fang got out and then roughly pulled Sheng Baili out of the car.
Sheng Baili felt dizzy and was pulled out of the car so forcefully that his legs went weak and he knelt directly on the rough ground.
The soil in the mountains was hard and rough, mixed with rocks and gravel. The moment Sheng Baili fell on his knees, blood came out.
it hurts.
But with her hands and feet tied, Sheng Baili couldn't stand up. Unable to bear the pain, she lay on the ground, curled up helplessly.
"Why are you pretending? Get up!" Zhuang Fang had no patience. Her hands were very strong from years of hard work. She grabbed Sheng Bai's wrist and pulled him up.
She stumbled all the way, her knees bleeding and she was almost unconscious from the pain. Zhuang Fang took her to a dim room.
"The Zhao family will be coming over for dinner tonight, so don't make too much noise. If you go to someone else's house, they won't show mercy if they beat you up," Zhuang Fang warned her.
Sheng Baili hung his head and said nothing. Zhuang Fang saw this as a sign of resignation. She took out a pack of biscuits from her bag, threw them into Sheng Baili's arms, and untied the ropes on her hands.
"Stay still and don't even think about running away. There are mountains all around here for fifty miles. You can't leave. It's a good opportunity to have a child during the holiday."
Sheng Baili was so hungry that her vision went dark, her eyes were blurry, and she looked very frightened. She took the biscuit in her hands and gobbled it up without listening to a word Zhuang Fang said.
Zhuang Fang looked at her starving face with pity, and took out a bottle of mineral water from the side and threw it in front of Sheng Baili.
The door creaked shut, and the faint light outside disappeared.
The dilapidated house was pitch black, and there was an unpleasant moldy smell in the air. It had not been cleaned for a long time, and dust was everywhere. Sheng Baili coughed twice in unbearable pain.
Grabbing the bottle of mineral water on the ground, Sheng Baili tilted his head back and took a big gulp. The thirsty feeling that was gripping his heart was relieved a little.
Her lips became dry and chapped because she hadn't had any water for a long time.
It was getting dark and the dim room was very depressing. Sheng Baili touched her knees and found the blood had already coagulated there. She tried to stand up, but her legs were tied so tightly by the rope that she had no support at all.
Sheng Baili's thin body slid down the wall. He squatted in the corner, hugging his legs weakly, his head against his knees, almost unable to breathe.
She should have gone immediately when Lu Zhouyan invited her to his house.
Instead of continuing to stay in a fake home.
That wasn't her home at all.
She could have sought warmth and care from many people, but because of her soft-heartedness and negligence, she fell into the trap set by Zhuang Fang and is now in an irreversible situation.
Thinking of the kidnapping scene she had seen on TV, Sheng Baili's heart kept sinking. No, she didn't want that. Sheng Baili huddled in a corner, her body shaking with fear.
After a long time, the broken door was pushed open from the outside.
The dazzling flashlight light came through the door. Sheng Baili subconsciously raised his hand to block the light and squinted his eyes, unable to adapt for a moment.
"Come out."
The person who spoke was Sheng Guowei.
Seeing Sheng Baili squatting there motionless, he found a small knife to cut the rope on her feet, and then took Sheng Baili to another family's house.
The house was brightly lit, but the furnishings were simple. There were some decent furniture, but at first glance they looked very poor.
The betrothal money I paid must have emptied my family's savings.
Sheng Baili suppressed the dark light in his eyes and sat down on the chair obediently.
Seeing her keeping her head down and being silent, Zhuang Fang felt more relieved.
Zhao's mother brought the dishes to the table and was puzzled when she saw that the girl looked obedient and sensible.
Zhuang Fang said that her daughter had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with, and that she was like a firecracker that would explode at the slightest word. But today, she appeared to be quiet and well-behaved.
Mother Zhao looked at Sheng Baili and forgot her name: "Your name is...?"
Sheng Baili read out his own name lightly.
"Oh, Baili, that's right, Baili." Mother Zhao nodded repeatedly, "This name sounds nice."
There are only two people in the Zhao family, Zhao's mother and Zhao Shi. Zhao's father died in an accident while working in a factory in the first half of the year. The factory lost a large sum of money, so there was money for Zhao Shi to get married. However, Zhao Shi is very picky. Zhao's mother introduced many girls to him, but he was not satisfied with any of them.
That day, Zhuang Fang posted a photo of her daughter in the group. Zhao's mother just showed it to Zhao Shi. Unexpectedly, he was fascinated by it.
He was determined to spend all his money to marry her.
Mother Zhao had only this one son and depended on him for everything. Seeing how much her son liked her, there was no reason for her to disagree, so she contacted Zhuang Fang immediately.
The two families hit it off immediately and finalized the marriage.
Fearing that Sheng Baili had a bad temper and might commit suicide after returning, Zhuang Fang gave the Zhao family a preventive shot in advance.
I didn't expect Sheng Baili's bones to be so soft. His back bent after just two days of training. He was very docile.
The dishes were served and the four of them sat at the table, discussing the marriage. Sheng Baili remained silent.
But this is normal for them. Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. It’s up to the adults to discuss it, and the younger generation doesn’t need to interfere.
After a while, Zhao Shi returned home carrying a bamboo basket.
From a distance, he saw a figure with beautiful hair.
Slender and graceful, with skin so white that it seemed to glow. She noticed his burning gaze and turned her head to look back. At that moment, everything was silent and Zhao Shi could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat, which was getting louder and louder.
The girl's pure and clear eyes seemed to have little hooks that hooked his heart and soul away.
So, so beautiful. Her facial features are infinitely more delicate than in the photo.
Zhao Shi watched so much that he forgot to blink and just stood there in a daze.
Sheng Baili glanced at the man's eyes that were staring at her, frowned, and had a guess in his mind.
All the dishes were served and the five of them ate together with their bowls.
The dishes looked average and not very appetizing, but Sheng Baili persevered and ate a little.
"Xiaobai, can you cook?" Zhao's mother asked her.
"will not."
"No," Zhao's mother was a little surprised.
Zhuang Fang quickly explained, "If you don't know how to do it, you can learn. If you have good hands and feet, you can learn how to cook for your family. Let Bai Li do it."
Sheng Baili used chopsticks to stir the rice in the bowl with an expressionless face.
Mother Zhao: "That's true, but my cooking is just average, so I can't teach you much."
Zhuang Fang: "That's easy. We are college students. We can learn a lot online. I'm sure you will be satisfied with my cooking skills."
Zhao's mother: "Oh, I have heard that college students have strong learning abilities."
Zhao's mother and Zhuang Fang were chatting animatedly.
Zhao Shi never took his eyes off Sheng Baili. When he thought about such a beautiful girl marrying him, he felt an indescribable excitement.
So this is what love at first sight feels like.
The sticky gaze was fixed on him, and the discomfort became more and more intense. Sheng Baili pinched his palm hard.
Sheng Baili quickly finished a bowl of rice. Zhuang Fang asked her to wash the dishes. Sheng Baili looked at the greasy and stained kitchen and felt like vomiting.
She glanced at Zhao Shi, but he just looked at her with a hateful gaze and said nothing. Zhao Shi didn't know where he was staring at, but his eyes gradually became hot.
Sheng Baili used the excuse that he had a stomachache.
The acting skills came naturally. Sheng Baili leaned dejectedly against the back of the chair, her face pale and the light in her eyes dimmed. She pressed her stomach with one hand and looked weak and pitiful.
"Ah, I don't feel well." Mother Zhao frowned and looked at Sheng Baili's delicate skin, thin arms and legs.
He lowered his head and spoke quietly to Zhuang Fang.
"This girl is too thin. It's hard for her to have children."
Zhuang Fang comforted her, "She just looks thin, but she still has some flesh on her body. She will definitely have no problem having a baby."
Zhao's mother reluctantly felt relieved and did not force Sheng Baili to wash the dishes. She let her sit down and rest.
Sheng Baili nodded, tilted his head and coughed a few times, each cough getting louder and louder. After turning his head back, his round eyes filled with a few tears from his coughing, and he looked even sicker.
Zhao Shi felt sorry for the man and pulled him into his room to rest.
"Bai, Baili." He stuttered twice, "Hello."
"Hello."
Sheng Baili opened his lips with an indifferent expression.
But in Zhao Shi's eyes, this weak and quiet look made him even more moved.
"Are all the college students out there as pretty as you?" Zhao Shi asked.
He spoke with a strong dialect, and Sheng Baili could barely hear what he was saying.
"Oh, that's about right." Sheng Baili came up with an idea and turned his head to ask Zhao Shi, "I have a lot of beautiful photos on WeChat, do you want to see them?"
Under the close gaze, her beautiful face was pure and sexy, and her breath was as fragrant as orchid. She was obviously not sitting on anything, but Zhao Shi felt that he was being seduced.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Shi stammered, "I want to see it."
Under Zhao Shi's nose, Sheng Baili logged into his WeChat.
"Let's see if we can send a message." The moment he logged into the account, Sheng Baili felt a faint hope in his heart, and excitedly asked Haicha to take action.
[Okay, I'll give it a try.]
After a few minutes, there was still no response.
[No, host. I can't control this phone. I can't send messages.]
Sheng Baili's heart skipped a beat, and the feeling of despair made her dizzy for a moment.
The news was not released, no one knew she was kidnapped, and no one knew she was here.
No one could save her.
Sheng Baili's face turned pale in the true sense, and cold sweat kept coming out of his palms.
Zhao Shi, who was standing by, looked at her WeChat eagerly, still waiting for photos. Sheng Baili perfunctorily found a few photos from her Moments and said, "That's all."
Zhao Shi glanced at her a few times, but he wasn't very interested. He looked away from his phone and stared at Sheng Baili with his bright black eyes, "You look better in person."
"Are you going to sleep here tonight?" Zhao Shi's eyes looked more and more strange, and finally became a bit aggressive, which made Sheng Baili feel numb.
Zhao Shi: "I'll go ask Aunt Zhuang."
The broken wooden door provided better than no sound insulation. Sheng Baili heard Zhuang Fang laughing and scolding him for being impatient, and then she said it wouldn't be too late to sleep together after the wedding tomorrow.
Are you getting married tomorrow?
They were chatting and laughing outside, as if this was a huge happy event, but Sheng Baili's heels were shaking and he couldn't even stand steadily.
Zhuang Fang: "The banquet has been arranged. Tomorrow morning, we will marry her off in a grand ceremony. From now on, Bai Li will be a member of your Zhao family!"
Zhao Shi didn't expect it to happen so quickly. When he heard the news, his eyes lit up with excitement and he said "yes" several times.
Perhaps it was because Sheng Baili behaved very docilely today, like a harmless lamb. After bringing him home, Zhuang Fang relaxed her vigilance a little and only tied Sheng Baili's feet, not tying them very tightly.
I learned from them that they had to get up at five o'clock the next morning, put on makeup and get dressed, and by then they would really have no chance at all.
Sheng Baili didn't want his life to end here.
At 2:30 in the morning, the empty forest was silent and everyone fell into a deep sleep.
Sheng Baili used his teeth to untie the restraints on his feet and climbed out of the window quietly like a ghost.
The window was very old, and when she got out, it made a sharp creaking sound, which frightened Sheng Baili. She looked around quickly, fearing that she would be discovered.
Now she is not afraid of a ghost, as long as it is not a human.
The temperature difference in the mountains is large, so you can wear a thin long gown during the day, but a thick coat at night. Sheng Baili rubbed her arms, walked quietly into the yard in the dark, and picked up the black scarf that Zhuang Fang had thrown on the stool. This was given to her by Lu Zhouyan.
Sheng Baili put on the scarf and was surprised to pick up a flashlight from the side.
In the chaos, Sheng Baili started to escape with a flashlight.
The forest was dense, and occasionally she could hear rustling sounds in the grass, probably snakes.
It seemed as if there was a tightly tied string in the air that could break at any time.
Sheng Baili calmed down, walked in the mountains for a while, and found a river! She picked up a longer branch to explore the way and continued walking along the river.
It was quiet all around. Sheng Baili was actually very afraid of the dark. She couldn't help shaking her hands holding the flashlight because of fear. Sheng Baili pulled her scarf higher to cover her mouth and nose, and smelled the faint scent of soap, and then she felt a little relieved.
[Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. If you walk along the river, you should be able to find a rural road, and the road will be easier to walk on.]
Sheng Baili was wearing long trousers, but there were many trees along the way, and the thick or sharp branches would always cut her trousers if she was not careful.
His knees were still aching slightly, and his calves and arms had new injuries. With a burst of intense pain, Sheng Baili endured the pain and walked forward carefully.
You need to speed up while paying attention to the road conditions under your feet to avoid tripping.
The sky was deathly black. Suddenly, a flock of crows flapped their wings and flew across the sky. They seemed to be awakened by something. Their dark shadows left behind an unknown smell.
Sheng Baili was sweating all over, and her calves were trembling. But there was no way out, she had to leave here as soon as possible.
The night covered her with an invisibility cloak, but the strange thing was that the surroundings were extremely quiet. It was unclear whether Sheng Baili was hallucinating in her extreme fear.
She always felt like someone was watching her, and that chilling feeling down her spine wouldn't go away.
In the distance, Sheng Baili saw a small path taking shape.
It’s a country road!
Sheng Baili's eyes lit up and he rushed over at full speed.
But after running a few steps, Sheng Baili keenly noticed that something was wrong.
There were several ghostly black shadows standing on the road!
The coolness rose from the soles of her feet, and she was trapped in an endless vicious circle.
The villagers who had been spying on her for a long time appeared in the darkness. They turned on their flashlights and shot at Sheng Baili in unison as if they were identifying a criminal.
The strong light made Sheng Baili close his eyes subconsciously.
She forced herself to open her eyelids despite the discomfort.
…seeing those expressionless villagers walking towards me step by step.
