Anti-theft chapter ~ Thank you for subscribing to the Jinjiang Literature City ~
There is still time for everything.
Jiang Xi didn't ask why Heaven didn't just be kind and send her directly to the time before she was abducted. Instead, she felt that the timing was just right, and she felt a sense of indescribable peace of mind: perhaps after being abused for so long, being too lucky made her feel uneasy, and a little bit of luck was enough.
Jiang Xi had a deep memory of this tile-roofed house. During the countless days and nights she was beaten and abused in Sangjia Dang, she had simulated escaping countless times in her mind and knew the experience almost by heart.
"Xiaoling, go back and sit down. Someone's coming soon."
Sure enough, not long after Jiang Xi finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "clang", and the old wooden door in the countryside bounced against the wall.
A rural woman in her thirties with hair like a chicken coop came in, thrashing around. "What are you howling for? Are you all wailing? If you keep howling, I'll send you to see the King of Hell tonight!"
With a clang, an iron basin fell to the ground.
Of course, it’s not like at home where a meal of rice is served with several dishes, and you can pick and choose, and if you don’t like it, you can put down the bowl.
There was a big pot of porridge, made from old rice from who knows when, with a few rotten leaves floating on top. Occasionally, you could see the corpses of insects floating there desolately. It was common to get your teeth broken by the stones when you took a bite.
I ate porridge every meal, barely enough to avoid starvation.
Don't want to eat? Sure.
I continued to be hungry for the next two meals.
The beggars will not feel pity for the poor and weak just because you are young - apart from the little bit of human skin on the outside to deceive people, the heart in your chest is probably rotten long ago.
When the iron basin came down, the children who had been crying just now all gathered around and waited to be served porridge.
Most of them were young children like Xiaoling, at the age when they could run and jump and be hated by everyone, but they were all as quiet as chickens and too well-behaved. There were not many children as old as Jiangxi.
There are certain rules for beggars when they kidnap people; they won't take just anyone.
Young girls her age were the most popular; a fresh, juicy flower with many buyers, easy to sell, and fetching a high price. However, they wouldn't take older teenagers, as they were difficult to manage and had nowhere to go. Then there were the five- or six-year-olds, still naive and ignorant, who were also in season, often eager to buy them from families unable to bear sons.
It's Jiangxi's turn.
Jiang Xi lowered his head and took the chipped porcelain bowl, and for the first time he started eating honestly on the spot.
The porridge-delivering girl snorted coldly, apparently very satisfied with the quietness of this troublemaker, and said in a roundabout way:
"In my place, even if you were a fairy before, you have to behave yourself when you come here! Only when you are obedient can you have food to eat, otherwise..." Looking around with slanted eyes, the children couldn't help shivering and quickened the speed of eating porridge.
Of course Jiang Xi wouldn't argue with her——
That was something she had only been able to do in her previous life.
No matter how powerful the talk is, it’s useless. These people have plenty of ways to deal with troublemakers.
It was only her second day here, and she was being slammed against the wall. She needed to learn her lesson and lower her opponent's guard. As for the children around her—Jiang Xi tightened her already pitiful sympathy and pretended not to see it.
"Xiaoxi...are you full?"
A timid voice sounded, and Jiang Xi knew without turning around that it was her deskmate who was abducted together with her: Sun Ting.
In this room, there are three people of the same age as her, all women.
A female college student, who was said to have had too much fun in a nightclub and came here under the influence of drugs, had an ordinary appearance and her thin clothes had become tattered and smelly after being tossed around for a long time. She was currently thinking about something with her head down.
But Jiang Xi knew: this person is definitely not an easy person to deal with.
In her previous life, she had successfully escaped once, but was quickly caught - if this female college student hadn't woken people up by shouting, she might have escaped even further.
Another one is Sun Ting. It is hard to say who implicated whom. They went out together to buy stationery and were kidnapped together, successfully forming a pair of sisters in distress.
Later, she was sold first. As for Sun Ting who was left behind... I guess her luck wouldn't be much better than mine.
Looking back, it seems like it was a long time ago.
"I'm stuffed."
Jiang Xi returned the porcelain bowl after eating to the beggar girl, and returned to her straw mattress with her head down. Sun Ting looked at her strangely, and felt that this classmate was... a little different.
She couldn't put it into words. It was as if spring with blooming flowers had turned into winter overnight. It was cold and hard, with the gloom of water plants that had never seen the sun for years.
"Xiaoxi, you..." What's wrong?
Sun Ting swallowed her words, her dirty little face looking at Jiang Xi bewilderedly, but Jiang Xi only gave her a silent look. She was completely flustered by the sudden change she had just experienced, and instinctively wanted to be close to someone familiar, so she carefully sat down next to Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi glanced at her without saying a word, just put his head on his knees and thought of a solution.
Next to this room is a main hall, which is usually guarded by someone in the morning and evening. Two beggars take turns in a group, with a total of four men and one woman, all of whom are very strong. She is so weak that she is definitely no match for them if she forces them.
What's more, there is a meal of porridge with "added ingredients" in the evening, which will make you become a weak shrimp after eating it. The sleeping pills can last all night. These prostitutes have become very familiar with this trick after long-term operation in the industry.
Therefore, only at night would the beggars, including these imprisoned children, be at their lowest alert.
But it was impossible for Jiang Xi to escape at night. Firstly, the arrogant female beggar would definitely watch them eat the porridge mixed with drugs. Secondly, if they were to escape at night, the lights and fires in this desolate countryside would be turned off early, and without any means of transportation, they would not be able to escape too far.
