Jiang Xi decided to take advantage of the opportunity of going to the toilet after drinking too much to get close to Dagui. It would be best if he could persuade him successfully, but if not, he believed that Dagui would not tell on him.
The door to the main room was closed, and even in broad daylight, the whole room exuded an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
Dagui was sitting alone on a long bench, peeling bean pods in silence. Sister Meijuan wanted to stir-fry edamame for lunch, so he peeled them very carefully.
But soon, the most beautiful "high-quality goods" in the east room came out to run to the toilet. Every time she came out, she greeted him with a smile. Dagui felt a little...
It's so strange that I can't describe it.
The fourth time, this "high-quality guy" leaned over to the eight-immortal table next to Dagui and asked with a smile: "Little brother, what are you peeling this for?"
"Eat."
Dagui thought the city girls had probably never seen edamame before, so he introduced it to them earnestly. He had never chatted with girls before, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Is it tasty?"
Jiang Xi asked with a smile.
"It's delicious, a good side dish for drinking." Dagui thought of the thin porridge the girl had for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and fell silent.
Jiang Xi brought up this topic not to discuss whether edamame was delicious or not. As soon as her smiling face faded, she immediately looked extremely lonely. She had a pair of affectionate eyes, and when she acted pitiful, she looked truly pitiful.
"Green beans were my favorite at home... I miss home."
Seeing Dagui's vigilant look, Jiang Xi changed the subject:
"Little brother, do you miss home when you work outside?"
Dagui was immediately comforted by this familiar topic: "I do, of course I do. It's just that I have two younger brothers and a younger sister, and my parents are old. As the older brother, I have to take care of the family. My family said there's more money to be made out there, so I ran away."
"My little brother is really amazing."
Jiang Xi exclaimed in admiration.
Dagui felt embarrassed when he saw the girl's confused and curious eyes.
He knew that the money was dirty.
When Jiang Xi saw his expression, he knew: the time has come.
"Little brother, do you want to get away from here?" She asked in a low voice, her black and white eyes looking closer, with a kind of smart and lively spirit.
Dagui nodded, then quickly shook his head.
"Little brother, I know you are different from them." Jiang Xi twisted his fingers into a ball and nodded affirmatively: "You are a good person."
"Little brother, haven't you ever thought about the future? Not only is it a shame to take this money, but if you get into trouble one day and end up in jail, what will your brothers and sisters do then?"
Jiang Xi knew that just that little bit of compassion was not enough.
Even someone like Dagui has his own plans.
Dagui stopped picking the bean pods. He was not a fool. He had thought about what Jiang Xi said before, but he always lived one day at a time and couldn't help but feel lucky.
Jiang Xi pointed it out directly, and Dagui felt a chill down his spine, as if the day he would end up in jail had really arrived. He then said in a panic, "Then, what, what should I do?"
This den of thieves is so damn easy to get into but so damn hard to get out.
Jiang Xi then realized that he had overlooked a crucial point: Dagui's background was clear to the other party. At least his fellow villager knew it.
Established human trafficking gangs all have strict rules. They provide one-stop services to both upstream and downstream parties. Anyone who dares to betray the organization will have his entire family killed by the organization.
Dagui didn't dare to help her and risk implicating his family, let alone help her get a means of transportation. Turning a blind eye like he did in his previous life was already extremely outrageous.
Jiang Xi felt that he had reached a dead end again.
In the dim light coming into the main room, a pair of glass-like eyes were looking at her without blinking, and the understanding and pity in them suddenly angered Zhong Huier.
She slammed the door shut with a loud bang: "What are you looking at?!"
In the complete silence, a huge crash resounded like thunder. The drug had only left their hands and feet sore, not completely demented. One by one, the children woke up, rubbing their eyes.
Jiang Xi silently withdrew his gaze, and Zhong Huier then sat back in her original seat with a clatter.
Sun Ting also woke up. She leaned towards Jiang Xi, as if she only felt safe around her. "Xiaoxi, do you think mom and dad will find us?"
Silly child.
Jiang Xi touched her hair. How could he possibly find it?
No human trafficking gang dares to stay where they have abducted someone. I'm afraid they were transferred out of the province while they were sleeping, far away from home.
They have no choice but to save themselves.
Sun Ting seemed to sense something from her silence and gradually fell silent.
The straw mat was being turned over and over, making a crackling sound that sounded like a low whimper in this small tiled house.
Jiang Xi kept his eyes open and waited until everyone fell asleep before he quietly got up and, with the help of a little light from the crack in the door, slowly moved closer to the female college student.
The burning pain under her body made Zhong Huier sleep uneasily. When Jiang Xi approached, she opened her eyes almost immediately. Before she could open her mouth, her scream was covered in her throat by a soft hand.
"Shh—don't scream."
Zhong Huier nodded, and Jiang Xi let go of her hand.
"…What do you want to do?"
"Want to escape?" Jiang Xi deliberately softened his voice, and the clear and soft voice that belonged to a high school student filled Zhong Huier's ears. She laughed out loud, as if she had heard a particularly funny joke:
"Who doesn't want to escape? If you have to fart, do it now!"
Jiang Xi didn't mind her rudeness, "I have a way to escape."
"Cooperate with me."
Zhong Huier seemed to have heard something like a fairy tale. She twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a forced smile, "Are you crazy?"
It's clear that he doesn't believe it.
"Could things get any worse?" Jiang Xi lowered his voice, which actually sounded somewhat reliable in the darkness: "Why not give it a try?"
Zhong Huier sat up suddenly, and the movement stretched the injured part. She hissed, "Do you think I haven't tried it?!"
"Don't even think about it. The whole village is full of spies. We can't escape."
