Jiang Chan planned to have it scout out the road ahead to see if there was any water or a better place to settle down before making a decision.
As usual, the probe first scanned the interior structure of the inn after it was launched.
With high-definition audio pickup mode activated, the sound is delivered clearly.
In the back room on the first floor, behind a tightly closed door, the shopkeeper's high-pitched voice rang out excitedly: "...That man's bundle looks heavy! And that woman! So pretty! They can fetch a good price!"
A rough, hoarse male voice said, "The meat smells amazing! Damn, it's been so long since I've smelled meat this good! Is the medicine ready?"
A soft, feminine voice said, "Don't worry, we'll add 'sleeping powder' to the water they're sent over later. They'll be sound asleep!"
The fourth voice came from the young waiter: "...Boss, won't this...cause trouble...?"
"Nonsense!" the boss cursed. "These days, plenty of people die out there! Who knows where they go? Tomorrow morning, once we have the money, we'll take care of them! Same old rules: break the men's legs and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves, tie up the women and send them out through the path behind the mountain! Those two women, sell them to a brothel for at least this much! That old one... she's a woman too, send her out with them!"
"Hehe, that young woman is not bad either... How about we start..." The rough voice was lewd.
"Shut up! Business is important!" the effeminate female voice snapped. "Don't cause any trouble! Selling people is the main thing!"
Jiang Chan's face remained expressionless.
The last bit of self-doubt in my heart vanished.
really.
They're human traffickers again.
They are a professional team that provides a one-stop service, including drugging, cutting off legs to feed wolves, and selling prostitutes.
Wengjia Village 2.0!
She knew it! There wasn't a moment's peace once she started following the male lead, Chen Yan!
Are you feeling irritable? A little.
More than anything, there's... numbness.
I almost wanted to laugh; it was such a familiar recipe, such a familiar taste.
"Xiao Tao," Jiang Chan exhaled slowly, her voice calm and even, "If you've eaten your fill, lie down and take a nap. I'm going out for a bit."
"Oh..." Xiao Tao obediently put down the bowl, climbed into bed, and wrapped herself tightly in the thin blanket.
Jiang Chan got up, walked to the door, gently opened it a crack, and slipped out to the side.
The movement was as light as a falling leaf.
The corridor was deathly silent, with only the dim light of the oil lamp flickering.
The detector transmitted back in real time the excited sounds of the four people in the back room plotting.
Jiang Chan's figure moved silently along the wall, like a cheetah blending into the shadows.
...
About 10 minutes later.
The door was pushed open silently and then closed gently.
Jiang Chan's footsteps were so light they were almost silent as she walked to the bedside and looked at Xiao Tao, who was already fast asleep.
Jiang Chan took off her slightly dusty coat and gently lay down next to Xiao Tao.
In the darkness, she opened her eyes and stared at the blurry beams of the roof.
Tomorrow... we'll still have to go our separate ways.
She really didn't want to get involved in this endless "trouble" at all.
The two mountains of grain and meat in the space were her and Xiao Tao's true means of survival.
This male protagonist, who seems to have a knack for bringing bad luck, can let whoever wants to get close to him have his way.
She pulled up the thin blanket, covered her head, and shut herself out from everything outside.
Go to sleep.
At least tonight, it's quiet.
The back hall on the first floor of the inn.
A deathly silence.
The boss, the burly cook, the effeminate woman, and the young waiter lay sprawled on the ground, their postures contorted and motionless.
Their necks were all tilted at an odd angle.
Clean and efficient!
