There were several people lying in the cellar, not sure if they were asleep or just still under the effects of the drugs.
The dim light came from the cover of the hole above. There was no ladder here. It seemed that this group of people were very cautious. The exit was above, and no one could climb up without a ladder.
There was a ladder in Jiang Cha's space, and the situation outside was unclear, so she didn't dare to move.
"Um"
Someone woke up, and Jiang Cha quickly leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. She didn't want to be the first to wake up, because who knew if one of their people was in there.
After all, the person who could get himself here from the train station is definitely not an ordinary person.
Those young actors didn't look very old and were definitely veterans, but she didn't realize it at all at the time.
"Wake up, wake up, where is this, woo woo"
"Who are you?"
"Mom, I want Mom"
"Someone! Help!"
"Woo..."
…………
Everyone woke up, and all kinds of shouting and crying filled the ears.
"Where is this? How did we get here?"
Pretend to have just woken up and ask others.
"I was going to catch the train and I went to the toilet in the waiting room, and then I ended up here."
A girl who was closer to Jiang Cha said to her.
"I met a kid on the street. He couldn't find his home. We were wandering around the alley near his house, and when we opened our eyes, we found ourselves here."
"I met a pregnant woman with a big belly. She said she had a stomachache and asked me to help her carry her things and take her home."
"I was on the train to Qing City. The couple sitting next to me had a fight and threw a glass of water at me. I didn't know anything about it. When I woke up, I was already here."
"I was taking the bus to my grandma's house when the older sister in the back stabbed me. That's what happened."
"Woo, I don't know, I want my mom."
There were two little kids who couldn't speak clearly and kept crying. I felt around and found nothing, including my luggage.
Fortunately, her things and important items are all in the space, otherwise she would be heartbroken.
Maybe they thought they couldn't run away, so they weren't tied with ropes, so they were semi-free!
"Look, that exit is too high, and there's no ladder. They must be afraid we'll escape. Have we run into kidnappers planning to sell us off to the mountains?"
"How do you know she was sold into the mountains? Isn't that kidnapping?"
"Is your family rich? Who would kidnap a poor peasant like me?"
"That's right. My mom said we can barely make ends meet. What could he do by kidnapping me?"
"If they were sold in the mountains, what would those two girls do? They can't be child brides, right? They're not that old, and they'll have to be taken care of if they're bought back."
Jiang Cha also felt that it was unlikely to sell in the mountains. The person who wanted to buy the child must want a boy, and there were only girls here.
The worst case scenario might be that they will be sold abroad. Didn’t Lao Ha say before that people can be sold to the red-light districts in Southeast Asia?
It's really like that. Even if she had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult for her to run away.
Moreover, I don’t know if there are any undercover agents from the other side among the group of people in front of me.
Their leader is definitely a talent as he can handle the kidnapping tricks in such a fancy way.
"Bang—"
As the cover opened, a ladder came down.
Several people were so scared that they didn't dare to speak, only two children were crying there.
It's really pitiful. The child looks like he is five or six years old and has just started first grade. He must be scared to death when he suddenly comes to such a place.
"Snap"
"Why are you crying? I just lost five games in a row. It must be you two little girls who are crying. It's bad luck."
He threw a few steamed buns on the ground, climbed up the ladder again, said nothing, just came down to take a look.
"Why did you grab two steamed buns, one for each person? Will others eat them?"
Jiang Cha almost choked to death when she took a bite of her steamed bread. She was tilting her neck back to eat it when a fight broke out over there.
It's such a late hour and they are still fighting. These two people are talented.
There was another one on the ground. Before anyone else could reach out, Jiang Cha quickly grabbed it, broke it open, and stuffed it into the hands of the two children.
When the two men were done, the ground was covered with steamed bread residue.
The steamed bread they gave us looked quite big, but actually, it didn't fill you up at all, it was just to fill your stomach.
The method is said to be quite complicated. You need to steam the steamed bread first, take it out and put it outside to dry. The thoroughly dried steamed bread is crushed with a stone mill, brought back for a second fermentation and then steamed in a pot. The steamed bread that comes out this way is more than twice as big and very crumbly.
I've only heard people say before that during famine, this kind of steamed bread was considered a good meal!
Regardless of whether they were full or not, everyone fell silent after the meal. A group of young girls, all young, were naturally terrified by something like this.
The two children cried themselves to sleep, while the others either choked with sobs or stayed there in silence.
No one mentioned running away, probably because they thought their families would come looking for them, or ask the police to look for them.
The man who just came down was very strong. I don’t know how many people were there above. The most important thing was that they couldn’t reach the cover. It was too high, probably more than 2 meters.
Jiang Cha huddled in a corner with her knees hugged, secretly drinking two sips of water, otherwise she would have been choked to death by the steamed bread she had just eaten.
There was a bucket of water in the cellar, but I didn't dare drink the ginger tea. What if there was some medicine in it, I would really not be able to escape.
I took a peek at the time and it was already past seven in the evening. This was the only meal we had today, so I definitely wouldn't be sending them any midnight snacks.
Calculating the time, they are probably in Tianjin or Langshi. Because the train did not take too long, if they were in Tianjin, it would be really difficult.
The port of Tianjin has just opened shipping with the Little Japan. If they really intend to ship them out, it is very likely that the route here will be used.
