Chapter 2 Conspiracy
[Hey. What's going on? Is there something wrong with this novel? Why did it jump from the heroine's story to here?]
[Oh my god, so many kidnapped children, and the human traffickers are so terrifying! Death to the human traffickers.]
[By the way, is this the cannon fodder that bought the heroine time to escape this morning? So tragic, I feel for the heroine, but she's still alive. I wish her well.]
I hope she's okay!
[The heroine went to report the crime, but she hesitated for a long time at the door of the Public Security Bureau before going in. What was she hesitating about? I hate heroines who dawdle.]
[+1]
[But she probably didn't have a chance to survive. I watched it twice, and it seems she died after being kidnapped. Her whole family must have died one after another trying to find her. I feel like this is the setting and fate of cannon fodder.]
[Her family is actually quite innocent, but they have eight half-grown children now. The oldest is probably sixteen, and the youngest is three or four. If they fight together, they won't be able to defeat them, right? Well, I can only sympathize. I'm not the author...]
......
Is she the cannon fodder? Is the heroine the girl who dragged her into the alley? Will she and her family die tragically?
Wen Zhu was shocked beyond words when he got this information from those words. It was like something stuck in his throat. Tears streamed down his cheeks and he didn't dare to make a sound.
She didn't know what was the heroine and what was cannon fodder. She only knew that she was still alive and she wanted her beloved family to be alive and well. So she had to escape!
Slowly calming herself down, she needed to clear her mind. Based on the text and what she overheard, it was known that there were eight abducted children in the car, the oldest being sixteen and the youngest three or four.
They were on a muddy country road, not a national highway. There were a lot of bird calls. It was located in the mountains and there should be a village not far away.
She was too weak and needed help.
But in that village, if she, a thin girl, ran over to ask for help, would anyone really rescue her or would they turn a blind eye to avoid getting herself into trouble?
Dad said that people always seek benefits and avoid harm.
So, don’t trust human nature, especially when you are in a weak position.
Only when you are powerful and wealthy will you have friends and family everywhere and only meet good people. If you are powerless and isolated, then there is no need to expose your weaknesses to others, as that will only give them an excuse to attack you.
At this moment, in addition to the sound of rain, there is also the sound of a stream outside, which sounds quite loud.
Her brother had told her that there was only one large river near their home, with many tributaries, but the road conditions were poor, and only three of them could be reached in half a day's drive.
Their home was in a village on the edge of town, with plains to the east, south, and north. My brother used to go swimming and fishing in the small river to the west. The water there was cooler, flowing from the mountains.
Now the car broke down and was still being repaired. It was raining and the sky was getting dark. She had to wait for the opportunity to escape.
But she needs help.
The noisy sound came from far away and it sounded like there were more than a dozen people, talking and laughing, getting along harmoniously.
The villagers who came to help must have gained a lot of benefits. But she had nothing of value. This further stopped Wen Zhu from asking for help from the nearby villages.
It should be the honest-looking human trafficker who went to the village to find someone to push the cart.
Taking advantage of the noise outside, she lowered her voice and said, "Shh, keep your voice down, we've been kidnapped."
The person next to her touched her arm in response.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and everyone was pushing the cart hard.
"Can you tell the direction? We should be heading west now. Are you running fast?"
"My leg is injured. You run and I will cover you. As many people as possible shall live." It was the slightly dry voice of a young man.
"Okay, then I'll do it, and you'll be responsible for holding them back."
"Okay." The boy replied.
"Sorry, I can't be of much help."
"Whoever said that can help me now. Help me get the pencil sharpener out of your pocket and cut the rope."
The boy was stunned for a moment and replied, "Okay."
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, turned over, and groped in the dark, reaching into Wen Zhu's pocket. After much effort, he finally freed her bound wrists.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhu cut the rope on his feet.
"Turn over and I'll help you cut the rope."
"No need. My leg is injured and I can't run away anyway." The young man's self-deprecating voice came, with a sense of dejection and self-abandonment.
"No one cares about me anyway, so it doesn't matter if I die."
"......" Wen Zhu was silent for two seconds, ignoring him and fumbling to cut the rope for him.
juvenile:......
"I told you it's none of your business."
"Oh, I heard that." Wen Zhu replied symbolically. She knew but didn't accept it because she would need his help later.
The boy was helpless. He was the boss at home and a stubborn guy. How could there be anyone more stubborn than him?
After a rustling sound, a warm object was stuffed into Wen Zhu's hand and hung on a rope.
The young man lowered his voice and spoke again, "My name is Qian Xusen. My old man is very rich. He is one of the earliest millionaires in South City. Take this and go to the police station to call xxxxxxx. Tell him that I've been kidnapped and ask him to come and rescue me. Otherwise, he will have no descendants!"
Nancheng, a millionaire?
After a slight shock, Wen Zhu regained his composure.
Continue to ask in a low voice.
"Is anyone still awake? We have to cooperate to escape, otherwise we will all lose our lives." She has very good hearing and can hear subtle differences. She also has a very good memory and can remember almost everything she sees.
The breathing rate when asleep and awake is different. She knew that several people woke up when she was cutting the rope for the boy just now.
But no one answered her.
There was only the noisy voices outside and the sound of carts pushing one, two, three.
"For the people you love or hate, we have to live. Only by living can everything be possible. If you die, you will never have the chance to eat or play with things you have never experienced. How pitiful! When your parents have another child, they will treat them well and give all the meat and eggs to your new brothers and sisters. No one will remember where you died, and there will be no one to collect your bodies. After you die, your internal organs will be dug out and pecked at by birds..."
After a moment, a few barely audible and trembling responses were heard from the darkness.
"I."
"I."
"I."
"Sister, there's also... me."
The last one still had a childish voice.
It should be the youngest one. Her voice was trembling and nasal, as if it was caused by a stuffy nose after crying.
Wen Zhu was very surprised and touched her head soothingly to show encouragement.
Suddenly a low, impatient voice broke the harmony.
"Hurry up and untie the rope for me. I, Xu Yaozu, am the only son of our Xu family. If you don't untie it for me, I'll let my mom and grandma take care of you!"
"If you make any louder noises, none of us will survive and we will all die here." Wen Zhu threatened him.
Naughty kids are the most annoying thing.
The naughty kid lowered his voice a little, but still refused to give in.
"Then try to make a scene again and see if my knife cuts your neck first, or if you scream first?" Wen Zhu held the knife against the kid's neck, the sharp tip right next to his neck, and the slightest movement would pierce his flesh. He was so frightened that he dared not move, his whole body trembling.
"I, I, I listen to you, isn't that enough?"
It turns out that he is just a little bully who makes a lot of noise but does little, and is a bully in his own home.
"Our plan is this. I'll be heading south. I'll need your help while I'm away. If..."
Several people gathered together and took advantage of the commotion to formulate an escape plan.
In the darkness, Qian Xusen was stunned for a moment. Didn't she just say that the car was heading west? In theory, they should run back in the opposite direction...
Then he glanced in the direction of the naughty kid who dared not move, and remained silent.
The car was quiet again.
Soon after, the car was pushed up and continued to move forward.
Wen Zhu closed his eyes and rested, reviewing the known information over and over in his mind, and rehearsing in his mind the situations he might encounter when escaping.
Night arrives as promised, adding a touch of mystery and infinite possibilities to the world.
