"Husband?" the young woman asked.
Before the man could speak, Haozi spoke first:
"If you want your wife to be your collateral, that's fine."
"If you are worried, bring your wife and daughter to us as collateral. We guarantee their safety. Once you hand over all the supplies, we will release them and we won't raise the price."
As the words fell, a look of deep fear appeared on the young woman's face.
She looked at her husband in disbelief.
Want to mortgage yourself?
This is the man who has been with me day and night for many years, and the man I rely on the most after my parents passed away.
He actually betrayed himself at such a critical moment!
In an instant, her expression revealed many emotions, which were extremely complicated.
The man looked at the disappointment in his wife's eyes.
I felt panic in my heart.
Afraid of losing, but dare not resist.
Faced with Haozi's direct provocation and threats, he couldn't stand up at all.
I can't even refuse.
The mouse seized on this point and his mouth stretched to his ears.
This is what they want. As long as he dies outside, his wife and daughter will belong to them.
Moreover, by staying together, he had plenty of ways to seduce the mother and daughter to do something out of the ordinary.
"It's settled then!" Haozi waved his hand, and walked out of the room with the young woman reluctantly and her daughter puzzled.
Returned to Building 202 where Lei Yongjun and his group were.
At the door.
The crowd of onlookers looked at the wife and daughter the man brought back, their eyes widened:
"Are you bringing your wife and daughter back directly?"
"Didn't you say that there was only one of them? Why did you bring all of them? Are they a threat? Then this deal can't be done. They clearly have evil intentions!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! I have to say, even though this man himself is a jerk, the girl he married is pretty good. And his daughter is also very pretty."
"It's such a pity that this mother and daughter followed him. Who knows what kind of torture they will suffer in the hands of these thugs."
"..."
Listening to everyone's discussions, the man's face turned green.
He was afraid of his own death and was mentally preparing himself to accept the fact that he was cheated on, but the rumors were the knife that stabbed him the deepest.
It made him extremely angry.
He raised his hands and opened them: "I..."
Just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, Lei Yongjun spoke before him, forcing him to swallow them back.
"Don't worry!"
"I'll be here, within 48 hours, or two days, you return with enough supplies, and I'll redeem them for you."
"If there is only enough for one person, redeem one person."
"Before redeeming them, I will guarantee the safety of both of them."
"In 24 hours, it's just the price of one person, and you can take them all back."
"I, Lei Yongjun, will never break my promise!"
As soon as the words fell, all the gangsters raised their heads at the same time.
These words are not just meant for the man in front of me.
It is also said more to those people outside the door.
"Our door will always be open so that everyone can see the condition of the mortgaged person." Seeing that everyone was still confused, Lei Yongjun tried again.
Anyway, no one is there and they are relying on the campfire for warmth, so we might as well leave the door open to provide them with an extra layer of protection.
These words fell.
The owners who were originally watching the show burst into chaos again:
"Really? The door is open? Can you check on the family members who are mortgaged here at any time?"
"In this case, it's not impossible to borrow it. I can ask a good friend to wait here and help take care of it..."
"Brother, your sister-in-law is mortgaged here. I will go out to find supplies and come back to exchange you. What do you think? If your sister-in-law is bullied, you must be brave enough to fight!"
"..."
Food and conscience.
Survival and death.
This kind of high-pressure decision will make many people make sacrifices quickly.
Some people have already taken action.
There is no need for this group of thugs to follow. If they follow, the effect will be different.
Especially when you get home, there is a feeling of coercion.
If you bring your own, we can discuss it.
There is enough time.
It's not like the man just now, with disappointment written all over his wife and daughter's faces.
I got the military-grade cold-proof clothing and wore it inside.
The man clamored and walked towards the door.
His wife whispered:
"Ren Siyu!"
"Don't let me down, take me home."
Hearing his wife's instructions, Ren Siyu's heart trembled.
He said "hmm" softly.
The steps and mood became more depressing.
"You can go this way." Lei Yongjun pointed to the window behind him.
Because the wind and snow have covered the second floor.
Going down from this side, there are still traces of their passage.
It will be much easier to walk.
Hearing Lei Yongjun's call, the man turned his head and took a look.
The last bit of dignity a man had made him behave extremely stubbornly.
Keep turning and walking.
After leaving everyone's sight, Ren Siyu looked at the heavy snow outside the window and suddenly felt troubled.
He slapped himself hard:
"Ren Siyu, Ren Siyu, I'll let you pretend."
"You didn't leave such a good place just now. Now you have to rely on yourself for everything."
"Is that little bit of dignity and having a wife and daughter important?"
Although he felt regretful, he still gritted his teeth and turned over.
First I fell down.
Pain and coldness came over me.
It made him wake up quickly and walk aimlessly forward.
According to his understanding of the terrain, he just kept going straight ahead.
You can reach the supermarket in the community.
There should be a lot of supplies there. After all, the supermarket has been closed for a long time due to the snowstorm.
If I pass this moment, it will be a waste.
This is why he chose this side so resolutely.
For the sake of my wife and daughter, I will fight!
Ren Siyu gritted his teeth and persevered, using his body to move forward against the wind and snow.
He anticipated that the pioneers would gain the most, but would also work the hardest.
But...the vast snowfield covered everyone and made it impossible to tell the direction.
You can only look back to see if you are walking in a straight line.
But as he moved away from the building area, the wind and snow made it impossible for him to tell whether he was walking in a straight line.
"What should I do?" Ren Siyu felt a little confused.
Go back?
We can’t see the building area now. If we go back, how many meters can we repair?
Twenty meters?
That's at least one hundred and fifty meters away from the supermarket.
Gritting his teeth, Ren Siyu continued to push forward.
One step, two steps.
At the beginning, he could hear the howling of the wind and snow clearly.
But the longer you stay in the ice and snow.
Hearing is weakened.
My body is frozen and numb.
It's difficult to even stretch my arms.
He no longer knew how far he had walked, but he could see no prospect or walls.
A deep sense of powerlessness arose in my heart.
Turn around?
If you don't turn around.
If I continue walking, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the community safely.
By then...my wife and daughter will belong to those beasts!
Thinking of this, Ren Siyu bit his lips tightly, using the pain to stimulate himself to stay awake at all times. Even if his body was numb, his brain had to be clear and he couldn't stop there. His eyes were full of determination.
