She was crying and mumbling to herself, "Dad... Mom... Please come up the mountain and save me! I really can't live anymore! Everyone here is like an inhuman beast! They tortured me cruelly all night last night. The pain was worse than death. I feel like I'm on the verge of collapse and can't bear this torture anymore! Wuuuuu..."
As she cried, tears flowed from her red and swollen eyes like a flood, soaking the front of her clothes.
Just as Zhao Lihan was about to step forward, two people came out of the cave, cursing.
The two drunk men ran up to the girl and kicked her. The girl did not resist, but fell to the ground and looked at them. The two men took off their pants and rushed forward. Finally, the two men could not reach an agreement and started fighting.
Seeing that the two men didn't pay attention to her, the girl suddenly stood up and walked towards the edge of the cliff...
At this critical moment, Zhao Lihan rushed over and grabbed her. The girl turned around cautiously and saw Zhao Lihan. She was so scared that she almost screamed. Zhao Lihan quickly covered her mouth.
Seeing that the two men were fighting fiercely, Zhao Lihan waved his hand and several silver needles flew to the necks of the two men, and they fell naked to the ground.
He whispered to the girl, "Do you understand what I am saying?"
The girl nodded, and Zhao Lihan whispered, "I can let you go, but you can't scream loudly, otherwise, you will end up like them."
The girl opened her eyes wide in horror, looked at Zhao Lihan, and nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Lihan slowly loosened his grip, and the girl he had been holding tightly collapsed to the ground like a frightened deer. Although she was freed from her restraints, her body continued to tremble uncontrollably.
Zhao Lihan frowned, looked at the trembling woman in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you with these people?" His voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable momentum.
The girl stammered, "I, I, am a good person. My family lives in the village at the foot of the mountain."
Zhao Lihan asked, "Don't be afraid, girl. I will rescue you. Tell me how you got here."
The girl then told her unfortunate experience.
Zhao Lihan learned from the girl that her name was Jiang Daya, she was seventeen years old, and lived in a family not far from the primeval forest. These people initially bought some food and salt from her father.
Every time this group of people came, her parents made her and her younger brother hide in the cellar of their house.
One day, Jiang Daya and her hardworking and kind mother were busy in their yard, sorting out freshly dried mountain products. The two of them were chatting and laughing, their hands never stopping. However, just as they were immersed in this peaceful and tranquil life, a sudden change shattered it all.
The group of people who were supposed to show up at the scheduled time, for some reason, broke into Jiang Daya's house early. Jiang Daya was caught off guard and had no time to hide before she was discovered by the group.
Amidst the crowd, a tall, thin, and stern-faced middle-aged man stood out. He was the group's leader, named Yamada. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings like a hungry wolf. When he spotted Jiang Daya, standing bewildered in the middle of the courtyard, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a chilling smile.
Then, he said in a blunt and brief voice: "Miss Hua, I want her!" This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and instantly made his parents' legs go weak and they collapsed to the ground.
Daya's parents disagreed, so she begged them and promised to provide them with free food and drink in the future.
This group of men had been abstaining from sex for a long time. The women who had originally entered this deep mountain forest with them were either old and faded, or had long since passed away. These reckless villains lived a dull and oppressive life.
Seeing the beautiful Jiang Daya, everyone was drooling. Furthermore, Daya was born with a face as beautiful as a flower, skin as white as snow, willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a cherry-like mouth, and a graceful figure. She was simply a beauty that could topple a country. How could these desperate criminals, like hungry wolves, let such a beauty go easily?
So, with malicious intent, they resorted to despicable means, using Daya's younger brother as a threat. Poor Daya, despite her reluctance and fear, was forced to succumb to the tyranny of these evil men in order to protect her only younger brother. In the end, she was ruthlessly taken away by them and thrown into that den of evil and darkness.
By the time Daya got to this point, she was already sobbing.
Zhao Lihan said, "Comrade Jiang, this is not the time to cry. We will avenge you. Can you tell me about the situation in the cave?"
He learned from Jiang Daya that the cave was quite large, with caves within caves, where many things were stored, including radios and guns, but no food. There were guards at each entrance, with about twenty to thirty people inside.
She couldn't move around freely in there. Every night someone took her to several caves and let those people ravage her. When she said this, her sad tears flowed down again.
Zhao Lihan handed her a handkerchief and said, "We will definitely avenge you. Do you know the plan?"
Jiang Daya said, "If you know a little, I'm willing to lead the way for you. But can you handle so many people by yourself? I'm going to die anyway, so I don't mind taking someone with me."
When Zhao Lihan heard that Jiang Daya was willing to lead the way for him and her attitude was very serious, he was quite touched.
"Comrade Jiang, to ensure your safety, we need to make some preparations." He took out a protective mask and handed it to her, motioning her to put it on. He then put on a protective mask himself and lit the incense in his hand.
They stepped into the mysterious cave together carefully, with Dayayong walking in front to lead the way.
The cave's interior is incredibly vast, like a naturally formed underground labyrinth. Its terrain is incredibly complex, with various caves intertwined and arranged in an orderly pattern, like a giant and dense spider web.
Furthermore, the cave is filled with deadly traps, some buried deep underground, easily missed by the unwary; others hanging high above the head, like predatory beasts waiting in the wings, poised to strike at any moment.
If it weren't for Daya, who was familiar with the situation here, leading the way, even the experienced Zhao Lihan himself would probably have lost his way in this maze-like cave, and his life would have been in danger if he was not careful.
Wherever they passed, Zhao Lihan meticulously left a unique mark. Furthermore, he lit a specially made incense stick in front of each cave entrance. These incense sticks exuded a unique fragrance, with curls of green smoke rising, seemingly blending in with the surrounding environment.
