In short, in these people's eyes, daughters are a money-losing commodity; as long as they can be sold like merchandise, they're still considered good.
Having received the money, Lin Shengxian immediately went to find Shuixian, while the madam, as if she had found a treasure, had Baili Wanwan locked in the woodshed.
When Baili Wanwan woke up, it was almost evening.
The fiery red clouds surged across the horizon, adding a touch of color to the room.
She rubbed her aching neck and realized she was in an unfamiliar place. The room contained only a worn-out bed and a table.
There is also a kettle with a chipped spout and a cup on the table.
She didn't know how long she had slept, and now she was coughing uncontrollably.
So without thinking twice, he climbed onto the table and drank all the cold water in the pot.
Just as I put the pot down, there was a knock at the door.
Someone unlocked the door and came in.
Baili Wanwan first smelled a strong perfume scent, and then saw a heavily made-up old woman walk in.
She gave her a wary look, then asked, "Where is this place? Why am I here?"
The madam glanced at Baili Wanwan and was extremely satisfied with the goods she had received.
She smiled at Baili Wanwan, her bright red lips curving upwards, and said, "Someone sold you to me. Perhaps your parents didn't want you anymore."
The madam didn't know the origin of Baili Wanwan; the rule of the trade is that you don't ask about the origin of a business.
Once you enter this brothel, your past life is like a previous one, and it has nothing to do with them anymore.
"Nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan immediately straightened her face. She looked at the madam, whose breasts were half-exposed, and said with a hint of grievance in her voice, "Someone drugged me and brought me here. Please let me go..."
I've heard the phrase "madam" countless times.
The women brought here were almost all forced. They would cry, make a scene, and even threaten suicide, all in an attempt to get her to release them.
But the madam had been running the brothel for so many years, she had plenty of ways to tame these women.
Let alone such a small child who has not yet been hurt by reality.
She glanced at Baili Wanwan and then said, "I can't let you go. I paid a high price for your mother, so you'll be staying with me forever..."
After she finished speaking, she cruelly laughed twice at Baili Wanwan, trying to make her obedient out of fear.
"If you behave well, you will be spared physical punishment; if you are not obedient... you will certainly be beaten and starved."
If these words were said to ordinary children, they would definitely be frightened, but Baili Wanwan is different from them.
"Then I advise you to let me go right now, or I won't be polite!"
She stood opposite the madam, her small body ramrod straight, hands on her hips, looking quite fierce.
The madam was not intimidated by her imposing manner. After laughing twice, she thought of leaving, locking her up to temper her temper, and that she would behave herself in the future.
But Baili Wanwan was not honest. Seeing that the madam was about to leave, she rushed to the door with her small body, trying to escape.
If it weren't for the madam's quick eyes and hands, she really wouldn't have been able to catch this little thing.
"Let me go! I want to go home! Let me go!"
Baili Wanwan kicked and shoved, proving he wasn't one to be bullied.
Seeing her rebellious nature, the madam naturally lost her temper.
He immediately called for help, grabbed a whip, and wanted to teach her a lesson.
The moment that whip, as thick as three fingers, was brought out, it terrified many people.
It's unclear how many ambitious people it punished; the originally brownish-yellow whip has turned a deep black, as if it had been stained with a lot of congealed blood.
"You brat, today I'll show you what I'm made of!"
After the madam finished speaking, she cracked her whip and lashed out at Baili Wanwan.
Baili Wanwan was so frightened that she hurriedly dodged. The whip made a whooshing sound as it lashed the air, which sounded particularly eerie.
Seeing her dodge, the madam lashed her several more times with the whip. Although Baili Wanwan dodged quickly, one of the whips almost struck her.
Moreover, the effects of the drug on her body had not completely worn off, making it extremely difficult for her to dodge.
She was exhausted after dodging several lashes, but the madam was furious with her behavior.
So he cornered her against the wall, gritted his teeth, and was about to crack the whip again.
At this critical moment, Baili Wanwan quickly activated her spiritual power, lifted the kettle on the table into the air, and smashed it onto the madam.
Because of the lingering effects of the medicine, her spiritual energy wasn't flowing as smoothly. The teapot struck the madam's back, then fell to the ground and shattered.
The madam turned around in pain, but the door behind her was closed, and there wasn't a soul in sight.
There were only the two of them in the room at that moment, and she had no idea how the teapot had flown and hit her.
The madam was startled, and her body burned with pain.
As the sun began to set outside, a hint of fear appeared in the madam's eyes.
"Hmph! I'll let you have your fun for two days, then I'll come back to discipline you in a couple of days!"
The madam was so frightened by the kettle that she got goosebumps all over.
She quickly rubbed her arms and then walked outside.
They say if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. Of course, she felt guilty about doing this business.
Fearing she might offend some kind of ghost or spirit, the madam thought to herself that she would definitely burn incense and paper money properly when she got back.
Before leaving, she made sure to close the door properly and then sent someone to guard the door.
"Don't give her any food. No matter what's going on inside, as long as she's not dead, just ignore her!"
This is the madam's most common method, and the thugs who work for her are used to it.
When Baili Wanwan saw that the door was closed, she hurriedly knocked on it, but no one paid any attention to her.
As darkness fell, Baili Wanwan was exhausted and had no strength left.
Looking at the dim and unfamiliar surroundings, her nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears.
But she couldn't cry; if she cried, she would be in even greater danger.
The guards outside gradually relaxed when they heard that there was no sound from inside the house.
He had seen many trafficked women before, and they were much more energetic than children.
That's really tiring.
They were afraid the people inside would die, they were afraid the people inside would cause trouble. Some even resisted for a month, but in the end they still gave in.
Thinking of this, the man found a spot against a wall and began to doze off.
After resting for a while, Baili Wanwan began to cheer herself up.
She knew she couldn't just sit and wait to die. She hadn't been back to the Wan family home for a single day, and Grandpa Wan and her aunt must be very worried about her.
So she began to look around the room.
There is no doubt that they were locked up.
Fortunately, there was a window, but it was too high for her to climb without stepping on something.
But through the crack in the door, she could vaguely sense that someone was watching outside. If she made noise while moving things, it might alert them.
