In the eyes of old man Qiao, time seemed to have passed for a long century, but in fact, it was only less than an hour. Ling Shuang and Tie Niu came to the Qiao family with more than twenty women in tattered clothes, with miserable and frightened faces.
These people were all girls who were trafficked here. Two of them were paralyzed in bed because they kept running away and were beaten by men. They couldn't walk at all. Ling Shuang pushed them here on a two-wheeled cart.
Because she was afraid of disturbing Chu Tianjiao's rest, she took this group of people directly to the main hall of the Qiao family.
"We will leave here tonight. We won't force you to leave or not. If you don't want to leave, you can leave now." Ling Shuang said.
The abducted women looked terrified, kept silent and did not move.
Ling Shuang: "Then I'll assume you all want to leave."
The younger of the paralyzed duo still had a hint of rebellion in her eyes. She asked cautiously, "Are you a police officer? Are you alone?"
Ling Shuang shook his head: "I'm not a policeman, but I can escort you to the provincial capital. Once there, I'll accompany you to the Public Security Bureau to report the case. The police will help you contact your family."
The women had witnessed her skills before. When she rescued them, although this woman was alone, she was able to subdue those who usually bullied them in a few moves. They had already established initial trust in Ling Shuang.
Only the two paralyzed people were still in despair. The mountain was too deep, and they could not walk, so they could not escape at all.
Ling Shuang saw their concerns and said softly, "Don't worry, if we all help each other, we will definitely be able to get you out." After that, he looked at the women standing there.
Some of these people nodded, while others remained silent.
Ling Shuang added, "It will take several days to walk up the mountain road. Go to the Qiao family's kitchen and ask them to make some dry food. If there's not enough food, I can borrow some from the village."
At that moment, several nimble women went straight to the kitchen. They had never given up on escaping, and now that the hope was so great, they had to give it a try.
In addition to the two people who were unable to walk, there were eight other women in the room who did not move, and their faces all had an expression as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Ling Shuang asked: "Do you have any concerns?"
The women looked conflicted. One woman, with a scar running across her cheek, stammered, "I, I want to take my child with me."
"I can't bear to leave my child either."
"If I leave, my Da Ni and Er Ni will definitely be sold by their grandmother."
The other women nodded and sobbed together.
Ling Shuang got a headache after hearing this. "We won't leave until tonight. You still have half a day to go back and prepare."
"Then can I take my girls with me?" the woman with a scar asked sobbingly.
Ling Shuang nodded: "The child is yours, this is your own business. However, after taking the child back to your hometown, it will definitely have a great impact on your future life. You must be mentally prepared."
The women nodded one after another. They often imagined what would happen after they escaped from here. They were mentally prepared for the rumors and even ridicule and abuse. Life might be difficult if they returned with their children, but if they just left without caring about their children's life or death, they might be overwhelmed by endless guilt and regret for the rest of their lives.
Ling Shuang took the women back to pick up the children and "borrow" food. She also told the women to take their money with them, as they would need some cash when they returned to normal society.
