After receiving the memory, Su Man also knew where she was now.
It was on the way to Li Xiang's hometown with her that she subconsciously wanted to touch her cell phone. As soon as she put her hand in her pocket, she remembered that Jia Man's cell phone had run out of battery after walking for so long.
They had stopped at a small hotel in the town before going to bed. Jia Man asked Li Xiang to help her charge her mobile phone, but the plug was loose and only 2% of the battery was charged overnight. The phone automatically shut down before it could do anything.
The black car was in a hurry, so Jia Man and Li Xiang had to get in first. He wanted to charge the car, but the driver said the battery in the car was faulty, so Jia Man had to give up.
After getting off the black car, they got on the ox cart. After all this trouble, their cell phones were completely out of power and were now as useless as bricks.
Moreover, Li Xiang loved Jia Man so much that he was the one who collected all the luggage and she had no idea where the charger was.
It turns out that these actions were the details that touched Jarman. Now he understood that he had planned this all along, with the purpose of cutting off all her contact with the outside world.
There are many details that are terrifying to think about now, including the fact that Li Xiang did not let Jia Man accompany him when he went to buy train tickets. Not only that, even the sleeper tickets he brought back were not connected.
Jia Man was a little unhappy at first, but Li Xiang comforted her and said that he often took this train. After passing those major stations, there would be few people in the last few carriages, so they could live together.
After getting on the bus, just as Li Xiang said, Su Man's compartment was quickly empty, and then Li Xiang also moved over.
In fact, his real purpose was to avoid appearing with Jarman, just as he asked her to keep the fact that she went home with him a secret on the grounds that he was afraid of affecting Jarman's reputation.
Li Xiang's original words were very sincere. He said that his home was in the mountains and the conditions were difficult. He wanted her to go back with him to take a look and then decide whether to really marry him.
Going home with the man was no small matter. If it became known to everyone and they didn't end up together, it would have a huge impact on her.
When Jarman heard this, he was so moved that he immediately said that he would be with him no matter whether he was poor or rich.
But Li Xiang insisted again and again, and Jia Man had no choice but to listen to him and told people around him that he was going on a graduation trip.
Li Xiang let Jia Man fall into his trap step by step, and he was unable to get out of it. No one could help him, no matter how much he cried out to the sky or the earth.
...
On the bumpy ox cart, Su Man looked at Li Xiang.
He said he was a graduate student at Lin University, the school next to Jia Man. Now that I think about it, this identity was probably fake.
Although he showed Jia Man his student ID, it is possible that the ID card could be forged.
Moreover, Li Xiang never took Jia Man to class, let alone visited his dormitory.
Li Xiang said that he was a graduate student and that he only took small classes with strict instructors. Besides, he had such a beautiful girlfriend and didn't want to be looked at by those bad boys. He always had a reason.
Since he said so, Jia Man didn't care too much. After all, she and Li Xiang met at a station near the school, and he was very familiar with the area around the school. In addition, the acquaintance between the two after their first meeting was something she had worked hard for, so she didn't think much about it.
However, in Su Man's eyes, these were all complete routines. Li Xiang was definitely a veteran, and Jia Man was not the only one who was deceived.
But we can't blame Jarman. Knowing it earlier is priceless.
Su Man had read a sentence before, which said that it’s not that you won’t be fooled, but that you haven’t encountered the scam that can fool you. So we must be vigilant at all times. We should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others.
Perhaps Su Man had been gazing at Li Xiang for a long time, Li Xiang's eyes moved slightly. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable sitting here? Just hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Li Xiang pointed to the small village where smoke from cooking fires could already be seen and comforted him.
This news was not good for Su Man. It proved that it was too late for her to run away.
There were rolling mountains in sight, and nothing else except the muddy path in front of her. Not to mention whether she would be caught or not, with the mountains surrounding her on all sides, if she ran in alone, she would basically spend the rest of her life with the blind bear.
But if she does nothing, she will definitely end up in the same situation as before.
Violated, imprisoned.
Just as Su Man was looking around, she suddenly saw something among the grass and immediately had an idea in her mind.
In order to lower Li Xiang's guard, she leaned against him delicately and said, "I just drank too much water. I need to go to the bathroom."
"bathroom?"
Li Xiang was reluctant to let him go, so he consoled him, "We'll be there soon. Can you hold on a little longer?"
"You are bad. How can you persist in this?"
Su Man said angrily, "What if I can't hold it in? I have to meet my uncle and aunt soon."
"Okay, okay, but there's no restroom here. You, you can go there."
The place where Li Xiang pointed was a patch of wild grass, about as high as a person's calf.
Su Man refused, "How can that be possible? I'm embarrassed."
She pointed to the big tree they had just passed, "I'm going there."
"this..."
"What's going on? You're not going to let me go to the bathroom, are you?"
Li Xiang was a little hesitant, but the ground here was flat, and even if she wanted to run, she couldn't escape, so she relented, "How could that be? Then go ahead."
After saying that, he leaned over and patted the coachman on the back, and said a few words in the dialect that Su Man could not understand.
The ox cart stopped, and Li Xiang jumped off right after Su Man jumped off. Seeing Su Man looking at him, he smiled innocently and said, "I'll go with you."
Su Man pinched her waist, her face full of the delicate look of a little girl, "No, it's too embarrassing, I just want you to see the best side of me."
But Li Xiang refused to take the risk. He said sincerely, "It's all grass here. I'm afraid of snakes, so I want to accompany you."
"Snake? Where are the snakes? I'm not going!"
Su Man was so frightened that her face turned pale, which made Li Xiang feel relieved. He comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Snakes in the countryside are not poisonous. I will go with you. If you see a snake, just call me."
"Then you must protect me well."
Su Man took Li Xiang's arm and followed him closely.
After walking for dozens of meters, the two arrived at the big tree that Suman had pointed to earlier.
It is spring now, and the trees are so green that they look as if they could squeeze out water.
Su Man squatted behind the tree, and did not forget to tell Li Xiang who was standing on the other side of the tree, "Turn around, but don't go too far. I'm afraid of snakes."
Li Xiang said in a good mood, "Okay, okay, I won't leave. You talk to me, so you won't be scared."
Knowing that he was just trying to keep an eye on her, Su Man still had to say against her will, "Okay, you're so nice."
In this way, Su Man chatted with Li Xiang indifferently while pulling the weeds on the ground.
The first difficulty she had to deal with was how to maintain her innocence. On the night she went there in her previous life, the Li family had already made it a fait accompli.
I remember that they had a banquet the next day and invited the villagers to dinner. They even had the nerve to drag Jia Man to toast. Jia Man naturally refused and made a scene at the banquet. Not only was he beaten, but he was also locked up in the cellar.
It would definitely not work if she forced it, so she planned to use her wits to do it.
