Chapter 40 Slapping the Real Daughter in the Face 40
It was mid-June, the weather was hot and the air was humid. The village chief's family also knew how to enjoy themselves, and they used air conditioning early. Thinking of the Zhang family living in the mountains and now not even having electricity, Jiang Lan felt scorched.
The process of going upstairs was smooth. There was a room on the south side of the fourth floor with the window not closed, so Jiang Lan went in. This room was a utility room, with some worn-out clothes piled in it, and they were all women's old clothes.
Jiang Lan's goal was clear, to go to the study first. She didn't know where the study was, so she could only rely on her mental perception to grope through the rooms one by one. In the process of groping, she found something wrong. There seemed to be too many people in the village chief's house.
In a normal family, even if the grandparents live together, there will not be more than 8 people. Even if the village chief's family is well-off and he hired a nanny to live with him, there will not be more than 10 people.
In the village chief's house, almost every room is occupied, which is too abnormal.
Jiang Lan thought of a possibility and decided to give it a try. She opened a door and saw a young woman lying in the room in the moonlight.
The young woman was still asleep, and Jiang Lan went up and pushed her awake.
"Who are you?" Seeing a stranger, the woman was not afraid at all. She rubbed her eyes and said, "What do you want to do by disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Lan was a little surprised and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of? I can't escape anyway. Where did you escape from? You don't think you can escape by wrapping yourself like this."
Jiang Lan continued, "How do you know I escaped?"
"I've seen too many people like this, and they all ended up badly in the end." The woman stretched lazily, "I've been here for 2 years, and I've never seen anyone escape. There are quite a few women who want to escape, but they were caught in the end."
Jiang Lan was puzzled: "Are you just going to accept your fate?"
"Little girl, you look young, so you must be one of their new finds." The woman squinted her eyes and looked at Jiang Lan. "Listen to my advice, don't think about escaping. If you are caught by them, you will just have to serve a few people. There are many men in this remote area who can't get married. You know what the end will be if you fall into their hands."
Jiang Lan's voice seemed a little cold. "What about you? What role do you play in this? Are you a victim? Or someone who is in cahoots with them?"
"As for me, I'm a victim, but I'm luckier than most people. Don't worry, I won't hurt you." The woman got out of bed and walked barefoot to the windowsill. "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette? My story may be a bit long."
"Suit yourself." Jiang Lan turned around and closed the door of the room, then found a stool and sat down.
"I was trafficked here two years ago. I used to be an internet celebrity, the kind that specializes in landscape photography. I have millions of fans on social media, and I used to be a wealthy woman with an annual income of tens of millions." At this point, the woman flicked the ash and said, "Later, I heard that there was a scenic spot in Province G that was particularly suitable for photography, so I took my team there. I forgot to mention that there were five people in our team, all girls."
Jiang Lan had roughly guessed the rest of the story, but she did not interrupt him.
"Now in our team, besides me, one has died, two have been sold, and I don't know where the remaining one has gone." The woman held the cigarette between her hands and slowly exhaled smoke rings, her posture looking very charming, "My story is over, what about you? How did you get in?"
Jiang Lan pointed at himself and replied, "I climbed in through the wall."
[I'm sorry, I really shouldn't laugh at this time, but I can't help it. ]
[It seems that she answered, but it seems that she didn't answer. ]
[In fact, there is nothing wrong with the host's answer. She just climbed in through the wall. ]
The woman's reaction was very calm, "I guessed it. You probably have some skills and climbed in from another room."
"You can understand it this way." Did you really crawl in from the sundries room?
The woman smiled, her face was clearly visible under the moonlight, and her phoenix eyes looked particularly charming, "It's fate, do you need my help?"
Jiang Lan also became interested, "You are like this? Can you still help me?"
The woman chuckled, "Little girl, you are new here, you may not know how powerful I, Chuchu, am here. There are nearly a hundred women imprisoned in this Yu family, but there are no more than five women who have single rooms and are not restricted in their movements."
Jiang Lan looked at her and asked, "Everyone is imprisoned, why do you feel superior?"
Jiang Lan believed that since they were both in prison, there was no essential difference between being imprisoned in a single room and being imprisoned with other people.
"Forget it, I won't bother with you, you idiot." The woman put out her cigarette in the ashtray, "Do you know where this is?"
"I know, Yujia Village."
The woman was a little surprised, "It seems that you know a lot of things, which is much better than some idiots. You don't know where you are locked up."
Jiang Lan didn't understand, this woman always seemed to think that she was smarter than others? Would she be so introverted after being locked up?
"Looking at your silly look, I guess you were deceived to come here because you did something good." The woman adjusted her long hair and smiled with some disdain, "There are mainly three types of people who come here. The first type is those who are deceived, and girls like you who like to do good things are the easiest to be deceived."
Jiang Lan, who was forced to do good things, nodded and did not refute.
The woman continued: "The second type is those who were sold in by their family. Some were sold by their parents, and some were sold by their husbands. The second type is like me, who was forcibly taken here."
"It seems that you know a lot of people."
"You are a young girl, but you talk in a set of ways." The woman felt a little irritated and took out another cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it. "People who have just arrived here always feel that they have hope of getting out, and they are always trying."
Jiang Lan asked her: "What about you? Have you never tried?"
"Of course I tried, but..." The woman paused, and put out the cigarette she had just lit irritably, "We are all playthings trapped here, who would care about our thoughts. In fact, you are right, we are all helpless. There is nothing noble about me living in a single room. It's just that my patron looks higher-class, so I get the treatment."
"You are charming, you are a person with a story."
The happiness of being complimented by the same sex is always higher than that of the opposite sex, and the woman showed a genuine smile. "I used to be a pretty internet celebrity, and I had a lot of female fans. Forget it, let's not talk about the past. What are you going to do?"
Jiang Lan was confused, "What should I do?"
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Now that you are here, it is only a matter of time before you are arranged." The woman did not feel embarrassed, "There are many types of guests here, from all walks of life, from elites to nouveau riche. Instead of serving those greasy middle-aged nouveau riche, you might as well find some reliable elites to support you, so that you will be much freer."
"Is that what you did?"
The woman smiled indifferently, "I guess so."
Jiang Lan knew that this was her heartfelt words, and accepted her kindness in his heart. She looked out the window, the sky gradually began to turn white, and it was a little too late.
"It's too late today, I'll leave first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow night."
"Ah?" The woman didn't react yet.
Jiang Lan waved her hand and climbed out of the window. She stepped on the air conditioner and slid down the water pipe next to it. She soon reached the yard. She waved to the woman, turned around and ran out.
The woman watched Jiang Lan leave quickly and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She was unbelievable at first, then laughed, and finally she burst into tears.
