Under the moonlight, a military jeep was driving fast on a winding mountain road.
Song Yiren leaned her head against the car window, staring blankly out. In two days, she would be transferred to a new prison, so she had to escape within those two days, otherwise her life would be over.
Seeing a mountain range ahead, Song Yiren glanced at the two prison guards in front of her. She saw the prison guard sitting in the passenger seat leaning back in his chair, seemingly asleep, his handcuffed hands slowly moving towards the door handle. There was originally a prison guard sitting next to her, but perhaps because she was a woman, he had let down his guard.
When the car passed through the dense forest, Song Yiren quickly opened the door and rolled down.
The car stopped with a "squeak".
"The prisoner escaped!" The prison guard driving the car pushed the prison guard next to him, jumped out of the car and chased after him.
The prison guard suddenly woke up, realized what had happened, and quickly jumped out of the car and chased after him.
Song Yiren rolled down the hillside, and suddenly, she felt empty under her body and fell into a big pit. She had a close contact with the ground. Song Yiren felt as if her whole body was falling apart. She took a few deep breaths, endured the pain and wanted to get up and escape, but she had no strength at all. After trying several times, she still lay down powerlessly.
Looking at the pitch-black night above, Song Yiren felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Was she destined to spend her entire life in prison? Her escape this time was aggravated by her crime. If she were caught, she would definitely receive a heavier sentence. But she was truly unwilling to accept this! God, why did you bring me to this hellhole? Facing this situation?
Waves of pain came over her, and Song Yiren finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
"Huh? Why is there a woman here? She's handcuffed. Could she be the fugitive those two policemen were chasing?"
"I think it's possible."
"So what should we do? Should we call the police?"
"You're stupid! If we sell such a beautiful girl, we can get at least several hundred dollars. What good will it do us if we report her to the police?"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
"Otherwise, why are you called Sha Gen? Let's get her up here now, and when it gets dark, we'll send her to Youxi Village. Didn't the brothers of the Li family in Youxi Village ask if there were any wives for sale a few days ago?"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Song Yiren slowly opened her eyes and found that it was already dawn. Two dirty men with hunting rifles on their backs were standing beside the pit and looking at her. She looked around and immediately realized that she had fallen into the trap they had dug.
"Brother Dabao, look, that woman is awake." Shagen saw Song Yiren wake up, pointed at Song Yiren and said to the thin and dark man beside him.
Lin Dabao looked at Song Yiren and saw that she was really awake. "Go down and tie her up, and I'll pull her up."
"What about the handcuffs on her? If we take her home like this, everyone will know about it. She's a fugitive," Sha Gen asked. If anyone knew they were harboring a fugitive, they would go to jail.
Lin Dabao raised his hand and patted Shagen on the head, "Who said we were taking her back?"
Sha Gen rubbed his head and asked in confusion: "Then where do we hide her?"
"Don't worry about that. Just listen to me. You'll get the money anyway," Lin Dabao said. He was already calculating how much it would sell for.
"Brothers... please don't sell me out... I'll find a way to pay you..." Song Yiren said weakly. She fell from above, and her leg seemed to be broken. The waves of pain made her unable to even speak.
"Don't be ridiculous, how can you, a fugitive, get the money?" Lin Dabao looked at Song Yiren with disdain. Did she really think that people from the mountains were so easy to fool?
"I have... I have a lot of money... I also have a husband..." Song Yiren's words stopped abruptly, a trace of sadness on her face. She was rich, but that was in her past life. Now she was not only penniless, but also a fugitive. Where could she get the money?
"What's the matter?" Sha Gen asked curiously.
Lin Dabao patted Shagen on the head again and said, "Hurry up and get back to work. Don't listen to this woman's nonsense. She must have fallen and lost her mind."
"Don't hit me on the head all the time. My mom said it would make me stupid." Shagen touched his head, jumped out of the trap, took out a rope and started to tie up Song Yiren. This trap was dug by him and Lin Dabao. There were many animals in this mountainous area, and they relied on the money they sold the animals they hunted to make a living.
After tying Song Yiren tightly, Lin Dabao and Shagen carried her towards the village. Not far from the village was a mushroom shed. It was not the mushroom season, so not many people would go there.
The two men carried Song Yiren into the mushroom shed. Lin Dabao found a piece of wire to remove the handcuffs on Song Yiren's hands, "You watch her here, I'll go back and get a shoulder pole." It would be at least twenty miles from here to Youxi Village, and it would be much easier for two people to carry her with a shoulder pole.
"Brother...can you help me find some herbs...my leg seems to be broken..." Song Yiren looked at Lin Dabao with a painful expression. Only when her leg was healed would she have a chance to escape.
"What a trouble!" Lin Dabao glanced at Song Yiren's legs, turned around and walked out.
Song Yiren withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Sha Gen who was squatting beside her and eating a pancake, "Brother... I know you are a good person... Can you let me go..." Compared to Lin Dabao who just left, Sha Gen seemed easier to talk to.
"Don't even think about it." Shagen rejected Song Yiren outright. His name was Shagen, but he wasn't stupid. If he let her go, not only would he not get any money, but he would also be scolded by Dabao. If Dabao didn't take him hunting in the future, he would starve to death.
"As long as you let me go... I will definitely find a way to give you money..." Song Yiren promised. It was now 1985, and her master was still alive. If she could just sneak back, her master would definitely give her money once he knew her situation.
In her previous life, her master discovered that she had replaced Su Jinyue as a member of the Su family. He told her to explain things to the Su family, but she refused and started an argument with him. When he threatened to call Su Jinyue, she, enraged, ordered the men in black to kill him. She knew she was being unfair to him, but she had no other choice. If she didn't, she would lose everything. She had fought so hard to gain this, so how could she just give it away to Su Jinyue?
Sha Gen glared at Song Yiren, put the pancake in his hand on the ground, lifted up his clothes and tore off a large piece of cloth from his clothes, walked up to Song Yiren, stuffed the cloth into her mouth, sat back to his original place, picked up the pancake on the ground and started to eat it. It was quiet now!
