When the sunlight penetrated the window and entered the room, Ling Ju immediately got up from the bed and opened the window to check the situation outside.
Unfortunately, there was a huge open space outside the window, and the house she lived in was indeed on the third floor, which she had guessed correctly.
It looked like a new house. The unfinished cement floor downstairs and the white paint buckets against the wall had dried up. She was at the back of the room.
Close the window and go wash up first.
She didn't know when Song Qi would be able to find her. She cursed silently, but it seemed like she couldn't do anything now.
I tried turning the door handle, but it wasn't locked!
There was no one in the corridor outside, and no movement or human conversation. Perhaps it was because it was early and they hadn't gotten up yet.
She only wanted to find her own bunny bag, which contained money and her watch. She opened the doors of several nearby rooms but found nothing. But this was indeed a hotel, a new one, but no one was staying there.
She suddenly felt a little scared, like it was a haunted building.
I went straight down the stairs and finally heard some movement at the second floor landing.
But what is this person mumbling? It doesn't seem to be Chinese. Shit!
She doesn't have the ability to translate foreign languages.
Continuing down from the second floor, as soon as she entered the lobby, she saw the person who brought her hot water yesterday sleeping at the door, on a single bed with an iron frame, and the door of the hotel was tied with several iron chains and a padlock.
Good, this is because we know she is strong and locked her up overnight.
Ling Ju gave up the idea of escaping and went over to shake the man who was sleeping like a pig on the bed.
"Hey, wake up, wake up, I'm hungry, find me something to eat!"
The man on the bed turned over impatiently, but after a while he immediately sat up and looked at Ling Ju standing in front of her. He jumped up from the bed and asked, "Why did you come out?"
Ling Ju rolled her eyes. "Your door is unlocked, so why can't I come out? Hurry up and find me something to eat. I'm hungry. I'm pregnant and I need to eat!"
"It's only what time, and you already want to eat!"
"What time do I have to eat? I have to eat when I'm hungry! What? Just because I'm kidnapped doesn't mean I have human rights?"
The man was speechless, but still warned her, "The kitchen is over there. If you want to eat, cook it yourself. Don't even think about running away. You can't run away. There are dozens of our people outside. You'd better not have any bad thoughts."
"Enough of the nonsense, take me to the kitchen."
The kitchen is on the first floor. It is the kind of big kitchen you would imagine in a hotel. There are lots of green onions, potatoes, cabbage, radishes, eggs and other things in it. There is also rice and noodles next to it. It seems that the man is not lying. There must be quite a few people living here.
"Make more, we need to eat too."
Ling Ju turned around and asked, "Do you think I'm a chef?"
The man looked at her with some disdain and touched the gun at his waist. "You'd better be aware that you've been kidnapped. Fight as hard as you can. There are many of us. Even if one of us hits you once, you won't be able to have the baby in your belly."
"Hurry up and do it. I'm here watching you."
Ling Ju clenched his fists angrily, turned around and started to process the ingredients.
He was right. She shouldn't have provoked them. No matter how skilled a martial artist was, they were still afraid of kitchen knives. And what they were holding weren't kitchen knives, they were firearms! They were guns!
All it would take was a bang, and she would be gone with her child.
She couldn't joke with her own life and her child's life.
But I was unwilling to give in, so I made as much noise as possible while cooking, and the kitchen knife almost sent sparks.
The man at the door who made the loud noise closed the door and stared at him through the glass from outside.
After looking at the eggs in the box, Ling Ju found a huge basin and steamed them all into egg cakes.
I let you kidnap me, I'll eat everything and let's see what you can do!
Stew cabbage and potatoes in a pot with a lot of oil. Although there is no meat, the oil and eggs are enough to make it work.
She had used this kind of big pot stove once before, when she used the big pot in the guesthouse when Song Qi was hospitalized, so it was not too difficult. However, because she had to cook for so many people, it took an hour and a half to finish the meal.
Ling Ju didn't care about them anymore, she was really hungry.
He divided out a large bowl of egg cake and cabbage, potato and rice, and found a plate to get some hot water.
Someone outside the kitchen came in with two plates and bowls, scooped out some food, took one portion away, and returned a few minutes later to start eating his own portion.
Ling Ju guessed that he should have sent it to that Yin.
It looks like Yin should be their boss, but don’t the rest of the people live in this building?
She didn't hear much movement in the building, and her hearing wasn't very good at detecting very far.
The person next to him suddenly said, "Your cooking is pretty good, why don't you cook for lunch and dinner too!"
Ling Ju was about to hit someone, damn it!
He angrily took some more food into his own dish and turned to leave.
The man stood in front of her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go back to your room and eat. I'm not in the habit of eating with strangers."
The man finally moved aside this time and said, "Come on, I'll go up with you."
Ling Ju looked at a large bowl of cabbage and potatoes and a large bowl of egg cake, and cursed inwardly, "You'll die of stuffing, you bastard."
So he turned and went upstairs.
She entered the room and put down her dinner tray. As she cooked, she felt the location of her pocket watch.
It was probably Yin holding his bag, located on the first floor.
Let’s eat first and find another chance to get it.
The blue-eyed man did not show up for the rest of the day, but she heard rustling sounds in the room, and people went to the kitchen to get food.
Not all of them together, but sporadically, a few at a time.
However, she was pleasantly surprised to find that cars occasionally passed by the building. Cars were very rare in that era. Could it be Song Qi?
Is it possible they guessed she was here?
Should she stand by the window a little longer? If Song Qi had a telescope, perhaps he could see her?
Ling Ju stood by the window for the whole morning. She left at noon when the man asked her to go downstairs to cook.
She was shocked when she opened the kitchen door. There were so many dirty dishes waiting for her to wash!
"What do you mean! Not only do I cook, but I also have to wash the dishes?"
The man nodded. "Why would a man wash dishes? You must do this."
Ling Ju was really angry. "Why are you washing dishes, old man? If you can't even wash dishes, what's the big deal about you? I'm saying this: I can cook, but I won't wash dishes. If you have the guts, kill me! And then my husband will kill every single one of you! At worst, we'll both die!"
Then he slid the dirty bowls on the countertop to the floor, making a crisp clicking sound.
