Perhaps because they knew she couldn't escape, they didn't tie the towel back on her. Now Fang Qingyue was able to speak.
She whispered to the woman just now, "Thank you."
"It's okay." The woman was hurt by the blow, but she didn't say a word.
She had just seen Fang Qingyue's belly and vaguely felt that Fang Qingyue was pregnant, so she went over to help pick her up. If she really had a miscarriage, those beasts would definitely not take Fang Qingyue to see a doctor, and she would probably die.
Fang Qingyue didn't say anything else, but just moved towards the cellar wall with difficulty.
Before coming down, she had already looked around the entire cellar.
In the cellar, besides her and the woman who had just saved her, there were three other children, probably all of this woman's children.
The room was not as clean as the cellar where she had stayed before. There was a piece of stone in the corner of the cellar.
The edge of the stone flake looks very sharp and should be able to grind the rope apart.
Thinking of this, she slowly moved to the edge and picked up the stone.
It was difficult to exert force with her hands behind her back, but Fang Qingyue really had no choice.
All the jewelry on her body was gone. They must have been taken away by those people when she was unconscious. The blade originally hidden in the bracelet was naturally unusable.
However, the stone flakes were not sharp enough.
She rubbed hard for a long time, but only managed to cut a little, and her wrist was almost bleeding. When the pain was excruciating, Fang Qingyue bit her lips hard, but still refused to give up.
If she was really moved away quietly, once she left the capital, Shen Yuhan and the others would probably find it difficult to trace her whereabouts.
She has to come up with a solution as soon as possible!
In the darkness, the sound of stone shards rubbing against the rope was particularly obvious, accompanied by the breathing of Fang Qingyue and the woman.
Just when there was only a little left, there was a sudden noise above my head.
Fang Qingyue was startled, and the stone slab slipped from her hand and rolled into the middle of the cellar. At the same time, the cover above her head was also lifted.
The woman lying with her was startled and rushed to the middle of the cellar, blocking the stone under herself.
At the same time, the cover was opened and daylight came in from outside.
The man who had just brought Fang Qingyue here had a sinister look in his eyes. He looked at Fang Qingyue viciously, as if he had noticed something.
Fang Qingyue didn't dare to breathe. After a long while, she forced an ugly smile at the man: "Brother, please let me go. I'm so stupid that even if I really sell it, it won't make much money. Besides, my husband is seriously ill now. He might be lying in bed, unable to move at all."
"Please, let me go back and save him!"
However, the more pitiful she spoke, the less likely the man would let her go.
Seeing that she looked harmless, the man finally lowered his guard and slammed the lid back on.
The dust on the cover was blown up, making Fang Qingyue and the woman cough.
After a while, the woman moved to Fang Qingyue's side with difficulty and handed the stone piece hidden in her hand to Fang Qingyue.
Fang Qingyue touched the stone chip that was wet with the woman's sweat, took it in her hand, and continued to grind the rope around her wrist with gritted teeth.
Fortunately, a large part of the rope had been worn away, and now only the last bit remained. After finally breaking the rope, Fang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She untied the rope on her feet and tied it into a slipknot that was hard to detect and could be removed at any time. After doing all this, Fang Qingyue went to untie the rope for the woman.
After untying them, they also tied the ropes on her hands and feet into noose.
After everything was done, Fang Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her voice and said to the woman, "I'm sorry, ma'am, if the ropes on the child are untied, it will be too easy to be discovered."
"It's okay, just call me Aunt Xu."
The two of them lowered their voices to a very low level, almost whispering together.
"These people put us here and will drink outside, so there's no need to worry about them coming in." Aunt Xu whispered, "How did you get in?"
"Alas, I was just hiding from the rain when I was knocked unconscious. These people are really brazen. The Minister of War has already increased the city's defenses, yet they still dare to act so recklessly."
Hearing this, Aunt Xu snorted in disdain. "You believe those officials? I don't believe them at all. They act in a secretive way. Many of them have martial arts skills that look like they belong in the military. Even if they have little to do with the Minister of War, they can't be said to be completely unrelated."
"Do you believe that these people we arrested were able to hide under the noses of Beijing officials for so long without any officials secretly giving them away?"
Fang Qingyue shook her head.
At the very least, she felt that Zhou Shiran was capable of doing such a thing.
"How did you get caught here?" Fang Qingyue was a little curious.
"Alas, my child is sick and I can't afford to take care of him, so I want to find a job. I didn't expect the woman who took me to work was actually a beggar. It's a pity that she also captured my three children." She gently patted the children sleeping in the dark with one hand, and said in a heavy tone, "I don't know how we are going to get out."
Previously, she was not the only one imprisoned in the cellar.
But soon after the man was locked up, he tried to scream. Suddenly, someone from outside came in, took him away, and he never came back.
Therefore, Aunt Xu has been extremely careful these days and doesn't dare let the child cry too loudly.
"Does Auntie know anything else?" Fang Qingyue asked softly, "Maybe I can find a way for us to escape."
It wasn't that she placed too much trust in Aunt Xu, but she had no other options now. If this Aunt Xu was truly someone sent by the traffickers to lower her guard, then she would accept it.
Hearing this, the old lady lowered her voice and said, "I know. There was a girl who was taken away and brought back once before. She told me that when she was transferred at night, she would pass by Zhaoming Road."
"Zhaoming Road?" Fang Qingyue was stunned. Zhaoming Road happened to be the street in front of her clinic. Because it was located in a remote area, there were not many people coming and going. There were only some patients who liked to come to the clinic for treatment on weekdays.
"Yeah." The old lady nodded, her eyes fixed on the roof overhead, her ears perked up, listening carefully. "I've been here for three days. I haven't been moved away for so long because of the trouble the child caused."
After all, a child would cry loudly if separated from her mother. With the child by her side, she would be more obedient, so the traffickers never moved her away.
Fang Qingyue frowned and said nothing more.
The transfer time was too late, and she was worried that there was no one in the clinic. If she rashly shouted for help during the transfer and was discovered, she would probably be cut off from all her escape routes.
However, if she didn't seize this opportunity, she was worried that after missing it, there would be no other chance.
Thinking of this, Fang Qingyue patted her chest lightly. Unexpectedly, she took out a packet of medicine from her chest.
