After the old man locked the door and went out that day, she looked at the two-meter-high wall and looked for a ladder everywhere, but she searched the whole house and couldn't find any ladder.

Even without a ladder, Wang Xiao'e could not stop her. She first moved a table under the wall.

The two-meter-high wall was still too high for her, so she moved another chair and put it on top of the table.

This time she finally climbed to the top of the wall easily. When she was about to jump down, she looked down and saw that it was too high. She was a little afraid to jump.

But when she thought of the inhuman torture the old man had inflicted on her during this period, Wang Xiao'e gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and still jumped down.

Because the jump was too high, she sprained her ankle and cried in pain.

But she was afraid that the old man would come back and find her, so she had to endure the pain and limp quickly towards the village entrance.

She didn't know where to escape to avoid being discovered since she didn't know the person.

If she wanted to escape from the village entrance, she would have to cross most of the village and be seen by many villagers. For her, this was like walking into a trap.

When she came with the matchmaker that day, many people had seen her, so before she even left the village, people recognized her and ran to tell the old man the news.

Her feet hurt so much that every step she took felt like she was walking on the edge of a knife. She couldn't run fast at all. The old man quickly caught up with her, kicked her down, and then grabbed her hair and dragged her home.

She felt like her scalp was about to be torn off by the old man.

When they got home, before she could even relax, the old man started beating her.

After this beating, she stayed in bed for half a month.

From then on, she no longer dared to think of running away. The old man treated her even worse and tortured her without mercy.

Wang Xiao'e thought she was going to die at the hands of this old man until one day she had a dream that she was pregnant with this old man's child.

The old man was delighted when he learned that she was pregnant, and his attitude towards her changed drastically, no longer letting her eat one meal after another.

She was greatly inspired by this dream. The old man spent money to buy her, didn't he want her to give birth to a son to continue the Yang family?

Wang Xiao'e thought that if she deceived this old man, her life would be better.

As for what would happen to her after her lie was exposed one day, she didn't care. Even if she was beaten to death, it would be better than being tortured to death like this.

After making up her mind, Wang Xiao'e started to cough as soon as she got up the next day. The old man was about to scold her, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and his expression was immediately shocked.

He hurriedly asked her, "What's wrong with you? Are you pregnant?"

Wang Xiao'e thought about it for a moment, then said in a nonchalant tone, "But, right?"

The old man had been staring at Wang Xiao'e nervously. After hearing her say those words, he was so happy that he turned around several times and didn't know how to express his joy.

Then he picked up Wang Xiao'e and carried her back to the bed.

He told her not to move around and just lie down on the bed, and told her to be at ease. In the future, as long as she didn't run away, he would treat her like an empress and provide her with good food and drink.

Since she became pregnant, Wang Xiao'e did have a few comfortable days, she had her fill, and even had meat every now and then.

But when Wang Xiao'e thought of her period which came on time every month, she started to worry again.

After life got a little better, she didn't want to die anymore. She wanted to continue living a good life.

But if the old man knew about her fake pregnancy, he would definitely expose her again.

The old man was ruthless, if he didn't beat her to death, he would at least beat her half to pieces.

As a last resort, Wang Xiao'e began to plot her escape.

So, she first had a "long talk" with the old man.

She said that now that she was pregnant with her child, she would never run away again.

As long as I treat her well in the future, she will definitely live a good life with me and raise the baby in her belly together.

Because she already had a "criminal record", the old man couldn't completely let her go for a while, but for the sake of the child in Wang Xiaoe's belly, he was willing to make some concessions.

For example, he no longer hung out with those bad friends all day, and would take time to accompany her. Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would take Wang Xiao'e to the village to talk to them.

In order to gain her trust, Wang Xiao'e was no longer as sad and lifeless as before.

She always smiled when she spoke to him, her eyes were no longer full of disgust when she looked at the old man, and she even became more and more proactive in bed.

Slowly, the old man was coaxed into a state of relaxation by her.

Next, Wang Xiao'e began to take the initiative to do housework and cleaning. Not only did she tidy up the house, but she also cooked delicious meals.

This time the old man was really flattered, and he felt from Wang Xiao'e's strong signal that she wanted to live a good life with him.

Although he is old and perverted, as a bachelor like this, of course he hopes to have a warm home.

Facing these changes in Wang Xiao'e, I am still very pleased.

So the supervision over her began to relax.

In order to detect whether Wang Xiao'e was telling the truth, he would deliberately leave for a while, and then hide somewhere and secretly monitor the movements in the yard.

However, Wang Xiao'e learned her lesson this time. She didn't dare to run away again until she completely won the old man's trust.

Not only did she have to win the old man's complete trust, she also had to find an opportunity to familiarize herself with the routes here, especially those small paths that ordinary people didn't take. Taking the main road to escape was undoubtedly an adventure, and the lesson from the last time was already profound enough.

After Wang Xiao'e tried this several times, she finally let go of her anger a little.

Then he deliberately left the door open to see Wang Xiao'e's reaction.

Wang Xiao'e acted as if she saw nothing and directly moved a stool to sit in the yard to bask in the sun while doing needlework. She also asked to buy some flowers and cotton so that she could start preparing small clothes for the baby in her belly.

When the old man heard Wang Xiao'e say that she was going to make clothes for the baby in her belly, his trust in her increased a lot. He took her out for walks more and more often, sometimes to the village, and once even took Wang Xiao'e to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

Wang Xiao'e gradually became familiar with the villagers. Sometimes she would pretend to chat with them casually. When they talked about a nearby village, she would casually ask how to get to that village.

Because it was just a casual chat, I didn't care who I was talking to and basically told her everything. Gradually, she had a picture in her mind, and every night she would repeatedly draw that picture in her mind, trying to find the safest escape route.

One day it rained and the villagers didn't have to go to work, so many of them went to the mountain to look for game. Wang Xiao'e asked the old man if he would take her for a walk.

Wang Xiao'e has been performing well recently, so the old man agreed immediately.

When she got to the mountain, she pretended to look for mushrooms and dig wild vegetables seriously. However, due to the cold temperature, mushrooms were hard to find, and she searched for a long time but didn't find many.

At this moment, she suddenly found a patch of poisonous mushrooms growing well. She immediately came up with a plan. She quietly picked some and put them in her pocket.

After returning home, she put the poisonous mushrooms into the dishes while cooking dinner without telling the old man.

After finishing, she pretended to vomit and said that she had no appetite. She let the old man eat first and she would lie on the bed for a while, and then get up to eat after the nausea passed.

The old man didn't force her and started eating by himself.

The fresh mushrooms tasted amazing. The old man even took out a bottle of wine and drank by himself, enjoying the meal very much.

After dinner, when it was dark, she saw Wang Xiao'e lying there and not getting up to eat. She felt a little pain for the baby in her belly, so she called Wang Xiao'e to get up and eat.

Wang Xiao'e said she was very sleepy, so she didn't eat yet. She turned over and went back to sleep.

The old man showed her rare consideration. He didn't continue to bother her or torture her anymore. He then lay down beside her.

He ate some poisonous mushrooms and drank some wine. I don't know if it was the effect of the alcohol or the poisonous mushrooms, but the old man fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.

Wang Xiao'e quietly sat up from the bed and looked out the window. She had to leave here tonight no matter what.
