Zhang Xinglian was awakened by the pain. She'd been like this for days, the pain throbbing her body. Sometimes it woke her up, sometimes it kept her awake. She was constantly groggy, wondering where she was, worried and afraid. But the pain was so intense she couldn't even think, let alone resist.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in darkness, unable to see anything around her, and unable to tell whether it was day or night. Only the hard wooden bed beneath her gave her a sense of reality.
She opened her eyes and adjusted herself before trying to get up.
But the wounds on her body were so severe that she had no strength left. After struggling for several times, she had to give up.
"Water..." She shouted, but her voice was so hoarse that it couldn't be heard at all.
There was still silence all around, and the endless darkness made people feel terrified.
She not only wanted to drink water, she was also hungry. The wounds on her body were very serious and she usually had no appetite, but she was really hungry and wanted to eat.
But she had no one, not a single person, and she couldn't get up.
For the first time, Zhang Xinglian felt a deep sense of fear and despair. Who on earth had captured her? And what was their purpose?
She was lost in thoughts and fear for a long time, and finally a sound came from the dark space.
There was the sound of a door opening. She hurriedly tried to get up, but couldn't. Turning around, she finally saw the door open. Outside was a dimly lit corridor. A man with a vague outline walked in.
The man was holding two bowls and seemed a little surprised to see Zhang Xinglian standing up. However, he didn't say anything. He just put the two bowls on the small table next to him and left.
Zhang Xinglian wanted to see the man in front of her clearly, but she couldn't. She didn't know if it was because of the wounds on her body, or because she was too hungry, or because the light in the room was too dim, she couldn't see the man in front of her clearly.
"Ah," she tried to speak with her voice hoarse, "Who...who are you?"
But the man didn't answer her and turned to leave.
"Come... come back!" Zhang Xinglian shouted hoarsely, but there was no response and the door slammed shut again.
The room was plunged into darkness again.
Zhang Xinglian screamed twice, but there was no response. Finally, she could only struggle to get up. After groping around for a while, she found a steamed bun and a bowl of water. She took the water and drank it, then wolfed down the steamed bun.

The next day, Zhang Xingrong got up early, stayed with her family for a while, and made roast goose for everyone.
When the brothers and Su Ying heard that she was leaving again and had to go to the Northeast, they were reluctant to let her go.
Rong Ya is really too busy. They can only count the number of times they can see her throughout the year. They really don’t want to let her go.
"Wait for me to go to the Northeast to pick up someone, and then I'll go home to be with you guys after I come back. My eldest brother will probably be back by then."
Our family couldn't get together this Spring Festival because she didn't come back, so let's talk about it when she comes back.
After eating roast goose and handing out prizes to a group of children, he went to Luo Ertao to tell her to have a good rest before heading back to the factory. He discussed some issues with Ma Wan and the others, and when the time was almost up, he boarded the factory bus and headed back to the provincial capital.
