The biggest feature of her Lingquan space is of course the Lingquan. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it can cure all diseases, but it is true that long-term consumption can strengthen the body, beautify the skin, and prolong life. Apart from that, there is only a small thatched cottage, a few acres of spiritual fields, and a few fruit trees. It is not big, but it can make her self-sufficient.
I don’t know how long it has been since this body had a full meal. My stomach is so empty that it feels acidic, and my limbs are weak.
I secretly ate a few pieces of lotus candy and nibbled on a few cakes, and finally recovered.
He carefully stood up and touched the wooden board leading to the basement. Perhaps he was too confident, or perhaps he felt that they were all tied up tightly and no one could open the board. There was no lock on it and no one was guarding it.
Gently pushing open a crack, Wei Ci's pair of big and charming peach blossom eyes looked around like a thief, her dark eyeballs rolling around, and her little ears twitched again and again with concentration.
This should be an abandoned yard, overgrown with weeds. Everywhere Wei Ci looked, there were weeds, with only a small path that had been trampled by people for years.
Listening carefully, he could hear the sounds of insects and birds chirping mixed with the faint sounds of drinking, laughing, cursing, and a woman sobbing and wailing. It was a bit far away, probably in the front yard.
Wei Ci was just about to crawl out and slip away, but a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As a newbie, she could not beat anyone, so she had better save her life first.
“Woo…”
Wei Ci, who had just made a move, was frightened by the voice. He stood still on the ladder like a gecko, and silently turned his head to look at the girl who had opened her eyes and was struggling hard. His eyebrows raised slightly, and a meaningful look flashed across his face.
The aunt said that it takes three helpers to be a hero, and that one should take action when it is time to do so. However, the aunt also said that one should always be on guard against others. She felt that the first sentence of her aunt could be ignored, and the second sentence was the key point.
In this situation, she was even a little worried about her own safety. If she helped these people, she was afraid that she would get herself into trouble. She was like a grasshopper in a cage and couldn't jump up.
The girl seemed to see her hesitation and struggled even harder. Tears began to glisten in her little deer eyes, as if to say, "If you don't ignore me, I'll cry in front of you."
Several girls and children who were still unconscious around her were awakened by her one after another. They looked around in confusion and fear, and then, as Wei Ci had expected, they began to struggle violently on the spot. If there was no something blocking their mouths, their screams would probably have broken through the door and been heard two miles away.
Wei Ci sighed, his shoulders drooped, and his eyes were full of resentment.
Aunt, you didn’t teach me what to do when I encounter such a thing?
After thinking for a while, she walked down slowly, squatted beside a few girls, put her index finger to her mouth and made a gesture of silence, signaling them not to speak. After getting their permission, she took the things out of their mouths.
“Ahem…”
“Ahem…”
The coughing sounds came one after another, which frightened Wei Ci so much that she quickly covered their mouths, fearing that they would attract the people outside.
"Don't make any noise, those people are outside."
The girl who woke up first looked at Wei Ci, and a complex expression flashed across her eyes.
"Little sister, how did you untie the rope?"
Wei Ci paused, then shrugged nonchalantly... Well, she learned this action from her aunt, and she thought it was very cool.
"They didn't tie it tightly enough, and my wrists are thin, so I can just struggle free."
The girl seemed unconvinced. She first looked at the ropes piled up in the corner, then moved her gaze over and looked at Wei Ci up and down with a strange look. Finally, her gaze fixed on her face. Her expression was indescribably complicated, with envy, jealousy, and not obvious sympathy.
Wei Ci untied the six girls and four children one by one.
Everyone is of different ages. The oldest girl is the one who just woke up. Her name is Mengwa and she is twenty years old. The youngest is Wei Ci, who is only fifteen years old. The oldest child is five years old and the youngest is only two years old. They are all boys.
Wei Ci pondered for a while, and cursed those human traffickers... well, human traffickers in his heart. They really played this business very clearly.
Girls are kidnapped to be married to others, so they are usually around 28 years old. Boys are kidnapped to be adopted as sons, and the younger the better.
"How did you get kidnapped?"
Wei Ci was very curious. In her memory, although there was a severe famine outside and people were not able to eat enough or wear warm clothes, the girls in the county town and the big city all ate rationed food. It shouldn't be possible for them to be sold by their family for two pieces of paper like the original owner, right?
Upon hearing this, the girls lowered their heads, feeling embarrassed, ashamed and angry.
"I was knocked unconscious on the way home."
"I was helping an old lady who had lost her way home when she was knocked unconscious and tied up."
"Well...I was tricked into coming here."
Wei Ci learned a lot from listening to their conversations. It turned out that no business was easy. Even this kind of business with no capital required ordinary people to have poor mental qualities and means to do it.
In the words of her aunt, her brain is destined to be kidnapped, and she can't last more than two episodes in a costume drama. Although she doesn't know what a costume drama is, she can still understand when her aunt calls her stupid.
Meng Wa stayed aside without saying a word, just quietly watching everyone talking. Occasionally, when she met Wei Ci's eyes, she would smile and nod politely, and she didn't seem anxious at all. Wei Ci smiled foolishly and scratched her head, not letting others see that she had noticed something wrong. She was just a weak little girl who didn't like to meddle in other people's business.
Just as they were discussing countermeasures, a boy with a delicate figure but a dog-chewed haircut fell to the ground with a thud. His little face was flushed red and he started mumbling nonsense.
