"Yuzhen, Yuzhen, stop calling me, it's me, it's Yuyan!"
Hearing Kong Yuzhen's terrified cries, Su Qingci quickly stepped forward to comfort her!
Kong Yuzhen groped and took Su Qingci's hand, her tone still showing signs of shock.
"Yu Yan? Yu Yan! Is it really you?"
"What happened to us? Where are we?"
Su Qingci squeezed her hand back, "Don't be afraid. Calm down first."
"I just woke up too. I touched your collar and realized it was you lying next to me. I was so scared. I thought I had been dumped in a mass grave."
Su Qingci's words only made things worse, because Kong Yuzhen could no longer suppress her fear and burst into tears.
She squeezed towards Su Qingci while crying and trembling.
All I could think of was a pair of embroidered shoes, and her under the bed...
Su Qingci patted her shoulder and comforted her, "I remember we were strolling around the Eight Great Hutongs, and then you dragged me and said you wanted to go boating on the lake across the alley, and then someone smothered you and knocked you unconscious?"
Kong Yuzhen nestled in Su Qingci's arms and nodded slowly, "Yes, I was covered by a hand, and I saw that it was a very dark and strong hand."
Thinking of Su Qingci's experience yesterday, Kong Yuzhen was suddenly stunned and asked anxiously, "Yuyan, have we fallen into the hands of kidnappers?"
"Yuzhen, be more confident, and remove the word 'can't'!"
"Waaaaaah~, I don't want to be sold to an old bachelor's family deep in the mountains~"
Su Qingci comforted her, "Don't cry. Being sold to the mountains is actually lucky. At least you'll save your life. I was afraid you'd be cut off, thrown out to beg, or turned into a human pig for people to watch."
After Su Qingci patiently explained to Kong Yuzhen the disabled beggars and the human pigs for viewing, Kong Yuzhen completely broke down.
The shouts that pierced the sky attracted the human traffickers who were waiting outside.
"Shut up! If you keep howling, I'll cripple you!"
"Well!"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Kong Yuzhen quickly covered her mouth, choking and hiccuping!
Seeing that they had intimidated the person, the people outside turned and left, satisfied.
Once the other person's footsteps had faded into the distance, Kong Yuzhen released her hand and gasped for breath.
"Yu Yan, what... what should we do?"
Su Qingci paused for a moment, "Before I was smothered unconscious, I scraped off your hair clip. If A Yong comes looking for me, he should be able to see it. If he calls the police, maybe we can be saved."
Kong Yuzhen nodded repeatedly to comfort herself, "Yes, yes, Brother Yu will definitely tell him when he finds out I'm missing, boohoo, my brother will definitely come to save me, he will definitely come to save me!"
Su Qingci released Kong Yuzhen and prepared to stand up.
Startled, Kong Yuzhen quickly grabbed her, asking, "What are you doing? Where are you going?"
"Don't be afraid. I just want to see where this place is. It's not realistic to just passively wait for someone to rescue us. What if they hide us well and can't find us for a while? And who knows how long we can stay here? Maybe we'll be transported to another place soon."
"Ideally, we should find a way to escape ourselves! As long as we reach populated areas, we'll be saved! Our leader taught us that there's always a solution to every problem, isn't there?"
Kong Yuzhen, like a chick pecking at rice, helped Su Qingci to her feet. "Yes, yes, yes, let's find a way to escape!"
The two wandered around the warehouse several times, but apart from the few door panels that were sealed off, there was nowhere they could get out.
"Yu Yan, what should we do?"
"There's no way around it. We've already checked them all. I guess we'll only have a chance if they open the front few door panels."
"Then what should we do?"
"Make them open the door!"
Will they drive it?
"Try it and you'll see!"
Next, Su Qingci and Kong Yuyan shouted at the top of their lungs, "Help! Help!"
"Give me some water, I'm dying of thirst..."
After the two of them howled and screamed for a while, the people guarding outside finally lost their patience.
"What are you howling about? It's so noisy!"
"Brother, I'm thirsty, could you give me some water? It's so hot, I can't stand the thirst!"
"Stop howling, you've got too much to say, just wait!"
The people outside scolded him a few times in an annoyed manner and then left.
Kong Yuzhen tightened her grip on Su Qingci's hand. "What will we do if he pulls the board away later?"
Before Su Qingci could say anything, the sound of shoes dragging on the ground came from outside again.
Soon, one piece of the board that was stuck on the seal was pulled out.
The moment the light slanted in, a strong arm holding a large, rough porcelain bowl also reached in.
"Hurry up, take it!"
Before the other person could finish speaking, Su Qingci suddenly grabbed that arm and violently pulled it in with all her might.
A loud thud.
The person outside was pulled forward violently, and his head slammed into the earthen wall above the door frame.
Before he could even utter a sound, his body went limp and he collapsed.
The porcelain bowl that was being held in his hands crashed onto the muddy floor of the warehouse with a loud thud.
Kong Yuzhen stared wide-eyed at Su Qingci's series of actions, "Yuyan, he, he's dead?"
"No, he must have been knocked unconscious. The impact with the earthen wall shouldn't have been too severe, he'll wake up soon. Let's hurry."
As Su Qingci explained, she stretched out a hand and tried to pull off the remaining board.
The board was heavy and thick, and it took a while to pull it out of the clip. Once the two boards were pulled out, the opening was already about 70 by 40 cm in size.
