Chapter 213 Let these women fend for themselves here.
Although Wang Shuya's words were harsh, they were true.
As soon as Wang Shuya said that, the women who were excitedly trying to go back to their rooms to pack their things suddenly felt weak all over. They slumped to the ground, some covering their faces and sobbing, while others began to wail loudly.
Yes, they've lost their minds. Once they're kidnapped by bandits and taken to the mountains, even if they're still innocent, who will believe they're innocent?
Moreover, women who had indeed been taken by bandits and went down the mountain also met a bad end.
The girls who had just been clamoring to go home were made to realize the truth by Wang Shuya's words. Unable to accept the injustices they would face after returning home, they all hung their heads in dejection and lost their yearning for life.
“After you come down the mountain, you won’t be without a way to survive…” Lin Luoxi couldn’t help but speak up when she saw the pale, lifeless expressions on the girls’ faces.
"Who are you? Are you also a girl who was kidnapped by bandits and brought up the mountain?" Just as everyone was immersed in despair and hopelessness, they suddenly heard Lin Luoxi's words and looked at her in unison.
Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, a glimmer of hope appeared on the faces of every woman.
But upon seeing Lin Luoxi's appearance, they were plunged into despair once again.
She's probably another unlucky girl, kidnapped by bandits and taken up the mountain. She's in the same boat as them.
"I am the one you call the one who attacked the mountain." Lin Luoxi saw that the girls' eyes had lost their hope for life, and she couldn't help but stand up to try to save them.
"What? You're the one who attacked the mountain?" Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, Wang Shuya showed no gratitude towards Lin Luoxi, but instead glared at her angrily.
"Girl, why are you looking at me like that?" If it weren't for the fact that the other woman was heavily pregnant and she was afraid of upsetting her and causing a miscarriage, Lin Luoxi would never have spoken to her in such a nice tone.
"What are you pretending to be kind about? Why attack now of all times? Why not earlier or later?"
Where were you when we were first tied up on the mountain? We've just accepted this reality, and now you're making a mess of our lives again.
You have the nerve to ask me what I want? I'd like to ask you, what do you want? Are you really that jealous of us?
Wang Shuya could no longer bear the blow and went into a state of madness. Instead of being grateful to Lin Luoxi for attacking the mountain, she shouted and condemned Lin Luoxi.
"You mean I shouldn't have attacked the mountain and shouldn't have disturbed your bandit aunt's life?" Lin Luoxi couldn't help but laugh in anger when she heard Wang Shuya's statement, and squinted at Wang Shuya.
Lin Luoxi glanced at the women out of the corner of her eye and noticed that some of them were looking at her with the same condemning gaze.
Lin Luoxi was so angry she wanted to twist open the heads of these women with their thought processes to see what was inside them.
This was the funniest thing she had ever heard. She hadn't attacked Bear Ridge under the guise of rescuing people, so she felt no remorse for Wang Shuya's condemnation.
"If you think I shouldn't have attacked Bear Ridge, then let me tell you, I didn't attack Bear Ridge under the pretense of rescuing you."
"And if you don't want to leave here, and you really like life here, and no one is thinking of kicking you out, you can continue to live here."
Lin Luoxi felt that she shouldn't have stood up earlier; she should have just let these women fend for themselves here.
After saying this, Lin Luoxi turned and left, ignoring these lunatics.
"Miss, miss, wait a minute, wait a minute."
After taking a few steps, Lin Luoxi heard someone calling her from behind, so she stopped and turned her head slightly.
The girl who was shouting from behind saw Lin Luoxi's actions and wondered if Lin Luoxi was really angry with that crazy woman, Wang Shuya.
He jogged up to Lin Luoxi and asked cautiously, "Miss, you just said we have a way to survive if we go down the mountain. Please give us a way to survive." He even bent his knees, preparing to kneel down before Lin Luoxi.
Lin Luoxi looked at the girl in front of her. She was the girl who had just persuaded Wang Shuya. She had a gentle face and made people feel comfortable at first glance.
Seeing how polite the other person was and even knelt down before her, Lin Luoxi quickly turned aside to avoid the girl's kneeling.
"Girl, let's talk this out. Don't get agitated. Get up quickly." If it were someone like Wang Shuya who came up like that, Lin Luoxi wouldn't be afraid. But she was afraid of this kind of person who would kneel down before her without moving. There was really no way to deal with such a person.
"My benefactor, I really don't want to stay in this mountain anymore. Please show me the way." The girl spoke with great manners, showing that she had been well-educated in her boudoir.
"The 'clear path' means you work for me, I pay you wages, no one knows your past, and no one will gossip about it."
"Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you are not willing, just pretend I didn't say anything. I will not force anyone."
The reason Lin Luoxi softened her stance and offered to provide them with a clear path was because she needed a significant number of people to help her build her wealth in the future.
Seeing that these girls had nowhere to go, he thought of pointing them in the right direction, but he didn't expect that his good intentions would be taken for granted.
"See, see, I told you there's no such thing as a free lunch. No one is kind to people for no reason. She just wants us to sell ourselves to her and work for her..."
After being rebuked by Lin Luoxi, Wang Shuya's resentment towards the bandits shifted to Lin Luoxi.
Now, whatever Lin Luoxi says, she thinks Lin Luoxi is trying to profit from it.
"Smack!"
"Is this slap enough to make you realize the truth? In your current state, what do you think I could possibly gain from you?"
"And you're so high and mighty, why didn't you bang your head against the wall to prove your innocence when the bandits wanted your body?"
"Don't act like a mad dog and bite people just because I show up. Don't you know I'm not going to bite you like that?" If I don't slap her a few times, she'll really be a pushover.
Lin Luoxi never tolerated this kind of person, especially since the other person wasn't even anyone to her. After listening to her constant nagging, Lin Luoxi had long wanted to punch her.
Now they're not only slapping each other, but also verbally attacking each other.
"You, you, you..." Wang Shuya covered her right cheek where Lin Luoxi had slapped her, pointing at Lin Luoxi with uncontrollable rage, but she didn't know how to start cursing.
Lin Luoxi is right. Given their current situation, what could anyone possibly want from them? It's just that fate is unfair, and Lin Luoxi just happened to appear at this time, becoming her punching bag.
"Girl, we'll work for you, but do you want to sign a contract of servitude?" Since there's nowhere for them to go, what difference does it make whether they sell themselves or not?
She was willing to sign a contract of servitude with her benefactor, as long as it put her at ease and gave them a way to survive.
