Although the old woman complained, she quickly grabbed Yun Xiaoxiao's hand.
"We've already brought it all; it's too much trouble to take it back."
"Then the second son will add some more for them."
The man known as the second oldest pretended to be in pain and said, "How about this, I'll add another dollar."
"If there are any more, I can't help you; you'll have to take them back."
The woman traffickers were just saying it; they didn't actually intend to take her back.
But seeing that the man had given in, she wondered if she could say something more.
After some haggling, the old woman finally kept Yun Xiaoxiao for twelve yuan.
Throughout the entire process, Yun Xiaoxiao was in a daze, as if she had been bewitched.
The old woman led her to a dimly lit room.
Inside was a stone bed with a door panel on top.
There was also a worn-out, damp, stiff cotton quilt.
The man brought over a bowl of water and a hard, cold cornbread.
He turned to a spot and said, "Don't mess with her, this is to be sent inside."
A lewd voice came from outside: "Why are you so afraid of him?"
"Even with all his abilities, he still needs to buy a wife."
The old woman also said, "You really can't touch this. Go find your brothers to play with."
Yun Xiaoxiao was startled; just how many sons did this family have?
Fortunately, she didn't act rashly, otherwise she would not only have been unable to escape, but she would definitely have been beaten.
Besides, she doesn't have the strength to run away right now.
It's better to rest and find the next opportunity.
It seems that the person who bought her wasn't from this family; it was someone else entirely.
I just don't know what kind of person he is.
Yun Xiaoxiao struggled to eat the cornbread that was as hard as a rock.
Without water, she really couldn't swallow it.
Hugging her knees, she squatted in the corner of the bed, her mind replaying the events over and over again.
Because of the head injury, and the ordeal that has lasted so long.
Her whole body was tense, but she finally couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.
After seeing that she had fallen asleep, the old woman made a gesture to her two sons.
That lewd voice rang out again: "I didn't realize you were so good at enduring hardship."
Yun Xiaoxiao opened her eyes after they left.
She had just sensed someone watching her from the shadows, so she pretended to fall asleep because she couldn't stay awake any longer.
Now that the person has left, she dares to really sleep.
The next day, Yun Xiaoxiao was awakened by the sound of a door opening.
The tall, burly man opened the door, expressionless, and pulled Yun Xiaoxiao away.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt an urge to urinate, so she said to the old woman beside her:
"I need to use the restroom."
The old woman had initially thought she was mute, but she was surprised to find that she could speak.
Think about it and ask, "Do you need to use the restroom?"
Seeing her nod, he said, "Come with me, don't even think about running away."
This is in the mountains; without a guide, there's no way out.
"And there are wolves in these mountains. If you run out and get eaten by them, I won't be responsible."
Yun Xiaoxiao still listened to what she said.
Yesterday, the human traffickers were afraid of getting dark and were in a hurry to get down the mountain.
This shows that the old woman did not lie to her.
Furthermore, the surrounding mountains also prove that she was not lying.
After Yun Xiaoxiao finished using the outhouse, the man and the old woman led her up the mountain.
After walking along the winding, strange path for an unknown amount of time, Yun Xiaoxiao was completely exhausted and could no longer walk.
This body is still very healthy and can walk quite a bit.
But there was still no way to go on.
The old woman wiped her sweat and said, "Second son, why don't you carry her on your back?"
If she keeps walking like this, she won't reach her destination before dark.
The man glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao and nodded.
Yun Xiaoxiao lay on the man's back, looking completely at his mercy.
The man's stench almost made her vomit.
How long has it been since you took a shower? Can't you be a little more hygienic?
The old woman talked as she walked.
What she was really saying was that once she reached the buyer, she should behave herself and not keep thinking about running away.
It's impossible to escape from this deep mountain forest.
They might even get lost and end up in the wolf's belly.
They also said that the family that bought her was a good one and wouldn't mistreat her.
Yun Xiaoxiao fell asleep while listening.
Since there's no way to escape anyway, I might as well save my energy.
Besides, she has nowhere else to go right now, so she might as well wait and see.
If it passes, then it passes; if it doesn't, then we'll see.
Yun Xiaoxiao was woken up by an old woman.
She muttered, "I've never seen a girl like you who slept the whole way."
No wonder you were sold off; it's because you're so carefree.
You must remember my words: live your life well, and don't keep thinking about running away.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked around at the house in front of her.
No, it can't be called a house.
It should be described as a thatched hut.
Under the shed, there was a child, a little over a year old, clinging to a rickety table propped up with stones.
Two timid eyes looked at them.
The old woman asked the child, "Little one, where are your family members?"
A thin, bony man came out from inside, leaning on a wooden stick.
The man was in his fifties or sixties, and his face was covered in wrinkles.
It was obvious that he knew the old woman and her family.
Tell them to find their own stools to sit on.
Then he carefully examined Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao kept complaining in her heart: These human traffickers are so heartless.
They actually sold her, a fourteen-year-old girl, to such a decrepit old man.
No, absolutely not.
She would rather die than agree.
Perhaps she can return to the place where she lived after she dies.
Just as she was lost in thought, two people entered from outside.
A man even taller than the second brother, estimated to be 1.9 meters tall.
He had bulging muscles all over his body, two very obvious scars on his face, and a stubble beard.
They're like wild men from the mountains.
No, he's a wild man from the mountains.
Look at his outfit, his hair is very long, and his bare upper body is dark and shiny.
His trousers were rolled up to his knees, and a piece of tree bark was tied around his waist.
It might shut down if I sneezed.
He was wearing a pair of straw sandals, which were quite worn out.
And those wolf-like eyes were staring intently at Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy under his gaze and hid behind the old woman.
The woman who followed the man in was also very tanned.
His clothes were covered in patches, and he wore straw sandals.
Her face is so capable and shrewd that you can't tell her age at all.
The woman slapped the man on the back: "How can you stare at people like that?"
Look how scared you've made him!
The man looked away, somewhat embarrassed.
However, he still secretly glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao.
Even when Yun Xiaoxiao was hiding behind the old woman, he still tilted his head to look at her.
Yun Xiaoxiao found it amusing, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
When the man saw Yun Xiaoxiao laughing at him, he also chuckled sheepishly.
The old woman could tell from the man's expression that he was very interested.
Reaching out, I pulled Yun Xiaoxiao out from behind me:
"You've all seen this girl, but I won't say anything more about her."
Although she is a bit thin, her appearance is truly stunning.
"Raise it for two years, and I guarantee it will give you a big, healthy baby boy."
The woman in black pointed to the bloodstains on Yun Xiaoxiao's head and asked, "What happened to her?"
The old woman lied through her teeth: "I bumped into something when I went to the outhouse last night."
