His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was too stunned to speak for a moment.
However, Yao Qingshuang did not give Su Wenjun too much time to be dazed at this moment. The situation was urgent and everyone had to be woken up quickly.
She quickly handed the spray bottle she had been holding to Su Wenjun, her eyes revealing an unquestionable determination. She urged him in a low voice, "Don't just stand there, take this water and go wake up the others. We have to find a way to leave here. It will be even more dangerous if we're late."
Su Wenjun finally came back to his senses. He mechanically stretched out his hand and took the spray bottle handed to him by Yao Qingshuang. It seemed as if the movement was not under his control. It was obvious that he was still immersed in the huge shock of learning the truth.
But he also understood that the situation was critical and could not afford any delay.
So, Su Wenjun forced himself to cheer up and tiptoed towards the person closest to him.
He squatted down carefully, trying not to make any noise, and finally woke the person up.
As soon as the person who woke up opened his eyes, he looked at the dark and unfamiliar environment in front of him, and the people lying unconscious around him. His face was confused, and his eyes were full of bewilderment and confusion. It was obvious that he had not figured out what had happened.
Su Wenjun didn't dare to say much, for fear that the noise he made would alert the possible bad guys outside.
He just quickly covered the man's mouth with his hand, and signaled him with his eyes not to make any sound, then pointed to the other people around who were still unconscious, meaning that he should help wake everyone up.
Although the man still looked confused, he realized something was wrong when he saw Su Wenjun's serious and nervous expression. He nodded sensibly, indicating that he understood what Su Wenjun meant.
Afterwards, the two of them began to act in tacit understanding, continuing to gently wake up other people who were still unconscious, trying to make everyone wake up as soon as possible.
Soon, with the joint efforts of Su Wenjun and other people who had already woken up, the adults in the house woke up one after another.
Some of them rubbed their sleepy eyes, while others looked at the strange and dim environment around them with a blank look on their faces, not understanding what was going on.
Seeing that everyone was almost awake, Yao Qingshuang hurried to the middle of the crowd, lowered her voice again, and told everyone in detail about their current situation.
Although her voice was soft, every word she spoke was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart hard.
After hearing this, everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.
How is that possible?
When I saw the porridge distribution scene at the city gate before, I thought that the kind-hearted people in Ping'an County were helping these poor refugees. Who would have thought that the so-called porridge distribution was actually intended to harm them!
This huge contrast was difficult for them to accept for a while, and they were filled with shock and anger.
But when their eyes swept over the strange situation in front of them and the dark and gloomy house that was obviously not a good place, they had to believe it.
After all, the facts are right in front of them and they have no choice but to deny them.
After some timid people realized what was going on, they were so scared that they trembled all over and couldn't help sobbing softly.
The suppressed sobbing was particularly clear in the silent room. The people nearby were shocked when they saw it, fearing that the crying would alert the bad guys outside and bring greater danger to themselves and everyone else.
So they quickly reached out their hands and covered the mouths of the timid people tightly, and at the same time used stern eyes to signal them not to make any sound and to keep quiet.
Just like that, in the atmosphere of panic and tension, it took a while for everyone to calm down.
They took a deep breath, tried to calm themselves down, and began to slowly accept this cruel fact.
Now that we are in such a predicament, there is no point in just being afraid. The most urgent thing is to find a way to escape.
So, at this moment, everyone sat together spontaneously, looking at each other. Although there was still fear in their eyes, there was more of a determination.
Everyone was thinking silently in their hearts that they must unite and come up with a foolproof plan to escape from this terrible place and never let those evil people succeed.
At this critical moment, everyone in Sujia Village turned their eyes to the village chief, their eyes full of expectation and dependence, as if the village chief was their only backbone at the moment, hoping that the village chief could come up with a good idea to lead everyone out of this terrible predicament.
However, the village chief did not directly express his thoughts at this moment, but slowly shifted his gaze to Yao Qingshuang.
After all, among all the people in this room, Yao Qingshuang was the only one who did not faint and even cleverly woke them up.
Maybe she will have some brilliant solution.
The village chief's eyes were filled with inquiry and expectation, and he said softly: "Mother Wencheng, this time is all thanks to you. Look at the current situation, do you have any good ideas?"
When everyone heard this, they all focused their attention on Yao Qingshuang. There was confusion, hope, and more importantly, an eager wait in their eyes, hoping that she could come up with a feasible escape plan.
Yao Qingshuang felt everyone's gazes on her, she frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
In fact, she was also very anxious. After all, everyone was in such a dangerous situation now. If they were not careful, they might fall into a worse situation.
But she also understood that she had to stay calm at this moment and not act rashly.
After a while, Yao Qingshuang raised her head, her eyes sweeping across everyone's faces, and then she slowly said, "I think we really shouldn't act rashly right now. Think about it, everyone. First of all, we don't know exactly how many people are guarding us outside, nor do we know if they have weapons.
If we act rashly, and there are many people guarding outside, and all of them are armed with sharp blades, then if we rush out, we will be like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth, and we will only lose our lives in vain."
She paused, and seeing that everyone was listening intently, she continued, "Secondly, we still haven't figured out their real purpose for bringing us here. If we don't understand this, even if we manage to escape, we might fall into their trap again."
So, I think we should continue to pretend to be unconscious, wait and see what they want us to do tomorrow, and then make plans after we understand the situation clearly. This will not only ensure our current safety, but also give us time to plan a more comprehensive escape plan.
After listening to Yao Qingshuang's analysis, everyone fell into deep thought, with different expressions on their faces.
Some people nodded slightly, with approval in their eyes. They crossed their arms and leaned back slightly, as if they had silently agreed with Yao Qingshuang's words in their hearts.
One of the older men gently stroked his sparse beard, nodded and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. He felt that in the dark, as Yao Qingshuang said, it was too dangerous to act rashly. It would be better to hold back and figure out the situation first.
