Yuetong leaned against the cold stone wall and sighed silently.
It has been two days since she was arrested.
Yesterday, she fainted in a wooden box after a bumpy ride. When she woke up, she was in this cave surrounded by walls. I don't know who had compassion and untied her hands and feet.
Naturally, she couldn't sit still and wait for death since she was able to move, but there was an iron door handle at the door of the spacious and deep cave. Although her hands and feet could move freely, she couldn't open the iron thing with her bare hands.
Ever since, she screamed to the sky and the earth, screaming at the top of her lungs for a long time, but not only did no one show up, not even a fly or mosquito appeared.
There were only empty caves where her echo came from.
Seeing that her good clothes were torn, the blood on her arms had dried, and the pain was coming from her back, she became even more angry and anxious.
After yelling and scolding, she yelled and yelled over and over again, until her throat was so hoarse that it hurt to swallow her saliva, so she had no choice but to lie down on the ground. She basically used up all her strength by yelling, her throat hurt again, and her body was sore.
It hurts, and my feet are also weak from squatting in the wooden box for a long time.
"Damn... ahem... you, you son of a bitch, a bastard... wait until I get out... ahem... I will blow your... anus..."
Someone who was unwilling to use his remaining strength spoke to himself in a hoarse and weak voice. The already weak voice spread in this deep cave. People who didn't know it might have thought that there was a woman hidden inside.
The ghost screams injustice.
She had no choice but to close her mouth until she was really speechless, but she was still cursing in her heart.
Should she be grateful that she had a good meal before being caught?
If she hadn't eaten that day because she was angry with that man, she would have died long ago, and she wouldn't have been able to scream and curse for so long.
I wonder what that man is doing? Last time she climbed the wall and left secretly, he was so angry that he died. This time he found out that she was missing, and he didn’t know what his reaction would be? Will he still be angry? Will he come to find her?
?
Yuetong suddenly came back to her senses, damn, why are you thinking of him now?
Didn't she try every means to leave? Now that she has left, why would she miss him again?
Well, she admitted that the way she left was very different from her plan, and it was not the usual big difference. But why did she feel a little reluctant to leave...
Reluctant to give up? Where exactly are you reluctant to give up?
Sigh... So what can I do if I don't want to leave? She doesn't know where she is now, how can she still expect him to come and save her?
ridiculous!
But... why is there an expectation at this moment... an expectation that he can appear in front of her... an expectation that he can save her...
Is it because he is the first person she knows in this country and is also her first man, so she has expectations for him?
It's annoying - help - why is it so bad? - After sleeping all day and night in the cold stone cave, Yuetong woke up and felt that her whole body was limp and weak.
She is so stupid, all her efforts yesterday were in vain, and all her strength was exhausted.
It seemed that she was really finished this time and was dead.
Bastard named Yin, it seems that I am really going to leave you... I wonder if you will remember me after a few years?
Why hasn't anyone come yet?
Yin, does he really not care about her?
Feeling dizzy, I unconsciously began to miss someone.
Just when Yuetong was dazed and wanted to sleep again, the iron door at the door made a loud noise, waking Yuetong up.
"Hurry up! Get me in! Line everything up and stay inside for me! I will kill whoever wants to rebel first!"
Hearing a loud shout, Yuetong raised her eyelids and looked at groups of people slowly approaching her with their heads lowered. No one spoke, there were only bursts of "clattering" sounds on the ground. Looking carefully, everyone's feet were
Hanging on a long iron chain, she couldn't help but be startled by the dim candlelight in the cave as she waited for someone to approach.
Wow! What a ghost!
If people don’t come, you’ll think so. When they come, so many people come! What are you doing?
Everyone has unkempt hair, ragged clothes, hunched shoulders, dirt on their hands, and dirt on their faces. Almost everyone has whip marks of different sizes and depths. In comparison, she is now
He is still the cleanest person in the cave.
After being frightened, another fierce voice came:
"Everyone, listen, don't whisper to each other! Don't make any crooked ideas! I advise you all to be honest, otherwise you will end up worse than those who tried to escape before!"
There was a loud bang and the iron door was closed again. Only then did Yuetong react. She opened her mouth and looked at the sudden appearance of more than a hundred people in the huge stone cave in surprise. She immediately opened the spacious stone cave.
The cave was filled to the brim, but fortunately the cave was deep and wide, so there was still room to sit down even with so many people coming in.
Refugee? Or slave?
They all seem similar.
In fact, she looked almost as embarrassed as those people. Her hair was messy, her hairpin and headdress had fallen to nowhere, her bun was hanging loosely, and her clothes were in tatters, stained with dried blood. The only difference was that
Even her exposed face and hands were fair and clean, and there were no chains on her feet.
Although no one spoke, the people who came in still saw her and thought in their hearts:
Alas, it's probably a new arrival. For such a young woman to be so weak, it seems that her beauty will fade away sooner or later. It's a pity...
Yuetong didn't have the heart to guess what they were thinking. She looked left and right, and saw that the dirty faces of these people were full of lifeless and depressed expressions. Most of them were sitting on the ground with their heads lowered, and she didn't know whether they could
There were several holes in the iron chains on the feet. Only a few of them looked around with their eyes, but the light from their eyes seemed dull and empty.
There is a problem! There is a huge problem!
Yuetong's eyes moved rapidly. A restless person will not be too well-behaved even when he is about to die.
Although she had no strength and every sound she made felt like her throat was being burned, she still managed to hold herself up.
Although Yuetong really wanted to have a good rest, how could she possibly calm down after the spectacular scene?
"Uncle... you cough cough cough... what are you... doing... where... where did you come from?"
asked a dark-skinned man sitting next to her.
It was surprisingly quiet in the huge cave, except for the sound of breathing and the muffled echo.
Her voice was quite abrupt, but only a few people raised their heads to look at her, then shook their heads as if nothing, and remained silent with their heads down.
This made Yuetong even more confused. Could it be that these people were mute?
But she clearly felt that these people were reacting. Those who could look up at her had obvious panic and a hint of worry in their eyes.
What are they afraid of?
After being depressed for two days, Yuetong finally felt a little like a human being, but couldn't get any response, which made Yuetong anxious and angry.
Ask again and try!
"Auntie... what are you doing?..."
She stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of a haggard woman's tattered clothes, pretending to be aggrieved and pitiful and asked.
"Shhh, kid, keep your voice down, you'll die!" Maybe women are soft-hearted, so the woman couldn't bear to see her continue to attract other people's attention in such a high-profile manner, so she quickly advised her in a low voice.
"You...where do you all come from?"
"Girl, you better stop talking. Seeing that you are so weak, you must have not eaten? I have half a steamed bun here. You need to fill your stomach first...
..." As he said that, he took out a dark object from his arms and stuffed it into Yuetong's hand.
She regarded Yuetong as someone like them, so she didn't think she would mind. After all, people like them were afraid of dying of exhaustion and starvation. If they died, they would not even have the chance to see their relatives in the future.
No, it's pitiful that this good-natured girl is brought here to work like them.
Yuetong closed her eyes, not sure what it was, and she didn't have much strength to pick it up. Just when she was in a daze, a dark head popped up from behind the woman and whispered to the woman:
"Mom, that's what I left for you. How could you just give it to others?"
Yuetong then took a closer look and saw clearly that it was a child of almost ten years old. He had round eyes and a thin face, looking at the woman reluctantly.
"It's okay. Mom is not hungry now. Let's feed this sister first. We have temporarily stopped working and we are not doing any work now. We will be able to pass after just holding on. Look at that sister, she has thin arms and legs. She can't even speak or move.
You can’t, you can’t just ignore it.”
The woman's words were almost whispered into the child's ear, but Yuetong still listened to them word for word.
Suddenly she became speechless, and her heart moved even more. For some reason, she felt that her nose was a little sore, and her eyes began to hurt. She raised her arms in the air, and finally took the dark drink from the woman's hand.
The thing called steamed buns was handed to the child's arms instead of being put into his mouth. He grinned at the child, showing his neat little teeth.
It wasn't that she disliked other people's things being dirty, or that they were of low quality, but the mother and son's words made her heart warm and full of emotion.
For a person like her who had no one to love her since she was a child, what the mother and son showed was something she would never dare to hope for in her life. How could she destroy it?
She wasn't particularly hungry, it was just that she was exhausted from being yelled and scolded for a long time on the road, and it was not to the point of death. But she couldn't understand that so many people were so dark that almost all of them were transparent.
What’s the reason for that look of despair and indifference?
If there is a problem, it must be solved. She has always been stubborn and couldn't hold back her words. So she tried her best to prop up her body and move closer to the woman. Perhaps seeing that she was struggling, the woman did not hesitate to pull her towards her.
Yue Tong took advantage of the situation and put his head on her shoulder, firstly to save some energy, and secondly, to make it easier to talk.
"Auntie... where did you come from? Why... why are you all like this?" Because she lowered her voice, she had to pinch her throat to speak clearly.
But as soon as her hoarse voice came out, even she almost frightened herself.
