Chapter 022: Helpless
With the slowly open wooden door, a man in his thirties was greeted by Tian Tian's eyes.
Although the man did not have a fierce or lustful expression, after all, he was a man, and in this space of lonely men and widows, Tian Tian would inevitably feel nervous, and involuntarily took a few steps back.
Seeing this, that person seemed to see Tian Tian's thoughts, showed a somewhat awkward smile, and tried his best to defend himself empatheticly: "You don't have to be like this, I'm not a bad person, really." I'm here to bring you food. Come, give!"
Tian Tian looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a long time, and then stretched out his hands to answer it with great vigilance.
It's a bowl of white rice topped with tender pumpkin and beans stacked on top of each other, rising high like a hill.
Tian Tian tried to taste it, and found that the rice was cold, she was very puzzled, and put a bean in her mouth, and found that it was also cold. Tian Tian looked at the visitor in confusion, his eyes wide open.
"What's wrong? Not appetizing?"
The visitor asked in surprise.
"Why is it cold?"
Tian Tian said with a sigh.
"There's no heating, it's a hot day, there's no heating, we've always eaten like this. Maybe you're not used to it, but you'll get used to it slowly. ”
The man babbled and giggled.
However, Tian Tian didn't dare to eat it while holding the bowl.
"Eat! It's fine. I've eaten meals like this since I was a kid and grew up in the summer. ”
He encouraged.
However, Tian Tian still shook his head.
"...... it, but you'll be hungry if you don't eat. ”
The man seemed to be in a hurry.
Although Tian Tian pushed the food to him, after a simple conversation, she didn't seem to be so nervous, and gradually relaxed her guard.
"Where is this?"
Tian Tian asked timidly.
"Ghost ridge back. ”
The man blurted out.
"Ghost Ridge Back, where is Ghost Ridge Back, why am I here?"
When he heard about this somewhat creepy place name that he had never heard of, Tian Tian was very puzzled.
"Here'......"
Seeing that the man's eyes were dodging and looking particularly embarrassed, the sensitive Tian Tian seemed to have a premonition of something.
"Where the hell are you?"
Tian Tian's aggressive question made this honest and honest man not know how to answer. Let's be honest, he doesn't want to hurt her, make up nonsense to lie to her, but he can't do it.
So, in a hurry, he turned around and ran away.
Yes, he can only avoid embarrassment by escaping.
However, the moment he quickly stepped over the threshold, his right arm was tightly grabbed.
He turned his head sharply and saw Tian Tian looking up at him in amazement.
It turned out that Tian Tian stepped up and grabbed him.
"Why am I here? ”
Looking at Tian Tian's pleading eyes, he finally relented.
So, he buried his head and whispered, "Okay, I said." This is a remote mountain village in Guangxi, and you are my wife who bought it from someone else for 5,000 yuan. ”
Although the voice was not loud, Tian Tian heard it really well.
Every word he said was like a steel needle poking into Tian Tian's heart, and he was in pain.
Understood, understood, I met human traffickers!
She feebly let go of the hands that had been holding his arms tightly, turned around, and stumbled back to the bed to sit down, tears gushing out like a flood of open floodgates.
Yes, at this time, Tian Tian, who was physically and mentally exhausted and desperate, no longer had the strength to express his sadness by crying.
Only the strings of helpless tears kept flowing and flowing.
Seeing Tian Tian burst into tears, the man suddenly panicked and was at a loss.
After a long time, he squeezed out a few words: "You, what's wrong with you? You, don't be sad, I swear that I will love you well in the future." ”
Tian Tian glanced at him quickly, lowered her head again, and saw that her lips were trembling and moving.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she jerked to her feet, pushed him out of the door like crazy, and then immediately tied the deadbolt to the door.
Tian Tian leaned against the wooden door, very sad.
Outside the door, there was a constant knock.
"What's wrong with you?
"Open the door!" ......
However, Tian Tian didn't hear it, no matter how he knocked or shouted, he was silent.
I don't know how long it took, and there was a series of footsteps in my ears. He's gone.
Tian Tian sat on the ground in despair, with a kind of sorrow of "calling the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual".
No, have you been staying in this attic in the middle of nowhere? But I'm only in my twenties! No, no, I must find a way to get out, or I won't stay in this hellish place even if I die.
But how do you get out? The only gate to get in and out is locked 24 hours a day.
There was a window, but it was so small that you couldn't even get out of your head, let alone your shoulder. So, it's not an escape at all. Besides, I don't know if this is the second or third floor, in case I jump down and fall half to death.
Helpless, there is only a hunger strike. Use hunger strikes to express your strong resistance.
Seeing that every time the food served to Tian Tian was left there as it was, at the beginning, they took turns to persuade him, but Tian Tian was still unmoved. Seeing that Tian Tian was so stubborn, the family was helpless.
In order to survive, Tian Tian just secretly drank a little water.
However, after all, the grains of rice were not exhausted, and the energy consumed by the body could not be satisfied, and in the end, Tian Tian was still in shock.
She also hesitated when she struggled to get up from the ground with a dizzy look in her eyes.
I thought to myself, isn't it too stupid to do this myself?
What if you really have something to do with your strengths and weaknesses? Aren't you sorry for your parents and family who worked hard to raise you?
However, if you don't make a fuss, you can really only be trapped in this mountain, perhaps, until you die. It will be impossible to see his family again.
Thinking of this, Tian Tian's nose suddenly became sour, his throat felt hard, and tears rolled in his eyes.
No, I must go out and find a way to get out, even if there is a glimmer of hope.
Tian Tian bit his lip firmly.
This night, suddenly, Tian Tian heard a noise outside the door in the haze, which seemed to be arguing quietly and pushing each other.
Tian Tian stood up curiously, pricked up his ears with bated breath and listened, but because they spoke in dialects, they still couldn't understand a word.
Only vaguely heard the words were a man and a woman.
What's going on?
Tian Tian was full of doubts.
This night, Tian Tian tossed and turned, and she almost didn't close her eyes. Because, she suddenly felt that she was not secure at all. She even felt like a pig on the board, completely out of her mind.
