Chapter XXXVII

Someone has already begun to bid, and his face is eager to try, "I'll pay five thousand." ”

Five thousand......

Ye Ning smiled bitterly, it turned out that a living person, in this place, was only worth a thousand yuan.

"Five thousand?" The other person opened his mouth, and his tone was full of mockery, "You are still the same goods as before, such a handsome girl, you give five thousand, are you embarrassed!" I'll give a thousand! ”

The crowd exploded, and some people began to bid non-stop.

"I'll give 12,000."

"I'll give fifteen thousand."

The woman on the side looked at her as if she had seen the money blossoming, and seeing that everyone kept bidding for money, she stretched out her hand to signal, and the noisy sound finally stopped.

The woman coughed lightly before she smiled and said, "Look, this girl I brought here today is really good-looking, isn't it?" ”

Everyone kept echoing, and the smile on the woman's face deepened, "If you want to please a good-looking daughter-in-law, you have to spend more money, and the price is the same. ”

"Yes, yes, yes,"

Everyone echoed it, and the woman saw that her words had already worked, so she went straight to the topic, "In this way, I say a price, and I will give it to whoever has the ability, and I will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and now that I have paid the money, I will give my daughter-in-law to her, and you say, how about it?" ”

Ye Ning listened unpleasantly on the side, facing the scene in front of her, at this moment, she didn't know what to do with herself next.

If she didn't have the ability to escape, if Ruan Yebai didn't think about saving her at all......

Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned, it turned out that in her heart, she was so expecting Ruan Yebai to save her.

In her ears, the woman's opening changed her thoughts for going away, "In this way, 30,000, 30,000, a fixed price, whoever can afford it, I will give this beautiful daughter-in-law to whomever I want, how about it?" ”

"30,000 ......"

Everyone exclaimed for a while, and some people opened their mouths dissatisfied, "The income of a thirty-year-old strong man in our village is only a few thousand yuan a year, and you actually want 30,000 yuan." ”

One of them also chimed in, "That's right, buying such a daughter-in-law is going to make our poor family bankrupt." ”

It may be that 30,000 yuan is really a lot for them, and the voice of controversy sounded in the crowd again, the woman's face flashed impatiently, and she was about to speak, but she didn't want someone in the crowd to open her mouth at this time, it was an old woman about sixty years old, and said very firmly: "I want this daughter-in-law." ”

Ye Ning couldn't help but look at the old woman, the old woman was wearing patched clothes, the wrinkles on her face were very deep, and she didn't look like she had 30,000 yuan, but looking at her serious expression, it didn't look like a joke.

When the woman next to her heard this, she didn't seem to believe it, and said repeatedly: "Eldest sister, the price I shouted out is 30,000 yuan, are you sure you want to buy it?" ”

"I heard you right, 30,000 is 30,000."

As soon as the old woman said this, the person who wanted to make a counteroffer let out a mocking laugh unhappily, "I said Sister Chen, do you dare to say buy it if you have 30,000 yuan?" ”

The old woman snorted coldly, walked out of the crowd, and grabbed Ye Ning's hand with one hand, "Let's go, go to my house to get the money." ”

Ye Ning was startled by the stranger's sudden holding of her hand, and hurriedly broke free and walked to the woman.

The trafficker woman seemed unusually calm, took Ye Ning's hand, and followed the old woman.

When she arrived at the old woman's house, when the old woman came out of the back room, she took out a handbag and handed it to the trafficker woman, the woman opened it, smiled and narrowed her eyes, "It's still the eldest sister, you are happy, then that's it, this girl is yours." ”

Ye Ning was anxious when she heard this, grabbed the woman's arm, and flattered her for a while, "Eldest sister, how can you say that we have been together for two or three days, and I am so obedient, we have feelings even if we have no feelings, are you going to sell me so soon and not stay for a few days?" ”

The woman smiled without smiling, "If I don't sell you, I can't afford to feed such a big living person as you." ”

The old woman glanced at Ye Ning, and when she retracted her gaze, she said to the woman: "My son won't come back until tomorrow, can you help me tie this girl to the kang?" ”

"That's nature," said the woman, instructing the middle-aged man beside her, "tie her up." ”

Ye Ning still wanted to defend herself, but before she could open her mouth, she was carried on her shoulders by the big man, she screamed in fright, and the next second she was tied to the old woman's kang with a rope by the big man.

After tying up the trafficker woman and the middle-aged man, they took 30,000 yuan and left happily.

When it was dark, Ye Ning saw the old woman who had just bought her, and the old woman was carrying a bowl of beige things in front of her.

Ye Ning remembered that when she was at the entrance of the village during the day, someone called her Sister Chen.

After thinking about it, she said calmly, "Aunt Chen, I was actually tricked here, can you kindly let me go, as long as you can let me go, no matter how much money it is, I am willing." ”

"Girl, we are poor here," the old woman sat beside her, unmoved by her conditions, and said lightly, "the poor cannot even marry a daughter-in-law, and can only be bought by buying, so we prefer a young and beautiful girl like you to money." ”

Ye Ning was tied up for a day, her hands and feet were numb, she hadn't eaten all day, her body was even weaker, she leaned on the corner of the wall, and barely made a sound, "But, but, I was forcibly tied here, I am reluctant to marry your son, do you think your son will be happy if he marries me?" ”

"After a long time, you will get used to it," the old woman said in an indifferent voice, "It's not for nothing that we ran like you in our village before, and we were beaten a few times when we were caught, and if you were afraid of the beating, you wouldn't dare to run again, if you want to run......"

The old woman stopped talking when she said this, of course Ye Ning could hear her warning words, she pursed her lips and didn't speak, and heard the old lady's voice come again, "Don't worry, my son is actually very good, he usually works outside the village, usually goes home once a week, tomorrow is Saturday, he just comes back, you see each other, maybe you will fall in love with my son at a glance." ”

Speaking of his son, the old woman's face looked much softer, "I have also bought a daughter-in-law for my son a few times before, but he didn't like it well, but as soon as I saw you this time, I felt that he would definitely take a fancy to you, so no matter how much it costs, I will buy you back." ”

When Ye Ning heard this, she laughed unconsciously, "Your son's requirements are quite high. ”

The old woman glanced at her coldly, "I know that you are a girl from a rich family who looks down on us rural people, but now that you have come to us, I advise you to forget your previous life as soon as possible, there are no less than fifty girls who have been sold to us, some obediently accept their fate and stay obediently, and some are disobedient and flee without accepting their fate, but after all these years, there has never been a survivor who escaped." ”

When the old woman finished speaking, she picked up the bowl of beige beside her and asked her, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Ye Ning glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, "What is this?" ”

I really look at it, and I don't have any appetite at all......

"Brown rice," the old woman seemed to see her thoughts, and poured cold water on her constantly, "if you don't eat it, you will be hungry, and there will always be a time when you will eat everything when you are hungry." ”

With that, she put the bowl of brown rice aside, got up and walked out.

She was the only one left in the dark house.

Ye Ning looked out of the window in a daze, looking at the moon outside, thinking about what happened to her, she suddenly laughed, laughed and laughed, and laughed out of tears.

………………

Ruan Yebai has not returned to Ruan's house since he turned his face with the old lady that day.

On the same day, he lived in the duplex community in the city center, and when he came out of the company in the evening, he went straight back to the community.

The lights were not turned on, and with the little light that came in from the window, he walked barefoot to the sofa and sat down tiredly.

The long finger pressed the center of the eyebrow.

In the past few days since Ye Ning disappeared, he was in a particularly bad state, and the whole person seemed to be by the fire at any time.

It's been a few days, and there hasn't been any news from Ye Ning, he is really impatient, and he can't wait to find it himself.

Thinking irritably, the phone suddenly rang, it was Assistant Cheng's phone, and he picked it up without thinking.

Assistant Cheng's voice was a little excited, "Mr. Ruan, there is a gas station here in Taoyuan District, saying that there was a car coming from Lincheng on August 16, he said that it was a little suspicious, we haven't asked about the specifics, and I'm not sure if it is related to Miss Ye's disappearance." ”

Ruan Yebai subconsciously glanced at his watch, and instructed Assistant Cheng on the phone, "You send someone to guard, I'm afraid that someone will get the news to destroy the scene, you drive over now, and we'll go over now." ”

Assistant Cheng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect it, "You want to go too?" ”

He didn't want to open his mouth, and his voice sounded very firm, "Yes." ”

Not long after Assistant Cheng hung up the phone, he rushed to Ruan Yebai's residence, and the two of them rushed all night, and arrived at their destination at more than six o'clock the next day.

The bodyguards led him to the house where the young man who told them the news lived.

When asked about what happened that day, the young man said while recalling: "When I refueled the car in the city that day, there was a very slight scream in the trunk, and it felt like someone was locked in the trunk and was gagged. ”

Ruan Yebai pursed his lips and asked, "Do you remember what the driver looks like?" ”

The young man said directly: "It's very tough, I feel like a thug, there are two people in the car, both of them are this type of men." ”

Assistant Cheng on the side suddenly interjected and asked, "Are you sure it's Lincheng's car?" ”

The young man nodded, "I remember very clearly, when they left, I also deliberately glanced at the license plate number, and it was right to open my mouth." ”

Ruan Yebai's eyes narrowed, "What is the license plate number, can you remember?" ”

The young man thought for a long time before he stumbled and said, "It seems to be, Pro A96511." ”

That's pretty much it, but I'm not sure, if you're not in a hurry, wait for our store manager to come, and discuss with him and let him put the day's monitoring to confirm.

Assistant Cheng looked at him inquiringly, Ruan Yebai nodded, and Assistant Cheng opened his mouth directly, "Okay, let's wait." Assistant Cheng said, took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to the young man, "This is a thank you gift, thank you very much for your help." ”

When the young man saw the bank card that Assistant Cheng stretched out, he hurriedly pushed it out, "No, no, I just told a few words of truth." ”

Ruan Yebai heard the sound and opened his mouth quietly, "This is what you deserve, take it." ”

After Ruan Yebai saw the license plate number and the appearance of the bodyguard clearly from the surveillance, he didn't dare to delay for a minute and directly called the Forest Bureau, "Forest Bureau, help me contact the police station here in Taoyuan, and call out the driving direction of A96511, I don't know how much Ye Ning can last, so please hurry up." ”

………………

Ye Ning woke up from the nightmare, and when she woke up, she found that she was tied up like this last night, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

It felt like she had already died once, and her hands and feet were so numb that she could even feel the swelling of the blood no longer flowing, and she couldn't move uncomfortably.

The door of the trance room was opened from the outside, and the old woman's voice came in, "I bought this girl for 30,000 yuan, don't worry, my mother guarantees that you will like it at this time." ”

Listening to her words, Ye Ning followed her line of sight and saw a burly male body walking slowly towards her.

She couldn't see the man's face clearly for a while, and then she saw the man stretch out his big hand and pull away the long hair that blocked her face.

A look of amazement flashed in the man's eyes, and in the next second, she was helped up by the man.

"Well, I said you must like it, right?"

In his ears, it was the old woman's smug voice, the man turned his head to look at his mother, and a touch of shyness flashed on his rough face, "Mother, you go out first, I want to talk to her alone for a while." ”

The old woman was naturally happy to see that her son liked it, and left this sentence before leaving: "If you see it, you can quickly handle the happy event, and hurry up to give birth to a grandson for your mother." ”

There were finally two people left in the room, the man and Ye Ning.

The man stared at her for a long time without speaking, Ye Ning was really uncomfortable being tied up by a rope, and said to the man: "You are a big man, don't you run away, will I run?" Nen can't loosen the tie for me first, and if I continue to tie it like this, I will die sooner or later. ”

When the man heard Ye Ning say this, he immediately leaned over and untied the rope.

The rope was loosened, and the red marks on Ye Ning's delicate hands and feet that were strangled by the rope were all worn out by the rope, and the wrists and ankles looked swollen, looking extremely hideous.

The man wanted to check her wounds, but Ye Ning resisted in her heart, and shrank back without thinking.

"Don't be afraid," the man whispered softly to reassure her, "I'm a good person, and I won't touch you until we get married." ”

Ye Ning was obviously relieved when she heard him say this, she gently moved her feet, which were already swollen to the point of not working, and a man's voice came from above her head again, "What's your name." ”

Ye Ning paused before saying, "Ye Ning." ”

"Ye Ning......" The man chewed these words carefully, and smiled at the end, "The name is so good, Ye Ning, my name is Wang Changming, if you want, just call me Changming in the future." ”

Ye Ning nodded and called him, "Changming." ”

Wang Changming heard her call, nodded happily, and just as he was about to speak, the woman who listened to it said weakly, "Your mother was hungry for me all day yesterday, and I'm very hungry now, can you find me some food first, and then talk to you when I'm full?" ”

Ye Ning didn't expect Wang Changming to listen to her like this, and as soon as she finished speaking, she got up and walked out.

After a while, he walked in, bowl of soup in his hand.

He looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, "Drink, this is the chicken soup my mother cooked for me." ”

Ye Ning usually doesn't like this kind of greasy food, but she is really hungry at this time, so she doesn't want to pour the chicken soup into her mouth.

A whole bowl of hot soup was put into the stomach, and the body instantly felt a lot more comfortable.

"Where are you from?"

Ye Ning raised his eyes to look at the man who spoke, and responded quietly, "Lincheng." ”

Wang Changming looked at her with a smile on his face, "Well, Lincheng is a good place, I heard that the people there are very rich, but don't worry, marry me I will make you happy, and I will work hard to earn money so that you can live a good life." ”

Ye Ning looked at the man, and her expressionless face looked very light, "Changming, do you think the two of us are a good match?" ”

Hearing Ye Ning's words, Wang Changming's eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes suddenly, "I know, I'm not worthy of you." ”

"Changming, there is no one in the world of love who is not worthy of anyone, only suitable and inappropriate." She said word by word, "Although I have never been married, but I have been pregnant and have lost a child, if you say that you are not worthy, only I am not worthy of your share, please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to belittle you." ”

Wang Changming suddenly became happy again when he heard her say this, "Don't worry, I don't care about these ......"

Ye Ning sighed helplessly, "I see that you look like a good person, why do you want to marry a wife in this way?" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Changming looked melancholy, "Our village is very poor, and no one wants to marry it, so in order to continue the incense, we can only come up with such a way." ”

Ye Ning shook his head, "But this is illegal, do you know?" ”

"We are such a remote mountain village, it is like we have been abandoned, where is there anyone who cares about us."

Ye Ning didn't give up, "Changming, can you let me go?"

Who would have thought that Wang Changming, who was originally very kind, suddenly cooled his eyes after hearing her speak like this, "I'll discuss it with my mother today, and we'll handle the family affairs in the next two days." ”

Ye Ning's eyes widened, watching the man pick up the rope on the side and come directly towards her, she hurriedly retreated, "Changming, you see that my hands and feet are swollen, do you still want to tie me?" ”

The man grabbed her wrist and said expressionlessly, "I won't tie my hands and feet this time." ”

As he spoke, he passed the rope directly through Ye Ning's back, and circled around and tied her up.

Ye Ning smiled bitterly, thinking that she had seen hope, but she was tied tighter and tighter, and the more she was tied, the more she couldn't move.

After tying it up, Wang Changming glanced at her and retracted his gaze expressionlessly, "You bear with it for two days, and after two days we get married, I won't tie you up again." ”

Ye Ning was helpless, "I can't walk a few steps with swollen hands and feet, where can I still run away, why do you want to tie me up?" ”

"Just in case."

After he said these words, he strode out.

After Ye Ning was tied up like this for another two days, Wang Changming told her that today was their wedding.

Ye Ning no longer had the strength to respond to him, and when she heard his words, she just closed her eyes and didn't speak.

After Wang Changming finished speaking, he left, and after a while, four or five people came in her room, and people came in laughing and laughing.

She was untied, and a woman's voice sounded in her ears, "This old Wang family is really blessed, look at this beautiful girl." ”

Ye Ning opened her eyes and watched as they changed her clothes into a red dress for her.

She had no strength to struggle, and let them make a fuss.

After getting all this done, Wang Changming walked in from the outside and looked at her with low eyes, "Can you still walk?" ”

Ye Ning looked at her swollen ankle and let out a long breath, "I'll try it." ”

As she spoke, she got off their kang and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she couldn't help but scream, and before she could fall down, she was beaten and hugged by Wang Changming, "I'll take you away." ”

While speaking, she had been carried out of the room by Wang Changming and came to the courtyard.

At this time, Wang Changming's house was full of people, and when he saw the two of them coming out, all eyes looked towards them.

Ye Ning looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but smile, "Changming, that's how you have a wedding here?" ”

"Yes," Wang Changming responded to her, "our village is poor, and all the money is spent on buying a daughter-in-law." ”

Seeing that Ye Ning no longer spoke, Wang Changming hugged her to the chairman where the two of them were, and the wedding began in a lively voice......

Ye Ning couldn't move when she was lying on the table, and she heard a panicked male voice getting closer and closer from outside, "Oh no, no, the police are coming." Quick, Changming Niang, hide your daughter-in-law first, and everyone hurry up and help Changming's eight things be cleaned up. ”

She only had time to raise her eyes, but she was picked up by Wang Changming and walked into the house.

The people of this village were really habitual offenders, tied her up and gagged her, and stuffed her directly into a wooden box, and after the wooden box was covered, she was carried to an unknown place.

Originally, when she heard that the police were coming, she had hope in her heart, but seeing their neat habitual methods, her whole heart sank, and she couldn't move after a few moves, and she lay in a little desperate.

After a while, there was a commotion outside, and some villagers protested, "The police are amazing, the police can break into people's homes at will!" ”

A man's voice sounded, and the words that came out of the voice should be that of the police, "Someone has reported that your village is trafficking in human beings." ”

The man refused to show weakness and pushed back, "Can someone report it and investigate it casually?" Then I'm going to report you for embezzlement and bribery, can I also check your bottom! ”

A familiar low laugh sounded, and after hearing it, Ye Ning's sinking heart rose suddenly, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, listening to the man's low and slow voice pouring out unhurriedly, "Since you don't have it, what's the matter with so many banquets?" ”

"Lao Wang's family invites guests to dinner, invites guests to dinner, is it still illegal?"

His low and lazy voice sounded again, and he asked contemptuously: "Look at the happy words in the house, is it a marriage?" ”

"Yes, what if it's a marriage, it doesn't mean anything!" That man's confidence was obviously insufficient.

I only listened to Ruan Yebai's aggressive response, "Since it is a happy event, I saw the groom, what about the bride?" Why don't you see the bride? ”

The courtyard suddenly fell silent and became silent.

"Search for me!"

After an unfamiliar order, a number of people suddenly poured into the room.

Ye Ning's heart was in her throat, and she only hoped that they would find her soon, but after a long time, the room seemed to be flooded through, and no one found the box she was in.

How could you not find a box that could hold a large living person......

Ye Ning wanted to cry anxiously, and wanted to raise her foot to kick the box, but the strength of her binding did not allow her to lift her foot at all.

After a long while, I only heard an unfamiliar voice, and explained to Ruan Yebai, "Ruan Shao, I searched through the house, and I couldn't find ......."

Ruan Yebai's voice didn't sound very good, and he felt like he was about to explode, "Keep looking, I just tested the temperature of the water in their quilt, and it was still warm, it was impossible for them to take a big living person out in such a short period of time, it must be at home, continue to look for it." ”

Ruan Yebai's words made her sinking heart suddenly rise again.

Time passed little by little, she was still not found, outside, Ruan Yebai's impatient voice sounded again, "I'll give you another chance, where is the woman you bought back hidden by you, hand her over if you know each other, otherwise you believe it or not, I want your dog life!" ”

Then, Wang Changming's voice said disdainfully, "Rich man...... Murder without the death penalty? ”

"I don't know if a rich person is sentenced for murder," Ruan Yebai's voice became lower and tighter, "I only know that I, Ruan Yebai, want to kill you, and no one can fuck me!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud 'bang', mixed with the screams of men, and then the frightened cries of the crowd.

Ye Ning's eyes widened, in disbelief.

It was gunshots, it's gunshots......

Did Ruan Yebai really kill Wang Changming?

Before she could think about it, she remembered an angry rebuke in her ears, "Aunt Chen, you still don't say it!" If your son dies, what's the use of having a daughter-in-law? ”

Aunt Chen seemed to be scared silly, and she didn't make a sound for a long time.

After a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps walked in again, and she held her breath, and the box was opened in the next second.

Ye Ning raised her eyes, and saw the familiar handsome face at a glance, she looked into his extremely dark eyes, watching the little change in his eyes, from shock to distress and anger again.

Her eyes were hot, and in an instant, tears slipped down the corners of her eyes!
