Chapter 446: Defenseless
With just one glance, Ruan Yu withdrew his gaze and forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart.
It seems that her guess was not wrong.
Retracting her thoughts, Ruan Yu pretended to be flat and chatted with the old lady. The old man was too old to stay up late, and after chatting for a while, he couldn't hold back and went to sleep.
Seeing that she had the intention of driving away guests, Ruan Yu hurriedly spoke: "Auntie, you look at it in the middle of the night, there is no light outside, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, can you let us stay here for a night?" ”
The old lady flatly refused, "It's not that I don't want to stay, my family is small, and I don't have a place to live!" ”
"We'll just squint in the hall." Ruan Yu motioned for Cheng Fei to take out something, stuffed it into the old lady's hand, and said with a smile, "Auntie, this is our accommodation fee for tonight, you see." ”
When the old lady saw a large handful of banknotes in her hand, her eyes straightened, and she hurriedly said, "Okay, you guys can live!" ”
She stuffed the banknotes into her pocket, pulled the osmanthus into the bedroom, and chattered, "I tell you, don't think about asking for help, you are a rich mother, think about your son!" ”
Osmanthus trembled, and looked at Ruan Yu with patience the moment she closed the door.
The hall was silent, and Cheng Fei lowered his voice and said, "What should Mr. Ruan do next?" ”
Ruan Yu frowned, "Observe and observe first, if we want to rescue them, it's not as easy as we thought." ”
The two had planned to find all the trafficked women and take them away. But seeing the situation of osmanthus, she is smarter, and she doesn't look like someone who will be tripped up by a child. He was abducted and trafficked here for six or seven years, but he still hasn't escaped.
"I observe the terrain here on the road, surrounded by mountains, and I can't walk out on two legs." Ruan Yu groaned, "Looking at the old lady's performance, she is not afraid that we know that the osmanthus was abducted and trafficked." ”
With such fearlessness, perhaps someone wanted to rescue them a long time ago, but failed.
Cheng Fei thought for a while, "I have seen a lot of news before, many villages abduct and sell women, and all the villagers are murderers. If the woman tried to escape, or someone helped them escape, the villagers would unite and stop them from going out. ”
He frowned and continued: "Moreover, this kind of local culture is backward, and the villagers do not understand the law. The law does not blame the public, so the relevant personnel are unwilling to take care of this kind of thing, and will even persuade those women to go back. ”
"Excessive!" Ruan Yu said coldly, "I think although it is remote, there are also many college students. They know it's illegal to trade in human beings, so why do they do it? ”
"If they don't, they don't have a mother." Cheng Fei sighed, "And there are many college students who have become accomplices. ”
Ruan Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "It seems that we have to contact Huai Jin and tell the person in charge of Yun Province about the situation here." ”
"And." She rubbed her temples, "Inform the photographer tomorrow and let him interview the kids, especially the kids on the list." ”
Ruan Yu didn't want to take advantage of the children, but this matter was really bad, and she could only say "sorry" in her heart.
The two tossed until midnight, and now they are both sleepy. After discussing it, they each sat in the corner of the wall, squinting slightly.
In the middle of the night, the door of the hall was pushed open a small gap, and a rough hand reached in, holding a watering can-like thing in his hand, and held it down and sprayed it several times in succession.
This faint voice was particularly obvious in the silent night, Cheng Fei opened his eyes suddenly, got up to look at the door, and strode over, "Who?" ”
He pushed the door open and grabbed the old lady who wanted to run away with one hand.
Although the old lady was caught, she did not panic at all. She shook the watering can and squirted a few more times.
Ruan Yu was awakened, and when she saw the situation in front of her, a bad premonition rose in her heart. Immediately rushed up to grab the watering can, and asked in a cold voice, "What is this?" ”
"This is water, water with a drug!" The old lady smiled proudly and looked at Ruan Yu with a pair of triangular eyes, "I said female doll, it's not good for you to come here, you want to come to our Yanlin Village." There is a rule in my village that all the women who come here are from the village. ”
Seeing her so arrogant, Ruan Yu's heart jumped suddenly.
Sure enough, the next Cheng Fei's hand paused and hung down weakly. He staggered a few steps, turned his head to look at Ruan Yu, and barely spat out a few words in his throat.
"Mr. Ruan, run!"
Ruan Yu didn't dare to delay for a moment, turned around and ran. Unexpectedly, she stopped and fell to the ground limply.
The old lady got up from the ground and looked at her condescendingly, as if she were looking at a dying prey.
Then, the bedroom door opened again, and Osmanthus walked out silently with two arm-thick hemp ropes in her hands, her eyes lowered.
Ruan Yu was shocked and annoyed, "You! ”
Osmanthus squatted down, skillfully tied up the two, and threw them in the gloomy warehouse according to the old lady's orders.
Cheng Fei has a lot of medicine, and now he has fallen into a coma. Although Ruan Yu was dizzy, she could barely stay awake. She looked at the thin back of Osmanthus, and a trace of sadness rose in her heart.
"Why do you do this when you know we're here to save you?"
Osmanthus paused, turned around abruptly, and said in a hoarse voice, "If you can't get out, no matter what you do, it's all in vain." ”
"How do you know if you don't try?!"
Osmanthus sneered, "I used to think the same way, but every time my hope will be disappointed." She looked at Ruan Yu with a hint of resentment hidden in her eyes, "You people have always been heroes in your mouth." As long as the villagers make a fuss and stop us, you will throw us down! You can go, exactly what awaits us! ”
She believed the words of the outsiders and fled with them. But the villagers rushed up to stop them, threw things at them, and the outsiders couldn't stand it and just debated a few times, and finally threw them down.
Osmanthus will always remember that after the first time she asked for help and escaped to no avail, the old lady beat her with a stick thick on her thighs, and kept chaining her, starving her for three days!
If it weren't for her fate, if it weren't for her kneeling and kowtowing and begging for mercy, if it weren't for the old lady who was afraid that the child would have lost her mother, she would have died a long time ago!
Since then, she has never dared to trust outsiders. Whenever she saw other abducted women believing the words of outsiders and running away with them full of hope, Osmanthus would always sneer.
- Wait, they'll give up.
Sure enough, every time it was not what she expected.
Ruan Yu was stunned, hooked her lips coldly, "So you're making a show to hurt me?" ”
"I have no choice but to do this!" Osmanthus was a little flustered, "If you don't listen to them, the one who suffers is me." She bit her lip, as if comforting herself, "You've brought so many people with you, they know you're gone, and they're going to look for you everywhere." Rest assured, it won't be long before your people will find you. ”
With that, she ran away.
Ruan Yu leaned against the wall wearily, self-deprecatingly hooking the corners of her mouth.
"Mr. Ruan." Cheng Fei's voice suddenly sounded.
Ruan Yu turned around, "You're not unconscious?" ”
"I'm pretending." Cheng Fei said, "I noticed it at the time, so I held my breath. He moved his wrist, "This medicine is very powerful, and they are also very skilled in tying hemp rope, we are in big trouble this time." ”
