Chapter 162 Returning to the Village
Chapter 162 Returning to the Village
Upon hearing that there were others locked up in the village like them, Bai Hua decided to rescue them. So she parked the car in a secluded spot and activated the disguise mode.
Princess Mingyue and Lin Liuyi did not quite approve of what Bai Hua did.
“You have no idea which people in the village were trafficked, and you're all alone and not strong enough. I think you should escape as soon as possible, go to the police station, and ask the government for help!”
“Princess Mingyue is right. And once you leave the mountains, don’t go to the local police station. There’s definitely someone protecting them in that kind of village. Huahua, your safety is more important! Didn’t you say you wanted to go home?” Lin Liuyi also advised her.
Bai Hua shook her head firmly. "It will be too late if we wait for the police. Every minute that passes means another sister could suffer. I want to go home, but I hope I'm not the only one going home. I may be weak on my own, but I have you all. I'm not afraid!"
Bai Hua was so determined, and everyone was worried that there might be other girls in the village who had suffered the same fate as Bai Hua and her companion, so in the end everyone decided to support her.
Princess Mingyue sighed helplessly, "Since that's the case, wait here. I'll send you some more clothes and weapons. As for the gene serum, I'll give you some too. It's very painful, so you'll have to explain it to them later."
The others quietly sent her double the supplies they had just received, and even Peng Shanshan gave her more carts, which reduced her stockpile by more than half.
The invisibility cloak is too valuable, so this time Avalin gave us many invisibility rings. You can become invisible by touching it and silently chanting, but the downside is that it only lasts for one day.
Wu Qingqiu watched as a pile of things appeared in front of the two of them. "Did the gods give these to us?"
"Yes, they were given to us by the gods. Eat something first, and I'll teach you how to use them later."
Wu Qingqiu couldn't help but nod. When Bai Hua said he was going to save the others, she was a little worried about how they could save the two of them alone.
However, she had no right to react, because she was the one who was saved by the other party. If Bai Hua hadn't saved her back then, her fate certainly wouldn't have been good either.
But now, looking at these things, she felt confident about the rescue operation to come.
After she ate, Bai Hua asked her if she wanted to take the gene serum, and she said it was very painful.
"Will it make my leg better? Will it be more painful than what I've been through?"
Wu Qingqiu knew very well that although the medicine was bitter, it couldn't compare to what she had gone through in the past month. She had to drink it, and she also wanted to become stronger. She never wanted to be so weak again, so weak that she was treated like a commodity to be bought and sold, or treated like a pig or a dog.
She gritted her teeth and drank the medicine, enduring the pain of cell tearing and remodeling, but none of this could overcome her determination to become strong.
"My foot is really healed, and I have great strength again!" Wu Qingqiu couldn't help but cry with excitement.
After they finished resting, the two decided to go to the vicinity of the village to observe the situation after dawn.
The others said they couldn't keep an eye on her all the time and urged Bai Hua to be very careful.
After daybreak, the two finished packing and cautiously approached the village.
As dawn broke, villagers began to come out to work in the fields; there were both men and women, but the men made up the majority.
At this time, the men in the fields were still chatting and had no idea that two people were missing yesterday.
"Why didn't Old Liu go to the fields today? Did he go too far yesterday? He's so old, he really got a good deal. Why am I not so lucky to find a woman and even take her in!"
"Old Tian, you must be dreaming. There aren't that many people picking them up. Besides, don't you already have a wife?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it. It's been so long and she still can't give birth to a boy. I'm going to give her another beating when we get back. All that money has been wasted!" The man called Old Tian said angrily.
"Hey, is Old Wang's kid still not disciplined? If you ask me, he should be beaten hard until he submits. But Old Wang is having a good time, he's actually preparing to take matters into his own hands. Wait, Old Wang isn't here either, and I haven't heard his kid calling for help. It's kind of strange."
"If you ask me, maybe Lao Wang has already succeeded, hehe."
The men in the fields were still joking with each other, while the women remained silent and worked diligently.
Bai Hua and his companion decided to sneak into the village to investigate while the men were out.
"Be very careful, make sure you wear the invisibility ring."
The two split up and began their search from both sides of the village.
Fortunately, the first house Bai Hua entered was the house of Old Tian, the first person to speak to him.
A woman was cleaning the house, then feeding the chickens and pigs, washing clothes in the yard, and after finishing all that, she picked up a carrying pole as if she was going to fetch water.
Bai Hua observed for a while and felt that this woman also seemed to have been trafficked, but she didn't know if she was willing to leave.
No matter what, we should ask.
"Were you trafficked here? Do you still want to leave?" It has to be said that Bai Hua's move was quite audacious. If she guessed wrong, this woman might shout it to the whole village.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Bai Hua didn't want to let it go, but fortunately she was still wearing an invisibility cloak.
"Who? Who's speaking!" The woman was startled and dropped the carrying pole.
Are you still willing to leave here?
"Leave? Am I even capable of that?" The woman gave a self-deprecating laugh. Could she really leave in her current state?
"You can do it if you want to."
"Of course I want to. This is all mountains; without someone familiar with the area to guide you, you can't get out at all. Whoever you are, you'd better run. The people in this village are all bad." The woman said, then picked up the carrying pole to continue fetching water.
Bai Hua removed his cloak and revealed himself after hearing the woman's cold words.
"Are you a human or a ghost? No, it doesn't matter whether you're a human or a ghost. Girl, listen to my advice, run! Don't worry, I'll pretend I didn't see you today." The woman was a little scared at first, but then she started to persuade her again.
"I will leave, but I want to take you all with me."
“I can’t leave. Look at these mountains around us. They look incredibly lush and green during the day, but at night they look like monsters that devour people.” The woman sighed, clearly not believing Bai Hua.
"Do you know the girl who was tied up at the village entrance? I've already rescued her, and now she and I are splitting up to come to the village to rescue you." Bai Hua thought for a moment and then explained Wu Qingqiu's situation.
"Impossible, she was chained up, and even though she ran away, no one from the Wang family came out to chase after her." The woman was even more skeptical.
