beFor a moment, I was so angry that I forgot to be afraid.I also forgot that there was a barrier here, and I forgot something important—I didn't report to Jiang Qiyun about my arrival at the Great Wit...A strange man asked me my name

I wouldn't be stupid enough to say my full name. I gave a random answer: "My name is Yao Mei."

He was taken aback. Such a rustic and dialect-filled nickname actually made him laugh!

This young and gloomy weirdo actually smiled

His thin lips curled slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

I thought I had touched some soft memory in his heart, and was about to ask him what he planned to do next. Who knew he'd say coldly, "Little sister, elder sister, they are all people who betrayed me..."

Oh man! Please don't hold a grudge against me for this, I'm innocent.

"Cut the chatter... they're taking us out. My restraints will be unlocked, but I expect my limbs to still be bound. Be clever."

"Huh How am I supposed to be clever!" I nervously twisted my hands: "I don't have any weapons on me. If I'm going to run away, I can't just fight people with my bare hands, can I That would be suicide..."

" ... No need, just improvise and cooperate with me. If you're quick-witted, you might find a chance to escape. Don't be a fool waiting for me to save you; I don't have the time."

"I just helped you, and now you're tearing down the bridge Is that right" I looked at him helplessly.

He frowned deeply and said, “I'm barely holding on myself right now. Taking you along is purely out of gratitude, don't be ungrateful and hold me back! If you become a burden, I'll leave you behind—I still haven't avenged myself against that old Dragon King.”

"I, I'll try my best..." I pouted, nodding with a look of grievance.

Voices outside grew closer. This room, hidden in a concealed alcove on the mezzanine floor, was where they sought refuge from the venomous monster that stalked them. Before each visit, they would open the ventilation shaft to air out the space, for fear of its poisonous touch.

When the ventilation grate on the wall was opened, I immediately fell to the ground and pretended to be unconscious. The salty smell of the sea breeze reached my nostrils. After a while, I heard the sound of the lock being opened.

Are they so careful

This is not good, the chance of escape is even less.

I couldn't understand what the newcomer said, and the two guards watching me also struggled to comprehend. The three of us mumbled incomprehensibly for a while. The handover person grew impatient and switched to a different dialect of Mandarin, saying: "What are you doing, acting so lifeless How am I supposed to walk with you like this If we run into the police, how am I going to… explain… explain…"

This accent... is it meant to be funny

"Big brother, this man is very dangerous. We can't let him go free. I heard the big boss personally poisoned him and then blocked his mobility, locking him to the wall, starving him to deplete his strength before it was safe. Otherwise, he's very capable and if he escaped, what would we do" A guard explained.

"You two cowards don't have any guts! This guy looks so weak, is he impressive Shoot him and see how impressive he is!" the newcomer said arrogantly.

It's over, the other side has a gun.

"No, no, no, big brother, that won't do. These two are very useful. We were ordered to deliver them safe and sound, all limbs intact. At most, we can just let them get so hungry they can't move, but we can't let them be seriously injured!"

"Please don't get rough, these two need to be safely returned to Bihai Garden. Otherwise, we'll all end up— ugh…"

“Shut up! You idiot! Can you even speak”

What would it become My ears twitched softly, to become a human stick Is it that harsh

I couldn't help but tremble, luckily it was dark here and they couldn't see me. Soon, they thought the ventilation was enough, so they put on their gas masks and walked in.

One guard unlocked the door for the weirdo, and one guard reached out to grab my arm.

"Should we tie this woman up"

"No need! (I don't need it!) Although I have a way to travel overland, I still have to go through border control! Routine checks are still necessary. If these two are too miserable, it will cause trouble!"

"...But this man is already pretty miserable, he's covered in blood."

"Change your clothes! Quickly, it's better to walk when it's dark!"

I was crammed into the backseat like a ragdoll.

This is a strange car. It has two rows of seats in the front and an open cargo box in the back.

A bunch of camping supplies were piled up inside the cargo hold, and I was crammed in there with that weirdo.

"Hey, big brother, aren't you worried about the safety of these two"

"I have the medicine! It will make them obedient."

With a loud "bang!", the car door slammed shut.

It was pitch black all around. On this dilapidated pier, only our ship was docked. The wind outside howled like ghosts, sending shivers down my spine.

...In the car... I smelled blood—the young man beside me, his collarbone was scraped raw by a hook, flesh and bone mangled. He didn't make a sound, his breathing barely fluctuated. It chilled me to the bone.

He was beside me, silent as a corpse.

I really want to cry. How come there are so many bad people outside my home They all look fierce and menacing... Why hasn't Mu Wanchen come to save me yet Was I deported

Those who are not of my tribe have different beliefs. In this completely unfamiliar environment, the gods, ghosts, and demons that exist in our concepts have lost their followers' power. How can they still use their supernatural powers to save people from fire and water

When I was lost in thought, the passenger door opened and a burly man got in. He impatiently shouted, "Let's go, let's go! Don't waste time!"

The guy with the weird accent grumbled and sat in the driver's seat: "It wasn't me wasting time! It's these two punks, they don't trust me, such a pain!"

"Have you fed him the medicine" The burly man turned to look at us.

I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be unconscious. The young man opposite me was already in a state of apparent death.

“Feed it again when it wakes up! Now feed it an egg, an egg!” A man with a strange accent slammed on the gas pedal. The old beat-up car sped onto the dirt road by the shore.

This little girl has nice, long hair. Why not take her to sell eggs She'd be worth a lot of money, right

There's an order, deliver it to Bihaishan Villa within 24 hours... With time so tight, they still haggle!

"Haha, I'm just selling an egg!"

"Haha..."

I really want to kill these two bastards.

But I'm now shrinking back, afraid to move. This strange man next to me is completely silent, playing dead so well... does he even want to run away Could he be even more cowardly than me

The car stopped at the gas station for a moment, and a burly man got out to retrieve two bottles of alcohol. He sat in the passenger seat and started drinking.

Here in the remote countryside, there are no proper roads. The journey is bumpy and I feel car sick and start to vomit.

I can't pretend anymore.

The burly man turned around, with a smell of alcohol on him, and grinned at me. "Hey little girl, you're awake Are you hungry Want some medicine"

I instinctively flinched and shook my head, rejecting the bizarre proposition.

The burly man, emboldened by alcohol, said to the "big brother" in the driver's seat: “When we cross the border, this little girl has to get off."

"Big brother frowned and cursed, "Damn it! Hurry up! Do you know we're in a hurry!" Play after finishing things!"

The burly man roared, "It wasn't me! You think borders are just crossed because you say so! That officer is notorious for his love of women! He saw such a little girl here, he'd definitely find an excuse to detain us, wasting even more time! It's better to just send the girl off, hurry up and finish playing, then get on our way! Understand Don't be stupid!"

What, what!shape of a mountain is usually like a big tent opening up, a blossoming flower canopy, or a treasure canopy at the top. It could also have three platforms, a jade pillow, a brocade screen, etc. These...
