She struggled a few times. The rope was so tight that she couldn't get rid of it.
This house seems to be made of wood, there are many gaps, she suddenly saw a pair of eyes in the gap on the door, looking inside, scared her.
"I'm awake!" There was a sudden cry from the people outside.
After a while, a woman came in, about 40 years old, moved a small bench and sat down beside Tong mo. the woman took a small dustpan with some cloth and sewing inside. Without looking at Tong Mo, the woman began to do needlework.
Tong Mo probably guessed that this woman should be responsible for watching herself.
She cleared her throat, and the woman looked up at her, still speechless.
"Sister, can I have a drink of water?"
The woman raised her eyelids again and went out. There was a cursing voice outside the door. Then the woman came in with a bowl of water and handed it to Tong Mo's mouth.
Tong Mo looked at the bowl. The edge of the bowl was black. It seemed that it was a bowl that had been used for many years. It could not be brushed out.
"Drink, it's all like this here. For this bowl of water, I was scolded by people outside."
This woman speaks Mandarin!
Tong Mo drinks some water with her head hardened. The woman puts the bowl on the side and goes back to her small bench to do needlework.
"Elder sister, are you not from here?"
"Well." The woman answered casually.
"So you were abducted, too?" Tong Mo suddenly feels like he has seen a savior. Maybe this woman has the same experience as herself. Maybe she can let herself go.
The woman just sighed and didn't answer Tong Mo's question.
"Sister, let me go." Tong Mo begged carefully.
"You will die. If I let you go, I will be killed alive by people here. I have a son and a daughter in my family that I need to take care of. I don't want to die."
While doing needlework, the woman talked with Tong Mo coldly.
Tong Mo understood that this woman was probably abducted here. Because she had a baby, she was worried about it, so she didn't want to run away.
She's numb. She's committed.
But I can't admit my life!
Tong Mo knows that it's impossible to ask the woman to let her go. What he wants to do is to get close to her first.
"Elder sister, why do they want a woman to look at me?"
The woman is still without any expression, "today is your wedding day, the old Zhou's marriage, all the men go to work, had to send me to watch you."
"Marriage? It's too anxious, isn't it
"Are you in a hurry? On the first night when some people are brought here, everything is done. You are blessed. The old Zhou family has money, and the son finally marries his daughter-in-law. Naturally, it's going to be lively. "
The woman skillfully sewed a small dress.
"Don't you think it's very poor here? Since this family has money, it should not be impossible to marry a daughter-in-law? " Tong Mo was puzzled.
The woman looked at Tong Mo up and down, and then continued to lower her head to sew. "There's something wrong with the old Zhou's son."
Tong Mo is hit by ten thousand, she is going to marry a fool today!
She stiffly swallowed the spit in her mouth, "well, when I get married today, I have to change my clothes and hold a ceremony."
At this time, the woman is still holding a straight face. "In this place, marriage is a man's business. Women don't need to attend. You just wait for the men to drink enough wine and eat enough meat and go directly into the bridal chamber."
Tong Mo thought that the women's status here is really low enough. What's the age, and there is such a place!
"Sister, have you ever thought of running away?"
"I escaped eleven times, but all failed. Later, I became pregnant. My man was kind to me, and when I was pregnant, I didn't want to run away."
The woman said lightly, as if telling someone else's story, "I advise you not to run away."
As she spoke, the woman rolled up her sleeve. There were many scars on her arm, like centipedes crawling all over it!
"This is what I was beaten when I was away from home. They had many ways to torture women." it is so hard that you can't escape. Fortunately, this old Zhou's son's brain is not good enough. He's old and has a bad health. His wife died in the past few years. After several years of old Monday's death, he doesn't has the final say for this family.
Tong Mo really didn't know what to say.
"Do you have no family?"
Tong Mo mentioned these, the woman's eyes finally have a ray of light, and then immediately dim down, "all dead."
"How old is your child?"
When Tong Mo saw that the woman was making very small clothes, he guessed that the woman's children should not be big.
"The oldest daughter is twenty, and the youngest son is sixteen years old."
This age scared Tong Mo suddenly. I didn't expect that her children were so old.
The woman knew that Tong Mo was surprised and added, "I was only 18 when I was brought here."
"Then this dress..."
"It's for my grandson. My daughter is getting married next month. This dress will be used soon." Women are serious.
"Married at twenty? At the age of 20, we are still in college. It's the age of blooming. If you study in school and stay with friends, maybe you can still fall in love. At such a good age, your daughter will get married. "
Tong Mo couldn't help sighing, "what a pity."
The woman pauses.
Tong Mo knows that he talked about women's pain, "when you were abducted, you were only 18 years old. At that time, you should also be at school, right?"
"Just a freshman." The woman replied, "my hometown is from a village. I came to a big city for the first time. I wanted to work and study, but I was cheated..."
Tong Mo began to love this woman silently. She could have another life.
"Elder sister, even if your life is over, do you want your next generation to live the same life as you? Your daughter is only twenty years old. She should go to school. Don't you feel sorry for her getting married so early? "
Seeing that the woman was touched, Tong Mo said in a hurry, "if you let me go, I can save you and your two children! I'm an actor. I have a lot of contacts and money. I'm sure I can help you out! "
The woman looked at the needle and thread in her hand for a long time. She suddenly raised her head, "can you really save my two children?"
"I swear! As long as I can get out of here, I will make sure you and your two children leave here. I can also help them go to school and find jobs. "
"You let me see."
