Chapter 120： Take them away?

Chen Xi and the two senior students pretended to be submissive and bowed to the people in Yao Village.

They suppressed their anger and grievances, swallowed all the pain and nausea, and dealt with the villagers in an attempt to lower their vigilance.

This low-key gesture greatly pleased the villagers. They thought that these girls could not escape and could be released.

But Wang Chuanzong, as a mastermind of trafficking, did not believe these girls.

Every woman who was taken to the mountains had to go through at least severe beatings and imprisonment, and it would take a year and a half before she completely succumbed because they could not find a chance to get out.

But what about Chen Xi and the others? Not long after arriving, he was only imprisoned for a few days, and he didn't even suffer any flesh injuries, so he just compromised like that?

He didn’t believe it, but he couldn’t win over the villagers.

Wang Chuanzong was making money, and the villagers were willing to take him home now, so he couldn't refuse anything, so he could only auction Chen Xi and the three of them.

But before they were taken away, he also specially reminded the people in the same village:

"I'm afraid they are not sincerely obedient. You still have to keep your eyes open, but don't give them a chance to escape. Otherwise, the village will be destroyed and you will never be able to find a wife again."

The villagers hurriedly agreed.

Yao Village has its own set of rules. Even if Chen Xi and the others are brought back, they seem to be free, but in fact they are still under surveillance.

All the people in the village, countless pairs of eyes, were staring at them.

But it doesn't matter, Chen Xi and the others never do unnecessary things, they only pull weeds outside every day. When asked, they just say that they are helping to do something, or they want to eat wild vegetables for a meal.

The villagers didn't know herbal medicine and couldn't guess what they were doing, but Wang Chuanzong guessed it.

After all, when he met Chen Xi, he knew that she was studying Chinese medicine—

This matter is related to whether he can continue to make a fortune on this road in the future, so his suspicion of Chen Xi and the others has never disappeared.

Including every woman brought from outside in this village, he is always vigilant.

After a while, one of Chen Xi’s senior students sacrificed her dignity and had a cowardly relationship with the man who bought her. Finally, she was fascinated by him and agreed to hold a wedding for her.

This is what she told people:

“In our city, when every couple gets married, they have to hold a wedding ceremony and invite relatives and friends to witness it, so that they can live a long and happy life and have children and grandchildren.”

"I sincerely live with you, so just fulfill my wish. Don't you want everyone's blessing?"

"Also, I see that other women in the village are always disobedient and want to run away all the time. They are too ignorant. If you hold a wedding with me, let them see how caring the men in the village are and how much they value us. Wait. Once they realize the benefits, they will definitely stop running away.”

The senior sister’s words deceived the man.

Men are all about saving face. How could he not be willing to see such a young and beautiful female student sincerely willing to follow him and even hold a wedding?

He wanted to let the whole village and even the neighboring village know how charming he was. Even the pretty girls from the city were conquered by him!

Catalyzed by various reasons, the wedding went smoothly.

 Chen Xi also knew that the wedding was the best time for them to take action, because then the entire Yao Village would gather together, and even relatives and friends from the next village would come.

As long as they take advantage of this day and drug them, they will have a chance to escape.

Wang Chuanzong, the trafficker leader, watched all this with cold eyes, watching their plan progress step by step, making them full of hope of escaping.

But just a few days before the wedding, Wang Chuanzong brought back another woman.

That woman has fair skin, smooth hair, and pretty features. She looks like a college student in the city.

Wang Chuanzong introduced to the people of Yao Village:

"This is the wife I found for myself. She is also from the city. She wants to see our wedding, so I will bring her to see it."

"After a while, I will do it again for her on this scale." Everyone praised Wang Chuanzong for being so good. Not only was he able to get wives for the villagers, but he also had a female college student follow him. It seemed that he was not forced.

The time for Chen Xi’s senior sister’s wedding is getting closer and closer.

The three girls took the opportunity to get together and reviewed the plan they were about to implement over and over again—

“I’ve seen it. There are two wells in the village. Generally, villagers draw water from the well at the east end of the village because it’s close.”

“We store water in a pot in advance and put the medicine in the well water when the time comes. Whether they are drinking or cooking, they will need it.”

“The road down the mountain is very difficult. Not only is the road rugged, but it is also easy to be spotted by people from nearby villages. These people are all the same, and we won’t be able to walk by then.”

“We are walking from the deep mountains. I have followed my family members to the mountains to collect herbs since I was a child. I have some experience in identifying directions in the mountains and surviving in the wild. We will definitely be able to go out if we avoid the main road.”

“The only question now is, should we take anyone else with us?”

At this point in the discussion, the three girls were silent.

They have a greater chance of escaping if they go alone, but if they take other abducted girls with them, they will take a lot of risks.

It cannot be discovered by the villagers, and it is necessary to ensure that other people can keep the secret and not reveal the truth.

"Then let's...save?" Chen Xi's senior asked, "If you are sure to take others with you, then after I go back, I will find an excuse to make the man agree to bring them all together."

“What’s the excuse?” Chen Xi asked.

"Be a bridesmaid." The senior gritted her teeth, "Let's make up some customs. They don't know the wedding customs in the city anyway, and it's not what I tell them to do. I said we need a few young girls to be bridesmaids. Maybe."

There are no young girls in Yao Village.

Girls are thrown into the mountains to feed wild animals as soon as they are born, or they are drowned directly. There are almost no girls who grow up safely.

Even if there are one or two here and there, they are trained as slaves in the family. When they are fifteen or sixteen, they are married off in exchange for dowry.

This bridesmaid excuse works.

So, with Senior Sister Chen Xi’s pleas to be good and coquettish while holding back her nausea, the man who bought her agreed to let other girls come over to be her bridesmaids.

This included the girl that Wang Chuanzong brought over later and was said to be his wife.

A group of people gathered at senior Chen Xi’s man’s home. Senior sister assigned them tasks on the wedding day in a serious manner, and seemed to be really preparing for the wedding.

But in fact, the senior sister had already written a note, and took advantage of the moment of physical contact to stuff it into their hands to remind them of the plans for the wedding day.

It also says:

Those who want to leave should wait until the villagers are knocked down by the medicine and gather at the entrance of the village.

No one wants to leave. Everyone is abducted and has a bright future in the outside world with close family members.

So, when they saw this note, everyone chose to keep it secret and wanted to follow along.

They were looking forward to the wedding of Senior Sister Chen Xi.
