Chapter 718
The house wasn’t big, it was tattered everywhere, even the blankets on the bed were torn.
But it was already much better than Aunt Fleur’s damp little mud hut.
When he entered the house, Mo Nan carefully closed the door and put his ear to it for a moment.
After making sure that there was no movement at all outside and that the two men had gone downstairs to rest, it was with relief that they pulled Jenny back inside and sat down on the bed.
“Come on, show me, how are you?This time really scared me to death, do you know how worried I was when I woke up and didn’t see you!”
Mo Nan said, and started pulling her up and down.
Jenny Jing let her measure her for a while, before stopping her hand and said, “I’m fine, but you, I heard that you hurt your leg, how is it?Is it serious?”
When she came in just now, she noticed that Mo Nan’s left leg was limping, and his pant leg was swollen with a good-sized bag.
Mo Nan said, “I’m fine, I just accidentally fell on the rocks when I came down and broke my leg, then with their help, I caught it myself, it’s nothing serious, I’ll be fine for a while.”
As soon as Jenny heard it, he knew it wouldn’t be a minor injury.
After all, it was a break, not a dislocation, as the saying goes, a hundred days of injury, and Mo Nan was just saying that because he didn’t want to worry himself.
She was silent, patted her hand and said, “Get well for now, the good news is that now we’re reunited, we’ll always find a way out back there as we go.”
Mo Nan nodded.
It was getting late, so instead of continuing to sit, they lay down together clothed.
This was the most relieved Jenny had been in the past few days.
It was as if, with Mo Nan by his side, even the most dangerous situations became less dangerous.
Next, they exchanged information with each other about their current situation.
Jenny and Mo Nan talked about the village they had stayed in before, and how things were in the village.
Mo Nan likewise spoke to her about this side of the story.
She just realized that this side of the village, called Ah Si Village, was much more isolated and remote than the Ah Fa Village where she had stayed before.
Not only is there no good transportation, there is little communication, and the people here rarely even go out all year long.
They are largely self-sufficient in whatever needs they have.
If they are actually not available in the village, they will also go to a grocery shop a few miles away and ask the shopkeeper there to go out and buy them.
If there are any valuable crops in the village, they will also get them there together and concentrate on selling them.
It was such a small, closed village, but in the short two days that Mo Nan stayed, he made an amazing discovery.
That is, this village generally has more men and fewer women.
Not only that, but only a portion of the women seem to be rather wooden and quiet.
She was long conscious when they rescued her from under the rocks.
So, being carried back along the way, she could clearly see the faces of the families in each house she passed.
They looked at her as if she were an alien monster.
That gaze with a hint of bewilderment, numbness, and even a hint of sympathy made Mo Nan feel uncomfortable.
But she couldn’t tell if these people would look at her like that.
For two days, she didn’t leave the house because her legs were bothering her.
But even if she didn’t go out, just Uncle Si and that wife of his were almost too much for her.
For no other reason than because the way these two look at people is really too uncomfortable.
Mo Nan often felt like they weren’t looking at themselves like they were someone else.
It was more like looking at the same valuable commodity, a…livestock.
She didn’t have a way to describe that look, but it just felt like it made her particularly uncomfortable and weird.
So, she had been waiting for Jenny to come over.
When two people get together, they can definitely negotiate a good outcome.
Only after Jenny listened did she realize that she wasn’t the only one who felt this way.
She had felt strange about that village when she was in Aflac before.
Although Aunt Fleur looked like she had saved her and was very kind, in reality, she had called a large group of children to watch her, beautifully, what with the fear of her running away.
Let’s not even talk about whether or not she’d run away, but a normal adult in a completely new and unfamiliar place just wouldn’t be able to just run around.
So, she always felt like she didn’t call those kids over because she cared about her.
Rather like a kind of surveillance.
However, because it was on someone’s territory, Jenny was too embarrassed to say it even if he was thinking that.
After all, that’s just what she feels in her heart, in case they’re not what she thinks, wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to say it?
Now that she knew that Mo Nan felt the same way, she knew that it wasn’t that she was being nosy, but that she was serious.
Thinking of this, Jenny fell silent.
She looked into the dark, empty distance, and suddenly said, “Do you think we’re, like, running into a trafficker’s nest, Mo Nan?”
Mo Nan was stunned.
Some incredulous stares.
“No. No way!”
Mo Nan didn’t feel right, though, and didn’t think that far ahead.
Jenny sighed.
“I hope not, but following what I’ve observed over the past two days, and what you’ve just described, I think it’s very likely.”
“What about it?”
Rao Nan, who had always been calm, couldn’t be calm after hearing this speculation.
If this really was a village of traffickers, even if she knew Kung Fu, the two of them were unfamiliar with the place and couldn’t even find their way out, and couldn’t contact the people outside, it would be hard for them to escape.
Jenny was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
“No reason to do so, let’s take it one step at a time, fortunately in my opinion, they don’t have any plans to harm us for now, I guess they’re looking at us two women with no hands and nothing to guard against, but that’s just fine, we need time too, everything will have to wait until you get well.”
Mo Nan also knew that she was telling the truth.
Whatever the other side’s origin, whatever intentions they have for them.
The injuries she has now are all a big deal.
Even if you have to escape, you must get well before you can say anything, or you won’t be able to escape.
Thinking so, she closed her eyes and prepared to rest.
Jenny wasn’t talking either, but her heart was thinking and wondering what Biden Lu was doing at this time.
He must have gotten the news of his accident long ago, what would he do?
Thousands of kilometres away, even if they wanted to help, a person couldn’t reach as far as that, no matter how long their hand was.
Chapter 719
Will he find this place and come to his rescue?
Jenny Jing was thinking nonsensically, thinking about it, only to find his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and after a long time, he couldn’t help but fall asleep as well.
And now, the other side.
Domestic.
Maple Bridge Cottage.
Biden Lu hadn’t slept for two whole days and nights.
His eyes were red and he had been sitting at his computer, remotely manipulating something.
A handsome face was only two days and nights old, and it already had stubble, and the eye sockets were sunken in from exhaustion, and the face was as dark as water.
The phone rang and he picked it up, “What’s up?Any news yet?”
There was a guilt-ridden voice from the other side of the room, “I’m sorry President, no news yet.”
“Rubbish!”
He bellowed, veins almost violent on his forehead.
It took a moment before he said, “Pack your things and I’ll come with you!”
On the other side, Vicky was shocked, “President, this…”
“Cut the crap!”
Biden Lu didn’t give him any chance to refuse at all, and after saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up, he grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair and headed out.
Downstairs, Aunt Liu and a few other maids were waiting in the living room with little Jingze and An’an.
When they saw him come down, one of them opened his eyes wide with hope.
Jenny had agreed to return the day before yesterday, and hadn’t arrived by now, there was no way to hide this from anyone.
Little Jingze was still young and might not understand much, but An’an was already this big, and once she saw how Biden Lu had been sleepless for the past two days, she also knew that something was wrong.
Her eyes were red, as if she had just been crying, and as soon as she saw him come down, she lunged at him.
“Daddy!”
She threw herself into his arms and hugged his leg and asked, “Will Mommy be back?Will she ever come back?”
Biden Lu’s eyes were dark as water.
Pick her up and reassure her, “It’ll come back, your mommy will be fine.”
“Really?”
“Really, I promise.”
No matter where she was, even if he risked his life not to, he would bring her back.
Ann bit her lip, choosing to believe him after all, and nodded heavily.
“Then I’ll wait at home for Mommy.”
“Well.”
Biden Lu put her down and touched little Jing Ze’s head again with a soothing touch, then said to An An, “Take care of your brother, I’m going out, you have to listen to Aunt Liu while I’m not here, no running around, okay?”
Ann nodded heavily again.
Only then did Biden Lu leave in big strides.
After he left, it wasn’t long before Master Lu and Old Lady Cen came over.
The news of Jenny’s accident was known to everyone here at Maple Bridge Villa, but because the old man and old lady didn’t come over often, they didn’t find out.
Still this morning, I received a call from outside, saying that something might have happened to Jenny, and then looking at the previous news, I realized that the plane Jenny was on that day had a malfunction and later returned directly to the ship.
And her own phone was no longer available, there was no news, and no one answered a call to Biden Lu.
The two old men just knew that something big was going on.
They couldn’t care less about anything else, so they hurriedly got into the car and remembered the driver driving this way to Villa Maple Bridge.
But unfortunately, as soon as they came over, Biden Lu had gone out before them, and the three of them didn’t meet.
It was good that Aunt Liu and the others were still at home, looking at the old man and old lady’s anxious look, not wanting to worry them, and hurriedly soothed them a couple of sentences.
The two old men were actually relieved to know that Biden Lu had taken care of the matter himself.
In any case, there was no need to doubt Biden Lu’s abilities, and since he had already gone there, it must not be too big of a deal.
And now, with two children in the house, the old man and the old lady were not in a position to show too much of their heartfelt fears so as not to affect the children’s mood.
Finally, only reluctantly agreed to stay for now, taking care of the kids while waiting to hear from them.
And the other side.
When Jenny woke up in the morning, he found that the person next to him had disappeared.
She gave a start and sat up in bed immediately.
Just then, the door was pushed open with a creak from outside.
Mo Nan walked in with a cup of hot water.
“Are you awake?”
With a smile on his face, Mo Nan leaned on his crutches and placed the hot water in front of her.
“Have a cup of hot water first!”
Jenny was relieved and asked her as she drank the water, “Why did you run out by yourself?I just woke up and didn’t see you, which scared me.”
Mo Nan smiled and didn’t say anything.
It wasn’t until she had finished her water that she looked in the direction of the door, then leaned in to her ear and lowered her voice, “I woke up early and just took a look out while everyone was still awake, and found the door outside locked dead, and a window there in the kitchen that wasn’t closed properly, so I peeled open the window and took a look, and it’s all barren mountains out there, and it’s just not easy for us to get out.”
Jenny nodded.
“Yes, I actually found out long before I came over here.”
She pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, “But it’s good, those people who were chasing us on the plane before haven’t found out who they are yet, and it’s not too good that we’re trapped here, but it’s also safer to escape from those people for a while.”
Mo Nan sniffed and agreed with this idea.
“I just don’t know if these people are human traffickers or not!If it does, I’m afraid we’ll just have to be more careful.”
Jenny Jing hooked his lips and smiled, “Don’t be afraid, in the end, human traffickers are just trying to make money, compared to those killers who harm people’s lives, it’s better to deal with said.”
That’s true, but when Mo Nan thought about it like that, he didn’t feel nervous.
After resting for a while, they got dressed and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Fourth Uncle and his wife were already awake, and Fourth Aunt was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, while Fourth Uncle was sitting on a chair in front of the house, smoking a dry cigarette.
Uncle Four was almost sixty years old this year, and was the senior person in this village, as well as the village head of their village.
And his wife, whom everyone calls Aunt Si, is a bit of a wino and generally listens to him in everything.
From what Mo Nan has learned in the past two days, I’ve heard that they have a son who works in the next town over.
But it says it’s the next town over, but it’s actually so far apart that transportation is inconvenient on this side, and you won’t get there without a day and night on an ox cart.
So inconvenient that that son rarely comes back either.
The old couple usually stay at home and work in the fields, but they live a quiet life.
Uncle Four is very prestigious in the village, so most of the people in the village will listen to him.
For example, this time when Mo Nan was injured, the village’s barefoot doctor was supposed to go to the next village to treat someone, but just because it was Uncle Four who saved her, he came over to see her first.
Chapter 720
Fourth Aunt explained, “It’s a way of playing in our hometown, which means that every year on your own birthday, you knit yourself a red string as a blessing for good luck.”
Jenny Jing also couldn’t help but lean in and smile, “It looks so beautiful, is that what everyone here does?”
Fourth Aunt froze, then shook her head.
“No, the people here won’t.”
“Huh?”
They both looked a little surprised and wide-eyed.
At this time, Uncle Si came back in.
The fourth aunt even lowered her head, not continuing what she had just said.
When Uncle Four saw the three of them sitting there, he asked, “What are we talking about?”
Jenny and Mo Nan looked at each other, and then at him, and smiled, “Nothing, we are just saying that the doctor who just went out, the craftsmanship is really good, Mo Nan still said that his legs hurt before, and as soon as he finished changing the medicine just now, it didn’t hurt anymore.”
At her words, the fourth aunt’s fingertips trembled slightly.
But she didn’t speak.
Uncle Four laughed at the news.
“Of course, we’re a few villages, we’ll look for him if we have any ailments, and if he can’t cure us we won’t need to look for anyone else.”
Said, and said to the fourth aunt: “Tonight, make two more dishes, give these two girls a good mending, sick well, always hurt the vitality, mending also recover faster.”.
Fourth Aunt nodded and turned around to go out.
After giving these instructions, Fourth Uncle also went out, and only then did Jenny and Mo Nan let out a sigh of relief.
Dinner was indeed very well cooked.
In the meantime, a number of neighbours from the village came over to visit.
Knowing that they had two young girls from outside the house, everyone came over like they were looking at a western mirror, all of them.
There were fewer people who knew the news before when Mo Nan was alone.
Later, after Jenny was sent over, I don’t know who spread the word, probably the young man who drove the cattle cars that night.
Everyone came over to see it out of curiosity.
Jenny found that many of them were men in their twenties and thirties.
Looking at them was like a pack of hungry wolves seeing a delicious, tasty sheep.
This is an extremely uncomfortable feeling, to say the least.
But Jenny and Mo Nan were guests from afar, and it was hard to bring it up.
I could only barely smile and sit there dryly greeting them.
They didn’t leave until it was time for dinner.
Uncle Four came back from outside looking happy, and even had a few more glasses of wine at dinner.
After dinner, Jenny and Mo Nan went back to their room.
They rested in the room for a while, and Jenny showed her the injury on her leg, and after washing her face at night and sleeping, Jenny suddenly felt some discomfort in her stomach.
She climbed up and said to Mernan, “I’m going to go to the bathroom, so you’re on your own for a while.”
Mo Nan nodded, afraid that she would be afraid at night, after all, there wasn’t even a single light here, so he asked, “Do you want me to stay with you?”
“No need.”
Jenny waved his hand.
She knew that Mo Nan’s legs were not easy to move, where she was willing to call her up to keep her company.
Mo Nan saw the situation and didn’t insist.
Jenny got up from the bed, put on her slippers, and headed downstairs.
She was lighter on her feet, and because her stomach hurt, she was so focused on getting to the bathroom that she didn’t notice anything else.
It was hard to find the bathroom and come out after using it, only to find that there was a starlight bobbing there not far away.
She was a little strange.
After all, this place, usually once everyone was asleep at night, there would be no more lights outside.
It’s also not like the big cities out there where people still have a bit of nightlife and stuff.
And that spark was not indoors, but outdoors.
They also didn’t build the toilets indoors in the countryside, they were all dry toilets that leaned over there behind the kitchen.
To go to the bathroom you have to come down the stairs, open the back door and walk a short distance to get inside the toilet.
So, after Jenny went to the bathroom, it was a long walk back.
But I didn’t expect to see someone standing outside Uncle Four’s house halfway across the street.
And looking at the reflection on the ground, there was more than one person, it was two.
That little bit of hidden firelight was probably a torch held up by one of them.
She walked over there curiously.
The stone building was a four-square, and the two men, standing in front of it, were around the corner in that direction.
Jenny was afraid that they would find out, so he didn’t dare to get too close, and only dared to move slowly along the wall, then pressed his entire body against it.
The two sides stood just around the corner from each other on a long wall.
Only a man’s voice sounded in the night, “Thirty thousand dollars!It’s too expensive!Don’t think I didn’t ask around, Auntie Ah Hua and Er Zhuang and the others said when they sent her over that the woman was married and had a child, not a chick, where would she get such an expensive one?”
It was followed by a rather older voice.
Jenny could hear that the voice was Uncle Four.
He seemed to be still smoking a dry cigarette, and made the sound of “bar,” “bar,” and slowly said, “It’s too expensive, you can’t either, the other one is a chick, also 30,000 yuan, or you choose that one?”
“I…”
The man trailed off and fell silent.
Uncle Four laughed twice.
“Greedy for someone’s looks, then you should pay the price of that looks well, we are all from the same village, that’s why I asked you first, if you want it, I’ll send the person over for that price, if you don’t, I’ll be cheaper for those villages next door.”
The man winced.
“But it’s too expensive, and you know how our family is, where can we come up with so much money all at once!”
Uncle Four was silent.
And then said: “The truth is not to lie to you, this person ah aunt and two Zhuang they sent over, my side just through a hand, the middle earns a little, to the time the deal is successful, I still have to share with them a big lump it!That’s a really good price to pay.”
He said, and asked, “Just say something, yes or no?”
The man said incessantly, “Yes, yes, of course I do.”
Uncle Four said, “That’s the number I was talking about, not a single child less.”
“This…” the other seemed to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth hard, “Fine, I’ll be damned if I’m going to give it up!I’ll come back to you then when I’ve raised enough money, but the deal is, I’ve already booked it, so you won’t be able to bring anyone else to see it for a while.”
Uncle Four laughed twice.
“Don’t you worry!This month, the girl doll with the injured leg has to get well, and she can’t sell it until she’s well, so they’ll be with me for at least another month.”
“I don’t want to use force, but I’ll give them a good lecture this month, and if they’re smart, they’ll know they can’t escape, and they might just accept their fate.”
