Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 244 People in the Cellar

Qin Wangshu was walking in front. She knew someone was following her. In order not to alert the enemy, she did not speed up, but just maintained a normal pace and walked towards the house she rented.

They were almost there, and the people living around were all old acquaintances of Professor Cen. She had lived here for a while, and the people around knew her. As long as she called out, someone would come out to help.

The old lady followed Qin Wangshu all the way, watching her walk into the alley and then into a house.

The old lady didn't turn around until Qin Wangshu disappeared from her sight.

If Qin Wangshu lived in school, it would be difficult to catch her. Now that she saw Qin Wangshu living outside, the old lady felt that God had given her a chance.

After noting down the address of the place, she returned to their base camp.

It was a deserted courtyard with no one living there. The captured people were trapped in the cellar and were only given a little water and food every day to keep them alive.

When the old lady came back, someone came to greet her.

"Aunt San, you're finally back." This is a tall man. Although he looks very tall, he has a simple and honest face. "When are we going back?"

Although Beijing is a good place, there are many policemen. They are engaged in illegal business, and they are most afraid of those in uniform.

Since they have already "acquired the goods", they should sell them as soon as possible and convert the "goods" into money to feel at ease.

"Wait a minute, I have seen a good guy and want to find a wife for your brother Shuanzi. You also know that your brother Shuanzi's lifelong event has always been a headache for me. This time I have a good candidate, so I need your help. Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain!" The third aunt, the old lady, said excitedly.

"If Third Aunt likes it, it must be very good. We will go and see it when the time comes." Another man came out of the house after hearing the voice.

"The Three Gods love Brother Shuanzi so much, the person they choose for Brother Shuanzi must be good!"

"What you said is just as bad as the person I chose for you." Third Aunt rolled her eyes at them.

The place where they live is very poor, and boys are favored over girls. Over the years, only women have married out, and not many are willing to marry in.

The third aunt stayed in the village because she could no longer survive. Later, when she had a child, she decided to get involved in the human rights business in order to give her child a better life.

She looked very kind, and she knew that people would easily trust her, so she used this face to deceive many people. But she couldn't do this business alone, so she found a few honest-looking men in the village to work with her.

Over the years, they have helped many bachelors in the village find wives through this business, so the villagers turned a blind eye and allowed them to continue to go out and "do business" with the letters of introduction.

Almost all the wives in the village came from outside, and everyone knew the origins of women like me, so they concealed it from each other and watched over these "wives" from outside together.

Because of the human trafficking business, they also made some money, and with the money, their lives became much better. Therefore, the Third Aunt had a high prestige in their village.

"Of course, everyone knows that you have a sharp eye, Aunt San! When are we going?" They still had to leave as soon as possible and not let those people discover their tracks.

"Tomorrow, I already know where she lives, just cooperate with me tomorrow."

I briefly told them about my plan. I heard that you have cooperated with me many times before, so as soon as Aunt San said it, they knew what to do.

After delivering some water to the people in the cellar, they returned to their rooms to rest.

To call it a room is just to simply tidy up the room and then find a wooden board to spread bedding on and it becomes a bed.

In order to avoid being discovered, they did not dare to make a fire and could only eat some dry food and some long-lasting snacks they bought.

They felt like they couldn't even talk about anything during this period of time. Now they just wanted to take the woman that Third Aunt liked away as soon as possible and leave here.

They have already arranged transportation, and as long as they can leave, they can turn these "goods" into cash.

At this time, there was no light in the dim cellar. After staying in such an environment for a long time, they didn't know how much time had passed.

Looking at the water and food that were sent down, the people in the cellar did not move much even though they were obviously very hungry.

It’s not that they don’t want to move, but they really don’t have the strength.

During this period they had very little to eat and were locked in this cold and stuffy cellar. It took all their strength just to stay alive, let alone be able to get up and move.

After a long while, a figure slowly stood up and moved towards the water.

She moved forward step by step with great difficulty. After finally getting the water, she did not drink it herself, but moved over slowly and woke up another person.

"Wake up, wake up. Drink some water." Her voice was a little hoarse, and she was obviously dehydrated.

Because there was no light, she had to rely on groping for all her movements, and the person lying next to her could feel that her body temperature was abnormal as soon as her hand touched her.

"Wake up and drink some water." There was no medicine now, so she could only let her drink more water. So she saved all the water sent down today for her to drink.

"Is she okay?" Someone else's voice came from the other side, and the voice was a little hoarse.

"She has a slight fever, but it's not that high." She answered another person, "We have to wake her up. We don't have any medicine right now, and I don't think those people will give us any."

"Don't, don't bother me." A faint voice sounded.

"You're awake, drink some water." She put the bottle of water next to her.

"You guys drink, I don't think my body can hold on any longer. You guys should eat more, conserve some energy, and find time to escape." Her voice was still very weak.

There were three people imprisoned in this cellar. All three were from Beijing. Although they didn't know each other, they became familiar with each other because they were imprisoned together.

They had thought about escaping before, but because of the drugs they had been given, they had no strength left. Not to mention escaping, even moving in this cellar became a problem.

In the past few days, the effect of the medicine seemed to have weakened a little, and they had some strength in their bodies, but because they ate too little, they couldn't use the strength even if they had it.

Now that one of them has a fever, there is no possibility of escape.

The cellar was accessed by a wooden ladder, and they couldn't reach the door above. Their only chance was when they came down to take them away.
