Chapter 151: 151 fleeing is just not possible Chapter 151: 151 fleeing is just not possible There were about thirty girls in this row who had been abducted, and there were as many as seven or eight guards, all young and strong men.
Eating, including going to the toilet, was watched, and with the shackles on their feet, escaping was simply impossible.
Having just finished eating, Ye Jiu felt her eyelids getting heavier again.
“We’re setting off, get on the cart quickly,” the urging voice rang out again.
Being watched the entire time, she didn’t even have the chance to ask anyone a question.
No sooner had she climbed into the carriage and settled herself than her mouth was gagged again, and as her eyelids grew heavier, Ye Jiu understood that this was probably because of the drug in the food.
When she woke up again, she was still in the mountains and woods, and knowing that there was a sleeping drug in the food, she simply didn’t eat but tore it into small pieces, pretending to eat it and hiding it in the Plane Space when no one was watching.
On this journey, Ye Jiu remained fully conscious.
Therefore, she clearly knew the carriage’s windows and doors were nailed shut; even if she had a knife in the Space to cut open the ropes on her hands, she still had no way to unlock the chains on her feet or break the carriage door to escape.
A long time, so long that Ye Jiu felt she was about to starve to death, the effects of the sleeping drug wore off, people inside the carriage gradually woke up, and only then did the sound of nails being removed from the outside of the carriage door sound.
Then, their hands were untied, and the line of people was led out of the carriage.
Seeing the sun high above her head, Ye Jiu knew another day had passed.
Holding the cake in her hand, which she knew contained sleeping drugs, Ye Jiu didn’t know whether she should eat it or not.
Eating it would make her pass out, but not eating it left her truly hungry.
Glancing at the obvious vigilance of the thugs, Ye Jiu understood that the chance of escaping on the road was simply too slim.
Seeing that the dozens of girls transported in these three carts, Ye Jiu guessed they were most likely to be sold to dirty places like Fireworks Willow Alley.
It was a journey of at least three or four days, and each time they stopped, it was in the mountains and forests, not knowing where she was at the moment.
Looking at the thugs not far away, Ye Jiu took a deep breath, and just as she was about to speak, she saw a girl from another group say, “Brothers, you’re holding us for money, my family has a modest estate. As long as you allow me to return home, my father will surely thank you generously.”
The woman was kicked mercilessly, “If I let you go, would I have a life to go back to? Don’t fucking think any crafty thoughts, stay put for me. Anyone who dares to run away will meet this fate!”
After speaking, the man’s longsword cut across the girl’s leg, not severely, but the bloody scene still frightened everyone into screaming.
“That’s enough, Old Fourth, just teach her a lesson. We have passed Dongyue, damaged goods won’t sell well,” another man said.
The still-bleeding longsword was then put away, “All of you, stay in line. If one of you runs, the entire group will pay with their lives. Don’t think I’m joking with you all.”
Ye Jiu suddenly felt relieved; fortunately, she hadn’t managed to speak up just now, or she might have been the one injured.
Without thinking, Ye Jiu quickly finished the cake in her hand.
There was no helping it, these people looked like they all knew martial arts. There was no hope of escape on the road. If she didn’t eat now, later on the carriage her hands and feet would be bound, and her mouth would be gagged.
By her reckoning, she hadn’t eaten for two days, and if she didn’t eat now, she might truly starve to death.
Ye Jiu could only guess based on the number of times they were let out that, after nine days and nights, they finally stopped staying in the mountains and woods, and arrived at a courtyard.
