Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 508 Memories 7

The dark figure in the silent mountain road was indeed a bit scary. Ling Ruo was silent for a moment. The person in front of her did not move at all. He just stood quietly in front of her, blending into the boundless night.

Ling Ruo thought for a moment and asked, "Are you a child from the village?"

The boy did not answer her, and there was no emotion in his black eyes. Lingruo took a step forward and touched the boy's chin.

Well, it has a chin, but it’s not a ghost.

She had once heard her grandmother tell a folk ghost story in which the Taoist priest used this method to determine whether the people around him were human or not. Lingruo heard it and wrote it down, but she never thought that she would use it here.

The boy still didn't move, just raised his eyelids and stood there.

Seeing that he didn't react, Ling Ruo didn't plan to stay here any longer. Time was running out, so she had to go further inside to check the terrain.

After leaving, the boy's stiff arms moved, and his fingers unconsciously touched his still warm chin.

Why is he here? The explosion scene was still vivid in his mind, and his mind was a little confused. A trace of confusion flashed across the boy's eyes, and then disappeared.

When she came back, Ling Ruo saw that the boy was still there. She walked up to him and kindly reminded him, "They will wake up in half an hour. You should go back early."

Still no reply.

Lingruo didn't say anything else, but turned and walked towards the Zhang family.

Gently pushing open the unlocked courtyard door, Lin Yun still stayed in that corner. She didn't sleep, but was anxiously waiting for Lingruo to come back. Only when she saw the girl really came back did Lin Yun breathe a sigh of relief.

Lingruo did not restore the lock of the courtyard gate to its original state. She just threw the key that belonged to Lin Yun to her. Lin Yun took it and looked at Lingruo straight: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell on you? Aren't you afraid that they will know what happened tonight?"

Ling Ruo tilted her head, "I'm still young, only a five-year-old child. Will they believe that I am the mastermind? No matter how angry they are, they will keep me to work for the family and be a child bride for Zhang Xiaoniu. They won't beat me to death, but you are different."

She continued, her childish words carrying a hint of threat, "Now that Zhang Niu is dead, Aunt Zhang's family is left without a pillar and source of income. And you're a disobedient person who always wants to run away. Do you think they'll sell you again?"

Ling Ruo put her hands on the railing, "We are accomplices, partners in crime. But in the eyes of outsiders, I am just a harmless child who listens to adults. We are not enemies, we all want to escape, Sister Lin, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Maybe if Aunt Zhang knew the truth, she would beat her half to death, but she would not beat her to death. After all, the Zhang family did not have enough money to buy another child. But Lin Yun was different. It was hard to guarantee that Aunt Zhang would not sell Lin Yun again.

There is finally hope of escaping from the sea of ​​suffering, Ling Ruo knows that Lin Yun will not do anything stupid.

Lin Yun was just talking and had no intention of telling the truth. It would do her no good. "You, I was just talking. Why take it so seriously?"

"Okay, Sister Lin, good night." Ling Ruo got up and went back into the house.

The next morning, Aunt Zhang discovered that her son was missing. "Daniu is such a jerk. I don't know where he went."

"I heard the door open last night." Ling Ruo looked towards the gate. "Uncle was in a hurry, holding a gray bag, and I don't know where he went."

What did Aunt Zhang not understand? Her son must have gone to the county to play cards again. There was no lack of such incidents in the past. She asked why her son came back so early yesterday. It turned out that he had no money, so he came back to get money to continue playing cards in the county.

Aunt Zhang had no idea that the reason her son came back early was because he heard that his mother had bought a girl. He wanted to see what the new girl looked like and to "teach" Lin Yun a lesson at the same time.

After all, women in the county town are very expensive. They cost a lot of money for one night. It is better to have women at home who are free.

Although Zhang Niu also wanted to take the money back to the county town to gamble, that was only a secondary purpose.

"Grandma Zhang, where did uncle go?"

Aunt Zhang said impatiently, "You are just a kid, why do you care so much? You might as well take care of yourself and sleep with my grandson when your period comes. Give me a great-grandson as soon as possible so I can hug him."

Lin Yun, who was chained nearby, couldn't help but get a little angry after hearing these words. These people were simply beasts.

"Come with me to the fields to do farm work." Aunt Zhang was still a little afraid that Lingruo would run away, so it was always better to keep her by her side.

Lingruo followed Aunt Zhang to the fields. There was a strange sound in the long ridge in the distance. Aunt Zhang felt a little embarrassed when she heard it. She made a "Puh" sound and took Lingruo away from here to plow the fields on the other side.

"Run! How dare you run!" A group of people came in a mighty manner, holding tools, and took back a woman with messy hair. The woman was covered with bruises and her eyes were full of death.

Aunt Zhang seemed to be used to it. "Did you see that? Don't even think about running away."

Ling Ruo nodded obediently, "Okay."

It was already evening when she returned to Zhang's house. After dinner, Ling Ruo sat in the courtyard. Today, she did not find a chance to go out and see what was going on. Just as she was thinking, Zhang Xiaoniu came over and said, "Hey, what are you doing sitting here?"

Ling Ruo looked up at him and pointed to the corner of the yard, "Is that your mother?"

"No, it's just an object." Zhang Xiaoniu replied immediately, "She always wants to run away. I don't have such a mother."

Zhang Xiaoniu added, "You were bought just like her, but you didn't try to run away, so I like you very much."

How do you know I don't want to run, little brother?

Zhang Xiaoniu threatened: "If you dare to run, I will beat you to death and buy you another obedient one."

"I understand." Ling Ruo said timidly.

Zhang Xiaoniu was very satisfied and said as if giving alms, "I will ask for your help in a few days. I will let you sleep with me. My room is the best in the house."

After all, the small house in the yard is drafty on all sides. He brought Lingruo to a warm room. Shouldn't she be grateful to him?

It was midnight again. Lingruo opened the gate of the courtyard with ease, wrapped herself in black cloth, and walked towards the mountain step by step. She saw the boy again.

Ling Ruo took out half a steamed bun from her pocket and said, "Hey, do you want to eat this?"

I don’t know whose child this is in the mountains.

The boy took it, took a bite, and then spit it out.

"If you don't eat it, I will. Don't waste food." Ling Ruo had good intentions. The boy looked very thin and dirty like a beggar, so she kindly gave him her food.

She was about to take it back, but the boy ate it all, leaving nothing.

Ling Ruo walked along the same path as yesterday, but found the boy following her. She asked, "Were you also trafficked here?"
