The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 80: Little Words

Jiang Li had been in the cave for two days, and this period of time was like a year for her! Every day, these poor children could only get a steamed bun as food, and there was nothing else to fill their stomachs. Every time they ate steamed buns, the guardians at the entrance of the cave would mercifully untie the ropes on them and give them a short hour of free time.

Jiang Li knew what this precious hour meant, so she always tried her best to make good use of it. She moved carefully step by step towards the cave entrance, but was whipped mercilessly by the guards every time and was beaten back to her original position. Although her body was covered with scars, Jiang Li's inner strength made her never give up easily.

Two days passed, and Jiang Li's injuries continued to accumulate, but her determination to escape did not diminish in the slightest.

"Behave yourself! If you behave yourself, I will find you a good family. If you don't behave yourself, don't blame me for being rude!" The guard waved the whip in his hand and hit them hard. A burst of pain came, and several children screamed. After the guard finished speaking, he walked out of the cave with the whip.

"Hey, don't get us beaten up. It's so annoying!" One of the girls, about ten years old, stared at Jiang Li viciously.

"Xiaoyue, how can you say that! She also wants to help us!" The girl who was sold here by her family defended Jiang Li indignantly. Hearing her words, the girl named Xiaoyue curled her lips and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue didn't mean it. Oh, by the way, what's your name? My name is Xiaonian." Xiaonian looked at Jiang Li gently, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Well... you can call me Xiaoli! You are older than me, can I call you Sister Nian Nian?" Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and only said her nickname. It was not that she did not trust the other party, but she was worried that saying her full name would cause unnecessary trouble. After all, in this strange and dangerous environment, being cautious is the way to survive.

"Xiao Li, just give up. We can't escape at all." Xiao Nian said to her with a resigned look on his face.

"How is that possible? As long as we work together, we can definitely escape from this damn place! And I firmly believe that my father and mother will come to rescue me!" Jiang Li stared at the cave entrance with full confidence, his eyes determined.

At this moment, Xiao Nian looked at Jiang Li silently, and she couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart, but at the same time she felt helpless. After all, since she came here, no child has ever escaped successfully. Because of her plain appearance, even a little ugly, those madams always looked down on her when they came to select people. Before this, many girls had been picked, and she was secretly glad that she was not good-looking enough.

Two more days passed like this. Jiang Li didn't dare to go too close to the cave entrance because she heard people talking outside.

"They need new people recently. I wonder what the goods are like this time? It is said that adults like pedophiles." Intermittent voices came from the cave entrance. Jiang Li heard the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, and hurriedly walked back along the cave wall.

In the evening, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the cave, and there were quite a lot of people. Jiang Li saw by the weak candlelight that five or six boys were tied with a rope and pulled in. The guards pushed them into the cave. Jiang Li looked up and saw that the boys were dressed well and badly. One of them was about seven or eight years old, white and fat, wearing a white robe. At first glance, he was probably a child from a wealthy family, but she didn't know if he was kidnapped like her.

Jiang Li recalled how she was kidnapped. Now she wondered why she was so careless. She remembered that she ran to watch the circus that day and left Chuntao behind. When she arrived at the circus, a mother-in-law told her that her maid fell and was injured. She didn't care about watching the circus at that time and wanted to find Chuntao quickly. The mother-in-law told her that Chuntao had been rescued by her son and was in their home. She was very worried and followed the mother-in-law, but when she walked to a remote alley, she was suddenly covered by the mother-in-law's mouth and nose, and woke up in the cave.

Look at the boy in white again. His eyes are red. You can tell at a glance that he has just cried. Tears are rolling in his eyes, as if they will burst out at any time. His nose is also twitching constantly, and it has not stopped since he entered here. He looks like he has suffered a great injustice and misfortune. In comparison, the other boys are handsome, but they are dressed simply and look very ordinary. At a glance, you can see that they all come from ordinary families. Jiang Li does not understand what the guard at the entrance of the cave means by "pedophilia", but she can feel the fear and helplessness deep in the hearts of these children. After all, they are all poor people who were trafficked here, and they naturally feel that they are connected by the same fate.

Another day passed and the people outside no longer tied their hands and feet, but only tied their right hands with a rope. A dozen children were tied with one rope. Today, Jiang Li was tied with the boy in white.

"What's your name? My name is Xiaoli." Jiang Li took the initiative to tell him his name.

"I, I, my name is Mo Yan. You can call me Xiao Yan. That's what my parents call me!" Xiao Yan sobbed. Xiao Yan looked at the sister in front of him and felt that this sister was so gentle, just like her mother. He missed his mother a little bit, what should he do!

"Xiaoyan, where is your home?" Jiang Li started chatting with Xiaoyan.

"My home is in southern Xinjiang!" Xiaoyan answered every question of Jiang Li honestly.

"Where is Southern Xinjiang? Is it far away?" The two of them chatted casually.

It was time for dinner, and everyone got a steamed bun. Xiao Yan had just eaten his first meal of the day, and he finished the bun quickly. He turned around and looked at the bun in Jiang Li's hand.
