Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Chapter 494

The ten most cruel tortures were nothing more than this. Although it only lasted for a short day and night, it was a past that they never wanted to recall in their entire lives.

I originally thought that if I was secretly transferred, even if I was sent to the Public Security Bureau or sent to a labor camp, it would be better than life in the Huaiyin Brigade. Compared with life in the Huaiyin Brigade, going to a labor camp was like living like a god.

As a result, a few people were still naive. They were actually sent to this cave not far from the Huaiyin Brigade, starting an even more difficult life.

I was hungry, really hungry. Even if I wanted to follow the example of the members of several nearby brigades and dig some Guanyin soil from the mountains to make a living, I couldn't do it.

No one knew what was wrong with the man who was in charge of guarding them. He was unyielding and refused to listen to any promises. He was no different from a few wooden stakes.

They were locked up here and couldn't go anywhere, so they could only endure day by day.

From being tied up with ropes all over their bodies, from racking their brains to trying to pull the man into the water, from trying every possible way to escape, to now, even if the ropes were untied, they had no intention of leaving.

How can they leave in their current situation?

They were afraid that if they encountered any wild animal, even a python, it would kill them all.

If someone can come up with these ways to torture people, then what kind of person is he but a devil?

This woman might be the reincarnation of the devil. Several people couldn't even hate her. They didn't dare to look directly into Tan Yuan's eyes. When they saw Tan Yuan looking at them, several people quickly looked away and continued to lie on the ground to save energy. They were even more afraid that this woman might have remembered some tricks to torture them again.

Tan Yuan had no idea that besides Zhao Yang, there were several other adult men who called her a devil and a demon.

"You guys should have figured it out, right? Who wants to have a good chat with me? Or have you all not figured it out and want to stay here? If you think being hungry isn't enough, I can still think of a solution."

Tan Yuan thought her voice was pretty good, at least not unpleasant, but after hearing it, these people all shuddered at the same time. Is she really that scary?

Looking at the men lying on the ground in a twisted state, their bodies emaciated with hunger, their faces pale and their eyes bulging out, Tan Yuan touched her face.

Hmm...it seems like she went a little too far.

"Who told you to pretend to be starving refugees? I just wanted to show you what a starving person looks like. If you want to do this again next time, you must be more professional. You look so big and strong, anyone who is not stupid should be able to tell that you have ulterior motives."

Tan Yuan's words were well-reasoned and she actually gave the contact information to a few people sincerely.

Xie Er: ...Thank you. I will never do these things again. I will never do such things in my life. Even if it means just fighting, extortion or collecting protection money, I will never do this again.

This won't cost you your head, but it will be worse than death.

The looks from these people were so explicit that Tan Yuan was almost embarrassed by them, but she didn't have time to waste with these people anymore, so she went straight to the point.

"Since you guys are all silent, I'll just wait for a while and come over."

Having said that, Tan Yuan shook her head in disappointment and turned to leave the cave.

...They are not silent, they just don’t have the energy to speak!

As the leader of the group, Xie Er had to do his utmost to prevent this demon from leaving. It felt like at least half a lifetime had passed since the last time he left. Waiting for the next time? He was truly worried that the next time he saw this demon would be the end of his life.

I heard that starving ghosts can't get enough to eat even in the underworld, so he would rather die than become a starving ghost.

When Tan Yuan was about to walk out of the cave, Xie Er finally gathered enough strength to speak: "...Don't...don't go...I'll tell you...I'll tell you everything..."

Tan Yuan looked back and smiled ghostly: "That's right, it's wise to know the situation. What did the people behind you give you that was worth your life?"

The happier she laughed, the more frightened the others became. Of course, they were so hungry that even their fear was subtle and imperceptible.

Seeing them like this, Tan Yuan finally got the idea and said, "Do you want to eat something?"

She took out a mixed flour bun from the cloth bag she carried with her. The flour was mixed with a lot of grains. It didn't look delicious at all, but several people stared at her hands, or to be more precise, at the bun in her hands, as if they were hungry wolves seeing meat, their eyes emitting green light.

"In that case, I'll assume you guys want to eat. You all know there's famine everywhere outside this mountain, and everyone's short of food. There's no reason to give you food for free, right? I'm a good person, and I don't want to embarrass you. So, I'll ask you questions, and you answer them. Whoever answers first and tells the truth will get some food. But if they lie, you can report them, and the food will go to them. The liar will also be punished. As for what the punishment is, that depends on my mood."

There was a smile on Tan Yuan's lips, which was clearly a gentle and generous smile, but in the eyes of these people, this smile was almost like a death warrant.

Punishment? God knows what this damned devil has in mind, but none of them want to know!

Lies? Did they think their lives were too long? Or did they think the steamed buns were not tasty enough? Only someone possessed by a demon would dare challenge this damned woman's limits and experience her fanciful ideas!

The hungry wolves inside, led by Xie Er, have now been trained like a few obedient puppies. Tan Yuan said they would never dare to go west.

……

"I understand. I'll take care of it. Don't worry. Don't do anything. Just wait patiently."

Liang Weiguo sat on a chair in the study, holding the telephone receiver in one hand and a pen tightly gripped in the other. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, but the coldness emanating from his body was enough to show that he was in a very uncomfortable mood.

Liang Jin couldn't see his father's expression or demeanor, he could only judge by the sound of his voice. He could feel his father's anger.

After suffering setbacks one after another in the Huaiyin Brigade, even he himself was about to lose confidence.

There was silence, both of them were silent for a long time. Liang Weiguo seemed to be relieved. "Both children are very cute. They look just like you when you were a child. Next month, at the latest, they will be able to see their father."
