Tangli Fried Snow

In the blink of an eye, Sherry was locked up for two days.

Sure enough, when someone brought the food, they untied the rope from Sherry, not afraid that she would run away.

The meal was simple, but it was enough to fill everyone up. Each person had some cornbread, vegetable dumplings, and a bowl of rice porridge.

As they ate, the expressions on the faces of those who had been confined to the room became more lively, and several of them huddled together and whispered to each other for a while.

Because of her pregnancy, Fuling ate a lot, and Xueli secretly slipped her one of her own steamed buns, saying, "Here, take this. If you get hungry in the middle of the night and can't sleep, you can eat it."

"This is enough for me, and yours isn't much either, so you should eat it," Fuling said, somewhat embarrassed.

Sherry said seriously, "This tastes terrible, I can't eat it. If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else."

Fuling immediately took the steamed bun, put it in her pocket, and smiled gratefully at her.

After dinner, Shirley sat down next to her again and quietly asked, "Sister Fuling, if I sell you off, can you manage to raise the child alone?"

When Fuling heard that she was still thinking about selling herself out, she smiled bitterly and said, "At home, I can only do housework and farm work. I have a little bit of embroidery skills. If I really go out to make a living, I will have to take care of my child. I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive."

Sherry said, "If I teach you a few secret recipes for making snacks, you can run a small business and barely make a living. You're still young, and you can find a man to marry and survive. As long as you're diligent, you can always have enough to eat. Do you have the idea and courage to change your way of life?"

After listening, Fuling remained silent and pondered for a long time. Just when Xueli was about to give up in disappointment, she suddenly grasped Xueli's hand with a firm look in her eyes and said, "Good sister, as long as someone helps me, I have the courage to start a new life."

"If I stay here, I'll just be controlled by that beast for the rest of my life. When I'm young, I'll keep having children and working as a wet nurse. When I get old and my body is ruined, he'll treat me like a useless old dog and sell me off. I don't know where I'll be sold to suffer until I get sick and die. That'll be the end of my miserable life. The most pitiful ones are my poor children. I've never held them, never nursed them. They'll definitely be sold off like merchandise by that beast. I'll never see them again. For the sake of the child in my belly, I have to fight this battle."

Her eyes shone: "I'm still young, only eighteen. If I can take a chance, maybe my life and my child's life will be completely changed."

Sherry was moved by her sincerity and courage, and squeezed her hand back, saying, "Girls help girls. Although my abilities are limited and I cannot help all the people suffering in the world, since God brought me here and let me meet you, it must be our destiny. I will definitely find a way to get you out of here."

Looking into her bright eyes, Fuling realized that although she was young, she had a strong and brave heart and was determined to save her from her suffering. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved.

Fuling patted Xueli on the shoulder and said seriously, "You yourself are like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river, barely able to save yourself. How can you possibly save me? You should think of a way to save yourself first. You are so beautiful, it would be best if they sold you into a living hell. It would be better if they sold you to a rich family, where you wouldn't have to work and could live a good life. That would be a good way out."

Sherry snorted coldly: "Hmph, I won't let them sell me, and I won't let them get away with it!"

The two whispered to each other for a while longer.

Suddenly there was a noise at the door, and Brother Shan and Er Gouzi came in with wicked smiles. They said to Xue Li, "Come out here."

Fuling's face showed a look of fear. She looked at Xueli with concern and whispered, "They are not good people. Don't go."

Sherry patted her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be right back."

She pretended to be scared and said to the two men, "I'm not going, I'm scared."

Er Gouzi immediately pulled her up from the ground and dragged her away like a child. Fu Ling, being heavy and clumsy, couldn't help at all and could only watch helplessly as Xue Li was taken away. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

They both reeked of alcohol, the smell wafting straight to your head.

How could a woman who was once a prostitute be afraid of men?

Aunt Bai often said that...

Men, well, the head above always pays attention to the head below.

Once the lower heads are used, there aren't enough upper heads.

It's even worse after drinking alcohol.

Sherry coaxed them into drinking some more wine, then secretly poured the wine laced with honey into their mouths herself.

Over the past two months, Sherry secretly collected the honey dew given to her by Lin Wanjun and stored it in her spatial storage. Today, she used up most of it at once.

It worked well; the two of them slept like logs.

Two other men were staying there, and she served each of them a cup of sweet wine. Before long, all the men were fast asleep. Although she didn't know how to tie a pirate knot, she could still manage to tie them up securely with a rope.

After doing all that, I naturally searched through all the valuables here. I found dozens of taels of silver, hundreds of strings of copper coins, a small amount of gold and silver jewelry and silver notes, about several hundred taels in total. There were many indentures, mostly for girls. There were probably several wet nurses like Fuling outside. I collected them all and put them in my space.

She opened the door, and the carriage that had brought her was still parked there.

Sherry returned to the room where the women were being held. The people inside were surprised to see her. Fuling burst into tears of joy, "You're back? Are you alright?"

She called Fuling out, closed the door, and the two went to a secluded spot. She asked her seriously, "Sister Fuling, you need to think carefully before answering my question."

Seeing that she was serious, Fuling took her hand and said, "Go ahead and tell me."

"I got those men drunk and tied them up."

"Ah!" Fu Ling exclaimed in surprise.

“If we just leave like this, they will catch up with us sooner or later. I heard from Brother Shan that they have people in the government. We won’t get away with this.” Shirley’s voice seemed to be filled with ice: “It would be better to send them all away and end it all.”

Fu Ling's body trembled involuntarily, as if she had been doused with a basin of water on a winter night.

After a full quarter of an hour, Fuling's body finally stopped trembling. She said, "They don't have anyone in the government. They just pay a bribe to a clerk every year to make it easier to process indentures. Why don't we set this place on fire and let the people inside escape on their own? Let them go wherever they want. We'll ride in Er Gouzi's car and go as far as we can."
