A scorching heat gradually spread throughout her body.
Hot!
Incomparably hot!
It was as if she was being roasted in an oven.
This was the first thing Ji Yunshu felt when she regained consciousness.
She couldn't move her body. Her hands and feet were tied with ropes, and her eyes were covered with a piece of cloth.
Where was this?
She could feel that she was in a carriage because of the bumpy ride and the sound of rolling wheels.
"Wuwuwu …"
Suddenly, the sound of a woman crying came from the side.
It was mixed with fear!
She opened her mouth, "Who are you?"
"Wuwuwu …" The woman kept sobbing quietly.
What was going on?
Ji Yunshu felt even more uncertain.
Until someone pulled the cloth off her eyes.
Faint light shone into her eyes, and it took a while for her to adjust.
Finally, she could see her surroundings clearly.
It turned out that she was imprisoned in a carriage. No, to be precise, it was a prison carriage. A square prison carriage covered with cloth!
There were also three other women locked inside with him.
One was burying her head in tears!
One was hugging her knees as if she had lost her soul, her eyes unmoving as she stared at her shoes with holes.
The last one was looking at her, still holding the cloth that had been removed from her eyes.
This …
Could it be that she had fallen into the hands of human traffickers?
She immediately looked down and found that she was wearing a man's robe. It was so big that it almost covered her entire body, and it even reeked of a man's sweat.
"Miss, are you alright?" The woman who helped her remove the cloth asked. Only now did Ji Yunshu take a closer look at her. The woman in front of her had a peerlessly beautiful face. Her cheeks were like goose cream, and her lips were like cherry blossoms. Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her eyes were like limpid autumn waters. She had an aura that was different from that of a mortal woman. However, her elegant brows were slightly knitted, and a faint sadness could be seen on her face.
Even Ji Wanxin couldn't compare to her.
"I'm fine, thank you."
"Then let me untie you."
The woman's movements were slow and careful. As she untied the rope, she said, "My name is Qin Xi. You can also call me Xi 'er."
After the ropes were untied one by one, Ji Yunshu twisted her wrist and asked, "What's going on?"
Qin Xi shook her head. "I don't know either. I only remember that when I was resting in the forest, I was suddenly knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was already locked up here. Counting the time, it's already been five days."
His situation was roughly the same as his own. They were both captured in the forest.
Ji Yunshu looked at the other two girls.
Qin Xi also told her everything.
The one who had been crying was called Chen Yun. She was only 13 years old. In modern times, she would be a child.
He didn't know the name of the silent woman who was hugging her knees. She had just been captured the day before yesterday. At first, she was so scared that she cried non-stop. However, after one night, she became like this. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She didn't even speak, as if she had become stupid.
Ji Yunshu also revealed her name – Jing Yun!
The prison cart was covered with a large piece of cloth, but they could still vaguely see the vast grassland outside. Occasionally, they would pass through a forest. The front and back of the carriage were similar prison carts. It was obvious that the four of them weren't the only ones who were captured.
Qin Xi told her that there would be people being locked up here almost every day. After traveling for a while, the carriage would stop. Those people would let them out and give them food. However, after eating, they would be locked up again.
The cycle repeated itself.
Reason told Ji Yunshu that she had to calm down. She had to first figure out who these people were. Why did they lock up so many women?
That was the only way for her to escape!
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped.
Some burly men began to open the prison carts one by one. They pulled out the women inside one by one. There were about 20 of them. They were all young women below the age of 25. Their faces were full of fear. They lowered their heads and shrank their necks, trembling all over.
These women were all as beautiful as flowers.
"Sit down!" The man raised his voice and ordered.
The women didn't dare to disobey. They sat down one by one.
Ji Yunshu sat at the back of the crowd. She didn't know where she was. She looked around and saw an endless grassland in front of her. Behind her was a dense forest. She couldn't even figure out which direction she was in.
"Sit down properly. If anyone doesn't behave, I'll whip you to death." The man standing in front was very fierce. He had a full beard and fierce eyes. He wore clothes made from Panhu's fur, which made him look even more 'insane'.
Judging from his clothes, he wasn't from Houliao.
There were four or five tribes active in the western grassland. It was hard to determine who they were.
Suddenly …
"Let me go, let me go …" Chen Yun, who had calmed down, suddenly became agitated again.
She began to cry and wanted to run.
But just as he stood up, he hadn't even taken three steps when he was whipped by the leader of the group.
"Pa!"
The whip was direct and efficient!
Chen Yun's clothes were torn open. There was a long cut on her back. Blood flowed out and dyed her clothes red.
What followed was a blood-curdling scream.
"Ah!"
Chen Yun fell to the ground from the force of the whip.
Tears streamed down her face.
But she didn't have the strength to scream.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu wanted to rush over but was stopped by Qin Xi.
He reminded her softly in fear and trepidation, "Don't worry about it. He'll beat you to death when the time comes."
Ji Yunshu thought about it and gave up.
But the man didn't give up. He held the whip in his hand and ruthlessly lashed at Chen Yun's back.
"Pa!"
The sound was like a demon coming to claim her life. The women trembled in fear. They huddled together and lowered their heads, not daring to look.
The man's face was full of ferocity. Blue veins popped on his face. When he was about to whip for the third time, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Everyone's eyes were on the person who came forward to stop him.
It was a young man!
His figure was tall and straight, his facial features were distinct, and his appearance was handsome. His sword-like eyebrows were high and cold, and his expressionless face did not reveal any emotion. However, his pair of black eyes were as cold as ice, making people shudder.
The man holding the whip was obviously scared.
"Bai Yin?"
It sounded like a woman's name!
The man called Bai Yin said coldly, "Don't kill anyone. Bring back every single one of these women."
His tone was commanding.
It was so cold that it made people shiver.
"Yes." The man holding the whip retracted the hostility on his body and became respectful.
