Zhong Hui'er dragged her almost limp legs back and forth, and when she was about to reach the door, she could still hear the loud discussion behind her:

  "Hey, what's wrong with the female college student? With one pull of the lamp and one spread of the leg, can't I do whatever I want? That vixen, even a hair salon girl can't compare..."

  "Isn't it? Let it lie down and let it kneel, more obedient than a big yellow dog."

  Zhong Hui'er casually pushed open the door, every few days these two beasts would come to play, she had long been numb. Only on this day, her congee for that night wouldn't have any anesthetics, so as not to lack energy when "working".

  In the faint light that shone into the hall, a pair of glass-like eyes were staring at her unwaveringly, and the understanding and pity they conveyed suddenly enraged Zhong Hui'er.

  She slammed the door shut with a loud "bang" and shouted: "What are you staring at?!"

  All sounds ceased, and a huge crashing sound exploded like thunder. Having eaten the anesthetic, they only felt numbness in their hands and feet, but had not completely lost their senses. One after another, the children rubbed their eyes and woke up.

  Jiang Xi silently withdrew his gaze, and Zhong Hui'er only then sat back down in her original position with a kick and a stomp.

  Sun Ting also woke up, she leaned towards Jiang Xi and seemed to feel safe only when she was by her side: "Xiao Xi, do you think Dad and Mom will find us?"

  Silly kid.

  Jiang Xi touched her hair, how could he possibly find it?

  No human trafficking gang dares to stay in the same place after kidnapping someone, and they are likely to be transferred out of the province while still asleep, far away from home.

  They have no choice but to save themselves.

  Sun Ting seemed to feel something from her quietness and gradually fell silent.

  The straw mat was turned over and over again, emitting a faint rustling sound, in this small tile-roofed house, it seemed like a low sob.

  Jiang Xi opened his eyes and waited until everyone fell asleep before quietly getting up. He borrowed a little light from the gap in the door and slowly moved to the female college student's side.

  Severe pain like a burning fire made Zhong Hui'er sleep restlessly. As they approached the river, she almost immediately opened her eyes, and before she could even open her mouth, a soft palm covered her throat, stifling her scream.

  "Shh - don't call."

  Zhong Hui'er nodded, and Jiang Xi finally let go of her hand.

  "What do you want to do?"

  "Want to run away?" Jiang Xi intentionally softened his voice, the clear and gentle tone unique to high school students poured into Zhong Hui'er's ears, she let out a "heh heh" laugh, as if she had heard an especially interesting joke:

  "Who doesn't want to escape? Let's hurry up and get out of here!"

  Jiang Xi didn't mind her rudeness, "I have a way to escape."

  "Work with me."

  Zhong Hui'er seemed to have heard a fairy tale, pulled the corner of her mouth and said with a fake smile: "Are you out of your mind?"

  Obviously don't believe it.

  "Can things get any worse?" Jiang Xi lowered his voice, and in the darkness it sounded somewhat reliable: "Why not give it a try."

  Zhong Hui'er suddenly sat up straight, her movements pulling on the injured area, and she let out a hiss: "You think I haven't tried before?!"

  "Give up, the whole village is full of informants, we can't escape."

  Jiang Xi looked at her with disdain: "Is this all your courage?"

  Zhong Hui'er was enraged, in this dark and endless torment, her temper had become more and more eccentric, more and more violent, her voice was about to become shrill, but was slapped back by Jiang Xi. The girl's cold voice was particularly refreshing in the darkness of night:

  "Quiet."

  "Why don't you hear me out first?"

  Zhong Hui'er blinked her eyes, and Jiang Xi saw that she had calmed down before releasing his hand.

  In the dark of night, trivial whispers rose in a small tiled house, faint and unclear, as if someone's murmurs in their sleep, the children were already used to it, and they turned over and continued sleeping.

  *******

  Jiang Xi waited patiently for seven whole days.

  In just these seven days, she didn't waste a single day. After all, who would be willing to have too much of something as vital as popularity? As a result, the children discovered that the originally cold and icy Jiang sister had transformed into a warm and gentle little angel.

  As for Jiang Xi himself——

  The taste is not so great.

  Children are lovely, but a group of children is a disaster.

  For that little bit of popularity, she forced herself to become a diligent and hardworking old mother who took care of everything from poop to pee, and even enjoyed it. Every time the music "ding ding dang" reminding her of the increase in popularity sounded in her mind, Jiang Xi seemed to see an extension of her life, and that bit of fatigue would disappear instantly.

  Children are actually a very sensitive creature, they have animal-like intuition, and insincere hypocrisy cannot deceive them: they often can see your true heart from the details.

  Jiang Xi had long realized that he was very talented in acting.

  She was all too aware that her true self wasn't a warm and sunny person, and the dark coldness hidden deep within would likely shock anyone who saw it if it were to be exposed in the sunlight. Yet, at this moment, she had put on the guise of a kind-hearted sister with ease, without any difficulty.

  In her past life, she managed to escape and live on the run for a whole year before turning herself in, all thanks to Jiang Xi's acting skills: pretending to be crazy, playing dumb, and effortlessly pulling off every performance without any inconsistencies.

  Tracing back to its origin, Jiang Xi found himself still having to thank that experience of being trapped.

  At that time, she was trapped in the Sang family's house, and her only window to obtain information from the outside world was a black-and-white TV. This black-and-white TV, which could only receive programs from the central station and local stations, became Jiang Xi's spiritual sustenance, allowing her to immerse herself in virtual storylines and play out other people's lives - this was the only way she could numb herself, alleviate the pressure and pain of reality, and make herself feel a little better.

  It's been like this day after day, and it's impossible for acting skills to be bad.

  "How many people have been affected?"

  Jiang Xi asked in his mind.

  The palm-sized Bodhi grass was becoming more and more spirited every day, connected to her vital energy, Jiang Xi could feel it, and recently his own vitality had become even more abundant. Compared to the companions around him who drank thin porridge and looked pale as earth, her complexion was exceptionally good. If not for the same messy hair and dirty face, she deliberately concealed it, perhaps she would have already attracted attention from others.

  "Forty-four."

  Lead seal character and River Creek calculated the account, nine infants, seven of whom liked it, two were good feelings, a total of thirty-seven, plus the initial value of ten, with the boy's five, Da Gui's one, minus the survival of nine days, a total of forty-four.

  An adult's vigilance should indeed far exceed that of a child.

  Although Jiang Xi had already given up on the idea of pulling Da Gui over to his side, he still believed in the principle of having multiple friends and multiple paths. So, whenever he got the chance, he would still chat with Da Gui about trivial matters, and after racking his brains, he was only able to get a little bit of shallow affection from him. As for Zhong Hui'er, she didn't even give him a thread of good feeling.

  If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were tied together like a pair of grasshoppers on a string, neither of them would be able to escape, Jiang Xi almost suspected that the cry from his past life would echo again in this life.

  "Little lead, prepay four drops of worry-relieving dew."

  Xiao Ying silently expressed her refusal - just as she had refused Jiang Xi's casual nickname.

  For this guy who appears and disappears at will, Jiang Xi is clearly helpless. Explaining the greater good to a non-human being is not very practical either.

  "Little lead?"

  "Two drops."

  What can two drops do? Fill tooth gaps?

  Jiang Xi also did a good job of calculating accounts in her mind for Xiao Yan.

  If she could successfully take these children away from the den, even if only half of them went from liking to believing, she would still make a profit. Adding to that the gratitude of the parents who had lost their children - Jiang Xi was certain that her poor household registration would be lifted immediately.

  "Wealth and honor are found in danger, if you don't give up your children, the wolf won't be able to wear a sheepskin. Xiao Yan, do you think Bao Xin Cao is better, right?"

  "Ah Xin is good, I'm good." Xiao Yan finally squeezed out a sentence after a long time, "Three drops, no more."

  Jiang Xi still had to distinguish again, Xiao Yan supplemented a sentence: "If more, it will ruin Ah Xin's origin."

  "Alright."

  Jiang Xi let out a disappointed sigh, but suddenly Xiao Yan felt that something was off.

  At that time, the simple and tender little lead didn't know that humans are such a cunning species - they charge exorbitant prices and then return the money on the spot. Jiang Xi relied on this skill to swindle a lot of pocket money from his parents back in the day.

  Three drops of Dew of Solitude are enough for Jiang Xi.

  Diluted Worry-Relieving Decoction, although its medicinal properties are not as good as the complete one, still has some effect.

  Xiao Yan, however, looked worried and anxious, as the entire official residence had turned into a gossiping old woman, with chaotic thoughts bursting in Jiang Xi's mind like firecrackers: "If the human energy value is not replenished within ten days, the Bao Xin Cao will die together with its host."

  "The two words 'violent death' were bold and black, in the dark and empty space of my mind, they looked particularly terrifying."

  "I understand."

  Bao Xin Cao seemed to have caught Jiang Xi's serious tone and slightly twisted her body in the palm of her hand: Come on, little stream.

  On the seventh day, Jiang Xi and others finally saw a turning point.

  After eating the thin porridge mixed with ingredients, Jiang Xi lay down on the straw mat and closed his eyes to rest, ignoring the occasional glances from Zhong Hui'er.

  The earthen house was originally dim, and as the last bit of daylight faded away, the entire room became so dark that one couldn't see their own fingers. The children rustled around on the straw mat, occasionally sobbing or whispering to each other, everything just like usual.

  "Jiang sister, you're in a good mood today?"

  The boy lying beside the river creek carefully asked her, having been dragged out again in recent days, he returned with a disheveled appearance. Jiang Xi pitied him for suffering such great hardships at a young age and took extra care of him.

  The boy naturally became more attached to her.

  Jiang Xi didn't expect him to be so sharp, and he reached out to pat the boy's head in a soothing manner: "Sleep."

  No sooner had the words fallen than a loud crash was heard from outside the main hall, as if wood had smashed to the ground and shattered. At the same time, the rough shouting of men also came in.

  "You dare try again and see if I won't destroy you?!"

  "Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, don't get agitated, Lu Ge didn't mean it." Da Gui's voice of mediation.

  "I'm going to screw your mom! I'm telling you, I'm going to screw your mom! You're a dog's spawn, not even worthy of being a captain? Can't even get it up for a chick like that? I've been tolerating you for far too long!"

  The sound of persuasion, the noise of quarrel, mixed together, people sleeping by the wall, as if they can feel the anger and fury hidden in it.

  Jiang Xi covered the boy's ears with her hand, "Dirty, don't listen."

  Outside, it was like a boiling pot of porridge, while inside the house, the children were trembling with fear, afraid that this group of troublemakers would stir up trouble and come in to take it out on them - this wasn't without precedent.

  The time is almost up.

  Listening to the increasingly heated argument outside, Jiang Xi suddenly stood up, but was grasped by Sun Ting's hand on her wrist: "Xiao Xi, where are you going?"

  Jiang Xi let out a slightly urgent nasal sound: "My stomach hurts, I'm suffocating." If you didn't look at his completely expressionless face, this really did seem like a girl who was about to suffocate.

  Sun Ting was stunned, her hand had already been pushed away, and Jiang Xi furiously covered his stomach and rushed out the door.

  Zhong Hui'er looked at the fleeting light outside the wooden door, her eyes flashing.
