Besides, those guys were all muscular and looked very skilled.

Even if I'm strong, I can't hold up so many people!

Now that she's here, she definitely has to find a way to rescue these poor girls and children; she can't just stand by and watch them die.

Wen Li still has sleeping pills; if she can defeat them one by one, there is hope.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Yue'er glaring at her through gritted teeth. Wen Li sneered, "She really is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong!"

However, in order to get out, Wen Li didn't mind cooperating with her temporarily.

Do you want to leave?

Jiang Yue'er looked around to make sure Wen Li was talking to her, "What do you mean?"

"You know I'm pretty strong. I plan to sneak out when they're not looking and take them out one by one, but you have to cover for me!"

"Why should I trust you? What if you run away?"

"Given that we don't have much time left, they'll be moved tonight. Once they're moved, do you think we'll be able to come back?"

The villagers don't know we're in danger yet. Even if they did, they wouldn't come until nightfall, but by then we'd already been evacuated. So we have to find a way to save ourselves!

Jiang Yue'er loathed Wen Li and didn't want her to escape. She preferred Wen Li to be sold into the mountains as a shared wife so that she could vent her anger.

She couldn't deny that what Wen Li said was true, but she just didn't want Wen Li to get her way.

"You really think you're someone special? There are so many of them, do you think you can handle them?"

"Even if I can't deal with them, as long as I escape, I'll have a chance to report to the police. The commune isn't far from here; the police can be brought over in half an hour at most. Then there'll still be hope of rescuing you!"

Of course, Wen Li said this to reassure Jiang Yue'er. These people were all vicious and ruthless. If they found out that she had escaped, they might suddenly attack and kill her. She dared not gamble.

Her only chance was to get out and use the space to knock them all unconscious.

Her sleeping pills are potent; they should be able to knock them out without them even noticing.

The premise is that Jiang Yue'er and the girls inside don't sell themselves out.

Once discovered, escape becomes difficult.

"I can escape too, and then I'll call the police and they'll come to rescue you!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Wen Li's eyes. "I don't mind, but are you sure you can escape the sight of so many people? Don't forget, those people still have hoes!"

Upon hearing the word "earthen shovel," Jiang Yue'er immediately calmed down. There were more than a dozen people outside, and she certainly didn't dare to take the risk without being absolutely certain of success.

In her previous life, she lived an ordinary life, and with great difficulty, she gained family, a lover, and beauty. Now, she is still the female protagonist of this world, and she is reluctant to take any risks.

She doesn't want to die!

It would be different if Wen Li went out; she's strong, and if she went out to get help, she could be rescued.

If she were accidentally discovered, those people would definitely not spare her life. They might even make a commotion so that if the nearby villagers realized something was wrong, she could be rescued.

"I can cover for you, but what if you don't come back to rescue us?"

Wen Li watched as Jiang Yue'er's bright eyes darted around, and she knew that Jiang Yue'er was definitely plotting something again. But now was not the time to argue. She was capable of escaping on her own, but only if she didn't alert Jiang Yue'er.

If Jiang Yue'er and the others are willing to cooperate, her chances of success will be even greater.

"At this point, you can only trust me. I think you don't want to be sold into the mountains, do you?"

Jiang Yue'er suppressed her anger and said, "Fine, I agree!"

Wen Li looked at the roof. "After dark, I'll climb out through that hole in the roof. You watch over the others and make sure they don't make a sound. I'll find a way to get the sleeping potion and then put it in their food!"

"good!"

Jiang Yue'er nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Wen Li used her strength to break free of the cloth strips binding her.

Fortunately, these human traffickers didn't take them seriously. If they had used nylon ropes, Wen Li wouldn't have been able to break free so easily.

After she freed herself, she loosened the strips of cloth binding Jiang Yue'er, saying, "Don't completely free yourself; just pretend!"

At noon, the group threw in more than a dozen cornbread buns made from miscellaneous grains.

The cornbreads were left on the ground, covered in dust, but Liu He and the others didn't mind at all. They picked up the cornbreads from the ground and started eating them.

Wen Li and Jiang Yue'er had just been locked up. Although they were hungry, neither of them ate the cornbread covered in mud.

Liu He overheard a few sentences of Wen Li and Jiang Yue'er's conversation. Although she held onto hope, she had been disappointed too many times and subconsciously worried that they would fail.

"You guys should eat something, otherwise you won't be able to eat until lunchtime tomorrow!"

"Thank you, I'm not hungry yet!"

Wen Li knew Liu He meant well, but she really couldn't eat, mainly because she wasn't that hungry.

After they finished eating, someone else came in carrying a bucket and a ladle. Liu He and the others picked up the ladle, drank the water, and then quietly sat down in the corner.

Seeing this, Wen Li also closed her eyes to rest.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly heard a man's lewd laughter and a woman's sobbing.

As soon as Wen Li opened her eyes, she saw three men enter. They were lewdly pulling several girls toward the door.

Thinking of the marks on the girls' bodies, Wen Li knew what they were going to do. She was about to make a move, but then she told herself to calm down. She couldn't act rashly now. There were too many people outside, and they still had guns. She couldn't act impulsively!

But when Wen Li saw the despair in one of the girls' eyes, her heart clenched.

These beasts are utterly despicable!

The other four girls huddled together, looking at the three terrified girls with a mixture of sadness and... relief in their eyes!

Wen Li couldn't stand it any longer, and just as she was about to take action, Liu He suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Don't speak!"

"Why?" Wen Li couldn't understand.

"If you speak, they'll only be tortured even more!" Liu He said, tears streaming down her face. "Once they've had their fun, everything will be fine!"

Looking at Liu He's complex and indignant expression, Wen Li really couldn't understand what had happened.

Of course, she soon found out why.

"What do you want to do? Stop!"

Jiang Yue'er suddenly spoke up, and the men instantly became interested.

"Oh! Little beauty, you actually want to save someone, huh!"

"Haha, little beauty, are you jealous that your brothers don't play with you?"

The bearded man's lecherous gaze swept back and forth between Wen Li and Jiang Yue'er. "It's a pity Sister Mei won't let me touch you, otherwise I really would like to have a taste of you!"
