Chapter 545 How is this possible?
The aunt, who was about to leave, burst out laughing and looked at Jiang Ying with envy: "Jiang Ying is not bad. She found such an obedient and beautiful one. You are so lucky. I don't care. The second one to serve is my son."
"Go away, what business is it of yours? My family hasn't even started eating yet. If you're hungry, just bear with it, they won't come back once they go back."
Bai Yisha feigned regret, saying, "Oh, why? I'm starving!"
She even bumped her head against Jiang Ying's shoulder, like a spoiled kitten.
Jiang Ying was initially annoyed by Bai Yisha's disobedient behavior of breaking free from her grasp, but now she was completely won over by Bai Yisha's constant coquettishness.
His tense lips unconsciously curled up slightly, and the sternness in his eyes softened a bit.
Very strange.
There was something about Bai Yisha that inexplicably made her feel good about her.
Jiang Ying couldn't bring herself to dislike him.
It's a strange feeling, like being pulled by some invisible force. Even though you should be angry, you always find yourself involuntarily softening.
“The people who broke in are bad people. If they take you away, you won’t have husbands anymore. They can’t leave the house for too long, or they’ll become suspicious.”
Jiang Ying spoke softly and gently to Bai Yisha, treating her like a child. After speaking, she patted Bai Yisha's head, her movements as gentle as if she were comforting a frightened little animal.
Not coming back…
That's great.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Bai Yisha's eyes, but her face still maintained that coquettish and soft demeanor: "Alright then, when can we go back?"
"Almost there, just wait an hour." Jiang Ying's voice remained gentle, unaware that Bai Yisha was already planning something else.
Bai Yisha nodded, yawned, pretended to doze off for a moment, squinted and secretly glanced at the trembling girls beside her, and then looked at the women who were leaving one after another.
They handed the chains to Jiang Ying one by one.
Bai Yisha pondered that Jiang Ying must be the key figure in the village's human trafficking ring.
Since there's no sleeping potion, then... knock her out.
After a while, Bai Yisha quietly exchanged her money for a baseball bat, the cold metallic touch making her fingers tremble slightly.
She took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest, her gaze fixed on Jiang Ying's back.
While Jiang Ying was looking down to inspect the chains, Bai Yisha gritted her teeth and swung the baseball bat with all her might.
"boom!"
A dull thud echoed in the confined space. The moment the baseball bat struck Jiang Ying's head, Bai Yisha could even feel the vibration of flesh hitting bone.
"Uh!"
Jiang Ying let out a short, muffled groan, her body stiffened abruptly, and the iron chain in her hand clattered to the ground.
Her eyes widened in disbelief and shock, then her pupils began to dilate.
"Pfft."
Jiang Ying's body slumped down like a puppet with its strings cut, her forehead hitting the ground with a heavy thud that sent chills down one's spine.
A trickle of blood slowly seeped from her hairline, spreading a small patch of dark red in the dust.
The girls around them were all shocked and stood frozen in place. Some covered their mouths, some widened their eyes, and some even began to tremble slightly.
A tense and eerie silence filled the air, broken only by the girls' faint breathing and the distant barking of dogs.
Bai Yisha gripped the baseball bat, her chest heaving violently, sweat trickling down her forehead, her eyes showing both determination and a barely perceptible tremor.
Was she... using too much force?
Is she dead?
For some reason, Bai Yisha was trembling all over; she was terrified.
My fingers were icy cold, but my palms, gripping the baseball bat, were sticky with sweat. My heart pounded in my ears, almost drowning out all the other sounds around me.
Her gaze involuntarily drifted to Jiang Ying lying on the ground, and as she watched the slowly expanding trail of blood, her stomach churned.
She even blocked the system's comforting words, and for several seconds she couldn't hear anything.
But there's no time to frighten her now.
She shook her head violently, forcing herself to look away from Jiang Ying.
Bai Yisha looked up and glanced at the frightened girls, forcing herself to calm down. She picked up the chains binding them one by one, handed them to them, and said briefly, "I don't have the key, so I can't unlock them. You can keep the chains yourselves. If you want to escape, come with me."
The girls' minds went blank, but they knew this was their only chance to save their lives.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and fear. Some of their lips trembled slightly, while others gripped the iron chains tightly in their hands. The cold metallic touch brought them back to their senses.
They couldn't understand how the girl who was just being affectionate with Jiang Ying could suddenly start hitting someone.
Bai Yisha, who used to playfully bump shoulders and feign regret at fainting from hunger, has now become their lifeline.
The contrast was so great that it was almost incomprehensible to them.
Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well give it a try.
This thought quietly rose in everyone's heart, like a faint flame, flickering with a weak but firm light in the darkness of despair.
They were all girls who had been abducted not long ago, and they all had a lot of injuries on their bodies. The bruises and dried bloodstains were particularly glaring on their pale skin.
Prolonged hunger had left them emaciated, making it difficult for them to even stand. They could only support each other, like a row of reeds battered by wind and rain, swaying precariously yet stubbornly standing tall.
Bai Yisha walked ahead, following the system's prompts, and found the doghouse and pigsty, feeding them.
No one knows what Bai Yisha did, but even the system was amazed that these pigs and dogs actually listened to Bai Yisha.
The pigs, which were originally lazy, actually came closer and rubbed their noses against her palms obediently, while the wary stray dogs wagged their tails, their eyes showing affection and obedience.
The girls looked at Bai Yisha with puzzlement and surprise in their eyes.
What kind of magic does this girl possess that allows her to tame even these livestock?
Bai Yisha stroked the pig's head, tugged at its ears, and muttered, "Pig, your brothers used to be my good friends. This time you saved them, so I'll definitely give you more pig feed."
Her voice was soft yet firm, as if she were truly communicating some secret with these animals.
These pigs are strong, muscular, and have broad backs; they can easily carry two people.
They hummed softly, as if responding to Bai Yisha's words, their small eyes sparkling with wisdom.
I just don't know if they'll be willing to cooperate with the puppies leading the way.
Bai Yisha thought to herself, patting the pig's back while observing the eager dogs, hoping this wonderful collaboration between humans and animals would go smoothly.
She straightened up and said to the group of girls, "Trust me, ride the pigs, and they will carry you out of here."
This is absolutely, absolutely absurd!
How is that possible?
