Chapter 100: Chapter 100 - Escape

Under the moonlight, a military jeep was speeding along the winding mountain road.

Song Yiren leaned her head against the car window and looked out blankly. There were only two more days until she would be transferred to a new prison, so she had to escape within these two days. Otherwise, her life would be over.

Seeing that there was a mountain ridge ahead, Song Yiren glanced at the two prison guards in front of her. She saw the prison guard sitting in the front passenger seat leaning back in his chair, seemingly asleep. She slowly moved her cuffed hands to the handle of the car door. There was originally a prison guard sitting next to her, but perhaps seeing that she was a woman, they let their guard down.

As the car passed through the dense forest, Song Yiren quickly pushed open the car door and rolled out.

The car screeched to a halt.

“The criminal has escaped!” The prison guard who was driving shoved the prison guard beside him and jumped out of the car to chase after Song Yiren.

The prison guard woke up with a start. After realizing what had happened, he quickly jumped out of the car and chased after her.

Song Yiren rolled down the slope. Suddenly, she felt nothing beneath her. She fell into a huge pit and came into contact with the ground. Song Yiren felt as though her entire body was falling apart. She took a few deep breaths and tried to get up to escape, but she didn’t have the strength to do so. After several attempts, she lay down weakly.

Looking up at the pitch-black night sky, Song Yiren’s heart was filled with sorrow. Could it be that she would have to spend the rest of her life in prison? Her escape this time could be considered an additional crime, and she would definitely be punished if they captured her, but she really couldn’t accept this! God, why did you make me come to this godforsaken place and face such a situation?

Song Yiren finally passed out from the pain.

“Eh? Why is there a woman here? She’s even handcuffed. Could she be the fugitive that the two police officers are chasing?”

“I think that’s a possibility.”

“Then what should we do? Should we call the police?”

“Are you stupid? If we sell such a beautiful lady, we can sell her for at least a few hundred yuan. What good will we get if we call the police?”

“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?”

“Why else are you called Silly? Let’s get her up here now. We’ll send her to Youxi Village when it’s dark. Didn’t those Li family brothers from Youxi Village ask around a few days ago if there were any wives for sale?”

Hearing their conversation, Song Yiren slowly opened her eyes and found that it was already dawn. Two dirty men with shotguns on their backs were standing by the pit, staring at her. Looking around, she immediately realized that she had fallen into their trap.

“Big Brother Dabao, look! That b*tch is awake!” Silly pointed at Song Yiren when he saw that she had woken up.

Lin Dabao looked at her and saw that she was really awake. “Go down and tie her up. I’ll pull her up.”

“What about the handcuffs on her hands? If we bring her home like this, won’t everyone know? She’s a fugitive,” Silly asked. If anyone found out that they were harboring a fugitive, they would go to jail.

Lin Dabao patted Silly’s head. “Who said we’re bringing her back?”

Silly rubbed his head and asked in confusion, “Then where are we hiding her?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Just listen to me. In any case, you’ll get the money when I sell her,” Lin Dabao said. He was already calculating how much he should sell her for.

“Big brothers… Don’t sell me… I’ll find a way to give you guys money…” Song Yiren said weakly. She had fallen from above, and her legs seemed to have been broken. The waves of pain made her unable to speak.

“Don’t joke around. How can a fugitive like you have money?” Lin Dabao looked at Song Yiren disdainfully. Does she really think they are that gullible?

“I have… I have a lot of money… I have a husband…” Song Yiren’s words came to an abrupt halt as a mournful expression appeared on her face. She was rich, but that was in her previous life. Not only was she penniless now, but she was also a fugitive. Where could she get money?

“What is it?” Silly asked curiously.

Lin Dabao slapped Silly’s head again. “Hurry up and get to work. Don’t listen to this b*tch’s nonsense. She’s probably brain-damaged from the fall.”

“Don’t keep hitting my head. My mother said I’ll become stupid.” Silly rubbed his head and jumped into the trap. He took out a rope and began tying Song Yiren up. This trap was dug by him and Lin Dabao. There were many animals in this mountain range, and they relied on hunting those animals to sell them for money.

After tying Song Yiren up tightly, Lin Dabao and Silly carried her towards the village. Not far from the village, there was a mushroom shed. It wasn’t the season to grow mushrooms, so no one would go there.

The two of them carried Song Yiren into the mushroom shed. Lin Dabao found a metal wire and removed the handcuffs from Song Yiren’s hands. “Keep watch over her here. I’ll go back and get a carrying pole.” The journey from here to Youxi Village would take at least twenty kilometers, so it would be much easier for the two of them to carry her using a carrying pole.

“Big Brother… Can you help me find some herbs? My leg seems to be broken…” Song Yiren looked at Lin Dabao with a pained expression. Only when her leg recovered would she have a chance to escape.

“How troublesome!” Lin Dabao glanced at Song Yiren’s leg before turning to leave.

Song Yiren looked away and took a deep breath before turning to look at Silly, who was munching on a flatbread. “Big Brother… I know you’re a good person… Can you let me go?” Silly seemed easier to negotiate with compared to Lin Dabao.

“Don’t even think about it,” Silly rejected Song Yiren immediately. He was called Silly, but he was not stupid. If he let her go, not only would he not get any money, but he would also be scolded by Big Brother Dabao. If Big Brother Dabao did not bring him along to hunt in the future, he would starve to death.

“As long as you let me go… I’ll definitely find a way to pay you…” Song Yiren promised. It was the year 1985 now, and her Teacher was still alive. As long as she sneaked back, her Teacher would definitely give them money when he learned of her predicament.

In her previous life, her Teacher had found out that she had taken Su Jinyue’s place as a member of the Su family. Her Teacher had asked her to clarify things with the Su family, but she refused, so she got into an argument with her Teacher. Her Teacher had said that he wanted to call Su Jinyue, so in a pique of anger, she had asked the men in black to kill her Teacher. She knew that she had let her Teacher down, but she had no other option. If she did not do so, she would lose everything. That was something she had fought so hard for, how could she give it to Su Jinyue for nothing?

Silly glared at Song Yiren and placed the flatbread on the ground. Then, he picked up his clothes and tore off a large piece of cloth from his clothes. He walked over to Song Yiren and stuffed the cloth into her mouth. After that, he sat back down and picked up the flatbread from the ground and continued nibbling on it.
