Chapter 592: Chapter 584: What’s The Use Of Asking Her Chapter 592: Chapter 584: What’s The Use Of Asking Her They were in a state worse than pigs or dogs, in a life worse than death.
Among these won was Tang Yuxin.
She tightened her clothes around herself; she was dirty and stinky, starved to the point where her skinny bones were visible.
In just a few days, she had beco nothing but skin and bones.
Her once filled cheeks now sunken, her eyes unnaturally large due to her emaciation and filled with fear.
She didn’t even know what she looked like now; there were no mirrors.
She could only deduce her appearance from the other won around her.
...
The other won were in the sa state as her, none of them were attractive anymore.
She must look like a ghost by now.
To the Tong family, she was a ghost, a living one.
And even as a living ghost, she was determined to survive.
She felt for the needle bag she had hung around her waist.
It was her only possession; no one had taken it from her when they searched her, for she had no jewelry, no necklaces, bracelets or rings.
ɴονǤօ.сο
Perhaps they thought this old odd-looking cloth bag was an accessory.
So now, apart from this needle bag, she had nothing.
But this needle bag, in desperate tis, beca her life-saving dicine.
Even better than common dicine.
She continued to lose weight, like a blooming flower suddenly deprived of its moisture, withering away instantly.
She clearly understood that her current appearance was safer.
The uglier she was, the less attention she would attract, and maybe that was a better chance for her to live, or even escape.
Being ugly was better than being as attractive as a flower.
At least, she was safe now.
Her thin body and distressing complexion repelled everyone, so no one gave her any special attention.
Several won who were slightly attractive had already been taken by those n…
Tang Yuxin curled up, shrinking into herself.
They each occupied a spot, initially still crying, talking, and making future plans.
But now, no one even knew if they could survive the present mont.
Even worse, they didn’t know where they were being taken to, which remote mountainous area, or places so unknown they weren’t even on the map.
She had seen such scenes many tis before, discussed them with classmates, and they had laughed it off as a joke.
She just never expected…
Letting out a bitter laugh, she couldn’t believe that one day this would happen to her.
Taken and sold, with no idea where she would end up, whether she would die there or perhaps, one day, manage to escape.
And she didn’t even know how to save herself.
Touching her arm, now resembling a dry twig, her life hanging by a thread from the daily bread and water she was given.
Escaping wasn’t as easy as she imagined, and those TV shows were wrong about self-rescue.
These people starved them, weakening them so much they can’t even walk.
How could they outrun a vehicle, on all fours trying to crawl their way out?
With no strength, no sense of direction, and the will to survive fading away, how can they escape?
She tightened her clothes around her and closed her eyes.
Like goods, they were being transported in this sealed vehicle, to be sold off to who knows where?
The vehicle kept starting and stopping.
Tang Yuxin opened her eyes, awoken by the sound of sobbing.
A man grabbed a woman by her hair and ruthlessly dragged her out of the car.
No matter how much she cried, scread or pleaded, she was still forced out of the vehicle.
And everything else, everyone knew what happened next.
They were sold off like pieces of at, weighed and compared.
She wondered how much she weighed.
As the journey continued, the number of won in the vehicle kept reducing.
Tang Yuxin knew it would be her turn soon, and yet she hadn’t found a way to escape.
Because there was no way.
Any attempt could cost her life.
In their eyes, these won were nothing more than goods waiting for their price to be tagged.
One wrong move, and they could be killed on the spot.
Her only chance might be to wait, wait to be sold.
Perhaps once sold, she would get a chance to escape this hell.
She barely opened her eyes, considering if death would be more rciful than being sold to an isolated poor village, and being treated like a breeding pig.
Was there any difference between living or dying then?
No, there wasn’t.
Yet, she laughed bitterly.
Despite her circumstances, she still wanted to live.
No matter how unbearable the situation, she desired survival.
She had tasted death; it was cold, terrifying, and incredibly lonely.
Suddenly, an icy chill seized her, causing her to shudder.
Was it winter already?
If not, why was it so cold?
Why was the cold making her bones ache so much?
The vehicle door swung open again.
The woman next to Tang Yuxin was dragged away.
While Tang Yuxin froze, unperturbed, the woman turned to look at her, her lacklustre eyes pleading for help.
Tang Yuxin’s colorless lips slightly moved.
What good was pleading to her?
She was struggling for her own survival.
Upon seeing Tang Yuxin’s indifference, the woman’s face twisted into an expression of bitterness and resentnt.
Tang Yuxin turned away, pressing her head against the cold tal wall of the vehicle.
There was no need for resentnt.
She would soon be next.
She didn’t need anyone to wish ill upon her, she sensed trouble around the corner.
How many won escaped their plight?
How many left unscathed?
If they didn’t die physically, they faded away in spirit.
The vehicle stopped again, and there were only a few left inside.
Most had been sold off during the journey.
