Chapter 356: Chapter 360: After the Female Lead is Kidnapped (4)

Thankfully, Su Yuan couldn’t see; otherwise, she might have fainted from the sight of ants and bugs swarming through every crack.

If there had been light, one would have seen that the whole earth house was teeming with insects, crowding over one another, layer upon layer, pushing forward.

But all the insects stopped in their tracks three inches away from Su Li, no longer advancing.

This caused a vacuum zone to form in front of Su Li.

Su Li’s fingers danced rhythmlessly in the air twice, and a significant amount of Spiritual Energy gathered towards where she pointed.

The dense crowd of insects immediately stirred.

"Hey, are you awake? Did you hear that sound? It’s terrifying...."

Su Yuan’s voice was loud and sounded very scared.

She loudly tried to wake Su Li, who was in the same room.

"I didn’t hear anything, do you have a problem with your ears...." Su Li responded lazily.

Her hands didn’t stop moving, reducing the first wave of insects, leaving behind those that appeared stronger.

"It definitely was there, like insects crawling...."

Su Li thought to herself, "It really was insects crawling, the little girl has quite sensitive perception."

Yet she verbally said, "No..."

The more Su Yuan thought about it, the more terrified she became, shouting neurotically, "There are...."

Having been beaten earlier in the day, Su Yuan’s mentality had collapsed. She was both frightened and scared, and her body ached.

She kept her eyes wide open, the seconds feeling like years.

A nightmare, she was just having a nightmare.... maybe it would be better once she opened her eyes....

The wooden door was kicked open with a "bang," and the beam of a flashlight shone in.

"What are you screaming about...."

The woman, still holding a handful of sunflower seeds, kicked Su Yuan twice with a strong tone.

"There are bugs... so many...." Su Yuan’s body trembled like a sieve, clearly not feigning.

The woman spat out the shell of the sunflower seeds from her mouth and suspiciously shone the flashlight around the room.

Next, she slapped Su Yuan across the face, convinced that she was up to tricks.

"Be good, wait until tomorrow when the village chief has made arrangements, and you’ll be able to enter the bridal chamber."

Thinking for a moment, the woman then tied the ropes around Su Yuan even tighter.

The next day, at the break of dawn, it was still Jixiang and two Ruyi’s family women who entered by pushing the door.

Ah Li and Ah Juan each carried a bowl of rice porridge so clear the bottom could be seen.

"We eat breakfast now, and later we will go to the village’s large meadow."

Both women held the bowls, their movements not gentle, feeding rice porridge to both Su Li and Su Yuan.

With big bowls of porridge, they forcefully poured it to their mouths.

Su Li managed okay, but Su Yuan, who had made a fuss all day and had been scared and beaten, was out of strength, her stomach stuck to her back.

She didn’t have the strength to resist the rapid feeding.

Before she could swallow one mouthful, the next was already being poured in.

A lot of the liquid spilled from her nose and corners of her mouth, creating quite a mess.

Ah Juan, looking disgusted at the porridge Su Yuan sprayed on her hand, obviously became very irritable.

In one breath, she poured all the porridge from the bowl into Su Yuan’s mouth, almost choking her to death.

Su Yuan’s tears and snot smeared all over her face, and her clothes also turned filthy.

"Don’t feed her too much, lest she needs to go to the bathroom later."

The two women were experienced in such matters.

They ensured that the new women would not starve to death, yet could not muster much strength.

Even if they wanted to run, they no longer had the energy, nor could they get far.

They also needed to make sure they consumed enough water, without getting thirsty or having too much.

Otherwise, going to the restroom would be a hassle, and having an accident would be even more troublesome.

Congee was the best food for this....

It was just for a day, anyway. By evening, once the man who offered the highest bid took the woman away, it was no longer their concern.

The village’s large lawn was actually just a small plot of cleared land where the weeds had been hoed away.

Early in the morning, the lawn had already gathered quite a crowd.

It seemed like the entire village, consisting of over twenty households, had shown up.

Some of them had just woken up and came over with bowls in hand.

The contents of their bowls, the food they held, wasn’t anything fancy—just some coarse rice porridge, or perhaps a hard, doughy bun, or a little wild vegetables that they chewed enthusiastically.

It was evident that the village was truly poor.

The clothes worn by the villagers were patched up quite a bit.

Families with grown men wanting to participate in this auction clutched cloth bags in their hands.

Within these cloth bags lay the savings of many years, stacks of money bundled together.

"You’re also planning to buy a wife for your son, aren’t you?"

"Indeed, I’ve been saving for many years."

"I heard this time it’s two college students who are exceptionally pretty, even prettier than Liao Pizi’s wife."

"Really? Then this money in my hand might not be enough.... If it’s really not enough, lend me some...."

"Get lost, my family also has a man needing a wife...."

The surrounding murmurs ceased without a trace after the village chief arrived.

The village chief coughed lightly, quite satisfied with his own prestige in the village.

"Everyone should know why I’ve called you all here this early in the morning, right?"

"We know..."

Village Chief, "Your wives should have told you, right? This time, we have two fine goods in the village. They are so beautiful, you definitely won’t regret buying them."

"As always, whoever offers the most gets to have her."

The unmarried men in the village were eager, laughing loudly as they teased the village chief, "Uncle, at least let us have a look first...."

"Alright, then let me show them to you...."

Su Li and Su Yuan were dragged into the large lawn by Ah Li and Ah Juan.

Su Yuan’s weak body needed to lean on Ah Juan to walk.

Her face bore clear signs of anxiety, fear, and terror.

She shook her head, wanting to retreat, but with just a slight force from Ah Juan’s hand, even if Su Yuan didn’t want to go out, she had to be dragged along unwillingly.

Su Yuan kept giving Su Li significant glances, hoping she would come up with a plan.

In both Ah Juan and Ah Li’s narratives, they knew being brought to the lawn was like being treated as a commodity with no way back.

As soon as they stepped outside the earthen house, a large group of village women surrounded them.

These women were used to farming, strong and robust.

Even if a grown man were trapped in their midst, he couldn’t escape.

Su Li’s face was as impassive as ever, which greatly surprised the other women in the village.

"Are you sure she’s not dumb? Otherwise, I’d rather have my head of household choose the other one...."

Su Yuan, "....."

Su Li noticed that after hearing this, a slight look of disgust flickered secretly in Su Yuan’s eyes.

We agreed that you’d act like a naive and kind girl. How can you not follow the script? Thumbs down!!!
