    ☆、Moshanghua 1

    Ning’an Prefecture is located in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, with lakes and waterways dotted all over it. It is known as a land network with three vertical and four horizontal lines.The Huaijiang River flows through the territory, and there are many buildings and boats on the river. Travelers and merchants often use the waterway to travel from south to north, which has given rise to extremely prosperous shipping here.

    There are also many coolies who make a living by pulling ropes along the river. Every spring, the river thaws, making it difficult for boats to sail. One of the most common sights along the coast is the trackers carrying ropes on their backs under the leadership of the leader, and the boatmen’s chants come and go.

    A dozen barefoot men were sweating profusely, no matter it was a scorching sun or a violent storm, or even at night when they couldn’t see their hands and fingers. Under the light of torches on the shore, the trackers’ faces appeared and disappeared, and they still pulled the heavy-draft boat forward.

    At this time, the boat had just turned a corner, and the dangerous river suddenly calmed down. The trackers burst into cheers. After passing this hurdle, it was easy to move forward.But there was a splash, as if something heavy had fallen into the river.

    A short scream floated faintly, and there was a commotion on an official ship in front of the canal. Then it was silent and there was no more sound.

    When she woke up, Yao Ji’s head was still aching.

    He reached out and touched the side, and found a chipped rough porcelain bowl.This moment made her completely awake. Huoran stood up and looked around, and was dumbfounded.

    Where… is this?

    It was a small, low room with yellow mud walls and a plaster floor. Under her body was a bed made of stones. Although the bedding on the bed was old, it was clean and smelled of fresh sunshine.

    There was a porcelain bowl filled with water on the small table next to the bed. Apart from this table that was randomly nailed with wooden strips, there was no other piece of furniture in the room.

    She is a little confused, here is…, her home?

    It was obvious that this was a family with not very good conditions. To put it bluntly, it was a poor family. He lowered his head and looked at the silk and satin on his body. The large sleeves and placket were embroidered with branches and floral patterns in an extremely delicate way. Not to mention the material, the style was just incompatible with this room.

    Then this shouldn’t be her home, but why does she sleep here…?

    While she was thinking to herself, a fat woman pushed open the door and walked in: “Hey, little lady, you’re awake. Are you thirsty, hungry, or have a headache?” As the woman spoke, she reached out to touch Yao Ji’s forehead.

    Yao Ji was touched by her, and she tested the temperature: “It’s not hot anymore…” Looking at Yao Ji’s face again – although the girl in front of her still looked haggard, she was no longer as gloomy as when she was first rescued. Because of this haggardness, her small face as big as a palm became more delicate.

    Aunt Luo has never seen a young lady with such appearance and grace in her whole life. Even the wife of the county magistrate’s family, compared with this young lady, is worse than a chicken with feathers.

    She thought to herself that Mr. Wei had really gotten a big deal. He didn’t say anything, and asked Yao Ji a few more questions. Seeing that Yao Ji was indeed not uncomfortable, she clicked her lips twice and said, “I’m relieved now. Just rest first. I’ll bring you food in the evening.”

    After saying that, without waiting for Yao Ji’s consent, she turned around and walked out, and stopped at the door: “Young man Wei will be back later. If you have anything to say, please leave it for him.”

    Wei Xiaozi~

    Yao Ji’s heart was full of doubts, and as she came and went, she became more and more confused.

    She had a keen mind and just realized from the woman’s words and deeds that the two of them were not familiar with each other, and the woman was looking at her with curiosity and inquiry in her eyes.Looking at this empty-walled home again, she must have been abducted by gangsters….

    At that time, there were first-class evildoers known as “paihuazi” among the people. Although many young children were kidnapped, there were also many young girls who were brutally murdered.After falling into the trap, she will either be sold into a fireworks field and become a prostitute, or she will be sold as a wife to a poor man who cannot afford a wife.

    Thinking of this, Yao Ji couldn’t help but tremble.

    She quickly opened the quilt and made up her mind to escape before that “Wei boy” came back.However, her legs felt weak when she landed on the ground. If she hadn’t quickly grabbed the edge of the bed with her quick eyes and hands, she would have almost fallen to the ground.

    Could it be the sequelae of drug addiction?But the woman just tested the temperature on her forehead, and it seemed that she was sick.

    Barely keeping her figure steady, Yao Ji thought quickly.

    If she was abducted, it would be impossible to ask the people around her for help. She had just searched around and found that except for the hairpin ring and jewelry, she had no money on her, and she did not have the ability to sneak away and hire a car to leave.

    Although the jewelry can be exchanged for money, the wealth is not revealed, and she is alone, but she is like a wolf’s den when she comes out of a tiger’s den.

    After thinking about it like this, she felt a little at a loss for a while.

    This was an extremely rare thing in the past. After many lives, there are very few things that can make Yao Ji panic. For example, now, even if she is abducted, she believes that with her own skill and resourcefulness, she should be able to deal with the person who bought her for a few days, and then slowly figure it out.

    At the moment, she couldn’t suppress her anxiety, and her heart was agitated.

    I can’t really blame her for this. Who wouldn’t panic when they wake up and find that they don’t remember anything?

    She doesn’t remember where this is, why she’s here, or even…who she is.

    It’s not that you have forgotten your past life, nor is it that you have just been reincarnated and don’t know the memory of your original body.She was sure that she had lost her memory in this body, and other than that, she had no memory of anything else.Trying to think back, my head felt like a stabbing pain.

    This is really unlucky… Even if she can escape, where should she escape to?

    Suddenly, there was the sound of the fence being pushed open outside the house.

    Yao Ji suddenly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. She reached out to the side and hid the coarse porcelain bowl behind her back. She only heard a steady sound of footsteps approaching from far away.

    Strangely enough, the footsteps were neither rustling nor thumping, but the sound of flesh on the ground, as if the person was barefoot.

    Then the door opened, and the skylight filtered in from the short doorway, and in an instant it was completely obscured by the tall figure.A tall man pushed open the door and entered. The first thing Yao Ji noticed was his eyes, which were dark and bright, like obsidian.

    He was startled, probably because he saw the girl on the bed, and stopped in his tracks.

    A pair of big feet were still stained with river mud, the tight muscles on his calves were rolling with sweat, he was carrying a thick rope on his shoulders, and he was only wearing a pair of calf-nosed shorts. His body was bare and bronzed, and he had the unique aggressive aura of a male in his face.

    He opened his mouth and was about to speak, then he saw the girl suddenly stood up and picked up the porcelain bowl in her hand: “Thief! Stop!”
