Do one's best to win men's hearts

  076: Do one's best to win men's hearts

  The mountain village cools down quickly. After summer is over, after a few autumn rains, the wind blows and it's chilly and piercing.

  Zhai Wang heard that Shui Xian was already pregnant with a child, after eating breakfast, he went to congratulate the three armies.

  Xue Er has put on her sweater. The sweater is self-knitted, thick and soft, warm and comfortable to wear.

  There was also a blanket on the chair. Xue Er wore warm clothes and lay in the chair watching TV, which was quite comfortable.

  Xue Er was so absorbed in what she was watching that she heard someone calling "Teacher Wang" outside the door. Xue Er thought it was strange, as the last time Wang Xiao Hua called her "Teacher Wang", he already felt quite distant from her.

  Xue Er hadn't taught for nearly ten years, so it was only a very few people who still called her "teacher". The voice sounded like a woman's. Xue Er didn't respond, she wasn't sure if the person was calling her. She stood up from her chair and looked towards the door.

  A shabbily dressed woman stood in front of the door.

  Xue Er walked towards the door: "Who are you looking for?"

  "Teacher Wang, it's me! I'm Xiaoli!" The voice was trembling with sobs.

  "Xiao Li, how is it you? How did you come back?" Xue Er hastily went out to greet her.

  Xiao Li was asked by Xue Er, and tears rolled out. She hurriedly wiped away her tears with her hand.

  "Come on in, come on in! It's cold outside!" Xue Er pulled Xiao Li's hand.

  Xiao Li is who? Used to be Xue Er's student, Wang Xiao Hua's deskmate!

  Xue'er pulled Xiaoli into the house and had her sit down.

  "Xiao Li, don't say anything else. There's hot water on the stove, I'll pour some for you to wash your hair and take a bath, then put on my clothes, and we can talk slowly afterwards. Okay?"

  Xiao Li nodded, and tears came again.

  "Don't cry, don't cry. Your father and mother are gone, the wooden house at home is also dilapidated and can't be lived in, let's consider this place as home for now, okay?"

  Xiao Li nodded.

  Xue'er went to pour her some hot water and told her to take a bath.

  Xiao Li is taking a bath, and Xue Er is holding her clothes for her.

  Xiao Li washed her hair and took a bath, then changed into Xue Er's clothes. She became beautiful. Although she wore a sweater, her figure still showed the beauty of being slender and curvy.

  Xue Er only then began to carefully examine Xiao Li's face. The eyes under the double eyelids were still big, the small nose, the sexy lips. However, her complexion was somewhat waxen and yellow.

  Xue Er looked at her for a while and said: "Still as beautiful as three years ago, come on, sit down. What have you encountered in these three years? Tell me slowly."

  Xiao Li looked at Xue Er and nodded.

  "Three years ago, my mother died of illness and I lost my relatives. Li Zi, who came to collect mountain goods, was indeed good to me. He said he wanted to marry me, but I didn't listen to your advice and secretly followed him away."

  He took me to the county town first and stayed there for a night. That evening, he wanted me. I thought, anyway, I would be his wife sooner or later, so I gave in to him.

  The next day, he took me to the provincial capital. He said he wanted to travel and get married with me. I believed him.

  We played in the provincial city for two days, and he took me on the train. I was taken to Guizhou. In Guizhou, he took me to play for another three days. Then, he took me by car to the countryside. He said to go to a friend's house to play for a few days, and also said that in this area, he often does mountain cargo business.

  Then he took me to the countryside and into the mountains. The mountains here are lush with trees and have beautiful scenery. But the mountains there are mostly yellow earth.

  We arrived in the mountains and stayed at a local resident's home. In the middle of the night, I found that it was not Liz who was on the bed, but the owner of the mountain house, who was over 40 years old!

  I was so scared that I shouted loudly. He glared at me with a menacing gaze and said, "What's the use of shouting? You've already been sold to me! You're my wife, bought for 6,000 yuan. As long as you behave yourself and follow me, I'll treat you well. If you try to run away, I'll break your legs!"

  Xiao Li said and started crying again.

  Xue'er stroked her head: "Alright, it's all over. Don't cry, don't cry. We won't recall that painful past, okay?"

  Xiao Li nodded and then shook her head. She took a tissue from Xue Er and wiped away her tears.

  "Just listen to me! After I've said it, I might feel a bit better."

  Xue Er pulled Xiao Li's hand over and placed it on her own knee, patting it: "Okay, you speak."

  I know I was kidnapped. I've seen it on TV and heard people talk about it before. After being kidnapped, it's not easy to escape.

  I remembered the mountain roads that human traffickers took me through, with someone leading the way, we walked for half a day. There were no shelters on the mountains, and it was absolutely impossible to escape. I had no choice but to accept my fate, or else I would lose my life.

  I told the man that I didn't have any family anyway, as long as he treated me well, I was willing to spend my life with him. The man heard this and a smile appeared on his face.

  To be honest, the man is a good man. But I couldn't spend my whole life with him in such a poor mountainous area! The idea of escaping has never stopped for a moment.

  The man wanted me that night. I thought, if he wants to, then so be it, anyway it's like this already. If I don't give in, he will only stare at me more intensely afterwards.

  I said I'm willing to go with you, take what you want.

  That night, the man was crazy. The man told me before and said he knew I wasn't a virgin, but he didn't care.

  Men all say that, I don't need to make him suspicious. I catered to him and pretended to be excited, calling out in bed. The man was very satisfied and fell asleep.

  That night, I wanted to run away, but thinking about it, I didn't. Luckily I didn't, his younger brother was keeping watch outside all night.

  Later on, I paid close attention and observed that no matter how much I tried to get along with them and did household chores diligently, they were still very guarded.

  I think it's impossible to escape by force. I can only make them trust me completely, and when they take me out to the fair, I'll have a chance to escape.

  So I stayed there for more than two years. During that time, I got pregnant twice. As you know, although I was a girl in the mountain village, all the women in the village knew some herbal medicine, and my mother had also taught me about the properties and uses of some herbs. I secretly aborted the babies.

  I told them that I had been tortured by human traffickers and had a miscarriage, so it was very difficult for me to get pregnant again. They believed me.

  The man took me to the town market three times. I found that it was also impossible to escape in the town. Because, it is impossible to hitch a ride, and the waiting time for cars is long. Escaping on foot, even if I temporarily escaped from the man's sight, they would find me.

  I think that only if I can gain their absolute trust, and be allowed to go to the market alone, will I have a chance to escape. So I pretend to be content with my current situation, trying my best to win over the man's favor and make him trust me.

  One day, I knew the man was going to a friend's house for drinks, so I deliberately acted spoiled and asked him to accompany me to buy a new dress. The man said another day, but I didn't agree and insisted that he go with me.

  The man gave me money so I wouldn't get angry and let me go by myself. I pretended to be helpless and went on the road alone.

  I walked halfway up the mountain and didn't head towards the town. I was afraid that the man would come to his senses and chase me into the town, so I took a detour at the midpoint of the mountain and ran towards a hilltop.

  I ran for a whole day and night before I dared to close my eyes and sleep. Later, I walked in the direction of my home and finally returned to the mountain village.

  To be honest, I was there and the man was very good to me, he never hit me. But I only disappointed him, I didn't want to stay there for a lifetime. As for suffering, on the way back home, I did suffer a lot.

  Xiao Li said, and couldn't help but cry again.

  Xue Er patted her hand: "Alright, it's good that you're back. You watch TV, I'll go cook and stir-fry."

  Xiao Li nodded and started watching TV.
