Chapter 49: Chastity is Never beneath a woman’s skirt.
Chapter 49
After Yellow Hair Man spoke, he started groping Shen Tang\'s clothes.
Shen Tang frowned, clenched her fist about to punch him, only to hear a banging sound, the man was smashed in the head, instantly fainting to the ground.
In the moonlight, Shen Tang discovered the person who hit him was the girl who earlier disdained her obsequiousness.
Seeing Shen Tang look over, the girl disdainfully twisted her lips, "What are you looking at, I despise you, but I won\'t stand by watching you get humiliated."
Shen Tang revealed a sincere smile, "Thank you."
"Hmph."
The girl let out a cold humph then returned to her previous spot lying down.
It\'s worth mentioning that, possibly because there were many people, or perhaps they were overly self-confident, hence everyone wasn\'t tied up.
Shen Tang turned around and tied up Yellow Hair Man, using a smelly sock to gag his mouth.
She walked to the door, gently opened a crack.
Most people outside were already asleep, only two night guards remained, watching short videos.
Shen Tang softly closed the room door, walked to the window across, in the moonlight, she could see the surroundings were all dense woods.
In this kind of place, if they hid well, it would be very difficult to find them.
Shen Tang shook the sleeping girls awake one by one.
"Do you want to escape?"
The girls didn\'t react.
"It\'s better to live as a coward than die a hero, follow me and you\'ll still have a ray of hope, do you think there\'ll be any good ending staying here?! This is clearly a transit station, next you\'ll either be sold to brothels or become trafficked brides."
A few girls raised their heads to look over, hesitation surfacing on their faces.
This was a good thing.
"Alright, watch my demonstration first."
Shen Tang walked to the window, grasped the wooden boards with both hands, then slowly started using force.
Afraid of making noises, Shen Tang\'s movements were extremely careful.
Soon, a wooden board was successfully dismantled, the sounds made were negligible, perfectly masked by the night guards\' video watching sounds.
Shen Tang looked back triumphantly, "What do you think? Do you believe me now?"
Other than the fainted girl, the rest were extremely shocked, lowering their voices to softly ask: "You\'re so awesome!"
"You\'re so strong!"
"Does this mean...we can really escape?!" Hope suddenly blossomed in a girl\'s eyes.
"Of course you can, but you all have to listen to me." Shen Tang said.
"Listen listen!"
"We\'ll all listen to you!"
The previously despairing girls were now extremely excited, all cleverly controlling themselves to not make any sounds.
Just as Shen Tang continued dismantling the boards, someone asked, "What about her?!"
That most miserable girl was skinny, but probably still weighed 80-90 pounds.
If they were well-fed, perhaps they could carry her along.
But after being locked here for two days without food or water, even running was difficult for them.
That one sentence successfully quieted everyone down.
Abandoning someone here, they couldn\'t do that, but they also couldn\'t carry her...
The girl lying on the ground suddenly spoke, her voice extremely hoarse: "Don\'t mind me..."
"You\'re awake?!"
"How can we not care?!"
"Yeah, why don\'t two of us carry her in shifts?!"
"You don\'t need to mind me..." the girl repeated.
She opened her eyes staring at the ceiling, revealing despair.
She was already like this, even if she went back what use would it be, her entire life was ruined.
She couldn\'t even walk, bringing her would only become a burden...!
With several creaking sounds, Shen Tang had completely dismantled the boards, it was fortunate they were nailed from the inside, otherwise it might not have been possible to open them.
Gently pushing, the window opened, moonlight spilled in, shining on Shen Tang seemingly like a moon fairy, ready to ride the wind and depart at any time.
She looked back, rosy lips parting: "We won\'t leave anyone behind, I\'m strong, I\'ll carry her."
Upon closer inspection, the girl\'s injuries were more severe.
Shen Tang found a hemp rope, preparing to tie the girl onto herself.
"Your leg is injured, it might hurt more, endure it."
"You don\'t need to bring me, I\'m already dirty..."
Shen Tang looked into her eyes, speaking earnestly: "You\'re not dirty, consider it just a dog bite. Humans only have endless possibilities when alive, don\'t you want revenge? Don\'t you want to see them punished?"
The girl froze.
With everyone\'s help, Shen Tang tied the girl onto her back, testing the weight, she felt featherlight.
"You\'re too skinny, you need to eat more in the future."
A drop of warmth suddenly landed on her neck, the girl choked out: "My boyfriend used to say I was fat too..."
"That was nonsense, what boyfriend, your ex-boyfriend, scum."
"Yeah, can\'t keep boyfriends like that."
The girl moved to Shen Tang\'s ear, softly saying: "If you get tired, just abandon me, I won\'t blame you..."
"Don\'t worry, that situation won\'t happen."
Unknown what time it was now, also unknown if those people would come in again at night, Shen Tang urged everyone to hurry, she took up the rear.
As everyone crawled out the window, Shen Tang kept worrying if there would be "bad teammates" like in novels.
Fortunately until the end no one made mistakes, the entire process completely soundless.
What awaited them outside were dense woods, no signs of humans having passed through here, also unknown if there were wild beasts about.
Pitch dark, everyone could only randomly walk in a direction.
Unknown how long they walked, no one complained of tiredness, no one yelled in fear, only increasingly heavy breathing sounds.
"Can we really escape?!"
"Definitely!" Shen Tang firmly said.
Encouraged by her, everyone gradually opened up, starting to talk about how they were captured.
As it turns out, the reasons were quite similar, those people either posed as boyfriend/girlfriends, fathers/daughters, mothers/daughters and openly brought them here.
"When I get back I\'ll expose this matter, don\'t let anyone get tricked again, this is too frightening..."
"You, are you Shen Tang?!"
Someone suddenly said, quieting everyone down.
"I am."
"You really are Shen Tang...umm, I used to be your anti-fan, sorry..."
A girl awkwardly blushed, fortunately it was dark now, unseen.
"Me too...but don\'t worry, from now on I\'ll be your loyal fan!"
Shen Tang lightly laughed, not minding this at all.
Strictly speaking, "she" didn\'t do well before either, having antis was too normal.
"Alright, then let me thank you in advance!"
Everyone\'s mood became increasingly relaxed, when suddenly noisy sounds and bright lights came from afar behind them.
"Crap! They discovered us!"
"Run!"
Everyone sped up running, but it was very troublesome sprinting in pitch darkness.
"Thud" a sound, someone tripped and fell, not minding the pain, hurriedly climbing up again.
Shen Tang knitted her brows, her expression extremely solemn.
"This won\'t do."
"What do we do?!"
Shen Tang looked back, clearly seeing traces on the path they ran past, continuing like this they would inevitably get caught up to.
She decisively put the girl on her back down, "You guys hide, I\'ll run ahead."
"We can\'t do that!"
"Don\'t argue, listen to me, I\'m strong with self-defense capability, you guys differ. Also, the police should have been contacted, you only need to find a spot and wait till daybreak." Shen Tang spoke, revealing an easy smile.
Shen Tang brought the girls downhill, letting them hide under bushes, using branches to cover them.
As long as no one came down, they would absolutely not be discovered.
Shen Tang held up a finger: "Shh! From now on, don\'t make any sounds no matter what, see you tomorrow!"
She carefully erased all traces around the area before continuing ahead.
The path forward was obscured, actually she wasn\'t as nonchalant and relaxed as she appeared.
But this was already the best plan she could think of.
Girls, hang in there!
