Chapter 247: Sacrificial Girl (4)
Chapter 247: Sacrificial Girl (4)
Gradually, Zhao Lan always felt that something was wrong. There were people outside the yard, but there was no news of Shen Zhaowan being brought back. Could it be that she really escaped? Was the direction she was heading in safe?
Thinking of this, Zhao Lan became jealous and regretful, and couldn't help but wonder if she would be successful if the two of them switched directions?
However, she didn't have much time to think, as her mother-in-law had already brought her to the outside of the hut where they lived.
"Mother-in-law, why are you here? Why don't you hurry up and look for her? If she's hurt, then..."
"Let's take a look first? Is she really gone?"
Zhao Lan said uneasily, "Yes."
She had to answer like this, only in this way could she be safe.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong and felt very calm.
However, when the door was opened, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide: "Sister Shen?"
"I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried." She rushed over anxiously, hugged Shen Zhaowan while she wasn't able to react, and pinched her arm secretly.
Shen Zhaowan looked puzzled and innocent: "What happened? Why did I hear a noise?"
"Huh? Why is Sister Zhao back from outside?"
"Sister Zhao, when did you go out?" A series of questions made Zhao Lan look unnatural. She was thinking of excuses quickly, but she wanted to cover her mouth directly. Wouldn't this make her mother-in-law suspicious?
But she was also very confused as to why Shen Zhaowan did not listen to her arrangements and appeared in the house now.
The mother-in-law spoke up: "Tell me, what's going on? Don't try to lie to me."
The atmosphere froze.
Zhao Lan took the lead in explaining: "Mother-in-law, you know my temper."
Shen Zhaowan still looked confused and there was no sign of flaw. Even her mother-in-law couldn't find any trace of deception.
"In the end what happened?"
Now that the housekeeper already knows about it, do you really think that a few days of flattery will make her completely let down her guard and trust an outsider?
She saw that Shen Zhaowan's shoes were clean, and people were arranged in the direction where Shen Zhaowan was going to escape, but no unexpected news came.
That's why she didn't panic.
Of course, you can also say no, she has been testing it for a long time, or she finds it interesting and has arranged people outside recently, so it would be interesting not to reveal these.
Therefore, the culprit of this farce is Zhao Lan.
"Come here, let's punish you."
Before Zhao Lan could react, two maids came and held her down. With their surprisingly strong hands, they quickly forced her to sit down and took off her shoes and socks.
Shen Zhaowan finally felt happy in her heart, she just reaped what she sowed.
You have to know that Zhao Lan betrayed Shen Zhaowan and treated her as the first stone thrown into the lake. Everything was in chaos for a long time before Zhao Lan could leave.
In the original plot, it was Shen Zhaowan who was tortured. Needles were pushed into her toenails. She was in so much pain that she was dying, and all ten toes were in excruciating pain!
Now, give it all back!
Shen Zhaowan seemed to be frightened: "Mother-in-law, what did Sister Zhao do? Why did you treat her like this?"
"This is the result of running away." This sentence was both a shock to Shen Zhaowan and a warning to Zhao Lan.
"You are also stupid." Seeing Shen Zhaowan still not figuring things out, the housekeeper couldn't help but say, "You still trust her so much?"
Shen Zhaowan's face turned red when she heard this.
Zhao Lan screamed in pain: "Mother-in-law, you misunderstood me."
"Granny, give me another chance."
Zhao Lan's toes were bleeding and cold sweat was on her forehead.
"Shen Zhaowan, please explain it to me."
"...Ah?" Shen Zhaowan seemed to be frightened by her appearance. She took a few steps back and turned her face away, not daring to look at her.
Shen Zhaowan turned her head away and listened to the screams of pain, feeling very refreshed, with a satisfied smile flashing in her eyes.
During this torture session, the mother-in-law in charge stayed until it was over and then tied up Zhao Lan and took her away.
Zhao Lan, who was thrown to the ground, not only endured the pain in her feet, but also wanted to rush to Shen Zhaowan to question her why she treated her like this?
Her eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that the pain in her body had made her almost faint.
After this incident, although the number of guards did not increase, they were still monitored more closely.
Shen Zhaowan was not affected at all. She knew that next, the housekeeper would take her to a remote place.
A day later, Shen Zhaowan heard a piece of news from the man who came back from shopping - the nearby city was about to be captured, and three parties were already fighting outside.
What’s even worse for the housekeeper is that she finally found a wealthy buyer, but he died accidentally.
As a result, she didn't have any extra time to make any plans. If those people came here, it would be a question whether she could survive.
Soon, she decided to transfer the rest of the imprisoned men and women. As for Shen Zhaowan, she was reluctant to send her away.
She always felt that she would get a lot of wealth with the help of Shen Zhaowan.
She thought of Zhao Lan again, the eloquent girl who was also thinking about escaping, and she was also struggling for the time being.
When the first group of people were sent away, Shen Zhaowan was locked in the house and did not see it, but she asked Xiaobai to give them a sharp weapon that was easy to hide and could cut the rope.
This was all she could do. As for the choice, it was up to them. Those who were brave would find a chance to escape. It was a gamble to see if they could survive.
However, half a day after the person left, the housekeeper hurriedly brought two helpers, opened Shen Zhaowan's door, and prepared to take her away.
In addition, she still brought Zhao Lan with her.
It seems that he was attracted by Zhao Lan's tactfulness.
Just five people were led by her to travel through the deep mountains and forests.
No wonder she wasn't worried that someone would actually run away. The surrounding environment was too complicated, and she felt dizzy from running around all the time.
Zhao Lan had an injury on her foot and couldn't walk more than a few steps, so she had to be carried by someone to continue on her journey.
After a while, Shen Zhaowan and Zhao Lan put the black hoods on their heads again.
As time passed, I didn't know how long I had been walking, but my feet felt sore.
Then he and Zhao Lan were stuffed into a small sedan chair and carried for a long time. The trees next to them rustled past the outside of the sedan chair.
After walking like this for three days and visiting many places, Shen Zhaowan suddenly felt like stopping.
Looks like we've arrived!
As expected, the housekeeper urged: "Come down."
Shen Zhaowan bent down and stood up first, deliberately stepping on Zhao Lan.
"what!……"
A scream instantly burst out of her throat.
It hurt so much that I couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Shen Zhaowan apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister Zhao, I can't see, it was really an accident." Even after saying this, she stepped on it a few more times.
She thought about crippling or killing the housekeeper and others, but she couldn't beat them now and didn't want to waste points on them.
The housekeeper pulled Shen Zhaowan and Zhao Lan and kept walking. This time, it seemed like they were walking from one wolf den into another.
