Chapter 235 Hiding in the Boat
After the rope was worn off, she endured the pain and untied the rope on her legs with trembling hands.
She walked carefully to the door, pressed her ear against it, and listened to the noises outside. It was just as quiet as before, eerily quiet. She tried to turn the doorknob, but it wasn't locked, and there was a slight creak.
Perhaps the people who tied her up didn't expect her to break the rope with her bare hands, so they felt there was no need to lock her up.
Mo Yu mustered up the courage to open the door a crack. She stuck her head out and, with the dim light of the street lamp and moonlight, the hazy light fell on her face. Mo Yu knew that she was locked on the roof.
She walked out, held onto the railing on the roof, and looked around. There were low houses and large tracts of land everywhere, all hazy in the night.
"Is this a village in the city?" she murmured softly.
Mo Yu looked down and saw that the building was about two stories high. She didn't dare to jump down. If she took the stairs, she was afraid of meeting the people who had kidnapped her.
After thinking quickly, Mo Yu decided to take the stairs. She found a stick in the corner, held it tightly with both hands, held the stair railing, hunched over, and walked down carefully step by step. She took each step carefully, and the stairs made a "creaking" sound.
There was only one last flight of stairs left, and Mo Yu's heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She adjusted her breathing and rushed down.
When she stepped onto the last step of the stairs, a face suddenly appeared in front of Mo Yu.
"Hello, Miss Mo." Zhang San had a cigarette in his mouth, with smoke curling around it and a malicious smile on his face.
"Ah!" Mo Yu was so scared that she fell to the ground, and the stick in her hand fell out with a clang.
Zhang San, cigarette in hand, kicked Mo Yu on the leg and said viciously, "You're so amazing that you can escape even though you're tied up so tightly."
After saying that, Zhang San kicked Mo Yu several more times, each kick with full force, causing her to curl up on the ground in pain and unable to move. He then picked her up and threw her back into the same room.
Zhang San turned on the light, and the glaring light instantly filled the entire room. Mo Yu then saw that her hands had been rubbed so hard that the bones were exposed, and the blood and flesh were a mess, making it unbearable to look at.
Zhang San threw away the cigarette butt, crushed it with his foot, picked up a piece of cloth and wrapped it up for Mo Yu. He said roughly, "Don't ruin yourself. If I can't sell you for a good price, I'll kill you."
"Did Leng Xiyan ask you to sell me? I'll give you double what she gave you." Mo Yu endured the pain, her voice trembling slightly.
Zhang San spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, his face full of disdain: "She only asked me to send you to the dock. We want to sell you for money."
"Then can you please let me go? I can give you money and I promise not to call the police." Mo Yu's eyes were full of pleading.
"Do you think I'm easy to fool? You rich people are the most untrustworthy. If we let you go back, we'll be dead." Zhang San said viciously.
"Brother, I beg you, I won't lie to you, please let me go." Mo Yu almost cried.
"Shut up." Zhang San picked up a piece of tape and taped Mo Yu's mouth shut. His movements were quick and rough. "I'm not greedy. Three hundred thousand is enough. I'll give that idiot a maximum of fifty thousand. The rest is mine."
"Zhang San made a lot of money," Li Si rushed in with a loud voice, his face full of excitement.
"Why are you so loud, you idiot?" Zhang San jumped up and slapped Li Si.
"I was so excited that I sold her cell phone, the ring on her hand, and the necklace on her neck. Guess how much I sold them for?" Li Si didn't care about the pain on his face at all and continued to speak excitedly.
"How much?" Zhang San asked anxiously.
"I sold it for 50,000 yuan. Haha, I made a fortune. When I went to sell the rings and necklaces, the boss's eyes were shining. He asked me how much I wanted. I thought if I asked for more at the beginning, he wouldn't be able to give me that much. So I asked for less, I said 45,000 yuan, and I didn't expect him to agree. Zhang San, we made a profit." Li Si said with a smile on his face.
"You sold the phone for 5,000?" Zhang San asked.
Li Si nodded and took out a wad of money from his bag. He dipped his finger in his saliva, counted the money, and handed it to Zhang San: "Each of you, half. 25,000 is yours."
"I also bought some midnight snacks." Li Si excitedly brought in a case of beer and a few bags of barbecue. The aroma of barbecue filled the room. "Surprise, right? We haven't eaten so well in a long time."
"You are quite sensible kid." Zhang San nodded with satisfaction.
Halfway through the meal, Li Si placed a handful of barbecue and a bottle of beer in front of Mo Yu. "You've made so much money for us, we can't treat you unfairly. Zhang San, I'll untie her hands and tie her feet. The two of us will guard her so she can't run away."
Zhang San, who was already drunk at this time, was a little tongue-tied: "Untie it, untie it, I kicked her legs and broke them, she can't run away."
The two drank intermittently for most of the night, the stench of alcohol filling the room. Only when they were both drunk and lying on the floor, sprawled and snoring loudly, did Mo Yu tiptoe and untie the ropes from their feet.
Mo Yu's leg was not broken by Zhang San's kick, but it was still extremely painful. Every time she moved, it felt like thousands of needles were piercing her leg.
She bit her lips, leaving deep teeth marks on them, and walked out tremblingly and cautiously, each step being extremely difficult.
When she reached the door, she looked back. The two were still sound asleep, completely unaware of her movements. She carefully opened the door, but the old wooden door creaked as it opened, a sound that was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Hearing the sound, Zhang San frowned. Mo Yu's heart was in her throat and she rushed out despite the severe pain.
"You still dare to run?" Zhang San shouted in a daze, then stumbled out to chase after him.
Mo Yu jumped down from the building in a hurry, the wind whistling in her ears.
Mo Yu fell to the ground, and the soil and branches on the ground pierced her body. Her legs were completely broken, and her bones seemed to be dislocated. Her body was also scratched by the branches and was covered with blood. The bloodstains were shocking.
She knew that Zhang San had come down to chase her, so she dragged her broken leg, crawling and rolling forward, leaving a trail of blood behind her.
She saw what looked like a boat ahead, looming in the darkness. Enduring the pain, she moved towards the boat step by step, using up all her strength with each move.
Not far away, the sound of Zhang San's footsteps and shouting came closer and closer. Mo Yu was crying, her heart was extremely panicked, and her breathing became rapid.
Three steps, two steps, one step, Mo Yu climbed onto the boat and got into the canvas. The canvas was rough and rubbed against her wound, but she didn't care about the pain.
She held her breath, covered her mouth tightly, and dared not make any sound, her heart beating wildly in her chest. She heard Zhang San linger nearby for a while, curse a few times, and then leave.
Mo Yu's heart finally settled down when she discovered that her thigh had been cut by something. Blood was gushing out like a fountain, staining the surrounding canvas red.
Mo Yu took off her coat and wrapped it around her thighs. Her hands had grown pale and weak from the excessive blood loss, and her movements were slow. When she was done, she gasped weakly. Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss, she had no strength left in her body, and even her eyelids felt heavy.
Mo Yu stared at the dim moon in the sky, obscured by dark clouds, revealing only a faint glimmer of light. She spoke softly, "Hecheng, I may not be able to come see you. Brother, I'm sorry. I lied to you and lost the ring and necklace you gave me. Consider this my punishment." Her voice grew fainter and weaker, as if swallowed by darkness.
The moonlight shone on Mo Yu's pale face. She passed out against the bow of the boat, her body swaying slightly with the boat. There was silence all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects.
