Chapter 160 I'm Here to Save You
"I'm going to die! I'm about to be beaten to death! Grandma, please, let me go back and clean the chamber pots!"
"Go back to guard the gate."
Liao Jian dared not say anything more and returned to the cave entrance with a bitter face.
Little did he know that Jiang Mianmian had given all the strong men in Taoyuan the task of "beating Liao Jian," and after his tearful plea, the reward was doubled!
For a period of time afterward, the men of Taoyuan were overjoyed.
The schedule has completely changed to:
Beat Liao Jian while eating and sleeping, beat Liao Jian while eating and working, beat Liao Jian while eating and bathing!
Jiang Mianmian returned to the inn, just as the waiter brought up dinner.
"Let's take the water away too."
She opened the door and gave instructions.
She emptied half the water from the bathtub and poured it into Taoyuan, then sprinkled some soil in to make it look like it had been used. Knowing it was a shady establishment, why would she possibly use anything from there?
The waiter put down the dinner and told someone to take the water downstairs. "Then come find me if you need anything, sir."
"I don't think I ordered any food? What's this?"
Jiang Mianmian looked at the bowl of meat porridge on the table with a puzzled expression.
The waiter said casually, "Is this your first time here? We provide a free meal for all guests who stay overnight at our restaurant. It's not a lavish meal, but we want you to have a hot and comfortable meal."
"I see, thank you very much, sir."
Jiang Mianmian saw the person out, closed the door, and her smile vanished instantly.
She caught a chicken from Taoyuan.
soon--
Chicken pecking at rice porridge, chicken dizzy.
Ha, as expected, free things are always the most expensive!
If it were another girl, she might already be unconscious.
Jiang Mianmian put the meat porridge in the warehouse, thinking she might need it later, leaving only an empty bowl on the table, and then pretended to faint while lying on the table.
Not long after, there was a commotion outside the door.
With a creak, two footsteps, one heavy and one light, drew closer.
"I knew this girl was so naive and easy to fool. It's not even dark yet, and she's already fainted. Quick, tie her up and take her to the market."
As expected of Aunt Cai!
"Didn't you say she has connections with the Yuan family? What if the Yuan family takes their anger out on us?"
"You believe everything she says? If she were really that important to the Yuan family, how could she have fallen on hard times? She must be trying to curry favor with them! If you're scared, then don't do it!"
"Hey, why are you getting so worked up over just a few words? Let's go, let's go."
As they talked, the two helped Jiang Mianmian up and led her outside.
Jiang Mianmian squinted slightly, wondering where she was going, but as soon as she stepped out of the back door of the inn, she turned into the house next door.
That's just... outrageous...
"Alright, close it here. There's another empty one."
"Come on, let's go eat."
The two men put her in a cage, locked the cage door, and left.
After a while, someone inside the room began to sob softly.
There was also a faint smell of blood and stench.
Jiang Mianmian sat up and saw a row of iron cages around her. She immediately understood what the "vegetable market" that "Auntie Cai" was talking about was all about!
These iron cages are full of girls around ten years old. Two of them have lost their arms and their wounds are still bloody!
This is treating people like vegetables! No wonder it's called a vegetable market, no wonder people call it "Vegetable Auntie"!
The one crying is one of the girls who lost her left arm.
"Don't cry, sprinkle this on the wound, it will stop the bleeding."
Jiang Mianmian threw her a bottle of hemostatic medicine.
"You, hiccup, how did you wake up?"
The girl hiccuped as she cried, her wide eyes quickly filling with tears again. "Do you have any painkillers? I'm in so much pain, waaaah!"
"Yes, take one."
"She's just a little girl," Jiang Mianmian thought, "that's not too much of a problem." She took out a medicine bottle and a bottle of water, and was about to throw them at her.
Someone nearby said sarcastically, "Oh, so this is a savior. How big are his sleeves to hide so much stuff? If he's so capable, how did he get caught? Could he be plotting something?"
"Yes, I am the savior, here to save the innocent, so everyone should keep their voices down, lest we be discovered and I won't be able to save you."
Jiang Mianmian was too lazy to waste words; she just wanted to quickly accumulate merit points!
He simply got up, put the cage and key into the warehouse, and walked directly to the injured girl. "Here, you eat first."
This move startled everyone in the room.
The little girl stopped crying and asked blankly, "You...you're a fairy?"
"It's a long story, just think of me as a fairy, now take your medicine!"
Jiang Mianmian put away her cage and walked over to another injured little girl. "You eat too."
After giving the two men their medication, she began gathering clues from the others, asking, "Were you all abducted, or what happened here?"
The others saw her as a lifeline, throwing themselves against the cage and crying, "Fairy, please save me!"
"Please, immortal, make my cage disappear and let me out. I was kidnapped, and I don't want to be eaten."
"Waaaaah, help me, fairy! I was sold by my stepmother! Please let me go! My father will definitely repay you by marrying me!"
Jiang Mianmian: "..."
No need for that, thank you.
Even that sarcastic woman started crying, though her voice was too loud.
Startled, Jiang Mianmian chopped her unconscious with a single chop to the neck. "I told you to keep your voices down!"
Even though she was moving very fast, she could still hear footsteps outside.
"Don't expose yourself!"
Jiang Mianmian scurried back to her original position and took out the cage the instant the door was opened.
A tall, burly man walked in, his face stern as he scanned the room. "What's going on? Who was yelling just now?"
No one dared to speak; they all lowered their heads and shrank back.
The man grabbed the nearest cage and shook it hard twice. "Damn it, are you all mute? Believe me or not, I'll eat you all tonight!"
"Yes, it was because my wound hurt too much that I cried a couple of times."
The girl with the severed hand struggled to suppress her fear, saying, "I'm sorry, I'll be quiet."
She didn't want to stand up, but the words 'to be eaten' were too terrifying. If no one spoke up, she might still be dragged out and have her flesh taken!
It hurt so much to be chopped down like that; she'd rather die than go through it again.
The image of her injury flashed through her mind, and she suddenly paused, wondering if her arm had really stopped hurting after taking the medicine? And the blood had stopped dripping out!
She was secretly delighted, but dared not show it. She quickly turned her body to the side, pretending to be afraid and respectful, and dared not raise her head.
The man glared at her. "Alright, you'd better come to your senses sooner rather than later. If you came with me, you could avoid all this physical suffering. I can't save you from this pitiful state!"
His tone wasn't as angry anymore.
He grabbed a stick from the corner, walked straight to Jiang Mianmian's cage, stuck the stick inside, and lifted her face. "Oh, another little beauty! Wake up, I'm here to save you!"
