Chapter 323 - 323 The Abducted Woman
323 The Abducted Woman
Old Li, the village chief, finally realized it was not the right time to force things. He hadn’t even checked He Xun’s family background!
Naturally, they shouldn’t cause any ruckus. Old Li finished the wine in one gulp and then pointed the bottom of the glass at He Xun.
“Big Brother, look, I have drunk it all! This shows that we really welcome you two!”
“Thank you, village chief.” He Xun’s complexion was already horrible. He sat on the stool without moving an inch while simultaneously emitting a kind of overbearing dignity.
Old Li clapped his hands again and said, “Serve the dishes! Everyone, bring out the delicious food!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few girls from the village came in with plates.
Chen Wei’er watched as they placed the plates in front of her. However, her eyes were not on the dishes, but on the young women. She wanted to know if any of these women had been forced to remain here.
At this moment, a thin woman accidentally spilled the contents of the plate she was carrying on Chen Wei’er!
“Ah!” The boiling hot soup landed on her body. Chen Wei’er cried out in pain. It lasted for a bit. It could be seen that Chen Wei’er was really scalded.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” The thin woman hurriedly came to wipe Chen Wei’er. In her clumsy and panicked movements, Chen Wei’er inadvertently caught a glimpse of a red mark on the other party’s neck that was covered by her hair.
That was the mark left by someone using a rope!
Chen Wei’er’s expression changed. She carefully looked at the thin woman who was half-squatting in front of her and wiping her clothes with a rag.
The thin woman’s clothes were also tattered, and her skin was exposed in some places. A large part of her arm was bare. Through it, Chen Wei’er noticed a tattoo on the thin woman’s body.
Although it was technically a tattoo, the mark was actually just a short line of letters.
Chen Wei’er stared at it for a while and realized that the letters weren’t English, but French!
When she was in college, Chen Wei’er had chosen to study French as a minor language, so she could roughly recognize it. In this village, someone had a tattoo in French…
Chen Wei’er didn’t even need to rack her brains. She was instantly certain that this thin woman definitely didn’t originate from the village.
At this time, Chen Wei’er suddenly felt something being stuffed into her hand.
Chen Wei’er’s eyes widened. The thin woman also raised her head and looked at Chen Wei’er with tears in her eyes. That earnest hope in the other party’s eyes broke her heart.
“It’s alright. Just be careful.” She nodded without changing her expression.
“Thank you,” the thin woman said as her tears rolled down.
Wang Hua quickly pulled the thin woman away.
“You’re so clumsy. You can’t even hold the plate properly. Get lost!” As she spoke, Wang Hua avoided Chen Wei’er’s probing eyes and smiled apologetically, “I’m really sorry. This is a daughter-in-law from our village. She has not been very smart since she’s young. I guess it’s because her family is poor, so she is a bit silly. She has always been like this. She doesn’t know how to handle things!”
“I’m fine.” Chen Wei’er casually waved her hand and leaned toward He Xun.
“What’s wrong?” He Xun asked as he half-hugged his wife.
Chen Wei’er leaned into He Xun’s arms. With so many eyes staring at her, she naturally couldn’t speak.
“I just want to go to the toilet…” Chen Wei’er whispered.
“I’ll go with you. Excuse me, where’s the nearest bathroom?” He Xun stood up and asked Wang Hua.
Wang Hua’s eyes rolled a few times before she pointed to a courtyard next to her.
“Let’s go to Sixth Brother’s house. You can use his toilet. His house is the closest.”
“Alright.” Chen Wei’er wasn’t actually gonna use the toilet, so she naturally wasn’t picky. She pulled He Xun up and walked in the direction Wang Hua pointed.
A few young men stood up at the same time and followed the two of them to Sixth Brother’s house.
Chen Wei’er silently lowered her eyes. This group of people was really consistent. They had to monitor everywhere they went.
Were they no longer hiding?
He Xun followed Chen Wei’er into the bathroom, but those people didn’t follow him in. After all, there weren’t that many people.
Chen Wei’er quickly took out the note that was stuffed into her hand. Under the dim moonlight, she could clearly read the words on it.
[Help!]
“Who gave you this?” He Xun was stunned for a moment.
“Did you see the thin woman who spilled soup on me just now? She was the one who stuffed it into my hands. She must have been abducted and sold here!”
Then, Chen Wei’er lowered her voice and continued, “I found three girls. They should have been kidnapped. The thin woman who spilled the soup on me, the one wearing a white shirt while carrying a child, and the one with short hair.”
