Chapter 1389: They All Deserve to Die

Su Yun sat up from the ground abruptly, nervously looking at the father and son on the bed; she thought she had auditory hallucinations.

"Don't worry about them, they won't wake up."

Su Yun grabbed the quilt tightly, staring at the black shadow standing at the door.

Not auditory hallucinations, there really was someone.

"I am a prison warden from the Heavenly Prison in the capital, my surname is Chen, perhaps you have heard my name."

"Chen..." Su Yun was a bit confused and a bit dazed.

Only to see the other party beckoning to her, signaling her to go out and talk.

She loosened the quilt, borrowed the urgency to stand up, and walked out.

The capital, what a distant place, she had almost forgotten it.

She came to the courtyard, looked at the man standing in front of her, and suddenly realized, "You are the guest at the inn during the day. You..."

"I came from the capital, and I am still a prison warden in the Heavenly Prison. My surname is Chen, Chen Guanlou, you can call me Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen."

"Ah!" Su Yun was clearly startled, and hurriedly covered her mouth, fearing that the father and son in the house would hear the movement.

Chen Guanlou smiled at her, comforting: "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one can hurt you. You remember me, right?"

"I have heard of you. How could you know me?" Su Yun's heart was beating like a drum, nervous, excited, hopeful, and inexplicably fearful. If hope turned into despair, she probably couldn't continue, couldn't live anymore.

"After you got lost, your parents reported the case, and I saw your portrait. You... don't they give you food?"

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party's face, saying 'dried corpse' really wasn't an exaggeration. Too thin, not two taels of meat on her whole body. Even without beating, according to her current physical condition, it is estimated that she wouldn't live for a few years.

Su Yun gently touched her cheek and said softly: "Looking like this is safe, and I can live."

Nothing was said, but everything was said. Behind it were unspeakable sins and injuries. 【138

Chen Guanlou took a deep breath, "I can take you away."

"I..." Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded fiercely. She wanted to leave; she had to leave. She wanted to escape this place completely.

"Can I trust you? Are my parents doing well?"

"When you met with misfortune back then, your father, as a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was ill for a time. Now he is still serving in the Ministry of Personnel, and he has even been promoted. Your parents miss you very much."

At this moment, Su Yun was certain that the other party really came from the capital; otherwise, how could he accurately state her father's official duties?

Ten years had passed since she left home. A full ten years!

At this moment, seeing someone from her hometown, she wanted to have a good, hard cry.

Chen Guanlou gave her two sesame cakes and a flask of clean drinking water.

"Eat, and you'll have the strength. We will leave here early tomorrow morning. Is there anything you need to bring?"

"I..." Su Yun shook her head, "There is nothing to bring."

"Your child?" Chen Guanlou asked tentatively.

Upon hearing the word child, Su Yun's expression became extremely terrified, "He cannot be brought."

Her tone was very firm.

"He will betray us; he cannot be brought. Absolutely cannot bring him. He is a Great Wasteland person, and Great Wasteland people are born bad seeds. Cannot, cannot, absolutely cannot, cannot, cannot..."

She was completely in the state of a panic attack, curling her body up, looking fearful, helpless, and desperate.

"Fine, everything as you wish. You say who to bring, and we bring them."

Su Yun suddenly raised her head and grabbed Chen Guanlou's arm, "There is a woman in the An family who was also abducted from the capital; she was abducted five years ago."

"What is her surname?"

"Surname, surname Guan, yes, surname Guan. Her family are natives of the capital, and her family members serve in a great household. She was accompanying the young lady of the great household when they went out, and in order to save her young lady, she and her young lady were both abducted. She was sold into the Great Wasteland, and her young lady was sold to a town outside the Great Wasteland. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, can you save her?"

She looked on with hope.

Seeing that he did not agree immediately, she let go of his hand, "It doesn't matter if you can't save her. After I go back, I will tell her family and let them know her whereabouts. I hope the great household will send people to save them."

"I didn't say I wouldn't save her!"

Chen Guanlou pacified her, "Tell me her address."

"I will take you there."

"No need. Pack two pieces of luggage, and I will take you away right now."

"There is no luggage; just pack two pieces of clothing."

Su Yun took a fierce bite of the sesame cake, collected the clothes drying under the eaves, bundled them up, wrapped them in a piece of cloth, put on straw sandals, and followed him away.

They first went to the An family to identify the door, and then Chen Guanlou took Su Yun back to the inn.

Su Yun was very afraid, subconsciously retreating and assuming a posture of running away at any time.

Chen Guanlou pacified her, "Don't be afraid! The inn has already been controlled by me, and they cannot wake up."

Having said that, he tried to stretch out his hand to show he was harmless.

Su Yun followed him into the inn's main gate, trembling, looking around with a vigilant expression. She held her bundle tightly, her body tense. If anything went wrong, she would run.

She had run before, and not just once.

The countless scars on her body told her how terrifying the people here were. Even a three-year-old child could not be trusted.

They were all bad seeds!

Hongyun Inn was the town's open human trafficking den, and countless people were sold from here.

"They are all guilty! They all deserve to die! They not only traffic humans, they also kill people; they have killed countless people, and they deserve to die ten thousand times! They even sell human meat buns."

Su Yun said viciously.

Chen Guanlou frowned immediately, "Human meat buns, are you sure? I consider myself to have some ability to distinguish, and I haven't discovered anything unusual."

Su Yun gritted her teeth and said, "They are afraid of you, so of course they dare not make a move against you. There are people in the mountains who are addicted... every once in a while they will come down the mountain to eat their specially made buns, which are all human meat buns. Are you wondering how I know? Because I help them with their accounts, and I found clues in the account books. They all deserve to die."

Chen Guanlou's expression was gloomy, "Since you hate them so much, why do you still help them with their accounts?"

Su Yun sneered, laying out all the ugliness, "Because I want to live! I don't want to become a human meat bun. Helping them with accounts gives me leverage in this town. As long as I am useful to them for one day, I can survive.

Do you know what happens to women abducted here? Giving birth, giving birth non-stop. Until the body breaks down and can no longer give birth, they are forced to receive guests to earn money. When they can no longer earn money, they must die! Not a single woman abducted here has lived to be forty years old.

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, look at me. I was abducted when I was thirteen, and it has been exactly ten years until this year. I am twenty-three this year, but I look like I am forty-three. If I were like the other women, only able to rely on selling my body to earn money, I would already be dead. I can't be sold!"

"Fortunately, I have been reading and writing since I was a child. I can do accounts, and I do it better than anyone local, which is why I can live with a little dignity and don't have to sell my body to survive. Miss Guan is almost at her limit; she has given birth to four children in five years, and her body is almost ruined. Soon, she will be sent out by the An family to receive guests. In a few years, she will be thrown under the cliff."
