At this time, the strong men outside the door were also attracted by the screams. They banged on the door and shouted, "What are you doing in there? You are making so much noise, can't you let me sleep? Are you trying to cause trouble again?"

The other three girls turned pale with fear and swarmed to the door, screaming one after another: "Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"

The sturdy man's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. These girls were his tools for making money. How would he explain to Sister Hua if one of them died?

He immediately turned around and shouted to the several strong men behind him, "Quick! Take those three people to the next room and keep an eye on them. Don't let anything go wrong again!"

When everyone in the room had left, the strong man saw that only Tang Shu and the body lying on the ground were left in the room. He muttered to himself that he had long disliked this strong-willed woman. The four girls were fine before, so why did someone die as soon as she came?

So, he asked Tang Shu unhappily, "What happened?"

Tang Shu just shrugged nonchalantly and said he knew nothing.

"Hmph! Don't think you can get away with it just because someone is protecting you! You will still have to be sold in a few days. When the time comes, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!" the sturdy man threatened viciously.

"Bah! You bastard!" Tang Shu widened her eyes and spit at the person in front of her. She knew very well that if she showed a little weakness now, the consequences would be disastrous.

"You...you little bitch! Someone protected you and didn't let me touch you, but they didn't say I couldn't hit you!"

The evil man showed a ferocious face, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh on Tang Shu's body.

Tang Shu reacted quickly and dodged to hide next to the girl lying next to him.

However, she still failed to completely avoid the opponent's clutches and was pinched several times.

The sturdy man seemed to feel that it was very unlucky to be separated from him by a corpse, and turned away cursing.

In less than two minutes, he came back with an unknown powder in his hand. Without saying a word, he poured it on the girl's head and left the room cursing.

The room became quiet again, with only Tang Shu and the girl left.

Tang Shu waited for a long time, and when he was sure that no one would come in, he tiptoed closer to the girl and felt her breath. Her breath was so weak that he could hardly feel it, and he didn't know if she was still breathing. Seeing the girl lying lifelessly on the cold ground, Tang Shu felt sad, and quickly carried her to the bed and gently covered her with the worn quilt.

After doing all this, she was already exhausted and panting, her body seemed to be falling apart. She walked to the bed with heavy steps, found a place in the corner to lie down, and then fell asleep in a daze.

"Ho~ho~"

Tang Shu knew that the current situation was not safe, so she slept lightly. When she heard the strange sound, she woke up immediately and quickly got up from the bed.

When she stood up, she was surprised to find that the person opposite her, who had woken up at some point, was staring at her intently. The person's eyes were wide open, revealing a strange expression.

Tang Shu was a little scared, but he still mustered up the courage to ask: "Are you...are you okay?"

The girl's face was covered in blood and her complexion was unusually red. She nodded with difficulty when she heard Tang Shu's question, while holding something tightly in her hand and mumbling something. As the distance was too far, Tang Shu couldn't hear the specific content of what she said, so he walked forward a few steps.

When he got closer to the girl, Tang Shu finally heard her words clearly: "I'm dying. This is my family portrait. You must escape and say sorry to my parents for me. I'm so unfilial and I let them down. Tell them not to be sad for me in the future and just treat me as if they don't have a daughter..."

Tang Shu looked closely and saw that he was holding a strange thing in his hand. It looked like the watch worn by the educated youth in the village before. However, this watch had a cover, which was printed with a photo of four people, one of whom was the man in front of him.

"Where is your home? I don't know if I can escape now, but if there is a chance, I will definitely help you." Tang Shu saw that she was having difficulty speaking and thought that this person might not live long.

"Qitong County, Yingshan Town Commune... My name is Qi Xiaoyue... Go find Qi Dawei, he is my brother... Take this, he will take you to meet my parents... You... You... You must convey my words..." Qi Xiaoyue's eyes widened, and it was difficult for her to say each word. Her speech became slower and slower.

Tang Shu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to let her go with peace of mind, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Don't lie to me, or I won't let you go even if I turn into a ghost." After Qi Xiaoyue said this, she was completely exhausted and fell on the bed next to her, motionless. The watch on her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Tang Shu picked up the pocket watch on the ground, his eyes flashing with determination and commitment: "Okay, I will definitely help you convey it to your parents. Don't worry, I will take your strength and live happily." He closed the pocket watch lid happily, as if he had completed a pleasant conversation with the deceased.

After saying that, Tang Shu reached out his hand and gently covered Qi Xiaoyue's eyes, letting her face sleep peacefully in the darkness. At this moment, there were only two of them in the room - a person and a corpse. Time passed quickly, day passed, night came, but no one came to clean up the body, let alone bring food. Occasionally, there was a slight noise outside, and then it returned to calm.

On the third morning, no one came to bring Tang Shu food. Hunger had tortured him for three days. His lips were so dry that he could hardly close them. Every drop of water in his body seemed to have evaporated. Facing the pressure of survival, other things became unimportant.

After pacing the room for several times, Tang Shu still couldn't think of a way to escape from the predicament.

However, when her eyes inadvertently swept across the large flowered bed sheet beside Qi Xiaoyue, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

She carefully removed the sheet, then tore it apart, braiding it into three braids, one end of which he then tied tightly to the sturdy foot of the bed and the other end he threw out of the window.

The world outside the window is full of unknowns and dangers, but this is also Tang Shu's only way out.

She took a deep breath, held the cloth tightly, and slid downstairs without hesitation...

Then, she climbed out of the window. The moment she climbed out of the window, she looked at the towering height of the building below, and a strong fear suddenly surged in her heart.

However, she knew clearly that she could not back down, otherwise she would be sold abroad, which would be tragic!

Despite the noise from the people below, she held on to the rope tightly, fully expecting it to go down smoothly.

Finally, the goddess of luck came to her. When her life was hanging by a thread, Tang Mei and Lin Xiao who happened to pass by found her and successfully rescued her.

"These damn guys! They must be punished by law!" After listening to Tang Shu's experience, the female police officer was furious. These actions had obviously violated the bottom line of the law, and she wanted to catch all the bad guys immediately.

Tang Shu looked at Tang Mei's expressionless face quietly. She had expected to see a face that was gloating, but she didn't. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
