Chapter 52: Fifty-one, remote mountain village

The boat traveled on the river for three days, and finally docked ashore.

At a glance, all one could see were the lush, green overlapping mountains.

Luo Shu and her companions were led ashore, following a winding mountain path for over two hours before they finally saw a small village.

Although the houses in Luo Family Village seemed dilapidated to Luo Shu, it wasn’t until she saw the houses here that she understood what true disrepair was. Most of the houses were built with mud and stones, and some had collapsed halfway due to lack of maintenance, yet people still lived in them.

Seeing so many women arrive in the village all at once, the single men’s eyes sparkled with eagerness, as if they couldn’t wait to snatch one up and take her home to warm their beds.

This village, being deeply nestled in the mountains and exceedingly poor, had no women willing to marry into it. Over time, the bachelors of the village, in order to continue their family line, could only buy wives from other places. Thus, the buying and selling of women and children had long since ceased to surprise anyone here.

The Scarred Man led Luo Shu and her group to a dilapidated courtyard.

He stepped forward and gently knocked three times on the courtyard door, paused for two seconds, and then knocked twice more.

With a creak, a short man dressed in a threadbare patched cotton-padded coat, covered in filth, opened the door.

Seeing the Scarred Man, the short man’s face lit up with a delighted smile, “Brother Heizi, you’re back!”

“Yeah, Haozi, is the boss inside?” the Scarred Man asked as he stepped into the courtyard.

“He’s in the main room. Brother Heizi, this batch of goods looks pretty good,” the rat-like small-eyed man scanned Luo Shu and her group, occasionally showing a sleazy smile.

“You go and contact the buyers. Also, for that woman,” the Scarred Man pointed at Luo Shu, “see if there are any brothers who are all still without wives and sell her to them.” Although Luo Shu had been cooperative these past two days, he always felt that keeping her was troublesome. It would be better to sell her off quickly, to avoid any long nights full of dreams.

Haozi followed the direction pointed by the Scarred Man and saw Luo Shu, his eyes instantly lighting up. Even though Luo Shu’s face was covered in dust, she was the most beautiful among these abducted women. Moreover, her skin was not as sallow as the other women’s; it was pale and tender, seemingly able to squeeze out water.

“That woman is so beautiful, isn’t it a waste to sell her as a Shared Wife to a few brothers?” Haozi retracted his gaze and looked at the Scarred Man with some confusion. This top-quality beauty should be sold to the big bosses; she would definitely fetch a high price.

“Stop the nonsense and just do what I told you,” the Scarred Man said with a stern face, glaring at Haozi before walking toward the main room.

He knew that with Luo Shu’s appearance, she would definitely fetch a good price, but the Lin Family was not someone they could afford to provoke. Plus, once Luo Shu was sold, he still had to report back to that woman. That woman had promised him that once he finished this task, she would give him a sum of money as a reward.

“Get in!” The men behind the Scarred Man pushed Luo Shu and her companions into the courtyard.

The courtyard wasn’t very large; besides a main room, there was only a kitchen and two other rooms. Although rundown, compared to the other houses in the village, it was relatively decent, at least not collapsed.

Luo Shu and her group were taken into one of the rooms, only to find that there were five or six other women inside, none of whom seemed very old.

After glancing over the several women in the room, Luo Shu noticed that one of them was different from the rest. Although she curled up in a corner of the room with a fearful expression on her face, her eyes held a calm indifference. Clearly, her fear was feigned.

Luo Shu noticed the woman was looking at her. The woman furrowed her brow slightly, lowered her head, and feigned fear by burying her face between her knees.

Luo Shu curled her lips into a smile, found a spot to sit down, and closed her eyes to cultivate once more. After several days of cultivation, her Inner Qi had broken through a layer. If she wanted to leave, the trash outside couldn’t stop her.

Feeling Luo Shu’s gaze leave her, the woman raised her head to look at Luo Shu and saw that Luo Shu had her eyes closed, a trace of surprise flickered in her eyes. Could it be that she was like her, also sent from there?

Before long, the door of the room was pulled open again, and a middle-aged man with a limp and a fierce expression on his face walked in following the Scarred Man.

The middle-aged man glanced over the faces of Luo Shu’s group, finally resting his eyes on Luo Shu, “Is she the one you mentioned?”

The Scarred Man nodded, “Big brother, she’s no ordinary girl. If it weren’t for her, those three women wouldn’t have escaped. Plus, the sedative seems to have no effect on her.” The thought of the escaped women made his teeth itch with hatred.

The middle-aged man frowned, “Bring her with us tomorrow.” He wasn’t curious that the sedative was ineffective on Luo Shu; some people were naturally immune to drugs, and he had seen one before.

“But, big brother…”

The Scarred Man wanted to say more, but the middle-aged man interrupted him with a raise of his hand, “That’s the decision.”

The night was cool as water, after a cold and lengthy night.

The next morning, Luo Shu and another woman were taken out of the mountain village by the middle-aged man and the Scarred Man. Coincidentally, that woman was the one Luo Shu had noticed was different from the others the day before.

After more than two hours on a mountain road, the middle-aged man and Luo Shu’s group got into a truck that had been waiting for a long time.

The truck jolted along the road, and as it was getting close to dusk, it slowed down.

To Luo Shu’s surprise, the truck drove into a very unique small western-style building.

Once the truck stopped, the Scarred Man jumped down first, and yelled at Luo Shu and the other woman in the truck, “Get off quickly!”

After Luo Shu and the other woman got off, the Scarred Man and the middle-aged man led them toward the western-style building.

“You’re finally here, Brother Wei has been getting anxious,” said a young man with a skinny build, wearing a pair of metal-rimmed glasses as he came to meet them.

“The mountain roads are tough; we were delayed a bit,” the middle-aged man said with a smile, following the young man inside.

Entering the lobby, they saw a portly middle-aged man with a jade ring on his finger, dressed in a suit with his hair combed slick and shiny, sitting on a sofa drinking tea.

As he saw the young man leading the middle-aged man and his group in, Wei Qi took a sip of tea and casually set down his teacup, “You’ve arrived.”

The middle-aged man stepped forward with a smile, “Brother Wei, sorry to keep you waiting! This time I’ve brought two top quality goods especially for you. Please take a look.” He gestured toward Luo Shu and the other woman behind him.
