She had grown a bit tired of the peaceful days. Tang Mo decided to find herself some excitement.
"Since you’re willing, that saves us a lot of trouble. Let’s go."
It was nothing new for a woman in the apocalypse to sell herself for a meal.
The men took Tang Mo for someone who knew how to adapt to the circumstances and instantly relaxed.
Tang Mo said nothing, simply following obediently behind them. They left the road and boarded a dilapidated minibus hidden in the tall grass.
It was a miracle that such a decrepit vehicle could still run. No wonder Tang Mo hadn’t noticed these men earlier.
’I was too careless,’ Tang Mo silently reminded herself. ’I have to be more observant from now on.’
Tang Mo and the little girl sat in the back row, while the men drove and smoked in the front.
Although they didn’t bring back any food or Crystal Stones from this trip, they had brought back a decent-looking young woman. All in all, it was a gain. The men were in a pretty good mood, even humming a little tune.
The little girl clutched her injured arm with one hand, unable to stop herself from stealing glances at Tang Mo.
Finally, she couldn’t hold back any longer. With her uninjured hand, she grabbed Tang Mo and traced letters into her palm with a fingertip.
Don’t go. Danger.
’This little girl looks to be only five or six, yet she knows how to write!’
This surprised Tang Mo. She didn’t seem like a child these coarse men could have raised. She must have been abducted recently.
Tang Mo squeezed the little girl’s hand in return, looked her in the eyes, and nodded.
Trust me. I will save you.
That was the message Tang Mo’s eyes conveyed.
The little girl gazed into Tang Mo’s deep eyes and was momentarily stunned.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt like the wound on her arm from the dagger wasn’t as painful anymore.
Of course, it wasn’t her imagination. It was Tang Mo’s spiritual power healing at work.
Otherwise, with that much blood loss, the child would have soon lost her arm.
How could Tang Mo stand by and watch the life of a child just a few years old be ruined?
Those men certainly wouldn’t care about the girl’s injury. As long as she didn’t die, they’d be thrilled if the wound got worse. A permanent disability would be even better, as it would let them extort more money next time.
The little girl was only a few years old. Since being abducted, it had been a long time since she had felt any care or love.
Tang Mo’s concern just now had made her want to cry, which was why she couldn’t help but try to warn this kind big sister.
She had seen the fates of too many women in that house, and she didn’t want this big sister, whom she liked, to end up the same way.
However, she found she couldn’t quite understand the look in this big sister’s eyes.
Unlike the dead, ashen eyes of those other women, this big sister’s eyes held a light.
