Chapter 748 - Period was Here (2/2)

That was why this was called mining gold. If gold was so easy to be found, there would not be so many people here.

She wiped the sweat on her forehead. The bright sun shone down, and her forehead was filled with sweat, but down at her feet below the water, it was freezing cold.

There had bound to be a few days for the woman. During the three months on the boat, she herself did not know how she endured through it. She only knew that her pants got wet and dried up before they got wet again. Luckily, she was wearing dark blue pants; and other than the bloody smell from her body, one could not tell that there was something wrong with her.

She held her stomach and endured the pain below her abdomen. Finally, the blood flowed down from her leg. The icy cold feeling made her break out in cold sweat, and her feet and hands were cold.

She could not take it and went ashore. The fat lady in charge of them started yelling at her, and even though Xia Ruoxin did not know what she was saying, she knew that she had to go down to the river.

Every step she took forward, the woman’s face got darker.

Suddenly, the woman took a wooden stick and hit her shoulder. Xia Ruoxin endured the pain and whimpered while the blood flowed down her pants.

She endured the pain, pointed at her stomach before pointing to the blood on the floor.

The woman squinted and looked pissed off before she raised the stick in her hands and hit Xia Ruoxin with it. Xia Ruoxin was scared of the pain and could only walk backward until she was in the water. At that moment, the icy cold feeling traveled up from her leg and had cramped her abdomen. Her body shivered, and she felt a stinging pain starting from her lower abdomen.

Shen Wei behind her hurriedly helped her up.

“What’s the matter?”

Xia Ruoxin smiled bitterly. “Nothing much. My period is here, and it hurts.”

Shen Wei held her arm tightly and did not know what to say. Other than the women she was with, the others that came earlier had already been tanned; and one could no longer tell what they looked like originally as they carried on their repeated movements.

With one hand holding her stomach, Xia Ruoxin tugged Shen Wei’s sleeves tightly. “Don’t stand and do nothing, the people will notice.” As expected, the fat woman had noticed them; and irritation had flashed in her eyes. Afterward, she held the stick up with her thick fingers and hit against her own palm from time to time, warning them which was enough for them to gulp in fear.

Xia Ruoxin held Shen Wei’s hand and hurriedly get back to work. Then, the fat woman put down the stick and started shaking her head. There was an umbrella on the top of her head, and she was drinking water while munching on nuts.

Xia Ruoxin’s stomach was in pain until she could die, but she could only endure it. In no time, her clothes were almost drenched; and she broke out in quite a lot of cold sweat.

When she looked at the other people, they were the same; but theirs was hot sweat and hers was cold.

By the afternoon, she was so tired until she could not lift her arms. The sun was right above her and was the hottest weather in a day. The weather here was pretty weird as it was hot in the day, nearly forty degrees; but the river was freezing cold. Additionally, they still had to cover themselves with blankets at night. It did not seem scientific, but it was true.

This was a weird place that up till now, she and Shen Wei had no idea where it was.
