Chapter 754 - Have Not Broken (2/2)

At some point in time, she fell asleep too; but she did not know that Xia Ruoxin beside her did not sleep the whole time as she was in too much pain to go to sleep.

She moved her left arm. “It still can be used if I force it, too. Luckily, it didn’t break.” She mocked herself.

The other people were all asleep except for her. To her, even turning around was a problem as every part of her body felt pain as she had broken a bone. She licked her dry and bloody lip. Then, she sat up with much difficulty and got off the bed barefooted before taking the cup beside her and walking out.

It was cold at night, and the cold breeze gushed past her thin body from time to time, as if it was going to blow her away. She held her clothes tightly, and when her legs gave way, she fell onto the ground. She did not crawl up and used her cup to take some water from the not-so-clean river to drink; it could not kill people, right?

Her dry throat finally got some hydration; even though the water was hard to drink, it was still water. She seemed to be able to see Venus; just that she did not know how far it was from her home country. How long must she walk to reach there? How long must she wait to go back?

Chu Lui, you must take good care of our daughter. I’m not around; you’re her only family member left.

The light in the room darkened, and she could not help but to cry and feel sour. At this time—in this soulless night, she dared to express herself. Her tears only dared to drop in this silent night.

She did not dare to show weakness and her being a coward.

She wanted to go home. She wanted to see Rainy…

She held the wall and stood up with much difficulty before holding the cup and walking inside. Sleep… no matter what, she had to continue sleeping.

When the familiar sound of getting their lives sounded on the door, Xia Ruoxin was already awake. She sat up and took her clothes to wear.

“You can go?” Shen Wei asked her worriedly. She was already in this state; could she go down to the river?

“I’m fine.” Xia Ruoxin wanted to smile, but she did not dare to have big movements. A simple expression could make her face hurt like crazy.

However, Shen Wei was still worried about her. “Do you want to lie down for a while more?”

“It’s okay. There are some things where we can’t do whatever we want.” Both of Xia Ruoxin’s legs were already on the floor, barefooted. She was used to it already.

She no longer had the right to haggle with someone and the right to recuperate. If she wanted to survive here, she had to work for it and give them gold.

She did not think that she had some special treatment as she knew that these people were heartless. Since they could buy slaves with money, they could beat them, scold them, and even kill them however they wanted; no one could stop them.

As expected, when she walked out, the fat woman’s laser eyes scanned her from head to toe, clearly.

When she took her tools and went down to the water, the coldness of it pricked her legs like needles. She endured it.

She raised her left arm and used all the strength she could muster. After a while, she broke out in sweat; and this day, she did not get much reward.

These people were obviously defensive against her as she had to be searched once again by these people who would touch her reputation away. She swallowed back the tears in her eyes.

She would not say that justice was in the hearts of the people as there was simply no justice to speak of in this world. The person who talked about justice was long dead.
