Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

"If you're sleepy, just sleep a little longer."

As he spoke, he pushed the hand on his head hard.

"As for you! Get out of the car quickly!"

"...No! Sleep for another 10 minutes..."

With a cry of surprise, Elena fiercely removed the restraints on her body.

After a period of confusion, the three girls finally overcame their sleepiness.

Looking carefully at the two little girls in front of her, Elena suddenly felt a sense of warmth even though they were in a cell.

Although it was difficult for these two little girls to be of any help, after a day of getting along with each other, Elena could no longer treat them as strangers and not care about their safety.

However, there was no progress at all in how to escape. Instead, the goal changed from escaping by oneself to carrying two small "encumbrances". It can be said that the difficulty has changed from hell to crazy.

I also wanted to prepare in advance, but things didn't always go smoothly, so I had to play it by ear.

……

Soon, it was time to leave.

There was the sound of the lock cylinder turning outside the door, and the door was suddenly opened.

The light coming from outside the door suddenly made Elena unable to open her eyes. She squinted her eyes and saw that the same old man and the strong man who were the bodyguards came in from yesterday.

This time, Elena focused her observations more on the strong man behind. He was nearly two meters tall, wearing a simple leather coat. His exposed limbs had dark skin, and his muscular arms were actually thicker than her thighs. , with a machete on his waist, his face expressionless, but his eyes as fierce and cloudy as a wild beast.

Elena trembled when she caught the eye and didn't dare to look any further.

The old man still walked over slowly, but spoke very crisply:

"Very well, you didn't cause any trouble yesterday."

"So, you can enjoy breakfast before setting off today...at the very least."

"I hope it will continue in the future. As long as we don't make a fuss, we will suffer less... In the past, every time we arrived at the destination, we would have to lose a few people. This is also very difficult for me."

Naturally, those who are missing cannot be released.

The old man showed a sinister smile, glanced at the three little girls, turned and left.

The old man repeatedly emphasized not to get into trouble, but Elena felt that making one or two mistakes would not put her life in danger. After all, there were only three of them, and one less would mean a loss of one-third... Karei had not been punished before. .

It’s just that you can’t be tempted again and again, you must seize the opportunity.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Elena always felt that the old man seemed to be looking at the three people, but in fact, all his attention was focused on herself.

The three of them were quickly taken into another room by those who came in later. There were simple tables and chairs, and three small bowls on the table.

Obviously, this is today's breakfast.

The small bowl contained half a bowl of thin paste mixed with a few vegetable leaves, and the amount was very small. It seemed that it could only be regarded as the minimum.

The taste in the mouth is really not that good, there is no salty taste, and there are many small pieces of hard-to-bite tubers in the paste.In the eyes of modern people, it is really not easy to enter.

My body, which had been hungry for a day or maybe longer, didn't feel this way. It swallowed the food quickly and honestly, and even felt that I could have two more bowls.

The three of them quickly finished half the bowl.

"How is it, am I doing well?"

Ka Lei, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't help but whisper, with an indescribable satisfaction on her face.

I don’t think it’s a difficult request to not talk or make a fuss.

However, Elena still nodded to indicate that she did a good job and touched her head.

"I'm older than you, I'm the older sister."Ka Lei turned her head away with a look of struggle, stretched out her hand and tried to touch her head in the opposite direction.

Elena dodged away, snorted, and said with a smile:

"A person who needs to be mature is a sister."

Ka Lei stood in front, compared their heights, and said proudly:

"Obviously I'm more mature!"

"I mean spirit!"

Elena retorted while dodging the incoming hands.Act like "you can't touch me."

"Let me touch it!"

"do not want!"

"Just one click!"

"They all said don't...ahhaha...where are you scratching! Don't...haha..."

"Hmph, I found a weakness!"

Watching the two people fighting together intently, Lini, who was sitting on the side, could not help but slightly curling her lips.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and looked at Elena carefully with some panic. After carefully comparing the heights of the two for a long time, she seemed to be sure of something, and she breathed a sigh of relief and murmured:

"I... I just want to be my sister..."

……

Soon, the time to set off will come.

The three little girls left the room, temporarily guarded by two guards.

Ahead is a long convoy being repaired, consisting of dozens of oxcarts and several horse-drawn carriages. Through some signs and personnel, it can be clearly seen that it consists of several different caravans.

At a glance, there are nearly a hundred people working, some are unloading and loading, some are feeding the cattle, and some are stopping to eat.

Elena's eyes lit up. The more complicated it was, the easier it was to make mistakes. Maybe she could consider joining another team.

The old man who seemed to be the leader and his guards were talking to several pot-bellied businessmen in the distance. The person talking to them was a middle-aged man holding a horse.

After observing carefully, Elena came to Ka Lei and said:

"Can you see where this place is?"

"No... no." Ka Lei looked a little guilty and said hurriedly:

“Perhaps after walking for a while, you can recognize it when you see the sign.”

Elena was a little disappointed, but she patted the girl's shoulder gently.

"Now there is an opportunity," she said softly to the two girls:

"If we can get away from the two guards, blend into the crowd, and then run into the forest, they will not be able to find us for a while."

"As long as they can't find it for a while, they will definitely have to give up - such a convoy will not stay in one place for too long."

It's too dangerous to go on your own. If possible, it would be best to wait until they give up before finding a way to get into the convoy.

If they miss this opportunity, they will probably be looked at badly on the road. The next opportunity will be during the short period of time after entering the city to unload the goods.

Volume 4: [-]. Cold Heart

After roughly analyzing her thoughts and the current situation, Ka Lei also whispered:

"Good idea! Then let's find a chance to run away later!"

On the surface, the girl was looking for a response, but in fact, the desire and expectation in her eyes were beyond her control, and she obviously wanted to act immediately.

Lini on the side also had a bit of expectation in her eyes.

I actually want to find a better time...

Elena looked at them like this and suddenly realized that they were different from her. They were really little girls of their age, and they might not have received much education.

It is difficult for them to understand the current situation and the possible consequences of rash actions, and they cannot give any useful advice. Instead, they will become impatient when they hear that there is hope of escape.

"hold on."

Elena observed the two guards nearby: they looked much more normal than the strong guard, and they did not carry any weapons.They were talking quietly at this time, looking over from time to time, and then looking away when there was no movement.

Even without a weapon, with my thin arms and legs, I couldn't even consider forcing myself on him, but there was no need to do so. Running into the crowd would count as success.

Time gradually passed, and the movement in the convoy began to decrease. Some of them had been repaired and were waiting in place ready to go.

"Let's run, the goods over there will be finished loading soon. I don't want to be taken to the city and sold like this, I might as well give it a try!"

Ka Lei became a little anxious. She looked back and forth between the guard and Elena next to her.

"Calm down and wait."

Regardless of whether she could understand it or not, Elena made a "shh" gesture and quietly stretched out her other hand to gently touch the girl's back.

Ka Lei calmed down a little, but there was still anxiety in her eyes.

As time passed, the two guards began to look here less and less, with relaxed expressions on their faces, and they were discussing something intensely.

Should I run away now?After a while the convoy became less chaotic and there was no chance again.

I want to wait for the perfect opportunity, but if I wait any longer, will there be no more opportunities? Will my caution lead me to let the opportunity go?

Elena also gradually became anxious, and her mind was filled with the struggle of whether she should act or not.

"calm down……"

While whispering and taking a deep breath, Elena regained some sense.

"I can't wait any longer... Why don't you let me go first... I must go back!"

Instead, Ka Lei seemed to have made up her mind. Her previously trembling body straightened up, and she looked at the two of them with expectation and determination in her eyes.

"No." Elena subconsciously grabbed Kalei's hand, but did not dare to look directly into those tearful eyes.

"I..." He tried to say something, but in the end he couldn't organize the words.Elena trembled all over and finally made up her mind.

"……let's go together!"

No more hesitation, a decision must be made immediately.

People are always anxious before making a decision, but they no longer panic after making a decision.Elena looked at Lini:

"Don't be afraid, we will definitely escape."

"Well..." Lini handed her trembling hand to Elena. After being wrapped in the warm palm, she gradually became less trembling.

Elena told the two little girls the route that she had simulated countless times in her mind, patiently explaining what to do at each step, and only stopped after confirming that both girls could understand.

"About 46 times! The frequency they check now is 46 times. To be on the safe side, we must blend into the convoy before the count reaches 30 times!"

Next, it’s time to take action…

……

"Now, run!"

The two guards looked here again and then looked away. Elena immediately signaled to them.

At the same time silently count.

1!

So the three girls immediately scurried forward like rabbits and ran towards the convoy of people on the other side.

Ka Lei was much taller than the other two girls, and her reflexes were very quick, and she ran to the first place almost immediately.Elena, who had not exercised strenuously for a long time, followed closely behind, but she was not far behind.

Only Lini stumbled as soon as she took a step. She lost her center of gravity but didn't dare to stop. She rushed forward a few steps crookedly.

As a social animal who doesn't exercise much and uses a body she's not used to, Elena, who was in a nervous state, felt huge discomfort after barely taking two steps.

3! 4! 5!

It was as if the blood in the whole body was boiling, all the sounds were fading away, only the ringing in the ears was rising, and the long breaths that made the lungs hurt could not satisfy the body's thirst.

The world seemed to be silent, except for the increasingly fierce beating of the heartbeat.

8! 9!

Wait...something's wrong...

Almost subconsciously, Elena turned her head.

The little girl, who was more than ten meters behind, collapsed on the ground.

The boiling blood in his body seemed to freeze instantly.
