The few poachers approached them and asked, “Hey, what are you guys doing here?”
Mo Huiling was frightened by the guns. She sat there and exclaimed, “S-s-she… If you want to capture us, take her. She’s a celebrity.”
That man stood between the two of them. He looked at them and waved his hand. “Take both of them back!”
Take them back?
To where?
Lin Che was pushed along the way while Mo Huiling already couldn’t walk anymore. She was practically being dragged forward.
She was powerless, but she did not dare to protest. Very soon, the two of them realized that there was a little old village on the side of the forest.
The two of them were pushed towards the village.
The outside was almost no different from the inside. It was almost time for a meal and it was smoky. Children were playing on the ground while women sat together and chatted at the side.
However, this place was too run-down. The houses were all built using mud. The children were barefooted. They didn’t wear shoes or pants as they ran around, blending in with the mud.
The few women saw that the men returned and brought two ladies with them. They looked over curiously.
“How come you guys came back with two humans instead of prey?”
“Exactly. Who are they?”
“Don’t talk about it. We got one, but it was scared away by these two women and refused to come out. We won’t be able to hand over anything to our boss today. Quickly go and get me some water.”
It turned out that this village was specially for poachers.
Lin Che heard about these people before. When they sold their poached goods to those bosses, those bosses would only give them very little money. In contrast, these wild game fetched thousands of yuan in big restaurants outside. Thus, the poachers remained poor. Because poaching was illegal, they had no other choice but to live in poverty in the ravine.
Lin Che sat down and a woman squatted beside her. “Drink some water. Oh my, you’re so fair.”
Lin Che was speechless. She already had dirty mud all over her face and she could still look fair?
However, they indeed faced the sun and wind daily and lacked water. Thus, their complexion was very rough.
That woman said, “My name is Xiaofang. The one who brought you here is my dad and the village chief. Hehe, your face is so tender. You look so good. What is your diet?”
Lin Che replied, “I… I eat rice.” She thought for a while and then said, “Oh, right. Eat more fruits and your face can become more tender.”
Mo Huiling snorted and said, “Eat fruits? Little girl, let me tell you. Pretty faces require money to create. One face mask costs a few hundred yuan and you need to use one every day. Daily fumigation costs over a thousand yuan. My makeup products are all specially imported from overseas and I make a trip once a month. I spend hundreds of thousands of yuan every month.”
The young lady listened in total shock as if not quite comprehending what she said.
Lin Che said, “Yes, yes, you’re a rich princess.”
Mo Huiling said, “You’re right. I am a rich princess and you guys are nothing. It’s all your fault that I have to suffer this hardship. This stupid place is so dirty and ruined. My skirt… Do you know how expensive my skirt is? This is a limited edition from Paris and cost me a few hundred thousand yuan. I bought it at an auction. Then, take a look at my skin. I’ll have to spend so much money to repair it. Seriously. Stupid place, so filthy. How can anyone live here?”
Lin Che looked at her. “You were the one who insisted on coming here. Don’t push the blame to me.”
The woman beside immediately said, “Exactly. Why are you so foul-mouthed? Miss, I think you’re very nice and your clothes are nice too. You are way prettier than her.”
Mo Huiling heard this and was hopping mad. She grunted and glared at Lin Che. She wanted to rip her face apart.
This seductive face that didn’t forget to attract people wherever it went.
