After spending her last money to buy two buns and some dry food, she was ready to return to the village, otherwise she would freeze to death sooner or later.

At the other end of the village, a new village chief has been elected.

In order to establish authority for the new village chief, Ye Qingran left it to him to announce the expulsion of the Zhao family and their son from the village.

The new village chief is a very enthusiastic middle-aged man named Zhao Datian. He usually helps the villagers, so when voting, he also received the most votes.

Today happened to be the day when the Zhao family's mother and son were driven out of the village, and Ye Yunlian stumbled to the village gate hungry.

I was already feeling dizzy from hunger, but when I finally reached the end of the village, I thought I would be rescued soon. Unexpectedly, I bumped into Zhao Zhiming and Zhao's mother carrying a bundle.

She turned around and wanted to run away, but Zhao Zhiming had sharp eyes and saw her from a distance. Before she could take a few steps, he chased after her.

"You stinky bitch, where have you been these days? Have you let me catch you? Are you still trying to run away?!"

Ye Yunlian was very panicked. She knew in her heart that she would never have a good life if Zhao Zhiming took her back, so she used her last strength to run elsewhere.

But she had been hungry for a long time and had no strength for a long time. No matter how hard she tried, she could not outrun the strong Zhao Zhiming.

Seeing that she was about to be overtaken, she picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Zhao Zhiming with red eyes.

Zhao Zhiming only wanted to catch her, and he didn't expect that she would fight back. Because the distance was too close, it was already too late when he tried to escape.

Although the stone was not big, it hit his eyes directly with dirt, causing him to squat down in pain immediately.

"My eyes! You bitch!!"

He was yelling and cursing, but his eye was injured, and he had no intention of chasing her at this time. When the pain eased, Ye Yunlian had already disappeared.

He had no intention of giving up just like that. He had been looking for her for so long and finally found her. How could he let her run away so easily?

Ye Yunlian kept running forward, not daring to stop or even look back.

It wasn't until I really ran out of energy that I held on to the tree on the side and took a breath.

She was running around like a headless fly. She didn't know where she was running at this time, she only knew that she was going up a mountain.

But she could still vaguely hear Zhao Zhiming's shouts behind her, so she didn't dare to stay any longer and continued forward until she reached a very hidden cave before hiding in it.

Fortunately, it was getting dark outside, and Zhao Zhiming seemed to have given up chasing her, and finally spent the night peacefully.

But she didn't know that the Zhao family's mother and son had been driven out of the village. She didn't dare to go back to the village, but she was so hungry that she picked up some wild vegetables on the ground and some wild fruits to fill her stomach, and then returned to the capital.

But this is not the end. There is no place for her in the capital. In order to survive, she can only wander around the streets. The clothes on her body are already in tatters, but she doesn't care about this. She is full now. If you have trouble with your stomach, how can you take care of your clothes?

When she was too hungry to walk and sat huddled on the street, the passers-by thought she was a beggar and kindly gave her some food to prevent her from starving to death.

Then another man came and handed him a bun. She nodded and said, "Thank you... thank you..."

She devoured the buns, but the man did not leave directly, but just watched her finish eating.

"Is it delicious?" he asked.

Ye Yunlian didn't think much and replied: "It's delicious...thank you..."

Before she could finish speaking, her vision went dark and she fainted.

The man looked at her, chuckled, and carried her directly into the dark alley.

"Why are you still sleeping? Isn't that person going to die of illness?"

The man's voice sounded, and then he kicked Ye Yunlian.

Ye Yunlian woke up from pain, her head was still dizzy and she didn't know what happened.

"Get up quickly when you wake up, don't pretend to be dead here!"

The man lifted her off the ground and threw her outside the door.

She didn't have much strength at this time, so she could only let him throw her out and fell directly to the ground. Her whole back was sore from the impact, which made her wake up a little.

Ye Yunlian struggled to get up from the ground, opened her eyes and looked at the man beside her.

She didn't know this person, and he wasn't the person she saw before she was unconscious. She thought she was sold out by being in a coma.

In order to prevent being beaten again, she could only try her best to stand up, then took a few steps back and looked at him defensively.

"What are you looking at? Do you know where this is? This is a slave camp. Now you are a slave. It's business to wait for a while and wait for someone to buy it. If you rub the stick in my hand a few more times, I won't forgive you!"

The man raised the long stick in his hand to scare her.

He would not hold back on an ordinary slave, and would have beaten her into submission long ago, but he saw that Ye Yunlian looked good, had fine skin and tender flesh, and might be able to sell her for a good price, so he did not plan to leave any traces on her body. Scar, this just scared her.

Ye Yunlian had been beaten a lot. Naturally, she understood that only obedience could reduce the number of times she was beaten, so she nodded and replied, "I understand."

Seeing how well-behaved she was, the man felt relieved, left the room, and locked her in again.

After the Winter Festival, Ye Zhuoyu returned to the village to continue training the assassin team, but as usual, he had to go to the slave camp regularly to select suitable people to join.

On this day, he arrived at the slave camp as usual. The people in charge had known him for a long time, and when they saw him coming, they came over directly to greet him.

"There are some new people in recent days, sir, would you like to take a look?"

Ye Zhuoyu raised his eyebrows: "You can watch it, but it's still the same old rule. I don't want those who are deliberately captured. I only want orphans without fathers and mothers."

The man felt a little guilty, but he still nodded and said with a smile: "That's natural, that's natural, it must meet the requirements of the young master."

After hearing what he said, Ye Zhuoyu agreed and followed him to the backyard.

After looking around, I didn't see anything suitable. I couldn't pass the qualifications alone, let alone the background check.

He sighed: "Are there any girls?"

The man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I happen to have it. I'll bring it over right now."

Soon, he brought out a pretty girl from a certain room. She was a little dirty, but her face was specially washed so that people could see her appearance clearly.

The moment he saw her, Ye Zhuoyu was a little flustered. He took two steps forward and then stopped.

Why does this person look like Ye Yunlian? But she lowered her head, so he didn't see it clearly and couldn't be sure.

But he still asked: "Lian'er, is that you?"
