In the dim light, a man with a hideous face ruthlessly whipped a helpless girl with a belt, who, in pain, still stuffed the remaining half of a steamed bun into her mouth as she jumped and twitched...
"Wretched girl, I told you not to steal food, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you, see if I don't kill you..."
The girl hugged her head and cried out, "I'm hungry, I'm so hungry, please don't hit me..."
In the cramped space, no matter how she tried to flee, she couldn't escape the range of the belt's lashes, her body covered in welts and wounds, the pain bringing tears to her eyes. She was so hungry, never able to satisfy her hunger, endless chores day after day making her dizzy and nearly delirious, to the point she wished she could bite off her own fingers and eat them. It was this starvation that led her to stealthily take a bun from the kitchen, but just as she put it into her mouth, she was discovered and subjected to another brutal beating.
