After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Song Siwen fully agreed with Jiang Baige's proposal.

She also knew that the Erzhu family must have some secrets, but she had no idea where to start.

"Behind the main house of the Erzhu family, there is an independent cottage."

Song Siwen also knew that place, because when they were live streaming today, she saw this room from the back door. She wanted to go over, but was stopped by Erzhu's father.

There is definitely something wrong with this.

How did Jiang Baige know this?

"Let's go around from the back. If there are people imprisoned there, they will probably go over to deliver water and food, and then we can observe..."

This is feasible, but Song Siwen is still a little unsure: "But if not..."

"If there was no one there, he wouldn't have been so nervous when you asked him today." Jiang Baige solved Song Siwen's doubts by accident, "I watched your live broadcast on Quan Gang's phone today."

"But how can we be sure that it is Xiaomi inside?"

Jiang Baige shook her head: "It's not certain. But it doesn't matter, we'll take it one step at a time. If there really are people imprisoned there, we'll find a way."

Song Siwen nodded, and the two of them packed up and set off.

***

The sun had already set, and the entire village was in darkness, with only a few lights scattered around. The aroma of food wafted from the brick chimneys.

Jiang Baige shrank her nose and said, "It smells so good."

"Once this is done, I can go back for the New Year and eat whatever I want."

The two of them squinted their eyes, fantasizing about delicious food, and spent the bleak and cold winter night, almost losing their sense of time.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and the sound of approaching footsteps perked them up.

The person came closer, it was Erzhu's mother.

She was holding a bowl in her hand and a kettle on her wrist.

Song Siwen had good eyesight and could tell at a glance that it was a folding water bottle popular among outdoor hikers. The two men's hearts sank: the possibility that Xiaomi was locked inside increased.

"Should we follow?"

After Erzhu's mother went in, the door was open, but it was pitch dark inside.

Jiang Baige shook her head: "No. What if there are others following us? We'd better act when no one is around."

"Well, you are very thoughtful."

From this point of view, Song Siwen is indeed very reckless, but Jiang Baige likes him inexplicably.

The two of them "took turns standing guard", one was responsible for keeping an eye on the small house, and the other was responsible for paying attention to their rear to avoid being "attacked from behind".

But after waiting for a long time, Erzhu's mother didn't come out.

Song Siwen rubbed his eyes. He hadn't slept well for several days and was very sleepy.

Jiang Baige was just about to let her take a break when another figure came into their sight—it was Erzhu's father.

His movements were not as cautious as Erzhu's mother's. Before he even reached the small house, he raised his voice: "Are you done with all your dithering? I'm exhausted after a day's work, and no one has boiled water for me to wash my feet..."

Jiang Baige whispered, "The tiredness he mentioned, isn't it the two steps he took during today's live broadcast?"

"I finally understand why everyone wants to be a man. When men are tired, women wash their feet, and when women are tired, they have to serve and do work..."

Sad and realistic.

Jiang Baige didn't say anything. Soon, Erzhu's mother also appeared in their sight: "Hey, what are you yelling for? Don't wake up your son later."

Speaking of his son, Erzhu's father seemed a little unhappy, and his tone became even more aggressive: "He is really useless! It's been a long time since he was brought back, and he still can't be captured."

Can't take it? What does that mean?

"Okay, this child can't be conceived just like that..." Erzhu's mother pushed her husband, "You also know our Zhuzi's physique, and this girl is also strong and vigorous, it's not that easy..."

"Hey, you think she won't be like the woman who came today, who can't have children?"

Jiang Baige's palms were covered in cold sweat.

"If a woman can't give birth to a child, how can she be called a woman?" Erzhu's mother pushed Erzhu's father, her expression a little weird under the dim light, "I don't know what sin your family committed in your previous life. I gave birth to so many children, but only Zhuzi survived."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense!" The fire of Erzhu's father's cigarette flickered, "It's all Liang's fault! I told her to pick out someone easy to handle, but she picked something like this."

"Now that we're here, what else can we do? If it really doesn't work, let's wait until this storm is over and find another one..."

Change another one?

Jiang Baige had a bad guess: Could it be that she didn't see Xiaomi in her previous life because Xiaomi wasn't pregnant, so she was taken away...

But how would she be taken away?

Erzhu's father said again: "Do you think it's so easy to change a wife? You spent so much money... What should we do with this one? Pay another sum of money? What if the other one doesn't work out? What should we do?"

"Oh, why don't you sell this one and buy a better one?"

"I've said before that the women in the Liang family are unreliable. For a woman, it's enough for her to give birth to a son. It doesn't matter whether she has received an education or not... I found a college student, but she turned out to be very stubborn and difficult to deal with."

"If it's difficult, you can do it." Erzhu's mother suddenly said, "Anyway, you are still strong and healthy, as long as you are the blood of our Wang family, it will be fine."

Jiang Baige and Song Siwen looked at each other and their blood ran cold.

Erzhu's father glanced at Erzhu's mother and suddenly burst into laughter.

He didn't say anything, but it seemed as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He suddenly stretched out his hand and put his arm around Erzhu's mother's shoulders, as if he was very satisfied with this "strategist" who finally understood his heart.

The door is locked.

The iron chains made a crackling sound, which hurt Jiang Baige and the others' ears, but they did not dare to act rashly.

In other words, they have been fixed.

I can’t describe how I feel right now.

Not far away, Erzhu's parents walked away while talking, as if they were not discussing a living person, but an object, or even - a womb.

The only value of the girl locked in the basement is giving birth to children.

It doesn't matter whether he is the father or the son.

What mattered was that the son, who could inherit nothing but poverty and ignorance, must be the "bloodline" of the man.

And if she can't do that, it's of no value.

I don't know how long it took, the winter night wind blew, Jiang Baige shivered. The two of them climbed out of the grass quietly, the thick night was like their hearts.

At a certain moment, Jiang Baige even felt lost. There was only darkness in front of her and she couldn't find a way out.

What should they do?

Jiang Baige and Song Siwen explored the way while slowly walking towards their "base", tacitly not mentioning anything about tomorrow.

Perhaps, sometimes sleep and silence are both ways of self-protection.

But reality often does not give people this opportunity.

"Oh no, White Dove!"

Song Siwen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Jiang Baige walked up to her and looked into the cave: their luggage was gone!
