In a small mountain village...

Xiaomei poured a large bucket of water for the man, and placed a set of clean clothes nearby. She stared at the man with her bright eyes, "Take a good shower and change into clean clothes, okay?"

The man frowned slightly, his face pale, and said sparingly, "No."

Xiaomei picked up the wooden stick and hit the man hard on the back. The man groaned and half-knelt on the ground.

Xiaomei waved the stick fiercely and said, "Sister Yue is right. I can't let you eat too much. If you eat too much, you will want to resist."

She lifted the man's chin with a wooden stick. The man suddenly reached out to grab the stick. Xiaomei was quick-witted and kicked the man to the ground.

The man hadn't eaten for two days. He was lying on the ground with a dazed look on his face. It seemed as if his whole soul had been taken away and he couldn't even lift his hands.

"I'll come in half an hour and if you haven't finished your shower, I'll beat you up again!"

After Xiaomei left, the man weakly got up from the ground. He knew that the people in this place were ignorant and paranoid, and Xiaomei could do what she said.

He could only pretend to be compliant for the time being.

He took off his shirt, revealing his strong and muscular upper body, with several purple scars on his body.

He wiped his body carefully with a towel, and when he accidentally touched the wound, he grimaced in pain.

At this moment, the door was opened with a bang.

Widow Huang rubbed her hands with lustful eyes and paced back and forth around the man exaggeratedly, "Baby, you have a great figure!"

The man put on his clothes with disgust and yelled, "Get out!"

"Get out?" Widow Huang pinched the mole on her face and smiled lewdly. "Sister, I spent twenty eggs to buy you a night, and you want me to get out? You wish!"

Twenty eggs! You actually want to buy his body!

The man rushed towards Widow Huang in rage, but was pulled back by the chain around his neck and fell to the ground in discomfort.

"What you are doing is against the law!"

Widow Huang giggled and stared at the man as if he were a fool. "Do you know where this is? Our entire village is surrounded by miasma. Without a local leading the way, not even a mosquito can fly in. You can shout until your throat is hoarse, but no one will come to save you!" As she spoke, her fat hand reached out to touch the man.

The man suddenly grabbed her hand, flexibly pulled the chain around Widow Huang's neck, and tightened it with all his strength.

Widow Huang was so frightened that she trembled like a sieve, and her whole face turned red due to suffocation.

"Help! Xiaomei, save me!" She instinctively grabbed the chain and desperately called for help.

Xiaomei rushed in and saw that Widow Huang's entire face had turned blue and her eyes were wide open, as if they were about to fall out at any second.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She picked up a wooden stick and hit the man. Her hands were shaking. The man groaned and fell to the ground.

Xiaomei quickly helped Widow Huang up, only to see a purple mark on her neck.

Widow Huang started coughing violently and it took her a long time to catch her breath.

She stood up in frustration and said in a hoarse voice, "He almost killed me! I don't want to sleep anymore, give me the eggs back!" Then she rushed into the yard, picked up the eggs, and walked away cursing.

Xiaomei was so angry that she stomped her feet and the egg she had got flew away!

She hit the man on the head with a stick, her chest heaving violently with anger, "You have a temper, don't you? Don't eat tomorrow!"

She blew out the candle and slammed the door.

The bright moonlight shone faintly from the window, and a warm current slid down the man's forehead.

The man fell into a deep sleep, and he didn't know how long he slept. The window was carefully opened a corner, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the man's face.

The man squinted uncomfortably and saw a little boy lying by the window.

The little boy threw a small stone at him, and it hit him right on the forehead.

He groaned in pain and sat up unhappily.

"Who are you?" a child's clear voice sounded.

The man rubbed his forehead and ignored the little boy.

The little boy continued, "My name is Dong Ge, what's your name?"

"Why are you chained? Only our dogs are chained by the neck."

"Why don't you speak? Are you dumb?"

At this time, the man's stomach rumbled, and he suddenly asked, "Do you have anything to eat?"

Dong Ge pulled a sweet potato out of his pocket and threw it at the man's feet, who immediately began to eat it voraciously.

After eating, he licked the corner of his mouth and asked, "Anything else?"

Dong Ge shook his head, his big round eyes showing innocence, "I only have one."

"They said you were the husband that Sister Xiaomei picked up."

The man snorted, his eyes cold, "I'm not."

"They said you will be married in two days, and then you can sleep, and you will have a boy after sleeping."

The man stared at the little boy thoughtfully, "Have you ever been outside the village?"

Dong Ge grinned, "Of course I have! When I was five, my mother took me out to buy new clothes."

The man looked at the boy, who looked about seven or eight years old, and continued to induce him, "Have you ever seen an airplane?"

“I know about paper airplanes.”

The man's eyes sparkled, "The plane is not a paper plane. If you sit on the plane, you can fly into the sky like a bird."

"It's a pity there are no planes in your village. You have to go outside."

Dong Ge's eyes lit up, and he looked longing, "Can you take me on a plane?"

The man pointed to the chain around his neck and smiled bitterly, "I can't go out now. But if you go outside the village and tell me my name, someone will take you to the plane."

Dong Ge was a little confused, "Is it true?"

"My name is Gu Yan. You can go out and give it a try. But you can't tell anyone else about this. This is a secret between the two of us."

"Okay!" Brother Dong jumped out of the window in high spirits and ran away happily.

Gu Yan sighed heavily. It had been so long, and he didn't know if the little boy would still meet the person looking for him.

Qingshan currently only has a team of 20 people left to search in shifts every day.

Lin Youwei rode a horse through the woods. She had walked this road no less than a hundred times in just a few months.

"Help! Help!" A little boy's head suddenly emerged from the surging river, and then was quickly submerged by the river again.

Without time to think, Lin Youwei quickly jumped off the horse, swam towards the little boy and grabbed him.

Lin Youwei fished the boy out of the water. The little boy sat by the river and cried, "It's all Gu Yan's fault. Wuuuuuu, if I had known I would not have come out. I almost drowned!"

Gu Yan! Lin Youwei's alarm bells immediately rang, and her voice trembled with excitement, "Gu Yan? Him? Where is he?"

The little boy wiped his tears and said aggrievedly, "He said there was a plane outside. Wuwuwu, he lied to me!"

Lin Youwei couldn't hide her excitement. She pinched the little boy's arm and burst into tears. "Where is Gu Yan? Can you take me to find him? If you find him, sister will take you on a plane."
