When Fu Yue woke up, he saw the snow-white ceiling and walls in front of him. He blinked and looked at the IV stuck in his hand, but he didn't understand the situation for a while.

Nie Haohuai was by his side, and when he saw him wake up, he said happily, "Brother Fu, are you awake? I'll call the doctor."

Fu Yue's last memory before he fell into a coma was the sound of the police siren. His first thought was, have those traffickers been caught?Have the kidnapped women been rescued?How many people in this village are involved in trafficking?If the adults who were abducted and trafficked are all arrested, what should those young children do?

Before he could come up with something, Nie Haohuai brought the doctor in.

The doctor did a routine check on him and asked, "Is there anything else uncomfortable?"

Fu Yue said, "It's nothing, just a little dizzy and a little numb in my legs."

The doctor said: "A nurse will come to draw your blood later, and you will eat after the blood is drawn. You fainted because your blood sugar was too low, and because of the cold air entering your body, you were in a coma for a long time. Stay in the hospital for a day for observation. It's nothing. If it happens, you can leave the hospital tomorrow."

"Thank you doctor." Nie Haohuai said.

Fu Yue rubbed his temples with his hands without infusion, and asked, "Xiao Nie, which hospital are we in?"

Nie Haohuai said: "The hospital in the town, the village... I dare not let you go."

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"About two hours." Nie Haohuai said, "Brother Fu, do we still have to do this government project?"

Fu Yue asked: "Have all the traffickers in the village been taken away?"

Nie Hao had lingering fears: "Brother Fu, you don't know how chaotic it is, they still have guns, and they fought with the police. Fortunately, many policemen were dispatched inside, and they stepped up and lost their hands. Almost everyone in the village was taken away." gone."

Fu Yue touched the needle of the infusion and asked, "Is the whole village of C a trafficking village?"

Nie Haohuai shook his head and said: "The half of the village in the mountain is a trafficking village, and the people in the half of the village where we live don't seem to know about it. But the police are still guarding there, investigating and questioning each household. "

Fu Yue sighed, and changed the subject: "Did you tell Senior Xia? Tell him he's safe."

Nie Haohuai said: "Not yet, I don't dare to say, for fear that Master will worry."

Fu Yue said: "Sooner or later, such a sensational incident in the kidnapping and selling village will be reported in newspapers and on TV. Instead of keeping him in the dark for a while, it is better to tell him to report his safety first, so that he can rest assured."

"Then I'll go now." Nie Haohuai picked up his phone and called Xia Huai.

Xia Huai talked to Nie Haohuai for a while, asked Nie Haohuai to pass the phone to Fu Yue, and also said a few words to Fu Yue.

"You guys stay in the town for now. Whether this project should continue or not depends on the government's intentions."

Fu Yue said: "Okay, is there anything wrong with the firm? This project will be put on hold for at least a few days. If there is any simple order from the firm, you can send it to me."

Xia Huai let out a sigh, and said, "With me here, what can happen? Don't worry about it, just take a good rest. Hang up."

Fu Yue was hung up and returned the phone to Nie Haohuai. He suddenly remembered Miao Chen and asked, "Do you know where the woman who was with me before is?"

"The woman with you?" Nie Haohuai asked in amazement.

Fu Yue told Nie Haohuai clearly about Miao Chen, and Nie Haohuai suddenly realized: "So that's how the police came. At first, I thought that I wouldn't be able to log in for a day. If you don't come back in twelve hours, I will Just call the police. I didn’t expect you to call the police first.”

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Miao Chen came to Fu Yue's ward and said, "I heard that you are awake, I'll come and have a look."

Miao Chen had already changed into a suit of clothes. With a clean face, she pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "I'm sorry, I ate all your bread, that's why you fainted because of hypoglycemia."

Fu Yue shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal to faint from hypoglycemia. Besides, you are a victim and a witness. Your safety is more important than mine."

"I just came back from recording my statement, and I hope that all these people can be brought to justice." Miao Chen rubbed his belly and said, "Actually, I didn't want to eat the last piece of bread, but because I'm pregnant, for my sake child, so I made a selfish choice, and I still have to say sorry."

Both Fu Yue and Nie Haohuai's eyes widened slightly.

Miao Chen smiled and said, "I said I'm pregnant, not to prove that I'm not a selfish person. I'm just stating a simple fact. I have selfishness for the sake of my child."

Nie Haohuai said angrily: "That group of people even abducted pregnant women, it's really inhumane."

Miao Chen said: "When they abducted me, I didn't even know I was pregnant. I was abducted for half a month. During this period, my menstrual period was delayed, and other physical symptoms were added. I didn't know I was pregnant. I won't wait any longer. Now, you have a good rest, I still have to report."

"Are you a reporter?" Every word Miao Chen said surprised Fu Yue.

Miao Chen stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, I want to make public all the dirty things they have done. I have witnessed it first-hand. Compared with other reporters, I think I have more right to speak."

She does have more power to speak, but those who have witnessed it in interviews also face greater pain and sorrow, and recall those disturbing images from time to time, write them down, process them into systematic words and images, and then It takes courage far more than ordinary reporters to send it out.

A woman pregnant with a new life, perhaps because she has another hope, is as gentle as a flower and as tough as a stone.

Fu Yue said, "Reporter Miao, come on."

Miao Chen replied, "Teacher Fu, you should work hard too."

The journalist's job is to expose the darkness, the architect's job is to build up the light.People who meet by chance can also cherish each other.

very nice.

A few days later, reports about the trafficking in Village C were overwhelming, occupying the hot searches on major websites and setting off a storm of public opinion across the country.

Eight years ago, Village C was still a poor village worthy of the name. Village C is densely populated but lacks resources, whether it is material resources, technical resources or intellectual resources, they are all below the national rural average.

And eight years later, Village C successfully lifted the whole village out of poverty by relying on the "business" of human trafficking. The per capita income of the half of the village in the mountain even far exceeded the average level of the city, and the huge profits made people crazy , Not enough, not enough, this is far from enough.

The goal ranges from earning a little money to get enough food and clothing, to being well-off and well-off, and then to being extravagant and squandering money.

Insatiable greed.

Over the past eight years, according to incomplete statistics, Village C has trafficked more than 4000 women and 2000 children. A complete industrial chain and transportation chain have been formed. For ignorant children, the whole village is the mastermind or accomplice.They are responsible for the hiding of trafficked women and children, as well as "□□" abducted people who are resistant. cost of.

In the half of Village C located on the flat ground, there are almost only old people and children, and none of them know that their children or parents did not go out to work, but lived in the mountains not far from them, engaged in this kind of work. Shameful deeds, the money they receive from their children or parents every month is the money they get from trampling on other people's lives, trampling on the law, dignity and justice, depriving equality, freedom and human rights, what is left is red Paper money that stinks worse than blood.

Village C was split into two halves, one half was happy, quiet and peaceful, and the other half was filled with poisonous mist and clouds covering the sun.

The TV showed the tearful scene of the head of Village C: "What's wrong with me? Am I forced to? The land in Village C is barren, education and medical care are so backward, one generation is poor, and the next generation is also poor. Go, be poor for a lifetime, and be poor for ten lifetimes, but you won’t be able to get rich. If Village C didn’t do this business, then until now, the elderly in the village are still hungry, and the children in the village still have no books to read..."

The village chief spoke plausibly, as if he was on the side of justice.

But he cried so desolately again, and after talking a lot, he didn't know whether he was sincerely apologizing, or he wanted to alleviate his sins, so he murmured: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

A belated apology is just as meaningful as a belated justice.

Nie Haohuai and Fu Yue lived in a hotel in the town, watching the TV report together in the lobby of the hotel, they couldn't help but sigh.

Fu Yue said: "I don't know what to do with the remaining children."

For such a vile incident of collective abduction and trafficking in village C, the heaviest was sentenced to death, and the lightest was sentenced to at least ten years of imprisonment.

Nie Haohuai said: "I heard that the government will send people to replace all the village officials in Village C, and then build a children's growth institution, so that the remaining children can learn and grow up in it."

"Xiao Nie, how did you know?" Fu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

Nie Haohuai scratched his head, shook his phone, and said, "Master just told me."

Fu Yue asked: "Did senior Xia say that the government project has been cancelled?"

"Not really." Nie Haohuai shook his head and said, "Master said he would tell you directly."

In the afternoon, Fu Yue received a call from Xia Huai.

"Senior Xia."

"Xiao Fu, the government project continues. You and Xiao Nie will go back to Village C, and another designer will come to meet with you tonight. The government has increased investment, tripled the budget, and changed the specific plan. I'll send you a new plan in a while."

"Okay, thank you Senior Xia."

Xia Huai was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I hope that what happened in Village C will not affect your design goals for Village C."

"That's impossible, it will definitely have an impact." Fu Yue pursed his lips and said, "But the original intention will not change, I will work harder and harder to build a good cultural activity center for these old people and children. "

Xia Huai smiled: "Okay, I believe you."

After Miao Chen finished the report, he was going home. Before going home, he found Fu Yue and said goodbye to him.

"Safe journey." Fu Yue said to Miao Chen, he now pays special attention to the word "Ping An", because "Ping An" has a flavor, with ancient devout prayers and visions, beautiful and simple.

Miao Chen's short hair was blown messy by the wind, she brushed it aside and said, "I live in City Y, if you come in the future, my husband and I can take you to play."

Fu Yue smiled and nodded: "If there is a chance, I will definitely go."

Fate is very short, a farewell followed by an encounter, without thread and impermanence.
