I fell in love with my partner in the infinite game
Chapter 17 The Secret in the Mountains (1)
"But if I knew that this wish was dragging you down by entering a game, I would definitely not make a wish casually!"
Even though she grabbed the neckline with great strength, Le Yushan's voice was still soft when facing her, with a little grievance and pain.The tears gushing out wet the woman's slender eyelashes, and they are still in the eye sockets, and the appearance can be said to be pitiful to me.
After Xia Qianlan heard this, the strength in her hands relaxed a little, and after a moment of hesitation, she let the person down.It's not that she has any sympathy for Le Yushan, but she can judge whether the other party is lying or not from the aspect of reason alone. With Le Yushan's ironic professional skills, how could such a sudden burst of anger be possible? Acting?
Since it wasn't because of forced binding due to buying props, Xia Qianlan's anger naturally dissipated a lot, but after seeing the overly flamboyant dress among his fellow travelers, he could roughly understand that if nothing unexpected happened, Le Yu Shan should be the "Miss" among them.
Gee.
When she thought that she had to maintain the appearance of "Le Yushan's suitor" in the next action, Xia Qianlan suddenly felt that she was not happy anywhere.
The episode only lasted a minute or two. The rest of the people saw the fire between the two. The smell of medicine did not rush forward to intercept it. Only Zhao Yu watched with concern as his helper clashed with another person, and the other person She is another famous female star whom she met in real life.
He, who doesn't usually follow stars very much, knows that Le Yushan and Xia Qianlan's discord in the circle is an open secret, but according to the popularity of these two people, other people actually look like they don't know anything It made him even more surprised.
Later, the boy in the beret who went to the toilet also rushed over, complaining in a low voice that the faucet in the bathroom could not be turned on, so he had to go to the faucet near the well mouth in the yard to clean it.After complaining for a while, seeing that other people didn't want to respond to him, he touched his nose embarrassingly and said:
"By the way, my name is Mu Nan. It's the second time I'm here. How about you?"
Zhao Yu spoke first: "Xiao Zhao, the fourth time."
"Mu Qiaoqiao, this is my third time." The petite round-faced girl who arrived in the first batch said.
"The third time, Xie Siyu." The tall men who were also the first to arrive followed closely behind.
Xia Qianlan: "My name is Xiao Lan, and this is the fourth time I have passed the dungeon."
Le Yushan had naturally leaned against Xia Qianlan's side at this time, and quickly reacted after hearing the fake name she gave herself: "My name is Le Shanshan, everyone can call me Shanshan."
Even if everyone present saw her appearance and the name that highly overlaps with "Le Yushan", they didn't react at all. There were four people who did not introduce themselves. All newcomers.Presumably, the fat man who called himself Fat Brother had already explained the rules to them on the road. Although the three of them were extremely cautious, they didn't cry and make noises, which saved a lot of trouble.
"By the way, this is the rule book. We read it on the way when we came here. Please read it."
After introducing himself, Fat Brother suddenly thought of something, and handed out a neatly folded piece of paper in his pocket.
The distribution of dungeons is relatively fair. Those who arrive first can check the environment first, and those who arrive later can learn the rules first on the way. Each has its own advantages and it is not biased.
There are only a few words in the rules, and the simple explanation is that every night at twelve o'clock, two or two must watch the night together, from twelve o'clock at night until dawn.Only those who have been vigilant can go around the town, and the rest can only stay in the villa and not wander around.Everyone had to watch the night, which meant that the "five days" here had to be a full five days and five nights, which happened to be able to allocate ten people completely.
Zhao Yuhua hired Xia Qianlan at a high price to protect her, and she would definitely not be separated from her unless there were special circumstances.Mu Qiaoqiao and Xie Siyu also knew each other. After being coquettish and begging to no avail, Le Yushan had no choice but to form a team with a female rookie. Those who were left behind didn't seem to mind too much.
"Then who will go to the vigil first tonight?"
After everyone had read the rule book, Fat Brother was the first to ask.
The previous rules gave the conditions for leaving the villa to wander around the town. It is obviously not a good choice to stay still in the dungeon with a large map.Watching the night first, the risk experienced is directly proportional to the reward. After all, it is very important for dungeon reasoning to control the situation first.Naturally, no one knows what will happen on the first night of the new arrival. Choosing the first vigil is equivalent to stepping half a foot into the unknown gate of hell.
The newcomers were obviously timid, Xia Qianlan glanced at Zhao Yu who was looking uneasy, but at this moment he took the first step and said:
"Let's go first night."
"The first night?" Fat Brother was a little surprised, "Are you sure?"
Xia Qianlan didn't speak, but her firm expression showed her determination.She is not the kind of person who likes to back down, and it is best to get first-hand information quickly to seize the opportunity.Even if Zhao Yu was hesitating, it didn't affect her decision.
"Okay, then be careful."
Zhao Yu was obviously surprised when he heard that she was going to watch the night on the first night, and he looked a little reluctant, but it was obviously Xia Qianlan who made the decision between the two.The so-called night watch means going out from the back and walking three kilometers, and you will come to the cemetery here.The requiem undertaker has something on his body that can suppress resentful spirits. Xia Qianlan had already checked his luggage when he came, and there was a small kerosene lamp and a mahogany sword inside. It looked like the copy of Doomsday Villa The same life-saving props are given.
In Doomsday Villa, if it wasn't for the flammable yellow symbols, something would have broken into the door and taken the player away.Naturally, if you have to be smart to destroy the props that come with the environment, the end will probably be extremely tragic.
Without further ado, twelve o'clock was approaching, so Xia Qianlang went to the yard first to check.The wind howling outside was like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Zhao Yu didn't want to go out at first, but felt that it was not safe to be inside, so he had to follow her out.
The sihe courtyard is like a small wellhead, imprisoning people in it.It was difficult to see the strange bricks and tiles in the completely darkened sky, and the wind at night made the whirling branches and leaves of a tall tree in the yard sway, and the densely layered leaves were a bit like dancing ghosts.Xia Qianlan glanced at the closed door, and then turned around, only to hear Zhao Yu's shrill scream.
"Qian... Sister Xiao Lan!" Zhao Yu was obviously frightened by something, and began to speak incoherently, "This is a locust tree! Locust tree, locust tree..."
Xia Qianlan looked in the direction his finger was pointing at.
This is a Sophora japonica, with deformed branches and small branches drooping and hanging in different directions, resembling a dragon's claw [1], the shallow bell-shaped light-colored calyx is gently swayed by the wind. It seems that the long and thin ghost hands hanging down are swaying towards Zhao.The most strange thing is that there are still budding flowers on the branches of the pagoda tree, which looks like camellia from the shape, but how can the camellia bloom on the branches of the pagoda tree?
"Huai" with the word "ghost" used to be a taboo tree that could not be planted in one's own yard in feudal culture. Now most areas have broken the stereotypes of feudal culture, but in the dungeon, the environment is completely different from the outside. Different, a little trouble will cause panic and suspicion.
And Zhao Yu's suspicion was not without reason.
He just saw a thin figure under the locust tree.
"Shadow?"
Xia Qianlang didn't notice any figure, but she was not so naive as to be sure that it was Zhao Yu's hallucination due to nervousness.The tall and big boy can't wait to curl up and hide in her arms, but because of the difference between men and women, he doesn't have the nerve to pounce on him, so he pitifully grabs Xia Qianlan's clothes and grabs Xia Qianlan who is half a head taller than her. The figure barely hides behind her:
"Yes, it might reach above my waist? Chest? Anyway, it's pretty short..." Zhao Yu swallowed the saliva secreted by nervousness, and every breath seemed to have ice slag seeping into his throat.Although the temperature in Xia Ye was around ten or twenty degrees cool, he still sweated a lot.
The figure is gone, but it doesn't mean that the crisis will be easily dissipated.Zhao Yu raised his head to look at the luxuriant Longclaw pagoda tree, and tried to find if there was any trace of the figure hiding in it, but unfortunately it was too dark, and he couldn't see anything except the black rumble.
At this moment, I heard the wooden door at the back automatically open with a "squeak", which heralded the arrival of twelve o'clock.Zhao Yu's face was pale with fright. He had retreated more than once since he entered the yard, but Xia Qianlan grabbed his arm impatiently and dragged him out:
"Let's go. If you are afraid, you can light the kerosene lamp. If you don't go now, you still have to go later, and there is no copy saying that it must be safe if you stay where you are." The intention to control everyone's fate has left a big shadow on Xia Qianlan, and it is obviously more beneficial to take the initiative than to pass the time in place.
"Well, kerosene lamps... kerosene lamps!"
It seems that kerosene lamps do not have the saying of exorcising ghosts, but it should be common sense in horror movies and novels that ghosts are afraid of light.Zhao Yu's heart was a little more stable, and he hurriedly took out the lamp from his bag first. After shaking his hands twice and lighting it up, he felt a lot more at ease, so he followed Xia Qianlan with confidence.
But what neither of them noticed was that a pair of eyes hidden in the luxuriant branches and leaves of the locust tree were fixed on the light that was particularly dazzling in the dark. The person drifted away, revealing a playful smile.
**
Three kilometers is neither long nor short, and by the time we got there, my legs and feet were already a little tired.This road is full of potholes. At first it was a smooth path, but later it didn't even have a stone road. After the mud sank everywhere, it took a lot of effort to pull your feet out.
On the way, Zhao Yu rarely said a word, and only held the kerosene lamp firmly, fearing that a little wind would blow the lamp out in his hand.
The cool wind stretched for several miles, and the sweat dripped from his forehead, making his vision slightly blurred.Scattered here and there are patches of tombs, and the wilderness can't be seen as far as the eye can see. The boundary between the sky and the earth is blurred, like a mass of thick black ink blurring at the boundary and then scattered around.
The kerosene lamp was very small, not as big as Zhao Yu's hand, and at some point a few small flying insects got inside the dirty glass cover, scalded by the scorching heat of the kerosene until the skin was scorched and the flesh was rotten, sticking to the edge of the cover Can't get down.But even though the scorching temperature was only a few feet away, Zhao Yu felt that his hands were too cold.
After getting Xia Qianlan's consent, he was finally able to sit down on a clean mound and rest his feet, wiping the cold sweat off his face by the way.All he could see was tombs and tombs. Apart from the light in his hand, there were only ghostly ghosts in the world. Every movement made this young man with little experience tremble with fear.
Before coming, the uncle who woke them up also gave a detailed explanation on why they had to watch their souls.
The name of the deceased was An Ning, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.This age may be considered quite young in the city, but for the people in the mountains, it is already the time to get married and have children.The mountains are high, the sky is high and the law is far away, and marriages have been established since she was a teenager. However, An Ning's family is more open-minded, and she is given the right to choose freely. It doesn't stop the relationship between the two.
However, An Ning was burned to death on the third day after Zhu Ma had just married her into his house as a bride.This girl was born with poor health, she often fell ill every three days, she finally got married safely, she never thought she would go away before she had time to enjoy herself.Anning's bamboo horse is said to be blind in one eye from crying, and is willing to pay for the funeral and to raise Anning's little brother.
This villa is the wedding room built by An Ning's bamboo horse Sun Bin's family, but in the past two days, some strange things have always happened in the village.Occasionally, a wizard passing by said that there was a woman whose soul was not cleared, and she was thinking every night that she hadn't been able to be a bride for a few days.Sun Bin is an infatuated kind, saying that after An Ning's soul is calmed down, he will accompany her to get married again on Wei Qi.
It has been a while since An Ning died, and after five days and five nights, it happened to be her last seven days.
Xia Qianlan has never been in a relationship, let alone married, so of course she doesn't know or understand why this girl is so obsessed with getting married.In the empty wilderness, there was a dark wind that blew dust from the grave, and occasionally threw the two of them all over their faces. Zhao Yu hurriedly wiped the kerosene lamp regardless of his hot hands.The weak light was like his life-saving straw. Once he left, Zhao Yu was even afraid that the gloomy energy in the cemetery would eat him alive.
Compared to him, a tall and burly young man, the woman next to him seemed much bolder.Xia Qianlan propped one leg on the ground, while the other leg curled up and squatted. Although she was always ready to get up, she looked at the tombs standing in the boundless darkness without fear.
I don't know how long it took before the two caught an intermittent sound coming from a long distance from the silence.
That voice still carried the immaturity that belonged to a young girl that had not completely faded away, as ethereal and clear as spring water, and it seemed to be a folk song made up in a dialect that they outsiders could not understand.Xia Qianlan listened carefully for a long time, and could only vaguely understand that the voice was repeating the words "Camellia blooms", and the rest of the voice was faint, faintly hidden in the distance.
"Planting camellias, planting camellias, the camellias bloom on the rivers and mountains, sisters and sisters pick together..."
"Planting camellias, planting camellias, the camellias bloom on the rivers and mountains, sisters and sisters pick together..."
The voice repeated this sentence several times in the back. The cheerful, simple and melodious folk song echoed in the dark wilderness, and the elongated and trembling tail sound was particularly terrifying.I couldn't see anyone, but the voice kept singing in my ears, sometimes erratic, far and near.
Zhao Yu's emotions were almost broken by this voice. He grabbed the kerosene lamp and put the mahogany sword beside him, his hands were scalded with several blisters, and he didn't let go.He wanted to beg Xia Qianlan to talk to him, but the other party seemed to be seriously thinking about something, which made Zhao Yu a little embarrassed to speak. It took some time before Zhao Yu closed his eyes in a daze in the faint smell of burning lamp oil. eyes.
While half dreaming and half awake, there are still a few melodious piano sounds in the distance, the sound of the piano is fragmented, and it cannot overshadow the faint song.But after the sound of the piano sounded, the sound stopped abruptly as if it had touched some irreversible taboo. After that, the ghostly singing sound did not appear again in the night, but the piano sound would occasionally pass once or twice, but it soon disappeared. Disappeared, and the sound was so small that it was almost negligible.
Zhao Yu was then woken up by Xia Qianlan's patting.
"what!"
The boy was frightened and jumped up suddenly. His first reaction was to look at the kerosene lamp in his hand.After burning for a whole night, there was still a small half of the wick left, and his palms were red and swollen, but this was not the detail that needed to be concerned about now.
The inexplicable singing is gone, and the sky is dawning. Wherever the sight passes, there are desolate tombs standing on the ridge of the field for an unknown period of time. A deep gap was loosened at the joint, and the smell of decay escaped from it.Sitting on the mound all night made his back ache, but at least nothing happened, and Zhao Yu's face showed a bit of joy after the disaster.
Xia Qianlan didn't say anything, and the two of them headed back the way they had come side by side.But before he opened the door and walked into the courtyard, a sharp female voice screamed from afar. After distinguishing that it was Mu Qiaoqiao's voice, Xia Qianlan frowned and hurriedly walked in.
"careful!"
Fat Brother's exclamation was heard not far away, and Xia Qianlang felt a gust of wind blowing over his head, and the moment he heard the slight noise, he subconsciously backed away, barely avoiding the splash of blood.At the same time, the moment she backed away, a head that had been cut in half had already landed on the ground, and the sticky and bloody brain was mixed with human organs and tissues onto the lawn, and the air was full of thick blood. .
It was a bald head, with facial features and flesh and blood that seemed to have been scraped off bit by bit. The bloodshot spots on the top of the head and the remaining traces of the hair follicles at the root of the head indicated that the hair was brutally pulled out before this life and not born bald.Hanging around the neck was a slender straw hemp rope, which was not too strong, and became even more unstable after hanging it overnight.
The pair of pitch-black holes that had their eyeballs gouged out looked like they were staring at the person in front of them. The indistinct gaze made people uncomfortable, and even Xia Qianlan, who was unprepared to face him, was shocked for a while. Heart palpitations, not to mention Zhao Yu who followed closely behind.As soon as his eyes fell on the thing, the boy's shoulders shrank suddenly, Xia Qianlan covered his screams and stuffed them back into his mouth before they were about to overflow.
Even so, Zhao Yu was still jumping around emotionally.
The deceased was the boy wearing the beret yesterday, whose body was thrown in the bathroom. It seems that the name was Mu Nan or something, most people couldn't remember clearly.The boy's neck seemed to be cut open by silk threads. The wound was very thin, and the flesh felt strong, but there were only sporadic blood stains left on the ground, as if someone cleaned it up specially.The beret was randomly discarded on the ground, and when it was lifted, it was found to be full of dirty hair.
After coming out of the bathroom, Xia Qianlan noticed that the color of the tiles seemed to be more vivid than yesterday. Under the warm sun rising in the early morning, there was a feeling that it was slowly flowing, and there was a touch of black on the deep black. Glossy scarlet.
An idea suddenly came to Xia Qianlan's mind.
"What's the matter, I have to go to the toilet later, let's deal with this side first." Xie Siyu's rough voice came from the bathroom, and Mu Qiaoqiao seemed to say "be careful", and then Xie Siyu and Fatty Brother and two experienced male players worked together to lift the corpse up with the nausea flooding in their hearts.
It's not good to put the corpse in the yard, and no one is willing to contribute the room as a morgue, so they can only go out from the backyard and put it outside temporarily.In the deserted villages and mountains, wild beasts may appear at night, or hungry vultures may hover down to peck at the corpses when no one is around, but in such an environment, no one has the mood to care about the decency of a stranger after death .
Xia Qianlan didn't ask them the cause of death for the time being, and the time during the day was very limited, because she didn't know how long it would take to get out from the mountain road.In addition to the simple rules given in the dungeon, they still know very general information about the deceased, but since there is trouble in the village, they should be able to get the answer from the villagers.
Zhao Yu was already scared out of his wits by the too miserable head just now, and did not follow closely until Xia Qianlan packed up everything and was ready to go out.The young and strong labor force is useless, Xia Qianlan put those things on him without hesitation.
The two walked around for more than an hour before they walked from the little villa with few people to the bustling village.As soon as I walked to the gate of the village, I heard the sound of trumpets blowing, and a cluster of colorful fireworks flew up from the ground not far away, blooming and falling in joyful tunes.
The large stretches of bright red silk do not look like they have died. If it hadn't been for staying in that desolate and quiet cemetery last night, Xia Qianlan would even have thought that he had come to a wedding scene in a mountain village——
But from this point of view, it seems that it is really a wedding.
A woman who was washing clothes by the river was humming a ditty leisurely. When she saw Xia Qianlan, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she saw Zhao Yu who was following behind with something, and a certain strange emotion soon faded away. convergence.The two young men and women who came side by side seemed to make her misunderstand something, but it also saved unnecessary trouble.
The woman who misunderstood the relationship between the two no longer looked at Xia Qianlan with that uncomfortable look, but softly beckoned her to go over and stuff someone with a poor quality wedding candy.This kind of wedding candy was eliminated in the countryside in Xia Qianlan's world decades ago, because the chocolate melted a little after being kept warm in the pocket for too long, making it greasy and sticky in the palm of your hand.However, Xia Qianlan didn't refuse in person. After accepting the gift, she seemed to ask casually:
"Auntie, is someone getting married here?"
"It's not marriage! The daughter-in-law of our village chief's family gave birth to him a son!" The woman smiled and parted her hair, "It's not me, that little daughter-in-law is very handsome, and the son she gave birth to is white and fat! So is Wang Changgui." I really love his daughter-in-law. When she was pregnant, she knew it was her son, so she didn't let her go to work in the fields. When she was about to give birth, she gave her milk to drink! This old man is a precious son..."
"Old child?" Xia Qianlan suddenly grasped the point of the woman's words, "Isn't that an elderly woman?"
When the woman said this, she seemed to be belatedly aware that she had said the wrong thing. She laughed twice and was about to say no more, but Xia Qianlan took out two banknotes from her pocket and handed them over:
"I ate a few candies from you just now, and I thought it was a gift money for me to make me happy. How about the little daughter-in-law now?"
Xia Qianlan looked at her with gentle and undisciplined eyes, without coercion or intentional rhetoric, which made people relax a little unconsciously.The woman touched the two banknotes that Xia Qianlan gave her, the texture of the money in her hands was always very pleasant.The money she gave was very clever, it would neither make people greedy nor too little, the woman weighed it for a while, and quickly continued to lower her voice:
"Wang Changgui is a lucky man. When he was young, he was sick and made his face pockmarked. He was short and frustrated. He waited until he was almost 50 years old to find a normal woman! That woman is still a college student. If she looks like her, she's so pretty! She's just like An Ning's mother, but it's a pity that An Ning's mother..."
"what!?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yu, who was following Xia Qianlan, was first taken aback.He had also heard in real life that there would be girls who were kidnapped and sent to remote areas, but that was only heard, and that was many years ago.Now that the network is well-connected, and the police are sent to the police very quickly, even if there are occasional traffickers who are daring, they will usually be caught at the intersection, and there will be no chance of being sent to the mountainous area.
But the environment in the dungeon is not necessarily the same as in real life. Unless it is forced to submit by abduction and trafficking, Zhao Yu can't believe that a young girl in her twenties will voluntarily give up her studies and come to the mountains to marry a scruffy man with a pockmarked face. The old man gave birth to children.
What Zhao Yu could think of, Xia Qianlan could naturally think of it too. Just when she calmly suppressed her disgust and was about to continue asking, a figure ran from the entrance of the village. The man was out of breath. Calling a tree intermittently:
"Wang Changgui's daughter-in-law has an accident... Hurry up..."
**
A brand-new brick and tile house that is rare in the ancient village is Wang Changgui's home. It is already lunch time, but the steaming heat that should have been in the past has been replaced by strong and pungent blood.There were one or two dry howls in the room from time to time, and the crisp sound of the porcelain bowl clinking to the ground. After a while, a naked woman was dragged out of the room by her hair and thrown to the ground.
The woman's cheeks were swollen high, with red five-fingerprints on it, it was obvious that she had just been slapped. Even so, the man who was pulling her still couldn't feel relieved. But was held down by an old lady who hurried out from inside.Looking at the woman on the ground with a blank expression, the old lady spat on her fiercely, and then stood in front of the furious man:
"Stop beating! Who will give birth to your baby if you beat him to death? Didn't the baby be sent to Doctor Ma to say it's okay, just raise a goddamn one!"
After persuading the man, the old woman threw a coat on the woman again, blocked the eyes of the neighbors who watched the excitement with her body and said loudly: "It's gone, the mother-in-law at home is clumsy, and she has no strength after giving birth. Hold the son!" It's time to fall!" The tone seemed to be talking about an insignificant matter, if it wasn't for seeing the girl get a heavy slap on the face, it is estimated that other people would really believe it.
A woman is about twenty years old. Although her face is greasy, she has a delicate oval face, but she can also distinguish very good-looking facial features.The man who pulled her out by pulling her hair was short and thin, with gray hair and looked like he was five or sixty years old. Xia Qianlan could tell at a glance that they were the "husband and wife" that the previous man called.
Because it was summer, the woman was only wearing a loose long skirt, and there were bloodstains that hadn't dried up on her two fair and slender legs, overlapping the hideous and terrifying scars.Her neckline was ripped open, and she was hanging loosely, but she hadn't picked up the clothes thrown by the old woman for a long time and put them on her body.The arms that are too slender for an adult can be seen to be full of marks left by whip marks and burns. She is obviously a beautiful girl, but she has been tortured to the point where she is neither human nor ghost.
Then Wang Changgui was still cursing, if not for so many people watching, he would have rushed up to do it directly again.The unkempt woman raised a strand of hair that was too long on her forehead and pinned it behind her ears. Under Wang Changgui's stern insults, she slowly raised her head, a sharp light suddenly ignited in her dead eyes, and the originally gentle peach blossom eyes suddenly changed. Gotta sharpen up.
"careful!"
Xia Qianlan quickly grabbed Zhao Yu's wrist and stepped back, barely avoiding the splash of blood, but the other people who were close at hand didn't have such good luck.I saw the woman took out a pair of small scissors out of nowhere, pointed at the man's nipples and poked it mercilessly. Perhaps this scene has been brewing in her mind thousands of times, and the condensed The movements of the raging hatred were fast, ruthless, and accurate, and Wang Changgui's aggressive appearance disappeared in an instant, and his howling like a beast was ear-piercing and shrill.
Blood, bright red blood was all over the ground, Wang Changgui's hoarse cry seemed no less than the pain she experienced when giving birth, after all, it was the most important thing he regarded as life.Wang Changgui's blood gushed out like a fountain, and he lost the strength to retaliate for a while, and fell to the ground with a plop and convulsed like epilepsy.Seeing her son in such pain, the elderly mother rushed over with a cry of pain, as if wishing to bear the pain directly instead of him, shouting "doctor" desperately.
The woman just picked up the blood-stained scissors and was subdued by two strong men. She didn't try to struggle, but stared at Wang Changgui who was crying and rolling on the ground with cold eyes, wishing to make this man suffer. Every minute of every moment is imprinted in the retina to recirculate memories.
Soon, two people came over with a stretcher and took away Wang Changgui, who had been limp into mud.Naturally, those who hurt others will not end well, and will be imprisoned by others.
Xia Qianlan didn't intervene a bit from the beginning to the end. When she watched the woman being taken down, she saw a hint of determination in her eyes.
That person obviously did it with the mentality that he must die.
**
Later, on the way back, Zhao Yuzhuang boldly asked why Xia Qianlan didn't go up to stop her, obviously they still had the time and energy to save the trafficked girl.It was said that this was the third child born to this girl. The first two were aborted because they were found to be daughters in the mother's womb. They didn't even have the chance to come to the world to see it.
Zhao Yu was filled with righteous indignation when he heard the villagers say this calmly. He wanted to tell those people that abduction and trafficking are illegal, forcing a [-]-year-old girl to ruin her future, and imprisoning people in the mountains is not the same as a It is not justified for a man who loves to be her father to have children and give money to traffickers. Such behavior is legally called rape.But before he could finish speaking, he was dragged away by Xia Qianlan under the disgusted eyes of the villagers, and he was warned not to speak indiscriminately.
Xia Qianlan ate at a small restaurant in the village for lunch. The sanitation conditions were poor, and she exchanged her points for two detoxification pills, fearing that these people would put something unclean in the food.I went around in the afternoon but found no clues. These villagers were unexpectedly "unified". After that incident, most people gathered together to discuss how to deal with the woman, and some people went to Appease the old lady, but have no mercy for an unarmed girl who dared to resist once with all her strength.
The old lady seemed to have only one son, the key to her son was abolished, and she would no longer be able to bear children. The girl bought with a lot of money lost her last bit of value, and the family who hated her would definitely not let her go.
There are no such rules and regulations in the mountains. It can be seen from the fact that the kidnapping and trafficking are unattended. The girl will obviously not be sent to the police. It is self-evident what the consequences will be waiting for her.Zhao Yu couldn't help but palpitate when he thought of the pitiful appearance of that person with wounds stacked on top of each other and scars on scars.
"Have you seen "Blind Mountain"?"
When the two were about to arrive on foot, Xia Qianlan asked a question abruptly.
Zhao Yu froze for a moment and said no.
"Blind Mountain" is a movie made in Huaxia many years ago. The story is very simple. It tells the tortuous experience of a female college student who was kidnapped and sold to a mountainous area where the law is blind.After the hostess was brought there by human traffickers in the name of looking for a job, because she refused to sleep with the man who bought her, she was held down by the man's family and brutally assaulted. After trying her best to escape, she was caught and beaten in public.The heroine was able to let people relax after giving birth to a boy. With the help of a junior high school student, she successfully reported the crime and got her father to come over.
During this process, all the villagers were actually colluding, and even stopped the police car together when the police came to search for people.In the version that Xia Qianlan saw, the police car was stopped and could not take the father and daughter away. The heroine's father chose to stay and help the heroine, but was pushed to the ground by the "husband" and beat him. In the end, the heroine couldn't bear it and stabbed the In the name of the husband's heart, the final outcome is to leave a blank.
Exactly the same as in the copy.
Facing the villagers who have united for a long time and are used to these things, Zhao Yu's increasingly "outrageous" questions will only arouse their vigilance.Xia Qianlang felt that some people were looking at her strangely when she entered the village, not only men's squinting eyes, but even some women were looking at her with a look of looking at goods, maybe it was I am evaluating whether such a person can be sold for a good price in the next village.
If most people hadn't misunderstood the relationship between her and Zhao Yu and labeled her as a "famous flower with a master", it would be a lot of trouble to ask for clues if she entered the village alone. When Xia Qianlan first entered the dungeon I opened the mall and found that many attack props could not be purchased and used. Obviously, this is a reasoning dungeon with a high level of force restrictions and high requirements for the plot.
Otherwise, as soon as she saw the man beating a woman, Xia Qianlan would have stepped forward and chopped off his hand without hesitation.
The setting sun in the sky is gradually sinking through the clouds, rendering the earth a golden red brilliance, like a flowing painting under the cover of the floating clouds and mists, and the distant mountains and the near scenes are all in it. The place is still like a tourist destination that has yet to be developed.
After returning to the villa, Xia Qianlan saw several people preparing for dinner. Mu Qiaoqiao and Xie Siyu had already packed their bags and put them in the corner.
Even though she grabbed the neckline with great strength, Le Yushan's voice was still soft when facing her, with a little grievance and pain.The tears gushing out wet the woman's slender eyelashes, and they are still in the eye sockets, and the appearance can be said to be pitiful to me.
After Xia Qianlan heard this, the strength in her hands relaxed a little, and after a moment of hesitation, she let the person down.It's not that she has any sympathy for Le Yushan, but she can judge whether the other party is lying or not from the aspect of reason alone. With Le Yushan's ironic professional skills, how could such a sudden burst of anger be possible? Acting?
Since it wasn't because of forced binding due to buying props, Xia Qianlan's anger naturally dissipated a lot, but after seeing the overly flamboyant dress among his fellow travelers, he could roughly understand that if nothing unexpected happened, Le Yu Shan should be the "Miss" among them.
Gee.
When she thought that she had to maintain the appearance of "Le Yushan's suitor" in the next action, Xia Qianlan suddenly felt that she was not happy anywhere.
The episode only lasted a minute or two. The rest of the people saw the fire between the two. The smell of medicine did not rush forward to intercept it. Only Zhao Yu watched with concern as his helper clashed with another person, and the other person She is another famous female star whom she met in real life.
He, who doesn't usually follow stars very much, knows that Le Yushan and Xia Qianlan's discord in the circle is an open secret, but according to the popularity of these two people, other people actually look like they don't know anything It made him even more surprised.
Later, the boy in the beret who went to the toilet also rushed over, complaining in a low voice that the faucet in the bathroom could not be turned on, so he had to go to the faucet near the well mouth in the yard to clean it.After complaining for a while, seeing that other people didn't want to respond to him, he touched his nose embarrassingly and said:
"By the way, my name is Mu Nan. It's the second time I'm here. How about you?"
Zhao Yu spoke first: "Xiao Zhao, the fourth time."
"Mu Qiaoqiao, this is my third time." The petite round-faced girl who arrived in the first batch said.
"The third time, Xie Siyu." The tall men who were also the first to arrive followed closely behind.
Xia Qianlan: "My name is Xiao Lan, and this is the fourth time I have passed the dungeon."
Le Yushan had naturally leaned against Xia Qianlan's side at this time, and quickly reacted after hearing the fake name she gave herself: "My name is Le Shanshan, everyone can call me Shanshan."
Even if everyone present saw her appearance and the name that highly overlaps with "Le Yushan", they didn't react at all. There were four people who did not introduce themselves. All newcomers.Presumably, the fat man who called himself Fat Brother had already explained the rules to them on the road. Although the three of them were extremely cautious, they didn't cry and make noises, which saved a lot of trouble.
"By the way, this is the rule book. We read it on the way when we came here. Please read it."
After introducing himself, Fat Brother suddenly thought of something, and handed out a neatly folded piece of paper in his pocket.
The distribution of dungeons is relatively fair. Those who arrive first can check the environment first, and those who arrive later can learn the rules first on the way. Each has its own advantages and it is not biased.
There are only a few words in the rules, and the simple explanation is that every night at twelve o'clock, two or two must watch the night together, from twelve o'clock at night until dawn.Only those who have been vigilant can go around the town, and the rest can only stay in the villa and not wander around.Everyone had to watch the night, which meant that the "five days" here had to be a full five days and five nights, which happened to be able to allocate ten people completely.
Zhao Yuhua hired Xia Qianlan at a high price to protect her, and she would definitely not be separated from her unless there were special circumstances.Mu Qiaoqiao and Xie Siyu also knew each other. After being coquettish and begging to no avail, Le Yushan had no choice but to form a team with a female rookie. Those who were left behind didn't seem to mind too much.
"Then who will go to the vigil first tonight?"
After everyone had read the rule book, Fat Brother was the first to ask.
The previous rules gave the conditions for leaving the villa to wander around the town. It is obviously not a good choice to stay still in the dungeon with a large map.Watching the night first, the risk experienced is directly proportional to the reward. After all, it is very important for dungeon reasoning to control the situation first.Naturally, no one knows what will happen on the first night of the new arrival. Choosing the first vigil is equivalent to stepping half a foot into the unknown gate of hell.
The newcomers were obviously timid, Xia Qianlan glanced at Zhao Yu who was looking uneasy, but at this moment he took the first step and said:
"Let's go first night."
"The first night?" Fat Brother was a little surprised, "Are you sure?"
Xia Qianlan didn't speak, but her firm expression showed her determination.She is not the kind of person who likes to back down, and it is best to get first-hand information quickly to seize the opportunity.Even if Zhao Yu was hesitating, it didn't affect her decision.
"Okay, then be careful."
Zhao Yu was obviously surprised when he heard that she was going to watch the night on the first night, and he looked a little reluctant, but it was obviously Xia Qianlan who made the decision between the two.The so-called night watch means going out from the back and walking three kilometers, and you will come to the cemetery here.The requiem undertaker has something on his body that can suppress resentful spirits. Xia Qianlan had already checked his luggage when he came, and there was a small kerosene lamp and a mahogany sword inside. It looked like the copy of Doomsday Villa The same life-saving props are given.
In Doomsday Villa, if it wasn't for the flammable yellow symbols, something would have broken into the door and taken the player away.Naturally, if you have to be smart to destroy the props that come with the environment, the end will probably be extremely tragic.
Without further ado, twelve o'clock was approaching, so Xia Qianlang went to the yard first to check.The wind howling outside was like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Zhao Yu didn't want to go out at first, but felt that it was not safe to be inside, so he had to follow her out.
The sihe courtyard is like a small wellhead, imprisoning people in it.It was difficult to see the strange bricks and tiles in the completely darkened sky, and the wind at night made the whirling branches and leaves of a tall tree in the yard sway, and the densely layered leaves were a bit like dancing ghosts.Xia Qianlan glanced at the closed door, and then turned around, only to hear Zhao Yu's shrill scream.
"Qian... Sister Xiao Lan!" Zhao Yu was obviously frightened by something, and began to speak incoherently, "This is a locust tree! Locust tree, locust tree..."
Xia Qianlan looked in the direction his finger was pointing at.
This is a Sophora japonica, with deformed branches and small branches drooping and hanging in different directions, resembling a dragon's claw [1], the shallow bell-shaped light-colored calyx is gently swayed by the wind. It seems that the long and thin ghost hands hanging down are swaying towards Zhao.The most strange thing is that there are still budding flowers on the branches of the pagoda tree, which looks like camellia from the shape, but how can the camellia bloom on the branches of the pagoda tree?
"Huai" with the word "ghost" used to be a taboo tree that could not be planted in one's own yard in feudal culture. Now most areas have broken the stereotypes of feudal culture, but in the dungeon, the environment is completely different from the outside. Different, a little trouble will cause panic and suspicion.
And Zhao Yu's suspicion was not without reason.
He just saw a thin figure under the locust tree.
"Shadow?"
Xia Qianlang didn't notice any figure, but she was not so naive as to be sure that it was Zhao Yu's hallucination due to nervousness.The tall and big boy can't wait to curl up and hide in her arms, but because of the difference between men and women, he doesn't have the nerve to pounce on him, so he pitifully grabs Xia Qianlan's clothes and grabs Xia Qianlan who is half a head taller than her. The figure barely hides behind her:
"Yes, it might reach above my waist? Chest? Anyway, it's pretty short..." Zhao Yu swallowed the saliva secreted by nervousness, and every breath seemed to have ice slag seeping into his throat.Although the temperature in Xia Ye was around ten or twenty degrees cool, he still sweated a lot.
The figure is gone, but it doesn't mean that the crisis will be easily dissipated.Zhao Yu raised his head to look at the luxuriant Longclaw pagoda tree, and tried to find if there was any trace of the figure hiding in it, but unfortunately it was too dark, and he couldn't see anything except the black rumble.
At this moment, I heard the wooden door at the back automatically open with a "squeak", which heralded the arrival of twelve o'clock.Zhao Yu's face was pale with fright. He had retreated more than once since he entered the yard, but Xia Qianlan grabbed his arm impatiently and dragged him out:
"Let's go. If you are afraid, you can light the kerosene lamp. If you don't go now, you still have to go later, and there is no copy saying that it must be safe if you stay where you are." The intention to control everyone's fate has left a big shadow on Xia Qianlan, and it is obviously more beneficial to take the initiative than to pass the time in place.
"Well, kerosene lamps... kerosene lamps!"
It seems that kerosene lamps do not have the saying of exorcising ghosts, but it should be common sense in horror movies and novels that ghosts are afraid of light.Zhao Yu's heart was a little more stable, and he hurriedly took out the lamp from his bag first. After shaking his hands twice and lighting it up, he felt a lot more at ease, so he followed Xia Qianlan with confidence.
But what neither of them noticed was that a pair of eyes hidden in the luxuriant branches and leaves of the locust tree were fixed on the light that was particularly dazzling in the dark. The person drifted away, revealing a playful smile.
**
Three kilometers is neither long nor short, and by the time we got there, my legs and feet were already a little tired.This road is full of potholes. At first it was a smooth path, but later it didn't even have a stone road. After the mud sank everywhere, it took a lot of effort to pull your feet out.
On the way, Zhao Yu rarely said a word, and only held the kerosene lamp firmly, fearing that a little wind would blow the lamp out in his hand.
The cool wind stretched for several miles, and the sweat dripped from his forehead, making his vision slightly blurred.Scattered here and there are patches of tombs, and the wilderness can't be seen as far as the eye can see. The boundary between the sky and the earth is blurred, like a mass of thick black ink blurring at the boundary and then scattered around.
The kerosene lamp was very small, not as big as Zhao Yu's hand, and at some point a few small flying insects got inside the dirty glass cover, scalded by the scorching heat of the kerosene until the skin was scorched and the flesh was rotten, sticking to the edge of the cover Can't get down.But even though the scorching temperature was only a few feet away, Zhao Yu felt that his hands were too cold.
After getting Xia Qianlan's consent, he was finally able to sit down on a clean mound and rest his feet, wiping the cold sweat off his face by the way.All he could see was tombs and tombs. Apart from the light in his hand, there were only ghostly ghosts in the world. Every movement made this young man with little experience tremble with fear.
Before coming, the uncle who woke them up also gave a detailed explanation on why they had to watch their souls.
The name of the deceased was An Ning, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.This age may be considered quite young in the city, but for the people in the mountains, it is already the time to get married and have children.The mountains are high, the sky is high and the law is far away, and marriages have been established since she was a teenager. However, An Ning's family is more open-minded, and she is given the right to choose freely. It doesn't stop the relationship between the two.
However, An Ning was burned to death on the third day after Zhu Ma had just married her into his house as a bride.This girl was born with poor health, she often fell ill every three days, she finally got married safely, she never thought she would go away before she had time to enjoy herself.Anning's bamboo horse is said to be blind in one eye from crying, and is willing to pay for the funeral and to raise Anning's little brother.
This villa is the wedding room built by An Ning's bamboo horse Sun Bin's family, but in the past two days, some strange things have always happened in the village.Occasionally, a wizard passing by said that there was a woman whose soul was not cleared, and she was thinking every night that she hadn't been able to be a bride for a few days.Sun Bin is an infatuated kind, saying that after An Ning's soul is calmed down, he will accompany her to get married again on Wei Qi.
It has been a while since An Ning died, and after five days and five nights, it happened to be her last seven days.
Xia Qianlan has never been in a relationship, let alone married, so of course she doesn't know or understand why this girl is so obsessed with getting married.In the empty wilderness, there was a dark wind that blew dust from the grave, and occasionally threw the two of them all over their faces. Zhao Yu hurriedly wiped the kerosene lamp regardless of his hot hands.The weak light was like his life-saving straw. Once he left, Zhao Yu was even afraid that the gloomy energy in the cemetery would eat him alive.
Compared to him, a tall and burly young man, the woman next to him seemed much bolder.Xia Qianlan propped one leg on the ground, while the other leg curled up and squatted. Although she was always ready to get up, she looked at the tombs standing in the boundless darkness without fear.
I don't know how long it took before the two caught an intermittent sound coming from a long distance from the silence.
That voice still carried the immaturity that belonged to a young girl that had not completely faded away, as ethereal and clear as spring water, and it seemed to be a folk song made up in a dialect that they outsiders could not understand.Xia Qianlan listened carefully for a long time, and could only vaguely understand that the voice was repeating the words "Camellia blooms", and the rest of the voice was faint, faintly hidden in the distance.
"Planting camellias, planting camellias, the camellias bloom on the rivers and mountains, sisters and sisters pick together..."
"Planting camellias, planting camellias, the camellias bloom on the rivers and mountains, sisters and sisters pick together..."
The voice repeated this sentence several times in the back. The cheerful, simple and melodious folk song echoed in the dark wilderness, and the elongated and trembling tail sound was particularly terrifying.I couldn't see anyone, but the voice kept singing in my ears, sometimes erratic, far and near.
Zhao Yu's emotions were almost broken by this voice. He grabbed the kerosene lamp and put the mahogany sword beside him, his hands were scalded with several blisters, and he didn't let go.He wanted to beg Xia Qianlan to talk to him, but the other party seemed to be seriously thinking about something, which made Zhao Yu a little embarrassed to speak. It took some time before Zhao Yu closed his eyes in a daze in the faint smell of burning lamp oil. eyes.
While half dreaming and half awake, there are still a few melodious piano sounds in the distance, the sound of the piano is fragmented, and it cannot overshadow the faint song.But after the sound of the piano sounded, the sound stopped abruptly as if it had touched some irreversible taboo. After that, the ghostly singing sound did not appear again in the night, but the piano sound would occasionally pass once or twice, but it soon disappeared. Disappeared, and the sound was so small that it was almost negligible.
Zhao Yu was then woken up by Xia Qianlan's patting.
"what!"
The boy was frightened and jumped up suddenly. His first reaction was to look at the kerosene lamp in his hand.After burning for a whole night, there was still a small half of the wick left, and his palms were red and swollen, but this was not the detail that needed to be concerned about now.
The inexplicable singing is gone, and the sky is dawning. Wherever the sight passes, there are desolate tombs standing on the ridge of the field for an unknown period of time. A deep gap was loosened at the joint, and the smell of decay escaped from it.Sitting on the mound all night made his back ache, but at least nothing happened, and Zhao Yu's face showed a bit of joy after the disaster.
Xia Qianlan didn't say anything, and the two of them headed back the way they had come side by side.But before he opened the door and walked into the courtyard, a sharp female voice screamed from afar. After distinguishing that it was Mu Qiaoqiao's voice, Xia Qianlan frowned and hurriedly walked in.
"careful!"
Fat Brother's exclamation was heard not far away, and Xia Qianlang felt a gust of wind blowing over his head, and the moment he heard the slight noise, he subconsciously backed away, barely avoiding the splash of blood.At the same time, the moment she backed away, a head that had been cut in half had already landed on the ground, and the sticky and bloody brain was mixed with human organs and tissues onto the lawn, and the air was full of thick blood. .
It was a bald head, with facial features and flesh and blood that seemed to have been scraped off bit by bit. The bloodshot spots on the top of the head and the remaining traces of the hair follicles at the root of the head indicated that the hair was brutally pulled out before this life and not born bald.Hanging around the neck was a slender straw hemp rope, which was not too strong, and became even more unstable after hanging it overnight.
The pair of pitch-black holes that had their eyeballs gouged out looked like they were staring at the person in front of them. The indistinct gaze made people uncomfortable, and even Xia Qianlan, who was unprepared to face him, was shocked for a while. Heart palpitations, not to mention Zhao Yu who followed closely behind.As soon as his eyes fell on the thing, the boy's shoulders shrank suddenly, Xia Qianlan covered his screams and stuffed them back into his mouth before they were about to overflow.
Even so, Zhao Yu was still jumping around emotionally.
The deceased was the boy wearing the beret yesterday, whose body was thrown in the bathroom. It seems that the name was Mu Nan or something, most people couldn't remember clearly.The boy's neck seemed to be cut open by silk threads. The wound was very thin, and the flesh felt strong, but there were only sporadic blood stains left on the ground, as if someone cleaned it up specially.The beret was randomly discarded on the ground, and when it was lifted, it was found to be full of dirty hair.
After coming out of the bathroom, Xia Qianlan noticed that the color of the tiles seemed to be more vivid than yesterday. Under the warm sun rising in the early morning, there was a feeling that it was slowly flowing, and there was a touch of black on the deep black. Glossy scarlet.
An idea suddenly came to Xia Qianlan's mind.
"What's the matter, I have to go to the toilet later, let's deal with this side first." Xie Siyu's rough voice came from the bathroom, and Mu Qiaoqiao seemed to say "be careful", and then Xie Siyu and Fatty Brother and two experienced male players worked together to lift the corpse up with the nausea flooding in their hearts.
It's not good to put the corpse in the yard, and no one is willing to contribute the room as a morgue, so they can only go out from the backyard and put it outside temporarily.In the deserted villages and mountains, wild beasts may appear at night, or hungry vultures may hover down to peck at the corpses when no one is around, but in such an environment, no one has the mood to care about the decency of a stranger after death .
Xia Qianlan didn't ask them the cause of death for the time being, and the time during the day was very limited, because she didn't know how long it would take to get out from the mountain road.In addition to the simple rules given in the dungeon, they still know very general information about the deceased, but since there is trouble in the village, they should be able to get the answer from the villagers.
Zhao Yu was already scared out of his wits by the too miserable head just now, and did not follow closely until Xia Qianlan packed up everything and was ready to go out.The young and strong labor force is useless, Xia Qianlan put those things on him without hesitation.
The two walked around for more than an hour before they walked from the little villa with few people to the bustling village.As soon as I walked to the gate of the village, I heard the sound of trumpets blowing, and a cluster of colorful fireworks flew up from the ground not far away, blooming and falling in joyful tunes.
The large stretches of bright red silk do not look like they have died. If it hadn't been for staying in that desolate and quiet cemetery last night, Xia Qianlan would even have thought that he had come to a wedding scene in a mountain village——
But from this point of view, it seems that it is really a wedding.
A woman who was washing clothes by the river was humming a ditty leisurely. When she saw Xia Qianlan, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she saw Zhao Yu who was following behind with something, and a certain strange emotion soon faded away. convergence.The two young men and women who came side by side seemed to make her misunderstand something, but it also saved unnecessary trouble.
The woman who misunderstood the relationship between the two no longer looked at Xia Qianlan with that uncomfortable look, but softly beckoned her to go over and stuff someone with a poor quality wedding candy.This kind of wedding candy was eliminated in the countryside in Xia Qianlan's world decades ago, because the chocolate melted a little after being kept warm in the pocket for too long, making it greasy and sticky in the palm of your hand.However, Xia Qianlan didn't refuse in person. After accepting the gift, she seemed to ask casually:
"Auntie, is someone getting married here?"
"It's not marriage! The daughter-in-law of our village chief's family gave birth to him a son!" The woman smiled and parted her hair, "It's not me, that little daughter-in-law is very handsome, and the son she gave birth to is white and fat! So is Wang Changgui." I really love his daughter-in-law. When she was pregnant, she knew it was her son, so she didn't let her go to work in the fields. When she was about to give birth, she gave her milk to drink! This old man is a precious son..."
"Old child?" Xia Qianlan suddenly grasped the point of the woman's words, "Isn't that an elderly woman?"
When the woman said this, she seemed to be belatedly aware that she had said the wrong thing. She laughed twice and was about to say no more, but Xia Qianlan took out two banknotes from her pocket and handed them over:
"I ate a few candies from you just now, and I thought it was a gift money for me to make me happy. How about the little daughter-in-law now?"
Xia Qianlan looked at her with gentle and undisciplined eyes, without coercion or intentional rhetoric, which made people relax a little unconsciously.The woman touched the two banknotes that Xia Qianlan gave her, the texture of the money in her hands was always very pleasant.The money she gave was very clever, it would neither make people greedy nor too little, the woman weighed it for a while, and quickly continued to lower her voice:
"Wang Changgui is a lucky man. When he was young, he was sick and made his face pockmarked. He was short and frustrated. He waited until he was almost 50 years old to find a normal woman! That woman is still a college student. If she looks like her, she's so pretty! She's just like An Ning's mother, but it's a pity that An Ning's mother..."
"what!?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yu, who was following Xia Qianlan, was first taken aback.He had also heard in real life that there would be girls who were kidnapped and sent to remote areas, but that was only heard, and that was many years ago.Now that the network is well-connected, and the police are sent to the police very quickly, even if there are occasional traffickers who are daring, they will usually be caught at the intersection, and there will be no chance of being sent to the mountainous area.
But the environment in the dungeon is not necessarily the same as in real life. Unless it is forced to submit by abduction and trafficking, Zhao Yu can't believe that a young girl in her twenties will voluntarily give up her studies and come to the mountains to marry a scruffy man with a pockmarked face. The old man gave birth to children.
What Zhao Yu could think of, Xia Qianlan could naturally think of it too. Just when she calmly suppressed her disgust and was about to continue asking, a figure ran from the entrance of the village. The man was out of breath. Calling a tree intermittently:
"Wang Changgui's daughter-in-law has an accident... Hurry up..."
**
A brand-new brick and tile house that is rare in the ancient village is Wang Changgui's home. It is already lunch time, but the steaming heat that should have been in the past has been replaced by strong and pungent blood.There were one or two dry howls in the room from time to time, and the crisp sound of the porcelain bowl clinking to the ground. After a while, a naked woman was dragged out of the room by her hair and thrown to the ground.
The woman's cheeks were swollen high, with red five-fingerprints on it, it was obvious that she had just been slapped. Even so, the man who was pulling her still couldn't feel relieved. But was held down by an old lady who hurried out from inside.Looking at the woman on the ground with a blank expression, the old lady spat on her fiercely, and then stood in front of the furious man:
"Stop beating! Who will give birth to your baby if you beat him to death? Didn't the baby be sent to Doctor Ma to say it's okay, just raise a goddamn one!"
After persuading the man, the old woman threw a coat on the woman again, blocked the eyes of the neighbors who watched the excitement with her body and said loudly: "It's gone, the mother-in-law at home is clumsy, and she has no strength after giving birth. Hold the son!" It's time to fall!" The tone seemed to be talking about an insignificant matter, if it wasn't for seeing the girl get a heavy slap on the face, it is estimated that other people would really believe it.
A woman is about twenty years old. Although her face is greasy, she has a delicate oval face, but she can also distinguish very good-looking facial features.The man who pulled her out by pulling her hair was short and thin, with gray hair and looked like he was five or sixty years old. Xia Qianlan could tell at a glance that they were the "husband and wife" that the previous man called.
Because it was summer, the woman was only wearing a loose long skirt, and there were bloodstains that hadn't dried up on her two fair and slender legs, overlapping the hideous and terrifying scars.Her neckline was ripped open, and she was hanging loosely, but she hadn't picked up the clothes thrown by the old woman for a long time and put them on her body.The arms that are too slender for an adult can be seen to be full of marks left by whip marks and burns. She is obviously a beautiful girl, but she has been tortured to the point where she is neither human nor ghost.
Then Wang Changgui was still cursing, if not for so many people watching, he would have rushed up to do it directly again.The unkempt woman raised a strand of hair that was too long on her forehead and pinned it behind her ears. Under Wang Changgui's stern insults, she slowly raised her head, a sharp light suddenly ignited in her dead eyes, and the originally gentle peach blossom eyes suddenly changed. Gotta sharpen up.
"careful!"
Xia Qianlan quickly grabbed Zhao Yu's wrist and stepped back, barely avoiding the splash of blood, but the other people who were close at hand didn't have such good luck.I saw the woman took out a pair of small scissors out of nowhere, pointed at the man's nipples and poked it mercilessly. Perhaps this scene has been brewing in her mind thousands of times, and the condensed The movements of the raging hatred were fast, ruthless, and accurate, and Wang Changgui's aggressive appearance disappeared in an instant, and his howling like a beast was ear-piercing and shrill.
Blood, bright red blood was all over the ground, Wang Changgui's hoarse cry seemed no less than the pain she experienced when giving birth, after all, it was the most important thing he regarded as life.Wang Changgui's blood gushed out like a fountain, and he lost the strength to retaliate for a while, and fell to the ground with a plop and convulsed like epilepsy.Seeing her son in such pain, the elderly mother rushed over with a cry of pain, as if wishing to bear the pain directly instead of him, shouting "doctor" desperately.
The woman just picked up the blood-stained scissors and was subdued by two strong men. She didn't try to struggle, but stared at Wang Changgui who was crying and rolling on the ground with cold eyes, wishing to make this man suffer. Every minute of every moment is imprinted in the retina to recirculate memories.
Soon, two people came over with a stretcher and took away Wang Changgui, who had been limp into mud.Naturally, those who hurt others will not end well, and will be imprisoned by others.
Xia Qianlan didn't intervene a bit from the beginning to the end. When she watched the woman being taken down, she saw a hint of determination in her eyes.
That person obviously did it with the mentality that he must die.
**
Later, on the way back, Zhao Yuzhuang boldly asked why Xia Qianlan didn't go up to stop her, obviously they still had the time and energy to save the trafficked girl.It was said that this was the third child born to this girl. The first two were aborted because they were found to be daughters in the mother's womb. They didn't even have the chance to come to the world to see it.
Zhao Yu was filled with righteous indignation when he heard the villagers say this calmly. He wanted to tell those people that abduction and trafficking are illegal, forcing a [-]-year-old girl to ruin her future, and imprisoning people in the mountains is not the same as a It is not justified for a man who loves to be her father to have children and give money to traffickers. Such behavior is legally called rape.But before he could finish speaking, he was dragged away by Xia Qianlan under the disgusted eyes of the villagers, and he was warned not to speak indiscriminately.
Xia Qianlan ate at a small restaurant in the village for lunch. The sanitation conditions were poor, and she exchanged her points for two detoxification pills, fearing that these people would put something unclean in the food.I went around in the afternoon but found no clues. These villagers were unexpectedly "unified". After that incident, most people gathered together to discuss how to deal with the woman, and some people went to Appease the old lady, but have no mercy for an unarmed girl who dared to resist once with all her strength.
The old lady seemed to have only one son, the key to her son was abolished, and she would no longer be able to bear children. The girl bought with a lot of money lost her last bit of value, and the family who hated her would definitely not let her go.
There are no such rules and regulations in the mountains. It can be seen from the fact that the kidnapping and trafficking are unattended. The girl will obviously not be sent to the police. It is self-evident what the consequences will be waiting for her.Zhao Yu couldn't help but palpitate when he thought of the pitiful appearance of that person with wounds stacked on top of each other and scars on scars.
"Have you seen "Blind Mountain"?"
When the two were about to arrive on foot, Xia Qianlan asked a question abruptly.
Zhao Yu froze for a moment and said no.
"Blind Mountain" is a movie made in Huaxia many years ago. The story is very simple. It tells the tortuous experience of a female college student who was kidnapped and sold to a mountainous area where the law is blind.After the hostess was brought there by human traffickers in the name of looking for a job, because she refused to sleep with the man who bought her, she was held down by the man's family and brutally assaulted. After trying her best to escape, she was caught and beaten in public.The heroine was able to let people relax after giving birth to a boy. With the help of a junior high school student, she successfully reported the crime and got her father to come over.
During this process, all the villagers were actually colluding, and even stopped the police car together when the police came to search for people.In the version that Xia Qianlan saw, the police car was stopped and could not take the father and daughter away. The heroine's father chose to stay and help the heroine, but was pushed to the ground by the "husband" and beat him. In the end, the heroine couldn't bear it and stabbed the In the name of the husband's heart, the final outcome is to leave a blank.
Exactly the same as in the copy.
Facing the villagers who have united for a long time and are used to these things, Zhao Yu's increasingly "outrageous" questions will only arouse their vigilance.Xia Qianlang felt that some people were looking at her strangely when she entered the village, not only men's squinting eyes, but even some women were looking at her with a look of looking at goods, maybe it was I am evaluating whether such a person can be sold for a good price in the next village.
If most people hadn't misunderstood the relationship between her and Zhao Yu and labeled her as a "famous flower with a master", it would be a lot of trouble to ask for clues if she entered the village alone. When Xia Qianlan first entered the dungeon I opened the mall and found that many attack props could not be purchased and used. Obviously, this is a reasoning dungeon with a high level of force restrictions and high requirements for the plot.
Otherwise, as soon as she saw the man beating a woman, Xia Qianlan would have stepped forward and chopped off his hand without hesitation.
The setting sun in the sky is gradually sinking through the clouds, rendering the earth a golden red brilliance, like a flowing painting under the cover of the floating clouds and mists, and the distant mountains and the near scenes are all in it. The place is still like a tourist destination that has yet to be developed.
After returning to the villa, Xia Qianlan saw several people preparing for dinner. Mu Qiaoqiao and Xie Siyu had already packed their bags and put them in the corner.
