Yanzhen shook his head and said, "I don't know, it didn't happen when we left."
Yan Zhen didn't want to tell Gu Weichen the truth because he was afraid it would be difficult for him.
Zhang Xian doesn't know where she is now. Yan Zhen hopes that she can escape, change her name, and start a new life.
Those people deserved to die!
Gu Weichen gritted his teeth and said, "I have contacted the local army. This kind of matter must be cleared up properly."
There were hundreds of people present, including all the main laborers in the village. There were not enough ropes, so they went from house to house, tore open the sheets and sheets, and tied them together in twos and threes.
Gu Weichen looked at the four corpses again. The wounds were all on the aorta of the neck, and they had been killed with one stab.
At first glance, it looked like revenge and anger, and the hatred was not small. One person was stabbed dozens of times in the stomach, and one stab could not relieve the hatred.
The first person to wake up was Chen Qing. She opened her eyes with difficulty, and then looked around blankly.
She moved and found that her hands and feet were tied and she couldn't move at all.
"Help! Help!" She shouted loudly, looking at the people tied up all over the yard in horror. What happened?
"Stop shouting yet." Yan Zhen walked in and glanced at Chen Qing, "Don't worry, you won't be in danger."
"The People's Liberation Army is here to rescue you."
Chen Qing didn't understand Yan Zhen's words at first, but then she suddenly realized when she saw clearly the soldiers with guns and live ammunition standing not far away.
"Come to save me?" Chen Qing smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of saving me now? Why didn't you come earlier?"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head.
Chen Qing gave birth to two sons to the man who bought him, and her life was pretty good. She had enough to eat, and she would not be beaten as long as she obeyed. Speaking of which, her life was better than the one she had in her previous home.
Her family favors boys over girls. They have five sisters but only one brother.
She never had enough to eat, never wore new clothes, and there was endless work to do at home. What was the difference between staying in the mountains?
If she wants to go back, can she? Will her family take her in? Once you get out, you will be homeless.
There is her child here, and the child is her hope for the future. The man can do physical work, and will buy her new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Although it is a day to eat bran, she will not go hungry.
The wild fruits, mushrooms, and game in this mountain are all edible. Chen Qing doesn't want to leave. She has regarded this place as her home.
From now on, as long as her son gets older, she will be able to live a good life relying on him.
One after another, people woke up, mostly women.
They have been busy working all the time. They are the last ones to eat. They eat less, so they wake up early.
Yanzhen asked someone to loosen their bonds.
The person named Sister-in-law and Chen Qing stood together and looked at Yan Zhen.
My sister-in-law smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have this ability."
"He quietly deceived everyone."
Yan Zhen first asked someone to pass a bowl of water to them and said, "Quatify your thirst first."
"I want to ask you something."
Sister-in-law and Chen Qing both nodded.
"How many women in this village were trafficked?"
"What are the backgrounds of Brother Hei and Sister Du?"
"Were the children sold voluntarily? Do you want to get them back?"
"Do you want to leave?"
The last question is what Yanzhen wants to ask.
The sister-in-law and Chen Qing looked at each other, sighed, and said helplessly: "Our village is not the only one to buy women. There are more than a dozen in our village alone, and there are many more in nearby villages."
"We don't know the exact amount. You can ask Sister Du for details. She takes care of everything."
"As for the child, I don't want to look for him anymore. He will live a hard life with me."
They called her sister-in-law because she was the second one to be trafficked into the village. Later, whenever new people came to the village, she would act as the lobbyist, hoping that these women would be smarter and suffer less. They called her sister-in-law.
When she escaped, she had already reached the station in the town. She was about to escape by car. She knelt down and begged the driver to close the door and drive quickly.
But the driver was indifferent. The door was open and he ignored her. He watched helplessly as the gang swarmed up and took her away.
Later she learned that this kind of thing was too common in this area, and no one wanted to meddle in other people's business. If the driver closed the door and started the car today, someone would come into his house tomorrow to cause trouble.
They have been living here for generations, with relatives trying to help relatives but not helping them. Maybe they have become numb after seeing them too much.
She ran away many times, but was caught every time, followed by inhumane torture. In the end, the sister-in-law became frightened and was beaten so much that she stopped escaping because she was pregnant.
How many years has it been since this happened? A woman who had just entered the village asked her name, but the sister-in-law said she didn't know and had forgotten it.
Then they all called her sister-in-law, or sister-in-law, but in the end she couldn't remember her name.
The sister-in-law sighed and said, "If you want to take care of it, how can you take care of it? Arrest all the men who buy women?"
"Arrested, those women who were bought, do you think they are grateful to you?
We have to live a life, men are the backbone, and we have children to raise. The longer we live here, the more we feel that we belong here and no longer want to leave. "
Yan Zhen's heart sank little by little.
Chen Qing also nodded, "I don't want to leave either. I think it's good for me here. It's good when my man doesn't hit me."
She looked at Yan Zhen and smiled bitterly, "If I'm like this, what man will want me when I go out? How can I live? I still have children here, and our family is living a good life now."
family.
Yan Zhen was stung by the word. Those who had done violence to her were now called family by her.
Yan Zhen understands the plight and suffering of a woman better than anyone else. Most of the time, they just want to find a place to stay, have food to eat, and have some clothes to cover their bodies, so they can live a good life.
I understand Yan Zhen, so I feel so uncomfortable.
Although those people hurt them, they didn't know where to go after leaving here.
Marry again? Go back to your parents’ home?
Yan Zhen also smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I understand. Then tell me about the identities of Brother Hei and Sister Du."
The sister-in-law shook her head and said helplessly: "Actually, Sister Du was bought by Brother Hei."
"She was the first woman to be trafficked in this village, and then me."
"What?" Yan Zhen was a little shocked.
Sister Du was trafficked, and then she embarked on the road of abducting others? What is the logic?
