When the woman saw Laidi, she reached out directly to her and pinched her arm hard.
Laidi felt pain and frowned, but she did not dare to cry.
She knew that if she cried out, she would be taught a worse lesson.
So now I just dare to hold it in and don't dare to shout out.
When Ying Qingling saw the woman bullying Laidi again, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes and he took a step forward.
"Bad guy! You bullied Laidi again!"
After hearing Ying Qingling's reproach, the woman opened her mouth.
"Go away, little fool, are you looking for death?"
Just as he was about to take action, his hand was held by Ying Qingci.
As soon as she waved her hand, the woman staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Ouch——"
She screamed in pain and shook her wrist, with disbelief in her eyes. She didn't understand. Ying Qingci was only a teenager, and she was still a little girl. How could she have so much strength?
Ying Qingci showed no mercy at all and started directly at the most painful acupoints on the human body, ensuring that she would never forget this feeling.
Indeed, the woman felt a lot of pain on her body now, but she couldn't bear to lift her clothes in public. Besides, even if she said it, who would believe that a teenage girl could beat her like this?
Now she could only swallow the bitter water in her stomach.
Ying Qingling saw the opportunity, pulled Laidi over, and hid behind Ying Qingci together.
"Don't be afraid, my sister will protect us."
Although she has no memory now, in Ying Qingci's subconscious, her sister is the most reliable.
He believed in his sister.
Laidi was a little afraid of strangers, but seeing Ying Qingling made her feel better.
In the past, when her mother was here, although her life was not good, at least she was not beaten so badly. Since her mother left, her presence in this family has become even less.
Moreover, she had to be beaten almost every day. After Ying Qingling was brought back, she slowly approached him. Although he could not remember what happened before, he was a very kind person.
From time to time, I would look for him secretly. If he didn't have enough to eat, I would save some food for myself.
This time he escaped because Laidi gave him a break, otherwise he would never have been able to escape. However, Wang Tieshuan discovered him midway and was chased to the back mountain.
Ying Qingling went straight into the back mountain, and that's what happened next.
Ying Qingci glanced at Laidi. She now had fear on her face, and she shrank back when she met her gaze.
Children who have been abused for a long time will indeed be scared when they see strangers. It seems that Di is like this. Come to think of it, she was beaten quite hard.
"do not be afraid."
Ying Qingci's eyes slowed down a little and fell on her: "I am his sister. Thank you for taking care of him during this time."
Laidi shook her head, her eyes twinkling.
"Village chief, I would like to ask, where is Laidi's biological mother?"
Ying Qingci turned her head and looked at the village chief. Is this little girl called Lai Di? She heard the village chief call him this.
The village chief sighed, "Speaking of which, this is also a miserable child."
The Wang family is very patriarchal, but after Laidi's mother married into the Wang family, she only had one daughter. Therefore, it seemed that she had been beaten and scolded by Wang Tieshuan for so many years and she did not dare to talk back.
Later, Wang Tieshuan came back with the woman in front of him, and Laidi's mother was beaten away by Wang Tieshuan. Now she has no idea where she went.
"Okay, village chief, can I take her away with me?"
Wang Tieshuan was in jail, and he was not sure when he would be released. As for the woman in front of him, if Laidi stayed at home, she would obviously not look good on her, let alone live a good life.
"this……"
The village chief was stunned by the question, but Laidi's own consent was still needed for this matter.
Ying Qingci understood, "Laidi, are you willing to follow me home? And him."
Ying Qingci pointed at Ying Qingling beside him.
Brother Qingling was living outside. Although Laidi didn't help him much, he was still a person who made Ying Qingling feel warm in her heart, so she naturally wanted to help him too.
She can take her away now and give her a good life.
Or, we can find a good home for her to adopt later. In this way, we can give her an explanation.
"Let's go, no need to get beaten."
When Ying Qingling heard this, he turned to look at Lai Di with a look of urgency in his eyes. It was obvious that he was avoiding the Wang family.
Laidi raised her eyes, with faint tears still in them, and looked at Ying Qingci cautiously.
"May I?"
"Of course you can if you want."
"I, I am willing to go with you."
Laidi seemed to have made up her mind. She glanced at the woman slumped on the ground, then looked at Ying Qingci, mustered up her courage, and then nodded.
Ying Qingci nodded and turned to the village chief, "After that, I will take her to the county government. I hope the village chief can give her a proof."
In all things, it is better to do things more perfectly.
"good."
The village chief nodded, even more impressed by Ying Qingci's meticulousness.
As for the Wang family, the village would not ask any questions. If you do something wrong, you will be punished.
…
Nanning Prefecture
County government
"Sir, an unknown illness has appeared in Banyue Village, and it is spreading extremely fast. In less than a day, there are already more than a dozen patients with the same symptoms in Banyue Village."
"What?"
Upon hearing the news, Wang Sihai quickly put down the official document in his hand, picked it up, and walked to Bai Heng's shopping mall.
"More than a dozen people?"
"right."
Bai Heng's face was anxious. It was not scary to be alone, but if more than a dozen people were all infected with the disease in just one day, the country would have to pay attention to it.
Especially...the cause is still unknown.
If it was an infectious disease, the consequences would be... disastrous.
"Quick, take the doctor to see him!"
Wang Sihai hurriedly walked out, saying as he walked, "Also, the news should be sealed for the time being so that no one can know."
The news has not yet been confirmed. In order to avoid unnecessary panic, the normal development of Nanhe Mansion must be ensured. If word spreads, chaos will inevitably occur in Nanhe Mansion.
This is not what he wants to see.
"yes."
Bai Heng nodded and quickly gave the order.
Wang Sihai walked outside the door, almost forgetting what he was going to see, and wandered around the door.
The refugee issue has just been settled, so be sure not to cause any more trouble.
…
"Village Chief, I see that most of the villagers in Yangshu Village are engaged in farming. Are there no hunters in the village?"
"Hey, since someone saw wild beasts in the back mountains, no one has gone up the mountain again."
Ying Qingci nodded. It seemed that the wild beasts in the mountains were indeed the most worrying thing for the people.
"However, I see that the land in the village is a bit barren. Wouldn't the yield of rice cultivation be very low?"
"So what if it's low? In order to fill our stomachs, we can only plant more."
Who says it’s not the case? The rice grown in these fields can barely keep them full.
