Chapter 100: The Secret Within the Wall
When Bai Ting found this small village in the middle of nowhere, it was already ten in the morning of the next day.
He still wears that mask, the last time he went to the post office, he was accidentally seen by a neighbor and almost got into trouble, but fortunately now out of some of the leaders of the unit, everyone else thinks that he is really dead, otherwise this matter really can't be explained in a few words.
Just in case, he decided to wear a mask when he was active in human form, so that he could do things boldly with confidence.
Before coming to the He family's house, Liu Huifang's breath here was very strong, and even through the low eaves, he could hear the snoring of the people inside.
However, he did not rush into the house to arrest Liu Huifang, but looked around, this kind of remote and backward place always hides untold stories, Liu Huifang, a woman who has nowhere to go, would choose such a place as a hiding place, there must be her reasons.
As a soldier, Bai Ting habitually plans to find out the situation in this small village.
In late September, the sky was already dark at four or five o'clock in the morning.
The chirping of insects in the mountains and forests does not make the night seem too lonely.
The tall and majestic man walked vigilantly among the ridges, and after half an hour of groping, he found that the village was quite interesting.
In the middle of the night, there was a patrol of ten people, divided into five groups, guarding several important positions in and out, as if to prevent outsiders from entering.
What's even more interesting is that this is obviously a poor small village, but he built a big brick house in the back mountain.
No, it's more accurate to say it's a cage than a big tiled house.
The house was surrounded by a high wall, estimated to be four meters high, and covered with shards of glass.
When Bai Ting climbed the wall, he almost didn't get his palm cut by the glass piece.
"There seems to be someone inside. ”
He squinted, the four-meter-high wall was not difficult for him, avoiding the broken glass squatting on the wall, and there was still a faint light in the large blue-brick and tiled house.
The faint sound of a woman crying could be heard.
Like a phantom in the night, Bai Thunder jumped down from the wall, leaned against the corner of the wall and walked directly to the vicinity of the house, and then his eyes froze, hiding himself behind a pillar.
Two voices sounded like a woman of no small age came out of the house with a basin.
"That woman has been crying, there will be no problems with her eyes, right? Tomorrow is a good day for Da Zhuang, she keeps crying and is so unlucky!" The rough-throated woman seemed to be very dissatisfied with the crying inside, sighed and said: "Recently, marrying a mother-in-law has become more and more expensive, Da Zhuang has spent a full 300 yuan! Alas, I don't know when my family will be able to get the money to marry my mother-in-law and give me a few cute little grandchildren." ”
"I'm worried, too. The other woman also sighed, "The situation in my family is even more annoying than yours, and it really doesn't cost much to wait for the strong mother-in-law to give birth to a grandson for her mother-in-law to give birth to a grandson for our family." ”
"Da Zhuang, is he capable?" the rough-throated woman pouted, "All the men in their He family are feudal! In the past, when his father married his mother, someone wanted to borrow it to have a child, but his father almost didn't chop off the root of his life!"
"I don't understand, isn't she just a woman, what is so precious! Isn't it just for giving birth to a son!" another woman agreed.
The two women spoke in this dialect, and Bai Ting could only barely understand a little, but he could probably guess some of the meaning.
After the two of them left, he walked out from behind the pillar, looked at the place where the two women had just come out, thought about it, and quietly pushed the door and walked in.
Don't look at the materials used in this blue brick and tile house, but in fact, there are no furniture and daily necessities in it.
As soon as you enter, you will find a lame rotten wooden table, and there are torches hanging from the wall next to it, so you can barely see everything in the room.
The floor was full of dry straw, and there was an iron chain that looked like a dog bolt in the innermost part, and an unkempt woman was cowering in the corner, hugging her knees and crying.
Even when she heard the door open, the woman didn't mean to look up, just immersed in a heartbroken situation.
In the dim light, Bai Ting saw some traces of the woman's nudity, obviously forced to experience that kind of thing.
He frowned slightly, and when he saw this scene, he immediately understood what was happening.
Speaking of which, with his knowledge, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Huaguo is so big, there are countless remote and backward and ignorant mountain villages, and these places are patriarchal, so there are many old singles, and women are most likely to be bought and sold in such places.
Because it is usually the whole village or even the whole town that does this kind of thing, including those public officials who know the law, are involved, so even if they are really discovered, it usually doesn't happen.
Some women are trafficked into such places, and once they give birth to a child, even if their relatives find them, most women will not choose to leave for the sake of the child.
The law does not hold the people accountable, and this kind of thing cannot be managed at all.
However, since he was bumped into, as a soldier, Bai Ting naturally couldn't stand by and watch.
He coughed lightly and walked over to the woman and squatted down, "Hello comrade. ”
The woman's crying voice paused slightly, Bai Ting did not speak a dialect she didn't understand, and her accent was very official.
She hurriedly raised her head, looking at his ordinary face with a pair of red eyes mixed with faint hope, and her voice was hoarse: "You, are you here to save me?"
"Yes. Bai Ting nodded without hesitation.
"Really?" The woman asked without hope, but unexpectedly, this man really came to save herself, she excitedly stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm: "Can you take me away now? I beg you, you save me, I will repay you!"
"Shhhh ”
Bai Ting put his hand in front of his mouth and motioned for her to be quiet.
The woman immediately covered her mouth, but her eyes were still looking at him.
Bai Ting saw that she was quite smart, unlike the women who had been mutilated and yelled when he and his comrades had rescued her before, but caused a lot of trouble.
He nodded at the woman, picking up the chain around her neck.
The thumb-thick chains were thick and heavy, and the women were visibly scarred on their necks.
This thing needs a key to open, but ......
Bai Ting frowned, and pinched the corner of the chain fiercely with both hands, only to see that this thing was deformed as quickly as plasticine in his hands.
After pinching the chain to the thinnest level, he gently pulled it, and the chain broke easily.
