Chapter 15: Saving Lives
"I ...... I...... Want to know ......"
"There are 28 people in the whole county that we know, including children and women. Rescue ......" Officer Shan's voice trembled, and it seemed that he didn't want to go first.
Officer Liao motioned for him to park the car behind a rock, patted Officer Shan on the shoulder and said, "I'll do the rest." He turned his head, his seemingly calm face, and the complex emotions in his eyes that even a stranger to me could see his grief, "Rescued 5, 2 schoolgirls, 3 little dolls." One girl came home with PISD and committed suicide...... There was a child born with jaundice, and it was only four months old when he was rescued, and he came to the hospital later, but he was not saved...... For this unsaved child, a policeman in the next township was also beaten with a broken leg, and a child who is still in the internship period may have to spend the rest of his life in the hospital, don't you think it's ridiculous?" he said jokingly, the moonlight shining on the flickering scars on his face as if to tell him everything, "So you think we policemen are omnipotent? In the eyes of our fellow villagers, we are plague gods, and we will definitely not be good when we come, and we rob their children and wives...... When they saw it, they were all beaten to death. I'm sorry I talked too much. ”
Officer Shan was already sobbing quietly, and Officer Liao slapped him on the back of the head with a "snap", and said with a smile: "Melon goods!
Officer Shan's sobbing stopped abruptly, and my heart couldn't be calmed for a long time.
"This is it. Officer Shan pointed to a gray-black tiled house.
At about eight o'clock, the loudspeaker in the village sounded, broadcasting a notice about the announcement of the first food supplement, and after a while, all the families gathered in twos and threes, until these people disappeared from our field of vision, and Officer Liao took us down. We trotted along the rugged trail and ran to the village to look back only to find that our car was so well hidden that it was not visible in the village.
Police Liao was probably afraid that Kevin and I would not be able to rely on each other, so they decided to go into the village with us.
Kevin helped us at the door, and Officer Liao and I searched all the houses, but found nothing.
"Could it be that we will take it to a meeting together?" Officer Liao gasped, but in an instant he overturned his thoughts, "Impossible, I didn't have a baby, and I wouldn't have appeared in front of so many people." ”
"Someone's coming, someone's coming!" Kevin panicked and ran in to inform us that he wanted to hide in the house, but before he could be caught by the arrivals.
"You're a cop, I know you. The woman with melon seeds was crooked in the corner with her big belly.
Officer Liao slapped his head and whispered in remorse: "I knew I shouldn't come in." ”
"You're here to save this new daughter-in-law?"
"It's not...... Big sister ......"
"Can't find it, can you?"
"I'll count one, two, three, let's rush out ......," Officer Liao whispered.
"I know where she is. Hearing this, the foot we had just stepped out of was retracted.
She then said, "I know what you're here for, and I can tell you where she is, but you'll have to take me with you." ”
Kevin and I froze in place, but Officer Liao quickly reacted.
"But you have a big belly......"
"It's okay, I'm in good health. ”
"Okay, save people first, and then get out of the rest. ”
After that, the eldest sister threw out all the melon seeds in her hand, pointed to a tattered vat in the yard, and showed a satisfied smile on her face: "I'll give you the wind, you go quickly." ”
Officer Liao hammered his hand and suddenly said, "Young man, help me move this cylinder." ”
Although Kevin didn't understand, he immediately helped to move. Officer Liao added: "We love to eat pickles here, so every family has a cellar, I didn't think about it just now, this eldest sister reminded me, I found that the position of this jar is so strange, there is wind under the feet, it should be the cellar mouth." ”
Sure enough, there was indeed a plank under the jar, and we left Kevin outside to answer it, so we pulled it open and went down the ladder, and behind a pile of jars, there was an unconscious girl, bound by ropes and chains to the dogs......
"Go and see if it's what you're looking for. ”
Officer Liao held up a flashlight and told me to move forward, but my legs trembled and I didn't listen.
"Come on!"
The girl who fell in the corner of the wall, her clothes were ragged, her hair was messy and scattered on her face, and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth.
I mustered up the courage to step forward and pull her hair away, tears pouring out of my eyes.
"This brute, I'm afraid she'll run away and knock her unconscious when she goes out. Officer Liao scolded behind me, I shouted a few times, Liang Huan opened her eyes slightly, maybe because the light was too dim, or because she was tortured too much, she broke away, crying for help.
"Don't call the little sister, bring them in. Officer Liao wanted to cover Liang Huan's mouth, but she bit her hard.
"Liang Huan, open your eyes and see that it's me, Teacher Lu, I'm Teacher Lu, Liang Huan!"
"Teacher Lu......" Liang Huan finally calmed down after seeing my face clearly, "It's really you...... Teacher Deer ......"
She threw herself into my arms and didn't dare to cry out loud, but she shook violently.
"It's not the time to cry now, I guess I might have heard movement outside the crying just now, and they'll be back soon. Officer Liao smashed the chain with a stone, but the chain was so rusty that it broke open in a few strokes.
Thinking of Liang Huan's clever and lively temperament on weekdays, but now he seems to have lost his soul, and his eyes are out of breath, I really feel pain in my heart.
As soon as Officer Liao carried Liang Huan out of the cellar, he heard a commotion, and sure enough, someone heard the movement and ran back.
As soon as he got out of the yard, he collided with the person who came, and he heard him roar, and in an instant, many people appeared in the distance one after another, each with a guy.
"Can I go?" Officer Liao asked, putting Liang Huan down.
Liang Huan nodded, as if she also realized the seriousness of the problem, and a strong desire to survive leaked out of her eyes.
The four of them quickened their pace, but there were more and more people chasing behind them, and the sound became louder and louder......
A bad premonition came to my mind, and I didn't go far, and a few people with sticks appeared in front of us, and we were fenced off......
We were surrounded by two teams of people, neither advancing nor retreating. They shouted, they threatened, and they used all the means they knew before they saw that the sticks were about to be struck.
"Stop!" "Smack!" Officer Liao fired a shot into the sky.
The crowd backed away a bit, and even I was so frightened that I covered my ears.
Kevin patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me not to be nervous. But I looked at Officer Liao's pistol, and my heart became even more nervous. I've seen this kind of pistol on TV, I call him ****, and it should only be five bullets. Based on my understanding of our people's police, this gun is also used to scare people away, and it is impossible to shoot at fellow villagers. The group of people with weapons were startled and quickly reacted, knowing that the police were trying to scare them, so they gathered at us again.
Seeing that we couldn't run, Kevin suddenly spoke: "Folks, what are you going to do?"
"Robbed my daughter-in-law, I snatched it back, why did the police shoot and beat people?"
It should be Wang Fu who speaks, with one arm missing, as the saying goes, from the heart, and his appearance can only be described as a thief's eyebrows. It stands to reason that we should be sympathetic or tolerant of people with disabilities, but his ability to speak is really pitiful, and the tone of his tone is so angry that Officer Liao's muscles burst out.
"Your daughter-in-law, what's your daughter-in-law's name, where is she from, how old is this?" asked Kevin.
"Liang Huan! this year...... 20 ...... this year Why do you ask so much?"
"You can't even tell her all the information. ”
"I bought her with money! she is my daughter-in-law!" Wang Fu's mother shouted with her feet.
"According to Chinese law, those who abduct and sell women and children shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 5 years and a fine of 200,000 yuan. ”
Kevin was right-founded, and if it weren't for Officer Liao's frowning brow, I would have almost believed it.
I protected Liang Huan behind me, and she trembled more and more.
"Oh my mother, you bandits, you bully people because you have guns. Wang Fu's mother sat on the ground and cried.
"Yo, it's okay to roll around, I see that your village also has antennas, you should have watched TV, right? Have you seen today's statement? Have you seen it online?" I also joined Kevin's persuasion, "Let's take people away today, we'll treat it as if nothing happened, but if you don't let us go, ......"
"Folks, they're recording!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and the crowd was angry and ready to move.
"I'll just say it's useless to reason with them!" Officer Liao raised his gun again, as if preparing for another shot to deter him.
"What are you recording for?"
"It's called a law enforcement record......"
We complained to each other but couldn't find a way to escape.
"Wait!" a voice came from the crowd, "Yuanyuan?"
The figure walked in, but it was a man shorter than me, carrying a large pot behind his back, limping in front of us.
"Yuanyuan, what are you doing here, come home with me!" he said as he reached out to the pregnant woman behind me.
The outstretched hand of the woman she called Round immediately retracted, "I don't. She shook her head stubbornly.
"You dead girl, you want to rebel, don't you?" another shrew rushed out, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by the hunchbacked man.
"Mother, she's still pregnant with a baby!"
"Qiangzi, you can see it too, she is going to run!"
The hunchbacked man looked at Yuanyuan, as if waiting for an answer.
"I have to go home, I was abducted that year because I wanted to pay for my dad's medical bills, three years have passed, he doesn't know what happened, I have to go back to see. Brother Qiang, let me go. Mother, you are also a person with children, if you are dying, do you want your children not to be around?"
"You stinky bitch, curse me!"
"Old lady, can you be reasonable!" I grabbed Qiangzi Niang and raised her hand to beat someone, "You are also a person with children, and you are still there." I shook her hand away, feeling that my arm was being shaken off, but I didn't expect that people were not young, "You are also parents, if your children are abducted by others, what do you think? You bought it? Did the person concerned agree to your sale? It is a human being! It is not an animal, and you will buy it when you say it." And is there a little king law. ”
Kevin nodded at me, his eyes were full of praise, and Liang Huan didn't tremble so much.
"Mother, let's go. The hunchbacked man pulled his mother to leave, "Yuanyuan, if you want to come back...... Forget it, if you miss me...... Never mind...... If it's inconvenient for the child, you can find someone to send it back......"
"Brother Qiang...... My name is Chen Qingfang...... City D ......"
Qiangzi's back suddenly became lonely, and after hearing this, he turned around and shouted to the surrounding villagers: "Let them go!"
"Impossible!" Wang Fu was still unyielding, and there were some voices in the crowd that supported him.
"How can there be a reason for the daughter-in-law we married in our village to be snatched away, so that the next village knows about it and thinks we are easy to bully!" shouted behind him, and the voice was getting closer and closer.
I didn't even see a few neat movements, and before I could react, Kevin had already snatched the stick from the man who had sneaked up on us.
"Hit someone, hit someone!" Kevin brandished his stick and shouted pretendly, "Who wouldn't shout, attacking the police is also going to be imprisoned, do you know?"
A few more radicals stepped forward, but Kevin was dealt with in three or five strokes, and I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth.
"Again?" Kevin shouted defiantly
Originally, a few strong men were ready to go up, but they were pulled back by their own daughter-in-law. Perhaps it was out of fear of injury, or perhaps it was something that had just touched them, but when the strong son shouted "get out of the way" again, the villagers pulled each other and made way for a passage.
"Brother Qiang, you can come to me......" This was the last sentence Chen Qingfang said before leaving.
People are fragile and conformist, maybe it wasn't his intention to buy Chen Qingfang back at the beginning, but compared to the physical defects, the psychological lack is more pathetic.
When we returned to City B, the principal personally helped me present the pennant, and Secretary Zhang told me that there would be an internal commendation meeting for teachers after the school started.
But compared to these, I care more about Liang Huan, and I no longer see the happy and carefree shadow on her face......
"Principal, Liang Huan, she ......"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we have arranged for her to go to a university in Australia. ”
"But she'...... just now"
"How many students can't go if they want to, such a good opportunity, right, Teacher Lu's younger brother?"
Kevin perfunctorily said to Secretary Zhang, and Liang Huan sat quietly next to him, as if all the things we were talking about had nothing to do with her.
When her father Liang San arrived, I would never have imagined that a seven-foot-skinned man with dark skin would kneel on the ground and weep silently.
