Chu Ning and Shi Jin stood together, obviously the mature, steady, tall and mighty Shi Jin, who looked more like the one who could call the shots of the two.

When Tao Fei contacted the old village chief, he did not clearly tell the old village chief whether the people who came to harvest this time were men or women. So as soon as the old village chief saw the two of them, he subconsciously regarded Shi Jin as the person who connected with him this time.

As for the delicate-looking little girl next to Shi Jin...... I'm afraid I've never been to the mountains, so I came over to see the excitement.

This situation is not unheard of by the old village chief, so he didn't ask, and made a conclusion about the identities of Chu Ning and Shi Jin.

It's a pity that this little girl is here to send money to their village, otherwise, he really wants to keep this little girl who is so beautiful that he has never seen it before in their village forever!

Neither Chu Ning nor Shi Jin expected such a misunderstanding to occur.

The two glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, but tacitly acquiesced to the misunderstanding of the old village chief.

As for Guide Liu, he only knew that Chu Ning and Shi Jin were together, and he didn't ask at all about who was going to collect the things.

Mainly because this is not a big deal for Guide Liu.

"Village Chief, I'll trouble you." Shi Jin took the initiative to greet the village chief.

Don't look at Shi Jin, who usually looks serious like the teaching director, but when he eases his attitude and takes the initiative to make friends with others, it is really a set, and after a while, he let the sophisticated old village chief treat Shi Jin as his own, and the two chatted so hotly.

If Chu Ning hadn't known Shi Jin, she would have almost thought that the two of them would have been the elders and juniors of the same family.

However, even though the village chief and Shi Jin chatted well, Chu Ning, who was following them, still felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not for anything else, just because the few villagers who rushed over with the village chief looked like they were very honest, but in fact, they had been secretly aiming at Chu Ning by bowing their heads.

Their attention was not because of a momentary curiosity about outsiders, but with a certain aggression, which made Chu Ning feel as if these people were going to pounce on her in the next moment!

Do the people of this village still have some wildness?

Chu Ning didn't show any change on his face, but he was secretly wary of these villagers in his heart.

The village is not large, but the ancestral hall is a little far away from the entrance of the village.

Because the ancestral hall is built in the innermost part of the village, the ancestral hall is behind the steep hillside, and only the front gate can enter and exit.

Walking all the way in, Chu Ning could occasionally see someone in the house on the side of the road poking his head out from behind the door and looking at them cautiously.

When outsiders enter the village, it is normal for the villagers to be curious. But the behavior of these people is too weird, and the emotions in their eyes are not only guarded, but also hot, as if Chu Ning is the prey in their eyes.

That's right, these people are all looking at Chu Ning, and they almost swept away Shi Jin and Guide Liu, and then they no longer paid attention to it.

Even if Chu Ningtian was not afraid, he was stunned by these people's secret scrutiny.

The strangest thing is that Chu Ning didn't see an adult woman along the way, and all the people who appeared in her field of vision were men and children!

This village is really weird everywhere.

Chu Ning couldn't help it, and quietly used his spiritual power to investigate the situation in the houses in the village.

This look shocked her even more!

It turns out that there are not no women in this village, but because the women here are locked in the house and are not allowed to go out at all!

There are less than 20 households, but there are many women in the whole village. Some families don't have a single woman, while others have two women, an old lady and a daughter-in-law.

It's just that the old ladies who don't go out in the house are all guarding the women who look like their daughters-in-law, and they are full of foul language with a fierce look, obviously taking care of their daughters-in-law, as if they are afraid that they will run away.

Some women were numb to housework under the care of the old lady, while others were tied to the head of the bed with a rag in their mouths, and their faces were full of despair.

Chu Ning's spiritual power slowly swept over, and in the end, she was so shocked that she didn't have any expression!

Such an obvious situation reminded her of the abduction and trafficking of women and children reported in the news media. This kind of incident happens from time to time in China, but this kind of thing has not happened around Chu Ning, so even if she has sympathy, it is difficult to empathize.

But now it's different!

She saw with her own eyes the miserable conditions of these women after they were abducted and trafficked!

How could she be indifferent to such a thing?!

Chu Ning was extremely angry in her heart, but there were only two people on this trip, she and Shi Jin, and Guide Liu, who brought them in, didn't know whether it was to help or drag. And there are twenty or thirty middle-aged men in this village, plus there are more than forty old people and children, even if Chu Ning has spiritual power and Shi Jin has force, Chu Ning does not guarantee that the two of them alone can save the women here intact.

What can I do?

Shi Jin, who was on the side, noticed Chu Ning's absent-mindedness, turned his head sideways to look at Chu Ning, pulled her sleeve, and asked in a low voice before Chu Ning came back to his senses.

Facing Shang Shi Jin's concerned eyes, as well as the increasingly obvious vigilance in the eyes of the surrounding villagers, Chu Ning had no choice but to smile at Shi Jin: "I'm a little tired after walking such a long way, it's nothing serious." ”

The eyes of the surrounding villagers showed a sudden look.

In their opinion, going all the way from the township to their village is something that many people cannot do. Chu Ning is a young girl, and it is not easy to walk in all the way, and now she seems to be in good spirits.

People get tired, and that's normal.

Shi Jin knew Chu Ning very well, and knew that what Chu Ning said was definitely not the truth.

Doubts grew in his mind.

Why did Chu Chu lie?

Burying his doubts in his heart, Shi Jin did not ask in front of the villagers, but pretended to be indifferent, and continued to walk in the direction of the ancestral hall with the village chief.

To Chu Ning's surprise, the houses in this village are all ruined, but the ancestral hall is beautifully built.

The tall houses are tiled, the red lacquered wooden windows, and even the floors are paved with neat cement bricks, which look like the main halls of some famous temples, and are out of place with the surrounding village buildings.

Guide Liu, who was walking next to Chu Ning, sighed softly.

Chu Ning looked over in surprise and saw a wry smile on Guide Liu's face.

Chu Ning suddenly understood.

Previously, Guide Liu said that the roads leading to the mountains built in the township were all dug up by the villagers in the mountains. Now it seems that the village where they are now located, with no roads and no money, how can they afford to build such a large and beautiful ancestral hall?

This is clearly dug by digging the road!
