They were taken into a courtyard by the villagers who didn't know whose house it was, but judging from the tidy and tidy house, and the old but decent belongings, this should be the residence of a person of status in the village.

Qi Yun was hugged and pushed to the position of the head of the kang table, Qi Yun knew the rules of the countryside here, put his heart at ease, and was even a little moved, but at the same time he insisted on not accepting it, he was only willing to sit side by side with everyone, and solemnly introduced Hong Jian to the middle-aged woman who came to pick her up, and then the middle-aged woman, the eldest sister of Jin Wa, a student taught by Qi Yun in Wuyang Village, officially introduced Hong Jian and her to the group of strange villagers gathered in the house.

After some politeness, Qi Yun learned that Sister Hong had been married to this village for three years, and because of her diligence and ability, she gave birth to a pair of cute twins, and won some good popularity in the village. However, she was able to guarantee Qi Yun and Hong Jian, more thanks to her husband's eldest brother who had been an accountant in the village for many years, and it was almost the same if she didn't say a word in the village, as for where Qi Yun and Hong Jian were located, it was Sister Hong's eldest brother and sister-in-law's house.

Knowing that the woman who was detained by them turned out to be the legendary Teacher Qi of Wuyang Township, the attitude of the villagers immediately changed to a friendliness and enthusiasm mixed with guilt, so Qi Yun did not mention Hong Jian's identity too much, only said that he was his colleague who worked together in the city, but even so, such an identity also belonged to the "official family" in the eyes of the villagers, and she immediately heard the meaning of sincere fear and careful flattery in the local dialect around them.

Hong Jian didn't care, he sat cross-legged on the pit in an unsightly posture, chatted with the villagers enthusiastically, and asked them for a big tobacco pouch with thick tobacco stems to smoke, his dialect was not as authentic as Qi Yun's, but as soon as he smoked two bags of cigarettes, he could immediately call the people in the village brothers and sisters.

The people in the village asked them carefully about their intentions, and Hong Jian and Qi Yun were silent for a while. The villagers were embarrassed by the silence, and a dark, thin, shriveled man in his forties was pushed from behind the crowd.

"This is Hongying's husband...... Well, he's an honest man, and he didn't know where Hongying came from, so he bought her...... Now if you want to take Hongying away, his 500 yuan will be wasted...... But Teacher Qi, can you just don't punish him? ”

Sister Hong's eldest brother, the gray-haired and respected old accountant in the village, made a request to Qi Yun and Hong Jian. Qi Yun looked at the forehead wrinkles that were full of forehead as soon as she raised her eyes, and carefully looked at her and Hong Jian, the man who slipped around like a yellow croaker, what she thought in her heart was: The blind girl is blind, this may also be a good thing, so she doesn't have to see what kind of man lives with her.

The croaker-like man seemed to have mustered the greatest courage before he opened his mouth and uttered a few syllables indistinctly, while looking at Sister Hong pleadingly.

Rao is Qi Yun has a very neat grasp of the local dialect, and he can't understand what this man is talking about for a while, Sister Hong is obviously embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then pointed to the man and said to Qi Yun:

He said that when Hongying came to his house, he was very good to Hongying...... Hongying's body is not strong, and she is blind again, so let's talk about it...... That, if you want to find a good in-law again, you may not be able to do it, so it's better to ......"

Qi Yunqiao's face was flat, "How old is Hongying this year?" You know it's a crime, don't you? ”

The big man in a circle, Qi Qi was frightened by Qi Yun's not very vocal words, and the man who bought Hongying had his eyes scared, and finally fixed the focus, and swallowed hard to spit at the mouth,

"People...... Traffickers say she's 16 ......"

Qi Yun didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he gave him a fierce look:

"You know it's human traffickers? How dare you believe what human traffickers say? Let me tell you, Hongying is only 12 years old this year, and it is the first felony for you to buy her; Forcing her to ...... Living in your house is another felony! ”

Hearing this, the man suddenly squatted in the corner of the house like a frosted eggplant, unable to say a word again.

The married women's mothers-in-law and aunts in and out of the house suddenly blew up their nests and talked about it. Red Ying is only 12 years old? They were deceived by human traffickers! How long does a 12-year-old girl have to raise before she can have children? The days in the mountains are hard, Hongying's small body is weak at first glance, whether she can live enough to add Ding to this family, only God knows.

After all, Qi Yun is a girl's family, and some words are embarrassed to say. So Hong Jian simply told the villagers about Hongying's life experience, the situation at school, and the illegal work in a nightclub after meeting the friends in the society, and later became pregnant because of a vicious criminal case, and took an improper way to abortion. When he finished speaking, the thin man squatting in the corner pulled his own hair even harder,

"I drank pesticides and hit the doll, and I shed a lot of blood, so I can't give birth to wow! Scammed! Scammed! ”

Qi Yun glanced at him, unable to tell whether there was more sympathy or disgust in his eyes. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was awkward and strange, Sister X's sister-in-law hurriedly took Qi Yun's hand and explained in a low voice flatteringly:

"We are very poor in this place, and there are many singles, and neither one or two can afford to ask for a daughter-in-law. That's it, it's weird that feng shui is weird, and there are few daughters-in-law who can give birth to dolls, and seeing that the whole village is going to cut off cigarettes, it's no wonder that everyone is anxious. Teacher Qi, you can take care of more. ”

Qi Yun was almost about to shoot the case, and he couldn't even care about the shyness of the unmarried girl, and replied sharply:

"I saw Hongying sweeping the yard early in the morning, don't mention the cold-you also said that you know that her body is not good, she is a woman with an iron body, let her freeze a few times, and she can't give birth to a doll if she keeps it."

Qi Yun's mother was a well-known chief physician of obstetrics and gynecology in the province before becoming a housewife, Qi Yun pretended to be a doctor to see the little female companions since he was a child, and the child didn't know what shyness was, and gradually he also knew a lot of common sense.

The accountant's daughter-in-law asked, "Teacher Qi, you said that this is cold...... Does it have anything to do with giving birth to dolls? She looked embarrassed, and then continued: "However, if women don't do the work at home, who will do it?" ”

Qi Yun said patiently: "If it is a daughter-in-law who has married seriously, it is natural to do her own work, but most women's bodies are naturally intolerant of cold and cold, even if you want to clear the snow, it is best to wait until around noon." If you go out early in the morning, you will be easily attacked by the cold wind evil, and the qi and blood in the body will not be smooth when it is cold, so the 'seeds' planted in this way will definitely not be easy to develop into babies. ”

The women looked at each other, one or two half-convinced, and the accountant's daughter-in-law asked again:

"Teacher Qi, our village has the custom of clearing snow early in the morning, in order not to delay the men to work in the fields, and it is also the mother-in-law and aunt of the family who sweep it - according to you, this has something to do with the lack of dolls in our village?"

Qi Yun nodded, "That's right." And water is scarce in your village, right? Let me tell you, the more water is in this kind of place, everyone is not in a position to pay too much attention to personal hygiene, and women do not pay much attention to gynecological hygiene, and they are more or less prone to gynecological diseases, which is also one of the reasons why there are fewer children in the village. ”

The mothers-in-law and aunts in the village regarded "Teacher Qi" as a living bodhisattva, but they didn't expect that she, a young girl, would still understand this, and they were surprised and delighted. Qi Yun said that night with a dry mouth, and fell asleep at night as soon as he touched the pillow, and when he saw Hong Jian the next day, he couldn't help but complain:

"Yesterday, this sitting doctor was a doctor, but I was tired to death!"

Hong Jian laughed, "Teacher Qi, you are facing a group of chattering middle-aged rural women, and you are popularizing the law and making up for the physiology and hygiene class, so it's strange if you are not tired!" ”

Qi Yun also crossed his waist and laughed three times, and said angrily: "What does it matter if you are tired? The important thing is: what we want, we get it! ”

Hong Jian also felt lucky. Last night, Qi Yun relied on her former "fame" and a night of looking and hearing, and quickly won the trust and love of the villagers, especially the women, when she euphemistically mentioned that she needed Hongying to testify for them, Hongying happily agreed not to say anything, and even the villagers in the whole village were clamoring to stand up and testify for Qi Yun.

Therefore, they will set off from here today and take the agricultural vehicle specially sent for them back to the county seat, which was very dangerous when they came, but fortunately they had a great success on the way back.

What made Qi Yun feel a little uncomfortable was that she and Hong Jian repeatedly asked Hongying if she wanted to go back to their home in the county town with them, but Hongying insisted on refusing such an arrangement after her initial emotions were out of control and calmed down.

Hongying said: Even if she goes home, she won't be able to raise her head for the rest of her life. Who would look down on a woman like her? Even her biological father regarded her as a shoe that made countless feet tattered, eager to throw it aside, and finally someone was willing to spend 50 yuan to "buy" it, and her father was already overjoyed and quickly got rid of it, where is he willing to agree to "return"? As for raising a blind man like her at home for the rest of her life, she doesn't even hope for it.

The next morning, Qi Yun and Hong Jian asked Hongying for the last time before setting off. Hongying's attitude at this time was already very resolute, saying that she was willing to follow the thin middle-aged man who often slipped around like a yellow croaker and lived a good life with him for the rest of her life. Hongying explained: The man is an honest man. When she stepped through the door of his house, the man had not abused her much; He didn't use force to possess her, he knew that she was not in good health, and he still suppressed his desires; Usually considerate and caring for her. The man's family is poor, and the people are not prosperous, so it is inevitable to do some work, but the man listened to Qi Yun's words and knew that those jobs that were too hard, too tired and too cold could not be handed over to Hongying to do, and he repeatedly promised to help Hongying recuperate as much as possible in the future, and when Hongying grew up for a few more years, he also counted on her to add Ding to his family.

This attitude made Hong Jian, who was born as a law school student, disagree, but who doesn't have a difficult scripture? He talked to the man once and made sure that the man did not deceive Hongying - to be honest, even if he was twice as capable as he is now, it would be difficult to make proper arrangements for a blind girl like Hongying, so he had to act expediently according to her own wishes for the time being.

Qi Yunlin got into the farm car, and glanced back at Hongying's swollen hands like radishes, her little face that looked blue and yellow because of malnutrition, her thin lips were pursed tightly, and she could vaguely see the girl's beautiful outline. Qi Yun had mixed feelings in his heart, and he only felt that he didn't dare to take another look, and said in his heart: We must not let more girls fall into such a situation.

She felt that she suddenly had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
