July 2003.

A poor mountainous area in Province A.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and dawn always comes early.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, in the courtyard of an ordinary farmhouse, there was a sound of rushing water, and a girl in a cheap T-shirt and faded white jeans was sitting on a small stool to wash clothes. Her skin has a sunny and healthy malt color, her face is round like an apple, her eyebrows are so beautiful that they don't need to be modified at all, a pair of big eyes comparable to Zhao Wei are black and bright, her nose is pretty and smart, and her cherry mouth is crystal moist, which makes people think about it.

At this time, she was scrubbing clothes in a large plastic basin, including her mother-in-law's, her father's, and her uncle's.

She was visibly absent-minded today, looking around keenly as she washed her clothes.

She, Meng Yihui, just turned 22 this year, but she already has a five-year-old daughter.

Unfortunately, at the age of fourteen, she was lured out on the street by her mother, who then handed her over to a so-called acquaintance, and her fate changed forever.

She was abducted and sold layer by layer, and then married into this poor mountain village with closed traffic.

A thirty-three-year-old bachelor bought her for 30,000 yuan.

A young girl who is still underage and ignorant begins her hopeless life.

However, she was lucky, because her husband was quite good to her, and although she resisted at first and would be beaten by him, at least he would not share his wife with other brothers like other men. Because, his eldest brother is also single.

The whole village has become a famous singles' village.

Because of the preference for sons, many girls are drowned at birth, and it is not until adulthood that the contradiction of the imbalance between men and women is violently highlighted. And the women who survived in the village became treasures, so naturally they gave priority to marrying those with good conditions. As a result, those crooked melons and cracked dates or those with shabby family backgrounds naturally became singles.

And, as more and more boys grew up, the form of singles became more and more severe.

As a result, almost all the people in the village relied on spending money to buy wives in order to get married and have children.

Meng Yihui also thought about escaping, but she ran twice without success, and every time she was caught, she would be hung up and beaten by her husband.

Other women were even worse than her, often stripped naked and raped directly in front of everyone when they were caught, and then beaten to death.

The frightened Meng Yihui had no choice but to swallow her anger, first obey the man, remove his guard, gain his trust, and then wait for an opportunity to escape.

Eight years have passed.

She lived eight years of life worse than death.

Not long ago, the neighbor's little flower girl secretly told her that she was willing to help her escape.

And the time to escape is today.

Today, her husband went up the mountain with the quarrying team and will not return for at least three days.

Her mother-in-law went to the temple to burn incense, and she and her five-year-old daughter were the only ones in the house.

However, the people in the village are united. When a reconnaissance team to rescue the abducted women came to investigate, they unanimously discouraged them from entering the village at the cost of their lives.

Therefore, even if there is no family of her own, any woman who wants to run away will not run into other neighbors on the way.

She was observing the situation, waiting for Xiaohua to come and deliver a message to her.

At this time, her five-year-old daughter Yaya ran over sweetly, squatted in front of her, reached into the basin and followed the laundry.

"Mom, I'll do your laundry!"

Yaya inherited her beauty, with a round face, big eyes, and a small mouth and a pretty nose.

The family was very happy to have a daughter.

Because, they are fed up with only boys.

Yaya has also become the treasure of the family.

And her beauty is also recognized by the whole village, and everyone envies her man's good fortune and good luck, which may be one of the reasons why his man is not as bad as others abuse his wife.

"You don't have to help your mother wash it, you still have little strength now, go play by yourself!" Seeing Xiao like her own daughter, Meng Yihui had a sour nose.

"Then I'll give my mother a beating on the back!"

The smart and sensible girl said crisply, quickly got up and trotted behind her.

In this backward and isolated place, there is no kindergarten, and five-year-olds are still running around the mountains.

"Mom, shall I sing to you?" Yaya raised her fleshy little fist, for fear of knocking her mother into pain, and gently landed on her back, while saying happily, "Sister Xiaohua taught me to sing!" ”

"Okay, the song that Yaya sings is the best." Meng Yihui turned around and smiled at her daughter, although she had no love for that man, but Yaya was born in October when she was pregnant, and she was so well-behaved, it was impossible not to like it. "What song did Sister Xiaohua teach you again?"

"The sky is clear, the flowers are blooming/Smelling the flowers, I think of my childhood/My home is as sweet as bee candy/Happy little sister sings together/I accompany my father to play with the whole family today/There is a little frog hiding under the lotus leaves by the pond/I'm about to grow up, don't call me a child anymore/It's raining outside the car window, and the frog is ...... at home alone"

It's Zhao Wei's "Rattle". Xiaohua is a fan of Zhao Wei, and she can almost sing Zhao Wei's songs.

Yaya's voice was sweet and crisp, milky, and the small fist on her back also hit rhythmically, Meng Yihui thought that she was about to part with Yaya, her nose became more and more sour, and then her eyes were quickly covered with a layer of mist.

"The mountains are green, the water is blue, the sunrise is blue, the sea of clouds is seen/The waves are drumming, the sister is smiling and her face is red/The rainbow bridge road is bending, holding hands, not afraid of falling/

Daddy says you're a sweet burden......"

Yaya was still singing happily, not noticing that there was anything wrong with her mother.

Wait until she finishes singing, then put a pair of small gloves around her mother's neck, probe to the front and ask, "Mom, do I sing well?" ”

"Well, that's good! Our Yaya will definitely be a big singer in the future! Meng Yihui hurriedly forced back the tears in her eyes and smiled dotingly at her daughter. Is Yaya thirsty after singing for a long time? Mom is a little thirsty, can you help her bring over the bowl of water? ”

"Good!" The girl responded with a crisp voice, and then jumped to a bench made of stones not far away, on which was placed a bowl of water.

At this time, there was a coughing sound on the side of the courtyard gate made of wooden fences, and a white skirt corner floated by.

Meng Yihui's heart tightened, she knew that Xiaohua had come to pick her up.

The girl had already brought the water, because she was afraid that the water in the bowl would be spilled, she held the bowl in both hands, her eyes stared at the porcelain bowl, and her small legs were even more unable to take a step.

Meng Yihui was ruthless, stood up, took the initiative to greet Yaya, and then stopped in front of Yaya, smiled and coaxed: "Yaya is so good, my mother likes my Yaya the most." This bowl of water, can we drink half of it alone? ”

"Good! Then mom, you drink first! The girl handed the bowl to her.

"No, let's drink first!" Meng Yihui smiled a little reluctantly, and her voice seemed to tremble: "You are the princess of our family, no matter what, you have to use it first." Mom likes to drink leftovers. ”

"Good!" The girl who had no city in her heart obediently brought the bowl to her lips, took a sip carefully, and then took another sip, for fear that if she drank more, she would only leave a little bit for her mother.

Although at home, it is true that no matter what she eats, she is allowed to eat first, and then grandma and parents eat again.

But she loves her mother, and she wants to give all the good things to her mother first.

When she had drunk almost half of her gulps, a coughing sound sounded outside the door. And Yaya also drank half of the water, looked at the bowl and saw that there was still half left in the bowl, couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and then handed it to her mother: "Mom, drink it quickly!" ”

"Well, my maid is so good!" Meng Yihui couldn't help bursting into tears again, and then, she reached out and gently stroked Yaya's head, and said, "Yaya will listen to grandma and dad in the future?" Future...... Mom will find a way to pick you up in the future...... Are our maids sleepy and want to sleep now? ”

"Well, Mom, I'm a little dizzy, I want to sleep!" Yaya only felt that her mind was confused, her consciousness was a little scattered, her legs had lost strength, and she was about to fall softly.

Meng Yihui hurriedly threw away the bowl and reached out to catch her, then carried her into the room quickly, and laid her flat on the small bed, but the tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed: "Yaya, I'm sorry, my mother can't take you away!" But mom promises that she will come back to pick you up! You must be healthy and healthy, and don't blame your mother, okay? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she relentlessly took out the luggage that had been packed from under the bed, reluctantly glanced at her daughter who was in a coma again, and turned around and walked towards the door.

At the same time, the maid, who seemed to feel that her mother was about to leave, suddenly murmured with a crying voice: "Mom, don't go!" Mom! Mom! ”

More tears poured out of her eyes, but Meng Yihui gritted her teeth and finally rushed out of the door.

……

Xiaohua covered her to escape from the village, and let her catch the tractor that the young man who had a crush on him in the neighboring village, Ermao, who transported pigs to the town to sell, and stuffed a roll of money into her: "Sister Yihui, this is the New Year's money I have saved, but it is not much, only two hundred yuan, which should be enough to leave the county seat." Go home and reunite with your family, don't come back! Yaya, I'll take care of her for you! ”

"Xiaohua, thank you, I'm ...... I have nothing now, and I can't say anything to repay you. She held Xiaohua's hand with tears in her eyes and said from the bottom of her heart, "But in the future, as long as we can still see each other, no matter what you ask me to do, I will help you do it, if you can't repay it in this life, then in the next life, I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life!" ”

"Sister Yihui, don't say such things, let's go!" Xiaohua urged anxiously, and then told Ermao to say, "Do you want to send Sister Yihui to the car?" If something happens to her, don't think about us! ”

"I will, don't worry!" Ermao promised like a military order.

……

The tuk tuk sounded, white smoke billowed from the tractor's engine, and it sped onto the gravel road.

Seeing that the figure of Xiaohua waving at her was getting smaller and smaller, and the place where she had lived and been imprisoned for eight years was gradually moving away, Meng Yihui finally couldn't help crying loudly.

Although the smell in the car was unpleasant, and there were a few pigs snorting and screaming next to her, she was so happy and emotional when she was free, not to mention sitting in the pig car, even if there was a pile of pig next to her, she could burst into tears with joy.

Finally, finally, she got what she wanted.

In front of you, there is a free sky, and between your noses, you breathe free air.

She, liberated!

She's new!
