Chapter 971: A Woman Is Locked Up
Tang Le and Guo'er went to the village chief's house together, and the village chief's house was much better, it was actually a big tiled house, which was still very conspicuous in this mountain.
Qin Zhaosheng and his two children also came together.
The village chief's daughter-in-law had already prepared the meal and warmly greeted Tang Le and Guo'er to the table.
Guo'er took a look at the dishes on the table, and the more characteristic mountain dishes, a fried wild snail, a fried dried bamboo shoots with slices of meat, and scrambled eggs with green peppers, and green vegetables, which looked pretty good.
"Ah Xin, come out for dinner." The village chief's daughter-in-law screamed.
"Oh!" A voice came from inside.
Then a big boy with a fat head and big ears walked out, saw a guest, and smiled at the two of them stupidly.
As soon as Guo'er saw it, she realized that something was wrong, this seemed to be a demented child?
The village chief's daughter-in-law took a big bowl full of rice, put some vegetables in the bowl, and said to her son: "There are guests today, Ah Xin will sit on the side and eat." ”
"Oh!" Ah Xin answered very obediently, took the rice bowl and sat on the low stool on the side.
The village chief beckoned Qin Zhaosheng to serve with him, as well as Qin Yu, but he didn't ask the little boy who donated bone marrow to serve on the table, but just loaded some rice and sandwiched some vegetables for him, and asked him to sit on the side with Ah Xin to eat.
Guo'er felt very strange in her eyes, if it was that little boy who donated bone marrow to Qin Yu, he should be very grateful to him, why did he be so neglectful to him?
But Guo'er didn't want to ask, but kept these doubts silently in his heart.
"Come, eat vegetables, there are no good dishes in the mountains, you are welcome." The village chief greeted him warmly.
Tang Le nodded, "It looks good, what is this?" Tang Le pointed to the wild mountain snail and asked.
"This is a mountain snail, we all went to the mountains to pick it up, and this bamboo shoot was also dug in the bamboo forest in the spring, and then dried into a dry one, which is a good thing. But it's a pity that we don't have access to roads in the mountains and can't sell them. The village chief said.
"If you want to build roads first, it still makes sense, you are too mountainous here, and the roads are not easy to repair." Tang Le said.
"Yes, the road is difficult to repair, and the above refuses to allocate funds, where does our village have its own money, the more poor it gets, and many families can't marry a daughter-in-law." The village chief said.
"You can go out to work, and now there are many opportunities in the south ......," Tang Le said.
"Yes, there are already a lot of people who have gone out, and some of them who have made money are building houses at the foot of the mountain, but our ancestors are here, and we are reluctant to leave, and those poor people can't leave if they want to." The village chief sighed.
"So we want to help with this matter, but there is really nothing we can do, and I hope your hospital can help us solve the child's problem."
Tang Le nodded, "After I go back, I will report the situation here to the dean as soon as possible." ”
After lunch, it was raining heavily, and it had been raining all afternoon, and Tang Le and Guo'er were going to leave, but now they can't go.
"Why don't you stay at home tonight? The rain is so heavy, the road on the mountain is slippery and very difficult to walk, this beautiful little girl should not wrestle, and she will leave tomorrow when the weather is fine, right? The village chief said.
Tang Le didn't want to stay overnight, but he really couldn't go, it was getting dark again, and it was not safe in the mountains, so he agreed to come down.
After dinner in the evening, the village chief's daughter-in-law brought washing water for the two of them, and they brought their own towels.
"I'm sorry sister-in-law." Guo'er said.
"Don't bother, you wash slowly." The village chief's daughter-in-law smiled, "By the way, how do you stay at night?" ”
"We are husband and wife, one room is enough." Tang Le said first.
In this unfamiliar place, he is not worried about being alone.
"That's easy, I don't have many rooms in my house, and there is still one to spare." The village chief's daughter-in-law said.
When Guo'er saw Tang Le say this, it was difficult to say no.
The village chief's daughter-in-law took the two to a side room, "You will sleep in this room tonight, it's a little simple, don't dislike it." ”
"No, thank you, sister-in-law!" Guo'er said hurriedly.
Looking at the basin of water, Guo'er was a little worried.
"What's wrong?" Tang Le asked.
"I want to take a shower, but it seems to be too much of a hassle." Guo'er said, the main thing is that after walking for so long on the mountain road today, I have long been sweating, and it is uncomfortable not to take a bath.
"Shall I go talk to the village chief?" Tang Le said.
"Forget it, it's too troublesome, just wipe it off." Guo'er said.
"Then you're in the room, and I'm on the outside." Tang Le said that it may be inconvenient to take a bath in the poor conditions in the mountains, and he is not at ease, always feeling that this place is not safe.
After scrubbing the fruit, Tang Le poured the water and went to fetch a basin of water.
The two of them were lying on the bed with clothes, and they didn't change their pajamas, and they always felt insecure in this strange place.
"Tang Le, I always feel a little weird here, I don't know why." Guo'er leaned beside Tang Le, hugged his arm, and whispered.
"I also think it's a little strange, it seems that there are a lot of things wrong, but I can't say what is wrong, let's leave a little earlier tomorrow." Tang Le said.
"Hmm!" Guo'er closed her eyes, she was very tired after a busy day today.
The two soon fell asleep.
slept until midnight, Guo'er was woken up by a strange sound, and hugged Tang Le, "Tang Le ......"
"What's wrong?" Tang Le woke up.
"Listen, what's the sound?"
Tang Le listened, "It's nothing?" ”
"If you listen again, it seems that someone is crying, and there are strange voices......" Guo'er hugged Tang Le's arm.
When Tang Le heard this, he really heard a little movement and sat up.
"What is it?" Guo'er asked nervously.
Tang Le shook his head, "shhhh ”
"I'll go with you!" Guo'er grabbed him, she didn't dare to stay here alone.
Tang Le nodded, "Follow me!" ”
Gently opened the door and poked his head out, there was no one, everyone should have fallen asleep.
Tang Le took out a small flashlight from his duffel bag, took Guo'er's hand and walked out quietly.
"The sound seems to be coming from behind there." Guo'er pointed to the back of the wing, where there was a wooden house.
Tang Le nodded, took Guo'er's hand, looked around, made sure that there was no one, and tiptoed out.
It had been raining heavily outside, and the road was a little muddy, so the two walked cautiously.
I walked to the hut, pushed the window, pushed it, opened the window a little and looked in, but I couldn't see anything.
Tang Le looked at the side again, turned on the flashlight and shone it in.
The people inside were suddenly alarmed, and turned their heads violently, making a violent noise.
Only then did Tang Le and Guo'er find out that there was actually a person tied inside, still a woman, very young, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth, her body was chained, and her hands and feet were also tied.
When the woman saw someone coming and struggled desperately, she made a whining sound on her lips and the chains on her body rattled.
The two were taken aback, what was the situation? Why is there still a person locked up?
The woman could not speak, but could only look at them with wistful eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"Tang Le......" Guo'er shouted in a trembling voice, this can't be abducted by human traffickers, right?
Tang Le's heart was also beating suddenly, and he gently closed the window, and the people inside were anxious and made a louder sound.
"Let's go!" Tang Le took Guo'er's hand and quickly stepped back.
"Tang Le, was that person abducted? We're going to save her! Guo'er whispered.
"Let's talk about it later!" Tang Le covered Guo'er's mouth, walked to the front, thought about it, and then retreated, picked up a piece of firewood on the side, walked to the window, and swept away the traces of himself and Guo'er walking backwards.
Walked to the edge of the wing, made sure that there were no footprints, threw the firewood far away, asked Guo'er to take off his shoes, washed the soles of the two of them with water under the eaves, and then quietly returned to the house.
