Chapter 171: The Price of Kindness
"I am indeed a Gray Tribe, our family is an ethnic minority, our family's village is far from here, if this didn't happen, I don't think I would have come to the city in my life......",
The old woman burst into tears, she cried and told Chen Zhi and Fat Wei about her daughter with difficulty, but her dialect was very heavy, and her Mandarin was not clear, Chen Zhi and they could only guess while listening.
The old woman's daughter is Gui Zhi, only 17 years old this year, it is the same age as the flowers, Gui Zhi's heart is very pure, she is the only daughter in the family, people in the mountains get married early, Gui Zhi is talking about marriage and looking for her in-laws, but half a year ago, she encountered something she didn't expect.
The Gray people live in a big mountain in the northwest, and have lived by hunting and farming for generations, and their village is called Qingshui Village, where all the tribes have less than 20,000 people, all living together.
The folk customs of Qingshui Village are simple, they have a kind of national embroidery called "gray embroidery", known for their gorgeous and exquisite, but the output is not large, can not do commodity sales, the gray women are all ingenious, each is an embroiderer, they began to embroider their own wedding dresses since childhood, and do dowries when they grow up, each wedding dress is a skillful work of art.
However, the traditional concept of gray women is very heavy, which is very rare in today's society, and if a woman behaves unruly before marriage, she will be spurned by the clansmen.
Because the state has protection for ethnic minorities, the news of the outside world will never be transmitted into the village, and the location of Qingshui Village is extremely remote, the mountain road is rugged, there are no tourist attractions, so few tourists will come here.
In this deep mountainous area, the gray people of Qingshui Village have been living a life without fighting with the world.
But one day, a young man who was a tourist suddenly came to the village, he got lost in the mountains, broke his foot again, and fainted on the edge of the mountain stream.
For this sudden intrusion of the stranger, everyone thought it was very fresh, the gray people were not wary of the outside world, Guizhi's father was a barefoot doctor in the village, and when he saw that this young man was pitiful, he took him in and took him home to heal his wounds.
However, I didn't expect that Guizhi's Abba had a good heart for a while, but he left a sin for himself.
This young man lived in Guizhi's house for a month, Guizhi's whole family was very good to him, sent him food and medicine, and did not ask him for a penny, especially Guizhi was very concerned about this young man, this man was very talkative, Guizhi often listened to this young man talk about the outside world, and then laughed happily, and the people in the village said that Guizhi was going to marry outside the mountain.
Then the young man lived in the village for a month, and after recovering from his foot injury, he left. ”
But not long after, Guizhi's parents found that something was wrong with their daughter, she was always alone in a daze, and wanted to run outside inexplicably, but when she asked her where she wanted to go, she just cried silently.
As a barefoot doctor, Guizhi's father immediately became suspicious, and he found that Guizhi became very lethargic and vomited, and after a few months, Guizhi's belly gradually grew bigger!
When the old woman said this, she began to weep uncontrollably, and her face was full of shame,
"This kind of thing has never happened in our village, and the girls of the gray tribe will never give their bodies to others before they get married, and when they are old, even if they encounter mountain bandits in the mountains, they would rather die than obey.
So after Guizhi's belly was bigger, the gray people in our village couldn't tolerate our family, they began to dislike my daughter, and the old people in the clan also let the child and his father make it clear, otherwise they will drive us out of the village! ”
"Is the child the young man's?" , Chen Zhi asked.
"yes!" The old woman nodded in response, and then cried.
By this time, Gui Zhi couldn't hide it anymore, and finally told everyone the truth, she had married the young man, who gave her all the family rings, proposed to her, and promised the marriage.
Before leaving, the man said that he would talk to his parents first, and then come back to take Guizhi to the city, and when Guizhi wanted to leave the ring as a token, the man said that the ring was too old and needed to be cleaned before he could get married.
According to the rules of the village, the token was promised, and this family affair was completed, so Guizhi gave him his body at the man's request several times......"
"Oh my mom~~~, I said you Grey people are too real!" When Fat Wei heard this, he was so angry that he was about to jump up,
"I said Auntie, didn't I say you, these days, even if you pull the marriage certificate, you may change your hexagram, and a broken ring is considered an engagement? And the ring was taken away, you have a girl for nothing, it's really ......"
"Don't interrupt!" , Chen Zhi pushed Fat Wei and motioned for the old woman to finish.
Then the old woman continued,
"Since my daughter said so, the clansmen can't do it, but everyone has never seen the ring, there is no engagement token, and this matter is not clear, so her father has been keeping Guizhi at home, waiting for the man to come back......
The old woman wiped her tears with her wounded hands, and her eyes were full of sorrow,
"But after waiting for a long time, the man didn't come back~~~, my daughter is in a hurry, she has lost weight to a handful of bones, and she has gray hair, looking at that pitiful!
His father and I also felt ashamed, I didn't say good things to her in those days, and the people in the clan began to be suspicious, and they scolded my daughter, saying that she was a shoe that people wore and that she was a girl who conceived a child, and that she had lost the face of the whole village.
But on a rainy night, Gui Zhi suddenly sneaked out, and went out for more than 20 days, which frightened me and her father, and when she came back again, she looked so pitiful............
When the old woman said this, she began to weep aloud,
"Her stomach is gone, her whole body is wet, her legs are full of blood, half of her hair is gray, she is only 17 years old! took our lives......",
We guessed what was going on, she must have gone to the man, the man must have relied on the marriage, she had a miscarriage and ran back! ”
Her Abba was excited and gave her a slap, and then grabbed the sickle to find the man desperately, I chased him Abba to the mouth of the stockade, but his Abba vomited blood at once, fell to the ground and died.
Woo woo woo ~~~~~~", the old woman covered her face,
"The people in the village are disgusted with us, and no one cares about his father's funeral, so I had to bury his father hastily, but Guizhi has also become crazy since then~~~~"
"You said she became insane, what are the signs?" , Chen Zhi asked.
"She has become incomprehensible~~~", the old lady twitched her red nose and looked at Chen Zhi with red eyes,
"She didn't understand what I told her, and she spent the whole day going crazy, putting on the red wedding dress she had made, and walking back and forth in the house.
My daughter's hands are ingenious! She is the most ingenious girl in the village, her wedding dress is the most beautiful, she wears the wedding dress and talks to herself, and no one pays attention to anyone.
But sometimes she would tell me that she had to find a way to get the ring back, and to get revenge on those men........................" 12910
