But the picture suddenly turned, and it was that night when Lu Qiyan carried her out of the balcony on the fourth floor with one hand, letting her cry and beg for mercy, it was also as if he hadn't heard it, he still counted down lightly, three, two, one, forcing her to a dead end.

He said, Ye He, I'll let go when I count to three, okay?

Ye He was agitated and began to tremble again.

She wanted to forget all these memories.

Ye He sped up, the road ahead was getting more and more difficult to walk, it was completely different from the flat when she came, she was a little scared, and she couldn't wait for dawn, just by the light of the flashlight, she felt as if she was going in the wrong direction.

The steep mountain paths, the hideous rocks, became more and more silent, more and more gloomy, and it seemed that the movements of unknown creatures could always be heard and seen, such as the wind roaring like wild beasts, and the disorganized branches of trees like the withered arms of men.

The worst situation is that Ye He accidentally fell into the air and fell directly from the middle of the mountain, the hillside is not high, in addition to feeling very painful, she only suffered a small injury, which is a blessing in misfortune.

But Ye He didn't dare to go any further, she hugged her knees, tears kept falling in pain, it was useless to cry now, after crying for a while, she wiped it dry and waited quietly for dawn.

About four o'clock, the sun rose faintly, and the black gradually turned into a hazy blue, Ye He knew that there would be a lot of people calling her in the future, so she simply pulled out the phone card and threw it on the ground.

Now it's okay, all the back roads are blocked, and she must leave, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ye He went from the time when the sky was bright, until the sun was shining at noon, and then from the sun shining to the sun slowly setting in the west.

She didn't know what was going on in the academy, she lost a student, and it was estimated that it would be a mess, and she didn't know if Lu Qiyan would be very angry.

She didn't care about any of this, she only knew that she couldn't get out again, but it was really dangerous.

The signal of the mobile phone is completely blocked, and the battery is almost out, so navigation is useless at all. With a sense of direction that is a complete idiot, she walks around, and the more she goes, the more wrong she feels.

Fortunately, when hope was almost defeated, Ye He saw someone!

At that moment, she was almost about to cry, her energy seemed to have regained a few centimeters, and she trotted in the direction of the man, despite the pain in her knees.

The man was about forty years old, dressed simply and honestly, his accent was a little awkward, he should be a local, and Ye He only understood it bits and pieces later, he was a farmer from a nearby village.

Ye He clasped his hands together and prayed sincerely, "Uncle, can you take me out of this mountain?" ”

She originally wanted to ask for a direction, but she was too stupid, even if she asked for the direction, she might still go wrong, so she could only be cheeky and let people lead the way.

She remembered the way she came, what the name of the road was, and what its characteristics were, but she just wouldn't go, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten lost.

She could only compare with her uncle, who walked around for a while, a little embarrassed, "At this moment, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it will rain soon." ”

However, it was getting dark.

Ye He bit his lip, not knowing what to do?

The uncle estimated that she was embarrassed and pitiful, thought for a while, and said to her, "I don't know the way out, I don't know where you came from, but I know where I came from, why don't you follow me back to Er Village?" ”

Ye He hesitated, "That... Do you know the Western Suburbs Railway Station? Can I go there directly from your village..."

"I know this, although there is no direct car in our village, you can take Zhang Si's truck to the town, their family often goes to the town to do business, the truck goes back and forth day by day, and when you get to the town, you know how to go to the train station."

Ye He didn't know anything about Zhang Si, but this person should be a villager like the uncle, she heard that there was a way to go to the Western Suburbs Railway Station, and the whole person seemed to see hope.

"Little girl, if you come back with me, if you don't come back, I'll leave." After that, the uncle carried a large bundle of firewood.

"Okay." Ye He squeezed the strap of his schoolbag and followed behind him, "I'll follow you." ”

The uncle asked her questions all the way, what is the age, is she studying, and there is no malice in listening to it, it is nothing more than an old age, and she loves to talk about things.

Ye He also answered them one by one honestly.

He turned his head and smiled at her, "It's good." ”

After a while, I saw the outline of a village in front of me.

Only then did Ye He know that as soon as she left, she walked a long way, and walked directly into the depths of Crescent Mountain, which did not belong to the scenic spot, but fortunately, she met the nearby villagers.

The uncle's surname is Huang, he asked her to shout Uncle Huang, Ye He wanted to thank others, but he really didn't dare to touch the money on his body casually, it was not that she was stingy, it was that she was so tight on a little money, she would have to live in the future, so she had to share some of the food and drink in the schoolbag with the children in the courtyard of the Liu family, which could be regarded as gratitude.

The small village is very closed and remote, surrounded by mountains, and it does not look like the Crescent Mountain, but more like the rolling mountains near the Crescent Mountain, as if there is no end in sight.

Uncle Huang's wife is also surnamed Huang, and the two of them are kind and hospitable, even for strangers like Ye He, they are very warm. The people in their village drank their own well water, and they were afraid that she would feel unclean, so they went to buy several buckets of pure water to entertain Ye He, and the dinner was much more sumptuous than usual.

Knowing that she was a little girl who was lost in the mountains and was going to take the train, she went to explain a few words to Zhang Si's house next door after dinner, and Zhang Si agreed very happily. When everything was in order, Aunt Huang went to the commissary to buy her a lot of food, and Ye He had to take it away.

She was embarrassed to take it, after all, she was just an honest farmer, and she was already very grateful for eating and drinking here, and rubbing other people's cars.

Aunt Huang patted her on the shoulder, saying that she was obedient and sensible, and she looked fair, she liked it at a glance, and she was like her own daughter, so she didn't need to be polite.

Who doesn't have a problem when you're away from home? She's young, and she should have taken care of her a little more.

Ye He's eyes turned red, and he thought that this kindness must be remembered and not forgotten.

About seven o'clock in the evening, she heard the movement of the truck driving in outside the door of Huang's house, and heard a rough voice again, "Huang Laoer, who is your family going to the town?" ”

Ye He carried his schoolbag on his back and knew that it was almost time for him to go. The Liu family and his wife went all the way to the door, instructed them to pay attention to safety, and before getting into the car, she also bowed to them sincerely.

The driver's master is probably Zhang Si, who also looks like an ordinary peasant, has been exposed to the sun for many years, has dark skin, and has faint mud marks on his body. He didn't start the car directly, but talked to Uncle Huang through the car window, using the local dialect, Ye He didn't understand much, only saw Zhang Siben smiling, and then the more he talked, the more anxious he became, and the spit flew to her sitting next to her, and she couldn't help but feel a spirit, she didn't know what the situation was now and what happened.

In the end, Zhang Si seemed to be unable to say that Uncle Huang was over, and reluctantly took out a few more banknotes before stepping on the accelerator.

Ye He was a little uneasy, but when she thought that she would be in town in a while, and when she arrived in the town, there would be a car to go to the train station, and she saw hope again.

Halfway through the car, Zhang Si spoke a non-standard Mandarin and chatted with her casually, she listened reluctantly, probably asking her how old she was this year, where she went to school, how many people in the family and so on.

I don't know why, Ye He was not very willing to speak, Zhang Si probably saw it later, and he didn't mind much with a smile, but just told her that the road to the town was a bit far, so she could sleep first and wake up.

Ye He really didn't have a good rest, it didn't take long for her to be really sleepy, her eyelids were very heavy, and she lost consciousness unconsciously, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, she found that the road was becoming more and more barren, how to look at it, how it didn't look like the road to the town.

She asked Zhang Si a little nervously, but Zhang Si took a cigarette in her mouth and replied vaguely, soon, it will be there soon.

Ye He pursed his lips vigorously, becoming even more nervous.

I don't know how long the car stopped after driving, Ye He held the strap of his schoolbag and refused to get out of the car, because in front of him was a more remote and backward village, which didn't look like a small town at all. Zhang Si opened the car door and waved at her, "It's here, it's here." ”

She hesitated, "Did you really take me to town?" ”

Zhang Si only smoked a big cigarette by himself and didn't answer anything.

At this time, there were several middle-aged men and women dressed as villagers, their eyes fell on Ye He, their clothes were very old, greasy, their complexion was dark and yellow, their lips were nothing more than dark purple, with a dull layer of skin, and their faces were as if they were hanging with a layer of scorched earth, and their eyes were scattered and confused.

Ye He felt creepy.

"That's it?" One of the openings.

Zhang Si nodded, "Thirty thousand yuan, young, student, still from a big city, that stupid boss of your family is earned by blood." ”

The woman was carrying her clothes in her pockets, and in October she had put on a heavy cotton jacket, and her mouth was muttering dissatisfaction, "It doesn't matter where she comes from, it's the same here, you can be cheaper." ”

Zhang Si refused, "30,000 don't bargain, you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else, anyway, there are people who want it, and the bid is higher." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped in a hurry, and a group of people looked at each other, and discussed noisily for about ten minutes before they decided.

"Remember to call me on the day of the wedding wine." Zhang Si took the money, pushed Ye He out of the car, and left satisfied.

Ye He froze in place, facing a group of ill-intentioned eyes, and she knew that she had been sold.

turned around and wanted to run, but a few random people pulled her back, raised their hands to slap her, Ye He shrank back with a scream.

"If you are disobedient, you will be honest after a few beatings, and this is how Wang Mazi next door treats his daughter-in-law."
