Feishi Village, located in a mountain col.

Su Dongli and the others were standing on the hillside on the side of the village at this time.

Not far from the village, there is also a not-so-small waterhole.

Looking down from the heights, the blue waves ripple, and it is summer, and the village is located deep in the mountains, surrounded by verdant trees, and when the wind blows, you can faintly hear the rustling of leaves.

There were five or six children at the entrance of the village who didn't know what game they were playing, and there was a tall banyan tree next to them.

Some women and elderly people were holding pu fans, talking and laughing and chatting.

It looks like a bit of a paradise.

"Let's go, let's go into the village."

Team Leader Qin said and beckoned the person who led the way this time.

Walk along the winding mountain path towards the village, which is still a long way from the entrance to the village.

The people chatting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village found out.

"Hurry up and inform the old village chief, the doctor from the city has arrived."

I don't know who shouted.

As soon as Su Dongli and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, a large group of people came out of the village, men and women, old and young.

All with smiles on their faces.

"Welcome to Feishi Village, the organization has not forgotten us, everyone is tired."

The village chief of Feishi Village is an old man who is close to sixty years old, holding a cigarette pouch and pot in his hand.

"Everyone, please come into the village."

"Lao Wang's family, you took a few people to boil water and cook, these doctors must be hungry when they come all the way."

Immediately, a woman in her forties answered, and without her greeting, several of them followed her and turned to walk towards the village.

"I'm sorry everyone."

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, if you want to say trouble, it's still your trouble, come all the way to the village and see a doctor for us."

The old village chief smiled and waved his hand.

The group entered Feishi Village surrounded by villagers and came directly to the courtyard of the village committee.

"Doctors, please sit down and have a glass of water."

As soon as the old village chief's words fell, someone came over with water.

One of them, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, handed a bowl of water to Su Dongliang.

"Sister drink water."

"Thank you."

Su Dongli smiled and reached out to take the water bowl.

This little girl is very delicate, her eyes are pure, but she is a little thin, and her clothes are not only ill-fitting, but also patched everywhere.

Her gaze touched the little girl's somewhat short sleeves, and she found a bruise on the yellowish skin underneath.

I could only see a little bit, and judging from the scar, it looked like I was beaten by a rattan or something.

"Sister, are you also a doctor?"

Su Dongli nodded with a smile and looked at the little girl's forearm.

"What's wrong with your injury?"

Hearing this, the little girl seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly pulled down her sleeves to cover the bruises, took two steps back, and turned around and ran away.

Such a move made Su Dongli stunned, and he stared at the back of the little girl leaving in a bit of confusion.

I thought unconsciously in my heart.

"Am I that terrible? Why do you still run away? ”

Just as she was wondering, a voice sounded beside her.

"Xiaoyan girl is also pitiful, she will be beaten by her mother in three days."

Hearing this, Su Dongli turned his head to look and saw a woman in her thirties standing behind the right.

"Sister, what's going on?"

When the woman saw that she was interested, she didn't hide it, and poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told all the things about this girl.

Feishi Village is located in the deep mountains, and although there are fields in the village, there are not many of them.

Most of the people in the village rely on going up to the mountains to hunt, collect medicines, and occasionally go to the big waterhole outside the village to catch fish.

Because the village is too closed, the medicinal materials collected are all stored enough, and everyone makes an appointment to go to the town to sell them.

Although you can't get many medicinal herbs out at a time, the money you get in exchange for a little oil, salt, sauce and vinegar is still enough.

Life is primitive and hard.

A year ago, Xiaoyan's father injured his leg while hunting in the mountains, and because of the poor medical conditions in the village, he did not receive effective treatment, and now he can still live in bed.

In the countryside in these years, the male labor force is definitely the backbone of a family.

Xiaoyan's family has a total of seven people, young and old, and the two old people are also in their sixties.

Then there are three children, Xiaoyan is the eldest and is only twelve or thirteen years old, the second is just nine years old, and the eldest is five years old.

They are still children, so naturally they can't have any labor.

The pressure on the family's life, because of Xiao Yan's father's injury, all pressed on Xiao Yanniang.

So for more than a year, I couldn't eat enough every day, and after being busy, Xiao Yanniang couldn't bear it, and her temper became a lot more irritable.

Not only did he beat and scold Xiaoyan, but even the old couple and her husband who was lying on the bed were not spared.

The only ones who could survive were her two young children, both of whom were sons.

Xiao Yanniang is also a person with a serious patriarchal concept, those two boys are also very naughty, every time they get into trouble, Xiao Yanniang is reluctant to clean them up.

Then the unlucky one is naturally Xiaoyan.

This is not this morning, because their second child beat the similarly old child next door to their house, and people came to the door to find trouble.

Xiao Yanniang was fried at that time, and grabbing the rattan and aiming it at Xiao Yan was a violent beating.

said that she was a sister, why didn't she look down on her little brother.

"What's the matter with this little Yan Niang, how can a big child be angry?"

When the woman was talking, Wang Qiuju and others on the side also shifted their attention.

At this time, it was Wang Qiuju who spoke.

"Hey, I've said this many times, Xiao Yanniang's temper is like a powder keg now, it will explode at a point."

The old village chief sighed and spoke.

"Although I'm a little grumpy, I'm still struggling to maintain that home."

"Even if it's hard, you can't beat a child like this, right?"

"Besides, it's the second child who is in trouble, why is it Xiaoyan who is being beaten?"

Wang Qiuju continued to speak.

The old village chief didn't know how to answer.

The idea of preference for sons over daughters is all too common in this era, not only in rural areas, but also in cities.

It is common to be beaten and not welcomed, and even some families will do things that lose their conscience when their children are just born.

When Su Dongli used to be in Longxi Village, he listened to the small talk of the people in the village, saying that some patriarchs are people who want to be serious, and when the child is just born, when they see that it is a girl, they will directly find a place to throw it away.

There are even ruthless people who directly fall to death for newborn girls and so on.

It's bad.

Su Dongli has never figured this out, what does this boy and girl have to do with it?

I don't know what these patriarchal people think.

Aren't men also born of women? Those women were even more puzzling to her.

You're all women, why don't you treat girls like this?

"Actually, Xiao Yanniang was not like this before, she was very easy-going, although she didn't want to see Xiao Yan, but she didn't do anything out of the ordinary."

"I guess it's too much pressure, after all, their family has seven or eight mouths waiting to eat."

"It's a bit to count on her alone..."
