Chapter 45: The Temptation to Go Home
At this time, Xiao Youchen in Bo Yi's arms suddenly woke up, he was just learning to speak, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he screamed in a milky voice: "Grandma, grandma......" It seems that he is addicted to milk.
Bo Yi originally felt a little embarrassed to be angry, but this little Youchen's milk scream just made him feel less embarrassed.
"Youchen is good, don't cry! When you get to town, Daddy will get you grandma to eat. ”
Shumei quickly took care of Boyi's wound, "Come, give me Xiao Youchen!" ”
Shumei took Xiao Youchen, turned her back to Bo Yi, and lifted her blouse to feed Xiao Youchen's milk. The child ate human milk for the first time, and at first he didn't know much, Shumei assisted him to eat with her hands, and tasted the sweet milk, Xiao Youchen began to suck hard.
In order to return home, the child can still eat his own milk. For so long, when Shumei's milk rose, she squeezed out the milk to prevent it from returning.
Seeing Shumei feeding the child, Bo Yi was still a little embarrassed, got up and walked out of the cave, leaned against the entrance of Shandong, and lit a cigarette.
One, two, three...... Bo Yi doesn't remember how many cigarettes he smoked and rescued Shumei, he should have been happy in his heart, but he didn't know why, but he was extremely depressed in his heart.
It wasn't until Shumei walked up behind him and told him to leave that he dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and prepared to pick up the child.
"Give me the baby!"
"You have a wound on your arm, let me hold it! We hurried back to the town and brought the police to save the innocent people. ”
Shumei walked forward with the child in her arms, and Bo Yi followed closely after her.
"Saving people? Forget it! I finally got out of the wolf's den, and I was afraid that things would change when I went back, and the people here were fierce, and I was afraid that the police wouldn't be able to control it. ”
"No, I promised to save Qianqian, this prison-like day, I am also a woman, how can I watch my compatriots suffer and ignore it! It is necessary to let the officials know and let them change this bad customs, otherwise more people will be harmed in the future. ”
"You and I have no basis for empty words, how can we move those high-ranking officials."
"Now that it's been reform and opening up, don't they all advocate equality, peace and freedom for all? I believe that the police are also reasonable, and we are not liars, we are saving people, and they will not care. ”
Shumei's words were sonorous and powerful, and Bo Yi couldn't refute it anymore, so the two rushed along the road to the town. Fortunately, they stopped a tractor on the road and took a ride, so they didn't have to travel a lot.
Sitting on the pile of sugarcane in the back of the tractor, Shumei looked around in her arms, watching Xiao Youchen in an unfamiliar environment.
"Bo Yi, you are really, it is so dangerous to come to me, why do you still bring Xiao Youchen with you, in case you bump into it, you will regret it."
Bo Yi smiled reluctantly, and didn't answer Shumei's words, everything was already in the past, he didn't want Shumei to have any psychological burden, and he didn't want Shumei to know Wen Dazui's complaints.
Back in the town, the two of them felt the police station in a hurry and explained the situation to the police.
The director called the county for instructions, and the county leaders immediately dispatched manpower, followed Shumei and them back to the village, accompanied by ideological propagandists specially assigned by the county, and the film broadcast team.
Before, they had only heard some rumors, but there was no substantial evidence, and there were people who had come to visit unannounced and did not find any problems with human trafficking. Now with Shumei, a person with personal experience, the county leaders dare to take substantive action.
The leadership instructed: Let everyone be equal, let the spring breeze of reform and opening up blow all over the north and south of the river, and let the feudal ideology completely disintegrate.
Once at the entrance of the village, the police did not directly break into the village, but were stationed outside the village. The villagers also stopped the entrance of the village with sticks and sticks, just as they did when they greeted Boyi, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
Drow, who had a strip of cloth wrapped around his head, spotted Shumei from the crowd, and he was angry like an angry lion, holding up the flat pole in his hand, and rushed towards Shumei and Boyi. Bo Yi quickly stretched out his right hand and steadily caught the flat burden that came towards Shumei's head.
Fortunately, the police intervened to stop it, otherwise Bo Yi would have had to fight with Zhuoer again.
can see that the police and Zhuoer clashed, and the villagers, who had always been united, also surrounded them, menacing, as if they were going to fight to the death with the police.
Seeing that he was about to fight, the director took out his matching gun, fired two shots into the air, and fired a warning gun to prevent an unnecessary fight.
The villagers retreated to the entrance of the village, still with no intention of letting them go.
Calm then returned, and the two sides continued to look at each other. Time passed like this, and the director did not give the order to enter the village.
Shumei was so anxious to see this situation that she stomped her feet, and found the director who took the lead and asked: "Director, why don't you enter the village!" Staying here won't help! If it's too late for them to hide all the people they bought, it won't help you to go in again? ”
"Even if we attack it now, we may not be able to rescue the victims, and the county leaders said that if we want to uproot such an atmosphere, we must not just rely on raising soup to stop the boiling, but we must draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and start from the root."
Shumei actually has this idea in her heart, but her vision is limited, where does she know how to treat the symptoms and cure the root cause, "That's it?" Although she didn't quite understand, since they had come, Shumei believed that they would not only thunder and not rain, but would definitely keep their word.
Shumei held the child and wandered anxiously, expecting them to act quickly.
Under the command of the director, the film broadcast team set up a movie scaffolding at the entrance of the village and hung a projection cloth.
When night fell, the director directed the film team to play a film to promote gender equality. In this backward village without electricity, they must have never seen such a new thing as "movies". All the people in the village rushed to tell each other, and all gathered around the village entrance to see the miracle.
The villagers were all attentive, and the young man with the "weapon" in his hand also relaxed his vigilance. Raise your head and look at the screen intently.
After one was played, the ideological propagandist took the megaphone and asked the villagers loudly: "Do the villagers still want to watch it again?" ”
The villagers withdrew from the thorns all over their bodies, and they all rushed back to see and see.
At this time, the ideological propagandist began to take the opportunity to do ideological work, "I am a propagandist in the town, I have something to say to the villagers, when I finish speaking, we will show the movie to everyone again, I am a woman, the daughter of an old mother, and I am also a mother of a child." I have my own job, I can earn money to support my family, earn money to be filial to my parents and elders, and share the heavy burden for my husband. ”
The propagandist saw that the villagers had no resistance, paused for a moment, and continued: "Now is the reform and opening up, it is no longer the old society, and now it advocates equality between men and women. On the contrary, daughters are husbands and children, busy with everything else, more worthy of respect than men, women are no longer tools for giving birth to children, they should be treated gently. As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, a marriage that you love and I want is a happy one, and love cannot be bought with money. The county magistrate said that in the future, the concrete road will be repaired to the village, and the electricity will be connected to the village, and the movie will be shown in the village every year. The county magistrate has only one wish, that is, to let the villagers buy the freedom of the women, who also have relatives at home, and perhaps the elderly parents are stupidly guarding the entrance of the village, waiting for them to go back. A good man should be self-reliant, a man with ability does not worry about having a daughter-in-law, there are many good girls outside, go out and have a look......"
Many women who have been sold here and have put their roots here have shed two lines of homesick tears.
Shumei was also said by the words of the ideological propagandist, with tears in her eyes.
Under the persuasion of the propagandist's painstaking words, moving with reason, and knowing with affection. The woman, who has been sold here for a long time and has gained freedom of movement, is beginning to waver.
Speaking of "gaining freedom of movement", it is necessary to explain. Usually the women who are sold here will not have the opportunity to step out of their own yard at first, let alone come to the entrance of the village. Only those who have already given birth to children here, and the men feel that they have died down, will give them the opportunity to move around the village.
"Ah, I've been here for ten years, I'm afraid my parents don't even remember what I look like, and now they're old. I really plan to stay and live with you, but can I take the children with us, let's go back to see them together, and do our best to show filial piety. ”
A woman with tears in her eyes began to persuade her man in sincere words.
looked at the woman who had slept with him for ten years, plus the words of the propagandist just now. This man named Ah Duo was buried deep in his heart and began to be slowly released.
"Okay, let's go home, we'll go tomorrow."
The man took the woman by the hand and returned to the village, giving up stubborn resistance.
Seeing this, other women also persuaded their men. Some women who didn't want to stay here went straight to the police line, hoping that the police would take them out of here.
There are fewer and fewer people at the entrance of the village, and the previously impregnable line of defense is suddenly gone. The village chief then led the police into the village and rescued the women who had just been sold.
Shumei followed closely behind them, hoping to see the hard-working Qianqian again. It's a pity that she didn't see Qianqian in the end.
"Director, no, there is another one, her name is Xiong Qianqian, and she was sold with me."
Shumei couldn't see Xiong Qianqian, she was a little anxious, grabbed the arm of the director who was already preparing to return to the town, and said anxiously.
The director looked at the village chief who came to see everyone off, "Village chief, is there anything missing?" ”
"No, recently, we really only bought so much in our village."
