Chapter Sixty-Seven: Sin Apricot Blossom Village
Shandong, Xinghua Village.
It is a small village with only a few dozen families. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is a mud road, which leads to the village, which is also the only way in and out of the village.
The sun is setting in the west, the afterglow is shining, and the whole village is filled with smoke. There are no small bridges and flowing water, no apricot blossoms, only Chinese cabbage all over the mountains, lush and green.
The entrance of the village was full of people, men and women, old and young.
One of them, dressed in a red robe, stood at the forefront, looking forward to it.
It was a middle-aged man with thinning hair, wrinkled skin, and a mouthful of large yellow teeth.
"Yo! Liu Lao Er wants to marry a daughter-in-law! ”
"Isn't it, I heard that his daughter-in-law is very good-looking, and she is only in her twenties!"
"Liu Lao Er is blessed this time, he is almost fifty years old, he has been a bachelor for a lifetime, but he didn't expect to pick up a cheap daughter-in-law for nothing!"
"What a vain pick-up, I heard that he spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy it, and the cabbage on his field was all gone, just to ask for a wife!"
"Tens of thousands of dollars are also worth it, I heard that it's a yellow flower girl!"
"Also, Liu Lao's second family has been passed down for three generations, and now he is the only one in his family, it is worth it to find a daughter-in-law to come and pass on the ancestry!"
"This Liu Lao Er is very short-tempered, I'm afraid that the girl can stand it, he has been holding back for half his life, and he has never smelled the smell of women, hehe! I don't know how he's going to toss tonight! ”
"If only I had his blessing, tomorrow I will also remove all the cabbage in the field, hehe......"
In the crowd, men, women and children were talking about everything, standing at the entrance of the village to watch the excitement.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Liu Laoer's eyes kept staring at the other end of the mud road, his eyes were eager, and inadvertently, saliva flowed out of the yellow teeth and formed a line.
"It's coming! Here it comes! Someone in the crowd shouted.
Following their gaze, looking west, two or three miles away, there was a dusty van, bumpy on the dirt road, slowly coming towards Xinghua Village.
There were three people in the car, a sloppy man, a fat woman, and a beautiful and elegant girl.
The girl's eyes were blindfolded, her hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was sealed tightly with a piece of duct tape.
This is a poor and helpless girl, she is Chen Xi!
The other two men and women are Zhu Hong, Feng Ling, and Feng Ling, who brought Chen Xi all the way. One was driving, and the other was looking at Chen Xi.
"I took a cruise from Yucheng, bumpy all the way, and then transferred from Wuhan, turned thousands of miles, and finally arrived! Untie her! Otherwise, people will see it and be afraid that they won't want it! Zhu Hong spoke.
"Brush!" Feng Ling tore the tape off Chen Xi's mouth and untied him.
Chen Xi exhaled a long breath.
For several days, she has been tied up, locked in a dark and dark space, unable to move, unable to breathe, only feeling back pain, dizziness, and numbness in her hands and feet.
In the darkness, she struggled and hesitated, but it was all in vain. The only thing she can do is be strong and fight against the darkness. She thought about him, and only in this way could she have the courage to be strong.
However, she moved further and further away from him.
A ray of sunlight shined through the glass of the rearview mirror and refracted onto her face, her face, pale and weak.
Chen Xi opened his eyes slightly, and the ray of sunlight suddenly became very dazzling.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she shivered as she looked at the receding trees on the side of the road, as if a demon was beckoning to her.
She came to a strange place, and this place, she was blank, without relatives and no reason.
"Where is this?" Chen Xi calmed down and asked.
"Shandong!" Feng Ling was beside him, and his tone was neither light nor salty.
"Shandong!" Chen Xi muttered, this place is already thousands of miles away, and then he said in a deep voice, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
"Of course I'm bringing you to get married, we found you a good family, and then life will be good, but don't forget our good!" Feng Ling said with a smile.
"Marry!" Chen Xi laughed miserably, "Uncle and aunt, can you let me go?" I'm still studying, and I don't want to get married! ”
"Are you kidding?" Zhu Hong spoke, "Let you go?" The two of us, who worked so hard to bring you here, let you go before the benefits were reaped? People can pay 60,000 yuan and let you go? Hum! Aren't the two of us working in vain? ”
"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for Miss Xiang'er's orders, I couldn't bully you, and you were quite honest along the way, I wouldn't have embarrassed you, otherwise, hum!" Zhu Hong said coldly, as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he sped up.
The car was violently bumpy and swaying, Chen Xi felt that his heart was overturned, he took a deep breath, and continued: "Uncle and aunt, if you let me go, I will compensate you twice as much as you lose."
"Double? Girl, that's more than 100,000, do you know what you're talking about? Can you take it? If you have money, is that so? Feng Ling smiled lightly, but in Chen Xi's eyes, the two fat balls on her face were hateful and hateful.
"I didn't, my boyfriend did!" Chen Xi calmed down, "You let me go, my boyfriend will definitely repay you when he receives me!" ”
"Your boyfriend?" Zhu Hong sneered, "Don't be whimsical! Do you really think that we brought you here for tens of thousands of dollars? If it weren't for Miss Xiang'er's personal orders, you would have deserved us to send them personally? Wake up, you're just a hairy girl from the countryside! Don't think we don't know what you're all about! ”
"Don't say we don't want to let you go, even if we want to, we don't dare, it's not a matter of money, it will kill us!"
Zhu Hong glanced at Chen Xi coldly: "Here, the conditions are much better than in the southwest, we finally found a good family for you, don't be ignorant!"
"I ......"
Chen Xi still wanted to say something, but there was already a disturbance outside, she looked out the window, and the crowd was already in front of her.
"Boom!" The van came to an abrupt halt.
"It's here, get off!"
Chen Xi was pushed out of the car by Feng Ling, staggered a few steps before standing firmly, she raised her head, and there was already a crowd of people all around, men, women and children, all looking at her with a smile on their faces, pointing and pointing.
Chen Xi felt very frightened, these people looked at her like a pack of hungry wolves, emitting a cold light, foraging for food, and she was just a helpless Mianyang.
What frightened her even more was that a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a mouthful of big yellow teeth was facing her. She saw in his eyes that he wanted to eat her!
"Liu Lao Er picks up his wife!" There was heckling in the crowd.
"Hey, hey! Daughter-in-law! Liu Lao Er came to Chen Xi and took her hand directly.
"I'm not your daughter-in-law!" Chen Xi wanted to retreat again, but that hand held her tightly, and she couldn't break free.
"I paid the money, go to sleep tonight, you are my daughter-in-law!"
"You ......" Chen Xi's eyes were torn, but he was helpless.
Liu Lao Er pulled Chen Xi with one hand, took out a stack of money from the red robe with the other, and handed it to Feng Ling in full view of everyone.
"Girl! Let's live a good life! Here we go! Feng Lingle said hehehe.
The gray van roared and headed west, farther and farther away in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"No!" Chen Xi roared, he didn't know where he got the strength, he pulled hard, broke free from Liu Laoer, and ran in the direction of the slanting sun.
"Yo! Run! ”
"Liu's second wife's wife ran away!"
At the entrance of Xinghua Village, it suddenly became noisy.
Chen Xi kept running, kept running, she didn't know where to run, she only knew that the sun was in the west, her home was also in that direction, she wanted to escape from this place, the farther away from this place, the better.
"Poof!" Chen Xi staggered and fell to the ground.
Her hands were worn out, but she didn't feel the pain, she just wanted to run, get out of here.
She stood up.
Just then, a dark shadow pounced on her.
"Smack!" A slap knocked Chen Xi to the ground.
"I spent a lot of money, and you still want to run? Then I'm not at a loss! That's my cabbage money for a season, and it's all spent on you! ”
"Uncle, let me go, I'll go home and give you back the money!" Chen Xi struggled to get up, and was tightly grasped by Liu Lao Er again.
"Tsk! You are my second daughter-in-law in this life, and I can't let you go! Liu Lao Er looked at Chen Xi, from head to toe, looking around.
In the crowd, there was another uproar.
"This girl is so beautiful, but why do you want to run!"
"I heard that Guizhou and Sichuan are very poor, hum! Married to our village, I don't know what kind of blessing she has cultivated in her life! Still want to run? ”
"I'm scared when I first came here!"
"It's just a beating! This Liu Lao Er is really good, it's too heavy! ”
"What do you know? It's just to fight, fight a few more times, and see if she dares to run! ”
"It seems that this girl has a very strong temperament, and she has to run sooner or later!"
"Run? Come on! Running back to Sichuan to go hungry? When a few dolls are born, will she still run? Look at the daughter-in-law of the Wang family and the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, which one didn't want to run away from the beginning, and now that she has a child, she is not obedient and obedient? ”
"Folks, I'm begging for a wife!"
Liu Lao Er stiffened his big yellow teeth, laughed, and directly carried Chen Xi on his shoulders and walked through the crowd.
Chen Xi struggled on Liu Laoer's shoulder, but his arm clamped her tightly, and she couldn't struggle.
"Uncle, aunt! I was abducted, I'm not his daughter-in-law, save me! I want to go home! ”
Chen Xi shouted while struggling, however, people turned a blind eye to her struggles and shouts, and her voice was quickly drowned out in the commotion and disappeared.
As the sun set, a ray of residual light shone on Chen Xi's face, her face was white and colorless, and her eyes were dim. She no longer struggles, she just quietly looks in the direction of the setting sun, her home, farther and farther away......
"It's the twilight sun, but we think it's the dawn of dawn......"
