Liu Yi's face, which had been tense, suddenly cracked, smiled, and patted Lu Yi's shoulder angrily.

"You girl."

Seeing that Liu Yi was no longer black-faced, Mu Qiu also smiled and took the two back to the bedroom.

Closing the door and packing up the space, Mu Qiu couldn't help but quip: "Actually, I can't wait to go back early, I have slept on the bench for two days, and I am going to become a bench." ”

Lu Yi smiled: "I think everything in this place is good, the folk customs are really too strong, I was really scared by the grandfather called Tian that day." ”

Liu Yi echoed: "Me too, but now that I think about it, it's not scary, but I think it's very strange." ”

Mu Qiu naturally knew what Liu Yi was wondering about, but at this time, it was definitely not good to say it.

That night, Lu Yi also took photos of everyone with her camera, saying that she wanted to keep a souvenir.

When it was time to go to bed, this time, Mu Qiu did not sleep with Liu Yi and them again, but went to Uncle Mu's room, Liu Yi pondered that they were leaving, they must have a lot to say.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi was woken up by the sound of the collision in the hall, yawned, got up, put on his clothes and came to the hall.

I saw Mu Boniang cooking inside, but I didn't expect Liu Yi to get up so early, and greeted her with a smile: "The girl got up so early?" ”

Liu Yi nodded. "It's still not as early as my aunt, it's really hard for you to get up so early to cook for us, come, I'll see if there's anything I can do to help."

Mu Boniang raised her feet and walked to the kitchen next to her.

"There's nothing to help, if the girl doesn't dislike it, you can help me make a fire."

Liu Yi felt that everything on this mountain was good, but it was inconvenient to take a bath, and it was summer, and she hadn't taken a bath for three days, Liu Yi felt that the whole person was greasy, and there was a smell on her body.

Sitting in front of the stove, Liu Yi made a fire with his hands and feet.

Mu Boniang smiled: "It seems that the girl is a housekeeper, who marries you, it is really a blessing." ”

Liu Yi hurriedly retorted: "Auntie, what you said is not right, who doesn't know how to do housework these days?" We have all lived hard lives. ”

"First bitter and then sweet, don't be afraid, young people will have to suffer bitterly."

Liu Yi smiled. "That's right."

"You're up so early." Lu Yi yawned and stood at the door looking at the two.

"Yo, you woke up earlier than I did today."

Mu Qiu walked out with a smile.

"What's that, Xiaoyanagi, you burn the fire first, and I'll take your place when I'm done washing."

Liu Yi nodded. "Okay, you can go quickly."

When it was time to eat, everyone was quite reluctant.

Dongdong was red-eyed and didn't dare to look up.

Uncle Mu was also embarrassed.

"I'll send you down when we come down the mountain later."

Mu Qiu waved his hand. "No need, it's a waste of time to go down the mountain and up the mountain, you still go up the mountain with your aunt to work after eating, it's best to take care of everything at home during this time, and then you remember to hand me a letter before you come, and my dad and I will pick you up when the time comes."

Uncle Mu frowned.

"What's wrong with sending you guys? Could it be that you still dislike me? ”

"Anyway, don't go, we don't know the way? What's more, it's not as tiring as when you go up the mountain. ”

Uncle Mu wanted to say something more, but Uncle Mu next to him sighed.

"If you don't send it, you won't send it, no matter what happens later, I have to send you to the entrance of the village, right?"

Mu Qiu smiled. "That's fine."

A meal, several people eat is not a good taste.

Before leaving, Dongdong stood at the door, looking like he wanted to cry but didn't cry.

Liu Yi frowned, to be honest, in fact, the most reluctant thing is this sensible and distressing child.

Reaching out and touching Dongdong's head, Liu Yi said with a smile: "Anyway, you will follow your parents down the mountain at that time, remember to come to me when you go to your brother Mu's house to play, and I will take you around to play." I also have a niece at home who is about your age and can be friends with you. ”

Dongdong nodded timidly.

"I see, thank you, sister."

Liu Yi touched Dongdong's face with a smile and turned to leave.

Lu Yi also touched the little guy's head with a reluctant face.

"I'll take you to play when the time comes, you come to me, remember."

Dongdong nodded, tears streaming down his face.

Mu Qiu stretched out his hand and wiped Dongdong's tears. "A man can't cry, we can meet again in a while, if only you could bring your cousins with you."

Dongdong raised his little face. "They said they wouldn't go down."

Of course Mu Qiu knew, but he just hoped that when Dongdong chatted with those little cousins, he would be tempted and seduced a lot, maybe those uncles would agree for the sake of the child.

After all, on this high mountain, it is really possible to be poor for a lifetime.

The group walked out of the village one foot deep and one foot shallow, and along the way, the barking of dogs in every house was terrifying.

When passing by the big lock house of Grandpa Tian's house, Liu Yi looked at it with a heartbeat.

Thinking of the unkempt girl, Liu Yi clenched her fists, not knowing whether she should do what she said.

"Alright, we'll get you here, remember to be careful on the road."

Before Mu Qiu left, he still greeted Uncle Mu in his heart: "Uncle, if you have time, help me persuade them, the times are developing, if you don't go out, then you can only be so poor in this life, and only by leaving the mountains can you have unlimited possibilities." ”

Uncle Mu nodded. "I know that you are also for our good, and I will persuade them well when the time comes, if they still refuse to leave, I have no choice."

Mu Qiu was very satisfied.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

With that, the few people said goodbye, and then set out on the way home.

Liu Yi turned around in three steps, looking at the three people at the entrance of the village who looked like ancestors and grandchildren, but were a family of three.

"Brother Mu, uncle and aunt, are they old men?"

Mu Qiu shook his head, thinking in his heart, just in time to go down the mountain, he had to give instructions to everything.

"No, you may not know, just because this village is very poor, so many daughters-in-law and children are bought, because children are easier to deceive, so it is cheaper, and now those who buy daughters-in-law are a little saved, my uncle and aunt They had no money at the beginning, and they have never had children, so they bought a son."

Lu Yi was very arrogant, he hadn't noticed anything wrong all the time, and now when he heard Mu Qiu's own confession, he was so frightened that he exclaimed.

"Human trafficking? It's a crime! ”

Liu Yi thought for a while, and then asked, "Did the daughter-in-law of Grandpa Tian's family also buy it?" ”

Mu Qiu nodded.

"But Dongdong, my uncle saved his life, because when that guy was brought by traffickers, he was skinny and skinny, as if he was in very bad health, and they didn't sell it for several times, and finally my uncle saw that he was pitiful, so he bought it, and in the past few years, his health has improved more than a little bit."

Lu Yi next to him hurriedly asked, "Then Dongdong doesn't know that he was sold?" ”
