In fact, you can't see the road very far in the mountains. Looking around, there are towering trees everywhere, which greatly blocks the view.

So after running for a while, Shen Xingmian was surprised when he suddenly saw the village.

Ah, she finally ran out of the mountains!

Looking at the sparse low houses in the distance, Shen Xingmian felt a little excited. She didn't dislike backwardness and poverty at all, as long as she could see a living person, that would be fine!

She was really fed up with the days when she could only talk to animals every day and get no response.

As a result, she was so depressed that she started to miss home just a few days after leaving home.

It was obvious that she had been eager to go out before.

After stopping to rest for a while, Xue Tuan and I had a hearty lunch before running wildly towards the village in the distance.

After they left for a long time, the mountains came to life again, and small animals popped up from everywhere. Only after they were sure that the tiger was gone did they dare to sneak around and find some food.

It's so hard.

When Shen Xingmian rode the tiger to the bottom of the mountain, he felt that this would definitely scare people, so he changed his horse and came out.

Before Xue Tuan had time to express his dissatisfaction, she was sent back to the space. After placing a bowl of meat, he immediately forgot his dissatisfaction and started eating happily.

Animals are easy to coax, and there's nothing a meal of meat can't solve.

The same cannot be said for people.

If someone becomes jealous, it may not be easy to coax someone without real money.

After the weather warms up, the children in the village begin to go out for activities. After holding back all winter, they are eager to run out to play with their friends all day long.

"Huh? There are horses. Horses are coming down the mountain!" A little girl pointed in the direction of the mountain and shouted excitedly.

"Erya, are you confused by your sleep? How could a horse come down from the mountain? Even the horse comes from the entrance of the village. Do you know what a horse is?"

A little boy sniffed and joked.

There was a burst of laughter all around, and some children echoed: "That's right, Erya, you haven't even seen a donkey, and you still have a horse!"

The little girl was so anxious that she almost cried. She pointed in the direction of Shen Xingmian and pursed her lips and said, "See for yourselves. That's a horse, exactly like what daddy said."

The children didn't believe it at first, but after hearing what she said was true, they all looked up to see it.

They have never been out of the village very much. The farthest they have been is to a market town. They have never seen what a horse looks like.

But after just one glance, they all stood up and clapped their hands excitedly: "It's a horse, it's really a horse!"

After Shen Xingmian ran down the mountain, he saw a bunch of children in the distance. Seeing that they also saw him and cheered, he felt a little embarrassed.

Am I that popular? Even the children in a strange village were so excited and happy to see me? Ah, this is so embarrassing, hehe...

As she got closer, she realized that the people were not looking at her at all, but at the bay-red horse beneath her.

The children jumped up and ran a few steps towards her, but did not dare to get too close, their little faces flushed with excitement.

Winter has just passed, and the skin on these children's faces is very poor, and some places are even chapped, which makes them a little painful to look at.

They seemed to be used to it and didn't care too much, focusing on the horses.

Shen Xingmian had stopped and allowed them to come over curiously.

Since she came here, she has never seen so many children. They are much smaller than Xiao Yanyue. She can pick up two in one hand.

There were several houses nearby. After hearing the children's shouts just now, some adults came out of their houses curiously to watch the fun.

When I saw that there was actually a horse, I was filled with envy.

When they saw that the person riding the horse was actually a little girl, everyone's attitude was no longer consistent. Some people were still envious, while others were full of sourness.

Shen Xingmian let them suffer. He didn't come here to settle down, and he still had to care about neighborhood relations.

She was just passing by, she hadn't seen a living person in a long time, and she just came to feel the popularity.

Even if they did get angry, she would just feel that being able to hear people talking was still much better than being in the mountains with no one to communicate with.

It might seem a bit mean to say this, but she was really stifled these past few days and desperately wanted to find someone to chat with.

Even if she just listened to the children's cheers, she didn't mind the noise and was willing to let them watch for a while.

As long as the horse doesn't mind, petting is fine.

Some of these children are honest, while others come up with bad ideas in a blink of an eye.

An older child reached up and touched the little red horse first. Seeing that it didn't kick, he became bolder and began to pat it hard.

Shen Xingmian didn't mind at first. As a kid with little strength, he was afraid that his own hand would be damaged if he patted it that way, and the horse wouldn't feel much pain.

A little girl with still red eyes timidly advised: "Stop photographing the tiger. The horse is so good, let us touch it, how can you photograph it?"

"I want you to mind your own business. I'll tell your grandma soon and sell you to the town to be a maid. Let's see if you still dare to talk about me."

Shen Xingmian:......

Isn’t it said that the folk customs in the village are generally very simple?

Is this something a simple person can say?

Such an older child knows how to engage in human trafficking, and the adults have taught him well through words and deeds.

Shen Xingmian couldn't help but feel a little angry, got off his horse, and led him towards the entrance of the village.

I originally thought that since these people were living off the land, they might have some dry goods such as mushrooms and fungus at home, so she would collect them, a little higher than the market price, so that their lives would be easier.

Now she doesn't think so anymore. It's possible that the people have simple and honest customs, but it's even more likely that there are unruly people in the poor mountains and rivers.

A child at such a young age can say something like this. What are adults teaching them every day? If he is allowed to grow up like this, won't he grow into a bully and bring disaster to others?

There were probably tens of thousands of such villages in Linyue, and even if she wanted to, she wouldn't be able to manage them.

It is too weak and powerless to solve the injustices in the world by relying on one's own power alone. Unless the people's livelihood problems are fundamentally solved, some people will be able to stop the idea of ​​selling their daughters.

Yes, it was the idea of ​​selling my daughter.

It is estimated that no one will be willing to sell their son until the moment of life and death. Only their daughter, whom they call a girl, will consider selling it for money whenever they are in trouble.

Even though it's not that difficult, I still want to sell my daughter to get some money to buy meat.

This has been true since ancient times.

No matter what the world is, it will be more difficult for women, especially in ancient times, there were more constraints on women.

And most people are already used to this, and they don't even realize the unfairness of it.

Even when someone brings it up, they still feel puzzled. Isn’t it just a girl’s film? If it’s sold, it’s sold. What’s there to feel bad about?
