After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

Ai Yun asked in confusion: "Xiaoyao, why did you choose me?" Xiaoyao smiled and said frankly: "I did have some selfish motives in choosing you. First, our ideas are exactly the same, and we are both dissatisfied with the situation of women in this world. And just now I am even more fortunate to have chosen you, because we come from the same place and have seen a better world. Second, this place happens to need a doctor, and you happen to be the right person."

Mr. Xiaoyao paused, then said slowly: "They really need you, are you willing to join us?"

Ai Yun was actually unwilling to do this, because she knew very well that no matter how well Xiaoyao hid this place, it could not be completely guaranteed that it would not be discovered by the outside world. Not to mention some ferocious and dangerous beasts, for people like her, she had a special drug in her pocket that could be used as a colorless and odorless mark. She only needed to bring a trained dog to find this place effortlessly.

If this secret place is really known to the outside world, it will undoubtedly bring disaster to the women living here! Not only will they encounter unimaginable hardships and tribulations, but even their lives may not be safe. However, in comparison, this is not the most terrifying thing. Ai Yun can't help but recall the "Jingkang Shame" she learned in the past - that period of history is full of human distortion and darkness, which is really chilling.

Thinking of this, Ai Yun's heart became heavier and heavier, as if a heavy burden was weighing on her heart and she could hardly breathe. She knew very well that if this place was exposed to the world, these women would become fish on the chopping board of others, and what awaited them would be endless pain, torture and a tragic fate...

Mr. Xiaoyao knew very well that it would not be easy to change Ai Yun's mind. She shook her head helplessly, then pointed to the woman that Ai Yun had been staring at, and said softly: "Her name is Erya, but now everyone calls her Shangguan Jiao. In fact, she has a very rough life. Her parents are deeply influenced by traditional concepts, and they value boys very much and despise girls. Since the little girl was born, they have been extremely indifferent to her. Not only have they never given her a trace of love, they have even been too lazy to give her a proper name, and just called her 'Erya' casually."

She has shouldered the heavy burden of the family since she was a child. She has to get up at dawn every day and start a busy and tedious day of housework - carefully preparing a hearty breakfast for the whole family; then she will immediately devote herself to daily chores such as washing clothes and cleaning.

Day after day, year after year, she worked hard without complaint, but never received even a little care or reward from her family. Everything she did seemed to be taken for granted, and what awaited her was endless orders and scolding. What made her even more heartbroken was that her parents turned a blind eye to her efforts and dedication, and were reluctant to give her even a word of praise.

In contrast, her brother, who was a man, could sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, enjoying the best resources of the family. However, he chose to turn a blind eye to the hard work his sister put in! He even often blamed his sister for all the mistakes he made, and cursed her without scruples, causing the poor girl to suffer humiliation and torture.

In such a family environment, she seemed to have become an outsider who was dispensable and forgotten by everyone. Faced with all kinds of injustice and suffering in life, she could only choose to endure silently and bury all the bitterness deep in her heart.

On countless silent nights, she prayed silently, hoping for a turn for the better.

However, fate mercilessly dealt her a fatal blow. Her brother fell in love with the daughter of the village chief at first sight. As they could not afford the bride price, the family made a cruel decision after some conspiracy - to let her marry the notorious idiot son of the village chief. The idiot was well-known in the surrounding area. His ex-wife died tragically in the wedding room on the wedding day, and was tortured to death. As for what cruel means were used, you can't imagine it at all.

Although everyone tried to conceal it, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world? One cold winter day, when she was struggling to wash clothes in the freezing cold river, she suddenly felt a sharp pain during her menstrual period, forcing her to stop her work and go home for a rest. Unexpectedly, before she even stepped into the house, she heard a conversation from inside the house - it turned out that her parents were discussing marriage with someone sent by the village chief's family! In an instant, a chill surged from the bottom of her heart and quickly spread throughout her body, making her feel cold all over as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Thinking about her selfless efforts over the years, she really couldn't bear the cruel reality that her family wanted to kill her. She calmed down and fled without hesitation. Unfortunately, fate played tricks on her. Not long after she escaped, she was caught by her family and tied up in a pigsty. If the village chief's family didn't just want to marry an intact bride, she would have been beaten and her legs would have been cruelly broken.

Finally, thanks to her desperate pleading with a kind woman in the same village who helped to pass the message to me, I was able to rescue her by ransom.

Ai Yun bit her lip. She knew that as a doctor, these women needed her, and she was willing to devote her strength to them. However, she knew that she should not help them by joining them.

There should be a better way that can not only heal their physical pain and soothe their emotional trauma, but also provide them with some practical protection.

Seeing Ai Yun lost in thought, Mr. Xiaoyao pointed again to an elderly woman not far from them. Ai Yun looked in the direction of his finger and her eyes fell on the woman in plain linen clothes who was concentrating on taking care of a peony.

By observing the details of her movements, Ai Yun noticed that the woman had an obvious limp in one leg. Mr. Xiaoyao sighed softly and said, "Her husband has been abusing her for a long time. You should be able to see that her lame leg is caused by that hateful man. She could no longer endure such torture and once wanted to commit suicide by jumping into a well, but fate made her meet me. At that time, she was determined to fight to the death and felt that it was no big deal to die, so she was fearless. Fortunately, she finally managed to escape from the clutches of that man during one of his domestic violence.

When she came here with injuries all over her body, my heart ached. This kind woman would rather commit suicide than hurt others when she was most desperate. And I, even though her husband's family was looking for someone, wanted to help her find a doctor to treat her injuries, but I couldn't do it. No one here knew medical skills. In the end, she could only rely on her strong willpower, grit her teeth and endure the pain, waiting for her body to recover on its own.

Whenever I think of this, I feel deeply guilty and powerless, but she always smiles and comforts me, saying that it’s okay, and that she endured the torment every time after being beaten.

Now, every day in the future is a brand new beginning for her, and it is a wonderful time that she has fought hard for."

Mr. Xiaoyao's voice was filled with deep sighs and unspeakable helplessness, while Ai Yun listened silently, "How could there be an airtight wall in the world? This place will eventually be discovered by others."

Ai Yun's mind kept flashing through all the possible scenarios she had just thought of, and her mood became heavier. She continued, "Have you ever thought about what kind of difficult and hardship you would face if you were unfortunately discovered by a group of brutal bandits, or if those who discovered this place had ulterior motives and evil intentions? Haven't you heard of the Jingkang Shame? Do you remember how those greedy and brutal plunderers showed the world the twisted and dark side of human nature?"

However, facing Ai Yun's worried questioning, Mr. Xiaoyao did not show any surprise or anxiety, but seemed unusually calm and composed. He replied calmly: "In fact, we have foreseen these situations." It seemed that everything was under his control.
