Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

In the corner of the barn, I saw a huddled "person" wrapped in a tattered quilt. If you looked from a distance, you would definitely not recognize that this was a person, it looked more like a black dog.

Dabao's eyes fell on an iron chain. It was a thick iron chain that stretched out from the torn cotton and was nailed to an iron ring two meters away.

Dabao squatted down and slowly lifted up the torn quilt. The 'person' inside the quilt screamed and curled up desperately, shivering into a ball.

I saw that this "person" had very long hair that covered his face, and his clothes were almost strips that could only cover the important parts of his body.

Dabao felt a foul odor coming towards him, which almost made him vomit.

He slowly touched the iron chain, which was covered with rust. It looked like it had been locked for quite some time.

Dabao stood up, rushed to the village chief in two steps, pointed at "it" and asked.

"What's going on? Tell me, what's going on?"

The village chief didn't dare look at Dabao and lowered his head: "I don't know..."

Dabao reached out and grabbed him by the collar, lifting him up and shouting, "I'm asking you one last time, what's going on?"

The village chief struggled: "Let me go, I don't know..."

Dabao clenched his fist and punched him in the face. The village chief screamed, blood gushed out of his nose and mouth, and three of his front teeth fell out. He begged for mercy loudly: "I say, I say, this is the daughter-in-law of the Meng family. Meng Ergou bought her four years ago. Yes, she is the daughter-in-law of his four sons.

This woman is disobedient and always wants to run away, so Meng Ergou and his wife tied her up with this iron chain..."

Dabao felt dizzy and took a step back. When he let go of the village chief, he fell to the ground.

Sun Qian and Daya ran over with pale faces. Seeing the scene before them, they simply couldn't believe their eyes.

Dabao's eyes swept over the villagers who were watching the excitement one by one, and saw the numb expressions of the villagers and their nonchalant looks. Except for Meng Fanmin who felt a little ashamed, everyone else looked indifferent.

Dabao's lips trembled, and he murmured: "She is a human being, how can you treat her like this? She is a human being, you..."

He looked at the people present and suddenly screamed heartbreakingly: "She is a human being! How could you treat her like this? Are you still human?"

The villagers were stunned and took two steps back at the same time. They thought the policeman had gone crazy...

Dabao suddenly turned around and rushed to the torn cotton wool, grabbed the iron chain that was as thick as his arm, and with a loud roar, he tore the chain into two pieces.

He rushed out of the courtyard again, opened the trunk of his motorcycle, reached in and took out a military coat, and ran back.

Dabao squatted down and gently covered her with his military coat. Then he stretched out his hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid. We are the police. We will take you home..."

She was so scared that she kept hiding, wishing she could curl herself up into a ball, trembling all over.

Dabao slowed down his speech and said, "Trust me, we are the people's police, we will protect you."

Perhaps it was his voice that gave her a great sense of security. She trembled and stretched out her right hand. This hand was covered with skin and bones, dark in color, with long nails.

Her fingers touched Dabao's fingers. Dabao's hands were warm and steady, without a trace of avoidance. She finally burst into tears.

"Why... did you come just now? Why did you come just now..." She threw herself into Dabao's arms and started crying hysterically.

Daya and Sun Qian also shed tears,

Dabao reached out and picked her up, and walked out of the yard step by step. He didn't even look at the people from Mengjiawan, because they were not worthy.

Dabao didn't believe that there were any villagers who didn't know about the woman's miserable plight. Judging from their indifferent attitude, they had known about it for a long time, but no one spoke up for it. This proved that human trafficking was a common practice in this village. In their eyes, the people they bought were not human beings, but animals. If animals were disobedient, wouldn't they be whipped and tied with chains?

Her crying gradually subsided. A pair of calm eyes appeared from her waist-length hair. She was looking at the faces of every person in Mengjiawan, as if she wanted to memorize everyone's appearance firmly.

Dabao put her in the sidecar of his motorcycle, asked Sun Qian and Daya to protect her, and returned to the yard.

He looked at every corpse, even using a stick to pry open the teeth of one of them. Dabao checked the fire scene and even looked carefully at the toilet.

Then he straightened up, walked up to the village chief and Meng Fanmin, and said coldly: "Do you believe in retribution? The behavior of you people in Mengjiawan is so unbearable that even God cannot stand it. I will report it to the commune, and no more relief grain will be distributed to your village in the future, because you don't deserve it!"

After saying that, he strode out.

The village chief and the accountant were stunned for a moment, then quickly took two steps and shouted, "Comrade Public Security, this is the fault of Meng Ergou's family, it has nothing to do with us. Please don't implicate us. There are more than 80 people in our village, young and old, who still rely on relief food to save their lives..."

Dabao sneered: "You don't deserve to eat food!" He was too lazy to say another word. He got on the motorcycle and let Daya sit behind him. Sun Qian could only sit on the trunk.

When Dabao started the motorcycle, he heard the village chief's scolding.

"Meng Fanmin, you idiot! I told you not to report the crime, but you didn't listen. Now look what you did, you've implicated the entire village. Fuck you! You've been a soldier, and you've become an idiot..."

Dabao sneered. Even now, the village chief still didn't understand where he went wrong. This village is hopeless.

Dabao suddenly remembered a famous saying of Voltaire: In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent...

He gently started the motorcycle and drove out of the village. Behind him, night fell little by little, completely shrouding the village in darkness...

． ． ． ．

Qin Dabao's face was gloomy all the way. There were such uncivilized places in the capital, let alone some remote areas?

He once again felt powerless. Even if fifty years had passed, there would still be many such tragic events. What could he do? After all, he was not a god...

The motorcycle took three hours to get back to the police station. As soon as they entered the police station, Dabao clearly heard her sigh of relief, and her hand that was tightly holding the sidecar also loosened.

Dabao had a bitter smile on his face, but I didn't know what he was laughing at.

After the motorcycle was parked, only Xie Ming, Ergou, and Qin Qinggui came out to greet them. Gou Fugui rented a house in the commune, and Liu Tiechui's home was also in the commune, so neither of them lived here.

Liu Xiangmei went to the commune to be on duty tonight so that she could call Han Qianyue if anything happened in the commune.

Han Qianyue also came out with her clothes on. The night was getting colder. Zuo Mingyue stood by the window holding Nuannuan, looking at Dabao.

Dabao and Daya got off the motorcycle, and Sun Qian slid down from the trunk and sat down on the ground. After more than three hours, his legs no longer felt like his own.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her. At first glance, she didn't look like a "human".

Dabao waved his hands tiredly: "Daya, you and Yuxiu, give her a bath, cut her hair, and find her some clothes. Ask Sister Guifang to make some porridge and some pickles for her. She hasn't had a full meal in the past few years, and her stomach must be weak. She must eat slowly and don't force herself to eat."

Daya agreed and went into the house to call Yuxiu, who had already fallen asleep with the two children.

Everyone started to get busy. Ergou and Qin Qinggui carried Sun Qian and walked slowly in the yard. Their legs were so numb that they could not move.

Dabao walked up the stairs, and Han Qianyue and Xie Ming came to greet him.

"Dabao, what's going on?"

Dabao waved his hand without saying a word. He took out a basin from the office, filled it with water, and plunged his face into the water. He didn't come out for two full minutes...
