"Break the lock!"

She was too lazy to ask someone to find Niu Caogen to get the key, so she directly ordered Cao Dutou to break down the door.

Cao Dutou was already very strong and had just been fuming, so he smashed it open in just two moves.

Song Jinshu calmed down and walked inside. When she saw everything in the house clearly, she was stunned!

Inside the room, there was only a simple, rotten wooden plank as a bed, a tattered, dirty, and smelly quilt, and...

Song Jinshu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, including the group of men following behind him.

In the pile of garbage, there lay a tied-up woman with dirty hair and no clothes on.

Song Jinshu immediately stepped forward to block the yamen runners' sight. Cao Dutou also knew his limits and turned around to guard the door, not letting anyone in.

At the same time, his hatred for Niu Caogen grew even stronger!

That bastard is such a fucking bastard!

After thinking about it, Cao Dutou was still angry. He strictly forbade anyone to go in and disturb the adults, and went out to pull the cow grass roots into the yard.

A kick without leaving any trace, causing the person to cry bitterly,

Inside the room, Song Jinshu stepped forward cautiously, then with trembling hands, probed under her nostrils.

Only after confirming that the woman was still breathing did I feel relieved.

"Girl? Little girl, wake up?"

She carefully avoided the wounds on the woman's body and gently pushed her.

After a long while, the woman finally opened her eyes with difficulty, staring at Song Jinshu dazedly, and muttered, "Am I dead? Are you the fairy sister who came to pick me up?"

Song Jinshu was stunned and reached out to touch her forehead: "You're not dead! You have a fever! I'm here to get you out!"

The woman froze, her expression numb and indifferent: "Save me? No one can save me!"

After she finished speaking, she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep again. Song Jinshu hurriedly patted her face and pointed at the official robe on her body.

"I'm serious! Miss, take a closer look. I'm the magistrate of Jingyang County. I'm bound to intervene in this matter today!"

"If you trust me, don't sleep! I'll untie you first!"

As she spoke, she took the scissors next to her. The woman in front of her trembled, and when she saw that Song Jinshu did not hurt her, but cut the rope for her.

"Thank you!"

When Song Jinshu heard the woman's soft thanks, she felt both bitter and sad. She didn't know how long she had been here.

It is also unknown what kind of inhuman abuse she suffered during this period.

But as a woman herself, she felt fear, helplessness and pain for her.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

Later, she patiently comforted the woman for a long time before slowly gaining her trust and learning her name.

Recruiting a younger brother...

From ancient times to the present, this name has been given to daughters in many patriarchal families.

"That's not a good name! Can I give you a new one? Okay?"

The woman paused and nodded slightly.

Song Jinshu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Ranchu! Ran means vitality, and Chu represents new life!"

"What do you think of Ranchu?"

The woman murmured to herself, "Ranchu...Okay! From now on, there will no longer be Zhaodi in the world, only Ranchu!"

Ran Chu likes this name very much, and also likes Song Jinshu, who smiles gently and treats her kindly.

Song Jinshu also laughed. She was afraid that Ran Chu would not have the motivation to live.

Now it seems that Ran Chu is stronger and braver than she thought!

Perhaps because she knew Song Jinshu was a good person, Ran Chu started talking.

He talked about his own experiences and what he heard about Wujian Village.

"I was bought from another place by Niu Caogen. I've been here for half a year. At first, Niu Caogen was nice to me, but gradually, he started beating and scolding me...

Until two months ago, when the neighbor's pawned wife got pregnant, he started to get even more violent towards me, tying me up and torturing me day and night..."

As if thinking of the dark past, Ran Chu's eyes were filled with fear, but more of it was hatred towards Niu Caogen.

Song Jinshu grasped the key words: "Pawning the wife?"

Ranchu nodded and explained, "Your Excellency should have heard that there is an imbalance in the number of men and women in Wujian Village. If a family marries a new wife, the men in the village can pawn her for free for a month as long as they pay a little money or help with farm work.

If you still want your wife to get pregnant and give birth, you must give her enough silver!"

She was also shocked when she first heard it, but fortunately, Niu Caogen was still interested in her at that time and did not agree to other people's requests to pawn his wife.

Later, he thought of the pleasure of beating her. She used to think that compared to being a pawned wife, she would rather be beaten to death by Niu Caogen.

Song Jinshu got goosebumps as he listened.

She thought that in an era where women could hold official positions, there should not be such a problem of women pawning their wives, where they had no human rights.

She didn't expect it to happen right under her nose!

Damn it! She must make a good plan to wipe out the entire village and save those innocent women.

"Do you know why only boys are born here and not girls?"

Song Jinshu already had a guess in his mind, but still wanted to hear it in person.

Ran Chu's face was full of pity, as if she remembered something. She didn't cry when she was beaten by Niu Caogen.

Now tears are streaming down my cheeks.

"My Lord! They...wuwuwu...they are not human at all. They have no humanity!"

"I saw a pawned wife give birth to a baby girl, and the newborn was thrown to death by a man from a certain family! Some even thought it was the pawned wife's fault and suspected the baby wasn't his!"

"What a bunch of bastards I am!"

The more Song Jinshu listened, the angrier he became, and he kept swearing.

She overestimated this group of people. Wujian Village was even more inhumane than she had imagined!

"Ranchu, I will keep this matter in mind. You pack up first and come down the mountain with us later. The matter of Wujian Village still needs to be considered in detail!"

This matter cannot be rushed. Although she brought a lot of people this time, compared to being on someone else's territory, the men she faced were all strong and sturdy. If she used force, her chances of winning would be slim.

Ran Chu nodded and took the opportunity to find a slightly cleaner and tidier old piece of clothing to change into.

Song Jinshu and Ran Chu discussed it and decided not to reveal that they already knew the secret of Wujian Village.

Instead, all attention was focused on Niu Caogen's illegal detention and abuse of women.

After going out, Song Jinshu had a long argument with Village Chief Niu, and then he packed up the cattle grass roots and took them away.

Lu Ruoyu and Shen Fenghua also came back, and Song Jinshu noticed that both of them looked very ugly.

It seems that he saw something bad.

She silently gave herself a shot of prevention in advance.

On the way back, Song Jinshu still didn't see any other women, only the villagers who were eyeing them covetously along the way.

More importantly, the group of men's gazes were fixed on Ranchu, as if they wanted to turn their gazes into blades and torture her to death...
