Countdown to Awakening

Qi Rongfeng frowned after hearing this. He seemed to be deep in thought. Then he continued:

"There are very few now, but we can't say that there are none. Even if there are, what can we do? What can we do? Can we stop it? Are we going to pick up unwanted children and raise them? No one wants to go to such an unlucky place, but you insist on going there on purpose. Don't you want bad luck to get on you? Do you know that this is very unlucky?" Liang Xiaocui looked at her after she finished speaking.

How dare she go to a place like that?! It's such an unlucky place, even adults wouldn't dare go there. Even those who abandoned their children there were afraid of that place, so they didn't dare go there themselves. How dare a little girl like her go there?

Who gave her the courage? What would it be like if this got out? Those people already had a problem with her.

"..." Qi Yuanyuan said nothing more. The village was too feudal and superstitious.

Those girls died tragically, but luckily they didn't have to go through this from the moment they were born.

That place is called Anling Tower, but it is clearly a place where children are abandoned, and they are all girls.

It's not about throwing girls away at all. The essence of this behavior is just one's own prejudice and disdain for girls.

Those who don’t take good care of their daughters, if they don’t want them, why do they give birth to them? If they don’t like them, why do they give birth to them?

Is it just for that little bit of betrothal money? Or is it to earn money to help his brothers get married? And all of this, his parents took for granted.

Those people give their daughters food to eat but expect them to be open-hearted, and the opposite is true for their sons.

Yes, she can't change the current situation, but she has to change the thinking of those around her...

……

-

Teacher Qin went to a student's home to tutor her, but after returning from her trip, she felt very strange. Why did it feel like everyone was whispering about her wherever she went? As if they were saying something bad about her?

Is she just too sensitive? But her intuition is always right...

Take the past for example, wherever she went, people would greet her and call her Teacher Qin. Even if they were not adults, children would call her that.

But now... not to mention adults, even the children she sees on the street won't say hello to her, but look at her with strange eyes... some of them are children she teaches.

Qin Zixin thought about it and finally figured out the source:

Maybe it was because of that incident that everyone was avoiding her. And the villagers were very polite to Ma Hui.

Everyone was afraid of Ma Hui, and since she was not from the village and was a woman, those people subconsciously blamed her for the incident.

Suddenly, an older woman came in. She was mumbling something, and it was unclear what she was saying. Teacher Qin thought it was a parent with a student who was confused about something, so she hurried over.

"Parent, do you have anything to say?" she said to the parent with a smile.

Teacher Qin took a closer look and found that the parent was none other than the mother of student Li Mingming. She was nearly 30 years old but looked like an old woman in her 40s, like most women in the village... Just as Teacher Qin asked, the parent snorted rudely.

"Hey everyone, come and take a look. It's this Teacher Qin, this lowly bastard who only knows how to seduce men and even got Ma Hui sent to the police station. She's so cruel... No one knows what to say. She was the one who seduced the man first, but she sent Ma Hui to the police station. Tell me, everyone, how can this be justified? Does she think she can just send someone to the police station just because she's a teacher? Tsk tsk tsk... Where's the justice?"

After hearing these words, Teacher Qin was confused.

What did she mean? She seduced Ma Hui? Isn't that nonsense?

"No, Li Mingming's mother, you can't say that. How did I seduce Ma Hui? Explain clearly."

"Isn't it clear enough? Weren't you the one who seduced Ma Hui first last night? If you didn't seduce him, why would so many things happen? You don't want people to talk about it, right?" Li Mingming's mother snorted after she finished speaking.

Qin Zixin explained in a panic, "You... he was wrong about what happened last night. He was the one who barged into my room... Aren't you slandering me by saying this? This will affect my reputation."

Li Mingming's mother continued to sneer, "Humph! What did you do that you won't let anyone tell you? Is seducing men still right?! Don't think you can seduce men just because you're a teacher... There are all kinds of people these days."

The eldest sister's voice attracted the surrounding villagers.

As evening approached and the sky grew darker, the villagers who had been working in the rice paddies gradually returned. The surrounding villagers were also idle, with nothing to do. Even the women who were cooking came out, spatulas in hand, to watch the show.

Some were even whispering to each other.

The whole village had heard about this, but no one knew exactly what was going on. Now that someone was asking her about it, she'd definitely come out to watch the show. How could she not watch the show?

"Hmph! Affect your reputation? What's the importance of your bad reputation? What does it have to do with me? It's wrong for you to seduce men, how can you be right? I tell you, people like you are not worthy of teaching in the village! Fellow villagers, look at this woman's face clearly! Bah! She's still a teacher! Such a person is still teaching in the village, and will only continue to harm our children. She has an affair with Ma Hui, and Ma Hui came to her house to ask for her hand in marriage, but she still doesn't know what's good for her. She also has affairs with other people! Look, she dares to seduce Ma Hui now, and she may seduce your men in the future!" The eldest sister yelled in a hoarse voice.

The villagers were clearly skeptical, some pointing and talking.

Seeing the villagers' reaction, the eldest sister continued to exaggerate, "Everyone, have you heard about what happened last night? How could it be false? I'm telling you, this Teacher Qin is just that kind of person! Maybe, in the future, she'll continue to seduce other men and other people's sons! Everyone, be careful of this slutty woman!!"

After saying that, she grabbed the vegetables from the hand of an older sister next to her and threw them towards Teacher Qin.

"Hey, what are you doing? These are the vegetables I just picked..." The older sister was a little at a loss, and the next second she was protecting the vegetables in her basket.

"I told you not to seduce people everywhere, how shameless! Today I'm going to teach you a lesson! What are you all still standing there for? Let's kick this slutty woman out together! Don't let her stay in the village and harm our children!"

After she finished speaking, she gathered the others and threw vegetable leaves at Teacher Qin.

Teacher Qin wanted to speak, but the onslaught of leaves blocked her mouth, and she could only cover her head and face with her hands. She knew that even if she spoke, it would be useless.

So she chose to remain silent.
