The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Lu Yanyan asked if there was any medicine left in the village.

Dalin took out a few bottles from his arms and handed them over.

"It's the same as the one on the one-eyed dragon. It's quite effective."

"Get some clean water and put it outside the cave."

Lu Yanyan took the medicine and returned to the cave.

Lan Niang had calmed down by this time. When she saw the medicine in Lu Yanyan's hand, she said she would get some clean cloth.

After the clean water and towels were ready, Lu Yanyan and Qin Yuru carefully treated the women's wounds and applied medicine.

"A group of us are fleeing from another prefecture and passing through here. There were sixty-seven bandits who intercepted us today. Two of them stayed on the mountain, and now they are all dead. Lan Niang, besides you, are there any other people in the mountain stronghold?"

Lu Yanyan was worried that some fish would slip through the net.

Lan Niang calculated and shook her head.

"No more. Three years ago, more than half of these beasts died. Those who escaped and those who stayed in the village, there are seventy-eight people left. Three died last year, and six died half a month ago. Today, these beasts are finally wiped out. God has mercy on us."

Lu Yanyan felt relieved: "That's good. What are you going to do next?"

Lan Niang was silent.

A woman in her twenties whispered, "What future do people like us have? Returning to the family is nothing but a white silk ribbon. Maybe we won't even get one, and won't even be able to enter the family. They'll think we've brought shame to the family."

"It's not your fault..."

Qin Yuru gritted her teeth in anger, but she was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"The world doesn't care about right or wrong. In their eyes, the biggest mistake we make is having the nerve to live after losing our virginity."

Qin Yuru choked up, she knew that what the woman said was true.

Lu Yanyan also knew that what she said was true, but because of this, she wanted to curse even more.

"What the hell is chastity? It's nothing more than a shackle imposed on women by moralists.

In order to better control and enslave women, they impose this unreasonable standard on women.

Why is chastity only for women? Why can men have three wives and four concubines, but women must be faithful to one man? Why should women, as victims of assault, have to endure the world's criticism?

Qin Yuru almost wanted to cover Lu Yanyan's mouth after hearing this.

She had never known that her sister-in-law could actually swear and say such unacceptable words.

Although she thought it made sense, her brother-in-law was still out there.

Qin Yuru kept winking at Lu Yanyan, but Lu Yanyan was only focused on cleaning the wound of the woman in front of him and didn't notice Qin Yuru's eyes at all.

"I once read a book about an old man who advocated preserving the principles of Heaven and eliminating human desires, and his followers even demanded that women maintain their virginity, wifely chastity, and fidelity to their husbands.

But what about themselves? Some visit brothels, some have affairs with nuns, and some even have affairs with their own daughters-in-law.

These men are lenient with themselves but strict with others. What qualifications do they have to demand that women must remain chaste?

Men who are passionate are considered romantic, while women who are passionate are considered promiscuous. This is a double standard. Because men hold the power of discourse, they can exploit women at will and set different standards for them.

But why should we obey and follow such unfair standards?

We can be neither sentimental nor indulgent, but if we are victims who are being humiliated and bullied, no one has the right to point fingers at us.

The victim is not guilty; the guilty ones are the perpetrators and those who take advantage of the victim's misfortune.

......"

Inside the cave, Lu Yanyan was still talking non-stop.

Outside the cave, Lu Fugui and Lu Changping were sweating profusely.

Lu Fugui wanted to rush into the cave and cover Lu Yanyan's mouth.

Ever since Lu Yanyan said "What the hell is chastity", the two of them have been stealing glances at Han Qingyun's face from time to time.

The more Lu Yanyan spoke, the more excited she became, and the expressions of her brother and nephew became more and more interesting.

Lian Dalin and Lu Liang felt embarrassed and wanted to pull Han Qingyun away.

But Han Qingyun did not move, and there was no change on his face.

"You can't live if you lose your virginity? Your family will force you to die? That only means your family cares more about their reputation than you. It's better not to have such a family."

Lu Yanyan observed the expressions of everyone in the cave and continued.

“People live for themselves, not for others.

There are more than 400 taels of silver in this mountain stronghold, as well as some jewelry and food, enough for you to live for several years.

Although it is not as good as the luxurious life you had before you were arrested, it is still better than those ordinary people outside who work day and night for a few taels of silver every year.

After a while, go to a place where no one knows you and start over.

You are all women who have been carefully brought up in your families. You can read, do accounting, and embroider. Maybe in the future you will live an even more comfortable life than before.

......"

Lu Yanyan was still chattering in the cave.

Lu Fugui looked at his brother-in-law nervously again, and when he saw that his brother-in-law looked gentle, he felt a little relieved.

He didn't think that what his sister said was wrong, but his brother-in-law was an educated man, so who knew if his brain had been poisoned?

It would be bad if I developed a grudge against my sister because of these words.

"Yan Yan is really spoiled, she dares to say anything. But she is just trying to persuade others, she definitely doesn't think so herself. You have always known how she feels about her brother-in-law."

Han Qingyun listened to the whispers of the women in the cave and knew that they would not seek death again, so he smiled slightly.

"Yanyan said it very well."

Lu Fugui was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that Han Qingyun was speaking sincerely, he felt relieved.

He really likes his brother-in-law more and more.

When Lu Yanyan and Qin Yuru walked out of the cave, the women followed them out.

Originally, the two wanted to ask the man outside to step aside, but Lan Niang said that they must personally thank the young man.

When Lu Changping came here for the first time, he saw through the telescope that a bandit was about to enter the cave. A woman seemed to want to stop him, but was thrown out by the bandit.

That woman was Lan Niang.

Lu Changping flew over and killed the bandits, but he also saw those naked women.

He could only run out of the cave and tell them that the thief had been caught and someone would come to rescue them soon.

When they saw Han Qingyun and the others, the women shrank a little, but still bowed and saluted.

After thanking Lu Changping, Lan Niang told Lu Yanyan that they would stay in the mountains to recuperate for a while.

The bodies of those women were so badly damaged that it would take them at least a month or two to recover.

"Will there be any danger?"

"The evildoers are all dead. No outsiders have been here except those who were captured."

Lu Yanyan thought about the way he came. This place is indeed quite hidden. Without a topographic map, ordinary people would not be able to find it.

"What happens next?"

"Then we'll discuss how to make a living. If there's really no other way, the worst that can happen is that we become nuns in a nunnery. Don't worry, ladies. We've gotten through the most difficult times, and we'll never take life and death lightly again."

Lu Yanyan looked at Lan Niang and Zhenzhen with resolute expressions, and then looked at the women behind them who were still confused but a little more angry. He handed the more than four hundred taels of silver and banknotes handed over by Lu Liang to Lan Niang.

Lan Niang didn't want to accept it at first, but when she thought of the people behind her, she accepted it.

"Lan Niang should know where the food and clothes are. Take care of yourselves. We are leaving now."

"Take care of yourself."

Han Qingyun and his group of seven only took away Wang Gui's small bag containing their household registration.

The rest of the things were left to Lan Niang and the others.

When they walked more than a hundred meters, they could still hear the woman behind them yelling "See you later"...

Everyone has to say goodbye when traveling between heaven and earth.

There will be a period later!
