The 1960s: The Story of a Country Girl's Journey to the City

The two human traffickers didn't expect the girl to have such a loud voice. With so many people around, it would be difficult for them to squeeze out.

The man gave the woman a wink, and the woman immediately rushed over and hugged them both, crying and sobbing, repeatedly telling the people who gathered around her her grievances:

"Brothers and sisters, don't listen to her nonsense. These two are my daughters. I said a few words to them, and the older sister ran away with her younger sister. Now they've gone astray and don't even recognize their parents anymore..."

Before she could speak, Gu Panyue trembled with fear, tears streaming down her face, and shouted at the crowd:

"I don't know them! They're scammers!"

"You silly child, how can you talk nonsense? We've told you two girls that you can't always run around with those immature boys and go on those 'organizations' with them. When we don't let you go, you always say we're not your real parents. We're just doing this for your own good."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears again, but her other hand gripped Gu Panyue tightly.

Hearing that the two sisters were going to make connections, the people around them believed it to some extent and started talking all at once.

The movement was in full swing, and these teenagers were running around everywhere. They knew this, and some of them, even those whose families didn't allow them to go, secretly ran away behind their parents' backs.

Seeing that everyone had changed the subject, Bao Ya wasn't too worried. She just silently reached into her bag with her right hand and touched the half brick.

She kept her eyes on the two men, planning to strike them when they weren't looking.

As long as people are not easily taken away by them, there are ways to save themselves.

After hearing the woman's explanation, most passersby shrank back. Some sighed, some frowned, but no one dared to step forward to stop her; who wanted to meddle in someone else's "domestic affairs"?

Seeing that everyone had believed the woman's lies, Gu Panyue was a little at a loss and hurriedly explained:

"No, it's not like that. We don't know them at all. Why don't you go to the Armed Forces Department and ask? Brother Qi is still there. We came with him."

Upon hearing this, Bao Ya closed her eyes. What kind of brain does she have? She really wanted to crack it open and see if her brain was even the size of a walnut. Shouldn't she report it to the police if she encounters human traffickers? What good is mentioning your Brother Qi?

A middle-aged woman carrying a shopping basket next to her frowned and spoke up, her tone full of advice:

"Oh dear, daughter, your parents went through so much trouble to find you. Don't be stubborn, come home with us."

"That's right, young girls like you, always hanging out with a bunch of hooligans, so shameless. Your parents are really unlucky to have raised two such shameless girls."

A middle-aged woman with slanted eyes was eyeing the two of them sideways, and her words were even more cutting than those of a human trafficker.

"Alright, stop arguing. We don't know these two people at all. Could someone please report this to the police? If the police confirm they aren't human traffickers, we'll go with them. If they are…"

Bao Ya looked at the two with a half-smile. If they were human traffickers, she should try to do something good today and maybe even earn a bonus.

"You dare to lie again!"

The man raised his hand as if to hit him, then stopped mid-air, feigning disappointment.

"Last time we ran away, we tricked passersby into thinking we were human traffickers, causing people to point fingers at us! Even if it ends up at the police station today, it's our family's business!"

"What a jinx! She got her parents arrested and landed in the police station. She's a born slut, a vixen who can't live without a man."

Before Bao Ya could speak, the man with the slanted eyes started babbling on and on, as if the two of them had dug up his ancestral graves.

"You were born from shit, your mouth and asshole are reversed."

After scolding her, Bao Ya turned to everyone and shouted loudly:

"These two are human traffickers; we don't know them. Are you going to call the police or not?"

The crowd exchanged glances, and seeing her resolute tone, some began to hesitate. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have the police come and take a look, to avoid any misunderstandings.

Seeing everyone hesitate, the woman immediately spoke up, wiping away her tears:

"You child, what you're saying is getting more and more outrageous. You're at the age where you should be getting married, and you're going to the police station every day. It's going to be a sight to behold."

"This child is stubborn, folks. Last time we tried to reason with her, she just turned around and disappeared. Don't listen to her nonsense. She's in and out of the police station every day. What about her reputation?"

"What reputation does this vixen have left..."

"Shut the fuck up!"

"Snapped!"

"Aww~"

Bao Ya swung the brick in her hand and smashed it on the head of the woman who was swearing. The woman let out a cry and swayed, almost falling over.

I think I read somewhere that if you don't want to be taken away by human traffickers and no one is helping you, you can damage other people's property first to make them call the police.

She thought that cracking someone's skull open would have the same effect, and she didn't believe that no one would have gone to the police station to report it to the police by now.

As she expected, several people had already run towards the police station.

"Ugh, you!"

The two human traffickers were caught off guard by the girl's ruthlessness; she actually dared to beat someone in the street and draw blood. They panicked immediately.

Everything happened so fast. The man was still holding onto Bao Ya's arm, trying to pull her back and drag her away in the chaos.

At the same time, he gestured to the woman with his eyes and dragged Gu Panyue away.

But Bao Ya didn't stop holding the brick. She turned around with his force, put all her strength into it, and slammed the brick hard on his head.

*Smack!*

This sound was much crisper than the last, and blood splattered instantly. Everyone was stunned, wondering who the real villain was.

The man instinctively covered his head and released the hand that was holding Bao Ya.

"Ah, help me!!"

Looking back, the woman tried to drag Gu Panyue away in the chaos. Gu Panyue screamed in fright and sat on the ground, trying to fall down, but she was too weak and had already been dragged several meters away.

The man was hit with a brick, let out a muffled groan, covered his head with both hands for a couple of seconds, and surprisingly did not fall down.

Seeing the blood on his hands, he was already furious and clenched his fist to smash it at Bao Ya.

Bao Ya sidestepped behind the woman with the slanted eyes who had been the first to have her head split open, turned a corner, and ran towards Gu Panyue.

The man punched the mean-spirited woman in the chin, sending her staggering back several steps before she fell to the ground.

The scene was chaotic, and Bao Ya couldn't reach Gu Panyue, so she could only raise her hand and throw the brick at the woman trafficker's head.

"Snapped!"

The brick struck the woman trafficker squarely on the back of the head. Her eyes rolled back, and she slumped to the ground. Tsk, I hope she's not dead.

Bao Ya looked at the terrified Gu Panyue and hoped that her teacher father had a conscience and could protect her.

Seeing things were going badly, the man turned to run. Bao Ya quickly pointed to the blood-covered man with the droopy eyes on the ground and shouted to everyone:

"Stop him! He's killed that woman!"

The scene was chaotic, but since there was blood on the ground, they couldn't let them go. Several men pinned the man down.

"You, you actually hit someone..."

The man with the slanted eyes, who hadn't completely passed out while lying on the ground, pointed at Bao Ya and said, swaying unsteadily.

She was stunned by the slap and couldn't quite figure out who hit her; her face was covered in blood, making her look terrifying.

Bao Ya kicked her in the butt and spat at her.

"That's exactly what I'm going to do, you idiot!"
