What if you don't want to fall in love with the school bully?

Jiang Qixiao didn't continue talking, he was almost driven crazy by the potholes and wet mud road.

There was a lot of yellow mud on the uppers of his shoes, and he, who was still envious of the locals just now, couldn't figure out how anyone could live in such a place for a long time, and whether these shoes were still clean.

In order to ensure that his pants would not be rubbed in the mud, Jiang Qixiao walked extremely slowly.

Yang Shaoqing walked swiftly and was very experienced, so there was hardly any mud on his shoes.He stopped every ten steps and waited for Jiang Qixiao, complaining in his heart that Jiang Qixiao was not only a fool hurt by love, but also a mother-in-law than a woman.

After walking for half an hour, Jiang Qixiao finally arrived at the so-called Aunt Li's house, and Jiang Qixiao heaved a sigh of relief.

This is a small two-story house. The door has been painted with red paint indiscriminately, unevenly. The windows are tightly closed, covered with a layer of deep dust, and it is unknown how many years they have not been opened.There are two steps at the door, which are covered with mud and water.

Yang Shaoqing went forward to knock on the door, knocked several times before there was any movement in the room, and the one who opened the door was a little girl with a dirty face and double braids, big eyes, about eleven or twelve years old, and the same clothes. Dirty, stained with grease and the color of plaster.

When the little girl saw Yang Shaoqing, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said in standard Mandarin: "Brother, my mother is in the field in the west of the village."

Jiang Qixiao was taken aback. This little girl from the mountainous area spoke Mandarin so well!Compete with Yang Shaoqing.

"Xiao Yu'er, are you in school? Where's your brother?" Yang Shaoqing patted her head, took out two red bills from his pocket and handed them to her, "Come on, brother will buy you clothes."

The little girl named Xiao Yuer bit her lower lip and looked at Jiang Qixiao timidly: "My brother is sleeping in the house, and my father didn't let me go to school." Just after she finished speaking, there was a burst of crackling in the room. There was a sound, Xiao Yu'er turned around and saw that it was her three-year-old brother who ran out with his bare buttocks, and she hurried over to hug him.

Jiang Qixiao took two steps forward, stood beside Yang Shaoqing and took a look into the house. The house was full of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and everything he saw was very messy.He raised his eyebrows, turned his eyes to the younger brother in Xiao Yu'er's arms, and was shocked all of a sudden.

The child's clothes were dirty and scanty, not to mention the dirt on his face, and the snot flowed down an ugly red mark under his nose into his mouth. His upper lip was upturned, and a few teeth were exposed in his closed mouth. Flushed red, the skin cracked a lot.The child stretched out his finger and licked it a few times, looking curiously at the person in front of him.

The child had a cleft lip—that is, a cleft lip.

His appearance has a strong visual impact on Jiang Qixiao. After all, he is not a medical student, and he has never seen a child with such a cleft lip that has not been treated. Jiang Qixiao was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

In contrast, Yang Shaodang was much calmer. He took the 200 yuan and stuffed it into his brother's arms, and said to Xiao Yu'er, "You can buy something secretly for my brother, or you can buy it for yourself. Anyway, it's for my brother. Yours, you just keep it, I don’t know when I will come next time, don’t tell your mother.”

Xiao Yu'er hesitated for a while, as if he had considered his poor brother, so he didn't refuse again.

"Then I'll go and see your mother." Yang Shaoqing waved at the two children, saw Jiang Qixiao was still staring at the little boy, and pushed him, "Leave Jiang Qixiao."

Only then did Jiang Qixiao come back to his senses, and gave the two children a last look with complicated eyes, then turned around and followed Yang Shaoqing away.

This time when he was walking on the road, he didn't stare at his trousers carefully any more, his mind was fixed on the two children just now, and his thoughts were completely disturbed.

He had never seen such a poor child, so young, and so poorly dressed.The family environment is so bad, and they don't clean the house well. What kind of man is Xiao Yu'er's father, who would not let his children go to school.Her brother's injury...doesn't heal, just let him grow up like this?

Jiang Qixiao looked up at Yang Shaoqing beside him, and couldn't help but ask again: "You really grew up in this place?"

The tone was even more suspicious than yesterday's question.

He couldn't believe it, he couldn't imagine that Yang Shaoqing was like this when he was a child.

Eating your hands with a runny nose?

"Didn't you always want to know why my Mandarin is so good?" Yang Shaoqing glanced at him, "I'll take you to meet my teacher right now."

Speaking of this, Jiang Qixiao remembered that Xiao Yu'er's Mandarin was also very standard just now, could it be Xiao Yu'er's mother who taught them?Aunt Li?Married from far away to farm...or self-taught?No, if you are self-taught, your grades will not be so bad, right? If you have knowledge, you will be reduced to farming?

After walking for more than 20 minutes with a lot of questions, he finally arrived at the west of the village. Out of breath, he followed Yang Shaoqing up a slope and found Aunt Li who was bent over and busy in the field.

Jiang Qixiao was so exhausted that he didn't care if it was dirty or not, so he casually sat down on the big rock beside the field.

"Aunt Li!" Yang Shaoqing yelled after seeing the woman, and hurried over to take the tool from the woman's hand, "Go and rest for a while, I'll do it."

Aunt Li was sweating profusely and raised her head, gasping for breath and laughing at the same time: "Shao Qing, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The words are correct, the pronunciation is clear, and the Mandarin is very standard.

Only then did Jiang Qixiao see the woman's face clearly. Under the daily high-intensity farm work, her face was wrinkled and tanned. Except for the white teeth, there is basically no special place in the clothes I wear.

Aunt Li also noticed Jiang Qixiao at this moment, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said hello: "Hello."

"Hello." Jiang Qixiao waved unconsciously.

Yang Shaoqing gently pushed her to the edge of the mound and sat down, "Aunt Li, this is my neighbor, a man from other provinces, who came to play with me, and his name is Jiang Qixiao."

"Oh." As soon as Aunt Li heard that she was from another province, her heartbeat quickened a lot unconsciously, she hesitated to speak, "Where... are you from?"

Jiang Qixiao finished answering casually with a smile, and found that Aunt Li's eyes became a little strange, and the smile disappeared from her face. She frowned slightly and sighed softly, as if she was in a bad mood all of a sudden.

Jiang Qixiao looked at Yang Shaoqing suspiciously, and the latter returned a look that he couldn't understand, and then walked over to work.

The atmosphere is very... eerie.

Jiang Qixiao sat next to her as if on pins and needles, thinking to himself, this is the first time we met, why did he throw face, could it be that he has something to do with people from his hometown?

After 2 minutes of being so weird, Aunt Li sighed again, slowly raised her head to look at Jiang Qixiao, smiled stiffly, and said with some hesitation: "Then...there, now...how is the construction going? It's very... bustling."

"Ah?" Jiang Qixiao was slightly taken aback, realizing that she was talking about his hometown, "Ah, yes, it's pretty good, it's already very prosperous."

Aunt Li was silent again, she looked away, and stared at a certain place with a straight face.

Jiang Qixiao stretched out his hand and touched his nose. Seeing Aunt Li's nostalgic expression, he probably had been to their place before, but his tone felt a little off.

I just heard him say that he was from there, and somehow he became like this. Could it be that there are still people here who know the area?

The two sat side by side, and neither of them took the initiative to speak.

Aunt Li was immersed in her own world and didn't know what to think, while Jiang Qixiao didn't know what to say to her.

Yang Shaoqing was very fast, and it didn't take long for Aunt Li to finish all the work that Aunt Li was supposed to do all afternoon. He wiped off his sweat and walked over to sit next to Aunt Li, stretching out his hands to squeeze her shoulders and beat her back.

"Oh, it's better to be less caring, focus more, turn to the left... oh yes, it's there..." Aunt Li, who had a deep and speechless face just now, beamed with joy, and directed Yang Shaoqing to give her Press here and hammer there.

It was also rare for Yang Shaoqing to patiently listen to her instructions.

Jiang Qixiao sat at the side and stared at them thoughtfully. He was very curious about the relationship between Aunt Li and Yang Shaoqing. He had seen with his own eyes that Yang Shaoqing was particularly impatient with his parents. He exchanged with Yan Yuese without any complaints.

When she left, Aunt Li didn't say a word to Jiang Qixiao, and she didn't even look at him.

Jiang Qixiao said that he didn't understand what this meant.

On the way back, he asked Yang Shaoqing: "It's strange. It's the first time I've met your Aunt Li. Why doesn't she seem to have a good impression of me? I'm not that popular."

Yang Shaoqing pursed his lips, and said lightly: "Maybe you scared her because of your ugly appearance."

"……"Dogs bark!

Speaking of ugliness, Jiang Qixiao suddenly thought of Xiao Yu'er's younger brother whom he met today, the little boy who was blocked by a birth defect and couldn't see clearly what he should have looked like.

"Hey, that little fish's younger brother," Jiang Qixiao glanced at Yang Shaoqing, "Why don't you go for treatment, isn't the country providing free treatment in that case?"

Yang Shaoqing was stunned for a while, but didn't speak.

Aunt Li's husband is a man who brings out the habits of traditional Chinese men to the fullest. He drinks heavily, smokes weed, has a bad temper, and beats his wife and children whenever he wants to vent his anger. He has an undeniable position in the family.

He instinctively thought that curing his youngest son would cost a lot of money. Even if Aunt Li explained that the treatment was free, he still didn't take his son to the city because of the high cost of going to the city and other reasons.

Maybe she was also worried that Aunt Li would run away if she went to the city.

Yang Shaoqing had thought about it before, when he grew up and was capable, he would rescue Aunt Li and Xiao Yuer.

Yes, that's right, get out.

"Aunt Li... was abducted here." He said slowly, "When I was just born."

Jiang Qixiao was stunned.

abduction?

What do you mean?

Change direction?Cripple?bend?Posts for the disabled?

Or……

"Abduction... abduction?" Jiang Qixiao's voice trembled slightly.

Yang Shaoqing nodded.

Jiang Qixiao had indeed seen this kind of thing happen in the news. When a girl was traveling alone, she was trafficked and sold to a remote mountain village by a stranger to be a wife and a child-bearing tool.

He never imagined that he could actually witness the case with his own eyes in his lifetime.

"Then... Then she didn't think about running?" He asked.

Just now Aunt Li came out to work by herself without anyone following her. It shouldn't be difficult if she wanted to run away, right?

"Run?" Yang Shaoqing snorted softly, seeing him and Jiang Qixiao on the left and right, he said in a low voice, "No matter where you run, as long as you haven't left the village, or even within the scope of the town, you can run away." Can't run away."

It's not like he didn't see Aunt Li running away before, and was caught and beaten by the villagers, and the legs of the outsider who helped her escape were also crippled.

The people here are very united, and where there are villagers, Aunt Li's location will be known clearly by everyone, and it has been like a day for more than ten years.What's more, the terrain here is complicated, even if you are lucky enough to escape to the town, how do you get to the county by car, how do you get from the county to the city, and how much money?

In this place that is used to indifference to outsiders, don't expect anyone to be kind and help you.There are kind people, it depends on whether you are lucky enough to meet them.

"How long can it take you to run out of here with your legs? Don't say they still chase you with cars, even if they don't chase you, they can't escape. The terrain here is too complicated." Yang Shaoqing's eyes sank, and his hands didn't move. Instinctively clenched her hands tightly, as if she was faintly enduring something, "Aunt Li was originally from a big city, but she was abducted to such a place where every day should not be called ineffective when she was in high school. How about it, she gave birth to two...children who can't be taken away, and the gap with her peers outside...is also very big. "

Jiang Qixiao was in a complicated mood.

Yes, even if I escaped now, so what? All my classmates and friends in the past are social people with good jobs, careers, and happy families. She was locked up in the countryside for more than ten years and was forced to give birth. What good results can a woman who has a child have.

Accepting the sympathetic and disgusting eyes of others, how many people can face it calmly, and whether she has the courage to meet them in her current capacity is also a question.
