Zheng Haiyao was born in a mountainous area far away from the sea.

He hates his hometown!

Hated this place that trapped his mother all her life until she died.

He hates the trafficker who abducted his mother, and the person who bought his mother.

He hated that man, the man he had to call his father.

I hate the smell of cigarettes that often lingers on his body.

Yes, in this backward mountain village, if you can't get a wife, you can only rely on buying.

His mother was originally a college student in a developed coastal city. She grew up in a superior family, but she didn't know that people's hearts were sinister. She was too simple, really too simple.

So it is easy to be deceived.

Because I want to save people with good intentions.

Was kidnapped.

Sold to this mountain village very far away from the sea, to a man I didn't know at all.

He resisted, escaped, and even committed suicide.

It's a pity that she got married, was beaten, failed to run, and finally became pregnant.

This woman was so soft-hearted, she was already determined to die, but was persuaded by another woman bought from the same village, and she was reluctant to part with the unborn child.

That woman may have struggled fiercely too.

But in the end, they all succumbed to reality, staying in this mountain village, living the poorest life, being called around every day, and there is endless work to do.

Facing the oppression of her husband and mother-in-law numbly, she only wanted to bring up her son.

"A child is always innocent, what can he do wrong. He is already here, and from the day he started his heartbeat, he has the closest bond with you. It would be too pitiful if even his mother abandoned him like this It's gone." She patted Zheng Haiyao across her belly, persuading her.

Weak women are persuaded.

She really didn't want to live such a life, and planned to die if she couldn't escape.

But when he died, the child in his womb also died.

"From the day his heart started beating, he has had the closest connection with you." This sentence is absolutely true. Ever since she knew she had a child, she was shaken.

She could die, but she couldn't just end the life of the child in her womb.

Be born, she thought, this is a precious treasure, the most precious thing she has now.

After giving birth to Zheng Haiyao, she grew up little by little, no longer an ignorant little girl, and actually lived in the mountain village.

Being a mother is strong, never backing down even in the face of a grumpy mother-in-law.

But if Zheng Haiyao were to make this decision, he would rather not have been born.

His father is a sick child, his grandmother is strong and violent, but his mother is the most gentle person in the world.

Zheng Haiyao, like all naughty children in mountain villages, is wild and disobedient, running all over the mountains and fields all day long.

Clean clothes are dirty at night.

Mother never blamed him for such a reason, but silently washed his clothes and told him: "Tomorrow can't be done."

He always promised well, and ran the same the next day.

For other children, the mountains are mysterious, and after running for a few days, this sense of mystery will disappear.

But for Zheng Haiyao.

There are other meanings as well.

All in all, his childhood life was quite comfortable.

His father was sick all the year round, had a weak personality, and couldn't make up his mind about things.Never discipline him, never punish him.

It is precisely because his father has been ill all year round that his grandma never did anything to him, but she was very afraid that he would get bumped.

As for the mother, she would not beat and scold him anymore.

She is always gentle.

Zheng Haiyao knew why this tenderness was.

He would rather not accept this kindness, and would rather be beaten and scolded. Even if he is never punished, it doesn't mean he is happy.

Because he knows that mother is never happy.

I am my mother's only hope, and the reason why she is willing to stay.

Even if she never said it, Zheng Haiyao knew it.If it wasn't for her own existence, her mother would have run away long ago.

Whether she succeeds or not, she will definitely run.

From the name given by the mother, it can be seen that what the mother yearns for is the distant sea.

rather than dense forests.

Since his mother can stay for him, then he can find a way to leave for his mother.

The village is terribly closed.

He didn't know if all mountain villages were like this, but it seemed that there was no one who left the village except for the traffickers.

Whether it's work or study, no one has ever stepped out of the mountains.

It seemed to be blocked by some invisible barrier.

This group of people was born, aged, sick and died in the mountains, going round and round, eating the simplest food, working day after day, waiting to die.

But since there are still traffickers, there must be a way out.

Moreover, he also discovered something very unusual.

Regardless of men and women in the village, except for a few who really get married, others rely on buying "husbands" and "daughter-in-laws" from outside.

There is nothing in the village except the crops grown, and those crops are ordinary and unusual.

Why do those traffickers keep selling people in.

He is not a philanthropist, he has to worry about the continuation of his bloodline.

Zheng Haiyao has been looking for a way out since he was very young, but he has not been able to find it.

Even if there is no enchantment, there must be something wrong with the mountain. It is always easy to be stunned in this forest, even if you mark it, it is useless.

He wandered in the mountains all year round, but he had other gains.

Traffickers camp outside the village for a few days when they arrive and when they leave.

They never lived in the village.

So I was often overheard by Zheng Haiyao who was wandering around.

He first discovered that the number of people they brought did not match the number of people who "married" in the end.

There are always some young men and women who disappear inexplicably.

But when I was young, I was afraid of being caught, so I didn't dare to get too close. Year after year, when I was fifteen years old, I finally heard something useful again.

"This time the goods are not bad." A human trafficker said.

At first Zheng Haiyao thought he was talking about someone, but this time the daughter-in-law who is going to "marry" in the next door is very beautiful.

But the other person immediately spoke up, saying something different: "This time the shredded tobacco is indeed high-quality, and it looks good."

"Take this thing out and sell it to rich people, and you will get a lot of money."

It turned out that people were sold to mountain villages, and in exchange, what they got was shredded tobacco.

It was the dry tobacco his father smoked all the year round.

"What kind of tobacco do rich people smoke?" Zheng Haiyao sneered.

He often wondered about his father smoking.

He is obviously sick, but he has never stopped smoking, and he doesn't look like he wants to smoke, and he even feels a little repulsive.

But whenever grandma handed over the cigarette, he still caught it.

Grandma is not an ignorant person. She clearly cares about her sick son very much, but she always hands him a stick of tobacco every day.

too weird!

For as long as he could remember, his father had been sick as if he was dying, and yet he had been smoking for so many years.He always looked like he was dying of illness, but he never died.

Besides, there are too many smokers in this village.

In every household, regardless of gender, there are always a few people who smoke.

And it's usually the elderly and people in poor health.

Every household has a nasty smell of smoke.

There must be a secret to this smoke.

But he has no intention of delving into these secrets now.As long as he knows that what the trafficker needs is shredded tobacco, he will have a bargaining chip in exchange.

Shredded tobacco, there are a lot of them in grandma's house!

Negotiate with the traffickers and ask them to transport themselves and their mother out quietly. As long as they give enough cigarettes, they will definitely be tempted.

The rest is how to steal enough cigarettes.

Stealing cigarettes is not difficult, he already knew where the cigarettes at home were kept.

But in order not to startle the snake, he didn't take all the cigarettes away at once.Only took a small part to talk to the traffickers.

After the talk was over, I thought about my language and went to discuss with my mother about leaving.

"Does mother want to see the sea?" He said cautiously, of course he knew she wanted to, but the sea was like a wound that couldn't be touched, and he never dared to bring it up in front of his mother.

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Sure enough, when she heard Hai, her eyes dimmed. "It's better to know a few more words than to say that there are some of them, and you will know how to run into the mountains every day."

Because of the matter of sending her children to study, she had a rare and strong argument with her mother-in-law several times.Even if you don't go out of the mountains for the rest of your life, it's always good to know a few more words.

However, this matter was left unsolved in the end, because if I didn’t go out, there would be no school to study in.

"I know, I know, when I go out, I will definitely study hard." All the knowledge Zheng Haiyao acquired comes from his mother, and he does not reject reading, but now there is more important. "Today... I met those people."

Seeing her mother showing an unhappy expression, she hurriedly said, "I've already discussed with them, and I'll take us out tonight."

The mother suddenly opened her eyes wide, with stars shining in her eyes.

At this moment, she coincided with the girl who was still full of hope.

Instead of a rapidly aging woman who is about to compromise with life.

Seeing her performance, Zheng Haiyao explained everything carefully again.

When I heard that I exchanged tobacco with these people.She trembled slightly, but said nothing.

Even though she felt that the plan was full of loopholes, she did not raise objections.She wished so much to leave.In the past, even if she had no plan, she dared to run desperately overnight.

So now even if there is only a little bit of hope.

Still want to try it.

At night, Zheng Haiyao went to get more shredded tobacco, took his mother into the woods, met the traffickers, and slowly moved away from the mountain village.

The farther you are from the mountain village, the closer you are to hope.

Towards dawn, hope died.

After getting through the dense forest, even if he left the mountain, Zheng Haiyao gave the "final payment" to the leader.Then the leader suddenly took out a whistle and blew it, the sound was sharp and frightening.

"Don't panic, just use this sound to drive away some dangerous animals such as poisonous snakes." He comforted.

Zheng Haiyao underestimated the greed of human nature.

Of course the trafficker wanted more shredded tobacco, so he agreed to Zheng Haiyao's agreement.But if he really ran away for him, he would probably lose his "source of goods" forever.From the very beginning, no one thought of helping him escape.

The author has something to say: In addition to this, there are two other episodes of the red ticket, so let me post this first.

I'm in a low mood, and I really can't write a small theater with a cheerful atmosphere. I will try my best to adjust during this time.

If you feel that there is something wrong with the novel, you must tell me. If you run away quietly, I will be really sad TAT
