Chapter 62: Repeating a year ago, Minguan. ...

One year ago, Minguan.

The black car was driving slowly on the winding mountain road.

Since entering this mountain range, Su Huaiwang has not seen other people, but fortunately the weather has been good, the sun is shining brightly, and the sun is shining on people, so he is not too scared.

When Su Huaiwang thought of the purpose of his trip, his hands holding the steering wheel shook violently twice.

She now began to regret why she had set off in a fit of rage and run to such a deserted place.

If something unexpected happens, no one will know.

Fortunately, although it is said to be a desolate wilderness with no human habitation, it is actually not that desolate. After all, you can occasionally see the safety warning signs and flashing boards set up by the state.

The power of civilization made Su Huaiwang, the socialist giant baby, calm down and continue driving forward.

Nanguan Village was probably not far away. Su Huaiwang looked at the map he had downloaded in advance, and when he looked up, he saw the sign for Nanguan Village.

The sign flashed by, and I could only vaguely see a few words and some mottled scratches on it, as if it had not been changed for a long time.

The dirt road was bumpy, so Su Huaiwang drove slowly and it took him a while to reach the outskirts of the village where there were houses.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a thin fog had suddenly appeared around. Su Huaiwang noticed it as soon as he got out of the car.

A light mist surrounded her, like a hound sniffing the unfamiliar scent on her.

Su Huaiwang ignored the natural weather phenomenon and walked towards the village fully armed.

She walked on the dry dirt road, and when she looked up she could occasionally see a few mud houses among the red brick houses.

And unlike what was said on the forum, this place did not look deserted. Every now and then, a few teenagers couldn't resist their curiosity and stretched their heads to look at her, the outsider.

But there seemed to be something in their eyes that made Su Huaiwang feel a little uncomfortable.

She planned to take a walk around the village first.

She has basically forgotten all the interviewing skills she learned in college, and she needs to prepare herself mentally before awkwardly asking people questions.

From the outside, this is just an ordinary small village.

The old man was wielding a hoe in the small field under his house, while the young and middle-aged men gathered in the house next to the small shop, squatting in three layers around the card table. From time to time, their excited roars could be heard.

If I must say there is something different.

That is, Su Huaiwang has never seen a woman in this village.

There weren't even any elderly women. From the elderly to the children, all were men.

It seems that the bachelor problem in rural areas is really serious, Su Huaiwang sighed.

She stepped towards the card table, wanting to get closer to see what cards they were playing.

But before she got close, the sound of card-throwing stopped, along with the shouting and cursing.

They turned their heads at the same time, their red eyes fixed on Su Huaiwang.

Su Huaiwang turned around and quickly walked away from that place of trouble.

He put his hand in his pocket and weighed the knife inside, and his pounding heart finally calmed down a little.

She continued to wander aimlessly, but it seemed that no matter where she went, there were vague gazes on her, like sticky fleas, disgusting and persistent.

Su Huaiwang shuddered and turned his head to look around, just in time to see a few boys who hurriedly shrank their heads.

Su Huaiwang rubbed the hairs on his hands, feeling evil in his heart. He didn't care about the purpose of this trip and walked quickly towards the parking lot at the entrance of the village.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed. Fortunately, the owners of those sights only dared to watch and did nothing.

Although Su Huaiwang was carrying a weapon, she knew her own strengths and weaknesses and was unwilling to put herself in danger.

When he was about to reach the village entrance, Su Huaiwang subconsciously looked around himself.

Those annoying gazes disappeared, replaced by a curled up little girl.

There was a little girl with pigtails, huddled in a corner crying, secretly looking up at her while crying.

Su Huaiwang frowned, but ultimately he couldn't overcome the moral consciousness in his heart.

She walked over, opened a candy, and asked in an unskilled tone of coaxing a child:

"What's wrong? Why are you crying here? Where is your home?"

The little girl raised her head, revealing a face that looked like a little cat:

"No one at home likes me, and I don't want to stay at home."

"How can I not like you? You're so cute."

Su Huaiwang took out a tissue and wiped the little girl's face.

The paper towel quickly became stained black.

The little girl was dressed like a typical rural girl, with dark skin and a dirty T-shirt that was several sizes too big for her. According to current social aesthetics, she was not cute.

Hearing the older sister in front of her say this, the little girl sniffed, her eyes filled with anticipation and caution: "Really? Do you really think I'm cute?"

"Yes." Su Huaiwang nodded firmly.

"Then sister, can you take me away? I don't want to stay here anymore." As she said this, her nose felt sore and she started crying again.

Su Huaiwang was in a dilemma: "This..."

"Please, sister, please take me away. They beat me and don't give me food. I really don't want to stay here anymore."

Seeing the little girl crying harder and harder, Su Huaiwang's head hurt more and more.

"Well... you might not understand what I'm telling you now, but our country has a household registration system..."

The little girl seemed to have broken down in tears, and she screamed in a shrill voice: "They are forcing me to get married! But I don't want to get married! I also want to go to school like my brother!"

Su Huaiwang's face froze as he was about to continue speaking.

She still couldn't get over her useless moral code and compassion.

The woman sighed and put a finger to her lips: "Shh, keep your voice down."

The girl's sobbing slowed down.

Su Huaiwang moved closer to her and whispered in a low voice, "Hold my hand, and think of it as me taking you out to play."

As she spoke, she carefully observed her surroundings out of the corner of her eye.

Are you kidding? What if the villagers found out that she kidnapped a child and sentenced her to death by drowning in a pig cage?

It was the first time she had done anything like this. She could have chosen not to do it, but she simply couldn't turn her back on the little girl.

Forget it, as long as we get to the city, I can ask Tu Zhizhuo to find a lawyer. There will always be a way to solve it... right?

Su Huaiwang made up his mind and stuffed the candy in his hand to the little girl: "Come with me."

The girl looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you, sister, but I can't leave."

She lifted up her wide trouser legs, and Su Huaiwang immediately gasped.

The girl's calves and ankles were covered with blue and purple bruises. Some places were even beaten to a bloody mess. Without timely treatment, they showed a tendency to fester and stuck to the inferior fabric. The rotten smell rushed into Su Huaiwang's nostrils.

Su Huaiwang turned around without hesitation: "I'll carry you."

The girl looked at the soft and clean clothes of the woman in front of her, and a light that did not belong to a child flashed in her eyes.

The little person leaned against her, and the smell became stronger, not only the smell of blood, but also the stench of not having a bath for a long time.

Su Huaiwang frowned. He had already decided to send her to the hospital first and then take her to take a bath. As for the police station and the lawyer... he had to put them aside for now.

"Hold my neck. This is my first time carrying someone, so it might be a little unstable." She instructed the girl.

The girl obediently hugged her neck, leaving two black marks on her slender white neck.

The fog seemed to be thicker, and Su Huaiwang didn't know why.

She saw the outline of a person in the fog and quickly dodged it, lowering her head and rushing towards where the car was, following the route she remembered.

Someone shattered the silence first, and a scream pierced the mist:

"She stole the baby! Catch her!"

Su Huaiwang was startled, his legs subconsciously went limp, and his heart jumped into his throat.

Even so, she still did not forget to comfort the little girl: "Don't worry, we will be there soon, we won't be caught."

The weight on his back was very light, and the little girl was unusually quiet. Su Huaiwang always felt like he was carrying a paper man on his back.

She heard the little girl laugh softly: "...Yeah."

It felt a little strange, but he didn't know what was strange. Su Huaiwang had no choice but to grit his teeth and rush forward desperately, leaving those figures behind in the fog.

Perhaps it was the physical test in college that helped her, or perhaps it was Xiao Huang's burst of energy and running around while she was walking the dog that helped her, Su Huaiwang actually left all the villagers behind.

The car was still parked there.

Su Huaiwang ran over hurriedly, panting, and his trembling hands almost made him fail to hold the car door firmly.

After throwing the little girl into the passenger seat, she rushed into the driver's seat at lightning speed, without even having time to fasten her seat belt, and started the car.

The car sped away and disappeared into the fog, leaving all the curses in the exhaust gas.

It was not until they had driven a long way that Su Huaiwang felt a little relieved.

She stopped the car temporarily on the side of the road, reached over to help the girl fasten her seat belt, and muttered:

"Aren't children allowed to sit in the passenger seat? This is an emergency, and there seems to be no other way..."

The girl's eyes were locked on her as she fastened her seatbelt.

It was also a persistent and sticky gaze, but it was not disgusting like those boys. Instead, it gave people a warm feeling of being relied on.

Su Huaiwang smiled at her and comforted her: "It's okay now. I'll take you to the hospital later. Everything will be fine. By the way, do you want to eat something first? I have some candy here."

After searching for a while, the woman found a red-wrapped candy in her hand.

The girl took the candy from her hand, unwrapped it, and put the sweetness into her mouth: "...Thank you."

Su Huaiwang tilted his head in confusion: "Hmm?" He always felt that the girl's way of speaking had changed a lot, and she no longer sounded like a child.

The girl held the candy in her mouth and turned to look at her: "You actually rescued me."

"What do you mean...?" Su Huaiwang was in a trance.

Amber eyes? Were her eyes actually amber? Such a beautiful color, how could she not have noticed?

…

The black car was driving slowly on the winding mountain road.

I don’t know when the fog started to appear. Su Huaiwang frowned. The fog seemed a little too thick.

But she had already arrived at Nanguan Village and it was not easy to turn back.

Voyeurism, malice, madness... There are many strange things, but Su Huaiwang is not surprised at all.

It was as if she had experienced this before.

The only difference was that she saw the chained girl in the pigsty.

Her eyes are bright and her brows are serious.

She had no choice.

She couldn't turn her back.

The weight on my back felt like paper that would burn with a single spark.

She ran forward with her head down, only remembering that the girl's amber eyes were very beautiful.

…

The black car was driving slowly on the winding mountain road.

The fog was so thick that she should have returned directly. Su Huaiwang couldn't understand why she didn't return.

But now that we've come this far, there's no turning back.

Voyeurism, malice, madness... There are many strange things, but Su Huaiwang has become accustomed to it all.

As if she had faced this all the time.

The only difference was that she found a dying woman by the well.

There are scars all over his body and his appearance is terrifying.

She had no choice.

She couldn't turn her back.

The weight on my back felt like paper that would burn with a single spark.

She ran forward with her head down, and only remembered the dazzling amber hue in the woman's slightly opened eyes.

…

On the winding mountain road.

The mist embraced her.

Author's Note: Su Huaiwang: How should I explain to you... Our country is a country with a sound household registration system and a legal system...

When I was writing about Paper, I thought of Paper House, which I quite liked, although not to the point of liking it that much. However, I booked a ticket to go on a pilgrimage to Zigong (Master of Contradiction).
