As they were talking, they saw a villager driving a donkey cart.

Chen Wei asked the villagers, "Young man, how far is it from here to Lingnan?"

The villagers looked at the three people and said, "This place belongs to Lingnan."

"Where are you three planning to go to seek refuge with your relatives?"

Chen Wei replied, "Alas, our younger brother wrote to us last year and invited us to come to Lingnan."

"But I have a bad memory and have forgotten where my brother lives. I left in such a hurry that I didn't even take the letter with me."

The villagers said enthusiastically: "You are already old. If you keep walking like this, you won't reach any populated areas before dark."

"Come up, I'll take you to the village to rest."

Chen Wei was not polite and said happily: "Thank you, little brother. May good people live a peaceful life."

The three of them took a ride and finally arrived at the village before dark.

After dark.

The three of them lived in an old, dilapidated house in the village. There was a big hole in the roof. Looking up, they could see a sky full of stars. The wind was howling, and it was cold and full of mosquitoes in the old house. It was simply unbearable.

But the three of them were extremely tired, so they simply put some hay under them and fell asleep.

They were not worried that someone would do something bad to them. After all, even they themselves could not stand the stench on their bodies. Who would be so dirty as to come to three dirty and smelly old ladies in the middle of the night?

Before dawn, the three of them heard crying and noise outside.

When Chen Wei woke up, Xiaoying was already awake, only Xiaoman was still sleeping.

The two looked at each other and prepared to go and see what was going on.

After walking a few steps out of the old house, the two saw a shocking scene.

A fifty-year-old woman let go of the baby in her arms and the baby fell into the toilet.

The loud cry of the baby was instantly drowned out. The moment the sound disappeared, Chen Wei and Xiaoying ran over quickly, but they were still a step too late.

"This...this is still a newborn baby."

Xiaoying asked, she just noticed that there was blood on the baby, so it could only be a newborn baby.

But who wouldn’t even swaddle a newborn baby?

And... why bring a baby to the toilet...

They dare not think about it.

The woman glanced at them, her expression normal, but the words she spoke sent chills down their spines.

"We are poor in Lingnan. Even adults can barely afford to eat. Girls are a waste of money. If we don't keep them, they will starve to death."

"This will also give her some closure, so she can be reborn as a human being sooner."

Chen Wei felt a surge of anger rising to the top of his head. That was a life, and he killed it like that, and he could still talk about it so confidently.

As soon as she took a step forward, Xiaoying, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, reached out and grabbed her in time.

"go back."

Xiaoying held Chen Wei tightly, fearing that Chen Wei would quarrel with the woman.

They have seen that the poorer and more remote the place, the more stubborn and rigid the thinking. They have their own theories, and arguing with them will not produce any results.

Chen Wei was pulled back to the old house by Xiaoying. Chen Wei closed his eyes, his eyes full of frustration and anger: "I'm fine, I won't make trouble with them."

"I'm just, just so angry......"

At this time, Xiaoman also woke up. She sat up from the ground, feeling itchy all over, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch.

"Girls, why are you awake so early?"
