Chapter 209
At that time, Yun Jinxing was just a fresh graduate from university.
She is an orphan, but fortunately she met some good people who could lend her a helping hand as she grew up. Most of her living expenses from childhood to adulthood came from donations from kind people.
Therefore, before graduating, Yun Jinxing had already decided to teach in remote areas for a period of time, and for this purpose she even obtained a teacher's qualification certificate.
But her life came to an abrupt end because of this teaching mission.
When they learned that she was coming here to teach, her friends from the Academy of Fine Arts contacted her and said that they also wanted to go out and travel around and visit the mountain village to see the local customs and culture.
The two friends are a couple in an ambiguous period.
The three of them walked together, and when they arrived at the nearby town, Yun Jinxing found that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more remote. She was already worried, so she planned to ask the teacher at school if there were other students who came here to teach, so that she could wait for a while and go with them.
But before Yun Jinxing could wait for the teacher's reply, the two people who came with her became impatient and kept waiting. The boy even asked her if she was thinking too much and had paranoid delusions.
The girl also kept persuading them, and finally when the three of them were unhappy, they had to find a compromise. They walked a little further towards their destination, then asked someone for directions and found out about the local customs and culture of the place where they were going to teach.
Yun Jinxing was already very careful and vigilant, but in fact, fate always likes to play tricks on people. They met He Jiapeng, the only high school student in Hejia Village.
He Jiapeng told them that it was a bit far from the place where he was going to teach, but it was dark and there were no safe hotels in the town, so he invited them to stay in the village for one night before leaving.
Yun Jinxing was reluctant, but her two companions were not vigilant to begin with, and were also confused by He Jiapeng's identity as a high school student...
Little did people know that He Jiapeng was the "hidden line" of Hejiacun outside.
He Jiapeng brought the three people back to Hejia Village, where they were warmly welcomed by the villagers.
The villagers arranged a home for them, and on the surface nothing seemed wrong.
Yun Jinxing moved into He Yonghong's house. At that time, there was a boy and a girl in their family. The younger one, He Jiarong, was only two years old, and was learning to walk by stumbling in the yard in open-crotch pants. The older one, He Fang, was only three or four years old. The family seemed to be the most "safe" family in the entire village.
So Yun Jinxing carefully moved into their house and decided to leave as soon as possible the next morning.
Because the road up the mountain was too difficult to walk on, their luggage was left in the town at the foot of the mountain, and they planned to go back and get it after finding a teaching site the next day.
But Yun Jinxing never came down the mountain again.
That night, the water she drank was drugged, something that had never appeared in her daily life before, and it easily took away all her defenses.
When she woke up the next day, her body was covered with scars and she knew she must have been assaulted while she was unconscious.
I couldn't send out text messages asking for help, and I couldn't call the police. This place deep in the mountains was so poor that there wasn't even a communication base station. Or maybe someone had deliberately blocked all signals here.
When her attempt to seek help on her own failed, she did not make a scene, but calmly suggested leaving when the other two came over.
She had to go down the mountain, whether she took her luggage with her or not, and leave here as quickly as possible.
Leaving this family, this village, this place surrounded by mountains.
But the other two were not satisfied. They had climbed the mountain for half a day with great effort and went to the top of the mountain in the morning to enjoy the beautiful sunrise. The people in the village were also very hospitable. They had come here with great difficulty, so how could they just leave?
Yun Jinxing had no choice but to tell them what happened to her last night. In order to prove that she was not dreaming, she even let her friends see the marks on her body.
Every day and night after that, Yun Jinxing could think of the shocked look on the girl's face when she unzipped her collar that day, and the vaguely disgusted expression on the boy's face after he left.
As if they were some kind of dirty thing, they subconsciously moved several steps away from them.
Anyway, fortunately they were willing to leave.
But in fact, once they entered the village, they had no choice but to leave or stay.
It was not until they were surrounded by villagers that the other two felt fear and terror.
They in turn helped the villagers subdue themselves and sent them back to He Yonghong's home to be locked up.
Yun Jinxing didn’t know how they convinced the villagers to let them go temporarily, but she was sent back to hell by her own companions.
She also felt that twisted and disgusting sense of "ritual". When she heard He Guizhi saying with a smile that she would be the mother of two children in the future, Yun Jinxing knew that it was impossible to ask this woman to let her go.
"She's going to sleep with that beast tonight. No matter how defensive the girl is, it's useless."
Yun Jinxing recalled the time when she had used all her tricks. Her eyes were dark and deep, and every word she said was filled with the most poisonous hatred in the world: "Because he doesn't need the woman's cooperation, a handkerchief soaked with drugs is enough."
She had also considered the existence of drugs, so she threw away the mosquito coils at the door, sealed the door, and blocked the windows from the inside. But even so... after the other party came in, he covered her face with a wet towel, and all her struggles disappeared like a joke.
At this point, Yun Jinxing looked up at the people who looked unhappy and reminded them: "If you go any later, it might be too late to stop it."
"Are we going like this?" He Jiapeng was undecided and looked at Su Xiaotong and Zhang Yu beside him.
Su Xiaotong and Zhang Yu didn't have any good ideas in their minds for a moment, but they couldn't just rely on passion to save people, right?
So the three of them looked at each other. Even though there was not much light in the cowshed, they could see the similar confusion in each other's eyes.
…The atmosphere fell into an anxious and awkward silence for a moment.
Yun Jinxing: “…”
Although he had expected this, when these three people finally looked at him at the same time, Yun Jinxing couldn't help but close his eyes helplessly.
She calmed herself down and said as calmly as possible, "If the three of you are really in the same group, then He Jiapeng should go home quickly, and the other two should go to rescue people. Don't make too much noise. Just find an excuse to go to the He family, delay time to stop He Yonghong from doing anything to the girl, and then wake her up. If the family wants to turn against you, you can catch He Yonghong and his son to threaten He Guizhi, and she will temporarily compromise."
After finishing the call, Yun Jinxing saw the three people still standing there in a daze. After a moment of silence, he reminded them: "It will be too late if you don't go now."
The method of saving people has been told, and they have to figure out how to implement it. And whether Xie Jinan can wait until they rescue him depends on Xie Jinan's life.
Just like she did back then, she had clearly thought of all the feasible escape routes, but because of the betrayal of those two people...she ended up in complete defeat.
Six years later, same identity, different partners, different choices, will Xie Jinan have a completely different destiny from his own?
Knowing that they had a way to save people, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and dared not underestimate her anymore.
Before leaving, Su Xiaotong looked at her legs dragging motionlessly on the straw in the dark, and asked hesitantly, "...What are you going to do?"
Yun Jinxing subconsciously hugged the quiet little girl in her arms and said softly, "Don't worry about me, save her first."
After they left one after another, Yun Jinxing lowered her head and discovered in the moonlight that the child in her arms had unknowingly had tears all over his face.
"Why are you crying?" She raised her hand and carefully wiped away the wet tears on the little face.
Yunmian pursed her lips and looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, her tear-soaked eyes full of heartache.
"Mom..." She couldn't help but bury her head in her mother's arms and whispered sullenly, "Don't be sad, Mom. Mianmian will protect you well every day in the future."
For Yunmian, every word her mother said was like a thorn that pierced her body.
But she had no way to go back to the long, long time ago, no way to stop her mother who was carried into this mountain by fate, and no way to save her when her mother was in danger like she did the night before.
Yunmian was not by her mother's side every time she was in pain, sadness and despair.
This realization made Yunmian feel sad, so tears started to flow uncontrollably...
Yun Jinxing was stunned for a moment when she heard her daughter's promise in tears, then she frowned and smiled silently, reaching out to hold the silently crying child in her arms.
"I'm not sad anymore." She rested her chin gently on her daughter's head. In the hot and smelly cowshed, she endured the pain all over her body that would never heal. She said to the child who came five years late in her life in a gentle voice, "The moment I saw Mianmian, I was protected by you."
But that’s not enough…
Yunmian hugged her mother, sniffed, wiped away her tears, and said sullenly, "Mom, I'm sorry..."
Yun Jinxing responded softly, without asking the little girl why she said sorry, nor did she say anything that it didn't matter.
She had experienced too much chaos and pain in her life. From birth to death, fate had played a terrible joke on her.
This word "I'm sorry"... maybe it shouldn't be said by a child, but rather it should be a belated apology from the big hand that controls destiny.
But no matter who said it, it doesn't matter anymore.
If he could leave here, Yun Jinxing knew that his broken legs and the scars on his face and body would be enough to make the society outside the mountain give him more harsh treatment.
If I can't leave here, I would have prepared for death long ago. The only thing I can't let go of is the little child in my arms.
So no matter alive or dead, no matter leaving or staying, Yun Jinxing's only obsession is to send Yun Mian out of the confinement of these mountains.
Apart from this, any other torture, test, joke... doesn't matter anymore.
She lived in the disgusting nights six years ago, in the day when her leg was broken and her cheek was scratched, and in every hopeless day and night living with the cows.
Unless all those who pushed her into the abyss receive equal retribution, Yun Jinxing will never wake up from the nightmare again.
When the system hurriedly flew up from below, the child, who had been tossing and turning for a whole day and night, was actually sleeping soundly in the cowshed, leaning against his mother.
Perhaps mother’s arms are the safest and warmest in the world. There is no crisis, no pain, and it can accommodate all love, hate and tears.
The system stopped on the cow's back and looked at the mother and daughter for a few seconds, then flew over and rubbed the child's soft cheek as usual, nestled itself in her arms, and calmed down as well.
All was peaceful in the cowshed.
But outside, the situation was in chaos.
The update will be in the middle of the night. As usual, I’m going to have a midnight snack first!
