Chapter 336: One Family Has a Daughter
"Yin Shan is injured, so he..."
"Don't worry, our people will be here soon. Don't be afraid, it won't be long before someone comes to rescue us."
Lu Fan was afraid that she would be scared, so he hurried to comfort her.
"I'm afraid it's difficult."
A strange voice sounded in the darkness, and everyone became alert instantly.
Vivian asked, "Teacher Feng?"
Bai Fang: "It's you? Are you awake?"
"Um."
Lu Fan said in a deep voice: "You have been pretending to be unconscious."
"I just don't feel like talking."
He Nanxi said quickly:
"Teacher Feng is a good man. He knows a lot of information."
In the darkness, she clearly felt Vivian and Lin Ruoyi moving closer to her.
There's nothing we can do, she's the only one who's vulnerable at the scene.
Others all had some skills, but she was just a little loser who was beaten unconscious for two hours.
Damn, I'm so angry! I'm going to sign up for a martial arts class when I get home!
Bai Fang's voice was full of defense:
"You'd better behave yourself."
"If it was really me who informed on you, I wouldn't be locked up with you."
"Then why didn't you speak before?"
"Oh, I'm just starving. I have low blood sugar."
Bai Fang: ...
She couldn't refute this reason.
Lu Fan asked, "Have you been locked up here for a long time?"
"Since Teacher He left yesterday, he has been locked up."
He was locked up here last night.
After He Nanxi and his companions left yesterday, he was abandoned in this cave by the village chief and his men. The next morning, He Nanxi and his companions came to reunite with him.
Teacher Feng's face was filled with bitterness. "I never thought you would call the police. Now I'm afraid none of us will get out alive."
He Nanxi opened his mouth and said, "I didn't call the police in town. Sister Fang and Brother Lu were both sent by the city."
"How do you know there are no people from the village in the city?"
Teacher Feng asked back, and everyone suddenly became serious.
Vivian frowned:
"Shuiwan Village is just a village, and it's so poor. How could it have such extraordinary abilities?"
He Nanxi suddenly realized something: "Are they really poor? I'm afraid... not necessarily."
Bai Fang: "But Shuiwan Village is indeed notoriously poor. We've considered developing it before, but it was shelved for various reasons."
He Nanxi pondered for a moment:
"I saw the information about Shuiwan Village on an official website. It was precisely because of the poverty here that I decided to come and donate to build a Hope Primary School. If I can see it, can't others see it? If I donate money, will others not donate too?"
"You're quite clever."
Teacher Feng spoke softly:
"Shuiwan Village isn't poor, it's filthy rich. They're just pretending to be poor to trick wealthy people into donating. They've ruined every attempt to develop Shuiwan Village's tourism industry. They don't want the village to become wealthy. Where else would they get all that money? How can they find wives for all those bachelors in the village?"
Lü Fan: "So the trafficking of women is also true."
"It's true. They not only trafficked women, but also bought and sold boys. They even sold their own daughters. Their hearts are rotten."
Lin Ruoyi realized the key problem:
"Then why didn't they kill you?"
Yes, they were arrested and wanted to be killed just because they found some clues. Why is Teacher Feng still alive and well?
"It's the same whether I'm alive or dead. I can't leave this village. My every word and action is monitored. And it's precisely because of my existence that people are attracted to sponsor students. In their eyes, I'm just a tool that still has value."
"Do you know where this is?"
Bai Fang pursed her lips.
Everything else can come later; the most important thing now is to escape.
"I don't know either."
"Have they kidnapped many people?"
Lin Ruoyi's voice rang out in the darkness, and Teacher Feng said faintly:
"Probably... half of the wives in this village were abducted, and some families even bought more than one."
The air grew silent.
The number of people who buy wives represents the number of families who suffer the pain of separation.
“Why do human traffickers live in this world?”
He Nanxi murmured, "If you want to marry a wife, why can't you marry her openly? Why do you have to buy one?"
Vivian's eyes were filled with hatred: "Behind the saying that one family has a daughter and a hundred families seek her, the truth is that a hundred families have a daughter and only one family keeps her."
"There is a mountain behind the village called Burial Girl Mountain."
Teacher Feng leaned against the wall, and it seemed that the inconspicuous mountain appeared before his eyes.
"The unwanted baby girls in the village, the women who were disobedient or ran away, and those who were abducted but would rather die than obey were all buried on that mountain. It was a mass grave."
There seemed to be a cold wind blowing in the air, making people's hair stand on end.
“It’s truly horrific.”
There were only sighs left in the darkness, and silence spread among everyone.
…
Fu Ci Yan hurried and finally arrived at Qingxi Town in the morning.
His face looked bad due to traveling all night, but he refused to rest for a moment.
For some reason, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Fu Ciyan? What are you doing here?"
Fu Ciyan turned around suddenly and saw He Chao, and immediately became more anxious:
"Brother, are you here to look for Nanxi? Where is she now?"
He Chao was still wary of his former brother-in-law. After all, he had hurt his sister so much in the past because he was protecting another woman.
If the law had not prohibited it, he would have given this scumbag a beating.
"Why are you here?"
"I got the news that Nanxi went to Shuiwan Village alone, and I'm worried that something might have happened to her."
"Who gave you the news?"
Fu Ciyan felt bitter, knowing that He Chao didn't trust him, so he had to explain:
"It was Nanxi's assistant. She said yesterday that she wanted to go to Shuiwan Village alone. The assistant couldn't persuade her, so she called me and asked me to come over just in case. But I couldn't contact her after this morning. I always feel like something happened."
He Chao clenched his fists and looked at Fu Ci Yan coldly.
Now is not the time to investigate why he is in contact with He Nanxi's assistant. The most urgent task is to rescue him.
There are some things that are difficult for him to do, after all, he is a public official, but it doesn’t matter to Fu Ci Yan.
After all, the Fu family is rich and well-connected, so even if he really did something, Fu Jingyao would save him.
Thinking of this, he did not hide it.
"Nanxi is missing."
"What? Missing?"
Fu Ciyan's voice changed: "Why did he disappear?"
He Chao explained the whole process, and Fu Ciyan's expression suddenly changed. He turned around firmly.
"Even if Shuiwan Village is turned upside down, I will definitely rescue her!"
