Chapter 362, Stop making noise, I'm thinking
Jing Wu kicked Butler Qiao, "Did you hear me? Go and call someone!"
Butler Qiao covered his chest and crawled, "Yes, yes, yes!"
He led people to stumble into the city, his feet were flying, afraid that if he was a step slower, Jing Wu's knife would swing down at him.
Xia Wanwan sat on the ground, frowning and looking around.
Although the people knew that she was a princess and knelt down to beg for forgiveness, she was sensitive and could still feel the strange eyes of the people around her.
It seemed that they were very reluctant to abandon their dignity and thoughts and kneel down to her.
Just because she was a girl.
Girls in Hezhou City were even deprived of the right to survive.
Moreover, would these people be willing to admit their mistakes to a girl like her?
Xia Wanwan felt very uncomfortable, so she simply sat on the ground and did not ask the people to stand up.
"Yuanbao, make a fire!"
She wanted to grill a fish.
When Yuanbao saw the small fish she took out from somewhere, his eyes lit up.
He tapped the ground with his fingertips, and a ball of spiritual fire ignited on the ground. He
then used Jingwu's sword to skewer the fish, and several people sat on the ground and grilled the fish.
The people:...
When they smelled the fragrance, they couldn't help but look up silently and swallowed their saliva.
But why are they still kneeling?
Is this princess really so arrogant?
"Princess, can you let us get up first?" A middle-aged woman asked quietly.
So many of them were kneeling, but the little princess was sitting on the ground grilling fish with peace of mind.
Can she eat it too?
"No, you have knelt to men all your life, and now you kneel to me, you can't stand it?" Xia Wanwan said disdainfully.
Jing Wu took over his sword handle and silently took on the job of grilling fish.
He was familiar with this.
He grilled fish for Yuanbao.
"We didn't kneel to men?" the woman raised her head.
"If we didn't kneel to men, why did we throw away all the female babies born in Hezhou City?" "
Are the girls not your flesh and blood?" "
Why does the resentment in the abandoned baby tower linger for a long time, and the souls of the girls are trapped there, unable to reincarnate forever? If this is not kneeling to men, then what is it?"
"As women, why do you deprive girls of their right to survive? Did you carry the baby for ten months and go through the gates of hell to give birth to the baby, just to drown her and throw her away?"
Xia Wanwan asked a long series of questions.
In the innocent face and tender voice, there was actually a hint of anger. The invisible anger made people feel even colder.
At this point,
the whole audience fell silent.
"We, we don't want to..." The woman's voice was obviously choked with sobs, her eyes were slightly wet, and she continued,
"We are also forced to do so. Women have to get married when they grow up, and they can't take care of us in our old age. Only if we have a son can our bloodline be passed on."
"In my husband's family, if we can't give birth to a son, we will be looked down upon."
"Before women get married, they are raised by their parents' family. After they get married, they are raised by their husband's family. If we can't give birth to a son, then we have no status at home. Princess, you are still young and don't understand our difficulties..."
As a mother, no one will not be sad when abandoning their own children.
But they have no choice.
It's okay to give birth to one daughter, but if five or six are all girls, how can ordinary people raise them at the same time? After
giving birth for most of their lives, if they don't have a son, their husband's family can still divorce them and remarry.
But what about them?
After being divorced, they lived a lifetime and broke down in health, and in the end they had nothing to rely on.
They couldn't even go back to their parents' home, and in the end no one would know when they died.
This is the sorrow of women.
Xia Wanwan was silent for a moment.
She couldn't eat the fragrant grilled fish at all, so Jing Wu could only give it all to Yuanbao.
"Princess, let us get up!"
"Sir, we didn't mean to offend the princess."
"Yes, sir, please plead for us."
The people said one after another. Among them, some were helpless, and some were moved.
But there was no one who regretted it!
And among the few people who were surrounded.
Xia Wanwan: "Don't make noise, I'm thinking."
Jing Wu: "Don't make noise, I'm grilling!"
Yuanbao: "Don't make noise, I'm not full!"
Fish: Don't make noise, I'm being grilled.
Gu Ming looked at them, then looked down at the grilled fish.
If he didn't say a word, he would seem very unsociable.
Finally, everyone's eyes turned to him, and he blushed and said,
"Don't make noise, you are all bullying me, an old man."
Xia Wanwan waved her hand, "You guys get up."
Anyway, it would be useless for her to say more now, these ideas have been deeply rooted in their minds.
Not to mention Hezhou, even the capital of Daxia, Jingcheng, which is not far away and is known as the holy land of enlightenment, still has the situation of favoring boys over girls.
However, the people in Jingcheng dare not do these things openly.
It is extremely embarrassing to say it out loud.
Those who can afford to raise them will not lose them.
Hezhou is not as wealthy as the capital, and losing girls is very common. The people should not blame each other.
If you want to save the baby girl, you must first save people's hearts.
Xia Wanwan sighed and waited for the people to stand up.
Then a woman in red came riding out of the city, looking very proud and out of tune with the gloomy atmosphere in the city.
She stopped her horse, walked through the crowd, and found Xia Wanwan sitting on the ground.
"Princess Ximing!"
Zhong Youyan stepped forward and squatted beside Xia Wanwan. There was no smile on her face at first, but the moment she saw Xia Wanwan, her smile suddenly became bright again.
"Sister Zhong." Xia Wanwan saw her, and the haze in her heart instantly dissipated. Ling Qianxiao said,
"Princess Ximing, can I hold you up?" Zhong Youyan asked with a smile.
Xia Wanwan nodded, stretched out her little hand, and let her hold her obediently.
Zhong Youyan picked up the little guy and stood up with an upright posture.
Following behind were Lord Qiao and several government officials who came in a hurry.
Lord Qiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and knelt down to greet Wan Wan, "I am late, and I let these blind people offend the princess. Please forgive me, Princess Ximing!"
"Humph." Xia Wan Wan turned her face away and ignored him.
Zhong Youyan coaxed her carefully, "I know everything about what happened just now. It's not Lord Qiao's fault. Hezhou City has always favored men over women. Successive officials have no way to deal with this. To be honest, I have been waiting for you in Hezhou City to come and blow up the tower with you!"
"Really?" Xia Wan Wan asked with a crooked face.
Zhong Youyan nodded, "Of course it's true. Ever since I came here, I have hated that tower, but I just haven't found the opportunity. I heard that you were coming, and I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Whether the government agrees or not, you have to take me with you!"
"You have experience in explosions, I will protect you with force."
"If the people stop us, we will turn this upside down and let the people of Hezhou see if women are capable!"
Hearing this.
Xia Wanwan's heart seemed to be ignited with flames, and she looked at Zhong Youyan with sparkling eyes.
Finally, she whispered in her ear and asked:
"How do you know I am the bomber in Beijing?"
