Chapter 587 Changjia Village 2
“Beep, beep, beep!”
"Changjiacun Station, here we are!"
"What's that sound?"
“It’s a bus.”
“A bus comes to this village every two days.”
The police officers who came with Cheng Gang were all good hands and hid skillfully in the woods.
Jiang Chenzang's position was slightly higher, allowing him to take in the scene below.
The bus stopped at the entrance of the village and two people got off.
In the front was a middle-aged man and woman, each holding a baby girl in their arms.
The next person to come down was an old lady, holding tightly the arm of a hunched-over woman whose face could not be seen clearly.
The western person seemed to know each other and was chatting.
I was too far away to hear what they were talking about.
Cheng Gang approached Jiang Chen and saw him staring at the people below with a frown on his face. He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from the hunched woman and said in a deep voice, "It's okay."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cheng Gang didn't ask any more questions and said, "The child held by the middle-aged man and woman was abducted."
Hearing his certainty, Meng Guan grabbed the telescope from Wang Honghong's hand, looked down, and wondered, "How did you see that?"
Monkey came over to explain, "People in this kind of village usually don't raise girls. Look at those two little girls. They're fair and tender, and the clothes they wear are made of fine materials. They must be newly abducted children."
Meng Guan focused his gaze on the two children through the telescope, listening to the monkey speak and nodding.
"really."
“Eh—”
Wang Honghong: "What's wrong?"
Meng Guan: "They have to pay to enter the village."
"Do I have to pay to enter my own village?" Gao Ming, who had been particularly silent since seeing the police, couldn't suppress his curiosity and came over.
Meng Guan looked carefully and saw that the middle-aged man and woman holding the child were stopped by two strong men with dark faces. He didn't know what they said. The middle-aged man and woman discussed it for a while, and finally paid the money reluctantly.
The dark-faced, sturdy man nodded before making way for the two men to pass.
Then the old lady walking behind pulled the hunched woman forward.
The two dark-faced, sturdy men seemed to know the old lady, and they did not treat her with the same disrespect as they did the middle-aged men and women.
The most important thing is that this old lady doesn’t have to pay.
But the dark-faced, sturdy man didn't recognize the woman the old woman was holding, so he stopped her and asked the woman to raise her face to look.
Meng Guan was also curious about the woman's appearance and looked at her intently.
The old lady patted the woman's arm, and the hunchbacked woman slowly raised her head.
Her hair fell to the sides, revealing her face.
Meng Guan gasped and the telescope fell to the ground with a "bang".
"What's wrong?"
"Oh my god—" Meng Guan patted his frightened heart, swept away his usual calmness, and cursed a lot of words that would not pass the review.
“It’s so ugly!”
Not only him, but also Chang Gang and Chang Tie who were guarding the village felt that they had suffered an unprecedented critical blow.
The woman in front of me was so ugly that it was shocking.
The middle-aged man and woman, who were curious about how much money they had to pay to enter the village, did not leave. After seeing the young woman's face, the middle-aged man took two steps back in fright.
The middle-aged woman tilted her head and bent over, "Ugh—"
Even the girl who was held in the arms of the two men and was threatened not to cry, burst into tears at the top of her lungs after seeing the hunchbacked woman's face.
The village entrance suddenly became lively.
Chang Gang asked with difficulty: "Aunt Zhao, what's going on with her..."
Zhao Fengying sighed, pulled the woman over, and covered her face. "She was beaten by her man. She's no longer a human being."
"Her parents, who are my second uncle, were worried that she would be beaten to death. It happened that I was back in the village to visit my old man's grave, so they asked me to bring her out to relax."
"We've already seen the people. Can we come in?" Zhao Fengying put her hands on her hips and glared at the two brothers Chang Gang and Chang Tie impatiently.
"Auntie, look at what you said. We two brothers don't dare to stop you."
The two brothers laughed and made way.
Seeing that the old woman came in without paying, the middle-aged man and woman started to yell in dissatisfaction.
"Why can she enter without paying?"
"Just because all the kids in this village grew up drinking my milk!" Zhao Fengying shouted back with her hands on her hips, her voice no lower than his.
The two brothers, Chang Gang and Chang Tie, glared at the middle-aged man and woman. "If you want to go in, shut up. If you don't want to go in, take the money and leave!"
The middle-aged man and woman immediately fell silent. They grumbled, "We originally agreed to pay the monthly membership fee, and then we wouldn't have to pay once we entered the house. Now you're going back on your word..."
The two of them left, muttering and complaining in low voices.
Only the hunched woman heard it.
Membership fee?
She raised her head slightly, took Zhao Fengying's hand, and walked in tremblingly.
"Comrade Ye, we agreed that it will be three days. You must leave the village when the time is up." Zhao Fengying said in a low voice.
The hunchbacked woman, Ye Rou, nodded.
Her current appearance and voice are extremely inconsistent, so it is best not to speak if possible.
Zhao Fengying sighed. She didn't want to make this trip at first.
But she couldn't refuse Ding Shulan's request.
She worked as a nanny for Ding Shulan, and her two sons were able to join the army thanks to Political Commissar Zhang. After demobilization, they went to work in factories and got stable jobs. Because they did a good job, they were rated as labor activists and were allocated houses this year.
The good life of their family was brought to them by Ding Shulan's family. Ding Shulan asked her to bring someone back to the village, and Zhao Fengying had to agree.
Now she is the only one who returns to the village and will not be bullied by these guys.
Ye Rou walked with difficulty, hunched over as she walked beside Aunt Zhao, secretly observing the village along the way.
This village is interesting, built at the pass of a mountain.
The entrance to the village is the mountain pass, and further in are the mountains.
It was summer, the mountains were lush and green, and the narrow path was winding up, with no end in sight. Light gray clouds covered the sky, making it particularly depressing.
Ye Rou tilted her head.
“Ding-dong—”
"Bang!"
Is this someone mining?
Ye Rou stared at the mountain in front of her and could barely hear the sound coming from the west side of the mountain.
There were very few people in the village even in broad daylight. I walked for half a day but didn't see anyone.
Could it be that they all went to the back mountain to mine?
Zhao Fengying knew that Ye Roulai came to collect information, so she pretended to chat with her and told her about the village.
"Girl, look, this is the village where your uncle grew up. This village is so poor. There's no land nearby, so you can't grow anything. There's no guarantee of a harvest, whether it's drought or flood. In order to support my family, your uncle took all the men in the village out to work."
"Your uncle can't read and has no education, so he can only do the hardest and most tiring work, such as road construction, house building, and dredging pits..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Fengying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with emotion.
Ye Rou patted her hands and scanned the village environment.
It is true that there is not much land near the village. The village is built on the mountain and there are very few flat areas. It is difficult for the whole village to make a living by farming.
The middle-aged man and woman walking in front of Ye Rou did not stop and continued up the mountain along the narrow path.
On the bus, Ye Rou discovered that the middle-aged man and woman were kidnappers, and the children in their arms were kidnapped.
Ye Rou signaled Zhao Fengying to follow the middle-aged man and woman.
Suddenly, two young men appeared from nowhere.
He was thin, had a ruffian smile, wore leather shoes and tight pants, and looked very unruly.
They blocked the way, laughing and greeting each other.
"Grandma Zhao, why are you back?"
