Chapter 592 Changjia Village 7
The Ugly Monarch's voice was exceptionally pleasant, gentle and clear, like the wind blowing through the woods on a summer day.
Even so, Changhua still did not let down her guard and asked cautiously: "What do you want me to do?"
I always feel like I'm bullying a child.
Ye Rou had a faint smile on her lips: "I'll pull you out, and you tell me about this village."
The little girl was smarter than she thought.
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl suddenly raised her head: "Who are you?"
Ye Rou raised her eyebrows when she heard this and supported her chin: "Don't worry, I won't do anything."
Chang Hua wished someone would burn down the village. The reason she asked this was because she was afraid that this ugly monster would do something out of the ordinary and implicate her.
But now she has no other choice.
My left leg felt weak on the ground and it was getting more and more painful.
Ye Rou watched the little girl walk towards her reluctantly, knowing that she had figured it out, so she didn't rush her and waited quietly for her to come closer.
Finally, Chang Hua walked in front of Ye Rou, raised his eyes to look at Ye Rou again, and then made up his mind. He raised his hand towards Ye Rou and raised his little finger under Ye Rou's gaze: "Pink!"
The little girl had a serious look on her face, and now she had some of the childishness that a child should have.
Ye Rou suppressed the smile on her lips, bent down and extended her hand, "Okay, pinky promise."
"Let's make a pinky promise and never change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be Da Huang!" Chang Hua hooked the ugly man's hand and swore forcefully.
Ye Rou interrupted: "Who is Da Huang?"
"The dog at the entrance of the village." Chang Hua looked up impatiently and met the ugly man's smiling eyes.
It's not disdain, disgust, or insult... it's just a pure smile.
Chang Hua's heart skipped a beat. She turned away and awkwardly stretched out her hand: "Pull me up."
Ye Rou's eyes swept across the child's red ears. Knowing that the little girl was shy, she stopped teasing her and reached out to pull the child out of the pit.
Chang Hua's vision suddenly rose, and then he stepped on solid ground.
Her eyes rolled around, and she turned around and ran away, holding the bamboo basket.
As he took a step forward, his collar tightened and he was grabbed from behind.
"Whoever turns into Da Huang, have you forgotten?" Ye Rou grabbed the child's collar.
"It would be so nice to be Huang." Chang Hua had long wanted to stop being a human being, so naturally she refused to keep her oath.
Ye Rou saw what the little girl was thinking and smiled slightly, saying, "I pulled you up, so I can naturally push you back. Kid, think it through."
Chang Hua gritted her teeth at the obvious threat, turning around and glaring at Ye Rou, "What on earth do you want to know?"
"Hmm..." Ye Rou first asked the question that concerned her the most: "Where have the women in this village gone?"
Chang Hua replied stiffly, "No."
"What?" Ye Rou didn't understand.
Although Chang Hua was impatient, she still explained: "There are no women in our village. Every once in a while, some older women will come from outside. They will stay if they get pregnant. After giving birth, Village Chief Chang will take them up the mountain."
"Take them up the mountain?" Ye Rou looked towards the top of the mountain. The lush green hilltop was hidden in the mist. In the dim light of the morning, it was all dark and gloomy. "What's on the mountain?"
"I don't know." Chang Hua's left leg couldn't hold her up any longer, cold sweat dripping into her eyes. She pinched her sleeve and rubbed her eyes fiercely. "Village Chief Chang never let us children go up the mountain. I also ran up secretly."
After Chang Hua finished speaking, she noticed that the ugly man didn't say anything. She raised her head and saw that there was no one in front of her.
When he thought of her talking to the air like a fool, he was about to scold her angrily, but he caught a glimpse of the ugly adult squatting in the grass, not knowing what he was doing.
Chang Hua didn't want to care about her, but she was curious and couldn't help but walk over. "What are you doing?"
Ye Rou stood up and slapped a large green mass in her palm on the child's left ankle. Then, when the child was not paying attention, she broke it with force!
"What are you doing..." Chang Hua almost bit her tongue in pain, and she didn't fall down by supporting herself on the ugly man's shoulders.
"Alright." Ye Rou clapped her hands and stood up. "Let's go."
The child blinked blankly, then tentatively stepped on the ground with his left foot. When it really didn't hurt, his eyes suddenly widened: "What did you do?"
Ye Rou said casually: "Bone straightening."
Chang Hua's eyes lost some of their vigilance. "Are you a doctor?"
Ye Rou nodded without hesitation.
Students in medical school are considered half doctors, so they are not fooling children.
Chang Hua didn't believe it, "You're kidding, there's no doctor who looks like you."
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Ye Rou brought the topic back and continued to ask about things in the village.
But Chang Hua knew very little.
After Chang Hua's mother ran away, Village Chief Chang was furious.
From then on, men in the village were not allowed to marry. When they reached a certain age, they would go up the mountain to choose a wife. The chosen one would be carried down the mountain and taken home. After a month, if she got pregnant, they would keep the woman. If not, they would carry her back up the mountain.
The children born are taken care of by the village and live in a two-story building next to the village chief's house.
The villagers don’t care about Changhua and his group of children who have parents.
Ye Rou lowered her eyes to look at the child who couldn't reach her chest, "Why did you say last night that there was no future?"
Chang Hua was startled.
"How could you..."
Ye Rou kindly explained to her: "I heard it."
Chang Hua's eyes were no longer vigilant, but instead contained some emotions that Ye Rou could not understand, like admiration?
In short, the child's tone became much softer and he no longer acted like a hedgehog.
"All the girls older than me in the village have been sold." The child said the extremely horrifying fact in a calm tone.
Ye Rou's face turned cold.
Chang Hua lowered her head, unaware of what was happening, and continued, "They thought they were going out to live a good life, but I knew they were being sold to be wives."
"I'll be ten years old soon." Chang Hua's grip on the bamboo basket suddenly tightened.
There are more and more mysteries in Changjia Village.
Seeing the child's sad face, thinking of the child's father that Zhao Fengying said often beat her, Ye Rou
Ye Rou thought of the child's father whom she had heard from Zhao Fengying, and raised her hand to rub the child's head.
Chang Hua was caught off guard when her head was pressed down. She was frightened and felt like a cat with its neck grabbed. She dared not move.
When she first realized that Ye Rou had no ill intentions and felt very comfortable being rubbed, her body relaxed and she unconsciously moved closer to Ye Rou.
The fragrance of the ugly sister lingered at the tip of her nose. It was like the scent of grass that she liked, but without the earthy smell. It smelled like a quilt that had been exposed to the sun, warm and cozy.
Like a mother...
Chang Hua felt a pang in her nose and suddenly lowered her head to avoid Ye Rou's hand.
Seeing her dodge, Ye Rou did not chase after her. She said in a natural tone, "It's almost dawn, let's go down the mountain."
Chang Hua walked silently beside the ugly sister. As they got closer and closer to the village, she suddenly stopped and raised her little face: "What's your name?"
"Ye Rou."
The child stared at Ye Rou and said, "I remember it."
She paused, the tips of her ears red: "You can call me Xiaohua."
"Okay, Xiaohua." Ye Rou agreed naturally. She glanced at the bamboo basket in the child's hand and noticed that the color of the mushrooms in the basket was not right.
This is obviously a poisonous mushroom...
Ye Rou thought the child didn't know and pointed at the bamboo basket: "These are poisonous mushrooms, they can't be eaten."
"I know."
After saying this, Chang Hua pursed her lips and looked at him with a complicated expression.
Ye Rou frowned and was about to ask something when the child suddenly ran away with the bamboo basket.
"Goodbye, sister."
The sound of farewell was carried by the wind into Ye Rou's ears, very soft...
Ye Rou sensed something was wrong and tried to catch up with the child, but unfortunately she was not familiar with the terrain of the village and lost him after many twists and turns.
I didn't know where I was running to, but when I looked up, I was in the small square of Changjia Village. A man was hanging by a rope, standing on a bench covered in broken glass, his feet covered in blood...
The sturdy man picked up a stick full of glass fragments and hit the hanging man's lower abdomen with it!
The man howled in pain, his clothes around his abdomen soaked in blood.
