Chapter 202: Death and Loss of Humanity
She searched heartbrokenly at home but could not find any information. Her mother and father were looking into the distance and calling for her to come back.
The farther away from home you are, the more you are priced, like livestock. At home, you are the apple of their eye, but outside, you are just a lowly slave in their eyes.
Crying your heart out only gets you a beating, a few taels of silver ruins your life, and you buy a young girl's youth, but you will never see her smile again.
Spring is short, spring is short. Spring is imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Mountains with iron chains. It cannot escape or leave. Each flower withers and becomes a servant of another family.
It's not just her, but thousands and thousands of other women. Before her, countless women have been buried here. It has even become a unique industrial chain, with people regularly sending women here at a clearly marked price.
Of course, there are also people who are deliberately sold to human traffickers by their families, who ruin their lives in exchange for a few taels of silver.
Most of those who refused were chained for a few years. After giving birth to their children, they accepted their fate, became hardworking and even assimilated into the same category.
They want others to suffer the same hardships as they have suffered, and naturally they cannot bear to see others do better than them. They will only feel a little happy when they see them become like themselves, which becomes a little comfort in their sad lives.
Only when they see others become like themselves, become mindless, become enslaved bodies, and become reproductive machines, will they feel that it is really good. It turns out that not only they will become like this, but everyone will become like this.
Where would I get out? Where would I go after I got out? Which way would I go? Which direction would I take to get home? And if I ran away and was caught again, I would probably be beaten half to death.
If you still refuse to surrender, the consequences will probably be even worse. They will say that you are disobedient, beat you to a pulp, or even kill you, and then throw you into a mass grave, leaving you there forever.
"After being bought by his family, they treated me as a child bride. I pretended to be obedient, getting up early and going to bed late every day, washing clothes, cooking, fetching water and chopping wood. Of course, they sent people to keep an eye on me for the first few years, firstly because they were afraid I would run away, and secondly because they were afraid I would be lazy."
"Alian came in the third year after I came. She was bought for three taels of silver. Because we shared the same suffering, we became like sisters."
"She was naturally very stubborn at the beginning, with wounds all over her body. I would apply medicine to her after she was beaten, secretly leave some food for her when I cooked, and when she wanted to commit suicide, I would hold her hand and tell her to live well."
Live on, we will definitely get out in the future, A-Lian, life is the most important thing no matter what, Dad and Mom are still waiting for us.
After we get out, we will expose their misdeeds to the world and make sure they receive real punishment!
"She and I depend on each other for survival, and we are each other's only comfort in life. She would tell me many interesting stories. From her words, I can tell that she used to be extremely pampered at home, never having to do housework, but here she is, being beaten, scolded, and starved..."
They agreed to go out together and never give up on each other, but most things in the world go against one's wishes.
A Yuan's eyes were suddenly filled with resentment, and a red ghostly aura rose from his body. His eyes were full of hatred, as if he could tear someone apart and eat them in the next second.
"I was murdered. When I was a young woman of marriage, that beast forced his sons to rape me. I refused! In order to force me to compromise, they put a rope around my neck. When I resisted fiercely, they lost control and strangled me to death."
"them……"
Yan Weiwan murmured, tugging at his master's sleeve tightly, with a rather ugly expression on his face.
Fear, shock, and anger!
A Yuan was talking about them, which meant that there was more than one person who wanted to do something wrong.
"Yes, after they found out I was dead, they fabricated a story that I died of illness, hoping to burn away their sins! But A-Lian stopped them."
When she mentioned A-Lian, her tone softened unusually, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.
"At that time, I was already in a ghost state. I saw my own corpse, the emaciated body with a sallow complexion."
She still remembered how beautiful she used to be. How could she be tortured into this state now? She couldn't even recognize herself. She couldn't recognize herself anymore.
It's changed...it's changed. What a twist of fate. Why are they always the ones with the worst fate? Why? They clearly have warm homes!
"I saw A-Lian kneeling there, begging those beasts to leave my body behind, otherwise she would die too."
A-Lian pointed the scissors at her neck, with a determination in her eyes that he had never seen before.
A-Lian called her "A-Sister", so naturally she accepted her as her sister from the bottom of her heart, and she also wanted to keep her body and let her rest in peace.
The group of men cursed their bad luck and compromised in order to prevent their family from losing another laborer and having no one to wash clothes, cook, fetch water or chop wood.
A Lian was also raised as a child bride, but because of A Yuan's previous experience, those men let her go for the time being.
After threatening A-Lian not to tell anyone, they asked A-Lian to carry the body away and dispose of it.
"A-Lian is so thin. Normally, she couldn't carry much firewood. I would quietly ask her to carry less, but that day, she carried me for a long time, finding a relatively flat spot surrounded by flowers and plants... She fell countless times, but she gritted her teeth and stood up."
That day, A-Lian didn't cry, not even a single tear shed.
She just focused on digging the hole, carefully placed her sister's body in it, and then buried it.
Looking at the graves around her, A-Lian murmured.
"Sister, you shouldn't be alone anymore, right? I wanted to come down and accompany you, but you kept telling me to live well... Sister, Sister."
"Sister Yuan... A Yuan..."
She murmured softly, and A Yuan responded to her call beside her, but A Lian could no longer hear her.
"Later, A-Lian would always go up the mountain to chop firewood, and I would follow her and accompany her for a while. I was worried about her, so I didn't want to go into reincarnation. Fortunately, no Ox-Headed or Horse-Faced Demon came to take me away..."
A Yuan laughed at herself, then hugged A Lian's clothes and fell into self-blame.
"But I still hate myself for being so weak. I couldn't protect her. I watched helplessly as she was pushed off the cliff and put into a coffin. I don't know where she was taken..."
What is humanity in the face of money? And what's more, a life this insignificant! They targeted A-Lian and pushed her off a cliff, leaving her to die!
"She was pushed down! She didn't fall off the cliff by accident! She had walked for so many years, how could she have fallen? They were just looking for an excuse to harm her!"
