Chapter 958 The Girl in the Mountains (13)



"Fooled?"

Su Man realized something, "Are you talking about Xiao Feng?"

Since Zhao Chunhua allowed Xiaofeng to test her, she would definitely let Xiaofeng deceive Chen Susu.

As expected, upon hearing the name Xiaofeng, Chen Susu immediately became enraged. "Don't mention her! If it weren't for her, I would have left this hell long ago. It's all because of her!"

It turned out that not long after Chen Susu arrived, she used Li Fuan to get some tranquilizers. She took them in front of Li Fuan every day, and then immediately vomited out the pills when no one was paying attention, dried them one by one, and stored them.

After saving enough, she did not act immediately, but waited quietly.

Tieshan Village is located in a remote area and is mostly barren mountains. The villagers have no other income except this not very fertile land, which is why no one is willing to marry here.

Anyone with relatives or connections had already moved to the town, leaving only a few villagers without any background living in this small mountain village the size of a palm.

Not only that, there is no school in the village. If you want to go to school, you need to travel a hundred kilometers to another big village with a school.

It is simply not realistic to travel back and forth, so if children in the village want to go to school, they not only have to pay tuition and textbook fees, but also have to stay in the village where the school is located.

The accumulated expenses are undoubtedly a further blow to a family that can only rely on barren mountains and thin fields.

Most families are reluctant to send their children to school, as it is not only expensive but also means there is one less labor force in the family.

Over time, it evolved into a vicious cycle. The villagers stopped studying and had no contact with the outside world. Generation after generation was trapped in this small mountain village by invisible chains, becoming increasingly isolated and backward.

In a place like this, wanting to contact the outside world is nothing short of a fantasy.

Chen Susu also collapsed at first, but hard work pays off and she soon came up with a solution.

Although the harvest in Tieshan Village was poor, there were still several acres of land where guava was grown.

The reason why Li Xiang's third uncle's family situation is better is because of this, and his family's one acre of land is among them.

Every autumn harvest, large trucks would come to the town to collect the produce, which could be sold for around a thousand yuan each time.

It may not seem like much, but it is a large amount in this village with a very low consumption level.

At that time, Chen Susu learned the date for harvesting guavas from Li Fuan, and planned to take advantage of the fact that the medicine would fall out that day and then hide in the car to escape.

She had planned this escape for a long time and was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several days.

Of course, she also did not forget Xiaofeng, her "good sister" who had been caring for her and comforting her since she arrived.

Chen Susu didn't know that the reason Xiaofeng often came to accompany her was because of her third aunt's instructions, and she treated Xiaofeng as her own.

But when she excitedly told Xiaofeng the news, Xiaofeng showed great resistance and advised her not to run away, saying that she would be beaten to death if she was caught.

Chen Susu didn't notice Xiaofeng's strange behavior and just thought that Xiaofeng was scared by the beating.

After all, in Chen Susu's worldview, it is impossible for anyone to stay here willingly.

So she tried her best to persuade Xiaofeng to go on the road with her, and they also agreed that after they ran away, they would come back to pick up Xiaofeng's Dabao.

With the hope of escape, Chen Susu had the energy to do anything and almost lived her life by counting the seconds.

During this time, she imagined countless possibilities, but the only thing she didn't expect was that Xiaofeng would actually betray her.

He tried his best to escape, but in return he was beaten and bedridden for half a month.

That day, they tied her hands like an animal and dragged her back in a bullock cart.

When she got home, there was not even a piece of intact skin and flesh on her back. She had to endure the beatings from her third uncle and aunt, and she almost died.

Later, Li Fuan stopped his uncle and asked someone to buy anti-inflammatory drugs from the town, which saved her life.

Thinking back on those sleepless nights due to pain, Chen Susu still felt the same way. She could even taste the blood in her mouth. She stared at Su Man, and it was as if she was looking through her at Xiao Feng.

"You accomplices! Executioners! You are just like them, beasts!"

"If it weren't for you, how could I become like this!"

Chen Susu collapsed and yelled, her voice lowering as she yelled, "Why, why do you treat me like this? I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home!"

Her voice became louder and louder. By the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably. Her tears mixed with blood and flowed into her messy hair.

Feeling her despair, Su Man felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She knew very well that because of Xiaofeng's deception, Chen Susu could no longer trust anyone and only wanted to die.

Rather than trust, keeping her alive is the most important thing right now.

Su Manlue closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "So, you are going to compromise now, right?"

"impossible!"

Chen Susu's emotions became agitated again. "I won't compromise. I would rather die than let them succeed!"

"So you plan to punish them with your own death?"

Su Man deliberately provoked her, "Do you think they would care if you died? Without you, there are still others. They just need to buy another one and they can still have children. But you can only be buried in this small mountain village and you can't leave until you die."

"Shut up! Stop talking, stop talking!"

Su Man's words shattered Chen Susu's last fantasy. She struggled violently, and even the bed was shaking.

Su Man lowered her head and looked at Chen Susu. "As long as you're alive, there's hope. If you're dead, there's nothing left. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but you can't not believe in yourself."
