"Which village are you from? How dare you come to our village and bully girls! You must have a death wish!!!"
"Let's go! Take them back to the village!"
"Call the police! Go call the police!"
"Should we have Ah Xue identify someone? Is it them? We're not sure we've arrested the wrong person, are we?"
"It's them! Who else could it be?"
So a bunch of people made a fuss, some called the police, and they caught all three hooligans and brought them to the village, tying them to the top of a bamboo stalk at the village entrance.
When the other villagers heard the news, they all gathered around.
At this point, Yuan Mengge was unaware of what had happened, and she rode her bicycle home.
After leaving the unit, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard someone mention a case in this company where a fifteen-year-old girl was raped and murdered at night.
Upon closer reflection, it seemed to be something her uncle had said. Once, when she visited her uncle's house, he mentioned that in a certain company, a girl was dragged into a bamboo forest and raped and murdered on the night of Li Xue'e's wedding.
Because the incident happened on the night of Li Xue'e's wedding, her uncle had a deep impression of it.
I heard that the girl went out to buy wine for her father that night, and she didn't come back until very late. Her family waited for a long time, but she didn't come home, so they asked her brother to go out and look for her.
They searched all night but couldn't find it. The body was finally discovered the next day by a cowherd in a bamboo forest.
It took the police half a month to find the murderer, but the three murderers had already fled and they were never caught.
Later, I heard that the murdered girl's brother left his hometown to track down the three murderers in order to avenge her.
Whether he caught the murderer or not is unknown, but all that is known is that he hasn't been home for many years.
Yuan Mengge completed a task that prevented the matter from escalating and saved the girl's life.
When she got home, it was already past 11 p.m., almost midnight.
From the direction of the girl's house, it's quite a distance to return to Zhulan Village, where the Yuan family lives—nearly ten kilometers.
When Yuan Mengge went back, she rode her bike slowly, instead of rushing like she had come.
So it took a while to get back.
After arriving home, everyone in the family went to sleep.
Yuan Pingping's room is in the inner room.
You have to go into the living room first, then walk through the living room to get into your own room.
There are two rooms on each side of the living room. The two rooms closest to the door are the room of Yuan Xiangyong and his wife, and the room on the other side is the bridal chamber of Yuan Dasheng.
The other two rooms against the back wall belong to Yuan Pingping and Yuan Shasha, respectively.
It looks something like this:
But Yuan Shasha is currently living at her fiancé's house, and she is not in that room, so it has been used as a storage room, filled with all sorts of things that she doesn't need for the time being but can't throw away.
There was no bed in the room, so Li Xue'e had to share a room with Yuan Pingping, while Yuan Dasheng slept on the cool bed in the living room.
Locals have large living rooms, but they don't buy expensive and large sofas or coffee tables. They just put a small bed on one side and two armchairs and a small coffee table on the other.
When getting married, the wedding table is placed in the middle of the living room.
Yuan Mengge stood in front of the living room door and pushed it open.
Sure enough, the door was bolted shut.
She had no choice but to move from outside the enclosure to her own room window and peer inside.
The light was on, and Li Xue'e was lying in bed reading.
He was obviously waiting for her to come back, which is why he hadn't gone to sleep.
"Sister Xue'e! Sister Xue'e~~" Yuan Mengge called softly into the room through the window.
Upon hearing her voice, Li Xue'e, who was on the bed, immediately sat up, looked towards the window, and moved closer.
"Open the gate for me," Yuan Mengge said to her.
Li Xue'e turned around and immediately tiptoed out of the room.
Yuan Mengge turned around and walked from her room to the front door.
Li Xue'e opened the door very gently and let her in.
After Yuan Mengge came in, she glanced at the bamboo bed in the living room and found that Yuan Dasheng was fast asleep on it.
The two of them tiptoed back to their room.
Li Xue'e then asked her softly, "Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Yuan Mengge smiled at her and said, "I went to rescue someone."
Upon hearing this, Li Xue'e looked at her in surprise: "Huh? Who did you go to save? What happened?"
Upon hearing that she was going to rescue someone, Li Xue'e's gossipy heart immediately stirred.
Yuan Mengge said, "At the karaoke bar, we overheard three guys discussing how they were going to do 'that' to a girl on their way home tonight. So we followed them..."
Of course, she made that up, just to make it sound more logical.
After listening, Li Xue'e didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Instead, she was concerned about the girl and asked, "How is that girl? Is she alright? Where are those men from?"
Yuan Mengge opened Yuan Pingping's closet, looking for pajamas as she answered, "She's fine, she was just touched a few times by those men... There's nothing seriously wrong, but she might be a little psychologically upset."
She took out her pajamas, closed the closet, and then said, "I don't know where those three men are from, but I tied them up on the side of the road. I wonder if that girl will bring her family to arrest them."
Hearing this, Li Xue'e felt some sympathy for the girl and said, "If word gets out that she's encountered something like this, her reputation will only get worse."
Yuan Mengge: "Maybe. But don't worry about others yet. Think about what you'll do in the future. Do you really want to live with that trashy drunkard outside? He'll beat you up all the time."
As she spoke, she grabbed her pajamas, opened the door, and went out to take a shower.
Upon hearing this, Li Xue'e sat on the bed, lost in thought with a worried expression.
Yuan Mengge quickly took a shower in the kitchen bathroom; it was winter and very cold at night.
She squatted down by the bathtub, quickly rubbing herself with a towel. After a few quick rubs, she wrung out the towel and wiped the water droplets off her body.
After getting dressed and returning to her room, she quickly crawled into Yuan Pingping's bed.
Then I chatted with my young mother.
If two girls sleep together, they definitely won't go to sleep that early.
Yuan Mengge asked her what time they left the bar.
Li Xue'e told her what happened in the bar after she left.
"After you left, the bar was quite lively. There was a guy who touched a girl's thigh and got beaten up by the man at the girl's table."
Two women got into a fight; apparently, one of them had drugged someone else's drink and was caught.
"You weren't there, you didn't see how fiercely those two women fought; they even overturned the table."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mengge said with some surprise, "That's a bit of a pity, I didn't get to see their performance~~"
