"Listen to Brother Dabao." When Shagen heard about Wild Boar Ridge, he felt a little scared and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
The two men were jogging and didn't notice the steep rocks on the side of the road, which kept colliding with the shaking sack.
Half an hour later, the two stopped, panting.
"We've finally passed Wild Boar Ridge. Brother Dabao, let's sit down and rest before we continue." Shagen panted. This mountain road was already difficult to walk on, and carrying a person on his back was definitely not going to be tiring.
Putting down the sack, the two men sat down on a rock by the roadside, took out their kettles and took a few big gulps of water.
"Brother Dabao, why is that woman so quiet?" Shagen looked at the sack in surprise. Did she fall asleep again? That woman was so lazy. This morning when he and Brother Dabao went to the trap, she was already asleep inside, unconscious. It was only a few hours now, and she'd already fallen asleep again. Luckily, she wasn't his wife, or he'd have spanked her with his shoe.
"Open the sack and give her some water," Lin Dabao said. There was no one in the deep mountains, so removing the cloth from the woman's mouth wouldn't matter; no one would hear her screams anyway.
Shagen nodded, stood up and opened the sack, "Ouch! My God!" He sat down on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Lin Dabao looked up.
"Brother Dabao, this woman's face is swollen like a ghost, it scared me." Sha Gen patted his chest with lingering fear.
Lin Dabao stood up and walked to Song Yiren. Seeing Song Yiren's appearance, he was also shocked. He reached out and touched under Song Yiren's nose. Seeing that she was still breathing, he felt relieved.
"You useless fellow! Look at how cowardly you are." He glared at Shagen fiercely. Song Yiren's face must have been hit by the rocks on the road. The road was full of steep rocks, so a few collisions were inevitable.
He took the rag out of Song Yiren's mouth, grabbed her chin with his hands and lifted it up, then put the kettle into her mouth and poured it out roughly.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Song Yiren woke up coughing. She turned her head away and coughed for a long time before she caught her breath. Thinking of her situation, tears fell uncontrollably. Her foot was already injured, and now it felt like she had been run over by a car. Her whole body was in pain.
Lin Dabao took out a piece of bread and stuffed it into Song Yiren's mouth. They hadn't given her anything to eat since morning. If she starved to death, all their efforts would be in vain.
After resting for a while, Lin Dabao tied the sack again, and he and Sha Gen carried Song Yiren and walked forward.
It was almost dawn when they finally arrived at Yousi Village.
The two of them arrived at the door of Li's house, put down the sack, and Lin Dabao went forward and knocked on the door, "Is Brother Li here?"
"Who is this so early in the morning?" After a while, a sleepy voice came from inside.
"Brother Li, I'm Lin Dabao from Baitian Village. I'm here to bring you something good." Lin Dabao shouted into the door. He had met Boss Li once before, otherwise he wouldn't have known he was going to buy a wife.
The door creaked open and Boss Li came out yawning. "What good stuff is that?" He looked past Lin Dabao at the sack on the ground.
"A woman." Lin Dabao laughed.
Boss Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted Lin Dabao on the shoulder with a smile, "Good brother, come in quickly." The three brothers had been worried about finding a wife. They went out several times but couldn't find one. Now they finally have a wife.
Lin Dabao smiled and nodded, then turned around and picked up the sack containing Song Yiren with Shagen and walked towards the house.
Li Laoda closed the door and shouted in the yard: "Second brother, third brother, get up quickly, we have wives now."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps in the house, and two young men in thin clothes ran out of the house. For them, nothing was more important than getting a wife.
"Brother, where is your wife?"
"Is my wife pretty?"
Boss Li pointed to the sack on the ground and said, "It's right inside."
Li Laoer and Li Laosan walked quickly forward and couldn't wait to open the sack. When they saw Song Yiren's bruised face, they were both shocked.
"Oh my god! This woman is so ugly."
"Yeah, it scared me."
"She used to be very beautiful, but we weren't paying attention on the road and accidentally hit her face with a rock. You'll know after the swelling goes down." Lin Dabao said with assurance.
"But this woman is a little thin. I'm afraid she won't be able to give birth easily. She's not worth much money." Boss Li frowned as he looked at Song Yiren.
"Brother Li, what you said is true. She is thin because she is poor. If you give her more food, she will gain weight," Lin Dabao said with a smile.
Boss Li exchanged glances with his two brothers and said, "Let me tell you, one hundred yuan, if you sell it to us, we will buy it." If he really didn't have any women, he would not spend a hundred yuan to buy such an ugly woman who he didn't know what she looked like.
"Two hundred. If you don't want it, I'll sell it to someone else." Lin Dabao held up two fingers and said. They had worked so hard to bring the person here, so he had to sell it for at least two hundred yuan. Otherwise, he might as well hunt some prey and sell it at the market.
"One hundred and fifty, no more," Li Laoer said. Now all he wanted was to get married and have someone to warm his bed.
"Two hundred!" Lin Dabao insisted.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the three Li brothers didn't say anything, Lin Dabao turned to Sha Gen and said, "Pick someone up and let's go somewhere else." He didn't believe that she could not be sold for less than two hundred yuan in this place where there was a shortage of women.
"Okay, okay, two hundred yuan." Seeing Lin Dabao about to leave, Li Laoda hurriedly said. He was a little thin, but it was better than nothing. Otherwise, they would have to wait a long time to get married.
Song Yiren shed tears silently, feeling desolate. Was it because she had done too many bad things in her past life that she had to return here and live such an inhuman life?
