Although the policy of freedom of marriage and love had been issued long ago, at that time, there were few people in the village who could read, and illiteracy was even more rampant! Let alone any legal awareness?
Add to that the continuation of feudal remnants such as parental orders and preference for sons over daughters, and it's impossible to change them in a short time!
Besides, the parties involved in this kind of thing are mostly parents and siblings. Even if the police and the Women's Federation come, they usually just try to mediate the internal family conflict. Once they leave, they can do whatever they want! What can you do to them?
Not only that, as the weaker party in the family, if a woman dares to report the crime, she will inevitably suffer physical pain afterwards and it will be difficult to change her original fate!
The girl was frightened by Su Jin's serious expression and trembled! But this was the chance to escape that she had fought so hard for, she couldn't just give up! Her eyes were anxious and her speech speed increased a lot.
"No! I'm an orphan and have nothing to do with them!
They are asking me to marry someone out of bad intentions! They are human traffickers, they have deceived many people and sold them to the other side. They are simply demons! Please, please take me away! I don’t want to be with them!
The girl turned her head and glanced back, then turned back and grabbed Su Jin's arm tightly, her eyes panicking, "Please believe me! They will catch up soon, it will be too late if we are late!"
Su Jin had felt sympathy for her since he heard that she was an orphan, and when he heard her talk about human trafficking, his eyes became fierce!
Although he has only been here for a few days, he has already gained a general understanding of the situation here!
This place is only separated from the neighboring country by a line. It has a special geographical location and complex terrain. Recently, due to the frequent provocations from neighboring countries, chaos has occurred frequently, and criminals have had an opportunity to take advantage!
They exploited the chaos in the border areas and secretly set up covert passages, deceiving or kidnapping many border residents and smuggling them across the border for sale! Their methods were unscrupulous!
“Get in the car!”
Su Jin didn't hesitate any longer! These bandits were extremely vicious and numerous! He was now alone with two men, and the safety of his younger sister and second brother had to be prioritized. He wasn't suited to fighting alone.
Seeing Su Jin give in, the girl staggered towards the back door of the car.
Lan Guoer had already heard roughly what was going on in the back seat. Seeing her stumbling over, she opened the back door for her.
As the girl settled into the back of the car, Su Jin started the car again. He knew the situation was urgent, so he stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed forward.
As expected, just after they walked a hundred meters, a group of bandits rushed down the mountain behind the car, holding sticks and weapons, cursing and looking fierce at their car.
Behind the car, Lan Guoer looked at the girl who was soaking wet. She didn't know if she was cold or if she hadn't recovered from the tension just now. Her thin and slender body was trembling slightly.
Lan Guoer took out a clean towel and a long gown from her bag and handed them to her, "Wipe off the water on your body and put it on! Be careful not to catch a cold."
This was the second time Long Xiangling had heard such a friendly voice since her house was bombed!
Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. She took the towel from Lan Guoer's hand, but did not take the clothes. She choked and said in a low voice, "I am dirty, and I can't dirty such a nice dress of yours."
Lan Guoer looked at her awkward and cautious appearance, waved her hands, spread out the clothes, and draped them directly on her shoulders.
"Clothes are not as important as your body! Look, your clothes are wet now, so you can wear them without worry!"
Long Xiangling didn't expect her to do this suddenly, and she was still a little dazed looking at the clothes on her shoulders.
Then, she didn't know what she was thinking about, but she suddenly covered her face with a towel and sobbed softly.
This sudden change made Lan Guoer feel a little helpless for a moment!
"You, what's your name? Where do you live? How about we send you home first?" After thinking for a moment, Lan Guoer asked.
Long Xiangling finally stopped crying. She took the towel off her face, sobbed twice, and replied,
"My name is Long Xiangling, and I don't have a home anymore! A few days ago, my house was bombed, and my parents, brothers, and sisters are all gone!"
Lan Guoer: “…” What a poor girl!
"Long Xiangling!" Lan Guoer chewed on the name and felt that it had a scholarly connotation. "Then how did you fall into the hands of those people?" she continued to ask.
Long Xiangling lowered her head, and her slender, curled-up body looked a little lonely.
"After my home was bombed, I lived in a refugee camp for two days. I knew this wasn't going to work, so I thought of an uncle in the village next door and decided to go and stay with him.
But when I arrived at the village, I found that my uncle and his family were gone!
A woman who lived in my uncle's house told me that my uncle and his family had gone out to make a lot of money, and that they were helping him look after the house. If I had nowhere else to go, I could stay. After all, it was my uncle's house.
I really had nowhere else to go, so I stayed that day.
In the evening, the woman's husband and son came back. Her son was in his twenties and looked at me strangely. I guessed what he was thinking, but I didn't like him.
After dinner, the woman came to my room and told me that her son had taken a fancy to me and wanted to marry me! She also said that for someone like me who had no one to rely on, marrying a man as soon as possible was the only way out.
I was scared of living alone at the time, and thought what she said made some sense, but I didn't reply to her immediately. I just said I would think about it carefully.
That night, I had a stomachache and went to the bathroom. Passing by the couple's room, I overheard their conversation. It was then that I realized they weren't family at all! And the son they were talking about was actually a human trafficker!
He wanted to marry me, but actually he knew that I was his uncle's niece, and he wanted to control me. She used the witchcraft of our Long family to work for them!
When I heard it, I wanted to escape immediately, but I didn't expect that the door was locked, which alarmed them.
Later, they locked me up, didn't give me food or water, and even tried to rape me. It was only because I threatened to commit suicide that they failed!
Fortunately, last night, a coral reef snake crawled into the room where I was imprisoned, and I secretly took its venom.
Today, I pretended to be friendly with them, and at lunch, I took the opportunity to poison the food, and that's how I escaped!"
......
The people in the car were shocked when they heard this!
"Can you really raise a 盅? Is your Long family's 盅 technique very powerful?" Su Yan asked curiously.
Because they saved her, Long Xiangling instinctively let down her guard against them. She spoke truthfully,
"My father has been in our lineage since he was young. He is the most skilled and talented in the art of war."
