Chapter 166 Quick, save Xiaohua!
However, this mindset is even more pronounced among ordinary people. In particularly poor times or during famines, the first person to starve to death is often a girl in the family.
"Grandma, your parents are still suffering in hell because they committed murder. This is what they deserve, a form of retribution. Don't worry about it. You have accumulated merit, so you can be reborn into a good family. How about I help you pass on to a better future?"
"Can she be saved from this fate?" The old woman's eyes glazed over. Could she really be saved from this fate? Could she escape this pitiful destiny?
At this moment, Zhang Tongshou, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but ask, "Great-Grandma, we've been dreaming about a little girl for the past two weeks. She's crying so pitifully. Is this related to you?"
The old lady's pupils contracted, she slapped her forehead, and her face suddenly changed. "I almost forgot about this! Xiaohua, Xiaohua, she hasn't come for several days. Something must have happened to her. You must go and save her! You must go and save her!"
Although they didn't know who Xiaohua was or why they wanted to save her, seeing how anxious the old lady was, Yu Xiaoluo didn't say much. "Okay, Grandma, take us to save her."
So the group followed the old lady. On the way, Zhang Houwen couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, who is this Xiaohua? How do you know her? Is she the girl who appeared in our dreams?"
"Oh, I just want you to save her. I'm fine, but she's still so young. Her fate is so similar to mine. I didn't know that such a tragedy could still happen in modern society."
“I found her by my own grave. She was beaten and covered in bruises and had passed out. Her father and stepmother probably thought she was dead, so they just threw her on this mountain and buried her in a shallow hole. Half of her head was sticking out of the hole. I saw that she was still breathing, so I rescued her.”
"This little girl was so thin and weak, and her breath and yang energy were also very weak, so she could see me. I was also very lonely at the time, and I really liked this girl. From then on, we became good friends. I told her where to find wild grass to eat and where to find water to drink, and she was very happy. Finally, she didn't have to live a life of hunger and being beaten and scolded every day."
“We had a very happy time, but she couldn’t live on this mountain forever. There are many graves on this mountain, and the yin energy is heavy. I was afraid that it would be bad for her health in the long run. But she had nowhere else to go, so I suggested that she go to her uncle’s house, but her aunt sent her back. They couldn’t even support their own children, so they didn’t want to take care of her at all. After she got home, her stepmother beat her up, saying that she was hard-hearted.”
"Xiaohua is living a life of working herself to the bone, sometimes starving, eating moldy food, and recently she's had a fever again—I'm very worried, so I appeared in your dream, hoping you can save her, take her home, and nurse her back to health—"
Everyone finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that Xiaohua is a new friend of the old lady, and they share the same fate.
Zhuo Fan gritted his teeth as he listened, "These inhuman bastards don't deserve to be parents at all."
Led by the old lady, they arrived at the door of a house with lights on. The house didn't look too dilapidated; it was just average, and the conditions shouldn't be too bad.
The courtyard gate was half open, and the sounds of beatings and cursing, along with the faint cries of a little girl, could be heard from inside.
Hearing the crying, the old lady was both happy and angry. "Xiaohua is still alive! She's still alive! It's just that she's been bullied again."
In a side storage room, they saw a man and a woman punching and kicking a thin little girl. The man said, "Damn it, how come she's so tough? We can't kill her! Damn it, if she doesn't die today, I won't believe it!"
"She survived being buried last time; this little bitch is really tough."
The two men were swearing constantly, but Bao Shuoyu calmly turned on his phone and started recording, capturing the entire scene.
Well, the evidence of attempted murder and child abuse came out so quickly.
As a modern person, he is becoming increasingly legally conscious.
Zhuo Fan couldn't take it anymore. He rushed over and kicked the couple away several times, yelling, "Are you even human? How old is she? How could you mistreat her like this!"
He roared at the man, "She's your own daughter! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, you're worse than animals!"
The man was startled to see the group of people suddenly appear, but he still shouted defiantly, "Who are you? You think you're in the right to trespass? Get out of here! Or I'll call the police!"
"Report it now, report it immediately!"
The man picked up his phone but hesitated. Bao Shuoyu laughed and said, "If you won't report it, I will."
After saying that, he dialed the police.
The couple exchanged a glance, looking somewhat guilty. The woman said, "It's only natural for us to discipline our own children. What's there to be afraid of?"
The old lady ran over to pick up Xiaohua, but she couldn't touch her. She sobbed, "I'm sorry, Xiaohua, I'm not able to protect you! Grandma is useless."
Zhang Tietou and Zhang Tongshou quickly picked up the child. Seeing the new and old wounds on the child's body, Zhang Tietou flew into a rage, placed the child in Zhang Tongshou's arms, and unleashed a torrent of abuse at the man, yelling, "Damn it, you think you're so tough! You beast, worse than a pig or a dog!"
The man was beaten so badly he couldn't fight back. "You're hitting people! You lawless thugs! I'm suing you!"
"Sue me, fucking sue you two bastards!"
The noise alerted the nearby villagers, who all gathered around to watch the spectacle. Everyone pointed and cheered, saying, "Good riddance!"
A little while later, the police arrived. The lead officer recognized Yu Xiaoluo and asked, "It's Master Yu! What brings you here?"
"You didn't know about this child abuse?"
“We know, we know. The villagers have reported it, but it’s no use. They apologized very well and said they would never hit the children again, but they started hitting them again. There’s nothing we can do.”
Zhang Houwen said, "Officer, we'll take this child back for proper treatment. We'll adopt him. This despicable couple must go to jail. They're suspected of attempted murder and child abuse. We'll hire the best lawyers to make sure they spend the rest of their lives in jail!"
The police officer chuckled and said, "Good, good, it's good that someone will adopt this child. We can just complete the paperwork later."
Then he looked at the couple and said sternly, "Take them away!"
The couple continued to argue, "This child stole something from someone else's house, so what's wrong with us teaching her a lesson? Can't we even discipline our own child?"
