Sister Hong stood beside Bai Tiantian like a servant and said, "This is Miss Bai, the Saint of Zhou Village. She will give a lecture to everyone today."

Bai Tiantian looked around the room, and when she saw Bai Qingqing, her eyes instantly became excited.

Bai Qingqing is not dead, doesn’t that mean the captain is also fine? He came to save her.

Seeing that Bai Tiantian looked a little excited for some reason, Sister Hong pinched her from behind and said without a smile, "Saint, let's start."

Bai Qingqing waited boredly, looking at Bai Tiantian with interest, wanting to listen to the so-called class.

Since arriving in Zhoucun, Bai Tiantian has been separated from the villagers and Shen Mingxuan and others, living under surveillance every day. She was only brought out to give lectures today, and if she doesn't do well, she will be locked up again.

"Hello everyone, I'm Bai Tiantian, and today I'm going to teach you about women's virtues."

When Bai Qingqing heard the word "female virtue", she was speechless.

No wonder she was scolded by her aunt that day even though she was only wearing the most ordinary sports suit. If she dared to talk back, she would probably have been taught a lesson.

Is this the custom and culture of Zhoucun?

Bai Tiantian was probably forced into this, and she preached in a loud voice: Men are the sky, women are the earth.

Women must never think of being superior to men. No woman can be a strong woman, and no strong woman has ever had a good ending from ancient times to the present.

Bai Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly, guessing that the women in the village had been brainwashed in this way, so they obeyed the men's words.

Except for her, all the women in the room were fascinated by what was said and some even followed suit and shouted.

If your husband hits you, you cannot fight back. You should reflect on whether you have done something wrong. Trying to change men is a heinous crime and you will go to hell.

If you don't learn the culture of women's virtues, your ancestors will punish you and you will get an incurable disease.

It is a sin to be beautiful, and it is even more sinful to spend time on dressing up. A woman should dress simply to please men. No matter how her husband treats her, it is for her own good.

A woman's value is to get married, so she must not have contact with men outside of marriage, otherwise she will be ruined.

When you see your elders, you should bow your head and greet them. When your elders are talking to you, you should kneel down and listen. You should do whatever your parents ask you to do. If you disrespect your parents, you will get a terminal illness and die.

Bai Qingqing felt physically uncomfortable after listening to this. Although Bai Tiantian was just a tool, maybe she had a kind of Madonna aura around her. The women in the room were like crazy, crying and telling her about their mistakes.

They would kneel down and admit their mistakes to their husbands and be willing to give everything for them.

Bai Qingqing's eyes flickered, and she suddenly stood up and climbed onto the table, shouting, "Saint! You are absolutely right!"

The emotional women in the room were startled and looked at her one after another. Bai Tiantian's pupils were slightly startled. She thought that Bai Qingqing was also deceived and showed an anxious look.

Bai Qingqing jumped down from the table, ran quickly to Bai Tiantian, held her hand, and said sincerely: "Saint, after listening to your words, I suddenly understand."

Sister Hong, who was standing not far away, changed her expression slightly, trying to figure out whether she was acting or was really brainwashed.

"Sister Hong." She looked at the lady next to her and said, "I want to get married."

Sister Hong: “?”

Bai Qingqing said excitedly: "I just want to find someone to marry now, to work like a slave for him, to let him beat me and scold me, and if he can beat me to death, that would be my blessing."

Bai Tiantian was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but say: "Qingqing..."

"Don't stand in my way!" Bai Qingqing looked like she was sacrificing herself for female virtue, with pain in her eyes. "I know that being beautiful is a sin, and I won't feel at ease if I'm not punished."

“???” It sounds a little weird.

Bai Qingqing grabbed Sister Hong and shook her vigorously, shouting, "Sister Hong, please choose a man for me. I want to get married soon. Let him punish me!"

The woman in the room was awakened from her confused mind by her crazy look and didn't understand why she suddenly went crazy.

Sister Hong was also confused by her noise and tried to stop her, "Wait..."

"I can't wait!" Bai Qingqing raised her voice in anger: "I can't wait even a moment!"

She looked at the frightened women and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Don't you want to be beaten to death by men?!"

After hearing this, the women took a few steps back in fear. A normal person would not want to be beaten to death. She must be crazy.

"That's enough!" Sister Hong shouted, staring at Bai Qingqing with a sullen face, "You are deliberately making trouble!"

Bai Qingqing looked wronged, tears welling up in her eyes: "Sister Hong, how can you say that to me? Didn't you say that men are the most important thing for you, and that you can only achieve success if you are beaten and scolded by them?"

"I want to find a man to beat me and scold me. Am I wrong? Tell me, what's wrong with me?" She looked at everyone.

Sister Hong was speechless. Originally, what she wanted to promote was the virtue of women that husbands are the most important thing and women should not fight back even if they are beaten or scolded. But she messed it up and it didn't sound like that was what she meant.

"Come with me!" She pulled Bai Qingqing angrily.

Bai Tiantian quickly grabbed Sister Hong's hand and said, "Sister Hong, please let her go."

Sister Hong looked at Bai Tiantian sinisterly and said, "Saint, your mission is not yet completed. Why don't you continue teaching?"

Bai Tiantian bit her lip and let go of her hand.

Sister Hong pulled Bai Qingqing out of the room and walked in one direction angrily. On the way, she asked with great joy: "Sister Hong, are you going to take me to choose a husband?"

Sister Hong was furious and said coldly, "No."

"Sister Hong, where are you taking me?" Bai Qingqing looked around and memorized the way as she walked.

Sister Hong dragged her to an old house, threw her into a dark room, and angrily said, "Reflect on yourself here. When you realize your mistakes, I will let you out."

"Sister Hong." Bai Qingqing pulled at the door, unwilling to be locked in, and said, "What did I say wrong? Didn't you say that men should be the first priority when getting married?"

"I'll lock you up for one night and let you out tomorrow." Sister Hong pushed her in with great force. Her eyes were cold as she scolded, "If you make trouble again next time, you'll be in trouble!"

Bai Qingqing was locked in a dimly lit room and heard some rustling sounds in her ears.

She hugged her arms, thinking about how to get out of here. As expected, she was too impulsive. Sister Hong was a decisive person and was not angered by her to the point of losing her mind.

Suddenly, I heard [The target person, A-mei, appears. ]

Bai Qingqing's depressed mood instantly improved. Could it be that A'mei was also locked in this room?

Realizing that there was someone else in the room, she looked around in the dim light and found someone squatting against the corner, looking at her with horror.

"Sister?" she called softly.

The girl was covered in dirt and her face couldn't be seen clearly. When he saw her approaching, he shrank back to the corner of the wall.

"Don't be afraid." Bai Qingqing didn't move forward. She squatted down to be at eye level with her and said, "I'm here to save you."

Ah Mei shook her head in disbelief. Her voice was hoarse after not speaking for a long time and it was difficult for her to speak. "Who are you?"

"My name is Bai Qingqing." She softened her voice and said, "Do you know Awang? He asked me to save you."

Ah Mei's reaction was obviously huge, her breathing became a little rapid, "He..." She burst into tears, "Is he okay?"

Bai Qingqing took out a tissue from the space and handed it to her, "Wipe your tears first and speak slowly."

Ah Mei reached out her hand and carefully took the tissue, wiping the tears from her face, and said, "I have been locked up here for a month. Did Ah Wang really ask you to save me?"

Bai Qingqing couldn't bear to lie to her, so she said, "I have a friend, he's Awang's friend, please ask me to come find you."

Ah Mei couldn't hold back her tears again: "I've been locked up here for a month and I can't get out. There are people guarding the intersection outside and we can't escape."

"Trust me." Bai Qingqing blinked and said, "We can get out."

She took out a gun from the space. The surprised sister widened her eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "You have a gun?"

Bai Qingqing stood in the dim light and stretched out her hand to her, "Come, I'll take you out."

Ah Mei put her hand away, with a hint of hope in her eyes. She thought that maybe God really heard her daily prayers and sent someone to save her.

Bai Qingqing fired a shot at the door lock and successfully led A-mei out of the small dark room. Dark clouds covered the moonlight and the road was pitch black. Perhaps because it was dark, there was almost no one on the road.

Bai Qingqing led the group along the winding road, carefully passed several houses, and secretly came to the old lady's house.

When the old lady saw her appear with a girl, she rubbed her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it: "Amei?"

Ah Mei covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, her voice muffled: "Grandma...Grandma." She knelt on the ground and hugged the old woman's legs, "It's me, Ah Mei is back."

The old man reached out and pushed her shoulders, tears streaming down his face, "Sister, hurry up, hurry up, they will come and catch you."

"I'm not leaving."

Bai Qingqing didn't expect that she had saved the old lady's granddaughter by accident. She helped A'mei up and asked the old lady to sit on the chair.

A-mei talked to her grandmother for a while, coaxed her to sleep, and came to find Bai Qingqing, "Brother Awang was probably captured by them, just like me."

"Do you know where he is being held?"

A-mei frowned and guessed, "I guess it should be in the old ancestral hall on the north mountain."

Bai Qingqing has traveled almost all over the south in the past two days, and there is no other place where people can hide except the place just now.

There is a patrol team at the foot of the mountain, but the mountain to the north is mostly populated by men from the village, so it is very inconvenient to find anyone.

"Sister Qingqing." Ah Mei said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for saving me. If you can't guarantee your own safety, don't do anything dangerous. I will find a way to find Brother Awang."

"I promised my friend that I must do it." She was determined to complete the mission, but she had to think of a way to successfully reach the old ancestral hall.

"Why did the villagers separate you and Awang?"

Ah Mei lowered her head, her voice tinged with pain, and briefly recounted the story of her and Ah Wang.

It's a very melodramatic story. The elders in the family did not allow them to return to Zhoucun after the outbreak of the apocalypse, but they were opposed by their family members.

A-mei had received higher education in the city and rebelled against the female virtues of Zhoucun, which aroused public anger.

The two escaped from Zhoucun for love, but were caught halfway. One was imprisoned in the south and the other in the north, and they could never see each other again.
