Wen Li was unaware of what was happening on Weibo until Huo Yinghuai and the Wen family kept calling her to check on her safety. Only then did Wen Li realize that the amazing netizens had completely exposed "Miss Wen's" identity.
Wen Li had stopped caring about Baiyun Village. After returning from Baiyun Village, she moved into a tent near the mausoleum and was currently busy excavating cultural relics.
When she saw messages of concern from family and friends, Wen Li took a break and responded to each one.
The events in Baiyun Village were so shocking that the topic remained popular for half a month.
Finally, at the end of August, the Chaoyun City Public Security Bureau issued its final announcement—
Village chief Yang Shun and the villagers who participated in the murder of women and Taoist priests were all severely punished, ranging from life imprisonment to death. Other villagers who bought and sold or participated in human trafficking were also sentenced to the maximum penalties stipulated in the regulations.
In Baiyun Village, apart from children, over 90% of the men are in prison.
However, some difficulties were encountered during the process.
Seventy percent of the women in Baiyun Village were trafficked, so the police investigated them one by one and found their families.
The crimes in Baiyun Village spanned a long period of time, and some victims had already given birth to children there. As a result, some people blamed the police for taking away their men, but a large number of them quickly left this place that they once regarded as hell after finding their families.
The abandoned child doesn't understand, thinks her mother is heartless and selfish, and even curses her own victim mother.
Some people knew that Wen Li was the one who spearheaded all of this, so they went to the archaeological team to cause trouble and hurl insults.
However, the archaeological team didn't care whether the other party was old or young. They called the police every time they came. Eventually, the police sent people to guard the area. If they caused any trouble, they would take the group of adults and children to the police station for a "education."
Everyone knew this was a protracted, silent war, but fortunately the police were patient, so soon no one bothered Wenli anymore.
After all, it's September, and school will start soon.
The children haven't finished their homework yet.
Wen Li couldn't help but smile when she learned about this.
Su Sui joked with her, saying, "No matter how big the world is, the homework assigned by the teacher is the biggest."
Zhou Qingyue also joked, "Who wasn't afraid of teachers when they were young? Now I avoid my elementary school teachers."
There were still a few days left before their archaeological work was to be completed.
They had almost finished their work, so they weren't too busy these past few days.
Wen Li provided tents to her classmates for free and also dismantled the criminal network in Baiyun Village. Everyone respected and liked Wen Li.
But I still can't help but sigh whenever I talk about the situation in Baiyun Village.
Hearing the three chatting, the male classmate next to him couldn't help but chime in, "Baiyun Village has gone completely astray from the start. They clearly helped them, yet they still blame Wen Li and the police for taking away their husbands. Those children are just like their parents, rotten to the core. Instead of feeling sorry for their mothers, they resent their mothers for leaving. All they ever think about is that after their mothers leave, no one will cook for them, and no one will find them wives when they grow up. But they never consider that their mothers never belonged here in the first place."
Now, the children born to the perpetrators by the victims have become sharp knives, stabbing them in return.
Su Sui nodded in agreement: "If it were me, I would definitely leave without looking back."
...
Time flies, and on the last day of August, Wen Li finished her work. She will be able to receive her graduation certificate from University A after her thesis defense next year.
As soon as I arrived at the airport in City A, the entire Wen family came to greet me.
When Wen Tingsong saw that his daughter had lost a lot of weight, his eyes immediately reddened: "How could she have lost so much weight in just two months?"
Wen Li: "Dad, you've mistaken me for someone else."
Wen Tingsong could not be wrong. Wen Li was not good at gaining weight, and after two months, the weight she had managed to gain had disappeared without a trace.
In fact, the archaeological team was provided with meals by Baiyun Village. However, after such a major incident in Baiyun Village, they stopped receiving meals. The tomb was also far from the town, so in the end they had to cook for themselves in the wild.
Even though we have done our best to create conditions for them, there are still many inconveniences in living in the wild, so they naturally lose a lot of weight.
Wen Li felt that her father's expression was too exaggerated. She had only lost two or three pounds, but in her father's eyes, it was as if she had suddenly lost dozens of pounds.
Helpless, Wen Li took her father's arm, then glanced at Xiao Xu who was secretly wiping away tears, and took his arm as well.
Xu Yurong was stunned, and her eyes suddenly reddened, but Wen Li seemed not to notice. She pulled the two of them to the car opposite and said, "I haven't lost much weight. And I definitely won't be working at the cemetery again in the next year. Did you receive my package at home? It's the postgraduate entrance exam materials that Professor Mu sent me."
Wen Li said helplessly, "I'm not graduating until next year, but Professor Mu is already telling me to hurry up and study for the postgraduate entrance exam."
When Wen Tingsong saw his daughter joking with him, his mood instantly improved: "Professor Mu is only doing this for your own good, but if you find the postgraduate entrance exam too tiring, just ignore him and do whatever you want."
His daughter is free and shouldn't be confined by anything.
He couldn't, and Professor Mu couldn't either.
"Professor Mu will probably be angry if he hears what you say."
Wen Tingsong chuckled: "Anyway, my daughter's preference is the most important thing."
...
After returning home, Wen Li rested at home for several days.
