Chapter 171 The Real Good Village
Dongsheng stopped breathing unconsciously under Ran Ran’s gaze. This huge sense of oppression forced her whole body to tremble.
Sweat soon broke out on her forehead and face.
Ran Ran suddenly put his hand on her shoulder, and Dongsheng gasped suddenly, like a person drowning in water who finally breathed oxygen.
“Can’t say!”
After Dongsheng finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, squatted on the ground, and shrunk his body into a smaller size.
Slowly, he retracted his hand, his clear eyes now full of frost.
"Why can't you say it? Are you going to become an accomplice? Are you going to side with those criminals?"
The temperature around you seems to have cooled down rapidly because of Ran Ran's words, and the atmosphere is dead. General silence.
Shen Dinghai couldn't react at all, "What kind of accomplice to the criminal? Did I skip something?"
He looked at Wu Pannan in confusion, "Have I not been listening? Why can't I understand suddenly?"
Ran Ran was still looking at Dongsheng, the hand hanging by her side had been squeezed tightly, hers His eyes were full of disappointment, "You have your own reasons, you are a victim."
"You not only have to protect yourself, but you also have to protect your mother, but you know that this is wrong."
>"You shouldn't be silent, let alone do nothing."
Dongsheng covered his head in pain, his voice trembled, "Stop talking...I beg you..."
Ran Ran frowned slightly, and her mood calmed down slightly when she saw Shen Dinghai who had no idea what was going on.
The scene was quiet for a long time.
Dongsheng suddenly spoke, her voice hoarse and weak.
"When did you know about it?"
Ran Ran closed her eyes, "From the time you mentioned Yunxiang."
"You said Yunxiang is not from the village, but she has stayed in the village for several years, and until today, she wants to marry a corpse."
"At that time, I was still telling myself not to think too much, maybe Yunxiang She has relatives in the village, so she stayed in Gude Village for so long... She is really not as unwilling to get married as I thought."
Ranran twitched her lips with difficulty, "But just now. I used the excuse of comforting my second nephew to speak louder, and when I mentioned Yunxiang..."
"I said she had no relatives in the village, but you didn't deny it. I even said that when she got married, she would use this cold house "The cave was the starting point, and you didn't refute it..."
"The conclusion is that Yunxiang was originally a person who had nothing to do with Gude Village..." Ran Ran looked straight at Dongsheng's curved back, " Really?”
"Yunxiang's best friend?"
Dongsheng, who was squatting on the ground, seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground, her face full of tears.
"I beg you...save her!" Dongsheng held Ran Ran's clothes and cried so hard that he was out of breath.
Ran Ran opened her fingers bit by bit, "In the past few years, you had many opportunities to save her, but you didn't."
"I didn't do it. How can you ask others so confidently?”
Dongsheng stretched out his hand in collapse, still wanting to hold Ran Ran, but the corner of his clothes couldn't reach her, so she grabbed Ran Ran's legs.
"Please! I can't do it...I can't save her...You can! Yunxiang is a very good person, she shouldn't be treated like this! She has a family, and her family is waiting for her to go back !”
Seeing all this, Shen Dinghai felt horrified.
"Yunxiang has nothing to do with Good Village... She was forced to stay here for several years, and now she is forced to marry a corpse... Yunxiang..."
"She was trafficked of..."
He told the truth in disbelief, and Dongsheng's crying and pleading suddenly stopped.
She began to collapse and beat her head, "It's my fault! It's my fault! I should have saved her! I knew she was abducted!"
"She begged me so many times...I just watched helplessly!" Shen Dinghai was speechless. It was like a huge stone was stuck in his throat, which not only made him unable to make a sound, but also made his heart uneasy. The place of residence is falling.
Ran Ran suddenly spoke sternly, "Even now, aren't you willing to explain things clearly to us?!"
Dong Sheng looked at Ran Ran eagerly and couldn't stop crying.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything I know! I just ask you to save Yunxiang!"
Ran Ran turned her face sideways, with a trace of unbearable flash in her eyes. What can't be promised is that Yunxiang is probably gone.
"Just make it clear."
Dongsheng let go of his hand dejectedly, as if someone had taken away his soul, and there was no luster in his black eyes.
Everyone seemed to have returned to Goode Village many years ago following Dongsheng's words.
“The group of people who established Gude Village fled to the mountains hundreds of years ago to avoid war. At that time, there was war outside, but the villagers could live a paradise-like life in the mountains. "
"All this is due to the original village chief Wu Guanyuan."
"His prestige has become more stable as the villagers live and work in peace and contentment. Life could have been like this. Live a peaceful and happy life, but Wu Guanyuan is not satisfied."
"From the beginning, he did not build Gude Village to make the villagers a Taoyuan family. He occupied the mountains and forests to build troops."
"He hopes that the villagers can thrive without danger, and it is also because he hopes to have more descendants to strengthen his strength."
Shen Dinghai was a little stunned, "Isn't the faster way to station troops not to spend money to recruit troops? Let's Villagers are born one after another. How long will it take for them to have enough troops to fight? Wu Guanyuan is probably too old to walk!"
Dong Sheng shook his head, "I don't know the specific reason. , I just heard my mother tell me this, in short, the village chief Guanyuan has an obsessive obsession with fertility."
A drop of clear tears fell from the corner of Dongsheng's eyes, "This may be the beginning of the evil cause. ”
“It’s impossible to give birth to a girl, because girls can’t fight on the battlefield, so they must be boys.”
"The idea that boys are better has been transmitted to everyone in the village from top to bottom since the head of Guanyuan Village."
Wu Pannan said with a cold face: "It turns out that this 'virtue' is so It has been around for a long time. "
Dongsheng wiped his tears, "People in the village just thought it was more useful to give birth to a boy. Daughters are also children, and they also cherish them. "
Ran Ranmo said with a face: "But inequality has already occurred. If no one changes it, this subtle gap will only get bigger as time goes by."
Dong Sheng She cried silently and took a moment to calm down before continuing.
"It is indeed becoming more and more unequal, and the inequality is getting worse. Boys are better than girls and are gradually invading every corner of Good Village."
"Gude Village was formed unknowingly. There are many rules that put men first."
Dong Sheng looked at Ran Ran helplessly, "Those rules are not written in black and white, nor are they passed down orally."
"They are invisible and intangible, but everyone follows them and everyone believes them."
"Everyone acquiesces."
Shen Dinghai couldn't stand listening anymore. He felt as if a huge furnace was surrounding him, making him restless.
Ranran calmly withdrew his gaze and whispered: "What about?"
Dongsheng was stunned for a while with his mouth open, and suddenly said: "The simplest example is the door of every house. The water in the canal becomes shallow during the dry season, so the village has built steps that you can walk down to fetch water.”
“But the height of the steps is based on the height of the men in the village.”
“They can easily pick up the water by bending down, but women have to bend down very hard to touch the water.”
Dongsheng's face was full of confusion.
“But the men in the village don’t have to fetch water to work.”
