Chapter 40 40 Narrative of mulberries, meeting acquaintances
Sang Li had a cold smile on her indifferent face, went back to the house, and left without a sound.
Li Wang made a fortune, the situation was similar to what Sang Ye came to see in the morning, only three people were there.
Maybe Li Xidi had just been sent away, and everyone had some thoughts in their hearts, so they didn't stay at home.
More reasons should be that they don't want to face Yang's crying and scolding.
The other two daughters-in-law who have no human rights will not go out to visit, most of them were driven to the private plot by Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu has always been ruthless. She wants to torture her daughter-in-law, and she doesn't care about her life or death. Picking up ice with bare hands on a cold day, and doing heavy work under the sun on a hot day, no matter how hard you are, you don’t treat your daughter-in-law as a human being at all. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, there is no day when you can rest.
Maybe because I sold Li Xidi today, I felt guilty, so I let Yang lie down and curse, or else he would have to work if his bones were broken.
Ms. Yang was lying on the kang, screaming and crying weakly, mournfully and desperately.
Pan and Xidi were chopping firewood in the backyard, a little far away, probably on purpose. Yang's crying and scolding upset them and made them even more frightened. Xidi's today is their tomorrow.
Although I have prepared myself for a long time, I am still afraid, and I can escape for a while.
So, Sangshen easily entered Li's house and stood in front of Yang's Kang.
Mr. Yang was crying and scolding so sadly that she suddenly found a shadow cast down.
Thought it was the Li family, with a hideous face, they turned over and wanted to tear it apart.
It turned out that it was a child he was not very familiar with. He was stunned for two seconds before hesitating, "Is it the boy from the Sang family?"
Mulberry nodded expressionlessly, "Hello, Aunt Yang."
Mr. Yang recovered from the initial doubts, and regained her ferocity and hatred: "What are you doing here, get out, get out."
She has no enmity with the members of the Lao Sang family, and even has a good impression of the Lao Sang family because Mrs. Wu is often ruled by the Lao Sang family.
But at this time, the only daughter was sold, and she was full of hatred. Everyone was an enemy.
Mr. Yang married into the Li family, and after so many years, she gave birth to a girl named Li Xidi. For this reason, the man felt ashamed and beat and scolded her, and the mother-in-law felt that she was useless to torture her.
She herself felt guilty, and swallowed her anger. She just wanted to have a little foothold in this family. Therefore, their mother and daughter have always been the bottom of the Li family.
The three daughter-in-laws of the Li family were not favored. She was the worst of the three daughter-in-laws, just because the other two had sons.
Mr. Yang has been working hard all the time, staying low and being small, but he doesn't want to get more ruthless treatment in return.
The only daughter was sold.
What Mrs. Wu said was that she found a good family to marry, and Mrs. Yang is not stupid, so how could she believe it.
The only time she confronted Mrs. Wu, but she was beaten so hard that she couldn't get off the kang. She hated and regretted it. She shouldn't be so tolerant, her daughter.
Sadness came from it, and Yang couldn't help crying again.
Mulberry was always indifferent, and her cold voice was still clear amidst Yang's mournful cry.
"Sister Xi was sold by Mrs. Wu to her elder brother for twenty yuan. Wu Quanshan, the eldest brother of Mrs. Wu, carried Sister Xi's sack like carrying an animal, and went to the commune from the mountain path."
"I heard that sister Xi is thirteen years old, right? The thirteen-year-old female classmate in our school is about the same height as me, and heavier than me. I'm afraid it won't fit in a broken sack, and it's impossible to carry it around casually. Brother Xi It's really thin."
The icy and cold statement made Yang's crying gradually decrease.
The image of Li Xidi being thin and small, with a body worse than that of a six or seven-year-old child, being carried by Wu Quanshan like an animal, filled his mind with grief.
Yes, her child is really thin and weak. He has never had a full meal since he was a child, and he has never had a safe day. When he was still in the womb, he was tortured by Mrs. Wu with her.
In Yang's heart, the seeds of hatred were planted.
Mulberry continued to state without emotion: "It's really cheap for a person, only twenty yuan, not worth as much as a pig. Before my milk, I sold pork every year, and it was more than twenty. The pig has only been raised for a year, and my brother and sister have raised it." Thirteen years, what a loss."
Ms. Yang's heart twitched fiercely, yes, a living person can't even compare to a pig, how sad.
"I heard that the girls who are sold are either used as tools for giving birth to others, or they have their hearts ripped out to renew their lives. Sister Xi is only thirteen years old, and she hasn't had a good day in the past thirteen years. You will lose your future, and this life is not worth it.”
Yang's pupils shrank, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
No, no, her child is still so young and so pitiful, he can't just die like this, no.
Sangshen slightly raised her eyebrows, but her voice remained calm: "No way, it's fate. Whoever let her devote herself to the Li family, met a cruel grandma like Mrs. Wu, a useless grandfather like Li Wangfa, a cold-blooded father like Li Manjun, especially Aunt Yang is such an ineffective mother."
"The others are separated by a layer. It's reasonable not to feel sorry for Brother Xi. Fortunately, Brother Xi came out of Aunt Yang's belly. She is the closest person. I really don't understand why when Brother Xi was in trouble, this Those closest to her didn't help her."
"It's said that a mother is strong, but it doesn't seem to be true. After all, whether she is strong or not depends on whether a mother loves her children or not. Sister Xi's life is hard. She didn't meet the kind of mother who loves her children. She can only bear it by herself, since she was born, she has been struggling in suffering, growing up in the bitter water, maybe death is the only relief for her."
Mr. Yang trembled more and more, no, that's not the case, she just wanted to allow the Li family to bully her mother and daughter, because she wanted them to have a place to live in the Li family.
Sangshen sighed deeply: "Aunt Yang, forbearance will not make a heartless person, and his conscience will only make him feel that you are weak and deceitful. Forget it, you have wasted yourself and your daughter in this life. It's a foregone conclusion, so why waste your energy cursing."
"What's the use of cursing, except to make yourself hurt and hate more, what can the evildoers do? They don't hurt, they are taking the money from selling your daughter to eat and drink, don't expect God to make decisions for you , if it can be the master, how can the wicked continue to do evil, and how can you mother and daughter have been tortured for more than ten years?"
"People, after all, you can only rely on yourself, but you can't rely on you now. What a person fears most is not the strength of the enemy, but his own weakness."
"Aunt Yang, save some energy, get up and make a tomb for Brother Xi. Although her life is short, she has been here anyway. As her mother and the closest person, you can't let her live a good life while she is alive." , and don't let her die without even a belonging, become a wandering lonely ghost, and have no chance to be a human being again. The blessings she didn't get in this life should be enjoyed in the next life no matter what. I hope she will meet a good one in the next life. Mother."
As soon as the words fell, Mulberry didn't even stop, turned around and left, so flat and indifferent, as if the long speech just now didn't come from him.
Yang's eyes suddenly burst into a terrifying light, and she hurriedly called out to Mulberry: "Wait, tell me, my daughter, is she dead?"
Sangshen tilted her head and thought for a while: "Probably not. If there is someone who loves her and is willing to do something for her, maybe she can still live."
As soon as the voice fell, he strode away without stopping.
Yang Shimu was lying on the kang in a daze, and gradually, he laughed louder and louder, and became more and more frightening. When Pandi Wangdi, who was far away in the firewood shed, heard it, he couldn't help but shivered violently.
The mulberries that walked out of Li's house were crushed on the fingers, and the pale powder drifted with the wind. This is not poison, but it will stimulate the suppressed devil deep in the human body, and it will make people feel refreshed.
Looking up, he saw Deng Mazi looking at him in surprise.
Mulberry's black and white eyes looked indifferently.
Deng Mazi's heart stopped, he laughed twice, turned and ran away.
Outside the abandoned house outside the commune, a pickup truck came, and the drivers were two black and thin men with wicked eyebrows.
"I want something like this, I can't sell it at a high price."
Wu Quanshan smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's cheap to buy, and you can watch it after two days of raising it, and you can't lose money."
The two of them depended on Wu Quanshan for food. Wu Quanshan had already said so, and they had nothing to say. They threw him into the carriage, cleaned up all the traces here, and all four of them got in the car and left.
Sang Dazhuang's men waved in the dark, and a car followed them not too far away.
Sang Ye bared her teeth in the carriage, moved her hands and feet, and wrote a note to these people in the small book, dared to throw her, and waited.
Looked around the narrow and closed compartment. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen, and there was an unspeakable smell. It was cold everywhere, colder than ice lumps.
Sang Ye curled her lips, really wicked, in such a cold day, she didn't even mention making a bed quilt, they are also things that can be sold for money anyway.
I kicked the door of the carriage with my foot, and it can be opened, but this meeting is not necessary.
Turning around and rubbing against the car door, squinting one eye and looking out through the gap.
She has been here before, it is a small road leading to the county town through the mountains and forests, usually no one walks around, and the weeds are overgrown, no wonder it is so bumpy, her lungs are about to pop out.
I don't know if her father came to her.
Thinking of the way Sang Dazhuang looked at her recently, Sang Ye feels aggrieved and feels a little guilty.
Sighed maturely, touched his body for a while, took off a sock and threw it outside.
She firmly believed that although father was angry with her, he would not ignore her.
After throwing away the socks, he took two steps back and lay down with his hands and feet spread out. He didn't know where these wicked ghosts took them.
Three minutes after the car left, a truck passed by.
Seeing the socks, he stopped for a moment, then picked up the socks and continued to follow.
The thin monkey pinched his nose and handed the socks to Sang Dazhuang, disgusted: "Brother Zhuang, you also talk about our daughter, she is a girl after all, and the socks are often changed and washed. The smell is stronger than us old men. "
Sang Dazhuang didn't seem to hear, he put one hand on the car window, looked at the receding mountains and forests, and didn't know what he was thinking.
The thin monkey shrugged, stuffed the stinky socks under the chair, and patted the brother driving in front: "Follow closely, don't get lost."
"Don't worry, Brother Monkey, this is the only way, I can't lose it."
The truck wobbled for more than two hours, and just when Sang Ye was about to fall asleep, it stopped.
Sang Ye's eyelids twitched, hearing the sound of the carriage door opening, and then their children were carried down like cargo, and then thrown into a dark and cold cellar.
Above the head, the heavy iron plate was closed with a bang, and the cellar became darker and darker. Some children had already been imprisoned in it. As soon as the iron plate was closed, those children began to cry.
Sang Ye fumbled to stand up, and reached out to touch the iron plate on the top of the probe, but it was still half way away. The ladder was confiscated, and even if the iron plate was opened, they could not get out.
I touched the edge of the cellar again. The cellar is in the shape of a pot-bellied bottle, and the possibility of climbing up by stepping on the edge is also gone.
Sang Ye rubbed her chin angrily, trying to trap your sister Ye Zi, dreaming.
"Sister Yezi, Sister Yezi."
Just as Sang Ye was thinking about how to get out, her clothes were pulled, and there was a particularly dog-legged cry of flattery.
Sang Ye was stunned, and there are acquaintances?
It's pitch black, you can't see it, you can only guess: "Who?"
"I, I, tall and fat, big and fat, Sister Ye Zi, I saw you when you were sent down just now, and I knew that Sister Ye Zi was not dizzy, Sister Ye Zi, did you come in on purpose?"
Tall and fat?
Sang Ye stretched out her hand towards the source of the sound, and accurately pinched the tall, fat, fleshy face, tsk, this feeling.
"Why are you here, when did you come?"
Tall and fat, he giggled, without any fear of being a kidnapped child, and his hippie smile looked like a guest on an outing: "Two days ago, I went to explore the woods outside the county with my two younger brothers, and I was stunned to come here yesterday. I just woke up, but I'm not afraid at all, who am I tall and fat, a few human traffickers can't do anything to me, my grandma will find me soon."
"It's my two younger brothers who are crying annoyingly. When I go back, I don't want them to be younger brothers. It's too embarrassing."
The two boys in the corner...
"Sister Yezi, what are you going to do, tell me, I will help you, I am very good."
Sang Ye felt that Gao Dapang came at the right time: "Okay, come here, and carry me up to have a look."
"Come on." Without saying a word, Gao Dapang squatted down his fat legs and let Sang Ye sit on his shoulders.
Little Fatty is still fat, and he is still a bit strong.
Mulberry leaf is strong, but not heavy.
Sit on the tall and fat shoulders, not pressing down on others.
It's just that the tall and fat man is too short, even if he sits on his shoulders, it's still a bit short.
Sang Ye patted the tall and fat head: "You are well supported, I will try to step on your shoulders."
Tall and fat, his fat face flushed from holding back, secretly thankful that he couldn't see in the dark, he gritted his teeth, determined not to be ashamed in front of Mulberry Ye.
"Sister Ye Zi, just step on it, I can hold on."
Sang Ye rolled her eyes in disgust, and the sound of gnashing her teeth made her listen with difficulty, but her mouth was hard.
Standing on the tall and fat shoulders unsteadily, reached the iron plate, and squinted one eye to look out from the gap.
It is a private house, the cellar is under the firewood shed, and you can see the yard and the main room from the cellar.
Old lady Wu Quanshan, the two men who drove to pick her up, and a man and a woman guarding here are all in the main room at this time.
Six people sat around and whispered something, but Sang Ye couldn't hear clearly.
Tried to lift the iron plate up, it weighed fifty or sixty kilograms, and there was a stone on it, but she was able to lift it up, but the human cushion underneath couldn't stand it.
Squat down and slowly get off the tall and fat shoulders.
As soon as the mulberry leaf fell to the ground, Gao Dapang sat on the ground with his buttocks, his two fat and short legs trembled all the time, and his whole body was almost useless.
