Zuo Li was even more certain that Ye Huiran was abducted.
"Don't worry, Sister Ye, I won't run away. Even if I run away, I won't hurt you."
Hearing Zuo Li's sincere words and looking at her clear eyes, Ye Huiran suddenly felt that his heart was filled with panic, as if there were some suppressed emotions filling his heart.
Ye Huiran didn't say anything in the end and looked away.
After entering the kitchen, she was responsible for lighting the fire, while Zuo Li quickly started cooking.
The Pei family is just a few mud-tile houses, which are very simple. The doors are made of composite wooden boards with cracks, and the floor is not leveled and is uneven.
As a result, the kitchen environment was naturally not good, but fortunately Ye Huiran kept it very clean.
Zuo Li and Ye Huiran chatted about some less sensitive topics, and the one they talked about the most was Ye Huiran's only child, Pei Bingwen.
In her hands, she washed the sweet sweet potatoes, cut them into small pieces without peeling them, and cooked them with brown rice.
"This kid Bingwen is really smart. I've seen so many kids, and it's rare for anyone to be as smart as him. I taught him a few short English sentences yesterday, and he learned them quickly. He hasn't even gone to school yet.
, it’s really rare to be so smart.”
Hearing Zuo Li praise Pei Bingwen, Ye Huiran's smile became more sincere.
"Yes, this child has been smart since he was a child."
Zuo Li glanced at Ye Huiran and found that his eyes were particularly gentle.
It didn't look like the usual tiredness and numbness, nor did it look like the deep disgust and hatred hidden when facing Pei Dahe.
It's the kind of happiness that comes from the heart, which belongs to a mother's heart.
Zuo Li moved his hands for a moment, feeling a trace of remorse in his heart because he was about to take advantage of the two of them.
But, at this time, she really couldn't think too much.
What's more, if Ye Huiran and Pei Bingwen are willing, she also wants to take them to escape from here.
When she said Pei Bingwen was smart, it was not a joke, it was true.
However, probably because this village is engaged in illegal things such as human trafficking, the entire village is very wary and closed to the outside world.
It cannot be said that they are all bad people, but sometimes ignorance is the scariest thing.
Because such people often don’t feel that they have done anything wrong.
This village called Wangyue Village, as well as the surrounding villages, all have intermarriages within the village, which results in marriages between close relatives.
After all, it was only on September 10 this year that the marriage policy prohibiting the marriage of close relatives came into being.
But isolated villages don't care about this, and few of them even get certificates.
There are not enough women in the village, and most of the children born from consanguineous marriages are disabled, so these people begin to use various illegal means to buy, sell or deceive women from outside.
In order to reproduce, they first buy people from outside.
But some people can afford it, and some people can't even afford it.
Therefore, in their eyes, they can only lie.
Evil people have their own self-justifying logic, and it is not easy for others to change it.
Ye Huiran is one of the victims.
The above is what Pei Bingwen told her.
She could feel that when Pei Bingwen said these words, he was expecting her to find a way to save his mother.
The two-way love between mother and son moved Zuo Li.
"It's a pity. If Bingwen can get a good education, he will definitely become a talent in the country in the future. In that case, Sister Ye, you will also be able to enjoy happiness in the future. It's a pity."
Zuo Li said two regrets in a row, like two knives, piercing Ye Huiran's heart.
Ye Huiran looked pale and in a daze, the firewood in the stove fell to the ground.
It was only then that she came to her senses and used iron tongs to push the fallen firewood into the stove hole.
At this time, Zuo Li drew his sword again and continued: "Sister Ye, Bingwen yearns for the outside world very much. He is only fifteen years old. If we trap him in such an environment full of criminals, backwardness, isolation, dullness, and violence,
His life is ruined..."
"What on earth do you want to say?!" Ye Huiran stared at Zuo Li with red eyes.
At this moment, her face, which had become old due to hard work, was full of serious expression.
Zuo Li showed a bitter smile, "I want to escape, I want to escape with you and Bingwen. I also want to think of a way to let those who should be punished by law receive the punishment they deserve. Let those who
Poor people like you and me can go home."
Seeing that Ye Huiran didn't speak, Zuo Li said softly: "Sister Ye, I have already guessed it. You were kidnapped, just like me. Huiran Huiran, this is a sentence from "The Book of Songs: Final Wind"
, Sister Ye, it can be seen from this name that your parents should love you very much."
Most of the names chosen in this era are plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums, red flowers and green willows. Those who can truly choose a good name for their children, especially girls, love their children very much.
Ye Huiran was shocked and his eyes were in a trance, as if he thought of someone.
Zuo Li's heart beat faster. God knows, what she said now was not a huge gamble!
Even if Ye Huiran is kind to her, who knows if she has the courage to resist!
Especially under such difficult circumstances!
Mother's love is indeed great sometimes.
But I was afraid that Ye Huiran would be completely corrupted by staying here for too long. I felt that Pei Bingwen would be better off staying here instead of wandering outside.
Seeing that Ye Huiran had not responded to her, Zuo Li spoke with a sad tone and continued to stab her: "Sister Ye, I also have a lover. I just got married and I gradually discovered how good he is. I haven't even said a word to him that I like him very much."
She lowered her eyes and cut the cabbage quickly with her hands, but her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
This is not said to gain sympathy.
"I want to go back to see him, and don't want to be separated from him like this. Sister Ye, actually it's okay even if you don't want to leave with me. You just need to tell me where this is, how far away Sunshine City is from here, and whether I have
Opportunity to escape.”
After Zuo Li said these words, he waited for Ye Huiran to speak.
Snap.
The straw made a crackling sound when it was burned by the fire.
Ye Huiran raised her head and looked at Zuo Li. There was water in her eyes that had not been clouded by time.
"Bingwen, do you really like outside? He has never told me."
Zuo Li felt happy, her bet was right!
She did not answer directly, but roughly recounted the content of Pei Bingwen's chat with her yesterday.
"Rather than saying that he yearns for the outside, it's better to say that he hopes to escape from here with you."
Zuo Li's tone became softer, and there seemed to be a kind of bewitchment in his soft and gentle voice, "So Sister Ye, let's escape from here together. Once outside, I have a way for you to live a good life."
Zuo Li had already moved close to Ye Huiran at this time. Taking advantage of the opportunity to light the wok stove hole, his voice became softer and full of confusion,
"As long as you can leave, those who make mistakes in this village will definitely be punished. Sister Ye, this is my promise to you."
Ye Huiran looked at the dancing firelight and said quietly: "You are right, I was abducted. It has been twenty years, exactly twenty years. Twenty years ago, I had a quarrel with my parents because of some things.
He ran away from home and wanted to live alone.
At that time, I was spoiled by my parents so innocently that I thought that the outside world was also white. As a result, on the train, I met a kind-faced elder sister..."
Speaking of this, Ye Huiran's face was full of hatred and resentment, "That person is my mother-in-law. Hey, you have also seen Pei Dahe's appearance. No girl is willing to marry her.
I escaped at first, but I couldn't escape. This village was like a spider web, and I was just a butterfly caught in the web, with nowhere to escape."
Zuo Li felt her nose sore inexplicably. She blinked her eyes, held back her tears, and got up to start cooking.
The farmer was reluctant to use oil, so Zuo Li didn't use it. He just stir-fried the cabbage, added some water, and finally put in the seasonings. It actually tasted good, at least better than what Ye Huiran made.
Ye Huiran looked at Zuo Li at this time, his eyes burning: "However, I have a way now to let you escape. The chance is very good, it will be tomorrow!"
Zuo Li stared at her excitedly, her tone slightly raised due to the excessive mood swings: "Really?"
Ye Huiran nodded, but looked at Zuo Li and said, "You just have to agree to one condition!"
"Say it!" Zuo Li did not hesitate. As long as she could escape, she would do anything now.
"You must take Bingwen away. It doesn't matter whether you save me or others, because this is too difficult and I don't want to embarrass you.
You have to know that I am willing to take risks for you, except that my conscience has not been completely swallowed up by this place, just because of Bingwen."
Because of her vigilance, she lowered her voice so low that her voice was hoarse, giving her an extremely terrifying feeling.
Of course Zuo Li doesn't think he has a very strong personality.
She won't have the so-called halo of being a heroine. Whatever she wants, she has to calculate everything.
"Of course! Sister Ye, believe me, I will never lie to you."
Ye Huiran took a deep breath and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard movement outside. He quickly stood up, walked to Zuo Li, and pretended to be satisfied:
"Well, yes, your cooking skills are good. Dahe, get up. Let me tell you, this eldest daughter is a good cook. You can use this dish with wine later."
Pei Dahe was about to lose his temper when he found out that Zuo Li was not in the woodshed, but when he heard that he could drink, he calmed down.
"Really? I want to try it!" Pei Dahe walked into the kitchen, but he didn't look at the food. Instead, he glanced at Zuo Li up and down, as if he wanted to strip Zuo Li naked.
Zuo Li felt sick to his stomach. He smiled and said to Pei Dahe: "Brother Pei, try it quickly. Don't worry, if you treat me well, I won't think about running away. I just hope you can add another quilt for me."
, it was really too cold last night.”
Hearing Zuo Li's request, Pei Dahe put aside his doubts, stepped forward and quickly touched Zuo Li's hand.
"It's cold, do you want to sleep together tonight?"
Zuo Li's face darkened, and he backed away quickly, with a look of disgust and fear on his face: "Don't touch me! If you touch me again, I will die in front of you!"
Pei Dahe's expression froze, and he laughed awkwardly: "Beauty, if I don't touch you, it's just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Zuo Li stopped talking and ran across the Pei Da River back to the woodshed as if he was very angry.
She showed such disrespect to Pei Dahe, which made Pei Dahe snort coldly and his face was full of gloom.
Ye Huiran's expression remained unchanged and said from the side: "This person is the eldest lady in the city, don't mind. Besides, being able to eat the food cooked by the eldest lady herself is worth showing off, isn't it?"
As expected of having been husband and wife with Pei Dahe for twenty years, Ye Huiran knows how to talk.
Pei Dahe snorted coldly, his complexion looked better, but there was still a fierce flash in his eyes, and he cursed in his heart:
"So what if I'm the eldest lady? If you piss me off, I can do anything!"
