302 Gentle Township 4

After the two children finished eating, they quickly got off the table. You chased me and ran out to play.

On the dining table, only the dumb woman, the old woman, and Bai Lixin were left.

The dumb woman had obviously finished her meal. She actually hadn't eaten a few chopsticks during the meal, and was taking care of her two children the whole time.

Putting the chopsticks aside, the dumb woman sat quietly at the table, silently waiting for the old lady to finish her meal.

"I'm full, you can slowly pack up." When the old lady was full and left the table, the dumb woman looked at Bai Lixin with some doubts, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" gesturing something.

Bai Lixin "I'm full, sit here and rest for a while, leave me alone."

Then the dumb woman stood up from the table, lowered her head and skillfully picked up the tableware.

She has no dissatisfaction with the status quo, it all seems to her for granted.

This is what she should have done.

Bai Lixin tried to reach out to help, but just as he picked up the table and chopsticks to help the woman clean up, the woman immediately pushed Bai Lixin's hand away.

He pointed at himself while pointing at the bowls and chopsticks, and then pointed at Bai Lixin and the yard outside.

It means that she will clean up the table and let Bai Lixin go out to play.

Bai Lixin looked at the dumb woman carefully. Although the dumb woman didn't take care of herself very much, the cheap coarse linen clothes did not hide her beauty.

The broken hair that was not tied up was blocked in front of her forehead, and the woman smiled at Bai Lixin, much like a daisy flower that bloomed in April.

A beautiful and gentle woman.

The dumb woman insisted on this, and Bai Lixin did not insist any more, but stood up and went out.

At this time, the two children did not know where to go to play. When Bai Lixin walked out of the courtyard, he saw that the inside of the village was pitch-dark, and there were no street lights on the road, only a pointing light was lit at the entrance of the village.

After walking on the road outside for a while, he heard cheers and poker playing from a house.

The courtyard door was not locked, and the hidden door was pushed open with a slight push.

Bai Lixin walked in and saw a large lamp hanging in the yard. Under the bright light, a group of men gathered around playing poker.

"Big you!"

"airplane!"

"Shunzi!"

"Hahaha, I won again!"

The men made a lot of circles in and out of the three circles, and thanks to Baili Xingao, they stood on tiptoe just to be able to see the scene in the crowd.

In the center of the crowd was a square table with four men sitting on the four sides, playing heartily.

The person who just said that he won is the husband of the dumb girl.

The men at the table were having a good time, and the men around were watching excitedly.

After a game is over, they have no intention of ending, and continue to start the next round.

The surrounding spectators didn't mean to be bored, they just stuck their heads out and watched.

Bai Lixin's private message rang.

He opened the private message and took a look, and found that it was sent by Li Cancan.

Li Cancanxinshen, is it convenient to meet? I seem to have discovered the secret of this village.

Hello, Bailishin, shall I find you?

Li Cancan, come on.

When Bai Lixin left, he glanced at the room again. A woman was carrying a baby behind her, and she was quietly cleaning the tableware in the kitchen with her head down. She lowered her eyebrows, as if all her attention was on the stove in front of her, and everything outside had nothing to do with her.

Following his memory, Bai Lixin came to Li Cancan and Sun Ning's residence.

The two of them have only one old man and a child in the family, there are no entertainment programs in the village, and everyone's work and rest time is very uniform. At this time, their family also finished their meal, and two people, one big and one small, went out for a walk. Only Su Cancan and Sun Ning were in the room.

As soon as Bai Lixin entered the room, Li Cancan hurriedly closed the door and said mysteriously, "We suspect that all the women in this village are abducted and sold. This may be a plot that is not named behind the normal line of the dungeon."

Sun Ning, "As soon as we settled down, we went to Panpan. I gave her a piece of candy and asked her why she was so unhappy. Panpan said she missed her brother."

"She said her brother was taken away by the mountain ghosts in the back mountain."

"There are a lot of children in this village, almost every household has a child. I think it's too weird, of course it's good to have more children, but there's not that many children in that family, right?"

"Later we asked other children, and they all knew the story of the mountain ghost, and they said that many bad boys were taken away."

Sun Ning, "I suspect that there are no mountain ghosts at all."

"Those words were conjured up by adults to deceive children."

"The real ghosts are those adults. Men buy women from outside, force them to give birth to children, and then sell the children. If it's a boy, sell it for a good price while you can't remember. If it's a girl, raise it a bit and sell it as a daughter-in-law."

"I found that there are almost no big boys in the village, but there are many older girls."

"What do you think, Blissing?"

Bai Lixin pursed her lips, "I think what you said makes sense, but there's nothing strange about it."

Li Cancan: "What do you think is weird?"

Bai Lixin "I can't tell, I just feel a little discordant. By the way, did the people in this family inform you that you will be attending the daytime banquet of the village's grandson Li and grandson tomorrow?"

Sun Ning, "I said, I'll go take a look tomorrow."

Bai Lixin remembered something and asked again, "How does this family treat you two?"

Sun Ning and Li Cancan looked at each other, and Li Cancan said, "It's very good to us. The old man even cooked a big plate of braised pork for us at night. But we didn't eat it either. Her grandson was very thin and was still growing. Looking at the braised pork, we gave all the braised pork to the grandmother's grandson."

Bai Lixin: "I remember the village chief said at the time that the family had two sons, both of whom went out to work. Whose grandson is this grandson?"

Sun Ning "It's the eldest son, and the younger son is not married yet. I heard that the eldest son's daughter-in-law died in childbirth while giving birth to this grandson. Their family is poor and can't make much money here, so they can only go out to work to earn money."

Bai Lixin made an "oh" sound, and footsteps came from the courtyard outside.

Sun Ning "It should be the old man and her grandson back."

As soon as she finished speaking, an elderly voice came from the yard, the voice was kind and smiling, and an amiable face instantly appeared in Bai Lixin's mind.

"Children, I'll take my grandson to bed first, and you should rest early as well."

"Hey, okay, grandma." Li Cancan shouted to the outside.

Bai Lixin looked out through the gap in the paper window, and saw an old man walking into the room next to this room with a cane in one hand and a five- or six-year-old child in the other.

Sun Ning, "This village seems to rest very early, and there is no entertainment. But after dinner, men wipe their mouths and go out without any worries, and women have to tidy up the kitchen."

"These self-righteous men."

After Sun Ning finished speaking, she suddenly glanced at Bai Lixin and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I don't mean you or all men, I mean some common men."

"It doesn't matter," Bai Lixin pushed open the door, "I can understand, because I can't see. Since the master is going to sleep, I will go back first, this is the first day, don't worry too much, tomorrow See you in the morning, good night."

Sun Ning "Okay, good night."

Li Cancan "What a dream, Xin Shen."

After Bai Lixin went out, he did not go directly back to the dumb woman's house, but went straight to the entrance of the village.

The village is very quiet. It is only after eight o'clock in the evening, and there is no one on the road. Only the dim yellow guiding light hangs alone at the entrance of the village.

Silent and empty.

Bai Lixin stood at the entrance of the village for a long time. He looked at the distant mountain that was almost merged with the darkness. He could no longer see the farther and farther behind the mountain.

This big mountain stood in front of him, blocking the way forward like a towering wall.

After the cold wind was blowing enough, Bai Lixin returned to the residence.

At this time, the poker players had already left, and the whole village was quiet. Bai Lixin crept open the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw that the main house was still lit.

The door of the main house was not closed. From here, I could just see the scene inside the main house.

Under the dim kerosene lamp, the dumb girl sat at the table in a dress.

It may be that she had fallen asleep at this time in the past, and now she is sitting here with one hand on her cheek, her shoulders are slightly drooping, and her eyelids are almost drawn into a line.

The beautiful face of a woman shows a unique charm and tranquility in the dim yellow light without light. She is like a painting, sitting there indifferent to the world, all the troubles and troubles in the world seem to have nothing to do with her.

The woman slapped her head and dozed off abruptly and suddenly raised her head, seeing Bai Lixin who came back at a glance.

Jing Jing's expression instantly became a little happy, and the woman quickly stood up and walked in front of Bai Lixin, gesturing "Eahahahah".

Bai Lixin was a little stunned at this time, "Are you waiting for me?"

The woman nodded heavily, pointed to the dark sky, pointed to her wrist, and finally pointed to Bai Lixin's room.

"You said it was too late, let me go back to sleep?"

Seeing that Bai Lixin could understand what she meant, the woman's face suddenly filled with a smile.

Bai Lixin looked at the gentle woman in front of her thoughtfully, "I'll go back to sleep now, thank you, it's getting late, you should go back to rest early."

The dumb woman nodded quickly, she took two steps to close the door, turned her head to turn off the kerosene lamp on the table, and finally said goodbye to Bai Lixin before tiptoeing back to her room.

Across the wall, a man's arrogant and impatient voice came out, "I just fell asleep, and you bitches came to quarrel with me. If I can't rest well, if I can't work tomorrow and make no money, see what you eat! Momo! Haw, hurry up and go to bed."

Bai Lixin "..."

This sound insulation effect is not good.

...

The next day, when the sky was still bright, Bai Lixin faintly heard the sound of firecrackers.

When he got dressed and walked out of the room, he saw that the dumb woman had already woken up.

Still the same floral apron, still the same dress. Woman is quietly kneading dough in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for her family.

Xu Shi heard the footsteps, and the woman raised her head and glanced here, smiling gently at Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin returned a polite smile and hurried out of the courtyard.

At this time, Tianzheng was only turning the fish's belly white, and the green hills in the distance were haunted by mist. From here, it looked like a fairy mountain in a picture scroll.

At the foot of the green hill, at the end of the village, a family was setting off firecrackers. Many people were busy gathering at the entrance of the alley, which should be Lao Li's house.

It was not only Bai Lixin who heard the voice and walked out, almost all the players came out, standing at the entrance of the alley and looking curiously and vigilantly towards the entrance of the village.

This is the instinctive reaction of everyone who has been on a copy trip for a long time.

Any disturbance may be a clue or a fatal danger. Everyone is a player on a high floor, vigilant against all unknowns.

But unlike these players, apart from those who helped, none of the other people in the village came out. Everyone should sleep and sleep, and cook when they should cook. It seems that they have become accustomed to this.

More than an hour later, after the sun had fully risen, the man came out of the room wearing a vest and yawning.

Behind the man were two happy children.

A woman is like a born magician. When Bai Lixin saw her in the morning, she was just a piece of dough.

There are noodles specially prepared for men, and noodles for two children.

The fragrant breakfast was served on the table, and everyone immediately feasted.

Men especially eat a lot.

The man's appetite and appetite seem to be good all the time, and he can drink two large bowls of noodles by himself in the morning.

"I'll go to work in the fields first, and we'll go to Lao Li's house at noon." The man skillfully wiped his mouth and stood up, exercising the power of the head of the family to give an order, "I'm leaving."

With that said, the man went out the door.

At the dinner table, only the dumb woman and two children remained.

Bai Lixin pointed to the place where the old woman was sitting yesterday, "Why didn't she come to eat?"

The dumb woman put down her chopsticks and raised a finger with her index finger.

The elder brother then translated in a milky voice, "My grandma only eats one meal a day. She is old now and has a bad appetite, so she can't eat more."

Bai Lixin made an "oh" sound and bowed his head to cook.

The meal was very quiet, and the only sound of the chopsticks slamming in the bowl could be heard.

After the meal, Bai Lixin once again offered to help clean up, but was still rejected by the woman.

Bai Lixin just glanced at the woman, then said nothing and went out.

The brothers seem to be playing everywhere, not eating or entertaining every day.

Seeing that his brother was going to run out with his younger brother again, Bai Lixin quickly stopped the two of them with a lollipop.

"Where does your father usually work?"

Brother "Working in the field."

Bai Lixin "Where is the ground?"

Brother innocently blinked at Bai Lixin, "The field is the field. Dad goes out to work every day. Only by working can he make money to buy food for us."

Bai Lixin saw that he couldn't ask a question, so he simply changed the question "Is there a school in your village?"

The younger brother babbled, "School, school."

Brother "School, I know where it is, do you want to see it?! I can take you there!"

After speaking, a pair of bulgbulg's eyes stared straight at Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin understood what his brother meant in an instant, he compromised and gave him a lollipop, "Okay, take me there."

The elder brother and the younger brother held Bai Lixin in the other hand, and spared a while in the originally small village, and came to a small yard not far from the village committee.

The small yard is surrounded by tall red walls, the large green iron gate is stained with rust, and even the chains and locks on the large iron gate are rusted.

It looks like it hasn't been used for many years.

Brother patted the big iron gate, "This is the school."

Bai Lixin was stunned for a moment. He stood in front of the iron gate and looked inside through the crack of the iron gate, and saw that the ten yard was full of lush weeds.

The weeds were growing wildly, and there was a thick pole in the middle of the yard. The nearly ten-meter pole stood on the edge of the yard. At the top of the pole, a dilapidated square flag hung down on the railing with its head drooping.

There are several rows of houses around the yard, and the houses have long been dilapidated.

"This is the school in your village?"

Looking at the dilapidated appearance of this school, it would be useless for a decade or two to say the least.

"Yes, this is the school." The boy smiled, "Do you want to go in, I know a dog hole can be drilled into."

"But you'd better not go in."

Bai Lixin was a little curious, "Why?"

The boy suddenly looked at Bai Lixin mysteriously, "There are ghosts in there."

Bai Lixin "..."

This is so exciting, so I'm going to go in and see it even more.

But... a dog hole?

Drilling a dog hole?

What is the dog hole?

"Take me, I'll drill!"

After a few minutes, Blissin had a whole new level of seriousness about "Dog Hole."

That is a small hole that can accommodate a child at most. No matter how slender Bai Lixin is, it is impossible to get into it.

Bai Lixin "..."

A dog hole stumped a hero.

Studio.

Magic can only be defeated with magic.

Please enjoy the "Dog Cave" brought to you by Xin Shen

"Sorrow" problem of the century.

Xin Shen never imagined that what stumped him was not a dungeon boss, but a dog hole.

Brother "Big brother, do you really want to drill? You probably won't be able to drill in."

Bai Lixin "..."

Stop talking, I see it.

Bai Lixin temporarily gave up his plan to enter the school, "You just said that there are ghosts in the school, have you seen it?"

"My brother brought us in to play. When we were playing hide-and-seek inside, we saw a dark figure with long hair and a red dress."

"At that time, it suddenly chased us, and we were startled. After we got out of the dog hole, no one dared to go in again."

Bai Lixin "."

Lady in red? This copy should be called Xia Chi.

After sending the two children away one by one, Bai Lixin looked at the green mountain in the distance again.

The dense clouds that lingered outside the mountain have dissipated, revealing its original green appearance.

He opened the taskbar and looked at his task list.

Mission 1 survives ten days and ten nights.

Task 2 finds Panpan's troubles (unfinished), and solves her troubles (unfinished).

Task three (to be determined)

If Panpan's trouble was to find his younger brother, then when he told Sun Ning and Li Cancan last night, the system should have already prompted that it was done.

It may be because of the welfare book, the difficulty of this task is indeed much easier than the previous dungeon.

In the previous copy, each question was followed by a box, meaning that an answer was submitted only if it was filled in the blank.

But this time the task is just followed by (completed) or (uncompleted). With such a questioning method, as long as the player is right, the task will be automatically judged to be completed, so it is possible to have unlimited trial and error.

After chatting with Sun Ning and the others yesterday, Bai Lixin went back to the room and recited to find his brother, but the system did not give any hints.

After that, he thought of many other possibilities, such as wanting to go to school, wanting to eat, thinking about his father...

Wait, he's tried almost everything possible and impossible, and he doesn't get a single one right.

Hey.

Bai Lixin silently closed the system task.

Don't guess the girl's mind.

Can't guess at all.

At about noon, Bai Lixin and Li Cancan met and went to Lao Li's house together.

It's not too early for them to come. Before they came, almost everyone in the village came here.

There were several dishes on the table covered with red cloth, and a young wife in a flowery dress walked back and forth at the banquet with the child and the man in her arms.

In the very middle of the yard, an old man dressed in red was sitting neatly on the Taishi chair, his smiling face almost narrowed into a line.

"Mr. Li," a few young people knelt over and handed him the wine, "Congratulations, there is another addition to the family."

"Our eldest grandson and his daughter-in-law are about to give birth," the old man smiled. "Within half a year, it is estimated that you will come to our house for dinner again."

"The eldest grandson's child is about to come out? This is four generations living in the same house. It's incredible, it's incredible!"

The old man "Where is it, you can eat and drink well. Don't worry about me, the old man, eat your own, whatever you want."

A few young people quickly got up from the ground when they got up the steps, picked up the money, and threw it into the dustpan on the table next to the old man.

In the dustpan, there is already a pile of thick money.

Li Cancan murmured in a low voice, "It turns out that I have to go with my family when I come to dinner. What should I do? I don't have any money."

Sun Ning, "The money for each instance is different. Who can get rich? I saw that some of the other players have sat down. Our players may be guests because they are guests, so we don't need to go with us.

The players consciously sat at two tables, and there happened to be one table with three seats, and the three of them sat down smoothly.

As they sat down, the players were gathered around a group whispering and discussing the sound.

Against the loud background sounds around them, their voices were particularly small.

"Which one of you finished the first question?"

"No, I don't know what Panpan's troubles are at all."

"I almost broke my lips last night, and I didn't get an answer. It's too hard to guess, isn't it? How can a seven or eight-year-old girl have any unusual troubles?"

"Is there anything special about her?"

"Nonsense, can't you come to the center NC?"

"But it doesn't matter, this copy is a welfare book, and it doesn't matter if you can't complete the mission. Didn't the system say everything? You won't be punished for failing to complete the mission. We insist on ten days and ten nights, as long as we stay alive."

"Yes, I also know this, so there is no psychological pressure. So far, everything in the copy is normal. It should be a village copy of trafficking in women and children."

"Did the men in this village take any training courses together? In the house where you live, do men work at home?"

"If you don't work, you will die of laughter, and you won't work at all. It is estimated that you have taken the 'work to die training class'."

"The family I live in is the same. The daughter-in-law works hard to take care of the children, take care of the elderly, and take care of the family. It is too painful for a woman to have no financial ability, and she has no status at all at home. I almost couldn't hold back the male master yesterday. hand."

"It should be the culture. They

This is the idea that this village may have been instilled in since childhood. Men are outsiders and women are inside. Don’t men also go out to work every day? Not necessarily abduction. "

"Okay, you're right. Anyway, I don't think these ordinary people are worthy of those hardworking mistresses."

"Returning the hostess? Why do I think these men are just treating their wives as personal nanny. How can they be ordered? Proper machismo."

The players discussed to the end and almost quarreled.

Although there are different differences, most players believe that the background of this village should be related to the abduction of women and children.

The three of Bai Lixin did not join the discussion. Bai Lixin sat in the chair and looked around the yard calmly, and found that there were a lot of children.

Some were holding them in their arms, some were running on the ground, and they were all boys.

Bai Lixin soon found and beat the mute woman's family in the crowd. The mute woman took off the linen clothes she wore all day, and put on a very new yellow clothes. She seemed to have some makeup on her face. People's temperament has improved a lot in an instant.

But it's not just the dumb wife who is beautiful, almost all the daughters-in-law on the table are very beautiful.

"Look at the looks of these women, you said they weren't kidnapped."

"You are discriminating, you know? You mean that girls from the countryside are not pretty enough?"

"You clearly know that I don't mean that, why are you always picking on me? Are you sick?"

"If I had such a beautiful daughter-in-law, I would be reluctant to let her do laundry and cooking every day. Are these daughters-in-law so good-tempered?"

"That's why it's called 'Gentle Township'. Didn't the system say that husband and wife love each other. I think all the daughters-in-law are too gentle, so it's not husband and wife love."

"Then why do you think you are so gentle? Did you always want to run away at first, but finally got scared of being beaten, so you have to be gentle? This is called prostitution, and those who abduct women and children deserve to die! They are all human, and everyone's soul is made up of the same thing. But the same people, women have become commodities sold by others because of the existence of wombs. Damn, the more I think about it, the more I get angry, this place is so disgusting, I don't want to stay for a minute. "

As the player spoke, he suddenly stood up angrily and walked out with big strides.

Because of the player's departure, the atmosphere of the original quarrel suddenly quieted down.

When the players were quarreling, Bai Lixin suddenly felt a line of sight during the quarrel.

He turned his head hesitantly, and saw that the dumb woman was looking at him, smiling gently at him from a distance across the table.

In the countryside, the cooks who set up the table are all cooking in a shed in the yard, and the meals are placed on the table one after another.

Big fish, big meat, boiled meat slices, all kinds of meat fill the table.

The guests had already started their dinner, and Bai Lixin looked around while eating, and found that, like in their respective homes, the daughters-in-law seldom touched meat. They ate the staple food in front of them modestly and obediently. Without caring about the state of his wife at all, he ate on his own.

"Hey, Mr. Li, where is your second son, why didn't you see him come out?"

I don't know who shouted while eating.

Old Man Li smiled, "The second child went out to work. He is poor in the mountains. He has no money and can't get a wife to marry. He can only go out to work to save money for marrying a wife."

"Hey, that's fast, just save up to 30,000."

"Some don't even cost 30,000."

"That's right, with 30,000 yuan, you can marry a beautiful and obedient daughter-in-law. It's not a loss or a loss. Mr. Li, try to hold the two tomorrow."

"That's right, 30,000 yuan is not as valuable as a pig, it's too valuable, hahaha."

Old Man Li, "How can there be such a good life, we have to see if you can't live up to your expectations. If you don't live up to your expectations, you can kill him."

The two tables of the players are completely different from the happy atmosphere around them.

They listened to the conversations of these people in their ears, stared at the food in front of them, and suddenly lost their appetite.

"A person's freedom and life are worth 30,000 yuan." A female player suddenly stood up and walked out angrily.

The player who was washing the village just now stopped talking. His cheeks were so hot that he could not wait to find a hole to burrow into now.

He also quickly stood up and left in a hurry.

"Why did you leave three?" A sinister voice slowly sounded from behind everyone, and everyone turned around, seeing that the village chief was standing there at an unknown time.

The village chief held a wine cup in his hand and glanced at them one by one with smiling eyes, "What's the matter? You look very unhappy, is it because the food here is not to your taste?"

"Our poor place, this must be the best food we can get."

Everyone looked at the village chief with complicated eyes.

One of the players boldly asked, "Village Chief, are you married? Do you have children?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"I'm at this age, can I still not get married? I've been married a long time ago, but my daughter-in-law died early and my son went to school abroad, so now I'm alone at home. But I'm not lonely, the village is very supportive. A lot of things keep me busy."

"Your son goes out to school. When he comes back here, will you also spend 30,000 yuan to buy a daughter-in-law for your son? 30,000 yuan is really cheap, not as expensive as a pig."

The village chief was stunned again, "What are you talking about, you child. You

Have you heard what these rude people say when they are drunk? They're just drunk, don't listen to their nonsense. "

"Well, it's normal for this man to pretend to be outside, demeaning women to improve his social status. People say 30,000 yuan is a betrothal gift, but the men in our village get married through matchmakers who introduce them to serious families. Girl."

"Oh," the player whispered in disbelief, "the thief will not admit that he is a thief until he is caught with evidence."

The village chief "Hey, you, you are prejudice against our countryside. You are still a college student from the city, how can you be inferior to me, an old man who has never gone to school. I don't even know that you can't wrong people. Don't talk nonsense when you leave our village in the future, it will ruin the reputation of our village. If you think our village is not good, then you can leave. "

"Today is a big day for the old Li family. If it wasn't for Lao Li's face, I would have let you go. The hundred-day banquet is just one time. Could you be more polite?"

The female player's face was flushed red, she took deep breaths several times, and in the end she didn't say anything and closed her mouth.

This wedding banquet players had a hard time eating.

The village culture they experience now is very different from the education they once received.

When the banquet was over, the players left the wedding party gloomily one by one.

Halfway through, Bai Lixin was tapped on the shoulder.

He looked back and saw yesterday's moustache with a hand on his shoulder, and said mysteriously, "Do you want to be a guest at Panpan's house?"
