Chapter 351: A Strange Journey (6)
"But she particularly hates men, and thinks that there are no good men. But if the village wants to have more people and raise offspring, it can't do without men, so she made this rule, trying to kidnap men from outside the village to help them give birth to children, and replace one when one is useless. But try to give birth to as few boys as possible, because she thinks that if there are too many men in the village, unnecessary trouble will arise. So..."
Ren Xin shuddered as he spoke of this. "In the past, they would even drown male babies, and the village became a world of women. Later, I don't know if this cruel thing became a genetic memory, but the number of male babies born in the village really decreased. Some of them were even born weak and would not live long, and could not affect the status of women. There were very few healthy ones like me, so the village gradually lost this tradition, and the village has continued to this day."
Ning Ning, "This happened many years ago. I know that some remote places had customs that seem barbaric and cruel today a long time ago. But as they became civilized and accepted foreign civilizations, they gradually abandoned their past traditions. Don't you want to help them? You actually watched them kill one man after another?"
"It's useless, it's useless!"
Ren Xin waved his hand, "Look, there is a desire to accept foreign things here! Besides, I am a man with little influence in their eyes, they will not listen to me! Here, as long as you dare to express a different opinion, the end is irreparable! Just like Jinghua, others don’t know, but I can see that she likes Wen Ang! But so what, she can only offer Wen Ang obediently! If she refuses, not only will her brother not be able to be saved, I am afraid she will even lose her life! Humph, she is a woman, so what? She can only be obedient! Besides, I can’t count how many men have been harmed in the village! I am afraid that there is not enough space to bury the bones in the back mountain! After committing such a thing, do you still think that someone will confess and repent! So I am lucky as long as I can save myself, and I don’t care about anything else! Don’t think too much, I advise you, be obedient so that you won’t suffer!"
After saying that, he left angrily and locked the door from the outside.
Ning Ning put away the mobile phone under the table. Indeed, there was no internet here, but the mobile phone also had a recording function, which was rare evidence.
That is to say, Ren Xin was very emotional and felt that Ning Ning would definitely not be able to get out, so he poured out his heart and asked him to record everything.
Ning Ning put away her phone and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, many voices and musical instrument sounds were heard outside. The sound of the instruments was quite loud, but it sounded a bit lingering and sad. Ning Ning had never heard it before.
Someone came to call Minwen and Minle to go to the ancestral hall together, saying that the ancestor worship ceremony was about to begin.
The person who spoke had a loud voice and was not afraid that Ning Ning could hear him. "After we offer sacrifices to our ancestors, we can get rid of that useless guy and replace him with your new one. I've seen the new guy and he's so handsome. Your Ren Xin is really capable!"
Then Min Wen's voice was heard, "Well, he's a man, what ability does he have? He can barely speak a few words! Or you are lucky, you gave birth to four daughters in your lifetime, I envy you so much!"
"Oh, look at what you said, hahahaha!"
Ning Ning: ...It seems that this trick of using belittling one's own children to be polite is the same everywhere.
They seemed to think that Ning Ning would definitely not be able to escape, so they left Ren Xin behind to watch over him. After all, Ren Xin was a man and had no right to offer sacrifices to the ancestors!
Before leaving, Min Le kicked him and said that if anything could go wrong with a person who was locked up, she would report to the clan leader and hand over Ren Xin.
Ren Xin was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.
After they all left, Ren Xin sat outside angrily, staring at Ning Ning's door from time to time. When he wasn't staring at the door, he was packing his things, muttering, "I'm leaving! I'll leave after I finish offering sacrifices to the ancestors. You bastards don't treat me as a human being. I'm never going back to this crappy place again! - Who?!"
"it's me."
Jinghua's voice came, and Ren Xin was puzzled, "We were worshipping our ancestors, why are you here?"
"The clan leader ordered me to bring you a piece of meat for the ancestral sacrifice."
"Why would she give me meat? Isn't that something only you 'noble' women can eat?"
"The village chief said that if you leave this time, you may not be able to come back. After all, you grew up in the village, so you should eat the meat offered to the ancestors before you leave!"
"Humph, she still has a conscience."
Ren Xin hummed this sentence softly. Since he was about to leave here anyway, he didn't have to worry about what he said.
He picked up the meat and started eating, muttering as he ate, "Why is this meat tasteless? It's not delicious, and you guys always lick your lips and smack your lips when you eat it, it's really - ugh!"
Then there was a sound of a body falling to the ground outside, and then someone opened the door from outside. Jinghua's face appeared at the door, and she waved at Ning Ning, "Come on, follow me!"
"Ho-ho, ho-ho"
In the living room, Ren Xin was lying on the ground, holding his neck, making a sound like pulling a bellows.
More and more blood oozed from his neck, his whole body twitched, and he stared at Ning Ning and Jing Hua in horror with wide eyes, as if what was happening before his eyes was completely beyond his understanding.
He stretched out his hand to Ning Ning tremblingly, as if he wanted to ask Ning Ning for help, but Ning Ning ignored him.
Ning Ning was also a little surprised. He knew Jing Hua would take action, but he didn't expect her to be so direct.
Jinghua pulled him out the door, where Wen Ang was waiting for them.
Wen Ang could hardly stand. He sat on the ground, wrapped in a sheet, breathing slightly.
Putting away the bloody knife, Jinghua asked Ning Ning to carry Wen Ang on her back while she led the way and took them out.
"When we get outside, I will go with you to find those policemen. This kind of village should not have existed long ago!"
Ning Ning carried Wen Ang on her back and followed her.
They quickened their pace, left the village, and walked along the mountain road outside the village. Wen Ang kept coughing softly along the way.
He had been locked up in a closed environment for so long that even when he went outside, he would feel uncomfortable when blown by the mountain breeze.
When he reached a narrow and winding section of the road, he finally couldn't control himself anymore, coughed even louder, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Wen, how are you?"
Ning Ning and Jing Hua's attention was focused on Wen Ang. At this moment, a man suddenly flew out from the side of the road, and his movements were so fast that they almost left an afterimage!
She just stabbed Jinghua's stomach with a knife!
"Minle!"
Minle's face was full of malicious smile, and he was about to twist the knife in Jinghua's stomach!
Ning Ning hurriedly kicked her out!
Minle seemed to feel no pain and rushed towards Jinghua viciously, "Bitch, how did the village wrong you? You poisoned the meat! You killed people, you must pay for their lives!"
