Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

I wanted to continue walking directly across the village, but as soon as I reached the road leading to the village, I was stopped by someone.

Qingyan looked at the people rushing over and subconsciously pulled on the reins. Fortunately, the big bear stopped in time. Otherwise, if it had been another horse, she would have stood up and might have kicked him if she pulled like this. It hurt the person in front.

She leaned forward along with the inertia of the car and took a clear look at the person in front of her.

It was a woman whose clothes were in tatters and there was no room for patching. Her feet were wrapped in thick hay, which served as shoes.

It just snowed the day before yesterday, and she already had frostbite on her face and hands. It seems that she suffers from frostbite every year, so it recurs as soon as it gets cold.

Maybe he also knew that something was wrong with him suddenly jumping out, and he looked embarrassed and at a loss.

Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Qingyan jumped off the carriage and walked to her side.

As soon as she got close, the woman took a few steps back. She stopped moving forward and said in as gentle a voice as possible: "What's going on with this eldest lady? Why did you stop my carriage?"

The woman lowered her head and peeked at her with her eyes.

Qingyan repeated it again, and the other party said in a low voice: "Can you... please help me..."

Qingyan blinked, not knowing how to answer, although this woman was very sympathetic, but she couldn't help playing her father's exhortation in a loop.

Don't help others easily outside, especially strangers who suddenly come out to ask for help. The more pitiful they look, they may be trying to arouse your sympathy and lead you into a trap...

Although she had a lot of help before, such as the people from Yangjiaping, Xue Minghua, and the people from Qinian Village.

But she took the initiative and secretly observed that the other party needed help. It was definitely not the other party's routine, so she hesitated for a while.

Although she has strength points and plug-ins, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and besides, she doesn't want to see the ugliness of the world.

In the midst of her thoughts, the woman knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowing and saying: "Please, as soon as I see you, you will be kind, and you will do a good deed that day. Please bring a message to Zhang in front of me." Market town, Zhang Mancang’s house, I beg you!”

Upon hearing this, Qingyan just brought a message. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "What message do you want to bring? Is Zhangji Town on this road? If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you."

The woman said eagerly: "Yes, yes! Just twenty miles ahead, Zhangji Town is right next to the official road. It's easy to recognize!"

Qingyan nodded, "Then tell me, and I'll try to bring it to you."

The woman kowtowed three times before she said: "Zhang Mancang is my eldest brother. He works as an apprentice in the carpentry shop in the town. Just tell him and let him rescue the two nieces. They are going to be sold... ugh Woo hoo..."

As he spoke, the woman began to cry.

Qingyan frowned upon hearing this and asked in a deep voice, "Is your daughter going to be sold?"

Seeing the woman nodding, she said again: "Who is going to sell your daughter? Your in-laws or your husband?"

The only people who can make the decision over the child's mother are the child's grandparents and biological father.

The woman shook her head and said with a sad look on her face: "The child's father enlisted in the army and went to the border. Half a year ago, the government sent the funeral report. My parents-in-law were so sad that they left within two months. Now we are the only orphans and widowers left.

The person who wanted to sell my two daughters was my husband's uncle. He said that my parents-in-law borrowed the money from him when they were digging cave dwellings and insisted that we pay him back with interest.

Not only did they drive us out and rob the cave dwelling, they also locked up my two daughters and refused to let me see them at all. They either used money to ransom us or sold my two daughters to pay off debts.

I have no money at all, and I dare not leave the village, for fear that the child will be gone when I come back. I have been waiting at the intersection for the past two days, trying to get someone to bring me a message to the child’s uncle, but they ignored me... "

Qingyan's eyebrows almost turned into knots. She took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask: "That so-called clan uncle said that your parents-in-law borrowed money and can they provide proof? He can't just say it himself, right?"

The woman, Zhang Chunhua, said: "A clan elder testified for him, saying that my parents-in-law had indeed borrowed money, six taels of silver."

Qingyan: "How much does it cost to dig a cave dwelling here?"

Zhang Chunhua: "?"

Come on, there’s no need to ask, this is a confused person who doesn’t know what he’s doing, and he doesn’t know at all.

Qingyan led the carriage and led her to the wall of a courtyard, where she could get the sun and be sheltered from the wind. Seeing her trembling, she felt a little unbearable.

Then he said to her: "Have you never thought that the other party might be working together to deceive you? Your parents-in-law and husband are all dead, leaving only you orphans and widows. You are not a family member. This is a matter of death without proof. What do they say.

Are your village chiefs or neighborhood chiefs fair?If it is fair, you can sue them and let the village chief or village chief make the decision for you. "

Zhang Chunhua blinked blankly, and then said after a while: "I...I thought so too, and asked them. Several daughters-in-law of the clan elders beat me up, saying that I slandered their father-in-law's reputation.

The head of our village is the eldest son-in-law of that clan uncle. He...he is unfair. "

Qingyan: "..."

This is obviously someone who wants to take over the family, but this method is really despicable.

Her nosy factor is ready to stir up again, what should she do?
Taking a deep breath, he asked about the location of Zhang Chunhua's uncle's family, while covering the whole village with his spiritual sense, to help her find out the whereabouts of her two daughters.

Zhang Chunhua: "The first one in the second row to the west."

Qingyan looked over with her consciousness and saw that it was a courtyard with three cave dwellings. In the middle cave dwelling, a large family was having a meal. It should be breakfast at this time.

Qingyan counted eleven people in total, including an old man, an old lady, four middle-aged men and women, three and a half men and two little girls.Judging from the way the two little girls were being affectionate with other people, they must not be Zhang Chunhua's children.

While asking how old Zhang Chunhua's two daughters were, she then used her spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding cave dwellings and found two little girls of three or four years old, one three and one four years old, in the yard of the best cave dwelling.

The two children were locked in a sheepfold, huddled together with the lambs for warmth. They were only shivering from the cold, because the clothes they wore were almost the same as Zhang Chunhua's.

This was also the reason why she recognized him. In terms of appearance, he didn't look much like her. He probably looked more like their father.

Qingyan said to Zhang Chunhua again: "I think your so-called clan uncle is colluding with the clan elder to occupy your cave dwelling and defraud you of money.

They may not dare to sell your two daughters. After all, your biological mother is still here, and they can't sell their bodies to others for money. That's illegal. "

She heard Xue Huan'er say that the control over human trafficking is relatively strict now. Except for those who sell themselves voluntarily, their immediate relatives can sign the deed of sale on their behalf. Others cannot sign casually, because this is also to prevent some human trafficking. situation occurs.

This is the case for Zhang Chunhua. The other party must have wanted to threaten her and ask her to use money to redeem the child. As for why she was threatening her, he must have known that she had a brother who worked in a carpenter shop in the town. He should have some money, otherwise As poor as they are, it's impossible to blackmail them.

Even if the other party didn't make up this excuse to borrow money, and the money was really borrowed, then just take back the cave dwelling. It must be enough to pay off the debt, so why do you need to charge any interest?He also locked up other people's children and threatened them. This is still a clan uncle and clan elder. This is too unethical.

So Qingyan decided to help these three ladies and do a good deed that day.

So she asked Zhang Chunhua: "How do you want to solve it? Do you want to borrow money from your brother to redeem your daughter?
I think you can report it to the government and say that someone kidnapped your child and wants to traffic people, or you can ask the government to help check whether the money loan is true or not. "

People nowadays are more afraid of meeting officials, because they can really get beaten up now, so most people do not easily meet officials when there is no big deal, and their legs feel weak when they see official uniforms.

Obviously Zhang Chunhua is such a person. She shook her head vigorously and said: "No, no, I heard that ordinary people have to be slapped before they can sue an official. I can't help it. I will die if I get slapped. That red What should I do, Er Cui Er?"

Qingyan thought for a while, she seemed to have said this, but it was only when the people sued officials and servants to sue the master, this was a distinction between high and low status, and it was also to protect the party with high status from being easily falsely accused.

She explained to Zhang Chunhua, "Only when people sue officials and servants against the master will they be punished first. This is a rule set for people with low status who want to sue people with higher status than them. There is no relationship between you and the uncle of that clan. They are all equal, and you won’t get slapped if you report to the official.”

Zhang Chunhua didn't dare either. She had never even seen which way the yamen door opened. She was just an ordinary village woman and didn't have the courage at all.

Qingyan pursed her lips, a little angry at his indifference, but she understood, and then said: "Then do you still want to continue living in this village? If you don't want to, I can help you find your daughter and send you to Go to your brother and join him."

Zhang Chunhua's eyes lit up, then dimmed quickly, and he said with a grimace: "We, the three of us, are now penniless and have been kicked out again. I'm afraid it won't be long-term to join my brother. After all, we still have sisters-in-law and nephews at home... …”

Qingyan interrupted her and said: "What I mean is that if you don't want to live in this village anymore, I can help you check whether the borrowing of money is true. If it is true, you can pay off the debt in the cave courtyard. There should be fields and other things that can be sold.

If it's fake, you should sell the cave to him, get the money back, and settle down with your brother. "

Zhang Chunhua said with a grateful face: "Isn't this too troublesome for you? We met by chance, and you helped me so much, while those relatives tried their best to abuse us..."

As she was about to cry, Qingyan quickly stopped her and asked her if this was okay.

She then held back her tears and said, "I'm afraid not, they are unlikely to give me money regardless of whether it's true or false.

Moreover, the farmland at home is gone and had been sold to others long ago when I was treating my parents-in-law.

Because the money needed to sell was relatively small, a total of six taels of silver were sold, and more than two taels of silver were spent on the treatment. The remaining silver was spent on a coffin and shroud, and the funeral was held. "

Qingyan almost forgot that in the current tradition, no matter how miserable you are when you are alive, the funeral after death must be more beautiful than before. If a straw mat is enough, there will be no one who sells his body to bury his father.

So it’s normal to spend money on this.

She couldn't say clearly that asking for money from her uncle's family was not an open matter, but a secret operation.

She can use her spiritual sense to secretly detect it. If the loan is true, after asking about the price of this cave dwelling, it must be more than that amount. They can't borrow it all because they still have some savings. The remaining money can be obtained directly from the clan uncle's house. Just come out.

If there is no such thing as borrowing money, then you should get the money according to the market price, and also get a little more interest on the way. If you bully the orphans and widows, you have to make them pay some price.

Of course, she can actually come forward directly, but after all, he has no deterrent power, and others may not be able to listen to her. She has to defeat the other party, but what about after the beating?When the time comes for her to leave, these three people will still live in this place. Even if they are not from the same village, they will find her eldest brother to go to, so it is better to come secretly.

When she has money in her hands, she won't be able to care about where she settles down or how the three of them will live after that. As long as her eldest brother's character is not such a destitute person, this mother will Three women shouldn't be too bad.

After all, with her mother's family protecting her, people here shouldn't dare to go too far.

At this time, I heard Chou Chou send her a voice transmission: "Don't worry about it, those people just want to bully the orphans and widows. I just watched them curiously, and then I heard the family chatting, and I happened to talk about this .

The two daughters-in-law of the clan uncle were a little reluctant. They felt that the clan elder had shared too much. They said they should share it equally, but they had taken the risk.

After all, we are talking about borrowing money from their family. If Zhang Chunhua’s family comes to make trouble, they will go to his house to make trouble. The clan leader is just a witness, and they will not bother him, so I think We should give less money to them, and now we are blaming their father-in-law because of this.

And those two little girls, you can't even imagine where they are being held.

He was not imprisoned in that clan uncle's home, nor in that clan elder's home, but in the village chief's home.

These people are really enough. It seems that the village chief has also given them benefits and wants to deceive others together.

If Zhang Chunhua's natal family really wanted to find her, it probably wouldn't be successful, after all, the village head was holding her back. "

Qingyan was a little angry when she heard this and said: "It's true that everyone has it. My own relatives and tribesmen can also be regarded as the widows and descendants of soldiers who died at the border. If they don't take care of them, they will bully them in different ways. This kind of person really doesn't deserve a good death.
