Chapter 171 The real Good Village Under Ran Ran's gaze, Dongsheng stopped breathing unconsciously. This huge sense of oppression forced her whole body to tremble. Sweat soon broke out on her forehead and face. Ranran suddenly put his hand on her shoulder, and Dongsheng gasped suddenly, like a person drowning in water finally able to breathe oxygen. "can not say!" After Dongsheng finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, squatted on the ground, and shrunk his body into a smaller size. Ranran slowly retracted her hand, her clear eyes now full of frost. "Why can't you say it? Are you going to become an accomplice? Are you going to side with those criminals?" The temperature around him seemed to have cooled down rapidly because of Ran Ran's words, and the atmosphere became deathly silent. Shen Dinghai couldn't react at all, "What accomplice to the criminal? Did I skip something?" He looked at Wu Pannan in confusion, "Have I not been listening? Why can't I understand suddenly?"
Ran Ran was still looking at Dongsheng, and the hands hanging by her sides were already clenched. Her eyes were full of disappointment, "You have your own reasons, you are the victim." "You not only have to protect yourself, but you also have to protect your mother, but you know that this is wrong." "You shouldn't be silent, let alone do nothing." Dongsheng covered his head in pain, his voice trembled, "Stop talking...I beg you..." Ran Ran frowned slightly, and her mood calmed down slightly when she saw Shen Dinghai who had no idea what was going on. The scene was quiet for a long time. Dongsheng suddenly spoke, her voice hoarse and weak. "When did you find out?" Ranran closed her eyes, "From the time you mentioned Yunxiang." "You said Yunxiang is not from the village, but she has stayed in the village for several years, and until today, she wants to marry a corpse." "At that time, I was still telling myself not to think too much. Maybe Yunxiang has relatives in the village, which is why she stayed in Good Village for so long... She is really not as unwilling to get married as I thought." Ran Ran twitched her lips with difficulty, "But just now I used the excuse of comforting my second nephew to speak louder, but when I mentioned Yunxiang..." "I said she had no relatives in the village, but you didn't deny it. Even when I said she would use this cold cave as a starting point for her marriage, you didn't refute it..." "The conclusion is that Yunxiang was originally a person who had nothing to do with Gude Village..." Ran Ran looked straight at Dongsheng's curved back, "Is that right?" "Yunxiang's best friend?" Dongsheng, who was squatting on the ground, seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground, her face full of tears. "I beg you...save her!" Dongsheng held Ranran's clothes and cried so hard that he was out of breath. Ranran opened her fingers bit by bit, "In the past few years, you have had many opportunities to save her, but you didn't." "How can you ask others so confidently for something you haven't done yourself?"
Dongsheng stretched out his hand in collapse, still wanting to hold Ran Ran, but the corner of his clothes couldn't reach her, so she grabbed Ran Ran's legs. "Please! I can't do it... I can't save her... You can! Yunxiang is a very good person, she shouldn't be treated like this! She has a family, and her family is waiting for her to go back!" Shen Dinghai felt horrified when he witnessed all this. "Yunxiang has nothing to do with Good Village... She was forced to stay here for several years, and now she is forced to marry a corpse... Yunxiang..." "They were trafficked..." He told the truth in disbelief, and Dongsheng's crying and pleading suddenly stopped. She began to collapse and beat her head, "It's my fault! It's my fault! I should have saved her! I knew she was abducted!" "She begged me so many times...I just watched helplessly!" Shen Dinghai was speechless. It was like a huge stone was stuck in his throat, which not only made him unable to make a sound, but also made his heart uneasy. The place of residence is falling. Ran Ran suddenly spoke sternly, "Even now, aren't you willing to explain things clearly to us?!" Dong Sheng looked at Ran Ran eagerly and couldn't stop crying. "I tell you! I tell you everything! I tell you everything I know! I just ask you to save Yunxiang!" Ranran turned her face sideways, a trace of unbearable flashing in her eyes. What she couldn't promise Dongsheng was that Yunxiang was probably gone. "Just make it clear." Dongsheng let go of his hand dejectedly, as if his soul had been taken away, and there was no longer any luster in his dark eyes. Everyone seemed to have returned to Goode Village many years ago following Dongsheng's words. "The group of people who established Gude Village fled to the mountains hundreds of years ago to avoid war. At that time, there was war outside, but the villagers could live a paradise-like life in the mountains." "All this is due to the original village head of the village - Wu Guanyuan." "His prestige has become more stable as the villagers live and work in peace and contentment. Life could have been peaceful and beautiful, but Wu Guanyuan was not satisfied." "From the very beginning, when he established Gude Village, it was not to make the villagers become Taoyuan people. He occupied the mountains and forests to build troops." "He hopes that the villagers can thrive without danger, and it is also because he hopes to have more descendants to strengthen his power." Shen Dinghai was a little stunned, "The faster way to station troops is not to spend money to recruit soldiers and horses? Let the villagers give birth to one generation after another. How long will it take before we have enough troops to fight the war? Wu Guanyuan is probably too old to walk!" Dongsheng shook his head, "I don't know the specific reason. I just heard my mother tell me this. In short, Village Chief Guanyuan has an obsession with fertility." A drop of clear tears fell from the corner of Dongsheng's eyes, "This may be the beginning of the evil cause." "It's not okay to give birth to a girl, because girls can't go to the battlefield to fight. It must be a boy." "The idea that boys are better has been transmitted to everyone in the village from top to bottom, starting from the head of Guanyuan Village." Wu Pannan said with a cold face: "It turns out that this 'virtue' existed so long ago. It has been around for a long time." Dongsheng wiped his tears, "People in the village just thought it was more useful to give birth to a boy at first. Daughters are also children, and they cherish them too." Ran Ranmo said with a face: "But inequality has already occurred. If no one changes it, this subtle gap will only get bigger as time goes by."
Dongsheng cried silently, and she took a moment to calm down before continuing. "It is indeed becoming more and more unequal, and the inequality is getting worse. Boys are better off than girls and it is gradually invading every corner of Good Village." "In Good Village, many rules have been formed unconsciously that put men first in everything." Dongsheng looked at Ran Ran helplessly, "Those rules are not written in black and white, nor are they passed down orally by everyone." "They are invisible and intangible, but everyone follows them and everyone believes in them." "Everyone acquiesced." Shen Dinghai couldn't stand listening anymore. He felt as if a huge furnace was surrounding him, making him restless. Ran Ran calmly looked back and said softly: "What about?" Dongsheng was stunned for a while with his mouth open, and then suddenly said: "The simplest example is the water canal at the door of every house. The water in it becomes shallow during the dry season, so the village has built steps so you can walk down to fetch water." "But the height of the steps was built according to the height of the men in the village." "They can bend down and pick up the water easily, but women have to bend down to the point of great difficulty to reach the water." Dongsheng's face was full of confusion. "But the men in the village don't have to fetch water to work."
