Chapter 158: Save Me, I Want To Go Home
To avoid arousing the villagers’ suspicion, Jiang Yuan could not go to the scene herself and had to entrust the mission to Little Mo Yan and Little Gray.
Her heart pounded like a drum, worried that Little Mo Yan wouldn’t be able to persuade the livestock that the family kept.
“Yuan Yuan, Yan will try my best!” Little Mo Yan could feel Jiang Yuan’s anxious emotions, “If I can’t persuade them to help, Yan will sabotage it myself!”
Jiang Yuan reached out and touched its feathers, smiling, “Thank you, Little Mo Yan.”
“You’re welcome!” After saying that, Little Mo Yan flew out the window with Little Gray.
Jiang Yuan stood by the window, watching their figures gradually merge with the night, her brow furrowing tighter and tighter, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.
If her plan failed, He Yingying would have to spend the rest of her life healing from today’s trauma.
“Don’t put psychological pressure on yourself,” Si Heng walked to her side, his tone calm, “You’ve already done your best.”
“Yes, Jiang Yuan,” Xiao Xu also walked over, linking her arm, “We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.”
Jiang Yuan knew they were worried about her, and her heart felt warm. A faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips, “Thank you all.”
“I think Jiang Yuan, you should see a psychologist and get some counseling when you have time,” Meng Xiaokai suggested seriously.
“Right,” Chen Ziqi also agreed, “I’ll teach you how to make an appointment when we get back, it’s free.”
In their line of work, one needed to have a strong heart.
In less than half a year, Jiang Yuan had encountered so many cases; her mental state was bound to have problems.
Si Heng frowned, a hint of self-blame flashing through his mind.
He had actually overlooked such an important matter.
Listening to everyone’s caring words, Jiang Yuan nodded solemnly, “Okay, then I’ll trouble you to teach me how to make an appointment when we get back.”
Meng Xiaokai said cheerfully, “Speaking like that, we’re all friends, no need to be polite.”
After about a minute, Jiang Yuan’s expression turned serious, “I still think we can’t just wait here. I need to think of another way.”
If Little Mo Yan and the others failed, He Yingying wouldn’t be defiled by that scum with a short leg.
“What do you have in mind?” Si Heng asked softly.
Jiang Yuan’s dark pupils glanced at him, “I saw snakes nearby during the day upstairs.”
“Snakes!” Xiao Xu’s pupils contracted slightly, and she couldn’t help but shiver, “That’s too scary!”
“Do you understand snake language too?” Meng Xiaokai looked at her in shock.
“I should be able to,” Jiang Yuan had snake language in her dictionary, but she hadn’t interacted with snakes before.
“Should be?” Chen Ziqi frowned disapprovingly, “What if communication fails and it bites you?”
He Lewei also chimed in, “It’s not convenient to go to the hospital from this remote area.”
Jiang Yuan knew they were worried about her and said gently, “It won’t happen, I’m confident.”
Si Heng asked solemnly, “How confident are you?”
“Eighty percent,” Jiang Yuan answered conservatively.
Si Heng pondered for a few seconds, his deep eyes looking at her again, “Then let’s try. I’ll go out with you to find snakes.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Then let’s go now.”
“Then I’ll go too!” Meng Xiaokai said quickly.
Chen Ziqi was not to be outdone, “Count me in.”
Xiao Xu was very afraid of snakes and said weakly, “Then I… I’ll wait here for your good news.”
“It’s okay, Si Heng and I will be fine going alone,” Jiang Yuan explained, “Too many people might scare them away.”
“Alright, then you be careful,” Chen Ziqi exhorted.
“Got it,” Jiang Yuan and Si Heng went downstairs together.
The two opened the door and went out, going around the building. Using the faint light from their mobile phones, they walked into the wildly growing weeds.
Little Mo Yan and Little Gray arrived at Aunt Mei’s house.
They felt that the pigs were the largest and likely the most capable of sabotage, so they went to persuade the pigs in the pen first.
Unexpectedly, after only a few words, the pigs began to doze off, their snores rising and falling.
Little Mo Yan was anxious, “These pigs are too detestable! They fell asleep before Yan could finish speaking!”
“No choice, they’re pigs after all,” Little Gray was more philosophical.
“This is infuriating!” Little Mo Yan was very angry and retaliated by pecking at the pigs, but they continued to sleep soundly.
Little Mo Yan knew she couldn’t waste time on these pigs, so she went to find dogs.
Aunt Mei’s family only had one Big Yellow Dog, which was lazily curled up on the ground.
“Do you want to eat meat?” Little Mo Yan flew in front of it.
The Big Yellow Dog stared at the suddenly appearing little bird, and vigilance instantly appeared in its eyes.
It did not answer Little Mo Yan’s question, but instead assumed an attacking stance.
“Friend dog, I know a human who has a lot of meat, do you want to eat it?” Little Mo Yan asked again.
The next second, the Big Yellow Dog suddenly lunged at it.
Little Mo Yan retreated in fright, losing a few feathers to its sharp claws.
“What’s wrong with you, dog?” Little Mo Yan narrowly patted her chest with her wing, “Yan was talking to you nicely, and if you didn’t answer, you even scared Yan!”
The Big Yellow Dog barked loudly, “This king has no time for you!”
Little Mo Yan: “…”
Encountering an unreasonable dog, what bad luck!
“This dog is brainless, it won’t work,” Little Mo Yan turned her head and said to Little Gray, “Switch!”
“Okay,” Little Gray flew towards the chicken coop.
Little Mo Yan also followed and said to the chickens in the coop, “Hello, can you do me a favor? Yan will give you delicious food.”
A rooster asked curiously, “What favor?”
In the room.
He Yingying was woken up by a bucket of cold water.
She opened her eyes and saw the face covered in black spots, almost fainting again.
Aunt Mei leaned over and examined her carefully.
Seeing her, He Yingying immediately grabbed her clothes and choked out, “Auntie, please save me, I want to go home…”
“Little girl,” Aunt Mei forcefully pried her hand away and said with a fake smile, “Since you’re here, live here peacefully and have a good life with Bangzi. If you can have a few fat sons for Bangzi, we definitely won’t treat you badly.”
“What did you say?” He Yingying’s eyes widened in terror, and she trembling asked, “You want me to have his sons?”
“That’s right,” Aunt Mei nodded, “Our family spent sixty thousand yuan, and you must have at least six sons for Bangzi.”
“Impossible!” He Yingying shook her head desperately, “I’d rather die than have sons for him!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Mei slapped her, “Little girl, you don’t get to choose!”
“You said you spent sixty thousand yuan, right?” He Yingying endured the pain in her cheek and pleaded eagerly, “I have money, I’ll give you double, please let me go, okay?”
“We don’t want money!” Aunt Mei reached out and pinched her chin, patting her face with her other hand, “I want you to have sons for Bangzi! The water is there, clean yourself up, and you need to give birth tonight!”
