Chapter 154: The Entire Village Is Rotten
Jiang Yuan sat in the car, the car window lowered halfway. She looked at the towering mountains that pierced the clouds, her slender brows furrowed tightly.
“Jiang Yuan.” Meng Xiaokai leaned over and tapped the car window, “Aren’t you tired? Get out and walk around.”
As soon as Jiang Yuan opened the car door and got out, she saw Little Mo Yan fly over from not far away, seemingly bringing another bird, like a magpie.
“Yuan Yuan!” Little Mo Yan shouted, “Yan is here!”
Jiang Yuan’s eyebrows slightly raised, and she extended her hand. The little one immediately folded its wings and landed on the tiger’s mouth of her right hand.
“Yuan Yuan, Yan brought a new friend.” Little Mo Yan introduced her, “This is a bird from the village, its name is Little Gray. It says it knows many things. Yuan Yuan, you can ask it, but after you ask, you have to treat it to a grand feast.”
The corner of Jiang Yuan’s lips curled into a faint smile, “Little Mo Yan, you are so smart.”
To actually know to invite a local bird over!
“Hehe, Yuan Yuan, you’ve made Yan so proud!” Little Mo Yan said shyly.
Jiang Yuan said with a smile, “I’m telling the truth, you should be proud, you have the right to be proud.”
Little Mo Yan was indeed the smartest among the swallows she knew.
She extended her other hand towards Little Gray, which was circling in front of her.
Little Gray, imitating Little Mo Yan, landed on the tiger’s mouth of her left hand, its two little bean-like eyes curiously staring at her, “You can actually understand birds talking. Birds have never met such a magical human before. The scent on you is so pleasant.”
“Thank you for the praise,” Jiang Yuan said gently, “Little Gray, do you know about Yongshan Village?”
“The bird knows many things,” Little Gray nodded its little head as if pecking, “Even if the bird doesn’t know, it can ask relatives and friends.”
“That’s wonderful.” Jiang Yuan glanced sideways at Meng Xiaokai, “Xiaokai, can you open the car door for me?”
“It’s my honor.” Meng Xiaokai darted forward and opened the car door.
Jiang Yuan got into the car with the two little birds.
She took out bird food and said to Little Gray, “You eat something first, and I’ll ask you a few more questions later.”
Little Gray had never seen such high-quality food before. It let out an excited chirp and began to devour the meal.
Jiang Yuan looked at Little Mo Yan and asked softly, “Did you see how they treated He Yingying just now?”
“Yes!” Little Mo Yan nodded, “That scumbag male revealed his true colors. He ignored He Yingying and even had someone lock He Yingying up.”
He Yingying, locked in the small dark room, banged on the door forcefully and shouted hysterically, “Let me out! Li Cheng, what do you mean? Why are you treating me like this?”
“Stop shouting.” A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
He Yingying screamed in fright, “Who! Who’s talking?”
“We can’t escape.” The woman’s despairing look was strikingly similar to a calm and collected person.
“Who are you?” He Yingying choked out, “Where is this place?”
“This… is hell,” the woman said, and then laughed maniacally, “It’s hell on earth!”
Fear filled He Yingying’s heart, and she banged on the door more fiercely, “Let me out! I have money, I can give you money! Li Cheng, I want to see Li Cheng!”
She never dreamed she would encounter such a terrible thing.
He Yingying recalled her experiences with Li He’an during this period and collapsed, slapping herself across the face.
That man was so abnormal, and she hadn’t even noticed…
“Are you saying that besides He Yingying, there were other women in that small dark room?” Jiang Yuan’s expression was solemn.
Si Heng got into the car and sat in the driver’s seat, quietly listening to her communicate with the birds.
“Yes!” Little Mo Yan nodded vigorously.
Jiang Yuan frowned and asked, “Did you see how many women were locked inside?”
“It was too dark to see clearly,” Little Mo Yan said, “There were at least three. One was talking to He Yingying, and another was lying by the window.”
“I understand,” Jiang Yuan nodded, gently stroking its head with her fingertip, “You’ve worked hard.”
Little Mo Yan shook her head forcefully, “It’s not hard, not hard at all! I’m so happy to be able to help Yuan Yuan.”
The serious expression on Jiang Yuan’s face softened slightly, and the corner of her lips curved, “Thank you for being so good to me.”
Little Mo Yan said seriously, “Because Yuan Yuan is even better to Yan, and helped Yan’s friend Tutu.”
Jiang Yuan smiled and looked at Little Gray beside her, asking softly, “Little Gray, can I ask you a question?”
“Yes, yes!” Little Gray responded indistinctly while pecking, “Beautiful and generous human, please ask anything, the bird will tell you everything it knows.”
Jiang Yuan said slowly, “Did you see what Little Mo Yan said about the male humans in the village locking a female human in a small dark room?”
“Of course!” Little Gray looked up, its small dark bean-like eyes staring at her, “This kind of thing happens often, what’s strange about it?”
“It happens often?” Jiang Yuan asked, frowning.
“Yes,” Little Gray stopped pecking, “The bird sees it often. Is there something wrong with this?”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s heart suddenly sank.
This kind of thing was already normal in Little Gray’s eyes; it even felt that doing so was right.
What about the people in the village?
What about the children in the village?
Growing up in this environment, they were probably fed unhealthy ideas from birth.
Was Li He’an like this?
“Did you hear them talk about why they were doing this?” Jiang Yuan asked again.
“It seems to be… for money?” Little Gray said, “They say that as long as they have money, they can live whatever life they want in the future!”
Little Gray blinked its little bean-like eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, can the bird ask a question too? What exactly is money? Why do the male humans in the village like it so much?”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes flickered, and she murmured, “Money… can bring happiness, and it can also lead to depravity. It is the source of all evil.”
Little Gray couldn’t understand these words.
It thought for a moment but couldn’t figure it out, so it lowered its head and continued to enjoy the grand feast.
Such a grand feast was rare, it had to eat more, there wouldn’t be another chance in the future!
Jiang Yuan looked at it, hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, “Little Gray, do you know where those females locked in the small dark room finally went?”
How they treated those innocent girls…
“Hmm…” Little Gray stopped and thought for a moment, “Some went to live in the homes of male humans, and some seemed to be sent elsewhere in things with four wheels. As for where they were sent, the bird doesn’t know.”
Jiang Yuan’s curled eyelashes trembled slightly. After a long silence, she spoke again, “Our guess was correct.”
She lifted her eyelids and met the man’s dark, deep eyes, her tone laced with strong disgust and anger, “The entire village is rotten to the core!”
Si Heng’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, his back molars clenched tightly, and he said solemnly, “They won’t have any more chances.”
