Chapter 42



Chapter 42: Dirt Road Three

The leash on her body pulled her out.

The mute woman didn’t know whether it was really crazy or fake. She stumbled and walked behind Mercury, Mercury grabbed her hand, firstly to prevent her from running away suddenly and making any noise, and secondly Take her to go faster.

Mercury walked along the road out of the village, but did not directly walk on the only mountain road out of the village, but climbed a mountain next to the village. The mountain is relatively small, and occasionally there are people on the mountain to collect firewood. From this mountain, you can clearly see the situation on the other side of the village.

, but in the end it followed.

The most surprising thing for Mercury is that this woman did not go crazy as she imagined, even if she did not take her to the road that left, but turned to the mountain, the woman still She followed her without saying a word.

Mercury found a hidden bush, and could observe the village and the crossing, and there was a stream nearby. She sat down, asked the dumb woman to sit together, took out the ration she prepared earlier and gave her some.

“Eat, eat, we can leave at night.”

It is early morning, and in Mercury’s plan, they have to wait here for a day, because she has to use the time of the day to do something.

Mercury has always been patient, she is only afraid that the dumb woman will be impatient and do something that will affect her plan. Take time to rest on the tree trunk.

There are more than 20 households in this village, almost all of them gathered in front of Liu’s house and in the yard. I don’t know what kind of scene they saw inside. Yes, even the mercury hiding on the mountain here can hear the sound.

After a while, someone from the Niulan family at the head of the village also shouted in a frenzy. After a while, I finally figured out, and someone organized the men in the village to chase the guy out of the village.

On the mountain over there, Mercury watched the men in the village with knives and hoes, and angrily chased them out along the mountain road, twitching the corners of his mouth. This development was not what she expected.

They guessed that Liu Xiangxue murdered and escaped, and their first reaction must be to chase down the mountain road to chase him back, and they didn’t know that the second child of the Liu family was also dead, they just thought he went to the county seat, Now I must go to the county town to call people back.

on a nearby mountain.

When all the men in the village had left, and he had already walked a long mountain road, Mercury turned his wrist and decided to do it now.

Just a dumb woman…

“You wait for me here, I will go down and burn their houses, and I will come back after the fire is finished.”

The mute woman looked at her.

Mercury said again: “You can’t make a noise, don’t make any noise, or I’ll gag you and tie you here.”

The mute woman shrank back suddenly, covered her mouth, and remained motionless. At this moment, Mercury suddenly felt that she was not a fool.

Glancing at her, Mercury did not tie her in the end. She slipped down the mountain by herself, followed the path that she had found out in the past two days, and secretly returned to Liu’s house.

The Liu family is still the same, probably because the scene is too scary, no one dares to go in and clean up, after the people who watch the lively leave, the remaining old and weak women and children in the village no one dares to approach this dead man again man’s house.

Mercury had no psychological burden. After entering Liu’s house, she took flammable hay under the stove, and took out the oil hidden under the straw, and put it in Liu’s house, she entered again The room of the old woman and old man Liu was on fire with the quilts and curtains pulled.

It was confirmed that the flammables in several rooms were burning, and the mercury carried oil and a bundle of dry wood along the corner to the back wall of another house.

She is like a shadow, silently choosing a house with no one at home. Many people’s dry wood is placed in the kitchen, so the most flammable is the kitchen. The grain has just been dried and put away. Most people have not had time to put it in the cellar. It is also easy to burn. The room where important items and money are stored at home is generally the room of the elderly, which also needs to be burned.

The fire and smoke from Liu’s house attracted the attention of most people. Many people who stayed at home went to watch the fun. To burn other people’s houses, she couldn’t sneak in and burn someone at home, so she poured oil and set a fire from the back of the house. Even if they couldn’t burn too many important things, it was enough for them to panic for a while.

Today is a good day, the autumn is crisp, the sky is cloudless, there is a gust of wind, and the air is very dry.

Burned to ashes, he could only sit on the ground and pat his thighs for a while, crying and crying.

Mercury wears the gray protruding inconspicuous, taking advantage of the random run into the mountain, and makes a big circle back to the original road out of the village. She returned to the original mountainside, and found that the dumb woman was leaning against the tree trunk and covering her mouth, the same posture as when she left, without any change.

After running a long lap, Mercury felt very tired, she was sweating a lot, her whole body collapsed, and her throat was sore and dry when the fire was set on fire. She sat by the stream to wash her hands and face, and drank a lot of water before she felt better.

There was thick smoke everywhere at the foot of the mountain, and the fire was even uncontrollable, spreading to the nearby fields, burning the dry firewood and silk awns, and burning all the way to the mountain. The smoke is getting bigger and bigger, and the black ash is floating in the air, like a black snow falling under the blue sky.

Mercury and the mute woman sat quietly looking at the village in the black smoke, no one said a word.

Came back immediately.

When I went out, I found that the house was burnt down and the money and food were gone. Parents, wives and children were sitting on the ground crying. Who did it, how did it happen, and where is the murderer?

For these people, the loss of their houses, food and money is even harder than the loss of a few relatives. Burnt food was rescued.

They should not have the heart to go out of the village to arrest people at this time.

This is the safe escape time calculated by the mercury.

“We’re leaving now.”

Mercury put her bag on her back, grabbed the mute woman’s hand, led her down the mountain, and ran out along the mountain road.

After resting for a while, they regained their strength and both ran very fast. His face was dripping with sweat and his legs were sore, but no one wanted to stop for a moment.

The time they escaped now was earned by Mercury by all means, and every minute and second, maybe someone would chase after them. No matter how powerful she is, facing many able-bodied men, she can’t escape their anger.

A face, but no one cared about it. From the beginning, Mercury pulled the dumb woman to run, and later the two supported each other on the mountain road.

In the boundless night, it seems that the endless mountain road goes one way after the other.

Mercury’s body is a little difficult to see at night, all relying on a vague feeling to move forward, suddenly, Mercury pauses. She seemed to hear human voices and was on the road ahead of the turn. The mute woman didn’t hear it, and Mercury covered her mouth with boundless strength, dragging her to hide in the bushes next to her.

For a while, there was no sound, and Mercury almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, but she never moved.

Finally, there was a little light at the end of the road, and someone came with a dim torch. Those were a few men from the village, and Mercury understood after thinking about it. When the men in the village saw the smoke in the mountains, maybe not all of them came back, but left a few to go to the town to find people, and only came back now.

Either beaten to death with a stick or burned to death.

Even if it was mercury, a cold sweat broke out behind her back at that moment.

She took her breath away and waited for the men to walk over. Those few people were probably in a hurry to go back, and they didn’t pay much attention to the dark woods and forests around them. After they had passed for a while, Mercury got up from the ground and pulled the dumb woman up, and the two walked on the mountain road in silence again.

This time, Mercury listened more carefully to all the sounds on the road, but fortunately there was no accident, they saw the houses in the town when the morning light was faint.

Mercury did not stop in the town, but directly pulled the dumb woman forward. Most of the people in the village often come to this town, and there are people from the village living in the town. It’s not a good thing to be seen by them. She would rather go far.

Leaving that village is only the first step, she must choose a safer path carefully before she can be happy.

At noon, Mercury took the dumb woman to a tattered bus on the side of the road. The bus was going to a county, and Mercury didn’t know where it was.

Short-distance coaches in small places like this always carry passengers on the side of the road. Mercury paid for the ticket, and sat down at any empty seat, even without an ID card.

Neither she nor the mute woman have ID cards, which is a bad thing and a good thing.

Without an ID card, you can’t buy a ticket in a big city, but in the same way, people in that village can’t find them at all, as long as they go to another place for a makeover and try to get a new identity Proof, they will never try to find people back.

Those people have little legal awareness, and they are still accustomed to solving problems in the village themselves, which gives them the privilege of an extra-legal place, but at the same time, they also suffer from the suffering of no legal protection.

After driving for a day and a night, Mercury found a hotel for a day. The people in the village don’t take baths often, and the mercury and the dumb woman are very embarrassed.

“Where is your home, and do you have any relatives? If so, I can help you contact them. If not, I will send you to the police station.” Mercury finally said to the mute woman.

The mute woman was washed and she was surprisingly good-looking, but she was old. She looked at her with tears in her eyes.

Mercury was indifferent: “I won’t take you all the time.”

The mute woman wrote a string of numbers, a phone number. She wrote it so quickly that she seemed to silently recall it countless times.

Mercury tapped the piece of paper: “Your name.”

The mute woman wrote the name.

Mercury glanced at him and got up to borrow the phone. The call was quickly picked up, and Mercury calmly told the person on the other side where their daughter was, and came to pick her up.

There were people crying and laughing over the phone, and she asked her address again and again, and Mercury saw a large family coming to pick them up a day later. It is said that they took the plane first and then transferred the car. The old couple, two young people in their twenties, and a teenage girl.

The mute woman looked at them timidly, and at first did not dare to move forward, until the woman in her fifties stretched out her hand and cried and shouted, she ran over and hugged him.

Mercury didn’t like this scene very much. She was in the bathroom and heard the two young men and a girl whispering in the corridor.

“Eldest sister seems to have been sold into the mountains in recent years, and she seems to have given birth to a child with her… At her age, it’s not easy to live at home.”

“I’m afraid that others will gossip, don’t you feel ashamed, alas, did you see the woman who was with the eldest sister just now, she was also abducted and sold? Do parents still give her to her? money?”

“I want to give some, but I can’t give too much. It’s almost two thousand yuan.”

Mercury washed her hands carefully in the bathroom, looking at the haggard face in the mirror, she thought, in fact, leaving that mountain cage, the damage will not stop, the outside world will continue Give them pain, even worse.

She left here quietly without saying goodbye to the dumb woman with the money she took from Liu’s house.

She will find a way to move on.

You will also find meaning in your life.
