The house in Lijiagou was cold and damp. Su Tian only took off his coat and covered it with the blanket and down jacket of the medical team. He was still too cold to sleep at night.
Because she had been in a daze all the time, she was especially awake when the window was pushed open and the cold wind came in.
She could clearly feel someone crawling in through the window, holding her breath and walking to her bed.
Su Tian closed his eyes, silently counting the time it would take for the nearest person to arrive at his room.
Then, she chose to give up calling for help temporarily.
Panting, the man took off his coat and pressed up.
At this moment, Su Tian pressed the button in his hand.
The cold blade pierced the thin blanket, pierced the man's clothes, and pierced deeply between the man's ribs.
The screams sounded almost simultaneously.
The man scolded the little bitch, and was about to hit Su Tian with a wave of his hand. Su Tian turned his hand, and the blade spun, and the man softened instantly from the pain. With a wail, he quickly backed away and jumped out of the window.
Yu Cai heard the movement, jumped out of bed and rushed over, kicked open the door, the flashlight was on, the windows were still shaking, the cold wind blew in, like a ghost crying.
Turning his head, Su Tian sat on the bed, his face was so calm that it was almost numb, and the white down jacket was bright red.
Yu Cai was dazed, and rushed to Su Tian's window in two steps, pulled the down jacket and thin blanket off her body, and tried to check her body with stiff fingers.
blood...
Su Tian grabbed his cold and hard fingers and said in a tight voice, "I'm fine."
Yu Cai squeezed the bloody down jacket and said, "This..."
Su Tian raised his head, revealing the jumping switchblade in his palm, and said, "It's not mine. This... thank you."
On the way back from the village chief's house, Yu Cai was given this knife to her, saying it was just in case, but she didn't expect it to be used.
Su Tian thought indifferently, it's not surprising to use it at all, ever since she entered the village, eyes have always been on her.
What's more, Lijiagou is a well-known "buy a daughter-in-law village".
At this time, everyone else also ran in.
When Yu Cai turned his head, Bai Qiyuan's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to call him, the boy stood up and said, "Take care of Tiantian for me." He opened the window and jumped out without giving anyone a chance to stop him.
Su Tian got out of bed quickly, stepped on his shoes and ran out.
This madman, took her switchblade away.
Bai Qiyuan and the others quickly followed.
It was bright outside, the snow reflected the moonlight, and the wind was like ice knives.
Su Tian ran forward along the footprints, and as soon as he got out of the courtyard wall, he heard a man's scream not far away.
Bai Qiyuan yelled "Not good", and led a group of men quickly past Su Tian and ran towards the direction where the screams came from.
Su Tian was a girl, and although she had exhausted all her strength, she still fell behind.
When she walked around the courtyard wall, she saw from a distance that the boy pushed the man down, raised the switchblade in his hand high, and was about to stab him down.
Bai Qiyuan and the others ran over wildly, shouting loudly for him to stop, but the boy didn't seem to hear him at all, the blade pierced through the moonlight and stabbed at the top of the man's head.
A silver light flashed,
"No!" Bai Qiyuan's heart almost stopped.
This is an intentional murder. If the child stabbed, his life would be ruined!
"Yu Cai!"
Almost at the same time, Su Tian's shout pierced the night sky.
Bai Qiyuan suddenly closed his eyes, unable to bear to see the scene where the child was completely destroyed.
The wind was almost still.
When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see that the man was still alive.
The switchblade was deeply embedded in the snow beside the opponent's ear.
As the moonlight fell, the man under his pressure was the village head of Lijiagou.
The village chief's ravine-filled face was distorted with horror, his eyes were wide open, and Su Tian could almost see the real fear in his eyes.
The blood spread from him, staining the snow red;
A pale yellow liquid spread from under him, melting a large expanse of snow.
Yu Cai grabbed his throat with one hand, clenched the switchblade with the other, and stood there quietly.
Bai Qiyuan ran over with several technicians, pulling Yu Cai away from the man.
Yu Cai's posture remained unchanged, her dark pupils staring at the village chief.
The village chief almost turned into a puddle of mud, panting wildly after being rescued, but he did not feel the joy of escaping from death at all. The boy's eyes were terribly cold, and he even felt that he had become a dead person in the eyes of the other party.
Fear made him speechless, and there was an eerie gurgle in his throat.
Bai Qiyuan threw the village chief to the others, went to pick the switchblade in the boy's hand, and said angrily, "Give me the knife!"
Yu Cai didn't respond.
Bai Qiyuan was even angrier: "You want to spend the rest of your life in prison, don't you?"
Su Tian ran over, knelt down in front of him, and softly called his name.
The boy finally had a little reaction.
Seeing Su Tian approaching, Bai Qiyuan took a step back and stopped talking.
Su Tian held his hand.
The boy's fingers were so cold that it was almost impossible to tell whether what he was holding was a human finger or a cold knife handle.
She said softly, "Yu Cai, give me the knife, okay?"
The boy raised his head, his dark pupils were covered with a hazy luster.
With grievance in his voice, he said, "He bullied you."
Su Tian smiled, "Then shall we send him to the police station? I want him to go to jail."
Yu Cai pursed her lips and looked at her, stubbornly refusing to let go.
Su Tian shivered and said, "I'm so cold, shall we go back first?"
The boy's stubborn expression finally shook, he slowly let go of his hand, the switchblade fell into the snow, Bai Qiyuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly took it away.
Yu Cai's eyes fell on her feet, she ran too fast, she only had one shoe on her feet, and the other was only wearing socks, stepping on the snow without any cover.
His throat moved.
Su Tian noticed his gaze and smiled embarrassedly, "Ah, I don't know where it fell..."
In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Yu Cai was worse than her. She still had one shoe and one sock. He ran out barefoot, and the soles of his feet stepped directly on the snow, turning red from the cold.
His shoes were not lost, but he was not wearing them when he came out.
The boy didn't realize it, he bent down and picked up Su Tian, and said, "You don't have shoes, I'll carry you back."
Su Tian struggled slightly, wanting to get down, "It's not far, I still have socks, you..."
"No objection allowed."
The boy gave the order with a cold face.
Su Tian opened his eyes wide: "..."
He looked down at her and declared domineeringly: "If you dare to refuse, I will kiss you."
Su Tian: "...!"
Day, this brat is really capable.
Yu Cai carried Su Tian back home, saw her dropped shoes halfway, bent down to pick them up, hooked the shoelaces with her fingers, and carried her back to the house.
At the door of Su Tian's room, she said, "Put me down..."
He walked by without looking sideways, walked straight to the door of his room, opened the door and went in, and put Su Tian on his bed.
Su Tian: "..."
Su Tian rolled into You Dai Yu Wen's bed, a little dazed.
Obviously, they are all rooms with air leakage, creaking wooden beds, and damp quilts, but they have been out for so long, and Yu Cai's quilts are still hot.
Are boys so hot
Yu Cai put her down, stood beside the bed and said, "You sleep here tonight."
Her bed was stained with blood.
Su Tian blinked and asked, "What about you?"
Want to sleep in her room? It's not impossible...
Yu Cai didn't answer, turned around and left the room.
Su Tian lay down under the blanket and sighed comfortably.
It feels good to have someone warming the quilt... Poof, she sat up suddenly, and was surprised to see Yu Cai walking in again with a quilt in her arms.
Su Tian: "It's enough for me to cover with a quilt."
Yu Cai put the quilt on the bed, then sat up on it, and seriously corrected her mistake, "I covered this."
Su Tian: "..."
Yu Cai didn't speak any more, opened a pack of wet towels to wipe his feet clean, went to bed, lay down calmly in the bed, stretched his legs, put his hands on his lower abdomen, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
Su Tian looked at it for a while: "..."
The young man was so natural, she didn't bother to say much, turned around and got under the covers.
Childish ghosts don't care, what does she care about
hehe.
After a while, there were noisy voices outside, it should be Bai Qiyuan and the others who came back.
Then there was a knock on the door, and Bai Qiyuan's voice came from outside:
"Yu Cai, the bleeding has stopped. People from the police station will come and take him away tomorrow. Is Miss Su okay?"
Su Tian: "I'm fine, please..."
"We're going to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Yu Cai suddenly interrupted Su Tian's words.
There was a sudden silence outside, and Su Tian could almost imagine that everyone must be so surprised that their eyes would pop out.
After the silence, it was slightly noisy again, but it soon became quiet again, and everyone should have fallen asleep.
Forget it, she sleeps too.
Su Tian turned to face inward, and fell asleep with his back to Yu Cai.
After a long time, the young man lying in a military posture finally moved slightly. Su Tian didn't respond. He moved slightly again. Su Tian still didn't respond. The young man became more courageous and quietly He turned sideways and looked at her back.
The girl's long, soft hair was scattered on the pillow, and the fragrance was mysterious and lingering. He gently put it close to her, took a deep breath, and almost drowned in it.
He picked up a strand of hair, kissed it lightly, and fell asleep in the warm sweet fragrance of the girl.
Su Tian thought that the people in Lijiagou would clash with them because of the village head, so she didn't dare to sleep to death at night, but she didn't expect that she would sleep until dawn.
When she opened her eyes, she felt strangely uncomfortable in her ears. She reached out and touched them, and they turned out to be sound-proof earplugs.
She quickly took off her earplugs, got out of bed and ran out. Before she could go out, she heard the whistle of the siren and the groans of people outside.
It happened that a researcher hurried in from the outside, Su Tian hurriedly stopped him and asked what was wrong.
The researcher couldn't help gloating when he recalled what happened yesterday, and said, "After breakfast today, the wife of the village chief came with a group and asked us to let her man go..."
Thinking of what the woman said, the researcher curled her lips in displeasure. She even said that her man came to Su Tian because he thought Su Tian had seduced him.
After breakfast, the village head's wife entangled the rest of the "highly respected" clan elders in the village to come to ask for an explanation.
Yu Cai asked them to go to the police station directly, otherwise the medical team would leave from Lijiagou.
So many lives in Lijiagou are in the hands of the medical team, how dare everyone let him go
But what about stabbing the village head and calling the police
In the end, they said that the stabbing of the village head was not a matter of concern to everyone, but they were not allowed to call the police, otherwise the medical team would not be able to leave the village.
The situation was already very tense at that time, and a large group of people rushed out, including men and women, and even teenagers and half-grown children, all of them were holding hoes and other weapons in their hands. If the medical team did not agree , a sign that the war is imminent.
Then, a dramatic scene suddenly came.
First, the elderly with weak resistance, then women and children, and finally young adults, without exception, all fell down and vomited filth everywhere in the yard.
Although the researcher tried his best to control it, gloating still leaked from his words.
Just when Yu Cai came in, the researcher smiled and said, "We just made an emergency call, and someone should be here in a while. I'll go and see if there is anyone who needs to be dealt with."
The researcher withdrew after finishing speaking, leaving Su Tian to Yu Cai.
The boy put on the hat and mask again, and wrapped himself up tightly. Su Tian asked, "Is it poisoning again?"
Yu Cai nodded: "This time it was in the well at Xitou, except for a few who ate little breakfast, basically everyone was poisoned."
The medical team ate the food they brought with them and did not touch the local water source at all, so everything was fine.
Su Tian: "I want to visit the well at the west end."
Yu Cai: "I'll accompany you."
Although almost all the people in Lijiagou were poisoned, some women who had dinner late and a few men survived, and they might be in danger.
Su Tian nodded.
The two changed their clothes and came to the well.
In addition to the mass poisoning incident before, the village arranged for people to keep vigil next to the remaining wells every night, just in case someone was poisoned again.
But after Ye Luo ran out of the village, although the night watchman was still there, everyone relaxed a lot, especially now that it was cold, who didn't want to lie in the warm blanket.
Who would have thought that Ye Luo would go and come back.
The well is very thick, with a diameter of more than one meter. The surrounding is paved with bluestone slabs, which bulge slightly like small soil bumps. There is a thick layer of ice on the ground, which is very slippery. If you are not careful, you will fall into it. in the well.
Yu Cai: "This is the only well in the village. If anyone poisons it, it must come from here."
Su Tian asked: "Have you checked it?"
Yu Cai: "Not yet."
The illness of those people happened just now. The medical team was busy saving people, and they hadn't spared any manpower to deal with it.
Yu Cai: "I have equipment with me, you wait by the side, I will take samples..."
Su Tian: "I'll go too."
If Ye Luo really came back, he should be nearby now, Su Tian was worried about letting Yu Cai go there alone.
Yu Cai didn't speak, and the two of them stepped on the thick ice wearing non-slip shoes with spikes.
Cautiously walking onto the ice, Su Tian saw the dark well water.
The water was not frozen, it was black and shimmering.
Deep, very deep.
It seems to have some kind of magical power, like a big black bottomless mouth, swallowing people in one bite.
Su Tian glanced at it and quickly turned his face away. After watching for a long time, he couldn't help but have the urge to jump down...
There was a bucket for fetching water beside the well, Yu Cai threw the bucket down, and there was a burst of echo.
Ye Luo stood in the woods not far away, watching the two approaching from a distance.
He didn't expect that Yu Cai and the others were not poisoned at all. He knew that they had brought water, so why should he worry about Su Tian reducing the dosage
Seeing Yu Cai walking to the well, a red light flashed in his eyes.
It's very dangerous, he thought lightly, many people have drowned in this well, and several bought women couldn't bear it, and chose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the well.
They stand so close that it only takes a slight push from behind...
Su Tian suddenly said: "If the police intervene, will these villagers who buy people be sentenced?"
Ye Luo paused slightly when he stepped out, and stayed where he was.
The cold wind conveyed the conversation between the two, vague and ethereal, with a sense of unreality.
Although Yu Cai was a little surprised why Su Tian asked this suddenly, he still replied: "Yes, if the purchased population is sent back to their place of origin, they will not be held criminally responsible. Otherwise, according to the facts, they will be punished with detention, rape, and other crimes."
Ye Luo sneered, stopped listening to their nonsense, and continued walking outside.
It's no use, he thought, the law is just a dead letter here.
law
Hehe, Ye Pingsheng also ran out, and even went to the local police station for help. She believed that the police would send her home and catch the bad guys to bring justice to the victims.
However, it turned out that the police brought her back in person.
personally.
What else could he believe
He thought that the topic would end there, just like a charming girl in the city listening to a story, knowing that the bad guys will be punished in the end, and the matter is over.
But unexpectedly, Su Tian went on to say: "But I heard that the police here are in collusion with the local people, and they don't care about buying and selling people at all. So what should we do?"
Yu Cai narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately understood Su Tian's intention of asking this question.
He said: "Don't worry, as soon as Bai Qiyuan's report comes out, all the police chiefs here will have to step down."
Ye Luo was shocked and stopped walking.
What report? Didn't these people come to save those people in the village
How can there be reports
Ye Luo has hardly been out of the village, and all his knowledge of the outside world comes from Ye Pingsheng's narration, just like when he poisoned the well water, he didn't even know that the medical team brought food and water.
He has no way of touching them, let alone understanding them.
He only knew that if the police didn't help him and Ye Pingsheng, he could only avenge himself, and whoever blocked his avenge would be his enemy.
But now someone tells him that the other party can not only help him avenge, but also solve the police who he can't do anything about.
Will those cops... get their comeuppance too
can you
he asked himself, but there was no answer.
"Ye Luo, did you hear that?"
The girl's voice suddenly raised, piercing through the cold wind and piercing into Ye Luo's mind.
He was shocked.
She found herself.
She knew she did it.
she knows…
In the cold wind, the ragged boy stepped out of the ice and snow.
The wind blew his thin clothes, outlining the outline of the boy's sharp bones.
He was so thin that there was only a skeleton left.
The wind whistling, mixed with the creaking sound of feet stepping on the snow, was as desolate as this dilapidated village.
Su Tian turned his head when he heard the voice, Ye Luo, also called Li Duofu, stood there and looked at him silently.
Su Tian showed a comforting smile, "Don't you want to see Xiaomi in the future?"
Ye Luo stepped forward slowly, ignoring Su Tian's words, and asked a little strangely: "The person who bullied you last night, don't you want him to die?"
Ye Luo came to Lijiagou earlier than Su Tian and the others. There was such a big commotion last night, how could he not know about it
He seemed to be asking Su Tian this sentence, but he was actually asking Yu Cai.
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a fatal blow.
Yu Cai thought of the scene he saw when he rushed to Su Tian's room last night, his eyes that were smiling just now immediately darkened, darker than the well water next to him.
He looked at Ye Luo and didn't make a sound.
Ye Luo doesn't know if it's too cold or what, the words seem to be jumping out word by word
He said to Yu Cai: "If you kill him, you will go to jail. Stand by and watch, leave me alone. When they die, I will surrender myself."
This proposal is irresistibly attractive to Yu Cai.
He doesn't have to pay anything, just turn a blind eye and close his eyes, slow down the progress, let the poisoned people suffer slowly, and when they die, he is saying that he has found a cure, and no one can say a word about him wrong.
And when the time comes, Ye Luo will also turn himself in, the case will be closed, and the whole matter will not have any adverse effects on Yu Cai.
Ye Luo asked again: "You don't want him to die?"
"think… "
Yu Cai raised his hands. Last night, it was these hands that strangled that person's neck. It was these hands that held the handle of the knife. Disappeared…
Yu Cai's eyes deepened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I really want to..."
Ye Luo's thin chest heaved violently.
The bitter wind was whistling, and the young man's voice was hoarse and ethereal, but unexpectedly clear.
"...but Tiantian doesn't like it."
!
Ye Luo: "...!"
Su Tian smiled, "I want him to go to jail more, death is sometimes a relief, it's too cheap for him."
Ye Luo: "..."
He looked at Su Tian in surprise. He thought that Su Tian was just a dainty girl from a big city, innocent, innocent, full of compassion, and extremely patient with poor people and animals.
But now, he found that he was wrong.
Yu Cai looked back at Su Tian, his dark pupils filled with a warm smile again.
Sweet is so kind, he thought.
Su Tian waved at Ye Luo, "Let's discuss how to get the local police punished, don't you want to?"
The girl stood in the ice and snow, smiling, holding out her gloved hand.
Fluffy and warm like a little sun.
Ye Luo seemed to be bewitched for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he had already walked in front of the two of them.
Su Tian pulled the two of them to squat down, and said, "Bai Qiyuan and I discussed on the way here. We wanted to find a trafficked woman to help her escape and let her go to the police. We will take evidence of the collusion of the local police."
Ye Luo looked up at her, Su Tian smiled back, "I have found my target."
…
After the three of them discussed their plans together, Ye Luo said to Yu Cai: "The poison among them is that I never..."
Yu Cai interrupted him suddenly, "Don't tell me, I will find out the answer myself."
Ye Luo: "..."
He stood up and looked at Su Tian:
"When the matter is over, I will surrender myself."
Su Tian smiled and said: "This is your business, you choose it yourself."
Whether to continue to escape, or to pay the price for what he has done, no one can make a choice for him.
Even if Su Tian has a systematic mission, he can't.
Everyone is responsible for their own choices.
Ye Luo was silent for a while, then turned to leave, he walked a few steps, stopped suddenly, turned around and asked, "Do you know I'm here?"
Su Tian blinked, "I don't know, I guess you should be nearby, and I lied to you, but you are really there."
Ye Luo: "..."
Yu Cai smiled and rolled his eyes, his sweetness is really smart.
Su Tian and Yu Cai met the village chief's daughter-in-law on the way back, and the woman was not poisoned.
Seeing Su Tian, she turned around to avoid it, but was stopped by Su Tian.
Su Tian ran over and asked, "Sister, are you okay? Did you let us check?"
The woman seemed afraid to look at Su Tian, she nodded while avoiding her face, and said in a hoarse voice, "I haven't eaten breakfast, I'm fine."
Something happened to the village chief. Last night, her mother-in-law took her to find the old man in the village crying and begging for a decision. She listened numbly. She didn't want to eat, but she escaped a catastrophe because of it.
Yu Cai followed behind Su Tian, listening to her talking to the woman.
When I met other researchers on the road, everyone looked at Su Tian with admiration in their eyes. They didn't understand why she was so charming, and she could get the intimacy of strangers with just a few words.
Yu Cai lowered his eyes, only he knew how much effort Tiantian had spent in order to get close to her goal.
Bai Qiyuan is the little prince of dialects. Su Tian followed Bai Qiyuan to learn the dialects of various places along the way, and remembered the landmark events in each region, in order to be able to adapt to changes.
Throughout the journey, she was looking at various materials.
When they were approaching the door of the village chief's house, the two had already exchanged names. The woman's name was Wei Yunxia, Su Tian called her Sister Wei, and she called Su Tian Tiantian.
Before parting, Wei Yunxia looked at Su Tian and hesitated to speak: "Tiantian, when are you going to leave?"
Su Tian: "Tomorrow night, we will leave when most of the patients are settled."
Wei Yunxia: "...Let's go early... Fortunately, you're fine..."
Su Tian looked around, and whispered: "Sister Wei, I'm actually a little scared, last night..."
Wei Yunxia's heart twitched, and she remembered that when she was just sold, she was about the same age as Su Tian at that time, and she would be tied here for the rest of her life, tied to a sick child.
Later, when the sick child died, she...
Su Tian: "Sister Wei, I will go back to Province H a few years ago, do you want to go back with us?"
go back together
Wei Yunxia shook her head quickly as if she was frightened, bid farewell to Su Tian in a hurry, and ran into the village chief's house.
Yu Cai: "She's scared."
Su Tian: "But she knows that this is her best chance to escape from the village, and she will never have it again in the future."
Almost all the people in the village were poisoned, and with the help of the medical team, if she didn't seize the opportunity, it would be impossible for her to escape in her life.
As soon as Su Tian and Yu Cai returned to their residence, they saw several police cars with local license plates parked at the door.
The two looked at each other. Could it be that they came to investigate the poisoning case
Pushing open the door and entering, a group of police officers stood in the yard, and all the researchers pushed to the ground, including Bai Qiyuan.
Su Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked at the pinhole camera on Bai Qiyuan's body.
Fortunately, fortunately, it was still on him and was not found.
The heart she was holding finally fell to the ground slowly.
At first, a policeman strode over and asked Su Tian, "Are you Su Tian?",
Su Tian: "I am."
The policeman turned his head and said to the people behind him: "Take it away!"
!
Yu Cai stretched out her hand to hold Su Tian behind her, blocked the two policemen who came forward, and asked the one in front, "Why did you arrest her?"
The corner of the man's mouth curled up, and he smiled: "Illegal possession of controlled knives, and the crime of intentional injury. Is that enough?"
As soon as the words fell, two more policemen came up immediately, pulled Yu Cai away without any explanation, and handcuffed Su Tian.
A hero does not suffer from immediate losses, Su Tian did not resist from the beginning to the end.
But the other party's actions were very rude, and she still couldn't hold back the pain on her face.
Yu Cai who was pulled away suddenly threw away the people around him, went up to pull away the man who was handcuffing Su Tian, and gave him a hard kick.
He stood up straight and said coldly, "I attacked the police, and they arrested me too."
Su Tian: "...!"
The idiot!
The man froze for a moment, then sneered, "I'll make you happy. Someone, take this away with me."
Both Su Tian and Yu Cai were detained and taken to the car outside.
As soon as they left, Bai Qiyuan hurriedly called Ji Shaoheng.
It's over, something big has happened.
