The village head's wife is a fat aunt, she poured tea for them. It's not a good tea, but it should be the best thing they can bring out.
Lin Qingqing was drinking tea when a ball came from somewhere and landed at her feet, she picked it up and saw a woman with dishevelled hair and dirty body and face suddenly rushed over to ask her for it.
Lin Qingqing returned the ball to her, and the woman smiled at her, revealing two missing front teeth: "Thank you!" She reached out and took it, and Lin Qingqing noticed that the ring finger and little finger of her right hand were broken.
Lin Qingqing subconsciously frowned, but naturally she would not ask more about people's physical defects and politely removed her eyes. However, she was surprised that in such a backward mountain village, such a seemingly vulgar village woman could issue such a standard English accent.
The fat aunt came forward, pulled the village woman over and pushed her back to the house, then apologized to them and said in not very fluent Mandarin: "Sorry, she is my daughter-in-law, she is a little out of her mind, does it scare you?"
Everyone naturally hurriedly answer it doesn't matter.
Lin Qingqing did not think too much, after drinking tea, she went to the shooting place with Mo Qingyan. Mo Qingyan's task was to help a family to grow wheat, Mo Qingyan followed the example and followed the aunt to hoe and sow wheat seeds in the planed ground. Occasionally she would have a chat with the aunt, and there were two cameras to follow the whole process.
Lin Qingqing waited here for a while and didn't wait for Mu Cong to come over, so she planned to find him and ask the director if he needed to arrange a plot.
The place where Mo Qingyan filmed was not in the village, and it was still a long way back to the village, there was an abandoned small temple at the entrance of the village, when Lin Qingqing walked to the temple, she saw a man in a white coat coming this way. At a glance, she recognized that the man was Xiang Huayang.
Now Lin Qingqing doesn't have much feeling to see Xiang Huayang, she is married and has children, let bygones be bygones. Although it's a bit awkward, Lin Qingqing still says hello by smiling and nodding at him.
"Qingqing." Xiang Huayang stopped her.
Lin Qingqing stopped and frowned at him, although he used to call her that, she felt a sense of discomfort when she heard him call her that again.
"What's the matter?"
Her expression was very cold, he didn't know how to speak for a while. After a moment of silence, he asked: "How are you?"
It's been so long, don't know why he asked such a question.
Lin Qingqing said: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
"I heard you had amnesia?"
"From who did you hear that? Lu Wenqian?" Lu Wenqian is probably the only one who knows about her amnesia.
"En."
Lin Qingqing didn't understand what he meant when he mentioned her amnesia, but: "I do have amnesia, but just because I don't remember the past doesn't mean something hasn't happened."
Lin Qingqing did not want to talk to him more, she turned to go, but suddenly Xiang Huayang grabbed her hand, he acted in a hurry, as if grabbing her fingers was just a subconscious action.
Lin Qingqing's face became cold, Xiang Huayang also realized his lost control and quickly released her hand and said: "I'm sorry."
"Do you have anything else?"
"I......" He looked at her and was silent for a long time. "Would you believe me if I said I regretted it?"
"Regret?"
"Yes, I regret it. Do you think I deserve it?"
"......"
She doesn't know much about Xiang Huayang, she really doesn't understand why he suddenly told her this and why he specifically told her he regretted it.
Lin Qingqing is a little angry, trying to calm down and say to him: "You don't need to tell me this, I'm married and have children and live a happy life, whether you deserve it or not has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, he paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I said too much."
The small temple next to it is not very big, and both sides of it are roads leading to the village, because the small temple is very shabby and has no windows, you can see the opposite side of the small temple from here.
Lin Qingqing and Xiang Huayang had nothing to say. They were going to leave, but accidentally saw a familiar figure appear at the side of the small temple, she recognized that it was Mu Cong.
Just when she had something to ask him, she planned to go through the small temple to find him, but when she walked to the small temple, she found that Mu Cong was still with a person, or rather Mu Cong dragged the person all the way here.
Lin Qingqing saw this, and the words that were about to call him were swallowed, the person pulled by Mu Cong, Lin Qingqing also knew her, she was the silly daughter-in-law in the fat aunt's house.
Shet saw Mu Cong pull her to the outside of the small temple, hurriedly lift up the clothes on her arm, she was wearing thick big flower cotton padded jacket, Mu Cong lifted up the sleeves of the clothes for a long time, don't know what he saw on her arm, his body suddenly stiffened down, his eyes were staring at the face of the silly daughter-in-law, and he backed away and said: "No, no, I recognize the wrong person I must have identified the wrong person."
Having said this, he left in a panic.
Lin Qingqing felt very strange, the veteran cadre like Mu Cong have always been calm and collected, what did he sees that made him lose his appearance like that?
The silly daughter-in-law was still standing there, Lin Qingqing went out and saw her scratching her elbow with her fingertips, making a strange sound at the same time.
Lin Qingqing looks at her elbow, but there seems to be a scar on it. Lin Qingqing is puzzled and approaches a little bit, so she can see that what is on her elbow is not a scar, but a birthmark, a butterfly shaped birthmark, she has seen it before.
In the picture of Mu Cong and his girlfriend, there is such a birthmark on her arm.
"She's not dead, she's missing, fifteen years ago."
"it happened fifteen years ago, when there were not so many eyes in the sky, and she disappeared when they were on holiday. In a very remote place, Mu Cong would go back to the missing place these years, but he couldn't find her for so long."
"It's a pity for that girl, too. if she develops well, she will definitely not be inferior to the current popular star."
"After reporting to the police, a large number of police forces were deployed at that time ,but there was still nothing. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air."
Lin Qingqing remembered that she had heard these words, she suddenly thought of this place as if it was not far from the place where Mu Cong's girlfriend disappeared. Now she has to wonder if Mu Cong took over this documentary because the place where the documentary was filmed was not far away from the place where her girlfriend disappeared.
Lin Qingqing could not believe it, she looked at the woman in front of her, her eyes were dull, her hair was dishevelled, her face was sallow, her teeth were missing, her face was dirty, and she was stained with some brown and black, she didn't know what it was.
She couldn't relate her to the beautiful girl in the picture she had seen.
Why is this happening and why is she here?
At this moment, Lin Qingqing suddenly realized why she felt strange when she first entered the village.
Nowadays, domestic transportation is developed, and many young people in rural areas choose to work in big cities, so the majority of those who stay in rural areas are old people, children and women, but there are obviously more men than women in this village.
And the men looked plain, simple and honest, but when their eyes fell on them, they were obviously strange and greedy, as if they were staring at their prey.
Xiang Huayang hadn't left yet, he followed Lin Qingqing to come over and looked at her face, which seemed to have been struck by lightning, Xiang Huayang worried: "What's the matter?"
"We have to get out of here now!"
Lin Qingqing hurried forward, she took out her cell phone and took a look at it, but there was not even a signal on the phone.
Lin Qingqing returned to the village, only to find that several large round tables were set up in the courtyard flatland in the village, the villagers were serving food, the photographers had already come back. After washing their hands, they sat down on the table and chatted with the villagers. It seemed that they were happy.
Lin Qingqing looked around and didn't see Mu Cong, she found Ran Nan and pulled her aside and said to her: "We have to get out of here quickly."
Ran Nan was a little confused by her serious expression and asked: "What's the matter?"
Lin Qingqing said: "Do you still remember Meng Tian? The girl who made her debut at the same time as you, Mu Cong's girlfriend."
"Remember, why?"
"The silly daughter-in-law we just saw in the village, the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, is her."
"......"
Ran Nan obviously has a face that looks like you are teasing me.
"I have seen Meng Tian's photo, she has a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her hand. It is a very special birthmark, I just saw the same birthmark on the arm of that silly daughter-in-law."
"Really?" Ran Nan's expression gradually became dignified.
Lin Qingqing nodded: "I suspect she was abducted and sold here when she disappeared, maybe the people in this village are the traffickers who abducted her here. Anyway, it's good to be on guard, we'd better leave as soon as possible."
Ran Nan's face was deep in thought for a while, then nodded at Lin Qingqing.
After a brief discussion, ran Nan went up to the fat aunt and said: "I'm not feeling well, I want to go down the mountain to have a look. You don't have to wait for us to eat."
The fat aunt was talking enthusiastically with a smile on her face, but when she heard ran Nan's words, she frowned and said: "What's wrong? Don't you have doctors with you?"
Ran nan said: "Although the doctors followed us, the medicine was not very complete, so we had to go down the mountain to buy it."
Lin Qingqing also said: "We'll be back in a few minutes, girls are naturally delicate." Lin Qingqing tried to make her expression more natural, she winked at Mo Qingyan's face and said. "Qingyan, let's go."
The biggest threat to stay here is the girls, so they plan to take all the girls down the mountain first, and then call the police.
Mo Qingyan also did not ask more, nodded and walked beside Lin Qingqing. Ran Nan also called the other two female stars she had brought, but it is inevitable that there will be pig teammates in a team.
"Ran Nan, were you just fine? Why do you feel sick all of a sudden? The villagers have prepared their meals. Isn't it not good to leave at this time?" Liang Xin made a difficult face. "Qingqing, do you dislike the villagers' food? Ran Nan was just fine. After you said a few words to her, she cried out to leave, you are now a rich lady. You are used to delicacies all over the world. You can't understand the poor food in the countryside."
Liang Xin probably really doesn't like her very much. No matter what the occasion, she always has to say a few word to her to be happy. Ran Nan probably thought Liang Xin was a stupid pig too, she stared at her directly, winked at her, and then explained to fat aunt and others in a good voice: "Don't get me wrong, I'm going down the mountain because I'm really not feeling well."
The fat aunt said: "Then why did you take them all with you? You don't need so many people to buy medicine at the foot of the mountain, do you? Why don't I ask my youngest son to buy it for you, tell me what medicine you want."
Ran Nan sniffed at the corner of her mouth: "Don't bother so much, we'll just go by ourselves."
The fat aunt said: "There's no hurry, the food is ready, and it's not too late for you to eat. Besides, it's all fine just now, so it's not necessarily uncomfortable all of a sudden, is it?"
Lin Qingqing and Ran Nan looked at each other, and it was obvious that they both sensed that the fat aunt did not want them to go down the mountain, Lin Qingqing suddenly had a bad feeling.
Unexpectedly, pig teammate Liang Xin also deliberately put on an understanding look and said: "Everyone is psychologically prepared to endure hardship when they come to this place to shoot, this is the best thing the villagers can give us, shouldn't we be grateful? We work and suffer together with the villagers in front of the camera, but we don't think it's too hurtful to do so when we don't in front of the camera?"
When she said this, it seemed that Lin Qingqing and others were very unreasonable. Several photographers at the other table had already started eating, and they probably did not understand the behavior of Lin Qingqing and others.
Lin Qingqing analyzed the current situation, there are 8 women and 10 men on their side, while there are at least 20 men in the village. Although there are fewer women, there are also more than 10, and they are far from enough in number. In addition, these village women in the village often work hard and have great strength, and a woman can match one of their men, it is not good for them to tear their faces.
"The little girl is right, these are the best things we can come up wit, just make do with them. I'll let my two sons go down the mountain to buy some good things to entertain you this afternoon."
The fat aunt said very sincerely, and her face was dark and simple. When she said this, she gave people a feeling of being pitiful and difficult, which made perople look down on Lin Qingqing and others all the more!
Even several photographers along with them also made voices of dissatisfaction.
The present situation is very difficult, aunt Pang have repeatedly blocked them from going down the mountain, Lin Qingqing's conjecture is eight to nine right. If they insist, they will not be able to beat them, they can't walk away, and they can't call the police without a cell phone signal, so what are they going to do now?
She looked at the food and after knowing that these people were up to no good, she really did not dare to eat any more of their food. In case something was added to it, they would really have no way out.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, they saw that Mu Cong came out of nowhere, he felt like he had suffered a heavy blow, the whole person seemed to be in a trance. and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. However, he suddenly saw the eldest son of the village head's family, that is, the husband of the silly daughter-in-law, but his (T/N: Mu Cong)eyes were red and his eyes were filled with anger, he was like an enraged beast, with a roar, he pounced on the man.
"I killed you! I killed you!"
He rushed to grab the man's neck, and the man showed no weakness, kicked him, and the two quickly wrestled together, the village head was in a hurry, and hurriedly called the two villagers to stop.
Several of the men in the same group were dumbfounded, and they also went forward to hold Mu Cong.
One of the photographers grabbed Mu Cong and asked what was going on, Mu Cong, with red eyes and hoarse voice, said: "These people are human traffickers! D*mn human traffickers!"
When the scene quieted down, saw the village chief suddenly said something, saying dialect they couldn't understand,Then the villagers picked up knives, hoes, sickles and other tools from the haystack beside the courtyard flatland to surround them.
The colleagues were all on guard at the sight, Liang Xin's face was stunned, she turned pale with fright and asked Lin Qingqing hastily: "They...... they are not really traffickers, are they?"
Lin Qingqing glances at her coldly and ignores her, Ran Nan is furious when she sees Liang Xin, she goes straight to the villagers and says: "I know you want women, we have a person who is willing to stay here, do you want to take her?" She pushed Liang Xin over. "This one likes your food very much, she would like to stay here and suffer with you."
Liang Xin was immediately shocked and said: "What are you talking about? When did I say I like to stay here?"
Ran Nan raised her eyebrow and said: "Aren't you just so understanding? Did you just feel grateful that they took out the best thing to entertain? Why did you look down on others in a blink of eyes?"
Liang Xin was blocked by her for a moment. She looked at the villagers with apprehension on her face, and now she was really afraid.
The villagers were mumbling and didn't know what they were talking about, but when they saw that the second son of the village head's family, didn't know what he heard, his eyes lit up and he pointed to Lin Qingqing.
Seeing this, Lin Qingqing immediately shouted in her heart that it was not good, but she saw the village chief take a look along his direction and nodded, the man's eyes immediately lit up, rubbed his hands and walked towards Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing looked at his greedy eyes, subconsciously feel nausea.
The photographers and other doctors probably saw the purpose of the man, and they all stood in front of the girl to protect the lady who was in the same group.
"Do you know that it is against the law to do so? There are several public figures here, if they are missing, the police will definitely look for them. Our whereabouts are also known to our company. Besides, we are also in contact with the local power and government. As long as we have an accident, they will definitely find us here as soon as possible, and you cannot get away with it." Lin Qingqing also don't want to fight with them, want to try to persuade them
Now their true faces were revealed, and Aunt Pang was not so polite, but she said with a sneer: "I don't know things like law, I have many ways to teach people how to behave, when the time comes, I will tie them to the fire, pick out their tongues, cut off their fingers, and let the old men have a good meal, then I will see if you are not obedient enough. Even if someone comes to check, we hide them in the cellar, who can find it? As for these men, they are chopped and thrown on the back mountain together with stinky dung. Who can tell?"
It was so vicious, vulgar and barbaric that Lin Qingqing even wondered whether she and they lived in the same world. She thought of Meng Tian's two broken fingers, and wondered if these people had chopped them off.
The man who came to Lin Qingqing had a machete in his hand, at the moment, his face was fierce, and he said in poor Mandarin: "Who dares to stop me and see if I don't hack you to death?"
As he walked, he waved a machete and had no scruples, these people who have lived in civilization for a long time were somewhat afraid of such barbarism and vulgarity, the few people standing in front of Lin Qingqing immediately looked at each other, and no one dared to come forward.
At this time, a man took a big bamboo pole and walked up to him, as he was walking, he said: "Ah Liang, you cover the girls and go first. Brother Qi, you come here to help me!"
The speaker was Xiang Huayang, when he said this, everyone seemed to have a pillar, the man named Ah Liang urged Lin Qingqing and others to leave quickly, several other men also picked up bamboo poles, stools and other things and went up to Xiang Huayang.
However, before Lin Qingqing could leave, the village women came up and blocked the way, led by the village chief's wife, she commanded: "Tie up these women and divide them into each family!"
Lin Qingqing is not sure at the moment. Although she is thin, she is not that thin, because she often does physical exercises in high school and college, and she also specially studied Sanda (T/N: San Shou, kickboxing) in college, even though she has not practiced much in recent years, she still has some skill, so it's okay to deal with a village woman.
But other people obviously don't have such good physical fitness, even as a man, Ah Liang can't cope with so many village women.
What should we do now? do we really have to be tied up by these village women to be wives for those older unmarried men? There was no network, no signal, and she didn't even have a way to call for help.
Two female stars were probably frightened and began to cry. Ran Nan probably had never encountered such a situation, and she was pale with fear at the moment.
Lin Qingqing also felt that she was going to cry.
But she knew she had to be calm at this time.
What to do? what to do? She doesn't want to be tied up here as a wife, she has Yi Zeyan and Xiao Yuan.
Yi Zeyan, Yi Zeyan.
Her male god, she loves him so much, if she is really defiled by these people, she may want to die.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's eyes turned red, and she finally got the man in her arms, she hasn't kissed him enough, and she hasn't slept with him enough yet!
At this moment she really misses him, wants to lie comfortably in his arms, wants to be held by him, his arms are warm and strong, very comfortable.
The more she thinks about it, the sourer her nose becomes.
"What are you doing? Is it a bad time for me to come?"
A slow but sure voice suddenly sounded.
Lin Qingqing's body froze for a moment, is she missing him too much? She actually heard Yi Zeyan's voice.
She hurriedly followed the voice, but she saw several people standing on the road into the village, led by Yi Zeyan.
Today, he is dressed very casually, a loose gray round neck sweater, with black casual pants and casual shoes below, it is not the business style of a suit and tie. However, when he goes there, he still has an imposing manner that cannot be taken lightly, which is incompatible with the desolate and dilapidated villages around him.
Because he had climbed the mountain, there was a layer of sweat on his forehead at the moment, but he didn't look difficult at all.
He was followed by several people, who were also very relaxed, but because they were too tall and strong, one stop there gave people a dangerous feeling of oppression.
Lin Qingqing also didn't expect Yi Zeyan to appear here, she even doubted her eyesight.
When the village chief saw Yi Zeyan and saw the strong men behind him, he immediately raised his guard and asked: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Yi Zeyan pointed to Lin Qingqing and said slowly: "I'm her husband. I'm here to take her home."
