Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Find a Big Tree to Sleep Under
On the other side.
Jiang Jun and Cheng Feng led the team up the mountain.
As soon as they reached the top, they heard a baby’s cry coming from a house. One of the policemen looked at Cheng Feng, "There’s a baby here too?"
Cheng Feng shook his head, his face not looking too good, "We didn’t see a baby, only a woman about to give birth."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed the sound of the crying baby. When they reached the door of a house, they were stunned by the scene inside. Cheng Feng couldn’t bear it and ran to the side to vomit.
Everything he had eaten at noon was completely thrown up.
They saw the brother’s wife, barely alive on the ground, with a large pool of blood underneath her. The newly born baby’s umbilical cord hadn’t been cut and was crying on the ground. For ordinary people who had never seen a woman give birth, this scene was indeed unbearable.
The police who came along frowned, quickly ordered people to move the brother’s wife down the mountain for treatment.
As Cheng Feng recalled the words the woman had confidently spoken before, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he couldn’t help but dry heave again. The brother’s wife certainly didn’t expect that she wouldn’t be so lucky in giving birth to her fifth child...
The police quickly located the mute girl’s room. The mute girl had been beaten badly this time, with two of her ribs broken. The police didn’t dare to move her casually and used a mat to carry her down the mountain.
Looking at the mute girl’s condition, Jiang Jun couldn’t help but sigh. He, too, had been beaten before and knew how painful it was, so when everyone was carrying the mute girl down the mountain, he helped.
While examining the brother’s house, everyone found many objects that didn’t belong to the brothers. They guessed that the case may be bigger than they expected, and the police took it seriously.
After more than two hours of turmoil, Cheng Feng and Jiang Jun returned to the breeding farm. Thinking of the scene they saw on the mountain, Cheng Feng didn’t eat much dinner.
The group stayed at the breeding farm for three days. After the road was completely dry, they returned to Kyoto. Before leaving, they specially visited the police station. The police were very polite to the three of them and revealed some progress on the case.
The brother had previously participated in a train robbery and was a wanted criminal. He had a distinctive birthmark on his face, which was very noticeable. Unexpectedly, he was ruthless enough to cut off a piece of his own face and remove the birthmark. He returned to the village, took over two mountains, and brought several childhood friends to plant trees on the mountain.
They were involved in several robbery incidents and caused a few deaths, all of which were buried on the mountain.
The brother had married years ago and had four sons and two daughters at home. The wife on the mountain was picked up by them, and all the children she gave birth to were sold by the brother.
It was pitiful for the mute girl. She was first abducted by human traffickers, and on the way home with the man who bought her, she encountered the brother. Afterward, the man who bought her was dealt with by the brother, and the mute girl was imprisoned.
In fact, the mute girl’s current whereabouts had become a problem. She had a pitiful origin, no family, and was currently staying in the hospital with nowhere to go. Everyone was unsure how to arrange for her after she was discharged from the hospital.
After saying this, the police chief suddenly looked at Tong Yao and said: "Do you lack people in your breeding farm? Why don’t you let her help you there? This girl had a pitiful story, can’t speak, and is illiterate. She can’t even write her own name. If she is on her won in the society, she is bound to be abducted and bullied again."
"Uh..."
Tong Yao didn’t expect his topic to turn like this, intending to arrange the mute girl in the breeding farm. There was no shortage of people in the breeding farm for the time being, but it would be nice to have one more person to help with daily life.
Currently, her mother, cooking for five or six people alone, would definitely be tired over time.
Thinking of this, Tong Yao nodded and said: "Okay! After arriving in Kyoto, I will call my parents. After the mute girl is discharged from the hospital, send her directly to the breeding farm!"
Hearing this, the police chief seemed to have solved a big problem, and his attitude towards Tong Yao and the others got even better.
The group had a meal in the city before they drove back to Kyoto.
...
Meanwhile, after Guo Jinnian finished handling the cargo, she took a train directly to Li city. She found Qin Xiaoshuang, who arranged for a bullock cart to take her to Shanghe Village.
By the time she reached the village, it was already dark. Guo Jinnian guessed that Gu Hongwei might be asleep. She decided to play a prank, so instead of using the main entrance, she climbed up a tree next to the wall and jumped over the wall.
It was the full moon night, and the moonlight shone on the eaves of the houses, making it as bright as day. Guo Jinnian sat on top of the wall and heard the sound of water. She looked in the direction of the sound and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of her.
She saw Gu Hongwei, bare-chested, taking a bath in the courtyard. From Guo Jinnian’s angle, every detail of Gu Hongwei’s body could be seen clearly.
This was the first time that Guo Jinnian, now grown up, was seeing a fully grown man’s body. She was taken aback and didn’t know how to react. She just stared wide-eyed at Gu Hongwei.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, Gu Hongwei quickly noticed something was wrong. He looked up to see someone sitting on the wall, and even he, who didn’t believe in ghosts and spirits, was startled. When he came to his senses, his face darkened, and he quickly put on his clothes.
Since she had seen everything, Guo Jinnian felt it would be too insincere to pretend otherwise. So she simply jumped down from the wall into the yard.
Gu Hongwei, who was always calm, scrambled to put on his clothes. He fell while putting on his trousers due to the panic, but he didn’t care, getting up quickly to continue pulling on his trousers. He didn’t even have time to wipe off the water on his body before putting on another piece of clothing.
Guo Jinnian was initially a bit embarrassed, but seeing his reaction made her burst into laughter. She teased, "Hey, Gu Hongwei, why are you blushing like a girl? I didn’t see things very clearly."
Gu Hongwei, generally good-tempered, ground his teeth and said, "Guo Jinnian, don’t you know to knock and use the front door when you come to someone else’s house?"
Guo Jinnian shrugged innocently, "I thought you were asleep and didn’t want to wake you up."
Seeing Guo Jinnian act as if nothing had happened, Gu Hongwei was even more upset and didn’t want to entertain her. He directly went back to his room. Guo Jinnian followed him instinctively, still chattering away.
"Gu Hongwei, you can’t be this petty, can you? You’re angry just like that? I’ve already said, I didn’t see anything just now. Didn’t you touch me last time? I wasn’t that angry, was I? You’re seen, you’re seen, it’s not like you lost a pound of flesh, you didn’t suffer, right? I’m not saying that I got poked in the eye after seeing your body."
When Gu Hongwei got back to his room, he suddenly turned around and walked back, throwing a mat onto Guo Jinnian, "Find a big tree and sleep there tonight."
