Chapter 211 The Truth
Chapter 211 Truth
Author: Zhong Lin
Su Xiaomu knew this kind of grass, and after getting permission from the county magistrate, she asked a few catchers to help her make smoke.
These are small and not complicated to make, so it didn't take long for Su Xiaomu to prepare all the smoke.
The thieves lived in thatched huts halfway up the mountain. These thatched huts were very dilapidated. If Gu Ruonan hadn't guaranteed that the thieves were all here, Su Xiaomu and the others wouldn't have believed that so many thieves were crowded into such a small house.
Inside the house.
But the catcher went to check first and made sure there was nothing wrong before blowing the smoke made by Su Xiaomu into the house.
Gu Jingcheng had always been very close to Su Xiaomu, and he acted like he was protecting Su Xiaomu the whole time.
It was probably late at night, and the thieves were all fast asleep after smelling the smoke. Su Xiaomu, Gu Jingcheng and the county magistrate squatted at the door for a long time. After making sure that nothing had happened, they allowed the arresters to go in and arrest the people.
The thieves were all tied tightly outside the thatched hut. Among the dozen or twenty of them, few of them had their eyes open at the moment, as if they were still asleep and unable to extricate themselves.
Almost all of those arrested were women. The county magistrate asked Su Xiaomu to comfort them, and everyone rested for a while before returning to the city.
After all, although many people were brought out this time, they did not expect the thieves to be so easy to catch and there were so many of them, so the captors must be in the best condition when escorting them.
Su Xiaomu didn't complain about the county magistrate's arrangement. After all, they were both women, so there was nothing she could say no to such a simple job.
Just after entering the thatched house, Su Xiaomu looked at the numb and frightened expressions on the women's faces, and suddenly his mood was not as relaxed as it was before he came in.
Su Xiaomu and Gu Ruonan untied the women one by one. The less timid girl was hugging her knees and crying while the girl with more self-esteem wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide at the first moment of being freed.
Su Xiaomu didn't know whether she could really die by biting her tongue and committing suicide. She only knew that she was so frightened when she saw the girls suddenly bleeding from their mouths that she immediately stuffed handkerchiefs into their mouths.
Facing the crazy expressions of those girls, she sighed and said: "You are not afraid of death anymore. What else in this world can make you afraid?"
Su Xiaomu actually knew their worries and concerns, as well as their motives for committing suicide, but precisely because of his knowledge, he was full of love and affection for these girls, and everything he said was to persuade them.
"Today, after the county magistrate knew that you had been kidnapped, he immediately sent people to search for information. The purpose was to prevent any girls from getting into trouble in the hands of these gangsters. Everyone is working hard for your lives, so why don't you cherish it yourself?
"
Su Xiaomu persuaded them word by word, with a sincere expression on his face.
He took out the hemostatic medicine from his waist and handed it to Gu Ruonan, asking her to stuff it into the mouths of the women who bit their tongues and committed suicide.
"Let's not say that nothing happened to anyone today. Even if something does happen, so what? Is reputation and chastity really more important than life? Women should abide by these four words and tie them tightly to their bodies as shackles? If not, they will die.
, which law stipulates it?”
What Su Xiaomu hates most is the oppression of women by feudal patriarchy. Although she has no ability to change anything, she still hopes that women in this world can be less oppressive and burdensome to themselves.
"Nothing is more important than everyone's life. If you feel that you have lost your virginity, that your reputation has been damaged, and that you have no face to live in this world, feel free to come to me. Others look down on you, but I think highly of you. I am willing to give you something you want.
I want a "way to survive", but in the end I still want to say that the most important thing in this world is to think highly of yourself. People have everything when they are alive, and ants can live in vain, not to mention that human life is precious."
Su Xiaomu's words were so powerful that the little girls in this thatched house didn't expect that her small body could have so many great truths to tell them.
The person who struggled and refused to take the medicine swallowed the hemostatic medicine honestly.
They no longer said anything about life or death, and everyone sat there in silence to recover their strength.
The county magistrate and Gu Jingcheng were sitting outside. They were very close to the thatched house, and of course they heard everything Su Xiaomu said.
The county magistrate shook his head and did not hide his admiration for Su Xiaomu: "This Madam Su is indeed different from ordinary women. She is a righteous person. What she said... sounds very reasonable if you listen carefully."
"She is always good at thinking."
Although Gu Jingcheng replied to the county magistrate's words, he felt extremely depressed at this time.
What she said were probably her true thoughts. She always thought that women should be independent and self-reliant, so no matter what he did to her, no matter how hard he tried, he could not warm her heart. Therefore, she
I really never had any intention of being together with him.
Even though the two of them were once so close...
After the county magistrate and the others rested on the spot for a while, everyone went down the mountain.
Su Xiaomu couldn't worry about those women on the way back, so he kept guarding them at the Yamen the next day to see what the county magistrate would do.
If they are from Fucheng, after asking their identities the night before, they will be sent home quietly.
If they are not from Fucheng, ask them if they have any idea of staying here. If so, the county magistrate has found a temporary place for them to stay, and recommended those with skills to places where they can work so that they can support themselves.
.
If they wanted to leave, they were given money so that they would not starve to death on the road.
Su Xiaomu is a very after-sales person. For the girls in Fucheng, she arranged for the little beggars to keep an eye on them. If they find that their family members are not good to them and they have inappropriate thoughts, they will call them Shi Lanshi.
Bamboo went to help.
This kind of thing needs to be solved step by step. After all, people's ideas are not formed in a day. Even if they want to be liberated, they have to do it slowly.
If progressive ideas are instilled too much and for a long time, they will feel that today's things are nothing more than trivial matters.
So the important thing is right now, no one can die in vain.
Everyone and the county magistrate had arranged everything well, and Su Xiaomu was also satisfied with the ending.
Only the last woman was left, and her ownership problem caused everyone a problem.
In fact, it was not that I accidentally forgot about this girl, but that she had actually been with the thief for some time.
He was plain-looking, had scars on his face, and was mute. He had been doing cleaning work around thieves.
You said you should arrange for her to work, but she doesn't know anything.
