Part of the settings of this chapter are based on the movie "Blind Mountain". If there is any similarity, it is not a coincidence.

…………

Few people know that there is a place called "Blind Mountain" in the federal territory.

Why is Blind Mountain called Blind Mountain? Even the residents living there don’t know. Of course, they are not interested in investigating these things.

This is a very simple mountain village, poor, closed, and backward... The villagers' living standards and way of thinking seem to be out of touch with the outside world for dozens or even hundreds of years.

The residents in the blind mountains basically live a self-sufficient life. Most families make a living by farming, and a few businessmen are also locals, doing small business transactions.

The largest and only "official" in the village is the village chief. He directly led the four police officers in the village police station. Yes, there is not even a "police director" in this place. In fact, the law enforcement personnel here do not have any formal staffing in the federal... The four police officers are more suitable than police officers, but rather as the village chief's private armed forces.

Anyway, if something big happens in the village, everyone will go to the village chief to solve the problem. It’s basically up to who is in trouble, and no one will call the police.

This system, similar to the "county magistrate", lasted for many years in Blind Mountain Village.

We know this power system very well. Without saying it, everyone understands that the village chief’s son is the next village chief. As for whether the police officer’s son can continue to be a police officer, it depends on whether they are "sensible".

At first glance, there is no big problem in this village. Although their system is different from the outside world, being able to be at peace over the years shows that this set of things can work at least in this small place.

However, under this superficial peace, there is actually a creepy sin hidden...

…………

In the spring of 2215, a woman named Afafu came here.

That year, she was twenty-three years old.

Alfaf, who had just graduated from college and entered society, wanted to do the first thing she wanted to do was to travel around the world. Unfortunately... she just came out of her hometown Ismailia and fell into the clutches of human traffickers.

After several twists and turns, she was sold to this blind mountain.

On the first night after he arrived, Afafu was raped by his buyer... a local farmer in his forties; while the other party was committing violence, the other party's elderly parents were next to him, responsible for holding down Afafu's hands.

Like all families in Blind Mountain, this family has saved money for many years and saved up some money to "buy a wife" from human traffickers and pass on the family line to their son.

In their opinion, this is a very normal thing. The buyer's old mother was also abducted and trafficked to this village back then.

After a nightmare night, before dawn the next day, Afafu climbed the window and ran to the village police station in Blind Mountain.

As a result, within an hour, under the order of the village chief, she was "escorted" back to the family.

The police officers in the village are already familiar with this kind of thing, and everyone in the blind mountain... is very familiar with this kind of thing.

They told Afaf that she was already from that family and that if she ran away, her "husband" had the right to break her legs.

In this way, this nightmare that seemed not to wake up continued...

More than nine months later, Alfafu gave birth to a baby girl.

Although she had thought of committing suicide when she learned that she was pregnant, and had also beaten her stomach hard to kill the child, as this little life grew slowly in her belly, her mother's instinct and her family's softening attitude made her endure it.

Unfortunately, she hadn't been able to take a look at her child... On the night of her giving birth, her "husband" threw the newborn baby girl into the river outside the village like garbage and drowned.

His reason for doing this is very simple, because it was a girl.

In the eyes of people in Blind Mountain, raising girls is a stupid thing. When they raise them, they are from other people's families, or... they don't treat women as human beings at all.

In the eyes of these villagers, women are just tools for reproduction. After completing the task of giving birth, they have to take care of their children and do farm work, otherwise they will waste their food at home.

Afaf, who lost her child, collapsed. She hit the wall and went on a hunger strike... and committed suicide. However, the villagers of Blind Mountain were obviously familiar with dealing with this situation. They imprisoned her and asked some women who were already used to life in the village to persuade her every day, and told her that as long as she survived, she would have the possibility of running away.

But in fact... there is no possibility.

Because this village is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is almost impossible to escape by walking, and transportation is in the hands of the villagers; in addition, on the only road out of the village, there are the village chief's eyewitness in the county closest to Blind Mountain, these relevant personnel, as well as villagers in Blind Mountain Village, human trafficker gangs, etc., who have interests.

There was a woman who was abducted to escape to the county town after much difficulty, but in the end she was caught by the villagers who chased him and dragged him back; even if she cried to death when she was caught, begging for the rescue of passers-by, it was useless... The people who came to catch her were all familiar. While testifying together that she was "a ill in her brain" and intimidated passers-by to "stop meddling in other people's business", she stuffed people into the car as quickly as possible and took them away from the scene.

In most cases, things will end there.

Even if there are passers-by in the county town who think something is strange and call the police, the villagers are not afraid; the place in Blind Mountain will encounter "federal officials' inspection" every few years. Whenever they encounter such "outsiders in the village", the whole village will be unanimous and hide all the women in the village who still tend to escape. There has never been any trouble in the past few years.

Let’s talk about Afaf… In the end, she surrendered and decided to live in humiliation in order to escape from this hell.

A year later, she gave birth again, this time she was a boy, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

After having a child, Afafu gained a certain degree of freedom. Her husband's family didn't see her very tightly because they all understood that not everyone could make up their minds to leave the child and run away alone.

Afafu really can't do this...

Before she knew it, she gradually got used to the days in this mountain village, used to being beaten and scolded, used to getting up early and going to bed late every day to take care of her children, doing farm work, and being called like a servant.

Until one day in early 2219, an amazing turn of opportunity came.

Four years after being abducted, Afafu's father successfully found this remote mountain village, and as soon as he entered the village, he saw his daughter on the street.

He was angry and naturally wanted to take his daughter away, but he was surrounded by the family and villagers who "buyed" his daughter at the entrance of the village.

The buyer's attitude was very firm: "You can take away people, but the children have to stay. In addition, we bought them for 20,000 yuan at the beginning. In the past few years, she has been here for food and accommodation. We won't forget about you. You must return the 20,000 yuan to us before we can get people."

When they make these requests, they seem to be justified. They don’t understand any laws or laws. They really think that what they do is taken for granted and spent money on buying their daughter-in-law. Then the daughter-in-law is their own and there is no violence. If the drowning child is their own, then they have the right to deal with it at will. Of course, the bought daughter-in-law is to be a cow and a horse, otherwise would they eat a waste of rice?

This is their logic. Although it seems incredible to those of us who are accustomed to the rules of civilized society, it seems to be natural to them.

"Ignorance" is like an onion, only the outermost layer of skin is "tragic". If you continue to peel it open, you will see hateful and terrible.

That day, Afafu and her father failed to get out of Blind Mountain, and they were locked up in the village police station together.

This kind of "relatives come to you" has indeed been in Blind Mountain for so many years; although these villagers are ignorant, they are not as brave as to kill an adult outside the village.

So, the village chief also had to hold a meeting with the "famous" villagers in the village before he could decide what to do about this matter.

It happened that at noon that day, several human traffickers who often came and went to Blind Mountain Village came again. This time, the other party abducted three women, one of them... named Annaye.

…………

It was 4:05pm on the afternoon of the day.

"I said... Is this the bottom right?" The bumpy mountain road and the poor shock absorption of the small trailer made the tall and burly man, the tall and burly man, feel uncomfortable, and he can't concentrate on listening to Shi Sanwen's lecture. "Can it be that bowl of 'rosy noodles' fool us before he died?"

"Vomit" As soon as he heard the word "coarse", Saleh, who was sitting in the passenger seat, almost vomited out.

"Hey... don't vomit in my car." In order to facilitate the lecture, Shi Sanwen had already sat in the back seat and sat side by side with Lieba. As soon as he heard the dry retching sound from Saleh, he immediately reminded.

"Yes... I'm sorry..." Saleh was already a little sick with a little motion sickness, and the death of the gas station manager appeared in his mind, and he was a little unable to bear it. "I'll try my best to hold it back... But can you stop mentioning who..."

"Yes, there is nothing to mention." Zhang San, who was driving, also took the opportunity to follow the trend, "Don't worry. Just in case, I went to search their account books in the gas station before, and the store manager's confession was true... I also confirmed the coordinates he gave through his own intelligence network. There is indeed a small mountain village that was not marked on the map."

"Tsk... I'll say it earlier." Liebadao, "I saw that this broken road was particularly desolate. After driving for so long, I couldn't even see another car, so I asked this more."

"Actually, it's normal." Zhang San replied again, "The village is very closed. Not to mention the network and communication towers, there is not even tap water... If the construction of small power stations had not become very simple after the energy revolution, they would probably not even have electricity." He paused, "In such a village, there are probably no more than ten families with cars, and most of them should be vendors. They will only drive through this road when they go to the county town to refill goods. How could we encounter it so by chance?"

When he said this, something happened to break into his sight.

"Hey~ Look, isn't this here?" Zhang San had a great eye. He had seen the street sign at the entrance of the village through the blurred windshield in front of the car.
