At dawn, the faint sound of cockcrows could be heard from the poultry under the cabin.
He Yunchu huddled in the corner holding Ping An, but he didn't sleep all night.
She was thinking about her situation.
How to see the little one who makes her suspicious without putting Ping An in danger?
The female guard and the two male guards who were knocked unconscious by her will wake up soon.
Even though it was too dark for them to see themselves clearly, they could hear the sailors' voices downstairs.
All it takes is a little questioning and the finger of blame will be pointed at her.
After all, he can now be said to be their common enemy.
what to do.
The only thing she was glad about now was that she didn't show her true face to others, but even so, Ping An's face was still attractive.
If the people on the second floor really belong to Mo Jingxing, then as long as one person notices Ping An, their identity will be exposed.
This is also what makes He Yunchu very upset.
At first, I was looking for Mo Jingxing, thinking that Ping An's face would be more likely to attract others' attention if he didn't dress up, but now it's not the case, and he has almost become a target.
What else can be done?
He Yunchu thought about it from dusk to dawn.
There was a rustling sound beside her. She opened her eyes slightly and looked over. She saw a woman bending her waist and taking out something from her waist in the dim light of the morning sun——
That wine bottle last night.
She didn't make too much noise, so she opened it, took a sip, and put it back. She probably thought it was still early, so she went back to sleep and wanted to continue sleeping.
"Why drink this?"
He Yunchu suddenly made a sound, which startled her.
When the woman looked back, she saw a woman staring at her intently, with a cryptic expression - at least she couldn't understand it.
This woman is not like the arrogant aunt, but she looks very timid. When He Yunchu asked what she was talking about, she just answered: "I want to have a son."
For rural women, not being able to give birth to a son is a fatal injury.
He Yunchu could tell that her waist and hips were very thick, so she must have given birth to a child.
But she didn't know what her emotions were at the moment. She probably felt that this society was too harsh on women, or she felt that the woman in front of her was too ignorant.
She said in a very bad tone: "If you can't give birth to a son, it will be useless even if you drink ten bottles of this medicinal wine."
"you,"
What He Yunchu originally wanted to express was that giving birth to a son does not depend on drinking this medicinal wine.
But to a woman's ears, it sounds like a curse for not giving birth to a son.
Her eyes suddenly turned red, but her honesty and honesty forced her to say nothing. She could only say: "You are talking nonsense."
"I didn't," He Yunchu stared at the wine bottle in her hand and asked mutely, "How many daughters have you given birth to?"
After all, this person didn't have any children with her. She was a rare woman on this ship who didn't have children with her.
"Four, four."
"Where are the people?"
The woman mentioned the sad thing, bit her lip, and wiped away tears: "The eldest child was taken by her grandparents, the second child died, and the third and fourth children were sold by her father."
He Yunchu was frightened for a while.
The peace in her arms moved, and she couldn't help but hug him tightly, reaching out to cover her ears.
"Don't you feel bad?"
"It hurts, it hurts." The woman wiped her tears and said, "But they are girls, what can I do? I can't give birth to a son, and my parents-in-law beat me."
That's why she regarded this medicinal wine as a life-saving straw and took a sip as soon as possible.
Just because I want to have a son.
"I didn't understand before that I had to have a son. A son is not as considerate as a daughter, but my man wouldn't let me. He said he couldn't give birth to a son. It was a joke to the old Mo family. He pulled my hair and beat me!"
He Yunchu could not imagine such a concept.
But it doesn't seem so incredible.
Even in modern society, there are still many families who are desperately trying to have a son. It doesn't matter whether the family has a throne or not. Having a son will bring glory to the family.
This is a kind of indescribable stupidity and conservatism.
"You can't give birth to a son after drinking this wine," He Yunchu said suddenly, "but the more you drink, the more you will find that you can't live without her."
The woman stared at her blankly, forgetting to refute, and seemed unable to determine whether what she said was true or false.
If it's true, it's ridiculous. How could it be?
Isn’t this the wine that gives birth to a son?
If it's fake, but this woman's expression is so real, it doesn't look like she's being bluffed.
Every word they said still woke others up.
Especially He Yunchu's last words were so sensitive that people gradually heard the sound of turning over in the cabin, and everyone looked towards He Yunchu.
"What do you mean?" The woman's voice trembled when she spoke: "What does inseparable mean?"
He Yunchu looked around for a week. This cabin was inhabited by lower-class people. No matter what the purpose of the people driving the boat, they would not alert the snake, so there was no one guarding it.
Just now she suddenly figured out a question.
She didn't intend to die without saving them. They gave these people alcohol mixed with morphine. No matter what they did, they could not escape the pursuit of wealth and death.
He Yunchu had heard the news about human trafficking many times before, and human traffickers used all kinds of methods.
What's more, in the ancient times when communication was extremely backward, the guise of visiting relatives was still there, but when people traveled across mountains and rivers, who could they turn to to reason with when they got lost?
Or maybe a month or two has passed when you find someone missing, and you can't even think of looking for it.
Moreover, these people also grasped one thing - giving birth to a son.
Then most of the people who are deceived are women who have not given birth to sons. As the woman just said, her husband beat and scolded her at every turn, and the children were either sold or died.
It shows that her family status is extremely low. If such a woman is lost or dead, it will not have any impact on the man.
Therefore, this person picked the opportunity very well to start.
Needless to say, most women will be fooled.
After all, nowadays, there is no such thing as independent thinking for women, and there is no such thing as women having the same value as men.
He Yunchu felt sad but also lucky. Looking back on his previous thoughts and actions in Fufeng City, he felt that they were still useful.
At least Mei'er, Xiao Liu'er and the others won't always feel that women are useless later on.
I am also a little grateful to Wei Siyun. He is a person who stands at the top of the imperial power. He has everything he wants, and he has a lot of women. However, he does not have the arrogance of common men.
I didn't regard her as a lunatic or a psychopath.
After coming back to his senses, He Yunchu asked everyone softly: "Do you believe me? There is no peace on this ship."
Everyone stared at her blankly, as if they were still covered up early in the morning and didn't hear what she meant.
He seemed to understand again, but thought He Yunchu hadn't woken up yet.
Anyway, no one spoke for a while.
There was a curiosity in everyone's mind, that is, why did this ordinary-looking woman think that they would believe that there was something wrong with the ship? This chapter has been completed!
