Chapter 176 The ignorant village

Gu Guofu came to the door with mint and happened to meet an old Chinese doctor.

The mints sold in the village had a strong flavor, and I was immediately attracted by them. According to the market price of one cent per catty, I took most of the mints in the village and left.

More than half of the remaining money will be distributed to each household. In the village, life would be really sad if there was no mint to repel mosquitoes.

The mints in the village were sold for a total of six yuan. Although it was not much, it gave the people in the village another way to make money.

Gu Guofu had communicated with the old Chinese medicine doctor. Not only could he sell mint, he also requested that other medicinal materials grown in the village could also be sent there.

Many medicinal materials do not require fields and can be grown on mountains. Just like this mint, it can be grown on mountains without spending too much effort or using too much fertilizer.

This kind of business can be said to be a business without capital, which makes me feel beautiful just thinking about it.

On the other side, the Gu family was discussing whether to take pictures.

The reason was that a young couple in the grandson got married, and they went to a photo studio to take photos, and they deliberately showed them off.

After Gu Qianshan found out, he thought about taking some photos with the family, thinking that after the elders left, they would leave some memories for the younger ones.

However, he did not say this out loud, but said that he suddenly wanted to take a family photo with his family.

The people in the family didn't have any objections, so they just did what they said. After finishing the work in the morning, Su Cian took half a day off, and the four members of the family went to the town together.

The photo studio here does not require tickets. You can get 10 photos for one photo shoot. It costs five yuan, which is equivalent to cents per photo.

It costs one dollar to add a photo, which is a rarity.

Several people in the family are not the kind of people who are frugal. When they heard the price, no one said anything. After paying the money, they went over to take pictures.

It took half a month to get the photos I took. Not only did I take family photos, but I also took single and double photos.

When taking pictures, Su Ci'antiao paid an extra five yuan, put on the clothes she brought from home, and took 10 wedding photos.

Originally, Gu Xue didn't want to take photos, but Su Cian wanted to take photos very much, so she agreed.

After struggling all afternoon, we finally took all the photos, and the four of us looked a little exhausted.

After taking the photos, we went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. One of the cooks today was the old chef from before. He chose a few meals that everyone liked.

The four of us ate quite comfortably, and nothing happened along the way. When they were on the road, on the mountain road, a dark man suddenly jumped out from the mountain.

This person rushed towards them directly. Several people were very vigilant and blocked this person directly in front.

Just as he was about to take action, he found this man trembling on the ground, staring directly at the food sold on their basket.

How is this going?

The man stared straight at them, as if confirming something.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Su Cian stood in front of the family, always wary of the people in front of him.

"I...I...escaped...escaped?"

The man was stammering and kept talking about how he had escaped.

Sometimes he laughs and sometimes he cries, looking crazy and a little scary.

"Hahahaha... I finally escaped... Hahaha!" He was about to run away. How could a few people let him go? This man seemed to be mentally disturbed at first sight, especially when he was mumbling words that sounded so disturbing to him. Not quite normal.

"Who are you? What's going on? Why do you say you escaped? Do you need our help to call the police?"

This person didn't know what was going on. As soon as he heard the word "call the police", he felt like he was under stress. He started struggling crazily and wanted to leave.

Su Cian grabbed the man's clothes, and the man took off his clothes and tried to run away.

I thought this person was a man before, because he looked too thin, like a flat piece of paper, but when I took off my clothes, I saw clearly that this person was a woman.

Gu Qianshan, Zhang Jianguo, and Su Ci'an immediately turned their heads to the other side.

Gu Xue stood up at this moment, grabbed this person, and wrapped her clothes tightly around her body.

"You can turn around!"

The man's hand was held, and he originally wanted to struggle, but when he saw the three people turning their heads together, he was stunned for a moment.

It suddenly became quiet, as if it was clear in front of me that these people would not bring danger to myself.

The four people looked at this woman, and combined with what she said before, they had some bad premonitions in their hearts.

"Girl, what happened to you? Do you need my help?"

The woman sat on the ground, staring directly at the food on their bicycles without saying a word.

Gu Xue delivered the small cakes they bought today and the water they brought over from her bicycle.

The woman hesitated for a moment when she saw the food, and then wolfed it down.

The small cakes came one after another, and I didn't chew them much at all, just swallowed them deeply.

Sometimes if it gets stuck in the throat, just drink some water and let it go down.

It looked like he had been starved for a long time. Something bad had definitely happened to this man, but what on earth was going on?
Finally, after eating and drinking enough, the woman's eyes slowly lit up.

He slowly told what happened to him. After listening to it, the four of them were all angry. Even Gu Xue, who had always been cold-hearted, had his fingers crunched.

This woman escaped from a small village in the mountains. This small village did not have much contact with people outside and usually stayed in the mountains.

It is very inconvenient to get in and out. There is a high and dangerous road to get out. They have to step on sticks on the mountain and cross two mountains step by step before they can get out.

Because of this reason, the small village in the mountain was derailed from the outside.

In the village on the mountain, due to the derailment from the outside world and the preference for boys over girls, there were gradually more boys than girls.

As time went by, nearly two-thirds of the people in the entire village were singles. Except for the older ones, there were basically no younger ones with wives.

In this case, if they left the remaining girls, they would either fall to death directly or put them into the bucket and drown.

Girls in the village are not growing up, and people from outside are unwilling to marry in. There are more and more bachelors, and fewer and fewer women.

They have always known about the outside world. As there are fewer and fewer women in the village, different thoughts arise in their hearts.

They let the young men in the village go out, and when they exchanged things in the village for daily necessities outside, they kept an eye on the girls who were left alone, and then took them into the mountains to become the wives of a large group of them.
