Tang Le and Guo'er went to the village chief's house together. The village chief's house was much better. It was actually a large tile-roofed house, which was still very conspicuous in this mountain.

Tan Zhaosheng and his two children also came together.

The village chief's daughter-in-law had already prepared the meal and greeted Tang Le and Guo'er warmly to the table.

Guo'er took a look at the dishes on the table. The more distinctive mountain dishes, one fried wild snail, one fried bamboo shoots with sliced ​​meat, and scrambled eggs with green peppers, and green vegetables, all looked pretty good.

"A Xin, come out to eat." The village chief's wife called out.

"Oh!" A voice came from inside.

Then a big boy with a fat head and big ears came out, saw a guest, and smiled at the two of them.

Guo'er felt that something was wrong when she saw it. Does this seem to be a dementia?

The village chief's daughter-in-law took a big bowl and filled it with a bowl of rice. She added some vegetables to the bowl and said to her son, "There are guests today, and A Xin will sit on the side and eat."

"Oh!" A Xin replied obediently, holding his rice bowl and sitting on the low stool next to him.

The village chief greeted Tan Zhaosheng and Tan Tong, but he did not call the little boy who donated bone marrow to the table. He just packed some rice and some vegetables for him, and let him and A Xin sit on the side to eat.

Guo'er thought it was very strange, if the little boy donated bone marrow to Tan Tong, he should be very grateful to him, why is he so neglectful?

But Guo'er was not easy to ask, she just silently kept these doubts in her heart.

"Come on, eat vegetables, there is nothing good in the mountains, you are welcome." The village chief greeted warmly.

Tang Le nodded, "It looks good, what is this?" Tang Le pointed to the wild snail and asked.

"These are mountain snails. We picked them up in the mountains by ourselves. Also, this bamboo shoot was dug in the bamboo forest in spring and dried in the sun. It's a good thing. But we don't have access to the mountains, so we can't sell it. It's a pity," said the village chief.

"It makes sense to build roads first if you want to be rich. You are too mountainous here, and roads are not easy to build." Tang Le said.

"Yeah, the road is difficult to repair, and the above is not willing to allocate funds. Where is the money in our village, the poorer it gets, the poorer it becomes, and many people can't marry a wife." The village chief said.

"You can go to work outside, there are many opportunities in the south..." Tang Le said.

"Yes, many people have already gone out, and some of them have made money to build houses at the foot of the mountain, but our ancestors are all here, and they are reluctant to leave. Those poor people want to leave but can't.

"The village chief sighed.

"So we can help us if we can help Zhaosheng, but there is really nothing we can do. I hope your hospital can help us solve the child's problem."

Tang Le nodded, "I will report the situation here to the dean as soon as possible after I go back."

After lunch, it rained heavily outside, and it rained all afternoon. Tang Le and Guo'er were going to leave, but now they can't.

"Why don't you stay at home tonight? It's raining so hard, and the road on the mountain is slippery. It's hard to walk. It's better for this beautiful little girl not to fall. Let's go tomorrow when it's sunny?" said the village chief.

Tang Le didn't want to stay overnight, but he couldn't leave. It was getting dark again, so he agreed to come down because it was not safe in the mountains.

After dinner in the evening, the village chief's wife called the two of them to wash their faces, and Guo'er and the others brought their own towels.

"Excuse me, sister-in-law." Guo'er said.

"No trouble, you wash slowly." The village chief's wife smiled, "By the way, how do you stay at night?"

"We are husband and wife, one room is enough." Tang Le said first.

He was unfamiliar with this place, and he didn't trust Guo'er to be alone.

"That's easy to do. I don't have many rooms in my house. I still have one." said the village chief's daughter-in-law.

When Guo'er saw Tang Le say that, it was hard to say no.

The village chief's daughter-in-law took the two to a side room next to them, "You will sleep in this room tonight, it's a bit crude, so don't dislike it."

"No, thank you sister-in-law!" Guo'er said hurriedly.

Looking at the basin of water, Guo'er was a little worried.

"What's wrong?" Tang Le asked.

"I want to take a bath, but it seems like it's too much trouble for others." Guo'er said, mainly because of the long mountain road today, she was already sweating, and it was uncomfortable not to take a bath.

"I'm going to talk to the village chief?" Tang Le said.

"Forget it, it's too much trouble, just wipe it off." Guo'er said.

"Then you're in the room, and I'll be watching outside." Tang Le said, it might be inconvenient to take a bath in the poor conditions in the mountains, and he didn't feel relieved. He always felt that this place was not safe.

After Guoer finished scrubbing, Tang Le poured out the water and went to get another basin of water.

The two of them lay on the bed in their clothes and did not change their pajamas. They always felt insecure in this unfamiliar place.

"Tang Le, I always think this place is a bit weird, I don't know why." Guo'er leaned beside Tang Le, hugged his arm, and whispered.

"I also think it's a bit strange. There seems to be a lot of things that are not right, but I can't tell what is wrong. We will leave earlier tomorrow." Tang Le said.

"Yeah!" Guo'er closed her eyes, she was very tired after a busy day today.

The two fell asleep quickly.

In the middle of the night, Guo'er was woken up by a strange sound and hugged Tang Le, "Tang Le..."

"What's the matter?" Tang Le woke up.

"Listen, what's the sound?"

Tang Le listened, "Nothing?"

"Listen again, it seems that someone is crying, and there is a strange sound..." Guo'er hugged Tang Le's arm tightly.

As soon as Tang Le heard it, he heard a little movement and sat up.

"What is it?" Guo'er asked nervously.

Tang Le shook his head, "shhh", and whispered, "I'll go out and have a look."

"I'll go with you!" Guo'er grabbed him, she didn't dare to stay here alone.

Tang Le nodded, "Come with me!"

He gently opened the door and looked out, there was no one, everyone should be fast asleep.

Tang Le took out a small flashlight from his luggage, took Guoer's hand and walked out quietly.

"The sound seems to be coming from the back." Guo'er pointed to the back of the wing, where there was a wooden house.

Tang Le nodded, took Guo'er's hand, looked around, made sure that no one was there, and walked out on tiptoe.

It had rained heavily outside and the road was a little muddy, so the two walked over carefully.

I walked to the wooden house and pushed the window, but it did. I opened the window a little and looked in, but I couldn't see anything.

Tang Le looked at the side again, turned on his flashlight and looked in.

The people inside were startled and turned their heads suddenly, making a violent noise.

It was only then that Tang Le and Guo'er discovered that there was actually a person tied inside. She was still a woman, very young, with a piece of cloth stuck in her mouth, her body was tied with iron chains, and her hands and feet were tied.

When the woman saw someone struggling desperately, she made a whimpering sound, and the iron chain on her body rattled.

The two were shocked, what happened? Why is there still a person locked up?

The woman couldn't speak, she could only look at them with pleading eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"Tang Le..." Guo'er called out in a trembling voice. Couldn't this be kidnapped by human traffickers?

Tang Le's heart was also pounding, and he gently closed the window, the people inside became anxious and made a louder sound.

"Come on!" Tang Le took Guo'er's hand and quickly stepped back.

"Tang Le, was that person kidnapped? We want to save her!" Guo'er whispered.

"Go back and talk about it!" Tang Le covered Guo'er's mouth, walked to the front, thought for a while, then stepped back, picked up a piece of firewood by the side, walked to the window, and walked backwards with himself and Guo'er. Sweep away traces.

Walking to the edge of the wing, making sure there were no footprints, he threw the firewood far away, and asked Guo'er to take off his shoes, wash the soles of both of them with the water under the eaves, and then quietly returned to the house.
