After Ruan Bai went out, he didn't relax his vigilance, but made a lot of words to the two villagers.

She was very careful, just curiously asked a couple of things about the little mermaid in the pond, and then mentioned the mermaid grandmother. She didn't go into the depths for a bit and learned a lot of information smoothly.

First of all, the existence of mermaid did appear in their village a long time ago. At that time, everyone thought that the birth of mermaid was a good omen and would bring happiness and harvest to the village. The statue of mermaid grandmother was established because of this. of.

It's just that the times have changed. Today, most people no longer believe in gods and Buddhas, let alone treat those mermaids who can't work and can only eat rice at home.

By chance, they discovered that such a deformed person is very valuable. After summing up, the villagers decided to sell the mermaid privately.

For villages like theirs, human trafficking is very common, and the villagers do not have much resistance, and even take it for granted.

"We have worked so hard to grow food for a year, and we can sell it for up to 3,000 yuan, but a mermaid can sell for millions," the villager said. "In this society, where is no need for money? You need money for marriage and money for raising children. We need money for a house and money for a car. If we don’t do this, we can’t even afford clothes.”

They think that Ruan Bai was sold before, and they have no scruples when talking about them, and they are very straightforward.

Ruan Bai: "..."

It seems that the setting of this game is quite grounded...

"Now that you have money, have you ever thought about buying a house in the city and moving out from this remote place?" Ruan Bai asked, "In this way, children can also receive a better education, go to university, and don't need to farm at home."

She couldn't agree with the villagers' words. In her opinion, they have been fascinated by the profiteering, and they only complain about the environment, but never think about how to improve their lives by themselves.

"It's light, but it's actually so easy." A villager shook his head. "We are illiterate and the registered permanent residence is here. What's the use of moving out? Even if you marry a foreigner and give birth to a child, If you don’t have the shelter of the mermaid grandmother, you still have to come back to save your life..."

At the end, he noticed something and quickly stopped.

Save your life?

Ruan Bai's fingers trembled slightly when he heard the words.

She thought that she finally found something that made her feel that something was wrong.

It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Even if the outside expenditure is high, even if the outside expenditure is high, who would be happy to return to a poor and closed village after going to a city developed in the era of high information?

It is not impossible to choose some more remote villages and towns to settle down. It is not only convenient, but also cheap.

A mermaid can be sold so expensive, they are a little bit tighter and can live well.

However, what if they do not want to leave, but can't leave?

Ruan Bai felt that she could already guess what he wanted to say.

All these stories finally formed a stable and clear concept in her brain——

Not surprisingly, the number of women in this village has begun to decrease rapidly, and in the past few years, I am afraid that no mermaid will be born again.

Five years ago, the deceased mermaid was still able to have a good relationship with Du Wenwen, and even developed a feeling of admiration for her. It shows that the mermaid at that time, although it was a cargo, was not like the little mermaid she saw today. It is strictly guarded and kept away from outsiders.

There are only little boys in the village, and there are no little girls because of this reason, and the only remaining girls who can give birth to mermaids are naturally punishable.

As for the "child born of marriage with a foreigner", it should be Wang Wenwen's identity in the game.

The whole story is roughly like this:

A mermaid who was raised as a cargo from a young age, I met a young and elegant researcher by chance. While getting along with the researcher, he fell in love with each other and tried to escape with him.

Such behavior will surely alarm the villagers and eventually lead to the tragic death of the researcher. The bones are dealt with in a hurry, and the mermaid commits suicide in anger. Driven by countless resentments of the same kind, they turn into evil spirits and demand their lives.

From the perspective of the onlooker, she can see more details than these villagers.

The mermaid grandmother definitely has resentment towards these villagers, but she is very smart. On the surface, she seems to have used those talisman to protect the villagers, but indirectly sealed them in the village, even if they get a huge amount of money. Money is no blessing.

What accounts, what illiteracy, are just excuses. Ruan Bai didn't believe any outsider, so they could lie to himself.

As for why Wang Wenwen brought in people from outside the village, she felt that it was probably because there were too many deaths in the village, and she decided to let people from outside come and die.

As a result, Ruan Bai couldn't help being a little afraid.

Fortunately, when she faced the mermaid, she did not take out the mermaid bell, but chose to approach her with Du Wenwen.

Whether this mermaid bell's role is good or bad, she doesn't even know!

After getting the information he wanted, Ruan Bai didn't continue speaking, and soon led the topic to other places without leaving a trace.

Finally, after the villagers sent her out of the village, she hurriedly made an excuse, left here, and went to Gu San again.

She was afraid to go back to the village for fear of being discovered by the villagers, but she knew where Du Wenwen's tomb was.

She believed that Gu San would definitely come to the grave to investigate, so Ruan Bai simply went there first to plan Du Wenwen's grave.

For this researcher, Ruan Bai didn't have too many thoughts. Maybe she was too negative. She could see that mermaids liked Du Wenshu, but she didn't think Du Wenshu had a good impression on mermaids.

However, this has nothing to do with her, she only needs to take the bones to the mermaid.

Du Wenwen's tomb is in the deep forest. It is a very simple low mound. I don't know who helped him get it. There is only a wooden tombstone with no name engraved on it.

Ruan Bai rolled up his sleeves, digging without a word, and peeled away the soft soil above it. After about half an hour, he successfully turned out the human skeleton.

At the same time, she heard Gu San's icy voice coming from beside her, unable to hear any emotional voice——

"Bai Ruanluan, I finally found you... Just now I was scolded by people in the village as a scumbag/beast. This matter, I think, should I need an explanation?"

His ending sounded very long, and his tone was slightly raised at the end, and it sounded cold and arrogant.

Standing in the tomb, Ruan Bai was in a panic: "..."
