I went to the countryside to help a poor village with a scientific research project, but the villagers offered two thousand yuan to buy me as a wife.
I screamed for help, but they forced me to swallow a drug that took away my voice.
The man sneered, "So what if you've got all that knowledge? This belly of yours still has to bear my children, doesn't it?"
I fought to the death, refusing to give in, but they chained me up in a dark room and beat me.
The villagers took turns guarding me, telling me to accept my fate.
"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. These mountains stretch for miles, and the whole village has countless eyes on you. You can die, but you'll die in this mountain ravine!"
But they don't understand: a major national research project is about to begin, and I'm needed back to lead the team.
