Yu Qingmei was once a person who stood in the clouds and despised suffering.
Nestled in the city's warm lights, she was watching documentary videos of abductions. Looking at the dark mountains and imprisoned women in the camera, she sneered and typed out a comment: "What's the big deal about turning into the mountains? The road is right at your feet, why can't you run out? It's just a weak person making excuses."
She naively thought that the so-called inability to escape was just because she was not brave enough, but she did not know that her casual scorn would lead to a punishment that cost her life.
The cold notification tone of the system fell, and the next second, she was dragged into the deep mountains that she once disdained, and became the "daughter-in-law" bought for 30,000 yuan. After locking up the firewood shed, tying hemp ropes, and being coveted by rough men, she understood that there was no civilization and no law here, only the evil that the whole village united in, and only the despair of being unable to escape.
She tried her best to escape, but got lost in the mountains with no end in sight. She was eventually surrounded by villagers and beaten to death.
In the agony of death, she was left with endless regret—regret for her arrogance, regret for her ignorance, and regret for her contemptuous words that hurt countless victims.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the rental house. Everything was as before. Only the fear and guilt deep in her bones reminded her that it was not a dream.
She immediately deleted the ignorant comment, took the initiative to provide clues to the police, and cooperated with the police to destroy the trafficking den.
When she saw the abducted women regain their freedom, and when she saw the perpetrators brought to justice, she finally understood:
There is systematic redemption in the novel, but in reality there is no chance of a do-over. Most of the women who were abducted into the mountains were trapped in darkness for their entire lives, with no way back.
This is an awakening at the cost of life, a profound awe of suffering. May all girls protect themselves, may there be no traffickers in the world, may every suffering be empathized with, and every darkness be illuminated.
Purpose: I wish there would be no cripples in the world
