1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

The heat in Chen Jie's body gradually subsided when money was mentioned. "Forget it, consider her lucky!"

The two of them worked together to tie Wen Li up, and then carried her to a cave in the back of the mountain.

"You wait here, I'll go call for help!" Zhou Lao Er looked at Wen Li, who was tied up tightly, and, seemingly worried, added, "This isn't the time to let your lust get the better of you, so don't do anything reckless!"

Chen Jie rubbed his hands together, revealing a set of yellow teeth. "I won't touch her, but I can still get some benefits, right?"

Zhou Lao Er frowned, feeling annoyed by Chen Jie's lewd appearance, but since the two were old partners, he knew that Chen Jie wouldn't act rashly, so he let it go.

"what ever!"

After Zhou Lao Er walked out of the cave, Chen Jie approached with a lewd grin. Just as his hand was about to touch Wen Li's face, Wen Li suddenly opened her eyes.

When Chen Jie met Wen Li's deep, cold eyes, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Then, when he saw the ropes binding Wen Li, he was so angry that he cursed loudly.

After finishing his tirade, he turned to Wen Li and asked, "Why did you wake up so quickly?"

This drug is extremely potent; most people who are affected will sleep for at least ten hours.

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Jie stood up, dusted off his backside, and looked at Wen Li with a smug expression. "What for? Of course, I'm sending you to a wonderful place to enjoy life!"

"Are you human traffickers?"

Chen Jie's smile vanished, and he said seriously, "What human traffickers? That sounds so awful. What we do is a good thing for the country and its people. There are so many men in the mountains who can't find wives. We're matchmakers, helping them find wives so they can have someone to rely on in their old age!"

"This is a virtuous deed, don't slander people like that!"

Seeing how confidently he spoke, Wen Li almost wanted to applaud him.

"Using the guise of matchmaking to sell people into remote mountains—aren't you human traffickers? How many of those girls you sold into the mountains did so willingly?"

Wen Li had heard from the villagers before that there was such a group of people.

However, the conditions in Qianjin Brigade are considered quite good compared to the surrounding villages, and the local customs are also better, so in recent years, very few families have sold their daughters.

But there are several villages further inside Qingli Village. Those villages have little land, are located deep in the mountains, and every household is very poor. Many families sell their daughters.

So some people, under the guise of matchmaking, introduced girls from those villages into the mountains, claiming it was for marriage, but it was actually the same as selling daughters.

In the mountains, there are more men than women, and some families are so poor that they can't even afford to eat, so several brothers pool their money to buy a wife. This kind of custom has existed for a long time.

Those villagers were too fierce. At first, we arranged for educated youth to go to the countryside there, hoping that they could teach them some knowledge.

However, the female educated youth were entering a den of wolves and tigers, and the male educated youth, in order to save their lives, dared not stand up.

In recent years, the commune has not dared to send educated youth to those villages, and it has no way to manage them.

Once an outsider goes to those villages, the villagers will unite against them, no matter who they are, they will beat them half to death first.

In their villages, the village chief is the only authority!

I heard all this from Aunt Wang and the others; I never imagined I would encounter something like this myself.

However, people like Chen Jie usually target families who are so poor they can't even afford to eat, otherwise they would easily be labeled as human traffickers.

It was no coincidence that they were targeting him!

Seeing Chen Jie's dirty hands reaching towards her again, Wen Li stood up and kicked him away.

"ah--"

Chen Jie lay on the ground in agony, howling. When he saw Wen Li slowly walking towards him, his pupils shrank in fright.

"How...how did you untie it?"

Wen Li scoffed, "You think you can kidnap me with this little skill? Didn't you even bother to find out who I am before you kidnapped me?"

Despite the pain, Chen Jie got up from the ground and tried to run away, but Wen Li rushed forward, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and threw him to the ground like a chick.

Without saying anything more, she picked up the rope from the ground and tied the person up.

"Let me go, you filthy bastard, you slut..."

When Wen Li saw that he was still cursing, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

Chen Jie felt a ringing in his ears, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two teeth.

"Mud, mud, you dare to dig a hole? Your hole is full of mud!"

Seeing that he was still being stubborn at this point, Wen Li raised her hand and slapped him again.

"Behave yourself, or I'll pull all your teeth out!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course I want to see who's plotting against me! Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

Chen Jie's eyes widened. "You're faking fainting?"

Wen Li looked at him with disdain. "Nonsense, you think you can harm me with such petty tricks? Do you really think I'm made of clay?"

Chen Jie stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning. In the past, many girls were unwilling to marry into the deep mountains, and he and Zhou Lao Er would always use this method to drug those girls.

How could there be a miscalculation?

"I'll tell you who's trying to harm you, and then let me go!"

"Too late!" Wen Li ripped Chen Jie's clothes off, trying to gag him. "Someone like you is best left to the police!"

"No, no, no!" Chen Jie turned his face away, looking at Wen Li with a pleading expression. "Don't call the police! I have elderly parents and young children to support. My whole family depends on me. I can't go and be in jail!"

Wen Li raised her hand and slapped Chen Jie again. Without arguing with him, she simply gagged him and then waited quietly in the cave.

About an hour later, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the cave.

Wen Li listened quietly. There should be three people!

Hearing footsteps, Chen Jie tried to alert the people outside by making a whimpering sound.

Wen Li took out a sickle and placed it on his neck. Chen Jie froze, too frightened to move.

He was filled with doubt: Where did the sickle come from?

Zhou Lao Er, caught off guard, led Shu Yun and Jiang Chen directly into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, they saw Wen Li sitting leisurely, her ropes gone. The three stopped in their tracks, instinctively wanting to run away.

Will Wen Li give them this opportunity?

They rushed forward and easily took down Zhou Lao Er and Jiang Chen.

As for Shu Yun, Jiang Chen has already been captured, how could she possibly escape?

"Let me go!" Jiang Chen was tied up by Wen Li. He struggled but couldn't break free. He was immediately filled with regret. He shouldn't have listened to Shu Yun. How could Wen Li, that devil, be caught so easily?

Zhou Lao Er never expected that after working in this line of work for so long, he would actually be caught off guard and fall into the hands of this educated youth who didn't even dare to kill a chicken!

"Wen, let's talk this out!"

Zhou Lao Er's face still had that honest and harmless look.

Wen Li raised her hand and slapped Zhou Lao Er across the face. She didn't hold back, and Zhou Lao Er lost three teeth, his face swelling up like a pig's head.

Seeing this, Shu Yun wanted to launch a sneak attack.

Wen Li glanced at her. "You'd better behave yourself. I'm only refusing to touch you because you're pregnant!"
