Jing Wu kicked Steward Qiao, "Did you hear that? Go call someone quickly!"
Steward Qiao covered his chest, rolling and crawling, "Yes, yes yes!"
He stumbled towards the city with his men, the wind was blowing under his feet, and for fear of being a step too late, Jing Wu's knife would be swung at him.
Xia Wanwan sat on the ground, frowning and looking around.
Although the common people knew that she was Princess and knelt down to beg for forgiveness, she was still sensitive enough to feel the strange looks from the people around her.
It was as if he was extremely reluctant to abandon his dignity and thoughts and kneel down to her.
Just because she is a girl.
Girls in Hezhou City will even be deprived of their right to live.
What's more, are these people willing to admit their mistakes to a girl like her?
Xia Wanwan was also very dissatisfied. She simply sat on the ground and did not ask the people to get up.
"Yuanbao, make a fire!"
She wants to grill a fish.
Yuanbao's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the small fish she took out from nowhere.
With a tap of his fingertips, a ball of Spirit Fire ignited on the ground.
Then he took Jing Wu's sword and skewered the fish. Then they sat on the ground and grilled the fish.
Common people:······
When they smelled the fragrance, they couldn't help but raise their heads silently and swallowed.
But why are they still kneeling?
Is this Princess really that big? Shelf?
"Princess, can you let us get up first?" a middle-aged woman asked quietly.
There were so many of them kneeling, but Little Princess was sitting on the ground grilling fish with peace of mind.
Can she eat it too?
"No, you have been kneeling to men all your life, and now you can't bear to kneel to me?" Xia Wanwan said disdainfully.
Jing Wu took over the hilt of his sword and silently took over the task of grilling fish.
He's familiar with this.
He baked it for Yuanbao.
"We didn't kneel down for men?" the woman raised her head and asked.
"If you don't kneel down to a man, why are all the baby girls born by Hezhou City thrown away?"
"Aren't girls your flesh and blood?"
"Why does Resentful Aura stay in Abandoned Infant Pagoda for a long time, but the girl's soul is trapped there and cannot be reincarnated forever? This is not kneeling to a man, what is it?"
"We are all women, why should we deprive girls of their right to live? Are you ten months pregnant and walking into Ghost Gate's child just to drown her and throw her away?"
Xia Wanwan sent out a long list of questions.
The innocent face and tender voice actually contained a hint of anger. The invisible anger made people feel more and more chilled.
Speaking of which.
The whole place fell silent for a moment.
"We, we don't want to..." The woman's voice was obviously choked, her eyes were slightly moist, and she continued,
"We are also forced to do so. Women have to get married when they grow up and cannot support us in our old age. Only by having sons at our knees can our bloodline be passed on."
"In my husband's family, if we don't have a son, we will be looked down upon."
"Before getting married, women are raised by their mother's family. After they get married, they are raised by their husband's family. If we can't have a son, then we have no status at all in the family. Princess, you are still young and don't understand our difficulties..."
As a mother, no one will feel sad when abandoning their child.
But there is nothing they can do.
It's okay to have one daughter, but if five or six of them are girls, how can ordinary people's families support them at the same time?
After having children for most of my life, without a son, my husband's family can still divorce him and remarry him.
But what about them?
After being divorced, he lived a lifetime and collapsed, and in the end he had nothing to rely on.
You can't even go back to your parents' home, and no one will know if you die in the end.
This is the sorrow of women.
Xia Wanwan fell silent for a moment.
She couldn't eat any of the fragrant grilled fish, Jing Wu could only give it to Yuanbao.
"Princess, let's get up!"
"Sir, we did not mean to offend Princess."
"Yes, sir, please beg for mercy on our behalf."
The people said one after another that some of them were helpless and some were moved.
The only one I have no regrets about!
And among the few people surrounded.
Xia Wanwan:"Don't make any noise, I'm thinking."
Jing Wu: "Don't make any noise, I'm having a barbecue!"
Yuanbao: "Don't argue, I'm not full!"
Fish: Don't make any noise, I'm being grilled.
Gu Ming looked at them, then looked down at the grilled fish.
If he doesn't say a word, he will appear very unsociable.
Finally, everyone's eyes turned to him, and he blushed and murmured,
"Stop arguing, you are all bullying me."
Xia Wanwan waved his hand, "Get up."
Anyway, it's useless no matter how much she says now, these thoughts are already deeply ingrained in their minds.
Not to mention Hezhou, even the not-too-distant Great Xia capital, Capital, which is known as the holy land of enlightenment, still favors boys over girls.
However, the people in Capital dare not do these things openly.
It's extremely embarrassing to say it.
Those who can afford it will not be thrown away.
Hezhou is not as wealthy as Capital. Losing girls is already very common, and the common people should not criticize anyone.
If you want to save the baby girl, you must first save the human heart.
Xia Wanwan sighed and waited for everyone to get up.
He saw a woman in red, riding a horse from the city. She was so cheerful and elegant that she was incompatible with the dead atmosphere in the city.
She stopped her horse, walked through the crowd, and found Xia Wanwan sitting on the ground.
"Princess Ximing!"
Zhong Youyan stepped forward and knelt down next to Xia Wanwan. There was no smile on her face at first, but the moment she saw Xia Wanwan, her smile suddenly brightened again.
"Sister Zhong." Xia Wanwan saw her, and the haze in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Princess Ximing, can I hug you?" Zhong Youyan asked with a smile.
Xia Wanwan nodded, stretched out his little hand, and let her hold it obediently.
Zhong Youyan picked up the little guy and stood up, standing tall and straight.
What followed was Lord Qiao and several Government Office people who came in a hurry.
Lord Qiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and knelt down to salute Wanwan, "I came late, and I offended Princess by these ignorant things. Please forgive me Princess Ximing!"
"Huh." Xia Wanwan twisted his face and ignored him.
Zhong Youyan coaxed carefully, "I know everything about what happened just now. No wonder Lord Qiao. This Hezhou City has always favored boys over girls, and successive officials have been unable to do anything about it. To be honest, I have been waiting for you to come over at Hezhou City and go blow up the tower with you!"
"Really?" Xia Wanwan asked with a crooked face.
Zhong Youyan nodded, "Of course it's true. I've hated that tower since I came here, but I just haven't found the opportunity. I heard you were coming, and I've been looking forward to it for a long time. No matter Government Office agrees or not, you have to take me with you!"
"You have explosive experience, I will protect you with force."
"If the people stop it, we will cause trouble today and let the people of Hezhou see whether the woman is capable!"
Listen to this.
Xia Wanwan seemed to have a fire ignited in her heart, and she looked at Zhong Youyan with bright eyes.
Finally, he quietly leaned into her ear and asked:
"How do you know I am Capital Bombing Criminal?"
