Li Yuemin was deep in thought about his younger brother’s affairs when he heard these words. His worldview was instantly shattered, and he asked with wide eyes, "That village is tucked away in a mountain gully, with only a few dozen households in total, and every one of them is dirt poor. No woman from any other village would ever be willing to marry into a place like that. Even when someone there does take a wife, she’s either been swindled or kidnapped from somewhere else. Why, that even includes the village chief’s own daughter-in-law. People have tried to report it before, but every time officials came to investigate, the villagers all stuck to the same story. No one knew the truth, and no one could ever escape. It’s only because I know the way that I managed to get out of there at all."
"So, what do you plan to do now?" Li Yuemin asked, frowning.
"I can tell that you two brothers are good men, so I’m asking you to help me all the way—take me to your village to hide for a bit. I’ll leave as soon as it’s light tomorrow."
