"Dad, dad, don't sell me out. I promise to listen to you in the future. Dad, don't sell me out!"
As soon as they arrived, they heard the cry of a girl next to them.
The voice was thin and weak, filled with despair and fear. The thin girl grabbed her father's arm tightly and kept crying and begging. In the end, her father grabbed her hair and pulled her away from the group of people without mercy.
In front of the dealer.
"I heard that a girl like you can also exchange for five taels of silver?"
The girl's father is dark and thin. Although he is very violent towards his daughter, his eyes towards those people are a bit flattering and flattering.
The dealers who took people just raised their heads and glanced at the girl, then nodded and said rather arrogantly, "Well, we give five taels to anyone who lives here."
A surprise flashed across the face of the dark and thin man. He raised his hand and pushed his biological daughter in front of the dealers. He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, five taels is five taels! Give me the money, and this girl will be yours."
Got it!"
The girl was frightened and kept crying, but her father only saw the five taels of silver.
Her father didn't even glance at her from beginning to end, as if he was selling a cat or a dog.
Seeing that her father was about to leave with the money, the girl immediately broke out into a desperate cry and shouted in the direction of the man, "Dad——"
The man paused for a moment, but did not look back. Instead, he said loudly, "I will no longer be your father. My child, don't blame me for being cruel. With this money, your mother and I can support your brother."
After saying that, the man left without looking back.
And here, the dealers seem to be used to this kind of scene.
The man in charge of giving the money waved his hand, and immediately someone came over, knocked the girl unconscious with a knife, and then carried the girl into the house.
There, there were already piles of bags with their mouths tied.
The people they collected were knocked unconscious in this way, put into bags, tied up, and transported out at dawn.
Such transactions happen every day. In the eyes of the traffickers, what they receive is no longer a person, but a group of goods at their disposal.
Lin Mengya and others who watched all this were filled with anger.
Yuan Bao couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. Only in this way could he barely control himself and not rush out and strangle those beasts to death.
Beasts! Whether they are buying or selling, they are a bunch of living beasts!
At this time, Lin Mengya sighed and put her hand on the other person's arm.
"Don't worry."
They actually came, which means that the retribution of this group of people has arrived.
< br> Since God cannot punish those evil people, then let them do it.
A few people squatted not far away, and they were able to get a clear idea of the situation here.
In order not to be suspected, the group of people took a detour to a small road not far away, and then according to the original plan, Lin Mengya and another brother who looked a little thin acted as the abducted ancient tribesmen.
As for Yuan Bao and the others, they were divided into two groups.
One group pretends to be traffickers, while the other group hides in secret and acts according to the opportunity.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and followed Yuan Bao and the others to the group of dealers.
There are many people who come here to sell people, many of them are kidnapped, and some are selling their sons, daughters, and wives.
Lin Mengya even saw an old couple following a young man, walking over in silence with their heads lowered.
The young man's eyes were red and his body was trembling slightly.
The clothes on his body were also patched one after another, and there was not a single piece of complete fabric on his body.
They were standing not far from Lin Mengya and the others.
With her ears, she could naturally hear the words of those three people clearly, but hearing them made it more and more uncomfortable.
"Mom, dad, why don't we go back?" The young man turned around and looked at his old parents unbearably.
"What the hell, son, we, the old couple, have made a living. If we can be sold for ten taels of silver later, you, your wife, and your children will be able to have a full meal.
"
The person who spoke was the man's old father.
Like the old wife next to him, his face was full of deep grooves, and the sorrow seemed to have penetrated into their bones, making it unbearable for people to look at it.
The old lady was already bursting into tears, but she was reluctant not to give up her own life, but because she didn't know how the children would live after she and the old man went away.
"Okay, why are you crying? Besides, selling it for ten taels of silver is already enough. How could we two old bones know so much money? Come on, don't make the child feel uncomfortable!"
The old man scolded his wife in a low voice, but his big dry hand couldn't help but hold his wife's hand tightly.
In this life, he has no ability and cannot let his wife live a good life with him.
Now that the children are older, he has to take his wife to die with him, which makes him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Old man, if there is another life,
I will still live with you." The old lady tried her best to hold back her tears and looked at the old man with sobs.
But the latter sighed deeply and said, "Goodbye, I want to be a beast in my next life. This person is too difficult to be like."
As the old lady cried, the surrounding atmosphere also became a lot darker.
Their son turned his head away, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth. .??.
After all, he is useless and cannot even support his parents.
Thinking of his wife and children who were already hungry and skinny at home, he was still heartbroken.
There are his biological parents on one side and his wife and children on the other. As a man, he doesn't know how to choose, and he can't choose between them.
He even thought that if these ten taels were spent, he might as well sell himself, which would leave an extra way for his family to survive.
But when these five taels are spent, who will be the next seller?
For a moment, he felt sad, turned around, hugged his old parents and cried heartbrokenly.
Since I'm crying about life and death in front of me, I'm also crying about the fate of myself and my family afterward.
Lin Mengya was silent for a moment, then let out a long breath.
What she was most worried about finally happened.
Under this situation, the destruction of the ancient tribe seemed to be a certainty.
And these are just accelerating the pace of its destruction.
The upper echelons of the ancient clan still strive for power and gain, regardless of the life and death of the people below them.
They have not seen that because of their blockade policy and because of their greed and desire, how many people have been displaced, how many families have been broken, and how many parents and children have been separated for life and death.
She has been thinking about a question, what exactly are rights? What can rights bring to people?
Even if you have the supreme right, so what? If all the people of the ancient tribe are dead, then what use does this right have?
Lin Mengya couldn't help but remember that when she first arrived in Weiguo, although the major families were in charge of their own affairs and divided their kingdoms, one thing would not change. They were all expanding their territories and the number of people in their territories.
Only in this way can a family develop and grow in the long run.
The Gong family happened to absorb refugees from all over the country without distinction. Whether they were slaves, merchants, or even losers expelled from other families, they could all gain a place in the Gong family's territory through their own efforts.
There they abandoned the differences brought about by their origins, as long as they If they have the ability, then they can find a stage for themselves here.
It is also because of this that a large number of talents have emerged in a short period of time, making many impossible things possible.
She may not realize it herself, but it is precisely because she has received that country's concept of equal education for many years in her previous life, and has also seen that country's efforts for this purpose, that when she is doing some things, she is unconsciously
To get closer to the current situation of that country.
Even though this is an impossible task, even though it may take many generations of efforts to achieve the status quo of her ideal country, at least in her limited life, she will bring success from that country.
I have tried hard to integrate my thoughts into the current world.
And these experiences in the ancient tribe made her even more firm in her beliefs.
Those decadent and backward things must be overthrown, otherwise it will only bring disaster to the people here.
Perhaps she had been distracted for a long time. Yuan Bao gently tugged on his sleeve and reminded in a low voice, "We are almost here."
Lin Mengya finally came back to her senses, nodded quietly to Yuan Bao, and then glanced at the location of the old couple and their son.
Probably because he was reluctant to send his parents away, the young man had been silently standing in front of his parents.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Mengya and Yuan Bao took the lead and got in front of the young man.
The young man didn't say anything when he saw it, but his expression softened a lot.
Even though he knew it was useless, he still wanted to try his best to spend more time with his parents.
How can his parents not understand what their child means?
So I just sighed and shook my head without saying anything else.
They were also reluctant to give up, knowing that this time would probably be the last time they saw each other, and the old couple wanted to spend more time with their son.
Soon, Lin Mengya was pushed in front of the dealer.
Several dealers around seemed to be very arrogant, and would take advantage of young girls whenever they met.
So there are girls crying all around, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The person responsible for distributing the money was a middle-aged man with a fair face and no beard.
Lin Mengya quickly raised her head, glanced at the man secretly, and felt a little strange.
This person should be similar to a chamberlain in the palace.
But as far as she knew, neither the Presbyterian Church nor some large families had the habit of using chamberlains.
