Freedom and independence are their flesh and blood, and their unyielding fighting spirit is their backbone.
The fate that has been trapped cannot crush their dreams. Even if they have fallen into the dust, they can still bloom flowers full of vitality.
Lin Mengya knew that this road full of thorns had been before her from the moment she was sent to modern times.
And she accepted it calmly and was overjoyed.
Lin Mengya is an activist.
Since it is a decided matter, she will not continue to struggle with it, but will try her best to get it done.
Long Tianyu suggested that he could send someone to secretly protect the remaining slaves, but Lin Mengya told him in a low voice that she had poisoned those two guys just now.
At least in the recent period, they have been feeling weak and weak, their heads are dizzy, they just want to sleep, and they are completely unable to arouse other interests.
Long Tianyu smiled and flicked the forehead of his wife at home.
"I knew you wouldn't do nothing."
Lin Mengya didn't refute either.
Anyway, when encountering the situation just now, no matter it was him, even others would be touched when they saw it. It's just that she was a little more unpredictable than others.
Killing is the simplest thing.
For them, killing the two slave traders quietly was easier than eating and drinking.
But in this case, the remaining slaves became lambs to be slaughtered.
Moreover, with their current capabilities, it is difficult to bring everyone on board or send them back to their hometowns.
What's more, Lin Mengya guessed that even if the people were sent back to their hometown, their ending would not be good.
Even the children can be brought here, which shows how dire straits the hometown of those slaves are. Maybe the country they live in has been wiped out, which is unknown.
So the most important question now is to first understand the ins and outs of the matter.
This is easy to handle.
Ah Qing and the others knew a little about Yaoshan, while Qinghu and Xiaoyu volunteered to "steal people."
Of course, this "stealing" is literally stealing. They are going to find someone with a relatively clear mind to come over and get a preliminary understanding of the situation.
Of course, the other party's eyes will be covered so that the other party will not be aware of what is happening along the way.
Everyone dispersed after receiving their respective tasks.
They planned to spend the night on a small boat tonight. This boat was actually not too small. Compared with the surrounding merchant ships, it could be considered a medium-sized merchant ship.
When Qinghu and Xiaoyu came back, they immediately sailed the boat out of the sea
When you reach the shore, choose to stop in a deserted place to avoid being noticed.
There are quite a few people who do this. After all, the situation here is a bit chaotic. If a thief gets on the boat at night, steals something and leaves, then their losses will be great, and they will have no place to look for it.
After a simple dinner, Lin Mengya stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the scene on the shore.
In addition to merchant ships like them, there will be many more "flower boats" on the shore at night.
Even if Lin Mengya has never seen it, she has heard of it.
Generally, in a place like this, there will inevitably be people doing some flesh-and-blood business.
And because the slave industry here is relatively prosperous, both women from poor families and female slaves plundered from various places have become victims of this part of the dark industry chain.
Regardless of their origin, women are equally victimized in this regard.
Listening to the distant singing from the flower boat, Lin Mengya felt a little sad in her heart.
When Long Tianyu saw his lost look, he knew that his wife must be thinking wildly again. He stepped forward and put his clothes on her body, and whispered, "She is awake. Do you want to go over and listen?"
Of course.
The person was brought here after being knocked unconscious, and because her body was relatively weak, Lin Mengya did not give her any medicine that was too potent to avoid damaging her body.
The girl was a little scared when she woke up, but immediately a voice that could not distinguish between male and female comforted her.
"Don't be afraid. We are not bad people and have no ill intentions towards you. We just want to ask you a few questions. Once you answer them honestly, we can send you back."
Unexpectedly, the girl shed tears and knelt down in front of everyone, kowtowing.
"I don't know what kind of gods you are. Please save me. I don't want to go back! Even if you just leave me here to work as a cow or a horse, or you can just kill me with a knife, that's better. Let me go back and continue to suffer."
humiliation!"
Listening to the woman's screams, everyone fell silent. Finally, Lin Mengya cleared her throat.
She and Qinghu were the only ones at the scene who were good at changing their voices, so they were mainly the two to ask the questions, while the others did the recording work.
Lin Mengya motioned to Ah Qing to step forward and help him up.
As for why she doesn't go by herself, it's because although this girl looks pitiful, everyone doesn't have 100% trust in her.
.
Ah Qing has a lot of skills, so she and Bai Su are responsible for watching over this girl.
"You get up first. I have a few questions to ask you. If you can answer well, maybe we can save you from the fire. If you have something to hide, then there is nothing we can do to help you."
I have to say that Qinghu and Xiaoyu are good at choosing people.
The two of them had been hiding on the boat during the day, responsible for watching and listening in all directions.
When the two of them went to look for someone, they also observed carefully and found that this girl was a little different from other slaves. She had been secretly taking care of her companions.
And she was also observing the surroundings, probably hoping to escape when she saw an opportunity, but their hands and feet were tied up.
I was afraid that they would run away while I was sleeping, so I put chains around their necks and locked them in the shack like animals.
There were both male and female slaves in the shack. The smell was not pleasant, but the two of them did not dislike it. They observed it for a long time before identifying the target.
Finally, the girl was brought out without anyone noticing.
"Give this girl something to eat!" Lin Mengya sighed inwardly when she saw the other person's hands that were so thin that they were like chicken claws.
They say people are cheap when they leave their hometown.
What's more, he was captured as a slave, so he must have suffered a lot of abuse along the way.
Bai Su brought her some cakes.
These cakes were all bought on the island, and they also got her a bowl of water. It wasn't that they didn't give her anything else to eat, but that these things wouldn't reveal their identities.
This girl is indeed well-educated.
Even though they were in this situation, she still thanked them first, then took the cake and water and ate it one bite at a time. When there was only half a piece of cake left, she begged and said to the person in front of her, "I
, can I take these back?”
Afraid that the other party would misunderstand, the girl still bravely explained, "It's not that I'm greedy, but my sister is still in the hands of those people. I have to bring her back some food. She's starving to death."
With food and water, the girl regained some composure and spoke very calmly.
Lin Mengya agreed, and when she saw the girl hiding the cake in her arms, she went directly to the topic.
"Where are you from? Why did you become slaves of these people?"
This question is a bit strange, but the girl has no hope now.
Although she had a hunch that the people she met might not be bad people, but even so, she still
We know how big the backers of those slave traders are.
Moreover, her family has been ruined. Even if the other party has the same intention and wants to capture slaves, it is estimated that they will only capture the old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is no possibility of selling them.
So, she honestly told her origins.
"My daughter is from Yaoshan. Yaoshan was originally an isolated mountain overseas. Our ancestors have been farming here for generations, and later they multiplied into a large family."
"Yaoshan is rich in products, and we can be self-sufficient with our own hands, but one day a merchant ship suddenly appeared in Yaoshan. It is said that our ancestors entertained the other party very warmly, but unexpectedly the other party took him away in the name of recruiting workers.
After that, they captured people in Yaoshan for a long time and sold them as slaves."
"We were unaware of it at first, but later we became aware of it and tried to resist but could not defeat them. By my generation, Yaoshan was already empty of houses and there were not many people left. The patriarch originally wanted to
We gathered together and hid in the mountains when we couldn't, but we didn't expect that those people were so cunning and set fire to the mountains."
Mentioning that scene, the girl's heart felt like it was being boiled in a hot oil pan.
The Yaoshan people relied on the mountains to live on the mountains, and they always believed that the mountains had mountain gods and the water had water gods. People like them would definitely be protected by the mountain gods, but they didn't want this fire to burn for three days and three nights, forcing them to despair.
Many young and strong men died trying to put out the fire. The remaining people resisted even if they resisted, but they could only become the spoils of the slave traders.
She, her sister, and sisters from other tribes were all captured, but many of them died along the way.
Even her sister is in danger.
The little girl who died today was only nine years old. She became a tool for those beasts to vent their anger just because she was looking at the end of her life.
She watched this child being tortured to death with her own eyes.
That's why she wanted to escape with her sister, because she knew very well that if she didn't escape, the same fate would befall her and her sister.
Lin Mengya asked a few more questions, and then she realized that Shangjing was not just a few continents, but there were also many isolated islands in the sea.
These islands vary in size.
She has already seen the small one, and it is said that the big one is as far as the eye can see and can build a country.
But not all people live on these isolated islands.
This group of slave traders like to plunder and sell humans on these inhabited islands, and it sounds familiar. Isn't this model the same as that of the Jin Dynasty?
