That night, Lin Mengya and the others only asked about the general situation, but now that they had the chance, Wu Yun could tell them in detail.
But this time, Lin Mengya focused on understanding the situation of the slave traders, as well as the whereabouts of those abducted from Yaoshan by the slave traders over the years.
According to Wu Yun, it's not like Yaoshan never thought of resisting over the years.
But slave traders did not fight alone.
Not only did they bribe those internal traitors, but they also had an army to protect them for their evil deeds.
"Army?" Lin Mengya was a little surprised.
Of course, it wasn't that the army got involved by accident, but she thought it sounded a bit weird.
You know, the departure of the army means the investment of a large amount of military expenditures.
Slave trading is indeed very profitable, but compared with the cost of raising an army, it seems a bit insignificant.
So, maybe there is something hidden in this, right?
"We were unable to resist the harassment of those people, so we were forced to sign a contract with them and provide them with a certain number of people as slaves every year."
"But this is nothing more than seeking the skin of a tiger. Sure enough, those people's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Later, they not only wanted people but also food, and even wanted to occupy our Yaoshan Mountain."
"The old patriarch refused, so they killed him. Later, when the army landed, they drove all of us into the forest and set fire to the mountain."
Speaking of the fire that day, until now, she still felt a faint burning pain on her skin.
Yaoshan is not only home to people like them, but also to countless living beings.
But the final outcome was that most of those creatures were burned to coke.
And she, her sister, and others were searched out by those people, tied up and thrown on the slave ship, and brought here.
"The dark clouds want to thank my benefactor for his life-saving grace. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my sister and I would have died long ago without a burial place. Please accept my gratitude, my benefactor."
After saying that, she knelt down and gave Lin Mengya a big salute.
Lin Mengya knew that he was excited, but she did not let the girl continue to kowtow. Instead, she asked Yan Jiahua to help her up, and then mentioned the purpose of calling her here.
"Miss Wuyun, you have also seen that although we can rescue you, we also have our own things to do, so we cannot send you back to your hometown for the time being."
Wu Yun's heart sank, but this was what she expected. She originally wanted to say that she and her sister could be slaves and maids, serving their benefactors for the rest of their lives.
They don't need any wages, as long as the benefactors can give their sisters a place to stay.<
br>
But she couldn't say this, because it would be tantamount to causing trouble for her benefactors.
So she suppressed the worry in her heart and said obediently, "It is already a great kindness for our benefactor to rescue us. Naturally, there is no reason to resettle us."
"My sister and I have both hands and feet. If the benefactor is convenient, he can put us on the shore. My sister and I will definitely find a way to support ourselves. I just ask that the benefactor can leave his name so that we can have the opportunity to repay you."
Lin Mengya was somewhat satisfied with this girl's reaction.
The most important thing for a person is self-knowledge, self-improvement, and self-reliance.
If this girl just begged her to help others to the end and send Buddha to the West, then the next words she would never say to this girl.
"Don't think about this in a hurry. I have a solution here, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."
"I do!" Wu Yun said eagerly, not afraid of being laughed at. She just wanted a chance to repay her benefactor.
Lin Mengya curled her lips when she saw the girl's eager look.
"Actually, I intend to place you on an island, but the idea is undecided at the moment. Besides, I will also put some things on the island. I may have to trouble you to guard it with my people."
Wu Yun didn't expect that such a big piece of pie would fall from the sky and fall straight on his head.
Probably because the surprise came so suddenly, she didn't react for a while. When she did, her eyes immediately turned red.
Her lips trembled and she murmured what she wanted to say to express her excitement at this moment.
But in the end, she found that language was so weak at this moment and could not express even one ten thousandth of her joy.
So I had to nod my head vigorously and promise again and again.
"Please rest assured, benefactors! I will definitely protect these things with my sister and my life, and I will never let others take them away!"
Lin Mengya thought to herself that this girl is really very sincere.
"But I also have another thing I want to trouble you with. The people we rescued are mixed with good and bad. There must be some good and some bad. I hope you can help me identify them. I don't want my good intentions to fall on bad people.
do you understand?"
Wu Yun's eyes widened. This time she was not excited, but tried hard to straighten her little face, trying her best to let her benefactor see her honesty and reliability.
"I, I understand everything! Please rest assured, benefactor, this matter
It’s all about me. Even though I’m young, I can still see clearly the good and the bad. Just like that bowl of brown sugar and egg water just now, I can tell that there are at least a dozen people with impure thoughts!”
Because he has experienced hardship and pain, Wu Yun knows how rare the kindness of his benefactor is.
Just as the benefactor said, this kindness should not fall on those bad people.
Yan Jiahua next to him heard the words "brown sugar and egg water", and his eyes filled with guilt.
However, seeing that the head of the family didn't seem to want to ask further questions, she temporarily let go of her worries.
In fact, she was the one who made the decision in this matter.
However, it was the head of the family who had spoken first. She said she was not planning to take this group of people into her own hands, but just wanted to use them as an introduction.
After all, they don't understand the situation on the upper border, but if these slaves are used properly, they may be able to detonate a storm in the upper border.
So she thought that since she would not regard them as her own, she could use some small means to initially judge the character of these people.
Although this method is simple, it is very effective. After a while, more than a dozen white-eyed wolves were found.
But it was also the first time for her to do such a thing, so her heart was always hanging, for fear that the head of the family would be disappointed.
That's right.
Rather than being punished for making mistakes, she was more afraid that her family owner and master would be disappointed in her and feel that she had failed in their upbringing.
Lin Mengya comforted Wu Yun a few more words.
The little girl was so coaxed that she almost died from a bloody mess.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to take you back later. Have a good rest and take good care of yourself before you can do anything else."
Lin Mengya had a gentle smile, and Wuyun, who had lost his parents and lived here with his sister, worshiped her as a god.
She didn't know that she had unintentionally gained another "die-hard fan".
She didn't give Wu Yun too much. After all, if Wu Yun seemed too special, some people would hide their true intentions for various purposes.
And she will call a few people over one after another to get a preliminary understanding of the situation except Yaoshan.
In this way, the dark clouds appear less special.
Moreover, she also wanted to judge the movements in Shangjing from the few words these people said.
They actually sent out the army to resell slaves. What did Shangjing want to do?
Lin Mengya felt that there must be something wrong here, but now they have too few clues, and Yaoshan is quite far away from here.
Even if she wanted to inquire about the situation, she could not delay their business.
Yan Jiahua, who was silent and did not dare to speak, only dared to glance at Lin Mengya secretly and then quickly lowered his head.
She is a little tangled now, just like a child who comes home and longs for recognition and praise from her parents after doing something independently for the first time.
Lin Mengya didn't forget about this girl either. After smoothing the thoughts in her mind, she looked at Yan Jiahua.
"Jiahua."
"Oh, I'm here!" The little girl's name was suddenly called, and she immediately cheered up. Her eyes were bright, like a puppy that had finally been noticed by its owner. "Look at me, look at me" was written all over her face.
"I"'s cute appearance.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but curled her lips when she saw her like this.
Alas, at the age of her current body, if we look at it in modern times, she is still just a female college student.
But now she is not only the mother of three children, but also the backbone of so many people. She even has an aunt mentality towards the girl in front of her.
No wonder people in ancient times were prone to premature aging!
It seems that she needs to give herself more supplements, and she must not let her flowering period be too short no matter what.
"You did a great job this time. I heard what your master said. You are worthy of being a disciple trained by your master. He already has your master's demeanor."
The puppy was instantly excited!
His big eyes were wide and round, and his little face turned red. He was completely different from the cold and solemn look he had in front of those people before.
"It's all thanks to the cultivation and trust of Master and the head of the family! In fact, I don't have any confidence in my heart, but when I think about you two behind me, I think that I must not embarrass you."
While talking, Bai Su had already walked in.
Seeing her little apprentice speaking these words in a clear and eloquent tone, the iceberg beauty couldn't help but curl her lips.
She never dreamed in her life that she would have such a caring little apprentice.
And all this is because she has a good master!
"Your master is here." Lin Mengya said to Yan Jiahua with a smile.
"Your master should tell you some things. In short, I am very satisfied with your performance. I will entrust you with more important things in the future. I wonder if you have the confidence to do it well?"
"Yes!" Yan Jiahua agreed quickly, but then she felt that she was not serious enough, so she knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "I will definitely not let down the trust of the family master and master!"
She felt that from this moment on, her life had a new meaning!
