The shrill and desperate cries echoed in the low and dilapidated tile-roofed house. The bruised boy struggled hard, but he could not escape the grasp of the adult man.
"I will never run away again, I promise I will be obedient!"
"It's too late to be obedient now, little bastard."
The man who was holding the baby boy like he was catching a lamb was grinning ferociously. His face was full of the joy of being a torturer and his unconcealable pride, and his face was twisted like an evil ghost.
"Shut his mouth, it's too noisy!"
Someone picked his ears and said impatiently.
"Break his mouth. Anyway, the Lord River God won't care about this!"
Someone suggested with a cruel smile. Feng Bingwen looked at him with no hint of joking on his face. He really wanted to smash the mouth of the crying child.
"Just find something to plug it up. This guy's appearance is already bad enough. If you beat his mouth to pieces, the people in Baicrocodile Bay will have a problem."
Just like tying up a half-grown pig, Feng Bingwen watched helplessly as the child, who had previously suffered inhuman treatment, was roughly tied up with hemp ropes by these gangsters, and then blocked.
Mouth, desperate tears fell in his eyes, and then dripped from his cheeks, but what was the use of tears at this time.
"Hey, little scholar, do you see? This is what happens to disobedient children here!"
At this time, a man yelled at Feng Bingwen. When he looked over, the man's mouth cracked open, revealing a set of uneven, burnt-yellow teeth.
"If you are obedient, we will find you a good family, and your life will be much happier than before. By then, you will have good food, drink hot food, and if you want to be happy, you will have women."
"Hahaha, boy, this is a day like a fairy. I have found such a good family for you. Don't forget to thank us!"
"That's right, remember to set up a memorial tablet for longevity and support us."
The scumbags laughed unscrupulously, Feng Bingwen remained silent, and the scumbags who did not receive a response did not care and left with the "living animals" they had selected.
When the door of the tile-roofed house was closed again, the two children who tried their best to huddle in the corner looked at Feng Bingwen with complicated eyes. Feng Bingwen actually saw an envious look in them.
"What's your expression?"
Feng Bingwen couldn't understand why these two guys envied him.
"You're lucky!"
One child spoke hesitantly, his voice dry and hoarse, as if he hadn't drank water for a long time.
"Lucky? You mean being caught here? Then I'm really lucky."
Feng Bingwen laughed to himself. The first time he left the village, he ran into a group of people who had mastered sorcery. They actually dared to rob children in broad daylight.
"They didn't lie to you."
"You didn't lie to me, what do you mean?"
Feng Bingwen smiled, but his smile was a little cold and his eyes became cold.
"They can really find you a good home."
"A nest of gold and silver is not as good as my original straw nest."
"Do you know who usually buys children our age?"
"have no idea."
Feng Bingwen shook his head.
"The villages that need boys and girls to be sacrificed to the gods, and the gentlemen who want people to be buried with them."
The child who was talking to Feng Bingwen had an indescribable sadness in his words when he said this.
For him, this is the inevitable outcome, it's just sooner or later.
"Living sacrifices and human sacrifices are all things that are expressly prohibited by the government!"
Feng Bingwen clenched his fists, but then loosened them weakly.
"There is no government in their eyes at all!"
"A bunch of scum!"
Feng Bingwen gritted his teeth. At this moment, he wished he had the power to kill ghosts and gods.
He wants to kill all these scum who use human beings as goods, as well as those evil gods who dare to demand human sacrifices from mortals, if they really exist.
"It would be nice if we were girls."
Another child suddenly said something shocking. Feng Bingwen, who was still angry at himself for being weak at this time, turned his head and stared at him in astonishment.
"What?"
"If we were girls, we would be bought easily. No matter how old we are, we can be sold as long as we can have children."
"you……"
Feng Bingwen clenched his fists tightly, and then slowly loosened them. He felt sorry for his misfortune and hated his inability to fight.
For human beings, boys who have not yet remembered are a good thing, and they can be sold as much as they can. Secondly, there are women who will have the ability to have children and have the ability to have children, no matter what age.
The last thing is undoubtedly children like them who have already acquired preliminary self-awareness and judgment abilities. For those who want to renew their incest, they are just unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.
"Look for a chance to run away!"
Feng Bingwen stood up and extended an invitation to the two poor children.
"There are those people outside, we can't escape!"
One person whispered, his eyes full of desire to go home, but under the extreme violence of those scum, he lost his courage and his heart was filled with cowardice.
"We run at night. We are small. It is midsummer and the vegetation is lush. As long as we can hide..."
"But, there is a ghost at night!"
Another child was born, speaking shocking words, with a trembling voice and unconcealable fear.
"ghost?"
Feng Bingwen frowned and turned to look at the wall behind him. In this tile-roofed house with only four walls, the yellow cloth with cinnabar runes painted on it was particularly conspicuous.
"Well, there is a ghost here."
The child was trembling, as if he didn't believe it when he saw Ji Yi.
"Really, I didn't lie to you."
"Even if there are really ghosts, can they be scarier than those people?"
Feng Bingwen, who had already seen some mysteries and supernatural beings, and even experienced sorcery personally, did not dare to refute, but asked like this.
"Those people are scarier!"
This is something they don't need to hesitate to think about. To them, ghosts harming people is just a story used by the elders in the family to scare them. But after being kidnapped and coming here, the beatings they received were real.
Humans are scarier than ghosts!
"Then there's nothing to hesitate about. If you stay here, you'll end up rushing out with me. Maybe you can go home!"
With Feng Bingwen's encouragement, the eyes of these two originally despairing children gradually became brighter.
"But how are we going to escape? This door will only open when food is brought to us."
"When do they usually deliver food to us? How many people will be there when delivering food?"
"Only one person! They will only send it to us twice, once at noon and once when it is getting dark!"
