With a shout, two tall servants came in and said to the servant just now: "The person in charge has an order to select three ordinary sword slaves for use."
As if he had received an amnesty, the servant quickly took a few steps back, moved further away from Chi Mingjing, took out a bunch of keys, and opened a circle. Chi Mingjing no longer pressed, but took a step back.
He pulled out three children from inside and handed them over to the visitor.
Chi Mingjing noticed that he did not choose randomly, but had already predetermined the candidates from the beginning - at least two little girls were like this. Then he may not have been fully prepared and did not prepare the third person, so he chose randomly again.
I pulled a boy to make up the number and pushed them all to the visitor.
This action was like throwing a big stone into stagnant water, breaking the dead silence. All the children in the courtyard were trembling, and suppressed cries were everywhere.
The slave who chose the person shouted: "Why are you crying? Shut your mouth. This is their luck. If they die early and are born early, they can be a new person. If you are lucky, you can also save this calamity at the foot of the mountain."
After crossing, I will still be a human being when I am sent outside, I’m afraid I won’t have such luck!”
Most of the children didn't understand what he said, but the two slaves who came to mention him were unhappy and cursed: "Old Ma Tou, what are you talking about? Why are people outside, they are just servants in the manor?"
Yes, you are a human being, right?"
The old man apologized quickly, and the two cursed and dragged the three sobbing children out.
Chi Mingjing watched silently, motionless. He was as indifferent as those who selected slaves.
In fact, she has never been a soft-hearted person, nor a sympathetic person.
At least in these years, she considers herself to have been very indifferent.
Since the death of his teacher, Chi Mingjing has been wandering around the world alone, struggling between black and white. Not to mention his heart is as stone as stone, and he has no idea how much blood is on his hands. Even when he saw human traffickers trafficking children, he would not be moved.
Otherwise? If you save the child out of kindness, where can you send her to be raised? It will be difficult for her to support herself.
Since there is nothing you can do, it is better to be indifferent from the beginning.
As Bao Renwu said, she pretended to sell herself to do odd jobs in the traffickers' team, and also took care of the trafficked boys and girls. She did not show sympathy and did not arouse any suspicion. She was really controlling at that time.
You have to take care of yourself.
However, she did not expect that the Bao Renwu she met happened to be the younger brother of Bao Renxing who sold her back then, and it was that time that she was rescued by the teacher. This experience is her weakness. Once it hits her, it will be difficult to calm down.
.
As her heart surged, she went berserk and almost killed Bao Renwu and his entourage. After losing control, she could not regain the calm state of her heart for a while. It was like an egg. The shell was hard, but a hole was broken.
, there is a risk of breaking.
She couldn't let go of the girl in her hands just now. Firstly, it reminded her of the time when she was trafficked. Secondly, it was also because during a period of emotional vulnerability, it was inevitable to act emotionally.
But Chi Mingjing is a ruthless person. She noticed something strange about herself and did not allow herself to be so fragile. She made up her mind and immediately blocked her feelings. When she saw other tragic things happening in front of her, she remained calm. She endured it at first, but recovered after adjusting.
Complete peace.
Looking down at the dull-looking girl, she hesitated for a moment and thought to herself: The teacher was also a resolute and ruthless person at the time, but a moment of kindness saved me on the road. It can be seen that it doesn't matter if you are soft-hearted occasionally, as long as you don't let it go.
yes.
He immediately took the girl in his hand and said, "Let's go."
The two of them left the small courtyard and went to Chi Mingjing's residence.
On the way, Chi Mingjing asked: "What's your name?"
The expressionless girl looked like a ghost and spoke with a clear voice: "My name is Feng Zhilie."
Chi Mingjing was obviously shocked by the name, but she could no longer think of some absurd possibilities. Instead, she explained to herself: "I see, your family pretended to be a boy, so you took a man's scientific name? You
Sure enough, he came from a good family, and he wasn't sold by his family, right?"
Feng Zhilie adjusted his posture, and suddenly his big eyes were watery, as if there were tears in his eyes, and he said: "Well, I was not sold by my family, I was captured by the bad guys. I am at home well... Our homes are thousands of miles apart, no
I know when I can go back."
He added in his mind: The bad guys are Gao Yuanhou and that boy Tang Zhao, who treat me like a beast. Even though I'm dead, why do you ask me to take on such a big job and come all the way to such a ghost place?
.
Chi Mingjing's heart moved, and he wanted to comfort her and send her back in the future, but he stopped as he approached, thinking: Whether things can come true here, I can't even decide whether I will live or die, so why bother to say more? If it can come true, my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled.
She has been rewarded and she is relaxed. It is just a matter of effort to send her home. If it fails, just send her out, just like the teacher released me. What fate will be depends on fate.
As he was walking, he saw two young servants in green clothes coming towards him. Chi Mingjing was secretly surprised and recognized that they were the two followers beside the young master. One was named Wei Se and the other named Jiang seemed to be ranked eighth.
He was known as Myna, and it was said that he had a very impressive and difficult-to-pronounce name, but she couldn't remember it.
According to her observation, although these two people are young and neither are swordsmen, they should be the young master's true confidants, and all important matters should be handled by them.
The two sides passed each other, and Jiang Bage showed no sign. Wei Se nodded, and Chi Mingjing also nodded politely: Among this group of people, she still had a better impression of Wei Se, because his words and deeds were the closest to a normal person.
Seeing the two people entering the yard where the slaves were kept, Chi Mingjing was curious, so he finally turned back and stayed behind, where he could hear the movement inside through the wall.
Just listen to Jiang Badao inside: "This is all the property of the young master, who allows you to dispose of it privately? Ah ha, the young master is here, and you are coming in and out without waiting for his orders. Did you get the young master's permission? This is crazy, this is
You have no time left to make money, are you anxious to make the last fortune?"
The man inside said a few words in a low voice, and Jiang Ba's voice rose to a higher pitch and said: "General Manager? Is the General Manager older than the Young Master? Who are you trying to scare by trying to bully me..."
There was a random sound of ping-ping-pong-pong, as if something had been smashed, and there were also threatening voices of persuasion. Finally, Jiang Bad said: "Please be clearer to me, who owns this place? The young master belongs to the whole family."
No matter how powerful the boss or the second boss is, I want you to know how powerful your eighth master is! From today on, the people in this yard will be under the control of Wei Se, and you will also be under his control. Work honestly.
That’s it, you’re not honest anymore. If I beat you to death, will anyone still be able to redress your grievances?”
Chi Mingjing was a little amused when he heard this, and thought to himself: Is this a power grab by a wealthy family? Isn't it a bit rough?
But yes, the most high-end struggle often only requires simple and unpretentious means. The young master is justified. If the manpower he brings is strong enough, then nothing can be done?
In any case, whether it is the eldest young master who seizes power, or whether the dog bites the dog and eats the black, if a crack can be opened in this prison cage, Chi Mingjing will naturally be happy to see it.
At this time, Jiang Ba slammed the door and walked out, but Wei Se stayed behind. Chi Mingjing guessed that he was going back to recover, and suddenly said: "Ba Ye——"
Jiang Ba turned around, looked at her in surprise, and said, "You're welcome, just call me Ba Ge. What's the matter?"
Chi Mingjing said: "They also have a place, which should be a place specifically for making slaves into sword slaves. I saw a few children were taken away just now. Do you want to take over?"
Jiang Badao said: "Is there anything else?" He turned around and went back, then pulled out the servant who was watching the slaves and said: "Lead the way to the place where the sword slaves are made."
The servant hurriedly begged: "It's not that the young ones can't go, it's that the rules dictate that the young ones can't go there. According to the rules, only first-class domestic slaves can go there. If a young man with such a status has a foot that steps forward, his foot will be cut off."
Jiang Ba sneered and said: "What are the rules? Which life's rules? What sword from the previous dynasty can kill the officials of this dynasty? Just go ahead. The rules of the young master have always been: whoever is obedient will benefit, and whoever is disobedient will benefit.
Not to mention first-class or second-class, even the last class won’t have a share.”
He pushed so hard that the servant had to tremble and lead the way.
In fact, the business of the dye house is so big, it is only separated by a courtyard. When we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, we heard moaning coming from inside.
The sound was not loud, but it was not painful. The mouth was blocked and the sound could not come out, so I could only whimper. But the people outside except the servant had very good ears, and the sound penetrated into the ears like needles pricking them.
General, feeling unwell all over.
Jiang Ba Duan acted like a dog fighting against human power, stepped forward, raised his foot, and kicked the door open with a bang.
I saw cabinets placed in the small courtyard. They were all made of thin wood and looked like coffins. One of them had its mouth open, and a big man was stuffing a bound and gagged child into the cabinet.
Another big man was sitting on a bench in the courtyard. Next to him was a table. The table was piled with materials of different shapes. Sitting at his feet were two dumbfounded children who were talking to each other with tears in their eyes.
Seeing Jiang Ba, Chi Mingjing, Feng Zhilie and the servant come in, the big man didn't react and blurted out: "Who? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area?"
Jiang Ba shouted: "It's your ancestor...ah, how could I have such a beastly grandson? I was sent by the eldest young master! This place is under my control, so get out of here."
After that, he ignored the big man who was shouting at him and kicked him up first, kicking away the big man who was stuffing people into the coffin.
The big man had learned martial arts for a few days, and he had the consciousness to resist, but his body couldn't keep up. As soon as his eyes blurred, he was kicked head-on and flew to a nearby tree, where he hung upside down on a branch.
Jiang Ba was running non-stop here and immediately kicked the other big man down. Seeing that the big man was about to fall onto the table, he saw a lot of materials on the table in a blink of an eye. He was surprised and stretched out his hand to catch the man at the last moment and threw him to the table.
On the other hand, a table full of materials was not scattered.
Here Chi Mingjing stepped forward, pulled out the girl who was half stuffed, and reached out to take the cloth from her mouth.
The servant behind quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, don't take it yet..."
But he said it too late. Chi Mingjing had already taken off the cloth, and he heard the child's sharp screams that pierced his membranes!
