Xu Rui sighed and sat against the wall. The smell of feces, urine and decay could not help but penetrate his nostrils.
Surrounded by Hanako beggars sitting and standing, as well as a cold, cold, smelly and dirty cell, he never imagined that he would end up in this situation.
Three days ago, he was a coder who graduated from a bachelor's degree, went to work conscientiously, exercised regularly, and stayed away from women's rights. However, when he returned to his hometown on the 11th, he fell asleep on the high-speed train, and when he woke up, he was a beggar huddled on the street, covered in rags.
The strange thing is that the body is still his, not the soul.
What's even more unlucky is that as soon as he passed through, before he could think about his future, he was caught and thrown into prison by the wolf-like government officials.
Crying about injustice?
This is the Republic of China that eats people but doesn't spit out their bones. You are helpless and a beggar. Who cares about you?
Fortunately, as a time traveler, he still has a golden finger.
Something moved in my heart.
A light screen the size of a computer screen emerged from nothingness.
Lines of writing appear.
Host: Xu Rui.
Cultivation: None.
Qualification: Acquired Mortal Body (87%)
Kung Fu: None.
Marrow washing point: 0 point.
It's a pity that until now, he doesn't know how to use this golden finger.
Moreover, this world did not seem to be the Republic of China as he knew it, but a world of gods, ghosts, and practitioners.
In the past few days as Hanako, he had heard more than once that someone's house was haunted and stories about Taoist priests subduing demons.
If it's just a story, that's it. My golden finger is undoubtedly a proof.
As soon as my heart moved, the light screen disappeared.
He had already verified that only he could see this light screen.
"But how can we escape from this prison?"
Being in jail, even if he has a golden finger, it will be in vain.
"Wow...!"
Several prison guards unlocked the cell door.
"Get up, everyone, get up. What about you, get up quickly."
Kicked and beaten, the prisoners got up in embarrassment and were pushed out of the cell amid violent driving. Xu Rui was among them, looking around.
At this moment, he felt quite panicked.
It's definitely not a good thing to kick people out in the middle of the night.
But those jailers were either holding old sleeves or holding knives. With his skills, he would definitely not be able to escape.
"If I had known that I should practice boxing when I was working out, it would have started to work at critical moments."
After regretting it, he discovered a few things worth noting.
All the people who were driven out were young adults around twenty years old, and there were a large number of them, no less than two hundred.
"You won't sell us as slaves, will you?"
During the Republic of China, countless Chinese people were sold as piglets and flowed around the world.
Just as he was thinking about it, more than thirty men in black robes, holding swords and swords across their shoulders, and many wearing old sleeves on their backs, appeared in front of him.
Obviously, they had been waiting outside the prison for a long time.
When they saw them coming out, a tall and strong man with a box of cannons in his waist and a scar on his left cheek, which added to his fierceness, emerged from the crowd.
"Haha, brother Xiong, thank you very much this time. When things are over, we will put some wine in Deyue Tower and treat the brothers to a drink."
A fat man wearing a black police uniform quickly stepped forward.
With a pleasing smile on his face.
"Brother Shi, you are so polite. You and I are still so outspoken."
Shi Hu smiled slightly and waved his hand.
The man in black robe behind him opened the wooden box in his hand and arranged the silver coins neatly.
Seeing the benefits, the smile on Xiong Bofei's fat face grew stronger.
"Haha, this is so embarrassing."
Although he said this, he did not hesitate in collecting the money.
"Brother Xiong, I will take you away. Let's get together again after this busy period is over."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Xiong Bofei gave an order, and the prison guards handed all the prisoners to the strong men in black who had been prepared.
Watching the group of people go away.
"Brother-in-law, why do you think Shihu needs so many people?"
A young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, wearing a police uniform, came over.
"Whatever they do, as long as they make us rich."
"If they discover some great treasure, such as a gold mine or something, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"
Xiong Bofei narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head.
"Xiao Liuzi, do you know why your brother-in-law and I are still the chief of police in Xiangyin County after all these years?"
"Hehe, of course, brother-in-law, you are very talented, skillful and experienced, so the county magistrate has to rely on you."
"You're really good at flattering me. But apart from what you said, we still know what we can and can't get involved in."
After a pause, his little eyes suddenly became dark.
"This world is not as simple as you see it. It is better to take less care of some things. Otherwise, people will die!"
…
Here Xu Rui and the others have been escorted out of the city.
If you can bribe the police chief, it won't be a problem to go out in the city at night.
When they arrived outside the city gate, another group of men in black approached.
At the same time, hundreds of people were driven into Xu Rui's team.
However, these later people were obviously not like them. They had ruddy faces and although their clothes were simple, they were still complete.
At first glance, you can tell that they are ordinary people, or even from a wealthy family who live a decent life.
For example, the guy who squeezed next to him was tall and strong, and he could smell the smell of raw pork when he got close.
Probably a butcher.
With a bruised nose and swollen face, it was obvious that he had been cleaned up.
Because of this moment of chaos, there were many whispers, but they were quickly suppressed by the shining bayonets.
The strong man in black kept silent and drove everyone to continue walking along the road.
Nearly four hundred people were just silent, meandering forward in the dark night.
Gradually, the terrain became more and more rugged, and the long wheat fields turned into steep slopes covered with weeds and gravel.
'quack…!'
The shrill crows sounded particularly desolate in the thick night.
The dark barren mountains in the distance seem to be lurking with endless monsters, which makes people feel chilly.
As the terrain gets higher, the surrounding pine trees begin to become denser.
At the same time, a vague odor began to appear, and it became stronger and stronger.
"Stop."
Shi Hu gave an order and the team stopped.
The strong men in black drove everyone together.
"Maybe some of you have discovered it. Yes, this is the mass grave outside Xiangyin City. Over the hundreds of years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, countless beggars and homeless people, bandits and bandits have been buried here. Many dead people have been buried here.
, it is inevitable that there are ghosts at work. Of course, I don’t know whether this is true or false.”
"The next thing you have to do is to enter the mass grave and find the Li family tomb in the innermost part. There is a token we have placed there in advance. As long as you get it, you can come out."
He smiled coldly, his tone full of threats.
"Of course, many of you must be thinking. After entering, just run away without taking the token. No problem, as long as you are not afraid of being killed by the gunmen I put outside."
"But if it were me, I would definitely not run away. Even if I ran away, I would just continue to be a playboy, an actor, a low-level job. I would not make any money, I would be looked down upon by others all my life, and I would not even know my mother-in-law.
It’s our taste. Instead of living in vain, it’s better to give it a try.”
