"It's just over 20 kilometers from our village, at the foot of the mountain to the west. ”

Less than five miles ahead, there is an exit to look west, under the rising sun, the foggy and white mountains are undulating, and it looks very majestic!

After talking along the way, Zheng Dong had some understanding of Shanghe and Xiahe villages.

There is a river in front of the village, from the convergence of many streams in the West Mountain, the river is not wide, it is more than two meters of appearance, Shanghe Village lives upstream, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China to build the village until now, it has been more than 100 years, most of the people in Xiahe Village are fleeing the famine to settle here, from more than 20 years ago because of the drought to snatch the water source and make a human life, the relationship between the two villages has been in deterioration, and even since then the two villages do not intermarry with each other, due to the times and the reason of inconvenient transportation, the situation of more and more singles in the two villages has been created.

The Shashi area is mountainous, and the urban scenery is beautiful, Shanghe Village belongs to the north of Shashi, here belongs to the junction of Shashi and Yue City in later generations, it is located in some remoteness, this place is about to build a tourist attraction around 2010, now it is really poor jingling, there are bamboo houses and grass houses everywhere, there is not even a decent stone house, fortunately, the temperature here is not low, more than 15 °, compared to coming from the north, Zhengdong has a feeling of spring.

After walking more than 20 miles of mountain roads, I arrived at Shanghe Village.

It is said that it is at the foot of the mountain, which always feels like it is halfway up the mountain.

The mountain village is not like the plain village road is flat, there is rarely the phenomenon of going up and down the slope, the mountain village is different, there is no small street on the flat at all, either into a slope of nearly 30 degrees upward, or more than 20 degrees of slope downward, or all of them are curved, people go back and forth to get goods or something with a pick or back, the family conditions are slightly better with a donkey or a horse to things.

"Teacher Dai is back! Your aunt is in a hurry, today's New Year, what about the two dogs?"

A man in his forties walked up, carrying a load of things covered with a cloth, and walked down.

"Uh...... I'm going back ......."

Dai Xinnian agreed awkwardly and led Zheng Dong and Tan Yaohua to his house.

"I didn't expect you to be a teacher!"

Zheng Dong looked at Dai New Year with a smile.

"I ...... In the early years, after a few years of studying, the children in the village were too old to read and write, so I asked the village chief myself to teach the children. ……… When I arrived, I went up to my house, and the people who sold the women should still be at the village chief's house, so you should go and see it together... Or do you want to come to my house and rest your feet first?"

"Let's just go and see it. ”

…………

There were three traffickers, all in their thirties and forties, two men and one woman.

Speaking Mandarin, I can't tell that it's there, and the two men look like honest people, but their appearance and behavior are a little discordant.

"We're going to leave in the third year of junior high school, if you can't come up with the money, we'll send people to Xiahe, don't say we don't give you face in Shanghe Village, it's not easy for us, it's going to take two or three months to run back and forth, it's too long, we can't spend it here all the time. ”

The village chief, an old man in his sixties, held a hookah made of bamboo and smoked two puffs, "Don't worry...... They should be back today. ”

"Uncle, I'm back!"

Dai Xinnian walked over: "There are two Hakka who want to talk to you." ”

"Talk?" the trafficker looked at Zheng Dong and Tan Yaohua.

"Who are they?" the trafficker probably asked with some vigilance when he saw that Zheng Dong and the others were not dressed like people from nearby villages, with a slight anger in his tone.

"It's a guest at my house!"

Dai Xinnian also has little affection for human traffickers.

"Can we look at those four women......? I can offer a better price. ”

Zheng Dong glanced at the trafficker and gave Tan Yaohua a look.

Tan Yaohua opened his handbag, took out three stacks of 100 yuan bills and shook them.

"In the backyard, I'll take you there!" The woman saw the money and walked to the backyard with Zheng Dong and the others with a smile.

At this time, for the traffickers, they are doing business, although they also know that this trade is illegal, in their understanding, as long as they are careful not to be caught by the police.

This is the way this world is, there is a supply for those who are in need, whether it is legal or not, they don't care whether they harm others or not, in their words: "I am also a good thing to accumulate virtue!"

………

It is said to be a backyard, but it is actually two thatched houses behind the bamboo house.

The door was locked from the outside, and the woman took out the key to open it.

"The man is in the house, so go in and see... I'll ask you more, you're going to get them there?...... I mean, if you can afford it, we can do this business together, we have the supply!"

Nima Pipi!

No wonder he was so diligent and relieved to bring us to see people, it turned out that he regarded us as peers!

Zheng Dong's nose was almost crooked.

What kind of eyes do you have? Have you ever seen such a handsome human trafficker?

Besides, I don't think I'm a bad person, do I?

Turned his face to look at Tan Yaohua.

Although I have been very busy in the past few years, I have still gained weight, my face is full of redness, and I have a pair of small eyes.

Well!... Looks like a human trafficker than I am!

Tan Yaohua also slandered in his heart, if he insisted that he and the president were also human traffickers, he would undoubtedly say that he was, because the president didn't look like a bad guy no matter how he looked at it.

The four women are not very old, the oldest is eighteen or nineteen years old, and the youngest is estimated to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with an innocent face, as if they don't know anything about their next fate.

Zheng Dong asked Tan Yaohua and the woman trafficker to step aside to talk, and walked in by himself.

"Are you here to pick us?"

Looks like the youngest one, and speaks with a smile, don't you know that you might be sold to an old man in his thirties and forties?

"How did you get here? Did your family sell you, or were you tricked out of here by a woman out there to get a job?"

Zheng Dong stiffened his face, hoping that the girl in front of him would be serious.

But after asking, Zheng Dong was embarrassed, the four women, who should be girls, did not answer, and actually began to undress in front of him, although he was also a little shy, but he still slowly unbuttoned his clothes and took off his shirt.

“………”

Zheng Dong, who wanted to stop him, burned with anger in his eyes when he saw the bruise and purple scars on the exposed arms and shoulders of the four girls.

I don't need to ask, it seems that I was really deceived as I guessed!

"Do you know what you're doing now?... What are your plans in the future? Do you want to go home? I can help you!"

After feeling that he had asked nonsense, Zheng Dong tried to relax his tone as much as possible.
