Chapter 446: It turns out that I don't have a choice
It's just that the reason for this is so obscure that outsiders don't even know what's going on. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The furnace repaired the volley plank road, if it was not to lead the army to invade Dagu, it would be ......
Cai Hua's voice interrupted her dead end: "Look over there!"
Following what he pointed out, at the mouth of a dark alley, two people mysteriously handed over, and then one handed over the package in his hand to the other, took the other person's money and hurriedly left.
It looks like it's just a mysterious deal. Xue Ying was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"No," Cai Hua clutched his chest, his face ugly, "This scene makes me very uncomfortable, so things are definitely not as simple as they seem." ”
Xue Ying thought about it for a while, and knocked on the bangzi hanging on the side to summon the shopkeeper. There happened to be someone in that mysterious corner who was making the same transaction, and Xue Ying asked, "What is that?"
"The guest is from out of town, right?" said the shopkeeper with a smile.
"Hmm. Xue Ying threw him a piece of broken silver.
Only then did the shopkeeper officially begin to answer: "This is called 'baby market'." This year is the time when the mother-in-law can give birth to a baby the most, and it is common for a child to give birth to three or four, but even if it is a good year, you have to prepare for the disaster year, right? Therefore, if you can't afford to raise too much, you will pick the strongest one to stay, and the rest will be buried outside the rich family, and the baby will be buried in the ground, and the poor family will be taken to the 'baby market' to sell. ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper stopped talking.
Xue Ying didn't ask any more, and said expressionlessly: "I know, you go down." ”
After the shopkeeper left, Cai Hua breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's the case." It's pitiful that flesh and blood are separated. No wonder I was out of breath. ”
"It's not that simple. Xue Ying grimaced, "You also heard it just now, wealthy people can only give children who don't want to raise a 'soil for peace', who will be bored to come to the 'baby market' to buy children to go back to raise?" 'Soil for peace' is a good ending, and being sold in the 'baby market' is a tragic ending, where is the gap?"
Cai Hua grew his mouth, and his face first turned red like a pig's liver, and then slowly became as white as a ghost: "What do you mean?"
Xue Ying's eyes were as cold and hard as ice cubes: "It's not human babies who are being bought and sold, it's meat." ”
Cai Hua retched, and his face became like a dead man.
Xue Ying got up: "Okay, I know enough information today, go back and digest it slowly." ”
"Xue Ying," Cai Hua called out to her, "Are you okay?"
Xue Ying looked back slowly, her face stiff as if she was covered with a mask: "I'm not a superhero, I don't want to save the world." ”
Cai Hua didn't understand: "What?"
Xue Ying turned around and left, leaving an even more inexplicable sentence: "It turns out that I don't have a choice." ”
………………
When I woke up the next day, I found that Cai Hua's eyes were red and bloodshot, the white hair on her temples became more and more obvious, and the wrinkles between her eyebrows could almost kill flies, and she looked more than ten years old.
Xue Ying blinked: "What's wrong with you?"
Cai Hua smiled bitterly: "I found someone to learn more about the situation yesterday. ”
Xue Ying raised her eyebrows and didn't ask much: "Then you definitely won't be able to eat now." I'm going to eat, how are you going to be? ”
Although she said this, Cai Hua still followed her: "What are you going to do?"
Xue Ying didn't reply: "What's the matter with you?"
"I'll go with you!"
Xue Ying finally stopped and turned to look at him: "Are you annoyed?"
"It's not annoying. Whatever you have to do, I'll go with you. Cai Hua insisted.
Xue Ying "cut": "This is only the south of northern Xinjiang, and it is a relatively wealthy place." You've only just learned that you've been scared like this by just a little bit of skin, wouldn't you be scared crazy if you continued?"
"If you can hold it, I can hold it. ”
"Don't climb me, I don't have time to talk to you. ”
"If you don't take me with you, you won't be able to move an inch in northern Xinjiang. ”
Xue Ying had already turned around, but when she heard the words, she turned back: "What do you mean?"
Cai Hua spread his hands: "This is what the hidden king means." ”
Xue Ying gritted her teeth: "Bastard!"
Cai Huacai didn't care what her mood was, and continued to stick to her. Seeing that she ordered a large table of breakfast, her eyes widened: "Can you still eat?"
"Why can't you eat it?" Xue Ying picked up the bun and took a big bite, her eyes were fierce, "When you are full, you have the strength to work." ”
Hearing this, Cai Hua thought about it, and also picked up the bun and ate it viciously.
"You're right, this is a relatively wealthy place in northern Xinjiang, so the 'baby market' is only carried out secretly after the sun goes down, and yesterday the shopkeeper told me that further north, this kind of thing happens in broad daylight, especially in disaster years. ”
Cai Hua looked at Xue Ying, who was expressionless: "The good news is that the newly planted grain harvest in the Western Regions here in Sucheng this year is good, and if it can be further promoted, the food crisis can be greatly alleviated......"
"No, you can't. Xue Ying interrupted him.
"Why?"
"Because they have to store up grain and prepare for a year of calamity. Unless the 'turn in ten years and turn in ten years' is completely cut off, the promotion of grain in the Western Regions is nothing more than cultivating more 'leeks'. ”
"No matter how powerful the physiognomy is, he can only predict, and changing the climate is something that God can do. ”
Xue Ying lowered her eyes: "Isn't it?"
Cai Hua was almost dying: "What plan do you have to say quickly, don't talk about it?"
"No plan, let it be. ”
Cai Hua leaned back, frustrated and angry: "If you can be ruthless, I'll take off my head for you! To put it bluntly, you still don't trust me, and you don't want to tell me, right?"
Xue Ying looked helpless: "What I said is true." ”
"How is that possible...... Wait, could it be that the hidden king's side has some plan?" Cai Hua made a judgment from Xue Ying's subtle expression and clenched his fists, "I know that there is a reason why I bet on the Cai family to go with him! This is the apocalypse, and God is prompting me to complete my mission." ”
Xue Ying rolled her eyes: "Okay, okay, you're amazing." ”
Cai Hua was not affected by her, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "I don't know what I need to do next? It would be great if I could save so many people in northern Xinjiang." ”
"Even if the price is broken bones?" Xue Ying continued to pour cold water.
"Of course. "Cai Hua is categorical.
"It's brave. Xue Ying's praise was insincere.
Cai Hua finally realized something: "You don't seem to be very interested, don't you want to save these people?"
"I said, I don't have a choice. Think or don't want to, the result is the same. Xue Ying drank the soy milk in one gulp. "Let's go, let's cooperate with me today to inspect the grain harvest. ”
Cai Hua leaned over: "And then?"
"Wait for those who are watching us to let their guard down and look for an opportunity to head north. ”
Cai Hua was puzzled: "Why are you sneaky?"
"Even if it is grain in the Western Regions, not all places can grow it. Only these areas in the north of Xinjiang can be planted in the south, and the central and northern parts of Xinjiang have not yet started experiments, so it would not make sense if I continued north under the pretext of inspecting the harvest. ”
"But you want to go north?"
Xue Ying's expression was resolute: "This is just the gate of hell, I want to see what the real hell is like." ”
