Chapter 229: Saving People and Fighting Fires
A fourteen-year-old boy with a slender and thin body, and his face was pale from excessive blood loss. Zhuo Tong has already dealt with the injuries on Qiao Hongyi's body. In addition to a hideous bloody wound on his head, there were bruises and tears caused by the addition of sticks all over his body. In one word, the child's current situation is miserable.
"What's going on? How could it hurt so badly? Shu Jin looked at Qiao Hongyi's miserable appearance, looked up and asked Ge Cunzhong.
Ge Cunzhong explained: "I asked Ah Wu about the residents near their residence, and I heard that this child had recently borrowed some paper and pen from Wen Moxuan's people, so he set up a stall on Huiyang Street to write letters on his behalf. Every day, I changed a few copper plates and went back to exchange for some steamed buns, and a few children barely had preserved fruits, so they didn't come to us again.
The day before yesterday, Qiao Hongwei contracted a cold, Qiao Hongyi went out alone, the weather was bad, he closed the stall at noon and planned to go home to take care of his younger brother, and then at night, there was no one in their residence.
The neighbors said that they seemed to hear the cries of children next door when it was dark, but they were not seen again for a short time.
Ah Wu and I thought that Qiao Hongwei had an accident, so I inquired in many ways, and I didn't hear that there was a funeral yesterday, but Ah Wu heard that someone had seen an ox cart dragging several marijuana bags near the children's residence. ”
When Ge Cunzhong said this, he saw Shu Jin's eyebrows furrowed, so he continued, "That person also said that those sacks seem to be moving......
"Slightly?"
Ge Cunzhong nodded.
"I guess I can't be wrong. Master, this is ...... Shall we care? ”
Shu Jin was a little surprised by his hesitant tone. She looked at Ge Cunzhong and asked:
"What else have you found, let's talk about it together."
Ge Cunzhong heard this. There was silence, as if to sort out the language, and then he spoke again:
"Weiwei They have all noticed that there are fewer and fewer children among beggars recently, in fact, Ah Wu and I have also noticed it. Lately every night. There are always people driving out of town, and there are always more or less sacks in the cars. It is because of this that we were able to find Qiao Hongyi so quickly. We doubt it. It should be someone who took advantage of this opportunity to slightly reduce the number of orphans and beggars. ”
"You found him outside the city?"
"Yes, in a secluded woods just outside the city. It is estimated that he was seriously injured, so he was thrown there to fend for himself. ”
"That. Have you investigated further? Is there anything suspicious? ”
“…… No. ”
"Why don't you check?" Shu Jin frowned. Ge Cunzhong is a very careful person. Logically. If he found Qiao Hongyi's traces, he should pursue it further, usually he would investigate the cause and effect of the cause and effect, and then report to her. This time, there was an unusual lack of in-depth investigation.
Why?
Ge Cunzhong heard Shu Jin's doubts, raised his head and glanced at Ah Wu. looked at the twin little sisters who were taking care of Qiao Hongyi on the side, and finally told Shu Jin the reason.
"Every year, there are always people who go around looking for orphans or young children. Some of these children were simply taken away and sold into slavery. But there are also children who will become like them. ”
"Evil?" Shu Jin's pupils shrank.
Does this mean that someone caught a child and planned to train him to be a dead soldier?
"Yes." Ah Wu was silent, but at this time, he suddenly opened his mouth, "Gather these children in one place for training, they don't have contact with outsiders, they are not allowed to talk at will, they just need to obey the training orders, and let them do whatever they want, after such cruel training for a few years, they will no longer remember what their surnames are, where they come from, and they will not have any personality fetishes, let alone care about good and evil." At that time, they will only know how to do what they are told.
The meaning of their existence is to be the tools of the master and serve the master. ”
Shu Jin was a little surprised that Ah Wu, who had always been taciturn, said so much in one mouth, but now was not the time to entangle Ah Wu's abnormality.
"Are you saying that someone arrested Qiao Hongyi's younger brother, not for human trafficking, but for training?"
"We're not really sure, but it should be about the same. If it's a slight person, there's no reason to beat him like this and then abandon him.
But when it comes to training, it's different. He is not young, not only can he remember, but most importantly, he is an assertive and determined child. Such a child is not easy to train, and if he can't wipe out his own mind, it will be a waste of effort. So, if you can't accept it, you throw it away. Ah Wu said.
"Those who can have the ability to catch people and train people are usually not simple people, everyone is a big family, the branches are luxuriant, and the whole body is moved, and rashly investigating or meddling will lead to fire." Ge Cunzhong said, in his tone, there was more of a reminder to Shu Jin, "However, this method is actually very useful." Master, you don't know yet, Ah Wu has participated in such training. Before they were killed, many of them had been trained by Ah Wu's hands. But then Ah Wu was transferred away and did other tasks. ”
When Shu Jin heard this, he looked at Ah Wu with a little surprise, no wonder he had just talked so much and his expression was so complicated. However, Shu Jin didn't say anything on this point, but looked at Ge Cunzhong again.
Was he warning her that it was best not to meddle in her affairs, or was he reminding her that she could also get some orphans to train herself to become a dead soldier?
"Among those orphans and little beggars, I have seen some of them with good bones, but now they are all gone. At first, I thought about reminding my master. But I was afraid that you wouldn't want to, so I didn't mention it. ”
In fact, Ge Cunzhong wanted to suggest Shu Jin at the first glance when he saw those little beggars, these children, instead of providing them with food every day, it is better to receive them all in a Zhuangzi and train slowly. When they grow up, they can definitely be Shu Jin's most loyal and sharpest subordinates.
However, seeing Shu Jin busy with her "sugar industry" every day, and occasionally going to the weaving mill to ponder the loom and cloth, he swallowed back the advice that came to his lips.
Shu Jin is ambitious, but not in this regard. Just by looking at the nameplate she holds and never uses the nameplate of King Yong, you know that she doesn't have much desire for power. After training, she will be a dead soldier, I'm afraid she won't like it.
Shu Jin blinked and looked at Ge Cunzhong.
This guy really knows himself. In the last days, I saw many people who had no dignity and no human rights struggling to survive. She would not allow herself to be treated like this, and likewise, she had no interest in imposing such pain on others.
Gathering her subordinates, she also disdained to use her ability to intimidate and coerce. Therefore, even if he knew, he could not afford to train the dead.
Well, now here's the problem. These children, to save or not to save? (To be continued......)
