217 Devil's Cave
"Ah......h
It is not like the wailing of human beings drifting in the rain, one after another, overshadowing the sound of the wind and the sound of the rain.
The surrounding houses are still quiet, most of them are pitch black, for people living in this turbulent neighborhood, personal self-cleaning in front of the snow is the most important, curiosity or something is nothing compared to survival, so most of the people close the doors and windows, curled up in the quilt and panting, and some children are busy holding the child in their arms, for fear that the child will be frightened and cry.
Every change of dynasty is always accompanied by bloody rain, and this is also the case in this neighborhood.
The old people who have lived in this neighborhood for decades have lost count of how many times something like this has happened, and there are always nights like this, with similar screams, fires, gunshots, and fights......
Sometimes it's dark and windy, sometimes it's stormy like tonight, and of course, there's also when the moon is bright and the stars are scarce......
The next morning, a large number of police officers entered, and in a small building, many corpses were carried out with shrouds, and some acquaintances who were usually seen in the neighborhood disappeared and were replaced by some unfamiliar faces, and gradually, these strange faces became familiar, and they experienced something similar one night, and then disappeared the next day.
Of course, sometimes some acquaintances disappear, but there are also some acquaintances, and after that, some unfamiliar faces slowly join.
This means that in the battle that night, the leader of the organization was not replaced by the new forces, but suppressed the invasion of the new forces, still controlled the entire neighborhood, and still held the power.
"Sleep......"
After the big-hearted fellow gave two admonitions, he fell asleep in this terrible wail.
Tomorrow morning, but also to go to the port to unload the goods, tonight sleep is insufficient, tomorrow there will be no strength to work, work can not carry much goods, the labor is piecework to get wages, the goods are less, the wages will be less, the family will be hungry, if the mind is in a trance, it may also be injured, and it will have to stop work, in that case, a family may slide into the abyss.
Whatever happens, it's none of your business.
Of course, even if the tragedy falls on their heads, even if those fights affect their own family, what can they do?
Revolt?
Pointless!
I can only bear it silently!
In this case, they can only sleep with a big heart, after all, this is the only thing they can do.
Awakened by the wails of the fight, Mary did not curl up in the bed and shiver, but got out of the cover, put on her thick clothes, opened the door and went out, and stood on the balcony and looked out not far away.
There, there were gunshots, cries, and lights shining like a port that had been busy all night.
It was a place she knew, and though she had not been there, she had come into contact with her companions who had come out of it, and in her apartment, two of the companions with whom she had lived.
Although her companions were secretive about the situation there, in the dead of night, when everyone was drunk, there were also a few words that gave her a little understanding of the place.
When she went out, she had looked at the other beds.
There was no one in all three beds.
Unlike the other two, who often came back drunk the next day, Landingale was the only one who didn't drink at all, and she was more reluctant to pay that little money than to numb herself with alcohol and forget her pain.
Why hasn't this miserly come back yet?
Counting the time, Landingale should be back, she never spends the night outside, this cramped small apartment with four people is her safe place, no matter how tired she is, she doesn't spend the night outside, but goes back to sleep.
Yawning, Maria blinked, and there were some tears in the corners of her eyes, which she did not wipe away, but let the tears hang in the corners of her eyes, still looking indifferently at the place where the fire was shining in the distance.
As a native of this neighborhood, as a young prostitute who was sold to others by her father when she was a teenager, she has no expectations for everything in this world, nor nostalgia, but lives indifferently, for her, alcohol and the smiles of her companions are her only motivation to live, so she is now penniless, and all the money she earns is used on alcohol, and occasionally, she will help her companions.
To be alive is nothing but inertia.
For Redbeard, when she was drunk, although she was just as disgusting and abusing as her companions, and wished that the other party would die without a place to be buried, in fact, she didn't have any waves in her heart, and she didn't have much hatred.
I don't have a red beard, but I want a black beard and a blue beard......
Their fate will not change in the slightest, no matter who they are, they will have to pay protection money, they will be humiliated and persecuted!
Looking blankly, Maria picked up the bottle and took a big sip to her mouth, the spicy alcohol irritated her throat and made her frown, she laughed, and tears burst out of her eyes.
She just looked over there, watching the dazzling light, listening to the roar of bullets, listening to the wails of the people, like watching a huge fireworks display.
......
The basement of a small building.
Compared to the above-ground building, the underground part of this small building is even wider and has more rooms.
The small building has four floors on the ground and five floors on the ground, each floor is heavily guarded, and all the rooms have thick iron doors like prisons, and the world behind the iron gates is no different from a prison.
It's just that most of the prisons are filled with vicious villains, and in these rooms, women who are unwilling to sell their bodies are imprisoned.
Among these women, there are those whose families cannot afford to pay off their debts and are robbed by Redbeard to pay off their debts, there are also young women who have come from the countryside to the city to beg for a living, and there are female factory workers who have been deceived by the oily guys......
Because they don't want to sell their bodies, they need to be re-educated and experience something that impresses them before they let them out.
Here, after a month of re-education at most, these women will cry and cry for the red-bearded man, and after going out, they will only work diligently, of course, there will be occasional rebellion, such as running away, or asking for help from the outside world, hoping that the police master can help them, and they have only one fate, that is, they will be arrested and returned here, and brutally disposed of in front of other women who are still being re-educated, and finally, they will become a corpse buried in the back of the small building, becoming a part of countless white bones.
Of course, there are also women who can't afford to be re-educated, and who have accepted God's call before they go out.
These unlucky eggs are also part of the dirt behind the small building.
The underground building is so wide and divided into several floors, and in order to maintain ventilation, there are naturally huge vents, and the women on the negative floor can clearly hear the sound coming from above.
Some people are uneasy, while others are hopeful......
As a weakling, they can only passively accept, whether it is oppression or salvation!
......
In the small building, there is a room that is beautifully furnished.
Located on the top floor of the small building, this room has several similar rooms, furnished and furnished by faithful servants who have served noble families all their lives.
This is where Redbeard entertains those distinguished guests.
No one was allowed to enter or leave except Redbeard and a few servants who cleaned the room.
On the top floor, there is a special passage through which Redbeard's guests enter and exit, and their unmarked black carriages lead directly to the entrance of the passage, and then enter the small building through the passageway, without meeting anyone.
Now, the noble prince and his bodyguards will also leave through this passage.
"Hold her ......"
Before leaving, the black-robed man said to Redbeard.
Redbeard, who had always been proud and arrogant, could only nod.
He didn't know Landingale, there were many women who worked for him, and the street girl was only the bottom layer, which didn't bring him much benefit, and he didn't have the slightest impression, so he didn't know why Landingale came to the door.
In his opinion, this should be the trouble caused by that nobleman.
It's just that this guy is his backer, even if it is the trouble brought by the other party, he must face it and solve it, even if all the foundation here is lost, as long as he is still alive, as long as he still has the value of use, the backer will also make him make a comeback.
Walk to the entrance of the passage, in front of a hanging staircase behind the small building.
The black-robed man whispered.
"Your Excellency, you go first......"
The young man did not look back, did not stop, but nodded his head as he sprinted.
In this building, he still has a hand tail to clean up, although his family and the other party's family are feuding, but, what he did today is actually out of bounds, if the other party catches the real hammer, his family will also pay a certain price, after all, the battle between nobles also abides by certain rules, although there is a similar behavior in private, but must not be caught by the enemy.
......
In front of the small building, the riots continued.
"Ahh
A gangster had just stabbed his former companion in the lower abdomen with a knife and was about to kick him away.
These guys who are good at street fighting all know a truth, knives, stabbing can bring more damage to the opponent than chopping, so when the former companion rushed towards him indifferently, he subconsciously swung the knife and stabbed directly, and the sharp tip of the knife pierced into the lower abdomen of the guy who did not dodge at all, poking a big hole, and the tip of the knife leaked out of the opponent's back.
However, the injuries that were enough to kill the person did not hurt the man in the slightest.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that his companion had died before, and now, he was just a walking corpse!
Just as he was panicking, the original companion had already hugged him, as if he was firmly trapped by a chain, and he struggled hard to get rid of this hug.
The other's head was jerked down, and he lay down on his neck, biting hard.
"Ahh
He let out a piercing wail and looked up at the stars, his eyes full of pain.
