Chapter 8 Zhuang Lin was beaten
Twilight looked at the empty position next to her, her hand holding the blood-stained nail tightened, and her eyes were no longer weak, replaced by absolute firmness.
Through the narrow window, she looked at the more and more ships around her, and the noisy shouting was getting louder and louder, which just showed that they were getting closer and closer to Shengjing.
But how do you escape the shackles of human traffickers?
Just as she was meditating, the door opened again, and a burst of meat smell came from afar, and the children around were all eyeing it, except for Yan Dusk, who only felt sick to his stomach when he smelled the meat.
I saw Chen Shouzi walking in with a few boiled chickens, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone has eaten well today!" Everyone has a portion, and everyone has to eat! ”
Yan Du looked at the shiny chickens, and his heart was slightly relieved, fortunately it was not boiled with Xiao Feng's meat, but where did these chickens come from on this broken boat?
Isn't it? Have you arrived at Shengjing Port?
In fact, her guess is not biased, before Li Fatzi ate human flesh, it should be because the meat grain on the ship was eaten, otherwise he should not have taken such a big risk, after all, in the law of Daheng, those who eat human flesh must be beheaded. Shengjing Port is the second largest port in Daheng in addition to Jiangnan Port, it is not uncommon for ships to trade goods in the port, these chickens should be brought back from other grain ships, but such precious grain, the mercenary Chen Slender Man, why is he willing to give them these "goods"?
Yan Du intuitively felt that there was fraud in this matter, but Chen Shouzi suddenly said: "You can't rob it!" I'm just sitting here, staring at you guys to eat! ”
Yan Du looked at Chen Shouzi's fox-like smile at the moment, just like the cautious words of Napunan Temple, hum! Sure enough, it is another poisonous snake that eats people and does not spit out bones.
However, she has learned to cope!
The entire cabin was filled with the sound of chewing, and Chen Shouzi was staring at them, making sure everyone had eaten the meat. Yan Duan, who hid in the corner and pretended to chew, observed Chen Shouzi with his eyes, and after he left, he handed the meat in his hand to the Zhenghuan child who was eating next to him, and the child didn't ask, he took it when he saw the meat, and continued to eat it in a big gulp.
Yan Du looked at the children who were about the same age as herself in the cabin, she kept feeling sorry for herself, but she didn't realize that everyone here was pitiful. This situation reminded her of those poets who scolded Fang Xuan, if she really was here, seeing such a scene, what kind of poems would she write, it was really "There is no idle land in the four seas, and the people are still starving to death"!
She dared to conclude that Chen and Li were by no means the "human teeth" of the subordinates of the official servants, and the people who sold the human teeth were all able to be checked, so that they would be sold to large households. And most of the children on this ship did not sign the deed of sale, and they were abducted back like themselves, and there was no legitimate identity to follow, which was forbidden by the government, and if they were caught, they would be sent to the official and punished.
She still remembered the conversation between Shen Yan and Hui Ming in Punan Temple, and their abducted children would still be sent to the mansions of the officials and nobles, but they were not just slaves......
After a while, the surrounding children fell into a coma one after another, Yan Du shook his head, pretending to be dizzy, and fell to the ground like them.
The night is getting thicker, but the Shengjing wharf is still lively, the unloading workers will send the best spring dew before the rain to the land one by one, two or three carriages are waiting on the shore early, in order to let their master "taste" the most tender goods for the first time, is busy carrying the goods on the car.
"Come, come, come! This batch of 'good-looking' ones was sent to Master Li! Chen Shouzi was directing the people in the carriage, carrying four or five large baskets on the carriage.
"Chen Tu! What should Li Guiwang do with this dead fat man? The workers on the boat shouted loudly, and Yan Duan, who heard it from afar, was cold in his heart, Li Fatzi really didn't die!
Chen Shouzi said loudly in his ugly voice: "Carry it back to his house!" On the outskirts of the western part of the city! ”
Chen Tu, Li Guiwang, the outskirts of the west of the city! Twilight's closed eyes silently carved this information into her mind.
"Oops! Why is this tea so heavy! A newcomer complained and said, but was slapped on the head by an experienced old man next to him, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only lower his voice and scold:
"You don't fucking talk much! Isn't it enough to ship goods honestly! ”
The new young man was also stunned, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he was beaten, and he muttered: "I'm just curious!" Big brother, it's not tea here, it must be some kind of big baby! ”
After speaking, he was about to reach out and lift the burlap black cloth covering the goods, but he was drunk fiercely by the old man: "Okay, you fucking strange!" If you dare to look at it, wait for Master Li not to gouge out your eyes! ”
When the young man saw that the old man was so annoyed, he knew that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to make a big fuss, so he immediately said respectfully: "Don't dare!" Can't! The younger brother is new here, and I ask the eldest brother to guide me more! ”
Feeling the shaking of the basket, Twilight felt that she had been loaded into a carriage-like place, and that she should have gone ashore.
Sheng Jing, she's finally here!
After the surroundings were quiet, Yan Du quietly lifted the black cloth covering her head and looked around cautiously, but fortunately there was no one to guard her! She looked around, and sure enough, she and the other three were carried into a carriage, she observed by the dim light, this carriage was quite elegant, but it was not up to the magnificence of her own mansion, she stared at the small windows on both sides of the carriage, outside was the sound of the wheels rolling, such a fast speed is impossible to jump out of the car, there is someone driving in front, and it must not be facing each other.
What to do? What to do? When the basket is delivered to those people's homes, it will be too late, there must be another way out, Yan Du clenched his fists, thinking desperately.
That's right! The carriages are usually hollow in the seating quarters, and when they walk long distances, they can store their belongings, hide in them, and take the opportunity to slip out when they unload. However, when they see that the basket is empty, they will inevitably search the car and it will be exposed!
Yan Dusk, Yan Dusk, don't you boast that you are rich in five cars, that fake monk Hui Ming also said that you are Manjushri Bodhisattva Tuoshi, and the twenty teachers invited for you at home, among the hundreds of books you read, none of them taught you how to save yourself when you were in danger?
Listening to the sound of the carriage slowing down outside, Yan Du was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and kept knocking on his elm head......
——
While! While! While!
"The second watch, close the doors and windows, prevent theft and theft!" The husband was walking on the Baihu Street, which had gradually become sparsely populated, and the sunset was resting, and at this moment, every household heard the sound of the change, closed the doors and windows, and extinguished the lights. Only a simple carriage still galloped in the night.
The drunkard walking at night, carrying the wine jar in a daze, was shocked by the sudden carriage, accidentally spilled a little wine, and was so heartbroken that he just wanted to open his throat and scold, but when he turned his head, he couldn't see the trace of the car, so he could only whisper angrily: "Hurry up and reincarnate!" ”
The person sitting in the carriage was also dizzy by this extremely fast speed, and helplessly stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said to the driver uncomfortably: "Eichi! Can you slow down, my internal organs are about to be turned upside down! ”
When the coachman who was called Eichi heard this, he turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and saw that he was wearing a maroon brocade robe, with a cyan scroll belt tied around his waist, his clear eyes were slightly tired, and his smooth and fair face was uncomfortably twisted into a ball.
"Young Master Zhuang, didn't you say that you want to go home as quickly as possible?" Ying Yi replied in his undulating voice, thinking in his heart, as soon as this Young Master Zhuang received the news that his mother was seriously ill in Tianji Mountain, he made a lot of noise to go down the mountain, and the old man of Tianjizi couldn't help but agree, and his own son saw that Young Master Zhuang was like an arrow, so he specially ordered himself to escort him back to his home.
Zhuang Lin covered his mouth that was about to spit out, and said with difficulty: "Yes, yes, but not everyone is as strong as your family, and if it goes on like this, I won't be able to withstand it!" ”
After Zhuang Lin finished speaking, he lay back in the car uncomfortably, he regretted that he didn't bring his scholar Leshan and Leshui, at least there was a response along the way.
The third junior brother saw that he loved his mother very much, and arranged for his escort Yingyi to send him, he was grateful in his heart, but he didn't expect Yingyi to be like his master, like a piece of wood, although it took less than a day to rush back to Shengjing, but they didn't communicate at all along the way, looking at the paralyzed face like the junior brother, he had already panicked!
However, as soon as Ying heard his plea, he slowly slowed down the car, but gradually, stopped?!
Now Zhuang Lin wondered again, why did he stop?
He sighed, propped himself up with one hand, lifted the curtain again, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Hearing Zhuang Lin's doubts, Yingyi, who had sharp eyes, pointed straight to the small figure who fell to the ground not far in front of him: "Someone." ”
Zhuang Lin followed the direction he pointed, only to see that there was indeed a small black mass on the dim road ahead, and Zhuang Lin squinted and didn't see what it was.
"It's a child." Eiichi said calmly.
Zhuang Lin turned his head to look at Yingyi, quite surprised, can you see this?! The guards of the third junior brother are much more powerful than their dealers! If it was your own driver, you might run over without even looking.
"Go up and have a look." He wanted to see which of the children came out at night and pretended to be ghosts.
Ying Yi drove forward, until Zhuang Lin clearly saw the child lying on the ground in a coma, only to see that his entire right hand was rubbed with blood, and there were also blood marks on the right side of his forehead.
"He must have jumped from a height and bruised." Eiichi analyzed.
Zhuang Lin looked at the small black shadow on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a little pity, so he picked up the hem of his robe and jumped out of the car. "Young Master Zhuang, little ......" heart, without waiting for Yingyi's instructions, Zhuang Lin had already squatted down and shook the child.
That's right, the person lying on the ground was Yan Duan, but she didn't expect that she thought of dozens of ways, and finally could only wait for the carriage to slow down, and then risk death to jump out of the car. Fortunately, by the sound of the watch, neither driver noticed.
She had long expected that after all, the carriage and horses were still moving, and jumping out from such a high place would inevitably be injured, but she never expected that she would be knocked unconscious.
In a coma, she felt a shaking, didn't she? Is it the one who came to capture her?
She thought to herself: No! You must not be caught at this time, otherwise your efforts will be wasted!
In an instant, I saw her eyes open, clenched her fists, and waved at the man with all her strength!
With a snap, it slammed into the man's face. Before she had time to look closely, she caught a glimpse of the outline of the carriage, and she was convinced that it was the group of people who had come to capture her, so she could only spread her legs and run down the side path.
While! While! While!
The sound of beating was heard again from a distance, leaving the stunned Zhuang Lin and the one person and one horse watching the play on the whole street.
Zhuang Lin was stunned by the sudden punch, his eyes widened, his bloody ruddy mouth opened in a daze, and he stared blankly at the ragged back, he was beaten?! He was beaten?!
He Zhuang Lin has grown so big, he has only been cleaned up by his father, which of the several senior brothers and sisters is not strong in martial arts, with one enemy and one hundred, they all hold him in the palm of their hands and are afraid, today, he was beaten by a little beggar he didn't know? !
"Eichi!" Zhuang Lin covered his left cheek and looked at the "good guard" who was still sitting in the carriage in disbelief, "Did you see that?" ”
"See." Ying nodded, he clearly saw that the child who hit Young Master Zhuang had a frightened face, presumably being being chased.
"Then, why didn't you catch him?" Zhuang Lin blinked his eyes, which were still in shock.
Because, the task assigned to him by the prince was to escort Young Master Zhuang back to his home, not including chasing children. Although Ying Yi thought so, he thought of his own son who respected his teacher and respected his teacher, and he was also very tolerant of Young Master Zhuang on weekdays, so he held the sword in his hand and said, "Go now!" ”
Zhuang Lin, who was still sitting on the ground, watched Ying jump onto the roof, and the next moment disappeared into the night, and he was stunned again.
A gust of east wind blew, Zhuang Lin supported the ground with one hand, brushed his dusty coat, and looked up at the bright Chang Geng star in the sky, looking a little annoyed, but he could only wait quietly......
