Presumably in order to sell the refugees for a good price, the horse thieves beat most of them from that escape, and finally kept them fed and drunk almost every day.

Even passing by a large river, horse thieves forced them to go down and wash their bodies.

Men and women are no longer mixed together, but stand in two teams.

Lin Xingyu was the mastermind of the last escape, and he was beaten the worst, so far the injuries on his body have not healed, and he needs to rely on Lin Zizi to walk.

"Smack!"

The whip whined down with a whining wind.

"Hmm!"

Lin Zizai didn't know where he got the courage, so he directly blocked Lin Xingyu and took this blow for her.

didn't hear the screams that came as scheduled, and the horse thief couldn't help but glance at Lin Zizi more.

Lin Zizi bit his lip without showing weakness and glared back fiercely.

"Ouch! Boy, have a backbone! It's a pity that this body has fine skin and tender meat, if it weren't for the boss's words, uncle, I really want to taste what it's like to be a man. The horse thief's eyes lit up, and he made no secret of his thoughts at the moment.

Lin Xingyu's eyes surged with murderous intent, and he held a fish bone secretly hidden in his sleeve in the palm of his hand.

"You, go and stand over there." The horse thief raised his whip and pointed at Lin Xingyu, who was still hanging on Lin Zizai's body with a disgraced face.

Lin Zizai glanced at the woman who was already standing on the opposite side, grabbed Lin Xingyu's arm tightly, and said to the horse thief: "My sister's injury is not healed yet, so she can't be separated from me." ”

"There's no place for you kid to talk here." The horse thief raised his whip in displeasure and whipped it towards Lin Zizi again.

I didn't want to, but I was grabbed by Lin Xingyu, who seemed to be sick, and circled the horsewhip in his hand by the way: "If the uncle wants to embarrass my brother and sister, then I can only get two corpses, anyway, without my brother, I can't survive." ”

"Old scoop, what are you still doing over there? After a while, they will come to collect people, so let them all stand up and don't make any trouble. The horse thief not far away looked in their direction and urged.

"Alright, come right away." Lao Lao replied loudly with his throat, and when he looked back at the two sisters and brothers who depended on each other, he didn't force the two to separate, but just said in a low voice: "You two can not be separated, but don't make trouble for Lao Tzu again, otherwise, you will suffer." ”

Obviously, what Lin Xingyu said had an effect, these refugees were all used to exchange for silver, and if they died, they lost a sum of money.

If two people suddenly die under the nose of the old scoop, the leader of the horse thieves must not beat him half to death.

Lin Zizi supported Lin Xingyu and nodded.

After Lin Xingyu walked away, he shot out the slender fish bone in his hand and pierced it straight into the back of Lao Lao's neck.

The old scoop reached out and scratched his neck as if he felt something, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he continued to walk forward.

These series of actions were very hidden, but they were still seen by a sharp eye.

The men and women stood apart, and a group of refugees stayed where they were, and it wasn't long before they heard several horse thieves running from a distance on their horses.

"Boss, the price has already been negotiated, just waiting for Brother Long's people to come and see the goods and pay the silver."

The leader of the horse thieves nodded, and told the younger brothers to take care of the goods and not make any trouble.

"Sister, where are they going to sell us?" Lin Zizai heard the conversation of the horse thieves and couldn't help asking.

Lin Xingyu's ears are extraordinary, and he naturally listens to all the content of their conversations clearly.

"Women would be sold to be prostitutes, and men would be sold as slaves to rich families."

Lin Zizai said with a white face: "They blatantly buy and sell people, don't the imperial court care?" ”

The corners of Lin Xingyu's mouth grinned with a sarcastic arc: "The collusion of officials and bandits is all about doing things with money, who cares about the powerless people." ”

"So what do we do? Do you really want to be a slave for the rich? Lin Zizai now blindly worships Lin Xingyu, as if as long as she is there, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, he will not feel afraid.

Lin Xingyu's eyes flashed, and a few clusters of different colors swept by, and he said with deep meaning: "Naturally, I want to be a slave, but we have to decide how to be there when we get there." ”

Lin Zizai looked at Lin Xingyu blankly, not understanding what she meant at all.

It was a group of men dressed as a family entourage.

"Brother Long, come to inspect the goods?" The leader of the horse thieves asked one of the scarred men in the group.

Brother Long glanced at the leader of the horse thieves, turned his face and said to a middle-aged man in gray shirt who was walking in front: "Steward Ming, take a look, how is this batch of goods?" ”

Steward Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." ”

These are obviously young and strong first-class goods, what is Shang Ke?

Although Brother Long was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say it, so he only smiled on the side.

This Ming steward is a person who can speak well in the Meng family, and if he offends him, he offends the God of Wealth, who still can't get along with silver.

"That's... Tea stewardship. Brother Long rubbed his fingers, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Steward Ming was quite happy to do things, and directly took out a few silver tickets and handed them to Brother Long: "I want all the men, or according to the old rules, give half first, send people to the boat and then settle the remaining half." ”

Brother Long pinched the silver ticket, smiled and nodded again and again: "That's natural, this group of people will be delivered intact before tonight." ”

After Steward Ming left with a group of subordinates, Brother Long gave two-thirds of the silver given by Steward Ming to the leader of the horse thieves, and asked him to bring the men among the refugees to the position designated by Steward Ming.

It's not the first time they've done such a thing, and they don't need anyone's guidance to complete the process.

The women were left where they were, and more than 1,300 men were taken by horse thieves to a place by the Yellow River.

The river was muddy, the waves were surging and flowing, and a huge wooden boat floated on the surging surface.

It is not until the sailboat is in front of you that you can feel the enormity of this sailboat.

Lin Xingyu looked at the shocking sailboat in front of him, and couldn't help but start estimating its capacity in his heart.

"Go up, hurry up, climb up!"

The horse thieves shoved the refugees and drove them onto the boats.

After the group got on board, they were arranged in the lowest cargo hold.

There was not a single window in the cargo hold, and it was pitch black and smelly.

"Bang!"

With the sound of the door closing, more than a thousand refugees were isolated in an underground warehouse of several hundred square meters.

After adapting to the darkness in the warehouse, Lin Xingyu pulled Lin Zizai, who had been holding her arm, and walked slowly towards a place where there were few people.

"Girl!" At this moment, her other arm was suddenly grabbed.

Lin Xingyu reflexively brought his elbow around and kicked it sideways.

The man nimbly dodged.

Lin Xingyu didn't hesitate, and when he was about to punch, the voice sounded again.

"Don't get me wrong, girl, I have no ill intentions."
