Chapter 674: Old Acquaintances
"Drops? Why? Zhao Yunling asked with some confusion.
The villager laughed, and that kind of smile was very unfriendly. "Why do you think it can be? Let me put it this way, you are no different from a cow and a sheep now. It's just that it's more expensive than the cattle and sheep, and soon a merchant will come to us and take your money. Then you won't have to stay here anymore. ”
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan originally thought that an enemy had found out about them, so these villagers would treat them like this. But they didn't expect that this thing was completely different from what they thought, and the villagers were selling them as commodities.
It can be said that these villagers are human traffickers, and they are the goods in the hands of human traffickers.
After the villagers said those words to Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan, they grabbed the silver and left quickly for fear that Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan would snatch the silver back again, or that other villagers would know about his revelation.
Lava and Zhang Ming just looked outside almost again, but found it. The villagers outside are still very tightly guarded, and they have no spells or weapons now, so it seems that there is no hope of escaping.
"Rong Yan, what are we going to do?" Zhao Yunling said a little dazedly.
She had never encountered this situation before, and she didn't expect that she and Rong Yan were so old that they would be coveted because of their appearance and wanted to sell them.
"It seems that we can't make sense with these villagers, so we might as well go with the merchant then. Negotiate secretly to see if there is room for reversal in this matter, if it still doesn't work, then we can only find another way. Rong Yan said.
He was very calm, even a little indifferent. Because he has already thought about the way back, they will definitely be able to get out, but now they still have to wait.
But they didn't have to wait long, the merchant soon arrived, and the villagers brought them to the merchant. But what they didn't expect was that this time they met a familiar face.
"Li Yuanwai, why are you?" Zhao Yunling exclaimed in surprise.
"Rong Yan, Mrs. Rong, how did you become the way you are now?" That Li Yuanwai was obviously very surprised.
"Quick, quick, loosen the rope." Li Yuanwai hurriedly waved to the villagers.
The villagers hesitated for a moment, and when they saw Li Yuanwai's unkind face, they hurriedly untied the ropes tied to Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan's hands.
"Li Yuanwai, this is a long story. But how did you get into this kind of business? Zhao Yunling asked with some curiosity.
Li Yuanwai laughed twice, "Haha, that's nothing, it's just that you just need someone." But how did you get tied up by these villagers, didn't you have anyone with you? ”
Zhao Yunling shook his head and said with a wry smile, "No, we don't even know what kind of place this is, we were originally saved by these villagers, but we didn't expect them to do this to us." ”
Li Yuanwai keenly caught what Zhao Yunling said, "They don't even know what this place is", so he pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "Then are you going back now?" ”
"Yes, if it's convenient for you, why don't you give us a ride?" Zhao Yunling asked tentatively.
Li Yuanwai suddenly made a bitter face, "I want to, after all, we are so familiar with each other, we can't talk about it without a hand, but I really have more than enough heart and not enough strength." I originally came here to buy two slaves to go back, but I didn't expect that not only did I not buy slaves, but I also met you, the location here is biased, and I also hired a lot of workers, and now my own can be lost, so how can I help you? ”
"Tell me straight, what do you want?" Rong Yan spoke up at this time.
Obviously, this Li Yuanwai is an out-and-out businessman, and the idea of buying two slaves is just a nice rhetoric, he is a human trafficker in the skin and meat business.
And he said all this just to show them how hard he was, so that he could benefit from them.
Li Yuanwai suddenly laughed, "I like to talk to smart people, so I also save a lot of trouble, then I'll say it directly, I remember that you have a caravan in Fu Country, right, I want half of the caravan's supplies." ”
"Half of the supplies?" Zhao Yunling exclaimed.
Their relative accumulation was more than ten years old, and if they gave half of the supplies to Li Yuanwai, it would be equivalent to nearly five or six years of their hard work in vain.
Li Yuanwai saw Zhao Yunling's hesitation at a glance, and immediately smiled again, "Actually, I think this deal is very cost-effective, if you continue to stay here, these villagers will tie you up again and sell you to the next merchant, I don't know what that merchant does, but you will definitely not go out so easily." Isn't it worth exchanging half of your supplies for the lives of the two of you? ”
Li Yuanwai's words seem to have some truth, but they are actually cruel. doll
But Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan have no other way to go out now, and after several trade-offs, Zhao Yunling had no choice but to agree to Li Yuanwai first.
Li Yuanwai smiled again, but his smile this time was not like the previous few times, this time he smiled very sincerely. In the end, after several bargaining with the villagers, Li Yunwan and the villagers bought Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan from the villagers.
And Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan also followed Li Yuanwai's team.
Li Yuanwai gave them good food and drink, so that they could recuperate from their injuries, but he also watched them very closely, for fear that these two cash cows would run away.
Li Yuanwai's expectations were good, Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling really wanted to run, and this idea was also implemented after their injuries were almost over, but they were not smooth, and they were just about to escape when they were discovered by the merchant and arrested again.
"You are capable. Really, I'm a stupid person, isn't it? Treat you with good food and drink, but you don't keep your promises, and you want to sneak away. At this time, Li Yuanwai has completely lost his previous image of a smiling tiger, but has revealed his true face.
At this time, Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling's hands and feet were tied, including his mouth was also blocked, Zhao Yunling wanted to say something but his mouth was gagged, and he couldn't say anything.
Li Yuanwai is very satisfied with their current state, "Since you are not trustworthy first, then don't blame me for being ruthless." I tell you, I don't just want half of your caravan, I'll want your whole caravan. Someone's coming! Put the two of them in two carriages. Watch it and don't let them run away anymore. ”
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan struggled to no avail, and finally they were separated.
A few days passed like this, but Li Yuan looked at the two of them more and more unpleasantly. Until one day, the evil intentions came to my heart again.
"Tsk, although this Zhao Yunling is old, he still looks like a little woman in her twenties, so it's a pity to switch them on and off like this, so it's a pity not to use them." Li Yuanwai looked at Zhao Yunling, who looked quite pitiful and was tied up, and thought to himself.
At first, it was just an idea, but after he saw an incapacitated Rong Yan who was tied up, this idea intensified in his mind, and finally, he put it into action.
"Come on, tie this Rong Yan away from me, don't let him run away. Then drag Zhao Yunling to the cave over there, and no one is allowed to come. The merchant instructed his attendants, who were quick to do as he was told.
Zhao Yunling was still unconscious, but suddenly felt someone throw her from the carriage to the ground, the cold ground, and the pain of falling suddenly, suddenly made her sober up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, all she saw was a lewd smile on Li Yuanwai's enlarged face.
Zhao Yunling wanted to scream, but her mouth was still gagged, her hands were still tied, and she couldn't do anything.
And Li Yuanwai obviously felt that those ropes were in the way, so he cut those ropes with a knife, and took off the cloth from Zhao Yunling's mouth.
Zhao Yunling's mouth suddenly regained his freedom, and he hurriedly shouted, "Li Yuanwai, what do you want to do?" ”
"What do you think I'm going to do?" Li Yuanwai smiled evilly, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Yunling's clothes. "I warn you, you'd better cooperate with me, I might be able to spare your life, if you yell, your husband is outside, if you don't cooperate, I'll have someone bring him over and let him see what you're doing with me."
Zhao Yunling has been tied up and hasn't eaten much in the past few days, and she doesn't have much strength in her body, so it is obviously unwise to have a hard encounter with Li Yuanwai at this time, so she can only keep retreating.
Li Yuanwai felt that this was a kind of fun, and he slowly followed, and from time to time he moved his hands and feet to Zhao Yun. In the end, Zhao Yunling was forced to the wall of the cave and couldn't move, and Li Yuanwai's patience also came to an end at this time, and he rushed directly towards Zhao Yunling.
Zhao Yunling was pounced by Li Yuanwai, and reflexively pushed Li Yuanwai with the greatest strength, but he didn't expect to directly let Li Yuanwai's head hit the wall of the cave, and Li Yuanwai passed out.
Zhao Yunling also cautiously probed Li Yuanwai's snort, and after finding that he was not dead, he reluctantly put his mind at ease.
I remembered that Li Yuanwai said that Rong Yan was not far outside, so he was about to run over secretly, but he didn't expect that Rong Yan also knocked down the other people and entered the cave at this time.
At this time, some people who were not knocked down by Rong Yan also followed the sound into the cave, and saw that Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan had regained their freedom, and they were shocked when they saw Li Yuanwai lying on the ground.
In a hurry, Rong Yan didn't know where to take a knife and put it on Li Yuanwai's neck.
"Don't move, or I'll kill him, and then I'll kill you." Rong Yan's expression was very fierce, and he immediately shocked those people.
The two of them took Li Yuanwai hostage and ran to the depths of the jungle together, until they reached a cave, and then decided to settle here temporarily.
