Chapter 6 Harvesting (2)
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
There are oil lamps every few meters along the cave. The air inside the cave is a little dirty, but it doesn't interfere with breathing. Zhao Nan meandered above the cave wall for a while, and could feel a trace of coolness, there must be an exit from this cave, so there was air flow in the cave, and people would not suffocate if they lit so many oil lamps and torches.
It was late at night, and most of the cave was asleep, and no one noticed that a mass of gray rock was quietly moving above the cave.
Zhao Nan first looked into the first small hole, and saw through the iron fence that there were several children about ten years old, dressed in rags, and the space in the cave was small, they could only lie crookedly, and the most terrible thing was that what Zhao Nan suspected had really happened. He could clearly see that the children were lying in the wrong state. A child's legs were actually back to the shoulders, and another child was missing an arm, the sleeves were tied around the waist, and the feet were turned upside down, and the soles of the feet were up, so he was half-lying against the wall, with the instep down and the soles up, and Zhao Nanxin said how can this child walk! Then it occurred to him that the children who had been picked up with broken hands and feet might not have to walk, and that the people who had given birth would let the children with slightly able-bodied limbs pull them along in a cart, singing bitter songs as they went, telling them about their miserable situation. Thinking of this, he hurriedly dodged to look at the other caves, his heart was stirring, his gray noodle-like body was a little undulating because of his anger, and a little fluctuating shadow could be faintly seen on the ground, like a wave, swishing to the mouth of another cave. It is still a small space, there are more than a dozen children lying horizontally and vertically, the same face is yellow and thin, and some children can vaguely see that although the clothes are shabby, the texture is still very good, with fine skin and tender meat, like being born in a well-off and wealthy family, Zhao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, these children are complete and have not been taken. The gray waves continued to move forward, and he smelled a strong smell of blood, and swam along with the smell, and sure enough, a cave was splattered with blood, and a child without an arm and missing a leg was moaning in a pool of blood, muttering to himself, "Water, give me water." I'm going to drink water. β
Iniquity. Zhao Nan knew that this must be caused by the inflammation of the wound and high fever, it seems that tonight they cut off the arms of two children, one of the wounds was bleeding non-stop, and finally died of excessive blood loss, and this one was left, struggling in a high fever.
The oil lamp in the aisle burst a few lights, and the child in the high fever suddenly felt a faint coolness on his lips, it was water. He swallowed a few times excitedly and greedily, opened his eyes in a daze, and found that there was a long gray strip in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly that the face was like a slender noodle, and a tentacle-like thing protruded from this noodle, and the end was like a spoon, and it was this thing that fed himself water.
The child is frightened, am I dead? When you arrived at the Yama Temple, you saw the little ghost? Do ghosts look like this? Gray and misty, I can't see my face clearly.
The coolness on his lips was so comfortable, he said that if he died, he would die, and it would be good to be able to drink a few sips of water.
I saw the gray strip suddenly hanging down softly, and whispered into his ear: "Hold on, I'll come to save you soon." β
The boy was stunned for a moment, I was really dreaming, how could the little ghost of the Yama Hall speak to me so gently, but this long gray strip doesn't look like a kind-hearted fairy.
The child takes a few more sips of water and falls into a groggy sleep.
Zhao Nan sighed and slowly climbed out from above the iron railing. The water was brought by him from the dripping water on the cave wall. Now all he wanted was that the kid would take a few sips and make it to the end, and he would have to get them out intact.
Zhao Nan checked a few more caves, some of the side rooms did not have iron fences, and there were a few men sleeping in them, it seemed that they were the guards here, sleeping heavily, like dead pigs, Zhao Nan quietly circled around them, and the sleepiness of those people was even heavier, and they had many dreams, and they would not be willing to get up when the sky thundered.
The last cave, just approached and heard the sound of someone wading into the water, it turned out that this was a deep water prison, Chu Qi stood in the water, the water surface was already above his chest, he walked a few steps uneasily, the sound of the water was rattling. Chu Qi whispered: "Uncle Zhaonan, come and save me, where are you, Miss Ye?" β
With his muttering, through the dim oil lamp outside, he suddenly saw a long gray strip winding down from the top of the cave, and the long strip was like a snake, and it swooped twice into the water prison, and Chu Qi was frightened, what was this.
He was about to shout when he heard the familiar voice of the long strip: "Don't be afraid, it's me." β
Uncle Zhaonan! The seventh day of the first year was pleasantly surprised and wanted to jump out.
"How are you here?"
Long Tiao dived to the bottom of the water, and Chu Qi felt that his body suddenly rose higher, and he was gradually lifted out of the water.
"These people are bad people, they take children, they cut off their arms, they break their legs, they turn them into strange shapes, and they go and ask for food."
After the seventh month of the first month finished grunting, the gray stripe nodded: "You have been locked up for two days, how did you get caught?" Is there something wrong with the inn? β
This is the difference between Zhao Nan and Ye Quan's work.
The men who were guarding were sleeping soundly, and they changed the leaf limit, and they were happy to take revenge, and directly took your life while you were sleeping, and the result was your life in two clicks, but Zhao Nan wanted to understand everything clearly, and then consider how to punish these people in turn according to the size of their crimes.
"I saw a little friend in the street, and I chased after him, calling his name, but he didn't look at me, and then he disappeared when he entered the inn. I went to the inn to find someone, and the guy at the house asked me who I was looking for, and I said, and he said that he would take me to the backyard to look for it, but when I got to the backyard, I was hit on the head, and when I woke up, I was already on a boat, and I was transported here. β
Chu Qi roughly talked about it, Zhao Nan already knew that at least the guys in the inn were with the wicked people on this island, the target of the ship was so big, and it stayed on the dock all the year round, how could the shopkeeper of Lao Qin not know? That inn is the biggest problem.
"How many of them are there? Are they all in this hole? β
Zhao Nan is worried that once he takes action, he is afraid that he will not be able to protect so many children, and there are many of them who have broken hands and feet and are unable to move.
"They sleep in that hole, and they have a big beard, and everyone calls him Boss, and he doesn't seem to be here."
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave, and the two men who had buried the bodies returned.
"Strange, how can there be people's clothes here?" One person said.
"yes, it's still black. Wear this dress on this big night, who can see. The other paused and exclaimed, "Oh my God, this is the night clothes that the rivers and lakes say, right?" Someone, someone! β
He shouted and screamed, and ran a few steps to the cave where he was guarding, and shook the people: "Get up, get up, someone is coming, get up." β
This man reacted quickly, just like the dead pigs sleeping with his accomplices, and he didn't blink no matter how he shook it.
The two of them were in a panic, and suddenly heard a voice behind them: "Stand obediently and throw your clothes over to me." β
