Chapter 330: Selling Piglets
A lot of kids?!
Hearing Duanmu Qingfeng's narration, Chen Tian obviously understood that he seemed to be one step closer to the truth.
The one-eyed bearded man who carried the corpses of the boy and girl in front of him was indeed related to the Batong case, and listening to Duanmu Qingfeng, it seemed that this big man was still holding a lot of children in the wooden house in the Qingfeng forest. Are these children ordinary souls right now, or are they resentful ghosts like the train ghosts I've seen in Qingfeng Forest?
Faced with this question, it was difficult for Chen Tian to draw a conclusion by guessing, and since there was Duanmu Qingfeng who knew the answer by his side, Chen Tian didn't have to think about this question so separately, and just opened his mouth to ask.
"What kid? What's going on in the cabin? ”
Hearing Chen Tian's inquiry, Duanmu Qingfeng in Chen Tian's body immediately gave a detailed answer.
"The souls of dozens of children are imprisoned in a jungle hut in the Breeze Forest, and those children are kept in captivity like livestock, and it was after I discovered this situation that I was caught by the one-eyed man, and then he successfully attacked me..."
When the words came to this, Duanmu Qingfeng said that his tone was as usual, but there was obviously a momentary pause.
"Killed..."
Hearing Duanmu Qingfeng's narration, Ouyang Shu, who had ears pricked up on the side, obviously began to speculate on the situation, and at the same time, a word immediately came to his mind.
"Sell piglets!"
If dozens of these children were to be held in one place, there would be only one possibility left unless there was something of their own problem that required special treatment.
Child trafficking...
Considering that this kind of illegal behavior still exists in some remote areas today, it is obviously not a cause for fuss in these dark times.
Selling piglets, this is a joking name for Xiangdao for trafficking in human beings to Europe and the United States. And this is also a unique phenomenon that has existed in Xiangdao since modern times.
Because it became a hub for colonial and maritime transportation, it was clear that there were many people with a bad conscience who were engaged in this disgusting business in Xiangdao at that time. Chen Tian has also watched some modern martial arts movies shot by his friend Fang Wenhao's father since he was a child, and there are often similar episodes, so he also has a certain understanding of this illegal phenomenon in this period.
It's just that Chen Tian obviously never thought that these seven children who died strangely were actually connected to this kind of thing, so could it be that they were also abducted by human traffickers, so it led to the end of disappearing first and then dying?
But apart from the seven dead children, it seems that no other children are missing. Because if more children go missing, it will obviously be exposed in the media and newspapers, and the focus of the incident will never be published in this way.
"Where are so many children in that cabin?"
Obviously, he also thought of this problem, and Wei Qian on the side also joined the ranks of the reasoning hidden task line at this moment. And his question was quickly answered by a character on the other side who had always been ignored by everyone.
"The children who disappeared in the newspaper were all temporary residents who had successfully evacuated with their parents, but in that turbulent era, there were many families who died on the way to escape, and those whose parents died on the railroad were orphans and refugees, which could easily become the coveted targets of human traffickers."
Hearing Hu Baimiao's explanation from the shrunken Hu Baimiao on the side, Chen Tian naturally understood that this party, who had experienced the era of the Great Escape Incense, had a certain basis for judging this situation. And the truth is probably just as Hu Baimiao guessed, maybe these children who were locked up in the wooden house may really be orphans whose parents died and were helpless in the process of escaping incense.
"We're going to have to keep up anyway to figure it all out."
At the moment, some conclusions have been roughly conjectured, but it is clear that some evidence is needed to confirm these conjectures. Therefore, following the distant minecart at the moment is the only choice for Chen Tian and the others.
These assumptions can only be made true if it is clear whether there are really dozens of refugee children hiding in the hut.
And at the same time that Chen Tian made such a judgment, Duanmu Qingfeng, the soul in his body, also nodded in agreement, and then told everyone another important piece of information.
"That's right, and there should be a green light clue in that cabin, at least in the progress I had when I was alive."
Understand that this kind of thing is not completely certain, because various light point items and hints may be randomly disrupted in each progression, so it is also possible that there are no clues in the cabin.
But since such a possibility exists, then this wooden house is also worth exploring. And the only thing that needs to be considered at the moment is obviously how not to be discovered by the one-eyed man, because if he finds out that his group goes to find out his secret, the other party will obviously use the same method as Duanmu Qingfeng to deal with his group.
"It's almost time to keep up."
Seeing that the distance was already hundreds of meters away from the one-eyed man's minecart, Chen Tian was also cautious and waited for a while before making the following judgment. And after receiving Chen Tian's order, everyone was also ready to move forward.
Riding on the minecart and carefully following the dim minecart light the size of a light spot in front, Chen Tian and his party tracked the corpse minecart in front of them as far as possible except Chen Tian.
Walking directly from Shuangke Station towards the Qingfeng Forest at an oblique angle, Chen Tian's next destination was obviously a platform in the upper right corner of the inner circle that did not yet know the name of the station, and this platform also happened to be between St. Jehovah's Station and Xingyun Station.
Not daring to linger too much on this relatively minor platform, Chen Tian and his entourage chose to leave here collectively after taking a general look at the name of the platform and the general situation, and continued to follow the corpse transporter who was heading towards Qingfeng Forest in front.
Xinke Station, looking at the tall name and a high-rise building next to the platform printed with "New Science and Technology Building", although Chen Tian guessed that there might be treasures in this place, he was also faced with the choice of not having both.
And even if Chen Tian wants to eat ugly with both hands, it is obvious that there is no one in the current team to do this kind of thing.
If Ouyang Shu was left here alone, and then let him come, the other party would obviously not be able to find the jungle hut with him. What's more, if this guy gets some treasure, Chen Tian can't believe that he will spit it out and share it.
And if Wei Qian is allowed to stay and explore the new science station, it is obvious that there is a certain risk for Chen Tian's tailgating. You must know that Chen Tian's biggest reliance at the moment is Wei Qian's latest Golden Body State skill, so it is obviously a bit overkill for him to stay at Xinke Station to find something. What's more, this platform may not really have any gains, if it is a waste of Wei Qian's ability to bet on this, then the consequences will obviously make Chen Tian regret it.
As for the remaining fractured Tang Xiaoice, the comatose peacock, and the peeing of pants Hu Baimiao, Chen Tian naturally did not consider it at all.
In desperation, Xinke Station could only stop for a short time like a tour, and everyone continued to embark on a trailing journey, once again hiding the eerie breeze forest and moving forward. (To be continued.) )
