Chapter Seventy-Four: Bixiao Xuan and Bixiao Warrior
After that, Li Yanzhi chatted a lot with Duanmuchen, the young man responded decently, his thinking was quick, and the two chatted very well.
But gradually, Li Yanzhi discovered a strange thing, that is, it seemed that Duanmuchen didn't remember anything about what happened in the blue-faced man's mansion, which surprised him, as if someone had erased his memory.
Of course, this matter is surprising, since Duanmuchen doesn't remember it at all, Li Yanzhi naturally won't mention it again.
However, seeing that although the other party talked and laughed freely, but his expression was always a little depressed, as if he was annoyed about something, Li Yanzhi remembered that when he first met Duanmuchen, he had just come back from the yamen, and his expression was also very gloomy, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother Chen, what's the trouble? Why do you keep frowning?"
It's okay not to ask, but the smile on Duanmuchen's face suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily, looking like he wanted to say something.
After a while, as if he had made some kind of decision, he said to Li Yanzhi: "Brother Li, please come with me." ”
What he was going to say next didn't want his grandmother to know, so that she wouldn't have to worry.
"Haha!"
At this time, there was a happy laughter from Aunt Hua, as if the more she chatted with Wen, the more speculative she became.
Li Yanzhi always felt that not only Uncle Jin was in a good mood today, but also Aunt Hua was smiling and happy.
So Li Yanzhi and Duanmuchen left the table, and they didn't notice it at all.
"Brother Li, I really can't let go of a single thing in my heart. The two walked to a secluded place at the door of the inn, Duanmuchen hesitated, and finally spoke.
Then he said what had been annoying and suffocating him and making it difficult for him to sleep.
And after Li Yanzhi listened to it, he also felt that the five internal shocks were shocking, his heart was burning, and a mouthful of anger filled his chest, and he couldn't feel comfortable!
It turned out that after Duanmuchen was separated from his grandmother Wen that day, he was abducted by a group of people dressed in green clothes and wearing ghost masks, and took him to a huge mansion called "Bixiao Xuan".
Although the name of "Bixiao Xuan" sounds light and elegant, it is a dirty and vicious place that hides dirt and dirt and annihilates human nature.
In this huge compound, which covers an area of dozens of acres, at least a few hundred children are taken in every day, ranging from a few years old to a teenager. was tempted by those who wore green clothes and ghost masks with special techniques, and were divided into three, six, nine and so on.
The first class is a person with good talent, smooth meridians, and can cultivate immortals. Such a child will be treated as a guest by them, and treated respectfully and gracefully as a young master or a young lady, because such a child will definitely become an immortal cultivator, and they will naturally want to curry favor.
But there are too few children with such qualifications, and it is often difficult to find one for months or even a year.
The second class is the children whose meridians are slightly unblocked, and although they can barely cultivate immortals, they have no great achievements, as well as children who are strong and have good physique among mortals, they will be directly sent to the land of cultivating immortals and serve as medicine slaves. They account for about one or two percent of children.
The so-called "medicine slave" is the person who tests the medicine for the immortal cultivator, and the alchemy of the immortal cultivator is not very sure of its medicinal properties, toxicity, and function, so someone needs to test the medicine for them to determine whether the refined pill can be used by the immortal cultivator, and according to the poisoning symptoms of the medicine slave, to determine the proportion of various medicinal materials in the pill, so as to improve the pill.
Often, if an elixir is successfully refined, it takes thousands or even tens of thousands of medicine slaves to bury their lives before it can be achieved. The fate of the "medicine slave" is generally extremely miserable and pitiful, either directly poisoned to death, or although barely rescued, but due to various sequelae caused by toxic residues, he died directly in the process of the next drug test.
The medicine slave lived for a very short time, either a few days, or more than ten days, and at most no more than a month, and the end was extremely tragic.
The third class is to pick out the rest from the first two, and then select some of them with excellent appearance and appearance, and either send them to the brothel of the Qinglou, or send them to the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles for people's amusement. If you dare to resist a little, even if you are beaten violently, there are not a few people who are directly beaten to death.
The fourth class is the strong and no other skills, and they are sent to various imperial tombs, coal kilns, mines, etc. to serve as coolies, and they are often exhausted to death in a year or two.
In the fifth class, children who have no good qualities, who are of ordinary appearance, of ordinary intelligence, or even inferior to everything, will be directly or with their hands and feet cut off, or poisonous, deaf, mute, or blind and disfigured, and then sent to the streets and alleys by special personnel to win sympathy and beg on the streets, and earn a lot of money for them.
The people who manage all the children in Bixiao Xuan are called "Bixiao Warriors", and they are the people who are dressed in green clothes and wearing ghost masks who have taken Duanmuchen away. The Bixiao warriors are divided into four classes, the highest level is called the presidential decree, and there is only one, the supreme ruler in the Bixiao Xuan, the second level is the grand commander, about hundreds, the third level is the small commander, and the lowest level is called the samurai.
They are responsible for the buying and selling of all boys and girls, and the sky-high silver money they get is also managed in a unified manner, and it is kept by the presidential decree of Bixiao Xuan.
Duanmuchen had been in Bixiao Xuan for less than ten days, and his understanding was naturally not so comprehensive, all of which he knew from a girl named Ling'er who was locked up in a nearby room with him.
In this dark, dirty and ugly Bixiao Xuan, every day there will be children who are killed and maimed, wailing and screaming endlessly, and people are being sent in and dying all the time.
Duanmuchen and the girl named Ling'er are like people hugging each other for warmth in a cold winter night, the only light for each other in this dark and dirty place, and the only motivation to live.
But he never expected that in just five or six days, the girl Ling'er would be sent away. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was sent to the Qinglou prostitution hall to pick up customers.
Although Ling'er is weak and weak, her personality is extremely strong, knowing that she is going to be sent to be a prostitute, she would rather die than obey, and directly hit her head on the wall, and blood splattered on the spot.
Duanmuchen was in the cell next to him, watching this flower-like girl die like this, and her thin body was coldly and ruthlessly put into a sack, like carrying a dead dog, and was carried away at will.
Duanmuchen's heart was about to break, and his tears dried up.
Next, Duanmuchen was also taken away by the Bixiao warrior and taken to the blue-faced man's mansion. As for what happened there, he didn't remember anything about it, but he only knew that when he came to consciousness again, it was on Chenghuang Street, when he rolled out of the car and was rescued by Li Yanzhi.
He has been working hard to recuperate from his injuries these days, just to get better so that he can report to the official, so that the people of the Yamen can eradicate this evil Bi Xiaoxuan, so that those thousands of children who are as pitiful as Ling'er and him can see the light of day again.
Today, as soon as Duanmuchen was able to get out of bed, he hurriedly ran to the government mansion and told everything about Bi Xiaoxuan, wanting the Yamen to send troops to exterminate him, but in the end he was refused.
One is because Duanmuchen is vague - where Bixiao Xuan is, and how he was kidnapped by the so-called Bixiao Warriors, it is not clear.
The second is that they feel that there is no place for such an annihilation of humanity in broad daylight, and the government has never received a case of missing children.
If it is really as Duanmuchen said, hundreds of children are abducted every day, wouldn't it be a few months, and the children of the entire Taixu City will be taken away by them, which is too ridiculous. Moreover, with so many children missing, it is impossible for the government to never receive reports of children going missing.
Therefore, based on the above, the county lord felt that Duanmuchen might have unhealed old injuries and was a little delirious, so he ignored his report at all.
This is the reason why Duanmuchen returned from the government very gloomy.
"Brother Li, they think I'm imaginary and insane, but I'm sure that such a hell on earth really exists!"
With slightly empty eyes, looking at the empty wall in front of him, his expression was indescribably sad and painful-
For the souls who died for no reason, and for the thousands of children who are suffering.
