Chapter 1: Human Traffickers and Old Men

Next Chapter

The 100,000 mountains in the south have always been synonymous with wildness and mystery, and even in modern times, many of its strange customs and landscapes can still arouse the curiosity of most people, so it is natural that it has become one of the resources for tourism development.

One by one Miao village in the 100,000 mountains has always been a place that tourists often pay attention to and patronize, most of the people in the cottage near the national highway are half hotels and half inns, relying on the past tourists to gradually get rich, and now even some of the more remote Miao villages are slowly lively.

Chen Gong has been in a very bad mood recently, his graduation thesis has been handed in, he is a graduate student sent by the college, unlike other students, who are busy looking for a job after graduation, so he asked the tutor of the college for a few days off and ran into this magical mountain alone, because this time is not the peak season for tourism, and the route he chose is also unpopular and remote, so he fulfilled his wish along the way, so he can be quiet alone.

If it weren't for a fairly detailed tourist map in his hand, Chen Gong might have lost his way in this mountain and disappeared, and now he is settling in a Miao village in the mountains, where there are obviously not too many traces of development, and there is only one Miao family bamboo building in the whole cottage to do the business of hotels and restaurants, according to the boss in that not fluent Mandarin, he is the only one in the village who has walked out of the mountains, in the words of the outside, he belongs to the kind of people who walk in the forefront of the trend of the village.

The boss's name is Ah Jin, the full name Chen Gong didn't hear clearly, and I don't think there is any need to remember, for Chen Gong, one of the two guests at present, is quite enthusiastic, although he doesn't speak very neatly, but he is still very quick to do things, and he settled Chen Gong after a few efforts, and also prepared a table of good and cheap dinner.

At the dinner table, Chen Gong saw another guest of Ah Jin, an old man with white hair and beard, who didn't pay attention to Chen Gong's polite greetings, and looked very strange and withdrawn, Chen Gong quickly lost interest in talking and concentrated on dealing with the food on the dinner table.

Chen Gong was indeed a little tired, some time ago his mind was full of the scene of his confession to Li Ying and the rejection of his confession to Li Ying and the bits and pieces of getting along with her before, but now he arrived in Miao Village, finished dinner, and fell asleep not long after he got into bed.

"Bang!" A gunshot woke Chen Gong from his sleep, and listening to the noisy voices around him, mixed with panic and panicked shouts, Chen Gong was convinced that he had heard it correctly.

At this time, it was already approaching dawn, and the sky was just dawning, even if he didn't light the oil lamp in the room, Chen Gong could barely see the things around him. Hurriedly put on his clothes and pants, Chen Gong was hesitating whether to go out to have a look, when the door of the room opened suddenly from the outside, Chen Gong was frightened, and he was about to find something to defend himself.

"Xiao Chen, it's me! Come with me, it's ...... outside" The person who came was the boss Ah Jin, holding an oil lamp in his hand, the expression on his face was full of panic, he was not fluent in Mandarin in the first place, and he stammered in a hurry.

Listening to the increasingly clear cries outside, Chen Gong suppressed the panic in his heart, stepped forward and grabbed Ah Jin's hand holding the lamp, leaned over and directly blew out the oil lamp in one go, and asked eagerly: "Ah Jin, what happened?"

Ah Jin's body trembled violently at the moment when Chen Gong blew the dust oil lamp, but after all, there was one more person now, and he understood Chen Gong's intention to blow the lamp, so he slowly calmed down a little, took a deep breath and said: "Chong Xiong died, and he was shot to death by someone outside." There are so many of them that we have to find a way to escape. ”

Chen Gong was not familiar with this bamboo building, so he could only walk behind Ah Jin, and asked in a low voice as he walked, "Who are they and what are they doing here?"

"No, I don't know. Ah Jin obviously didn't know much more than Chen Gong, but his bamboo building was a relatively tall building in the entire Miao Village, and he could see what was happening farther away in the village.

"Bang bang!" There were two more gunshots in a row, and the outside seemed to be more and more chaotic, and there was also a voice outside Ah Jin's bamboo building, not in a dialect that Chen Gong couldn't understand, but in Mandarin.

In the final analysis, Chen Gong is just a college student, even if he is one of the better ones, it is already his limit to be able to show a certain degree of composure just now, and now that the danger is getting closer and closer, he is also chaotic, but Ah Jin is getting more and more calm, hearing the sound of slamming the door outside, knowing that the bamboo door that prevents the gentleman and the villain cannot stop the person at all, he pulled Chen Gong, who was a little distracted, and lowered his voice and said: "Go, go through the window." ”

The people outside the door quickly broke in, and before Chen Gong, who jumped out of the window, could see the surrounding environment clearly, he was kicked hard from behind and fell directly to the ground, and then a fierce voice came from his ears: "I still fucking want to escape, be honest with Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu's gun is not vegetarian." Xiao Qi, I tied him up in the past. ”

As soon as Chen Gong stood up, a hard and cold pistol was placed on his head, and a tall, thin man with a somewhat pale face gestured towards Chen Gong with a gun, and then tied Chen Gong's hands.

To say that seeing a real gun at such a close distance, Chen Gong is the first time, he is trembling in his heart, and he can't afford to resist at all, although everyone inevitably has the dream of being a hero, but there is still a big gap between the dream and reality, if he can die at this time, it will really not be cost-effective.

Hearing the loud shouting and scolding in the bamboo building and Ah Jin's muffled snorting, it seems that Ah Jin has not escaped the fate of being arrested.

When Ah Jin was pushed out of the bamboo building with his hands tied, next to him was the lonely old man, unlike Ah Jin's fright, Chen Gong could not see any expression on his face, as if he was still sitting at the table eating his own dinner.

"This old guy was really calm, and he didn't react at all. The bearded man who had kicked Chen Gong just now seemed to enjoy the panicked and helpless expressions of others, and was quite unhappy with the old man's calmness, so he stepped forward and was ready to kick him like he had done to Chen Gong.

This kick was fast and ruthless, and it went past the old man's waist, and he looked at the old man's weak appearance, and if he kicked it, he was afraid that his waist would be broken.

It was too late, but it was too soon, and just as the bearded foot was about to kick the old man, a figure pounced on him and blocked in front of the old man.

"Bang!" This kick was really ruthless, and the person who pounced on him kicked the old man to the ground together, and the figure who fell to the ground was Chen Gong, whose hands were tied.

Fortunately, I used my back to carry this blow, if it was an abdomen, I was afraid that it would be enough for me. Chen Gong endured the pain, but at the same time, he regretted why he didn't restrain his impulse for a while, and actually stood up for a person he didn't know, it can be imagined that the troublesome things are still to come.

The old man was not hurt in any way, and quickly stood up, the calm expression on his face finally changed, but it was not panic or gratitude, but a kind of helplessness, as if Chen Gong had done something that made him extremely unhappy.

Seeing that his goal had not been achieved, the beard here laughed angrily and said loudly: "Good boy, why didn't you see that you are so kind just now, do you want to be a hero, Lao Tzu will fulfill you." As he spoke, he stepped forward and punched and kicked Chen Gong, who had not yet gotten up.

Chen Gong hugged his head stiffly, and while trying to do this self-protection action, he explained: "Don't, don't fight, that's my grandfather, he has Alzheimer's, don't hit him." ”

At this time, Chen Gong's mind became more and more sober, that beard didn't really want to kill and cripple himself, he just needed a reasonable explanation.

Sure enough, the beard was paused, and he smiled strangely: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be a filial grandson, grandson, grandpa, I will let you do your filial piety today." After speaking, the strength was actually a little stronger.

When Chen Gong was crying bitterly in his heart and was beaten to death, a rather majestic voice sounded: "Enough, third child, it's important to do business, bring them all to the village, just now you fired those shots, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble." ”

The bearded third man immediately stopped, it seemed that the person who spoke still had considerable prestige in his mind, spit out a mouthful of phlegm in front of Chen Gong, and shouted to the tall thin man watching from the side: "Let's go, Xiao Qi, if anyone is not honest, give him a few powerful blows." ”

When they arrived at a vacant lot outside the village, there were already dozens of people standing there, most of them were Miao people in the village, and the remaining dozen or so were bandits with guns. The young and strong of the Miao people were tied with their hands behind their backs, while the old and young and the women with children did not restrict the freedom of their hands, but all of them tied their right feet with ropes to prevent escape.

Chen Gong, Ah Jin, and the withdrawn old man also joined the kidnapped crowd, and no other sound could be heard in the crowd except for the crying of the awakened children and the soothing of the adults' lowered voices.

This oppressive atmosphere did not last long, it seemed that everyone had already arrived, and soon under the urging of the bandits, all the people who had been arrested in the entire Miao village began to march deeper into the mountain.

"Where are we going?" Seeing that the bandit in charge of surveillance next to him was not standing close, Chen Gong lowered his voice and asked Ah Jin in front of him.

Ah Jin looked at the nearest bandit, as if to estimate whether it was safe for him to speak, but he quickly replied: "This is the road to the south, and there will be a sidewalk to the outside after crossing the mountain in front, which can be used by car." ”

Chen Gong frowned, and there was still a faint pain in the place where he was beaten by the third child, which made him unable to concentrate on thinking about what these people wanted to do while barely walking.

Before Chen Gong could figure out the purpose of the gang, the bearded man known as the third child came to Chen Gong's side again, untied the rope on his feet, and pulled him aside.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a lean mountaineering jacket came over and asked Chen Gong, "Are you not from the village?"

Chen Gong nodded, listening to the voice, it was the person who stopped the beard from beating him before, it seemed that he was the leader of these bandits, and the biggest feature of this man was that he had an extremely deep scar on his face.

"Tell me where the people are and what they do. Scarface raised his head and said, "If you don't want to suffer, don't play tricks and answer honestly." ”

Chen Gong felt that his identity had nothing to hide, so he replied: "My name is Chen Gong, I am a college student in Rongcheng, I am here to travel, oh, mainly to accompany my grandfather to come here to see, he has Alzheimer's, and he used to have a wish, I want to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland......"

Scarface waved his hand to signal Chen Gong to stop, and said to Luo Hu: "That's pretty much it, third child, you deal with it." ”

"Big brother, this is money, the other party doesn't want to die. The beard said with some hesitation.

"I don't like the potential danger, it's a hidden danger. If you hadn't fired those three shots in the stockade, maybe it would have been easier, but now we will definitely have tails, and it is dangerous to leave such a person who knows the outside world in the ranks. With that, Scarface stopped talking and turned straight to leave.

Obviously, Scarface didn't like to explain too much, and the impatient look on his face made the last trace of hesitation on his beard dispelled, and he directly smiled and took out his pistol and shot at Chen Gong.
