Chapter 267: Dumb Girl Zhuo'er

Unfamiliar with the topography of the wooded area and not knowing where to find water, there are not many people rescued by An'esha, but how long the eight water bladders can last is a question.

Animal fat was taken from the dead horses, which was an excellent material for making torches, and there was no shortage of dry blades of grass in the forest, and some were collected to make a few torches.

As for food, there was still a lot of food in the pannier, which he was not worried about, and it was a big deal to go hunting. Sitting beside Nepps, he wrapped his fat in blades of grass and tied it to a stick, and made a torch silently without speaking.

After taking the potion, the merchant felt better, peeked at Bell, felt very embarrassed, and chose to apologize to him, "I'm sorry...... I sincerely apologize for my previous actions. ”

Skimming him, Bell shook his head helplessly, "I know the current environment is very chaotic, and I can't say anything if you do that." It's just that not being trusted is a frustrating thing, isn't it? ”

"I can pay you more, really. Nepps said sincerely.

After making a torch, he picked up the branch next to him, and the dagger split a cross-shaped gap on it, and tied the blade of grass around the end of the branch to form a cup.

Stuck the fat with the blades of grass, and then capped it with the method of tying twigs with the blades of grass, Bell skillfully made the torches, and did not pay Nipps, but looked deeply at Zhuo'er who fainted, "Was she born like this?"

Speaking of his own children, the businessman sighed deeply "It's not ......"

"Oh?" said Bell, frowning thoughtfully.

Zhuo'er is a mute girl, different from ordinary mute girls. Many mute girls have hearing problems after birth. So there is no way to communicate with people normally. But they can still make simple sounds.

Only those who are born with a bad throat. will be like Zhuo'er who can't make a sound. Moreover, she could hear what was being said, which further confirmed that there was something wrong with her throat.

It is very rare for people to lose their speech by nature, and most of them are sick or injured so that their throat cannot make sounds.

Compared to people who can't hear and can't learn to speak, people like Zhuo'er live more painfully. They can't express their emotions with their voices, and most sadly, with full hearing abilities. Let her hear the criticism and ridicule behind her.

In the past, there were also deaf and mute people in the village, and their daily life was very difficult, and their families did not dare to let them go out alone, because they could not hear the sound of wild beasts and could not cry out for help.

In particular, they were easily favored by the slave traders, because they could not speak or hear, and what better person to keep a secret than such a person?

Deaf people were often sold at high prices in the slave market, especially those who could hear but could not speak, and even better if they could not write.

Bell had heard of someone arresting a child who was not in a young grade. They were demolited by drugs and then sold to slave traders as deaf and dumb. Even the Slave Chamber of Commerce did it themselves.

Those who want to be completely deaf and dumb even have their ear drums pierced, and as long as the mute ones retain their hearing, this kind of inhumane trade has become an unprecedented trend.

At that time, many families had lost their children, and the empire had no way to deal with these slave traders, and it was clear that the slave market was open for sale, but they just didn't care and didn't ask.

In addition to corruption, it is also difficult to find evidence of their crimes. Although everyone knows everything, there is no way to deal with this phenomenon.

It wasn't until the demented robbers took the children of the rich that no one really stood up to stop this from happening.

With the joint efforts of the best pharmacists in several countries, the means used to identify whether an effort is born deaf and dumb is fully mature. Until then, one could only tell by whether the ear was injured or not.

With a precise method of determination, most of the slave traders soon abandoned the business, while a small number of them continued to do so.

However, if such a matter is discovered by any country, those involved in the crime will be hanged. It took two or three years since the enactment of the bill to eradicate this phenomenon.

Later, all human causes that cause children to become deaf and dumb will be dealt the most severe blows. And those children who are born deaf and dumb, or who become deaf and dumb because of illness the day after tomorrow, cannot leave their parents until they have grown up.

In the event of the death or disappearance of their parents, these children will be cared for by the shrine until they grow up, and some of the gifted will become god-holders, while those who are not gifted will serve the shrine.

It didn't mean anything else to ask about Zhuo'er, Bell just felt sorry for the little girl. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected answer from Nepps.

That's right, Zhuo'er's voice was lost suddenly, she was not sick or injured, and she disappeared for no reason. I took my child to the doctor, but the doctor couldn't give an answer.

After the identification of the medicine, Zhuo'er was not poisoned. Later, the husband and wife took her to the shrine again, and the people in the shrine didn't say anything.

It was so frustrating that the Nepps couldn't figure out what was going on with their daughter, and the child couldn't express his feelings. He tried to teach Zhuo'er to read, but the time was too short, and Zhuo'er could not express many complete sentences now.

"Is that so?" said Bell, thinking back to the unconscious Lomiro, who seemed to be in a very special situation. Once again, he felt that the world was full of unknowns, which made him feel indescribable.

"Hey...... ...... that time" Nepps let out a long sigh, the tingling in his chest that forced him to pause, trying to continue, but swallowed again.

Bell was just about to ask, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance. Huo Di stood up and looked at the place where the sound came from, the strong bow on his back already clutched in his hand.

It was none other than Ann Esha, who had been rescued by her, and walked in the direction of Bell along the road she had come.

The number of the victims was not very large, and there were about seven or eight of them, all but one of whom were women, and they did not seem to be very old in terms of their clothing.

When I stayed at the hotel, I saw a lot of women, and they were refugees who had moved with their families. Unexpectedly, he escaped the war on the border and the catastrophe of Hitra City, but he did not escape the clutches of the bandits after all.

Their families should have been martyred in the bandits...... I don't know if they have any relatives and friends to turn to, otherwise it will become a very tricky thing. (To be continued.) )
