Chapter 123: The Den
"Actually...... Really take back the enchantment? An Yong looked shocked.
Qingfeng also looked incredulous, "Yes, she didn't even use the nebula board to say anything, she just screamed twice, why did the little girl compromise?" β
Everyone looked incredulous.
But An Zesi was thoughtful, he really watched the documentaries of giant pandas, he had seen the demeanor of the top pandas, he had seen the scenes of the people crazy about them, and he had seen countless depressed patients relieved because of them. At first, he also felt incredible and incomprehensible, but looking at it, he gradually felt the charm of giant pandas and was able to understand why so many people were crazy about them.
So at this moment, presumably he is the only one who is not shocked.
The little girl was probably too tired, and when she withdrew the enchantment, she fell down with her strength, Tang Zhening was startled and hurriedly grabbed the person.
Then she was in a quandary.
This person was caught, but how to take it down?
Fortunately, the palace guard came to help at this time, so she didn't have to go up and down.
Tang Zhening couldn't help much in saving people, at most, he became bigger when the stretcher was not enough, and helped transport some injured and sick victims.
Originally, she thought that the cultivator was so powerful, and although the people would have to suffer a little, at least their lives were not in danger. But the reality is not optimistic.
When he saw the guards coming out carrying a stretcher covered with a white cloth, Tang Zhening was stunned, "This is ......"
The guard, who was still full of childishness, explained: "This old lady got up in the morning and found that the first floor was flooded, and she was anxious to go down to collect her belongings, but she fell directly down the stairs, and then the water level came up and she was drowned alive. β
This......
Tang Zhening frowned, "Does she live alone?" β
"No, she has a large family, sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren add up to a family of more than a dozen people, but ......" Fu Wei hesitated: "But the old lady has little sleep, and she woke up in the early morning, and the family slept soundly when she wrestled, plus she was a mute,
No one heard it at all, so ......"
"That's right." Tang Zhening frowned, "You go get busy." β
Then she watched as the other party sent the body out of the stretcher with a water boat.
Tang Zhening found that she was really useless, the guards were saving people, and some servants were distributing food to the victims, and she could only watch from the sidelines.
"Childe, it's not good!" But at this moment, several palace guards rushed over.
Chu Jiwei was originally distributing the star medicine to those who were killed, and when he heard this, he turned his head and looked over.
Several guards were out of breath and said: "We searched a submerged cellar, which was full of children, and now the situation is not very good, two have died, more than half of them are in a coma with a high fever, and the remaining few older children are only sick and strong." β
"There wasn't much space left in the cellar, the entrance and exit were small, and the children below couldn't move, so we couldn't help them."
"Can't move?" Chu Jiwei raised his eyebrows.
The leading guard replied, "The water in the cellar is too deep, but fortunately there is a pile of empty wine jars in it, and those children are also clever enough to know that they can save their lives until now by turning the jars and jars together as a footrest." But because of this, they are not very good at moving now. β
"So what to do?" Tang Zhening couldn't help asking.
Chu Ji said dangerously: "You can only lift the ground, otherwise it will not be good to move." β
When the group arrived at the shop that the house guard said, it was said to be a shop, but it was actually a single-room hut, and it was sandwiched from the front and back, and there was no faΓ§ade at all.
Obviously, this shop is probably used as a warehouse, but this cellar is full of children......
Tang Zhening took a look, this small shop was divided by Chu Jiwei's palace guard with an enchantment, and the water in it was drained, and when they walked in, they saw that there was a hole in the ground in the corner that was not very big, looking at the size, I am afraid that people with a slightly burly figure would not be able to enter and exit.
"Childe, the cellar below is very large, and it is initially estimated that it is half the size of this shop, so the structure is actually not very safe, we don't have an internal map, and we can't get the specific scope of the cellar, for fear that rashly opening the ground will cause secondary damage to the children below." Fu Wei explained.
"I'm coming!" Before the words fell, a horizontal knife appeared in Chu Jiwei's hand.
He raised his hand, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the bright knife light quickly loomed, and in the next moment, a piece of ground shook and floated into the air.
Chu Jiwei waved his hand, and the ground turned into powder and dissipated with the wind.
Tang Zhening looked down, and was immediately shocked by the tragic scene in front of him.
The cellar was not particularly large, about five or six cubic meters, and there were a dozen children sitting on two large inverted water tanks. Because the area at the bottom of the jar was so small, they tied themselves together like rice dumplings.
Rao had a water tank, and they were also soaked in water from the waist down.
Many of the children were already unconscious, and the few older children who were left were pulling on to the knots, for fear that the rope would break and let the friends fall.
Tang Zhening noticed that these children were very thin, and their exposed skin was more or less injured, and their eyes were full of defense.
"These children ......," Tang Zhening guessed in his heart.
Chu Jiwei commanded everyone to save people, and said: "This place should be a den of human traffickers." β
Tang Zhening frowned and asked, "In Qingcang Civilization, are human traffickers legal?" β
As far as she knew, slave contracts were legal in the interstellar world, and even some technological civilizations had not eliminated the existence of slaves, so she naturally had to give birth to this kind of suspicion.
"Of course not." Chu Jiwei was a little surprised: "How can you think that this kind of thing is legal? β
"If human traffickers are illegal, then where do the legitimate servants who sell them come from?" Tang Zhening asked.
Chu Jiwei cried and laughed: "Although the slave contract is extremely strict, unless the slave party betrays the master, it is also a crime for the master to use lynching." What's more, although the slave contract is strict, if you conclude a slave contract with a cultivator, the life expectancy will be slightly increased. For example, if an ordinary person had made a slave contract with a Meng Guang Realm cultivator, he would be able to increase his lifespan by at least thirty years. Therefore, although becoming a slave will lose its freedom and its own interests will be compromised, it is not without benefits. If you meet a good owner, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. β
"You mean to say...... Those who were sold into slavery were voluntary? Tang Zhening was a little skeptical about life.
Chu Jiwei nodded.
"But......" Tang Zhening tilted his head, "If I'm not mistaken, some cultivators have also concluded slave contracts with people, what are they for?" β
