Outside the waste purchase station, there was a pile of waste. It was sorted into categories and appeared to be in an orderly manner.
Inside, there was a shack that had been built. There were four rooms, and there was a stove outside with a gas stove. It was a place to cook. At this moment, a woman in her forties or fifties was standing there cooking.
It could be seen that her cooking skills were not bad, and she was very skilled in stir-frying. It could also be seen that she was in a good mood, and she could even hum a local folk song.
The hunchbacked old man squatted on the threshold,
He held a cigarette in his mouth and smoked it until it was almost burned out to the filter before he was willing to put it down.
Under his feet,
There were already cigarette butts all over the ground.
"It's annoying to sing."
The hunchbacked old man grumbled.
"It's not like I'm singing for you. Why are you so upset?"
The woman twisted her waist,
She did not look very good, and she was also old, but there was naturally a sense of excitement in her.
"Business is not good, and you can still sing?"
The hunchbacked old man asked curiously,
"I've collected so much this time. If I can't sell it, I'll lose money."
"If you lose money, then so be it. Haven't you earned enough all these years?"
The woman glanced at the hunchbacked old man disdainfully, "Your eldest son, second son, and third son have all married wives, and the new house in the village has also been built.
You've earned enough,
If you really can't sell it, you can just take one back and warm your bed, right? "
"Hmph, if I want those women, I might as well just take you directly."
The hunchbacked old man scolded with a smile.
"You old thing who has eaten lard and been blinded by it,
I was abducted once when I was seventeen years old,
You want to abduct me a second time? "
"I say, you old woman, you cried when you were abducted. Now that you're in this business yourself, you're really ruthless."
The hunchbacked old man obviously knew the woman's background and reputation. In the place where she had been active for a long time, she was also famous. She was known as the "Matchmaker".
If you can't get a wife, look for her. She can help you get one.
"What? Can't I? A person lives with a mouth. Don't I need to eat?"
The woman picked up the dishes.
"It's done. When Third Brother comes back, we'll eat. I'll send some food to the people inside first."
"Hey, there's something I don't understand."
The hunchbacked old man held the woman's hand and asked, "It's very easy to trick some young and naive girls. Why did Third Brother insist on catching little girls in the city this time?
There are so many cameras in the city, isn't it too risky? Moreover, they specifically want this kind of good-looking girl from a good family. Isn't this just courting death? "
"Third Brother definitely has his own considerations. Why are you in such a hurry? You, on the other hand, took the initiative to find a backdoor to sell the girl into the club yesterday. Fortunately, they didn't accept it.
Didn't you see how red Third Brother's eyes were when he came back and found that the little girl wasn't there? "
"So what if it's red?"
The hunchbacked old man said angrily, "This girl's hands are too dirty. If she had done it earlier, we wouldn't have been implicated. We've been walking by the river for so long. If we get our shoes wet, we'll suffer a great loss!"
"Third Brother, yesterday …" The woman lowered her voice and whispered to the hunchbacked old man, "He was so anxious that he really wanted to kill someone."
The hunchbacked old man was shocked and asked doubtfully,
"It can't be. I don't plan to sell the money and take it all for myself. This …"
"This girl is very important to Third Brother. Don't think about other things. This is the last job. After this, you and I are ready to retire.
"I'm warning you,
"Don't be careful for your entire life. Don't be caught by the police, but die at the hands of your own people." Don't look at how Third Brother is usually smiling and easy to talk to. I heard that in his early years, Third Brother's hands were stained with many lives. "
The hunchbacked old man nodded, indicating that he understood. He silently took out his cigarette and lit it a few times with the lighter, but because his hand was shaking, he could not light it.
The woman glanced at the hunchbacked old man, who was obviously panicking and afraid,
She rolled her eyes,
She walked into the house with the food.
In the house,
There were three people, two old and one young.
The two old ones were only around twenty years old,
Their hands and feet were tied, and their mouths were tightly gagged. When they saw people come in, their eyes were filled with panic and pleading.
The woman snorted,
She placed the food in front of them.
She said,
"I'll let you eat later. Don't shout randomly. This is the suburbs. No one will hear you even if you shout until your throat is sore!
I'm also an experienced person,
Women..,
Does it matter who I'm living with?
In any case, what's done is done. You still have to cooperate if you need to. You still have to cooperate if you don't want to. When you hand it over to them, you can listen to them and suffer less.
When the time comes, you can give birth to two children for them,
The days passed just like that,
Even if you want to go home and take a look, it's fine, right?
But don't shout randomly,
Be careful that I'll tear your tongues!
I, your mother, am very clear about the cunning thoughts in your hearts! "
As she spoke,
The woman removed the cloth from the two women's mouths.
The two women were not in a hurry to eat. Instead, they cried and begged the woman to let them go.
"You have no eyesight. It's already at this point, why are you still crying? You don't want to eat, do you? If you don't want to eat, then don't eat!"
The woman pulled their hair hard, lifted their heads, and stuffed the cloth back in, gagging the two women.
Anyway, they wouldn't starve to death for two days. These two women didn't have to worry about sales. Old Third Brother had already gone out to talk. He would probably send them there in the afternoon.
As long as they were thrown into that kind of mountain village,
It would be another world,
Even if the police found out, it would be difficult to rescue them.
The woman knew about those two villages. Half of the women in the village were abducted. All the young and old men in the village shared a common hatred for this matter. They stared at these women together, and it was impossible for them to let the He family's women escape.
If they couldn't get the money out, they, the human traffickers, would be safe.
The woman walked to another corner,
A very delicate girl sat there with her hands tied.
The girl's eyes were filled with confusion and fear.
"Here, eat it."
The woman handed over a steamed bun.
The Wang Rui took the steamed bun,
She even nodded subconsciously and said "Thank you." Then, she brought the steamed bun to her mouth and took a bite. Before she could chew, tears began to welled up in her eyes.
The woman looked at the little girl's pitiful appearance,
For some reason, she, a person with a heart of stone, actually loosened a little. However, she had long been good at strangling this loosening.
When she was young, she was kidnapped and sold into the mountains. After she finally escaped, her family actually didn't want her anymore. They locked her out of the door and thought that she was a disgrace!
What others did to her..,
Why couldn't she do it to others?
"Just eat obediently and don't make a fuss."
The woman put down two more steamed buns, got up, and walked out.
In the room..,
There were only these two adults and one child left.
The two older ones kept sobbing.
The Wang Rui sat there silently,
She held a steamed bun in her hand,
She was very afraid, really very afraid,
She didn't know why she was here. It was as if she had had a very, very long dream,
When she woke up from the dream,
But he was tied up here.
At this moment,
If one looked closely..,
One could find the depths of the Wang Rui's eyes..,
There was a black object that kept flickering,
It was as if something was trying to rush out of it,
But it failed again and again,
This also caused the Wang Rui's pupils to become very black for a while, and then return to normal.
Correspondingly..,
It was the Bodhisattva sculpture placed in the pile of junk and clothes on the table in the middle of the room, the one with black dog blood on the chassis.
The sculpture was actually trembling slightly,
It was swaying,
It was just that this process was very weak,
It was so weak that it would not be noticed if one did not observe it carefully.
Finally..,
The sculpture was about to shake to the edge of the table,
It was about to fall down.
The colors in the Wang Rui's eyes began to surge even more,
But the Wang Rui herself did not feel anything. After taking a bite of the steamed bun, she took another bite,
She remembered what her father had said to her. When she encountered danger and bad people, she had to learn to protect herself. It was useless to cry and make a fuss.
At this time..,
She could only rely on fantasizing about her father..,
So that she would not completely panic to the point of losing her sense of propriety.
It was not that the Wang Rui had a better psychological quality than the other two older girls, but because the Wang Rui was young, she knew less, and thought less. She was also superstitious that her father would soon appear and find her.
In the corner,
The Wang Rui's shadow began to shake,
It was as if there was a person imprisoned inside,
She was trying her best to rush out.
Finally,
The Bodhisattva sculpture was about to fall,
Just a little bit more,
Just a little bit more!
At this moment,
The door was pushed open again,
The old driver, who was smiling at everyone and had just been drinking and bragging with the old priest yesterday, walked in.
The old man was still wearing his sunglasses.
After coming in, he first looked at the two older women and did not say anything.
Then..,
He walked to the corner of the wall and looked at the Wang Rui, who was choking and chewing on a steamed bun.
"Yes, you should eat."
The old man bent down,
He reached out and touched the Wang Rui's head,
He could feel the trembling coming from the Wang Rui's body when he placed his hand on the Wang Rui's head.
"Don't be afraid. Grandpa likes obedient girls the most. I'll take you to see your parents tonight. Eat obediently and don't make a fuss, okay?"
The Wang Rui nodded silently,
She knew..,
She needed to eat, or she would be hungry.
Hungry..,
She didn't have the strength..,
When her father found her, she wouldn't be able to walk anymore.
The old man let out a soft "Eh",
He squatted down,
He grabbed the Wang Rui's face and looked into her eyes,
Just now..,
He seemed to see a flash of light in the Wang Rui's eyes.
But after taking a closer look..,
He found that there was nothing.
His eyes must be playing tricks on him,
Sigh..,
He was getting old..,
It seemed that he really had to retire.
He stood up,
The old driver planned to go out for dinner. The seller of the two older women had been found and would be delivered in the afternoon. The seller of this girl had also been contacted and would personally deliver it tonight.
The seller had given him a deposit in advance, indicating that he wanted this kind of foreign and clean little girl from the city. The price was high. With the deposit and the remaining payment, he could really retire.
As he walked out, he passed by the table and saw that the Bodhisattva sculpture was placed on the edge of the table, as if it would fall at any time.
The old man picked up the sculpture and placed it back in the middle of the table,
Then, he clapped his hands,
Pushed open the door,
And walked out.
When the old man went out,
A silent roar that ordinary people's ears could not hear began to echo in the room,
Very angry,
Very crazy,
Just a little bit,
