It's hard to tell true from false

The owner of the dilapidated hotel closed the warehouse door.

A group of people immediately came in from another side door, some of them carrying medical kits.

Several Betas came forward and carefully untied the black cloth. Some pieces were still wet, which were tears.

"Don't be afraid," Boss Lou said in a gentle and calm tone.

Among these nine people, the oldest is less than 40 years old, and the youngest is only 14. They are all weak, and some are suffering from some diseases.

"...Medicinal baths are more suitable, they are too weak to be nourished." After examining them, several doctors gave the same opinion.

In the afternoon, after taking a medicinal bath and regaining some strength, the Omegas all said, "I miss home."

"Your family members will be worried about you in this state. Just take care of you first," Boss Lou's tone was still so gentle and calm, but it also revealed an aura that could not be refused.

These Omegas were scared by the beatings from the villagers, so if you spoke to them in a slightly firmer tone, they would immediately quiet down.

Mr. Lou kept his promise, and a week later, their families took them away one after another.

The youngest Omega was the last to leave. His grandmother had difficulty walking and came late. When she saw him, she almost cried her eyes out, "Qingtian, grandma is useless. Your parents joined the resistance and died at a young age, leaving you by my side. I didn't take good care of you. I'm useless..."

"Grandma, it's not your fault. If I hadn't been disobedient and insisted on running so far away to find a job, things wouldn't have turned out like this," the Omega named Qingtian also cried. It had been a long time since anyone called his name, and he felt as if he was in another world. He was held in the arms of his only relative, and his cries were weak, with few tears.

It’s not that he wasn’t moved, but that his body was too weak.

Boss Lou handed Qing Tian a bottle of medicine and said with a hint of lingering meaning, "There are two pills in it. One is for bathing, and the other is for internal use. You are still so young and have a long way to go in the future."

Qing Tian nodded and was about to take it with trembling hands, but his grandmother took it for him and said, "Grandma is stronger than you, I'll take it for you."

Qing Tian smiled, "How could I be weaker than grandma?"

Grandma touched his wrist, which was as thin as a bamboo stick, sighed, and said nothing more.

After resting for a while, the grandfather and grandson said goodbye to the owner of the building and walked away supporting each other.

The hotel suddenly became quiet again.

but.

Ever since Mr. Lou helped people find their long-lost children, within half a month after the news was released, family members from all over the country came to visit.

The hotel was suddenly packed.

The waiter hesitated and went to the boss to get the key to room 302. The boss was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "No."

"The boss is really crazy. He won't make money even if there is money to be made," the servant cursed.

Another half a year passed.

After recovering from his illness, Qingtian was tricked into going to Pin Village again. This time, he was trying to save his brother who had helped him.

At that time, Lin Shu had become the new village chief and was thinking about building roads and leading his fellow villagers to become rich.

When Qingtian came, A Luo didn't recognize him at first. Almost all the wives bought in the village in the past were resold to Mr. Lou, except for a few Omegas who accepted their fate and chose to stay in the village. Only the Omega named "Gu" had a bad temper. She would take farm tools and shout for killing whenever she got the chance, which made everyone very angry and refused to let her go, so she has not been sold yet.

Qing Tian was wearing overly mature and heavy makeup, which made her look particularly vulgar at first glance. Lin Shu frowned and looked at her for a while. The thick makeup covered Qing Tian's face. Lin Shu couldn't tell what Qing Tian was trying to do. She called Qing Tian aside and asked, "Why are you here again? Do you like it here?"

"I want to find that brother. I asked the boss of the building, but he said he didn't come out," Qingtian lowered her head and stared at her toes, which were deliberately painted bright red.

Lin Shu smiled, "Oh, so it's him? The one who helped you back then, wasn't her name Zhi Jie?"

"Yes!" Qingtian's eyes lit up.

"Sister will show you the show," Lin Shu said, bringing Qing Tian to Shuanzi. "Shuanzi, this Omega is pretty, and she's perfect for you to have as a concubine."

"Okay," Shuanzi said without raising his head. His health was getting worse day by day, but it was not easy to publicize the "no" thing, so he could only grit his teeth and accept his fate.

Lin Shu patted Qingtian's shoulder and silently comforted her with his eyes: It's okay.

Qing Tian relaxed instantly. He was smart and knew that Lin Shu was not a hyena who went along with the evil.

"Brother Shuanzi, let me massage your shoulders," Qingtian leaned towards Shuanzi with a weird face.

"...Okay," Shuanzi looked at her with disdain and agreed reluctantly.

The next day, Qingtian saw A Luo, who was arguing and quarreling with a dozen Omegas.

Those Omegas were exactly the dozen or so that Lin Shu had tricked back half a year ago.

So much time had passed, and the village had visibly improved, and almost all of these Omegas were pregnant, so they just accepted their fate.

The old village chief took out the family tree and handed it to Lin Shu. It did indeed say that the Pin family was a noble family, and there was also a handwritten edict from the current king, which was like a golden medal of immunity from death.

In this way, Lin Shu can't be said to be completely lying.

Those Omegas who were already trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful had nothing to say.

Once they adapted to village life, their true nature became apparent.

"Mr. Rabbit, are you shameless? Hooking up with my man?" one cursed.

"You even brought those old guys from Youcun who haven't learned their lesson and set up a brothel. Do you really think we don't know?" another cursed.

A Luo had gotten the medicine a long time ago, but he didn't take it because he still had a lot of things to do.

He who maintains the status quo is invincible.

"What did I do? I didn't even touch your man. I only did it with Diao Fen. We were in a good relationship. How could I have time to seduce your man?" A Luo glanced at the pregnant bellies of these people and scolded them with a clear conscience.

"You didn't touch them, so why did you let them go and play with those old guys in Youcun?" Someone immediately stepped forward.

"Alpha, what's wrong with having some fun? Those in You Village are a bit old, but who says that old people don't have needs? Besides, all the money in the village is used to build roads, so there is no spare money for them to get wives now? It's just right that they are lonely and don't care about AO, so it's great to have the best of both worlds..." A Luo spoke louder and louder, even drowning out the dozen or so mouths.

Qingtian stood by the roadside and listened for a while, her eyes wide open.

The dozen or so Omegas couldn't win the argument with Luo, and were laughed at by the new Omega, so they all scattered in anger.

In the evening, one of the non-pregnant Omegas found Lin Shu and said that he wanted to go shopping and inherit Lin Shu's mantle.

Lin Shu agreed without hesitation, and asked Shuanzi, the widower, and another man to help. The four of them left the village overnight.

Two days later, four people went out, but when they came back, only three came back.

As the new village chief, Lin Shu convened a meeting.

"...Don't mention it. The three of us almost died outside because of him," the widower said with lingering fear.

It turned out that the Omega did not buy the goods, but encouraged Shuanzi and others to go directly to the dilapidated hotel and knock on the doors of the families to sell the goods. He didn't know what the Omega named "Gu" said, but he actually wanted to bypass the boss of the building and sell the people directly.

Shuanzi and the others were cautious and let this Omega take the lead. Sure enough, as soon as the man explained his purpose, he was dragged into the house and beaten by the family members who shared the room with him.

At first he struggled to expose himself, and threatened that he had accomplices who would definitely come to rescue him, and he would just wait and see.

When Shuanzi and the others heard this, they were outrageous and immediately mixed in with the crowd and shouted: Human traffickers!

For a time, the crowd was outraged.

People from the four rooms on the first floor rushed out, and with three punches from dozens of people, the Omega was killed on the spot.

Speaking of the Omega who calls himself "Gu", he is truly pitiful, but also hateful.

She was indeed a member of the Gu family, but not a lady, but a servant.

The head of the Gu family, the mistress, was surnamed Lin. She was quite pretty but extremely jealous. Years ago, she had taken advantage of her husband's absence to sell off his illegitimate son, who was raised by a collateral family, as a pariah. A few years earlier, because she was young and somewhat pretty, she had tried to take advantage of the master's drunken stupor by trying to commit herself to him. When the mistress caught her in the act, she, in a rage, sold her as well.

She still remembers clearly what her mistress said to her: "That slutty vixen is fine, but who the hell is she? She's not even as good-looking as I was when I was young, and yet she actually jumped out to compete with me?"

The nanny beside the mistress appeased her: "These little bitches are all the same. Everyone was young once, and after a few years, they will be the same. This is not the master's fault. The master is drunk. If he were sober, he would definitely look down on her. It's the wishful thinking of that little bitch Sichun..."

"You can't enjoy a good life, but you insist on being a slut. Fine! Sell her to the dirtiest and messiest place, the farther the better," the mistress was still angry.

The Omega named "Gu", also known as Sichun, was imprisoned in You Village. She lay on a pile of straw, looking at the moonlight and crying silently. Having seen the prosperity of this world, she was the one among these abducted Omegas who was the most unwilling to accept her fate.

The meeting in Shangcun is coming to an end.

All the new and old Omegas were called in to listen. As they listened to the widower vividly describing the final fate of the Omega with ulterior motives, they all gasped.

Not everyone has the means to take such crooked paths.

Those Omegas who had originally had thoughts about it immediately stopped.

In addition to this incident, Shuanzi brought back new news. It was said that an Omega named Zhijie and his parents were also looking for him.

Coincidentally, that person happened to be in Youcun.

Ever since they were sold to Mr. Lou for such a good price, the villagers have registered all the former Omegas, so that it will be easy to trace back if there is any news.

"Hey, it's a good thing I didn't sell it before, otherwise I would have lost money," someone said thankfully.

The widower immediately retorted, "Those who were sold at three times the price are basically almost dead, like ghosts. How could they have survived until now?"

"That's true," the others thought for a moment and agreed.

Lin Shu then asked someone to call Zhi Jie over.

Zhijie kept limping as she walked. Qingtian saw her from a distance and couldn't help but cover her eyes, turn away and cry silently.

"Your name is Zhijie?" Lin Shu asked.

"Yeah," Zhijie nodded.

"Someone wants to buy you. Pack yourself up and let the widower take you out tomorrow morning." Lin Shu's tone was like that of an emotionless businessman.

Zhi Jie was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, "Village Chief, please, don't sell me out."

He had finally captured the old man in Youcun who liked to beat his wife and killed several Omegas. If he sold him, he didn't know what kind of monsters he would encounter.

Qingtian stood with her back to him, sniffed when she heard that, and wanted to say something, but was afraid of making things worse, so she shut her mouth.

"Zhijie, I've never heard you mention your parents. Where are you from?" Lin Shu chatted casually.

"...My parents died a long time ago, and I'm the only one left in the family. What's there to say? It doesn't matter where I'm from," Zhi Jie said perfunctorily, then pulled Lin Shu's sleeve again. "Village Chief, please, there are so many Omegas in the village, why did you sell me? Is it just because I can't get pregnant? I will be a good boy and I will get pregnant soon, I promise!"

Lin Shu didn't say anything else. He pushed him away with a cold face and walked away with Qingtian without looking back.

The matter seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Zhijie sat on the ground as if she had lost her soul, and was then carried back to You Village by several people from Shang Village.

On the other side, Qing Tian hesitated and said, "His parents are alive and well, why would he say that?"

Qingtian found it very strange. When he and Zhijie lived together in You Village, Zhijie missed home very much and wanted to escape. Why did he refuse to leave now when he was asked to?

Even if Lin Shu said "sell," for Omegas like them, selling anywhere was the same as selling. It didn't matter. It wouldn't be any worse than being sold here anyway. Finding a way to escape along the way was more important than being sold.

They have parents and friends waiting for them at home, they cannot die, so they will not beg for mercy just to stay here, which is... a bit weird.

Lin Shu laughed and said, "Tomorrow you will go with Shuanzi to see him off."

The next day.

Shuanzi and Kuanzi took Zhijie, whose face was covered with a black cloth, out of the village, and Qingtian also accompanied them.

Qingtian hummed a song, sat on the donkey cart with her legs crossed, and painted her toenails with mulberry juice.

Zhijie was silent all the way.

When we arrived at Boss Lou’s place, Boss Lou actually said, “The person is not right.”

"Her name is Zhijie, that's right," the widower was puzzled.

"Maybe it's the same name?" Shuanzi tried to smooth things over.

Boss Lou asked Shuanzi, Guanzi and Qingtian to sit behind the screen in the room and keep quiet. Then he put his hand on Zhijie's shoulder and asked someone to call a couple over.

When the couple arrived, their faces were filled with ecstasy at having regained something they had lost. But when they saw Zhijie's appearance, they stopped and asked, "Your name is Zhijie?"

"What's the last name, the same as our son's?" asked the husband of the couple.

Zhijie said a surname.

"You and I have the same last name. It's fate," the husband excitedly held his wife's hand.

Boss Lou took the opportunity to say, "The price is that amount anyway, if you want it, just take it away, don't count it."

The couple are old now, and their temples have become gray from searching for their son for so many years, and they look very haggard.

"I am willing to be your son, please buy me!" At this point, Zhi Jie still had something to understand. His originally numb face instantly lit up. After he finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

The couple was hesitant. Although they felt that this Omega, who had the same name and surname as their son, was quite pitiful and was about the same age as their son, their money was only enough to cover the cost for one person. If they continued to look for their son, it would not be enough...

"I know where he is!" Seeing the couple hesitating, Zhi Jie closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and suddenly shouted.

Then he began to describe in detail his experiences over the years.

That was five years ago.

At that time, he was not called this name. His real name was very ugly. After his parents died one after another, he was kicked out by his stepmother. No one loved him. Even after he died, no one would love him...

When he was abducted to Pin Village, he offended the trafficker because of his fierce resistance, and was then sold to the old man in You Village.

The old man was very stingy. He knew that he had a tendency to beat his wife, so he saved all his money and used it to buy wives. Compared with other people, he bought no less than five wives.

Zhijie is the sixth.

When Zhijie came, the old man's fifth wife was about to die, and the old man asked Zhijie to take care of her.

The man's name was Zhijie.

It turned out that Zhijie was probably dying and very lonely. She talked a lot to him, talking about her parents and her hometown. Finally, she vomited a mouthful of black blood and died in his arms.

He thought the name Zhijie was really nice, and thought that if he had this name, he would have parents waiting for him at home and he would be loved. So, when that person died, he inherited this name.

The old man was really bad and good at beating people. In the days that followed, he lived a life worse than death.

Later, he thought of a way. He took the initiative to instigate the Omegas kidnapped from the village to escape, and he also drew a random route map for them. When those people escaped, he immediately ran to report them. As a result, the village actually gave him some food rations as a "reward for reporting". This made the old man very happy, and he stopped beating and kicking him.

He slightly whitewashed some of the mistakes he had made and compared the physical characteristics of the deceased with the couple. After the couple confirmed that their son had died a long time ago, they soon burst into tears.

"What about this person?" Boss Lou asked again after the two of them calmed down.

"Yes, we'll give you money. Maybe this is fate?" The wife wiped her tears, looked at "Zhi Jie" carefully, and nodded.

Then the wife handed the bag of money she had prepared to Mr. Lou. Mr. Lou did not pour it out to count it in front of her, but just put it in his pocket.

After everything was settled, "Zhijie" suddenly rushed over, hugged the old couple, and burst into tears.

The three of them then burst into tears again.

When they finally calmed down and were sent out by the boss with many thanks, the widower behind the screen was about to explode from holding his urine.

Qingtian sat there blankly.

He saw clearly that Brother Zhijie's leg was not lame, he was just pretending.

On the way back, he played a trick and escaped.

Shuanzi and Kuanzi chased him for two miles, but Qingtian ran very fast and couldn't catch up with him, so the two had to return to the village in shame.

After returning to the village, they thought Lin Shu would scold them, but unexpectedly, Lin Shu just said lightly: "It didn't cost any money anyway, forget it."

Shuanzi and Guanzi thought the same and felt relieved.

After the matter came to an end, Su Liu returned to Spark City with the two little animals when he sent the first group of nine people out of the village.

Du Sha was studying the potion that Su Liu had given her before, but the ingredients in it were too few and she didn't figure out anything. However, Lin Miao had made a new discovery.

The pill obtained from Dang Xia was obviously of higher purity than the one bought on the black market. The main ingredient in the pill was a substance that had never been seen before, and Lin Miao had no idea what it was for the time being.
