Chapter 215 The Devil in the World
Li Weidong is a lustful man. Although he has his eyes on Yan Shaoli, the educated youth have just arrived and have not investigated the backgrounds of these people clearly. If he acts rashly, he will only hurt himself. Li Weidong is very cautious about this point.
He invited Yan Shaoyang, Yan Shaoli and others to his house for dinner every day so that he could investigate the household registration without making any noise.
Yan Shaoli is not a simple person, but Yan Shaoyang is different.
He was cautious at first and didn't want to talk about his family affairs, but Li Weidong's gentle approach of boiling a frog in warm water, treating him to good food and wine, plus his recent bad luck and separation from Yan Shaoyu, quickly won over the hearts of several people.
The instructor also treated people differently based on their situation. He knew that Liuzhi Brigade was remote and it was not easy to even go to the supply and marketing cooperative. The educated youth assigned here were all from ordinary families, their parents were workers, and they did not have any powerful background.
Li Weidong was shocked when he knew that Yan Shaoyang and Yan Shaoli came from high-ranking official families. He even used his connections to find out whether the instructor had sent the wrong people and why he sent such young masters and young ladies to him.
Later I got a clear answer, what master and young lady, a phoenix without its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken!
Someone from above ordered that these people be sent here specially so that they can never go back.
At this point, Li Weidong was completely relieved, and then he showed his fangs.
That day, he called Yan Shaoli over alone and said that his son liked her and asked her to go over and look after him.
Yan Shaoli thought about how Li Weidong had taken good care of them, the educated youth, so he did not refuse. When he got there, he was treated to a meal of white flour buns and pork stewed with vermicelli. Such food was already a feast for the Liuzhi Brigade, which had only bland food.
However, such a meal was just an ordinary thing for Yan Shaoli.
So, she did not become alert, nor did she think of the story of the weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken.
After eating a hot meal, Yan Shaoli felt dizzy and shaky. The moment she fell, she saw Li Weidong, who had gone out to work, become a double image in her sight.
Fortunately, Yan Shaoyang discovered something was wrong and came over in time, otherwise it would have been a tragedy.
However, since then, Li Weidong has completely changed his attitude.
He completely banned the brigade members from delivering food to the educated youth's camp, hoping to use this to control them.
Even if Yan Shaoyang starved to death, he would never use his sister to satisfy Li Weidong's animal desires. Fortunately, Jin Can once followed his parents to farm in the countryside and often went up the mountain to look for game. During that time, several people relied on the mountains to fill their stomachs.
Jin Can is the girl with albinism. She has little presence, but she saved everyone at the educated youth site.
After that, it rained heavily. In order to save Yan Shaoli who was trapped in the house, his spine was broken and dislocated. Even with such a serious injury, Li Weidong just asked the village barefoot doctor to come and take a look and apply some medicine.
Already paralyzed on one side, he had given up the thought of saving himself.
Gu Yuehuai frowned: "Why don't you leave here?"
Yan Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "Where are we going to leave here? If you don't obey the instructor's arrangement, you will be sent back. Even if you go back, you won't be assigned a job. What will you eat and drink? And..."
He lowered his voice a lot and murmured: "I don't want to cause trouble for my brother. It's already difficult for him."
Yan Shaoli lowered her head, looking a little scared and embarrassed. That memory was no less than a disaster to her.
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips, not knowing what to say to comfort them.
The temperature in Yan Shaoyu's eyes dropped a bit, and his tone remained unchanged: "You are courting death."
Gu Yuehuai's expression changed slightly, and he held his arm: "Don't mess around. Li Weidong did something wrong. We just need to report it to the commune with evidence. You don't need to take the lead. It's easy to get into trouble if you do it privately."
This kind of behavior is somewhat similar to Tian Jing's. They both deserve to die, but if they want to take revenge, they must always find an opportunity and cannot be impulsive.
Yan Shaoyang said hurriedly: "Yes, big brother, you must not be impulsive. I didn't leave any evidence at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed in Liuzhi Brigade without reporting it. Besides, we are not completely without gain by staying here."
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes to look at him: "Harvest?"
Yan Shaoyang said in a weary voice, "Xiao Yi, you go ahead and tell me."
Lei Yi nodded, scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and said: "Brother Yan, Sister Gu, my name is Lei Yi, you can just call me Xiao Yi!"
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said, "Xiaoyi, did you find anything in the Willow Branch Brigade?"
Lei Yi restrained his smile and nodded solemnly: "When we went up the mountain, we also met people from the Liuzhi Brigade and learned some things from them. This Li Weidong is not that simple. He seems to have had deep contact with the kidnapper!"
Gu Yuehuai paused for a moment, then asked seriously, "Kidnapper?"
Lei Yi nodded: "This Liuzhi Brigade is very strange, with more men than women. Most families give birth to boys, and there are very few girls. Over the years, there are a lot of bachelors in the village! We heard that most of the women in this Liuzhi Brigade were bought from outside! And the matchmaker is Li Weidong!"
Gu Yuehuai's pupils shrank, a little bit in disbelief.
She knew about human trafficking and the cruelty involved. Most of the people trafficked were city girls. But she didn't know that the Liuzhi Brigade, which was so close to her, was actually a human trafficking den!
Lei Yi paused, his face became heavy and sad, and then he said something explosive: "Li Weidong has married twelve wives, and each of them died inexplicably."
This time, not to mention Gu Yuehuai, even Yan Shaoyu frowned, with a cold look between his brows.
Lei Yi looked grim and continued talking.
"He is the matchmaker and has deep connections with the human traffickers. Every household in the brigade is in need of women, so they naturally beg for help, hoping to buy women from Li Weidong. Over time, he has become the boss of the Liuzhi Brigade who has the final say."
"We thought we had evidence against Li Weidong and wanted to use it to sue him, but the people in Liuzhi Brigade were very united. Most of them had bought women before and knew that this was a crime, so no one was willing to testify."
"And those women who were bought had already had children and had settled down there, with no intention of returning home."
"Moreover, the dead wives of Li Weidong are also a warning, a sign of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. No one dares to jump out and lead everyone. They are all afraid of being tortured, and the desire to survive in their bones has been completely wiped out."
"We didn't want to give up. We wanted to sue the commune and ask the leadership to send someone to investigate, but Li Weidong kept a close eye on us. As soon as we left the Liuzhi Brigade, we were intercepted and brought back."
"Li Weidong has a gun."
After these words were spoken, the educated youth point fell into a long silence.
Gu Yuehuai was a little dazed, and a deep sadness rose in his heart. This sadness was extremely heavy.
