The van drove onto Binhai Road, heading north, and soon left the city of Anhai.

When the road was bumpy and the car started to slow down, Xie Qing realized that they might have entered the mountainous area.

Mountainous areas mean that there are few people, and Tan Yi and others are unlikely to be able to follow closely. She will face a situation where support may not be timely.

This is a link that has been focused on in previous repeated simulations.

Xie Qing was not panicked at all. She raised her ears to listen to the movements outside. No matter what she heard, she used humming to send Morse code to the team following behind.

Da Chong scolded her twice, but because the voice was not loud and the girl next to her was sobbing, he didn't care.

After bumping for seven or eight minutes, the van stopped.

An old voice said, "I'm back. How's the cargo this time?"

Da Chong said, "It's fine. Dad, come up and help. Carry these kids down."

"Yufen, hurry up. What are

you looking at? Get in the car." "You're pointing at me for everything. Why don't you lend a hand when I'm cooking?"

"Okay, it's just a little work. What are

you complaining about?" "Are you talking human language? With so many mouths, even pigs have to be fed for a while."

...

The two got on the car with a chatter.

Xie Qing looked over. One was an old man in his sixties and the other was an old lady in her sixties.

The old man carried a boy in each hand and got off.

The old lady picked up a boy and took a look at the two older ones. She asked, "Who are you going to sell these big kids to?"

Da Chong said, "They have problems with their brains. They can be used for other purposes. Don't worry about it."

The old lady stomped her feet and said, "Chong, it's okay to sell a few people. We won't do anything that hurts people."

Da Chong waved his hands impatiently, "I know, you don't understand, don't worry about it."

He got down from the driver's seat, walked around to the back door, carried Xie Qing out of the car.

Xie Qing looked around.

This was a courtyard with high walls. The courtyard was spacious, with five large tiled houses and bright windows.

She struggled twice and hummed a few times.

Da Chong entered the main house, walked through the central hall, went out through the back door, crossed the backyard, and entered a shed covered with a rain sheet.

The shed was filled with farm tools such as hoes, shovels, baskets, and grinding wheels.

Da Chong put Xie Qing down, lifted up two grinding wheels, and then picked up a thick wooden board embedded in the ground, revealing a large hole about one meter square. Under the hole was a steep wooden ladder.

Da Chong picked up a thick wooden stick next to him and said, "I will untie the rope on your feet now, and you can walk down by yourself. If you don't want to walk, this thing will serve you well and make sure you can run down even if you roll and crawl."

Xie Qing nodded and indicated that she would go down.

...

The cellar was stinking.

Xie Qing adjusted herself for a while before she breathed a sigh of relief.

The cellar was large. After coming down the ladder, there was a public area of ​​about three square meters. There were two grooves on the earthen wall with candles lit in them.

There was a toilet under each candle, and the smell mainly came from there.

Using the groove as a dividing point, a hole was dug on the left, middle and right.

There were sounds in the two holes, with faint talking on the left, weak crying in the middle, and no sound on the far right.

Could it be that one was for a woman, one for a child, and the last one was empty?

Xie Qing pondered while waiting for Da Chong's order.

She felt that the cellar was more than two meters below the ground, with a thick soil layer, and the eavesdropping device would most likely become ineffective.

She had to fight alone.

But it doesn't matter. As long as this gang wants her virginity, then it's safe to be obedient. There's no need to worry too much.

There were footsteps on the ladder, and another girl came down.

Two old men followed behind, each dragging a big sleeping child, and went to the cave on the far right.

"What are you looking at? Go in." Da Chong waved his stick and raised his chin towards a cave on the left.

Xie Qing went into the cave.

There was no light in the cave, and the weak candlelight shone in, allowing her to see twelve pairs of frightened eyes - all the prisoners here were young women, the oldest was in her early thirties, and the youngest was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Fourteen or fifteen!

Beast, it's not a pity to die!

Xie Qing was so angry that she felt a surge of blood rushing up, and she wanted to kill them immediately.

"I told you to sit down, are you deaf?" Da Chong kicked her from behind.

Xie Qing stumbled forward and was supported by a girl. She didn't bother to thank them and turned around and sat down.

Da Chong picked up the tape from the corner of her mouth and pulled it down with a "swish". "This time, scream, but no one will save you even if you scream your throat out."

Xie Qing was afraid that her anger would reveal her true emotions, so she hugged her knees and cried.

The other girl also realized the reality and burst into tears.

Da Chong smiled with satisfaction, turned and walked out the door, and soon there was no movement outside.

Xie Qing lay on her knees for a long time until someone pushed her back. "Hey, where are you from?"

She raised her head and asked instead of answering, "How long have you been here?"

This question was much more important than "where are you from". The girl who came with Xie Qing also stopped crying and asked with sobs, "Yes, how long has it been? They won't lock us up for life, will they?" The

oldest woman sighed, "How is it possible? They want to sell us and send us to the countryside to be wives for bachelors. I came here the day before yesterday. Don't be afraid. Just obey them and you won't be beaten."

Is it so kind?

Obey, what does it mean specifically?

Xie Qing drew two question marks in her heart.

"Go along?" A girl with red eyes and swollen cheeks answered her inner doubts. "It sounds nice, but it's just a way to satisfy their animal desires. Isn't it despicable? It's so despicable. I won't do that. If you have the guts, just kill me."

The woman was very embarrassed, and she said "tsk tsk" twice, and stopped talking.

Several other young girls lowered their heads, and some even sobbed softly.

Xie Qing saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly stopped talking.

...

At noon, the old lady came down with two iron buckets. The

oldest woman was very expressive. The old lady went out as soon as she came down, and smiled flatteringly: "Auntie, let me help you."

The old lady kicked her mercilessly, "Bitch, get out of here, I don't need you."

Dan Fengyan sneered, "You are so scumbag, you deserve it."

The woman happened to hear this when she came in, but she was not angry, "You don't have to look down on others, there will always be that day, you will know when the time comes."

Dan Fengyan wanted to say more, but was stopped by Xie Qing.

Xie Qing whispered, "Don't use your own ideas to demand others. You are priced high, so people won't touch you for the time being. This sister is old and married, so she can't be sold at a high price. If she doesn't obey, she will be beaten half to death even if she doesn't die. You are responsible for your own life, and she is responsible for her life. Don't interfere, do you understand?"

Dan Fengyan was stunned, and after a long while he said, "I just can't get used to it."

Xie Qing said, "Are you used to these traffickers?"

Dan Fengyan shook his head.

Xie Qing asked, "Then why don't you teach them a lesson?"

Dan Fengyan stretched his face in front of her, "Do you think I didn't do it? Look at what they beat me up like!"

Xie Qing said, "If this sister treated you like the traffickers, would you still dare to talk to her like that?"

"I..." Dan Fengyan stopped talking.

Xie Qing followed up with a sentence, "Morality is used to demand yourself, don't kidnap others to be like you, you don't have that power."

Several young girls' eyes became lively, as if they had been pardoned.

"This girl said it well."

"I feel much more relieved now."

"Yeah, you die by yourself, and you live by yourself, so you don't need to care about other people's opinions."

...

"Why is the pot boiling? What are you talking about?" The old lady came over with a bucket, "Have you thought it through, you little bitches? That's right, it doesn't matter who you marry, if you are less stubborn, you will get less beatings."

The old lady put the bowl on a stool, picked up the bucket, poured the porridge into the bowl, then held it up and sent it to the girl closest to her, "gulp gulp" feeding it.

Here, people are not as good as pigs, at least pigs can decide how to eat and how much to eat.

The air downstairs was bad, so the old lady left after finishing her work.

Xie Qing asked the girl next to her, "I saw two more holes next to them. Who are they imprisoned in?"

The girl said, "One is a child, and the other is empty. She just fed them milk, and she will come down soon to change their bedding."

Another girl also said, "Those children are even more pitiful. They sleep all day. One of them died a few days ago, and I don't know where he was buried."

Someone behind cursed, "Fuck, it's better to sell us earlier, at least we can see the sun. I've been imprisoned for half a month, when will it end?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Wuwuwu..."

People can easily collapse in desperate situations, and the women started crying again.

...

About an hour later, the old lady really came down again, cursing and fucking, and went up again half an hour later.

Xie Qing memorized this process. She had inquired and knew that if no man came down, no one would come down next.

She stood up and walked outside...

The woman in her thirties said, "Don't bother. The cover is pressed against the millstone. You can't run away."

Xie Qing said, "I'll go see the children."

The woman thought for a moment and stood up, "Sister, you are kind-hearted. I'll go with you."

Dan Fengyan also came out and walked around the ladder. "The milk was drugged. I guess he's asleep."

Xie Qing and the woman went into the next room.

This place was smaller. The ground was covered with thick straw, and a large mattress was laid on the straw. There were two quilts on the mattress. Thirteen little boys and girls were lying in a circle in a row, and they were indeed asleep.

Xie Qing looked at them one by one and soon found a baby in a swaddle with a flushed face. The situation did not seem good.

The woman also noticed it and said, "Mom, this child is sick."

Xie Qing walked over, knelt down beside the child, and tested the temperature with her forehead, saying, "At least 38 degrees, it may be higher at night."

The woman said, "This child is too young. If you leave him alone, he will be feverish."

Xie Qing sat down beside the child and silently thought of a countermeasure.

The human traffickers built such a high courtyard wall and spoke so loudly, which means that the people in the village did not know what they were doing. This courtyard should also be on the edge of the village.

It can be concluded that Tan Yi will definitely find a way to enter the village and hide in the surroundings.

But the problem right now is not where they are, but that her message cannot be spread.

Moreover, even if it can be spread, is it time to close the net now?

This is the question.
