Chapter 5 Rebellion
"Human trafficking, as expected!"
Fang Zhixing felt a chill in his heart, he knew that famine was spreading and everyone was having a hard time.
But I didn't expect that the situation would deteriorate to the point where everyone had to sell their children.
At this time, Fang Zhixing noticed that several boatmen were carrying sacks of food from the big ship.
Two boatmen were chatting in low voices while working.
"Hey~"
Fang Zhixing quickly gave Xigou a look.
The little dog understood it immediately.
He is not an ordinary dog, he can understand human language.
Then, the thin dog ran over in small steps, first lay down, and rolled around a few times pretending to amuse himself.
The boatman worked when he was supposed to work and chatted when he was supposed to chat. No one cared about the dog.
The transaction didn't last long and was completed in less than half an hour.
Fifty-seven girls were sold, the youngest was only five or six years old, and the oldest was fifteen or sixteen years old.
Almost all the young girls in Funiu Village were killed.
"Dad, don't sell me, don't sell me!"
In the silence, a little girl suddenly burst into tears.
Fang Zhixing took a look and recognized her as Uncle Bai's daughter Yaya. Uncle Bai had no sons, only this one daughter.
Uncle Bai squatted on the ground, with his head down, silent, and never looked up at his daughter from beginning to end.
"Take it away, take it away."
Boss Qian waved his hand impatiently, and then a burly man walked over and pulled Yaya away roughly without saying a word.
Then, a boatman threw half a bag of rice in front of Uncle Bai.
Yaya is pretty and sold for 40 kilograms of rice.
Uncle Bai silently picked up the bag of rice, turned around and went home, with Yaya's repeated calls of "Dad" echoing in his ears.
"mother!"
"grandfather!"
"grandmother!"
Suddenly, the other girls who were sold also shouted, wailing loudly, as if it was the last time they shouted in their lives.
However……
All fifty-seven girls boarded the ship and entered the cabin, and their crying stopped abruptly.
"Village Chief Zhao, you did a good job on this matter."
Boss Qian smiled and praised, then tilted his head and nodded to a boatman.
The boatman immediately carried half a bag of rice and placed it at the old village chief's feet.
"This is the agreed reward, fifty kilograms of rice." Boss Qian said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Boss Qian." The old village chief nodded and bowed, the expression on his face blooming like a chrysanthemum.
Boss Qian said no more and turned to board the ship.
The ship sailed away quickly, getting farther and farther away, and disappeared under the starry night.
Soon, smoke rose from every household in Funiu Village.
Fang Zhixing and Xigou returned to the shore, took back the broken bamboo basket, went to the yellow sand, made a fire and started barbecue.
"How was it? Did you overhear anything?" Fang Zhixing asked.
Xigou combed his hair and said slowly, "The two boatmen kept talking nonsense, mainly about women. They went to a brothel last night and slept with women. They were talking about how fair and tender those prostitutes were."
Fang Zhixing glanced at Xigou and found that he looked fascinated. He said disdainfully: "It's a pity that you will never be able to go to a brothel in your life."
The thin dog was brought back to reality and cursed, "Fuck you, forget it if you don't want to listen."
Fang Zhixing pointed at the barbecue and sneered, "Forget it if you don't want to eat it."
Xigou immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Okay, okay, I, Zhang Changji, will not argue with a villain like you."
Then he continued, "They talked about how Boss Qian went all the way south and sold many boys and girls along the way. When he arrived at Qinghe County City, he could make more than ten times the profit by reselling them."
Fang Zhixing bared his teeth and said, "He is really evil-minded. There is no business without fraud."
Xigou agreed and continued, "They also mentioned that there was a riot in Puzhou. A fierce man named Wang Tianbu rebelled, killed the governor of Puzhou, and named himself 'Tianbu Pingjun General and Commander-in-Chief of All the Heroes in the Country'. His momentum was very strong."
Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "Qinghe County is in Danzhou. I don't know how far it is from Puzhou."
Xigou sighed: "It would be nice to have a map."
One person and one dog enjoyed dinner and filled their stomachs.
After eating, Fang Zhixing put out the fire, picked up the broken bamboo basket and returned to the village.
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he immediately smelled the aroma of rice soup in the air.
Fang Zhixing and Xigou looked at each other and shook their heads speechlessly.
"Hey, isn't this Daniel?"
Suddenly, a man jumped out from the corner of the intersection, scaring the man and the dog so much that they trembled.
Fang Zhixing looked closely and found that it was the village ruffian and lazy man named "Ergou". He was as thin as a bamboo pole with his ribs exposed.
This guy is poor and lazy. He is in his forties and still hasn't married. He lives alone.
"Uncle Ergou, it's so late, why don't you go home and sleep?" Fang Zhixing responded.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ergou patted his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten yet. I'll go to your uncle Song's house to borrow some rice."
Fang Zhixing sneered in his heart. Uncle Song sold his two granddaughters to buy rice. Would he lend it to you? "Then go and borrow it." He walked forward.
Ergou suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them. He stared at the thin dog on the ground and drooled, "Daniu, people can't even get enough to eat these days, why do you still keep a dog? How about we kill the dog and have some dog meat?"
“Wangwang!”
The excited barking of the small dog sounded like a traditional Chinese quintessence passed down from ancestors to Fang Zhixing.
Er Gou wanted to eat a dog... Fang Zhixing chuckled, thinking it was hilarious. Then he looked at Xi Gou's frustrated look and said happily, "This dog is still too young. When he grows up a bit, I will definitely cook him."
"Don't wait until you grow up, it's better to do it now than to wait for a better day."
Ergou swallowed his saliva and suddenly reached out to grab Xigou.
"You..." Fang Zhixing and Xigou didn't expect that Ergou was so confused that he couldn't understand what people said.
The thin dog quickly hid backwards.
Fang Zhixing raised his hands and pushed Ergou hard.
Ergou staggered, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground, falling on his butt.
"You dare to hit me!" Ergou suddenly got angry, got up and swung his fist to hit him.
Ergou is 1.75 meters tall, a head taller than Zhixing. When he gets into trouble, he is fearless.
Fang Zhixing subconsciously raised his foot and kicked, hitting Ergou right in the stomach, sending him flying and hitting a wall, where he bounced back and fell to the ground.
After all, Fang Zhixing has more strength after eating a full meal, and young people also have faster reaction speed.
“Ouch, ouch…”
Ergou lay on the ground groaning.
"Bah, you deserve it!"
Fang Zhixing spat and walked away.
The thin dog sneered, walked to the side of the second dog's head, raised his hind legs, and peed.
When they got home, they fell asleep right away with the man and the dog.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, Fang Zhixing was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. He listened carefully and heard someone shouting.
"Ergou is dead!"
Fang Zhixing's eyes widened involuntarily and he shuddered.
“Dead?!”
The thin dog also got up, looked at Fang Zhixing, and asked, "You didn't kill him last night, did you?"
Fang Zhixing was unsure of the power of his kick, so he quickly got up and ran out.
When we arrived at the place, we saw that all the villagers had come and surrounded the place in three layers.
Fang Zhixing squeezed in, looked down, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Ergou was still lying there, with blood all over the ground.
His head was smashed and there was a bloody stone next to it.
Also, his legs were chopped off! Strangely, his legs were not at the scene...
