A few days later, the phone rang again.
"Oh, okay, I understand." After saying that, Fang Zhiyi wrote down an address and waved it towards the surrounding villagers.
Everyone became excited.
"Don't worry, they want five people to try it out first. They'll provide food and lodging, and it'll be 12,000 yuan a month. Let me pick one."
Upon hearing this, the villagers raised their hands one after another.
Fang Zhiyi had already figured it out, and then named five people. These five people were the most brutal wife beaters in the village, and their wives were also abducted.
The person who was named was overjoyed: "Thank you, Uncle Fang!"
"Haha, I can go to the big city too!"
Fang Zhiyi, however, comforted those who were not selected: "There will be another chance next time. There is a multinational company being built over there, and they are very short of manpower!"
The five of them set off together according to the address.
When they arrived at their destination by bus, they met Mei Lanju who came to pick them up. Mei Lanju was very generous and took them to dinner. She then bought them plane tickets and handed them over to a manager. They were still dreaming and had no idea that the money they were using was the money they earned from selling their bodies.
Five people who dreamed of getting rich quickly woke up to find themselves abroad. After changing several vehicles, one of them finally asked, "Where are we going?"
The manager sitting in the front row turned around with a fierce look in his eyes, his previous kindness long gone: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Everyone noticed something was wrong, but as the car stopped, a dozen big men with machetes surrounded the car, and then the five people realized that something was wrong.
The villagers now leave every two days, and sometimes they receive calls from overseas, telling them that there is gold everywhere and asking them to come quickly. The villagers who answer the phone are so excited that their hands are shaking, while the villagers who make the calls are covered in wounds, but their faces are filled with joy.
"I'm suffering here, and you still want to go back to the village and sleep with your wives in your arms?"
Gradually, all the able-bodied laborers in the village left, leaving only the old, weak and sick.
The old people finally realized something was wrong, because the children who went out could hardly be contacted. They went to ask Fang Zhiyi, but Fang Zhiyi gave them a perfunctory answer.
That very night, some doors in the village were knocked, and then people followed Fang Zhiyi away one after another. It was not until the next day that the elderly people left behind in the village discovered that the daughter-in-law they had bought with their own money was missing!
The village was in an uproar. They wanted to chase after them, but how could a guy as old as them catch up with them?
Fang Zhiyi, who was walking on the dirt road at the time, was carrying a girl with a broken leg on his back. He said with a smile, "Hurry up! There's a bus your aunt hired on the side of the road. You can go home soon."
The women looked somewhat numb, and some of them did not believe it, and just followed Fang Zhiyi.
Fang Zhiyi sighed. He knew that long-term torture had turned these originally cheerful girls into this state. He visited various people in the village just to find out how many people had been trafficked here. During this time, he found people tied up with iron chains and with broken legs, which made him furious.
"Uncle Fang... Uncle Fang," the girl on his back said weakly, "There's a dead body under the pigpen where I'm imprisoned."
Fang Zhiyi was stunned, and after taking a few steps, he said "hmm".
"I'm sorry."
Some of the women even brought their children with them. Although they were reluctant to admit it, they were indeed their own flesh and blood. Once the bus appeared and everyone got on, they seemed to come alive.
There was a chorus of crying and shouting in the car.
At this time, the girl with a broken leg realized that Fang Zhiyi did not get on the bus, but just waved at them.
She waved to him hesitantly, then watched him turn around and walk back the way he came.
