Stimulate your numbness!
The young man was internally screaming.
Then a shiver ran through him, and a warm stream soaked his crotch. Both Lu Yuan and the Wolf King took a step back in disgust.
Holy crap, I was so scared I peed myself!
This person definitely doesn't like drinking water; the urine smell is too strong!
Lu Yuan dragged the person a little further away, threw him on the ground, and asked, "Have you thought it through? Do you want to tell the truth honestly or not?"
The young man had lost all will to resist or hope, and nodded frantically.
Lu Yuan laughed, ripped the tattered clothes out of his mouth, and said, "This time I'm too lazy to ask you questions one by one. You should know what I want to know. Just tell me everything about you, your village, and Sanlaizi."
The young man was despondent. He knew he was doomed whether he spoke or not, but he didn't want to die at the hands of this man and the wolf. He just hoped that if he spoke, the man would hand him over to the police.
With that in mind, he recounted everything he knew in his life.
After listening to his account, Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.
This Lijia Gou is truly a den of crime, where people are trafficked, murders are committed, tomb raiding and all sorts of evil deeds are done, and the key point is that the entire village is involved.
This man is the son of the old village chief of Lijia Gou, and his name is Li Si.
Everyone in Lijia Gou is surnamed Li, and their ancestors were tomb raiders. They were not originally from Lijia Gou.
Originally, no one lived in this place. It was the older generation of the Li family who discovered a large tomb here, which contained a lot of gold, silver and other burial objects. It was impossible to dig it all out in a short time, so the Li family moved here, built houses and cleared the land to settle down. They named this place Lijia Gou (Li Family Gully).
Because of the many burial objects in the tomb, the people of Lijia Gou have lived a relatively comfortable life in recent years. They are never short of money. When they run out of money, they sell some burial objects on the black market. Every household is quite well-off.
However, because of its remote location and the barren land they reclaimed, the people of Lijia Gou were perceived by outsiders as very poor, and few good families were willing to marry into the area. It was extremely difficult for the men of Lijia Gou to find wives.
Later, someone bought a beautiful wife from outside, and then it was as if they had opened the door to a new world. Whoever reached the age of marriage would go outside to buy a wife.
The brides you buy can be chosen based on their looks, and they are often prettier and more delicate than the village girls you marry from other villages.
There aren't many people in Lijia Gou, but there are still twenty or thirty households. I heard that every household has a young wife they bought, which means that at least twenty or thirty women have been trafficked to their village over the years.
Twenty or thirty? There are far more than that.
Some were bought but the children ran away and were beaten to death, so they were bought again. Others were bought but couldn't produce a son, so they were bought one after another.
In Lijia Gou, women are not considered human beings, but merely playthings and tools for procreation. They have long since lost all sense of propriety, righteousness, shame, and ethics.
Do you think nobody knows about Lijia Gou?
In this era of limited information, their brigade rarely interacted with other brigade except for dealing with human traffickers. If a member of their brigade was added or removed, no one would know about their situation.
The most terrifying thing is that there are two other people working at the commune police station in Lijia Gou, one in the household registration department and the other in the case-handling team.
However, the two men were already registered residents of the commune, and no one knew they were from Lijia Gou. When Lu Yuan mentioned Lijia Gou at the police station, the two men knew something bad had happened, and one of them went back to Lijia Gou in advance to warn them.
The people of Lijia Gou reacted quickly, sending all the young wives they had bought to their graves, while the son that Sanlaizi had just bought was abandoned on the mountain.
Because everyone felt that the child was a jinx to them, having brought such a great disaster to the village just this morning, they considered him very unlucky and abandoned him on the mountain to fend for himself.
Actually, Sanlaizi was quite reluctant to give up the son he had just bought. He was already thirty years old and had bought three wives who had given birth to eight children, all of whom were daughters. He was going crazy missing his son.
He was very happy with his newly bought son, who was chubby and fair-skinned, and too young to remember anything. It was truly a shame to just throw him away.
Li Si took the child away and abandoned him on the mountain. He even drugged the child before abandoning him, worried that the child would cry.
After losing his child, Li Si immediately prepared to go to the home of the child traffickers to warn them, but on the way, he was frightened unconscious by a wolf carrying the child in its mouth.
Lu Yuan finally understood: after the wolf king carried away Xiao Hui, who had been abandoned in the mountains, it caught up with Li Si, who was about to inform the human traffickers, and then scared him unconscious, dragged him into the forest, and covered him with tree branches.
Not only that, it also concealed the drag marks, which he wouldn't have been able to spot if he hadn't had experience as a soldier and bodyguard.
Lu Yuan stroked the wolf king's head and praised it generously, "Well done, wolf king. I'll give you some roasted meat and fruit later."
He was also quite surprised. The wolf king's intelligence was probably higher than that of many people. It was as if the spiritual spring water had given them sentience.
The wolf king seemed dissatisfied with the reward, raising its head and staring intently at him.
Lu Yuan smiled, "There's still a big bowl of water, is that alright?"
The wolf king was overjoyed, wagging its tail enthusiastically. If it weren't for the baby in its mouth, it would have grinned like an idiot.
Lu Yuan couldn't bear to look at it and reminded it again, "Remember you are a wolf, the wolf king, not a dog."
The wolf king didn't care about anything else this time. Couldn't it be happy for a while if it had spiritual spring water to drink?
Li Si, still lying on the ground, was dumbfounded. Just how ferocious was this wolf? And why did it seem to prefer drinking water to roasted meat and fruit?
He didn't have any barbecue or fruit, but he had plenty of water. This stingy person only gave him a bowl of water and he was so happy. If I gave him a bucket of water, no, a vat of water, would he listen to me?
Li Si's eyes darted around, preparing to seize an opportunity to turn the wolf king against him.
After finding out the location of the ancient tomb, Lu Yuan patted the wolf king and said, "You stay here in the woods and keep an eye on this guy. I'll go out and check the situation."
After he left, Li Si said to the wolf king, "Hey, wild wolf, you like to drink water, don't you? That guy only promised you a bowl of water, that's too stingy. If you let me go, I'll give you a whole vat of water, how about that?"
The wolf king gave him a disdainful look, his eyes seeming to curse: Foolish human!
Li Si persisted, "If one large vat of water isn't enough, then two vats will do."
"If two cylinders aren't enough, then let's make ten."
"How about I get the whole brigade to fetch water for you?"
The wolf king got annoyed and didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. He walked up to him, loosened his wolf mouth, and the baby stuffed itself into his mouth.
"Waaaaah, waaaaahh ...
