Chapter 374 Entering the Labor Camp
Tang Bao knew from a very young age that the labor camp was a place where the families of prisoners and officials were imprisoned and forced to do hard labor.
But she still didn't quite understand why someone would spend a lot of money to buy children to work in labor camps...
It wasn't until she was escorted by Liu Lao Da and Qi Lao Wu to the transaction that she finally understood from their conversation...
It turned out that someone wanted to buy an eight-year-old child to go to the labor camp to replace a boy whose family was implicated, practicing the so-called "Li Dai Tao Jiang" strategy!
No wonder she is more valuable than those other "hookups"!
Because the other party was anxious to save the boy's life!
But his life is life, so other people’s lives are not lives?
Tang Bao was very unhappy, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
If we let this kind of thing go unchecked, who knows how many more people like Brother Yi An will be left in the future, who were already implicated and will have to suffer this kind of injustice for no reason!
It's really hateful!
......
Boss Liu and Old Five Qi were very vigilant as they walked along. It was not until the sky began to turn pale in the east that the outline of a huge camp built on the barren mountain and surrounded by high walls and iron nets finally appeared in front of Tang Bao.
“Ouch—!!”
The roar of a tiger suddenly sounded.
The soldiers patrolling around the camp became alert instantly, and scared Boss Liu so much that he almost lost control of his bladder!
To prevent prison breakers, no one is allowed to approach within 100 meters of the labor camp. Violators will be killed without mercy!
Damn it! If someone finds me, I’ll be shot to death right here and no one will care!
Tang Bao sat on a big rock and looked up, and saw a shadowy figure on the watchtower far away.
She closed her eyes and listened carefully...
In the air, one seemed to be able to faintly hear the sound of metal and stone being worked on, the hysterical cursing of men, and the faint suppressed crying.
So... that was a labor camp! It really wasn't a good place!
......
After the surroundings quieted down and everything returned to normal, Liu Lao Da and Qi Lao Wu found the right opportunity and took Xiao Tangbao with them, almost crawling away from the slope.
Only after they were sure they were far enough away from the labor camp did they dare to stop in a relatively dense forest, leaning against a tree trunk and gasping for breath.
"Damn, it was too dangerous..." Qi Laowu was still frightened and wiped the cold sweat and dirt from his face. "Why did a tiger appear in this area out of nowhere? I almost got killed there!"
Tang Bao could tell that this was not the first time they had sent people to the labor camp!
These bad guys are so hateful!
Boss Liu's face was still gloomy, and he looked around vigilantly.
It was already daybreak, and the morning light shone through the gaps in the woods, making them feel even less secure!
"Trade usually takes place late at night. Now it's broad daylight. The tiger's roar just now must have alerted the patrolling soldiers... It would be too conspicuous if we brought her with us. We can't try to find a way to contact the meeting point now."
Qi Laowu also agreed: "Big brother is right. Then... let's stay here for a while? Rest our feet, calm down, and get something to eat."
The two were already starving, but fortunately, although they didn't find any dry food when they came down from the mountain, they did pick up a ham!
The two men discussed it and really didn't dare to light a fire. They tied Tang Bao tightly to the tree, pulled out their daggers, cut off a large piece of dark red meat from each of them, and swallowed it down forcefully.
Seeing the two beggars across from him wolfing down their food, their hands and faces covered in grease, the little guy felt sick to his stomach.
After the two of them barely filled their stomachs, Qi Laowu finally remembered the little guy tied to the tree...
He cut two thin slices of ham and handed them to Tang Bao's mouth: "Here, eat something. It's worthless if you starve to death."
Tang Bao suddenly turned his head away, his little face filled with fear and disgust, and he shouted in a shrill voice, "I won't eat it! This ham is a murder weapon! I saw human blood on it!"
Boom!!!
Her words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of the two beggars.
Boss Liu and Old Five Qi froze in place for a moment, looking at the unfinished ham in their hands in disbelief, and then looking at each other.
Thinking about the three corpses in the escort agency, and then thinking about this ham, it seems that its origin is indeed unknown...
"puff--"
"vomit......!"
Both of them reacted and scratched their throats in horror, trying to spit out everything they had just eaten. They looked extremely embarrassed!
Xiao Tangbao lowered her head and didn't look at them again... She had sprinkled poison on them, and these two kidnappers might not live until tomorrow morning!
Humph...Tang Bao doesn't blame himself at all!
The bad guys deserve to die with their intestines pierced and their stomachs rotted! Tang Bao did nothing bad! Tang Bao has a clear conscience!
......
That night, Liu Lao Da and Qi Lao Wu took Tang Bao to a very hidden place on the west side of the camp, marked with an abandoned canal, to wait for pick-up.
The waiting time was long and agonizing, and every breath seemed to be stretched infinitely... Qi Laowu's sweaty hands tightly covered Tang Bao's mouth, fearing that she would make any sound.
Finally, at the appointed time, an iron fence disguised as a pile of weeds at the end of the canal was quietly pushed open from the inside.
A man wearing armor and a black scarf covering his face stuck his head out. He glanced around sharply, and finally stopped at the pile of rocks where Liu Lao Da and Qi Lao Wu were hiding. He raised his arm and made a gesture.
The two men looked around, with sullen faces, and walked out of their hiding place with Tang Bao as if they were familiar with the route.
Little Tangbao looked and counted as he walked, trying to remember the route.
The soldier looked at them carefully, then focused on Tang Bao who was being held by Qi Laowu. After confirming that their ages and body shapes were roughly consistent, he lowered his voice and spoke very quickly:
"As usual, half the money is here. The other half will be delivered to your designated location once we confirm the 'replacement' is successful and there are no leaks."
After saying that, he handed over a heavy bundle. Boss Liu took it and weighed it quickly...
He opened it again to confirm that there was indeed silver inside, and then signaled Qi Laowu to push Tang Bao over.
"Don't worry! This is a long-term business, we can't cheat you!"
The manager impatiently grabbed Tang Bao's thin arm, without even looking at the two cripples, and turned to walk towards the labor camp.
Boss Liu and Old Five Qi looked at each other, and didn't dare to stay any longer. They picked up their bags and quickly disappeared into the night.
Tang Bao was very nervous and didn't know if Brother Yi'an was okay now.
Maybe he's no longer in this labor camp...
