The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 601 Old acquaintance



Chapter 601 Old acquaintance

On the child's dirty little face, a pair of big eyes were filled with tears.

Lu Qingqing looked at the familiar face in front of her and thought for a few seconds before she remembered that this was Dagen’s child Goudan.

At this time, Goudan on the ground crawled towards Lu Qingqing, crying:

"Sister Daya, please save me.

They didn't buy me, they captured me!

They arrested me and threatened my father to work for them!"

The man opposite heard this and wanted to go forward and arrest the man.

Seeing the long knife in Qin Lang's hand, he stopped again.

He looked at the dog eggs lying on the ground and said viciously:

“What nonsense are you talking about!

It's obvious that you two have nowhere else to go, so you volunteered to sell your bodies to work for us.

Let me tell you, both you and your father have put your fingerprints on the contract of sale!

If you dare to talk nonsense again, you'll be waiting for me when you get back!"

When Goudan on the ground heard this, he became even more frightened when he thought of the screams of the beaten people he had heard before.

He dragged his broken leg and crawled to Lu Qingqing's legs, crying:

“No, they forced us to put our fingerprints on it!

My father and I can’t read, so we don’t know what they wrote on the paper.”

Lu Qingqing squatted down and asked in a low voice:

"Goudan, do you know where your father and the others work?"

Goudan nodded, carefully glanced at the man not far away, and then said:

"My father and the other captured people were all in the backyard of the largest warehouse in the west of the city, being supervised and forced to move goods."

At this time, the man opposite saw the two people whispering and felt something was wrong.

He pointed at Lu Qingqing and threatened:

"Don't be so troublesome, little girl. We, the Beggars' Sect, are not someone you can afford to offend.

You put the child down and leave, and we brothers will let bygones be bygones, and this matter will be over.

Otherwise, hehe! Don’t blame us…”

Seeing that the man was about to say something, Lu Qingqing raised the whip in her hand, pointed at him and said coldly:

“So much nonsense!

This kid is an old acquaintance of mine. You should release him as soon as possible.

After cutting off his own hands and feet, he apologized to them.

In this case, I can barely let bygones be bygones!"

The man heard Lu Qingqing's harsh words and knew there was no room for maneuver. He sneered:

"You are quite brave, little girl. It seems that this matter cannot be passed."

As he spoke, he winked at his left and right, and several men rushed up at the same time, holding sticks.

Lu Qingqing quickly picked up Goudan from the ground and stepped back a few steps.

Qin Lang had already stepped forward with a knife in hand. After dodging the swinging stick, he used the back of the knife to chop at the acupuncture points of several people.

In just a few hits, these people all fell to the ground, curled up and screaming.

At the same time, because of the fight, people around stayed away.

This has created a rare vacuum zone in the downtown area.

Based on his previous experience of fleeing from famine, Qin Lang always insisted on not letting his guard down and ensuring that the enemy had no chance to counterattack.

So, after knocking several people down, he kicked their weapons away.

Then he stepped on the few people who had no ability to resist and waited quietly for Lu Qingqing's arrangements.

Later, they barely found some things to make weapons. When Wang Demao and others who wanted to help came over, they were stunned.

Wow, is this guy’s fighting ability so strong?

Today in the car, they even teased the boy with a smile.

Looking at his harmless smile, who could have imagined the current situation!

When Lu Qingqing saw Wang Demao and his men coming, she directed them to tie up the men on the ground and put them onto the cart.

A few people were still a little confused. There might be someone coming behind them, so why didn't they run away after winning the fight?

What are you going to do by tying these people up?

Although Wang Demao was puzzled, he still followed Lu Qingqing's instructions and directed several people to start tying people up.

At this time, Lu Qingqing had already squatted down and asked about Goudan and his family.

After a brief inquiry, we learned that not long after Da Gen sent his team to the dock, government officials came looking for them.

In order to avoid losing their lives, the whole family had to flee overnight.

Fortunately, they had the silver and money given by Lu Qingqing's team. After waiting at the dock for a few days, they finally boarded a small boat.

I stayed in the bottom cabin and vomited for who knows how many days before I finally got off the ship.

Unfortunately, there were disasters everywhere at that time.

The only good thing was that after getting off the boat, the local officials no longer forcibly arrested people.

The family stumbled south and experienced several crises along the way.

During this period, family members died one after another.

During a time when they were being chased by cannibalistic refugees, he and his father were separated from their family.

They tried to go back and look for it, but were almost discovered by the refugees there.

In order to survive, I had to suppress my sadness and continue walking south.

The two men encountered many dangers along the way and finally reached Yining County.

At the city gate, I drank the water and porridge distributed by the government.

When they thought good days were finally coming, they met a man while waiting in line.

He said that when he was hiring, he needed people who were willing to work hard.

Dagen is an honest man and is worried that he won't be able to find a job to support himself and his son.

When he heard the man say this, he immediately agreed.

He believes that as long as he is not afraid of hardship, life will always get better.

When they settled down at the county government office, the man told others something, but the father and son's household registration was changed to the county town.

When they arrived at the place where they were going to work, they realized that this was a place where people were eaten.

Everyone who came in here was immediately forced to press their fingerprints to sell themselves.

Then, all the troublemakers who disobeyed discipline and wanted to escape were severely beaten.

If they refused to obey, they would be starved for a few days and then beaten a few more times.

In this cycle, there will always be a day when people will obey.

After they are tamed, the people here will classify them.

The men who came in were sent to the back of the warehouse to carry goods.

There is a special guard watching over him nearby.

If they dared to be lazy or pretend to be sick, they would be beaten with whips and sticks.

Among the women who came in, the younger ones with better looks basically went into brothels or secret prostitution houses.

Those with extremely poor appearance or those who are old are all forced to do laundry work in the backyard.

Among the children who came in, those who looked worse off had their hands and feet removed or were disfigured. Those who were more severely injured were thrown into the streets to beg.

Children like this can get more rewards.

Children with better looks were sold to brothels or men's brothels at high prices.

In short, they will maximize the resource utilization of the "goods" in their hands!

Lu Qingqing's face grew increasingly gloomy as she listened to the Beggars' Gang treating people like commodities, classifying them, renting, selling, and exploiting them.

After defeating one group of tigers and powerful warriors, another group of beggars comes.

In this world, there are always people who take advantage of others by exploiting them.

At this time, Wang Demao and Qin Lang had already tied up the men and put them onto the cart.
