The days when I was forced to be a magic stick

After eating lunch, Yan An went to the bedroom to sleep in the dark, and when he woke up in the afternoon, his brain was swollen and painful because he had slept for too long.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face, and the cold water made him wake up a lot.Calculating the time, it won't be long before Gu Xuechen gets off work. He changed his shoes and prepared to go out without bringing the little black cat.

The hottest part of summer has not yet passed, and the air is hot and humid.

Yan An summed up the recent events. He did the divination at the police station that day and got two pieces of information, southwest and northeast.

The matter involving Jiang Huai in the Northeast, due to the disappearance of Li Qingtian and Zhou Yuyao, must first be found by the hexagram master of the special center, and it has come to an end for the time being.

On the southwest side, Longtian led people to investigate. Dashan Village is located in a mountain depression, far away from the city, and there is no signal. He has lost contact with Longtian for several days. I don't know if they have left Dashan Village.

Thinking of this, Yan An took out his mobile phone and called Long Tian again.

In fact, he didn't have much hope in his heart, because every time before, a nice female voice reminded him that the phone was out of service area.

Hold the mobile phone and follow the people off the bus, stand at the intersection and wait for the red light, and the red light on the opposite side has a countdown of 1 minute.

"Hello? Master Yan."

The phone actually connected!Yan An was so surprised that he took the phone in front of his eyes and looked at it, it did indeed show that he was on a call.

"Director Long, have you left Dashan Village?"

"Yes."

Yan An could hear that the other party's answer was a bit reluctant, and he looked weak, as if he was very weak.He raised his heart, "What, what happened?"

"Hey, it's a long story, and we were careless. We thought that Dashan Village was just an ordinary poor village, but almost all of them were planted there."

On the morning of the second day after the phone call with Yan An, Long Tian and the others found a local to take them into the mountain as planned.

The weather in the mountains is changeable and it is easy to rain, but Longtian and the others are lucky, the weather is always sunny, which speeds up their speed of entering the mountains.

They set off in the morning and didn't dare to rest on the way. It was almost noon and finally arrived at Dashan Village, Zhou Yuyao's hometown.

Many isolated villages are resistant to the outside world, not to mention a group of outsiders who come to the door by themselves, but the people in Dashan Village are different.

When Long Tian and his party arrived at Dashan Village exhausted after a morning's trek through the mountain roads, the villagers of Dashan Village warmly welcomed them.

There are few people in the hospitable mountains, but it's not that there are no people. Although Long Tian and the others felt a little strange, they didn't care too much.

He declared to the outside world that he wanted to find an original ecological environment for filming, and the environment in Dashan Village was very suitable, but he still needed to investigate and investigate, and used this reason to temporarily settle down in Dashan Village.

However, they soon realized something was wrong, there were too many people in Dashan Village.

It doesn’t mean that poor villages necessarily have fewer people. In fact, the poorer the villages, the more they have to insist on having sons. However, the number of people in Dashan Village is a bit too much.

A large part of them are women, followed by young adults in their 30s and [-]s. There are very few elderly people, but they have a high status.

Long Tian and the others felt very strange.Dashan Village is a poor village. It stands to reason that it is far more difficult for men in the village to marry a wife than other people. Why is it the other way around here?

The number of women far exceeds the number of men of marriageable age in the village by several times.

And the strangest thing is that there are no little girls in the village.They searched the whole village, and the youngest girl looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a big belly already.

They suspect that Dashan Village may be involved in the trafficking of women.After following this clue, I was shocked to find that all the women in the village were foreigners!

Dashan Village is close to the southwest border, but there is still a long distance from the border. However, the women in the village are all from several countries that border the southwest border.

None native.

They lived in Dashan Village for several days, but they didn't find out any news about Zhou Yuyao. They all said that he never came back after he left the village to study.

Long Tian considered that the situation in Dashan Village was really weird and there was obviously a case inside, so he didn't rush to leave, but arranged for Liu Dazui to leave first to inform Yan An of the news, and Zheng Yong and him to stay in Dashan Village.

The more I search, the more confusing I feel.

They asked those women in private, and because of the language barrier, they didn't get much information, but they were sure that they were not trafficked.

They were bought.

It is true that buying wives exists in the small border countries, but how can a poor village get so much money to buy them?

Even if you buy it, you can match it to all the men in the village. What's the point of paying several times more?

All the mysteries were finally solved in one night.

Long Tian and the others were lucky enough to catch up with a woman in the village giving birth, the youngest woman they had noticed before, only seventeen or eighteen years old.

At that time, Long Tian and Zheng Yong were wandering in the village. Perhaps because it was too dark, they stood in the shadows, and the villagers did not notice their existence.

The village seems to attach great importance to the birth of newborns. The delivery room is brightly lit, and there are many villagers standing outside holding torches.

Long Tian and the others thought this was some kind of ceremony, when they suddenly heard a loud baby crying, and then heard an old man say something in local language.

Before they could react, the baby's crying suddenly disappeared, and turned into a dull whining sound, as if someone had gagged the baby's mouth, and the same was true after the woman yelled a few times.

They didn't know what happened, but a bad feeling rose in their hearts.

Not long after, two strong men came out of the house carrying a stretcher. The stretcher was covered with a layer of white cloth, and it was obvious that someone was struggling underneath.

Behind the man was an old man, holding in his arms the child that the woman had just given birth to. They were followed by two men holding torches, and hurriedly walked in one direction.

Seeing this situation, Long Tian Zheng Yong hid himself more carefully and followed behind these people.

These people stopped when they reached the end of the mountain road, and saw one of the men holding a torch step forward and push aside the tree vines hanging on the mountain wall, and a dark hole was soon revealed on the mountain wall.

They left two men guarding the entrance of the cave, and the others went into the cave, and when they came out, the women and children were gone.

Long Tian and Long Tian quietly lay in ambush in the distance, and waited for these people to leave. They waited for a while before starting to act until the fire was no longer visible.

Leave a person on the lookout, and use a secret whistle to notify them immediately if there is an abnormality.

Long Tian entered the cave to check, the cave was deep and tortuous, and there were obvious traces of manual excavation. The air in the cave was very humid, with a faint smell of decay and fish.

I turned a corner with the flashlight that came with my phone, and suddenly there was a little light in the distance.

He became more cautious and approached the source of light a little bit. After about 10 minutes, a half-person-high hole appeared in front of them.

Long Tian didn't go in hastily, but squatted down to observe carefully, but the scene inside made him almost scream out.

He has been a policeman for so many years, and he got to where he is today by virtue of his ability. To put it bluntly, what major or tragic case has he never seen?

But the situation in the cave is that he has been honed for many years and can be said to be hard-hearted, and it is shocking to see it.

That is a hell on earth.

There is a large space inside the cave, and the ground is concentric circles. There is a half-meter-wide distance around it to cross the road, and the terrain in the middle gradually slopes down.In the center of the cave and the lowest place, there is a pool of one meter square.

The slope is covered with ceramic tiles, and two-meter-high wooden stakes are lined up on the slope. Almost every wooden stake has a naked person tied to it.

Long Tian wasn't sure if they were still alive, as far as he saw, some could be seen as complete bodies, while some had rotted into skeletons.

And the woman who gave birth before was among them.

She was in the direction of Longtian's right hand, and there seemed to be something wrapped around her body, because it was too far away for Longtian to see clearly, so she lowered her head and remained motionless at this moment.

After carefully confirming that there was no one else in the cave, Long Tian hurried in to save someone.

The bloody smell in the cave was so strong that it was nauseating, mixed with the smell of rotting corpses, it made Long Tian dizzy.

He walked towards the woman as fast as he could along the mountain wall, and when he got closer, he realized that what was wrapped around the woman was nothing but a snake as thick as a thumb!

These snakes are non-venomous, but they are tightly wrapped around the woman's thighs, waist, and neck, and have already bitten many wounds.

Long Tian was furious in his heart, he checked, and although the woman's breathing was weak, she was indeed still alive!Those villagers actually used living people to feed snakes!

Holding his breath, he grabbed the snakes off the woman's body and threw them away. Only now did he see that the woman's body had been cut with a sharp knife.

Blood was oozing from the wound, and many openings were torn open by the snake.Long Tian suddenly remembered that snakes eat meat.

He untied the woman and placed it on the ground. The half-meter-wide aisle could barely accommodate the woman lying flat. He kicked the snake on the ground down the slope, and the snake slid along the slope into the bottom pool.

When he looked back, a somewhat familiar shape came into view.

Those villagers left the woman and child in the cave. Long Tian was attracted by the woman's tragedy earlier, so he didn't think of the child for a moment.Now, he saw the child.

The child was placed by the pool below.

Long Tian got up and was about to run down, there were stairs not far away.At this time, the woman suddenly woke up, she stared upwards, her lips twitched.

There was no fear and resentment in the eyes, but hollowness and numbness, and tears kept streaming from the corners of the eyes into the hair.

Long Tian squatted down, put his body close to the woman's lips to listen to what she was saying, unexpectedly, the woman spoke the native language.He read it carefully, and there were only four words that kept repeating.

Male, live; female, dead.

What does it mean that a man lives and a woman dies?He hurried down the steps, worried that the child would be hurt by the snake he kicked down, but when he stood at the bottom, he froze completely.

"She's dead, isn't she?" Yan An sat on a bench in the park near the Gu's office building, the sun had not yet set, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was icy cold.

He didn't know what happened to him, so that sometimes things that he didn't know appeared in his mind. Before, he felt lucky, because he was more confident in dealing with Li Qingtian.

But now, he feels sick.

Knowing clearly what Li Qingtian did and the purpose of each other's actions, he felt disgusted.

Long Tian on the phone confirmed what he said. Long Tian said, "That's right, she is dead. Just like her mother, she was cut and only part of her body remains."

"I finally understood what that woman meant. They were bought into a mountain village, and they had to give birth to boys to survive. Once they gave birth to girls, what awaited them was death."

Yan An leaned his head back on the chair, closed his eyes fiercely, and said in a rough voice, "I know."

he knows.

The women were tied to wooden stakes on the slope, and the villagers would put snakes that had been hungry for a long time on the cut wounds, and the snakes tore open the wounds and burrowed into the human body.

The blood flowed out from the wound, and the more it flowed, it gathered at the woman's feet and flowed to the blood pool in the center.

And in this process, the woman will not die.

The same is true for children, but they are just born and cannot bear it for long.

Long Tian thought that Yan An meant that he understood, and continued, "At first I suspected that they were involved in trafficking, but now it seems that the risk of trafficking is too great, so they chose human trafficking."

"In that cave, there are thousands of corpses, large and small."

He passed out after seeing the child's body, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was also tied to a wooden stake, beside Liu Dazui who should have left, and Zheng Yong who was looking out.

It turned out that the villagers in Dashan Village had already been eyeing them.

The old man in charge of Dashan Village told them that if they stayed calm and did not investigate, they could leave safely.

But in that case, how could we not investigate it!

"Until now, I don't regret it, they are a group of insane executioners!" Long Tian said fiercely, coughing because he was too excited.

"But for some reason, they didn't do anything to us, they just tied us to stakes in the cave and did nothing else."

"If it wasn't for the celestial master from the Techu Center to find Dashan Village, we would probably starve to death inside."

"But there's one thing I don't understand. Why don't they feed us to snakes like those women?"

"Because you are men." Yan An murmured, "If your blood flows in, the pool of blood will not be clean."

Long Tian didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

Yan An didn't speak, and was silent for a long time, "Did that woman survive?"

Long Tian on the other side was also silent, "She committed suicide."

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
