Luo Xuan and Lao Dao stumbled forward amidst the push and shove of more than a dozen heavily armed mercenaries.
That night,
A group of people waited and found a huge cave to take shelter.
Those guys naturally lit a bonfire.
They ate big mouthfuls of grilled meat and drank big bowls of rice wine. They talked unscrupulously about some unscrupulous and glorious past events...
Luo Xuan and Lao Dao, whose eyes were covered, could only huddle in a corner and suffer.
On both of them,
They were all tied tightly with ropes as thick as thumbs.
Not only that,
The highly vigilant group of mercenaries also tied the other end of the rope firmly to the boulder.
It's really hard to escape.
However, Luo Xuan himself has powerful willpower. A rope as thick as his thumb is not enough for him.
It's actually not that difficult to break it.
It's a pity... Based on his own intuition, Luo Xuan felt: Among the gangsters eating meat and drinking wine there.
There are always two pairs of eyes staring at me from time to time.
It seems,
These guys come out to grab free labor. They are already very familiar with it and have accumulated rich experience.
Their vigilance is really too high!
This made Luo Xuan, who couldn't see clearly what was going on around him, dare not act rashly at all.
If you and Lao Dao dare to move around for no reason, you will definitely end up eating peanuts!
In the eyes of these beasts, they will not treat people as humans.
Killing oneself with a single shot is a common occurrence for them.
Killing himself and Lao Dao would not affect their mood of eating meat and drinking wine...
Lao Dao put his head close to Luo Xuan and whispered: "Don't act rashly. These guys should be specially hired armed personnel in Mengli Valley.
These beasts are veterans of several poor nearby countries...all of them are desperadoes."
Lao Dao gritted his teeth, "You can pick out any beast among them. Each one of them will have at least ten or twenty lives on his hands."
Luo Xuan asked, "Lao Dao, if they stop to rest in the middle, or when we go to the toilet.
If there is a good opportunity.
I mean...if! I will give you a wink at that time. Don't just stay there stupidly.
Run when you need to, shoot when you need to, and grab the gun when you need to.”
Lao Dao shook his head, "They won't give us a chance to seize the gun.
These guys have been out catching piglets for many years. These beasts are very familiar with all kinds of escape tricks!
They have countermeasures...the beasts will not give us any chance to escape."
A group of people took Luo Xuan and Lao Dao Xiao to spend the night.
On this road, it is as expected as Lao Dao said: these guys are really experienced.
During the whole process, I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to escape.
This time I walked for three days before finally arriving at my destination: a courtyard called Miaobadi located in the Mengli Valley.
The yard is surrounded by barbed wire as the first line of defense.
There were four heavily armed guys guarding the door.
As soon as they saw Captain Long coming back, they smiled flatteringly and said, "Captain Long, why don't you get much out of this trip? We just caught two piglets and came back."
Captain Long snorted coldly, "With a radius of 200 miles, who doesn't know that we are arresting people everywhere?
Now in the wilderness, it’s not that easy to catch wild boar cubs!”
"That's that!"
The guard nodded and bowed to apologize, "The little one can't speak. Captain Long, don't worry about it... please come inside."
After passing through the barbed wire gate, about 20 meters in, there is another tall courtyard wall made of stone barriers.
There is also a barbed wire fence above the walled courtyard to prevent people inside from escaping.
Go further inside,
More than 10 meters away, there is another barbed wire fence!
Moreover, in the open space between the barbed wire fence and the stone wall, there are groups of wolf dogs, wandering around and chasing...
This... Lao Dao glanced at Luo Xuan: It's over!
The level of security here is no less than that of a prison for serious prisoners!
"What are you looking at?"
Captain Long kicked Lao Dao over, "No matter how carefully you observe, it's useless! The only four-legged things that can escape from here are rats.
As for two legs and two feet... Hahaha, I'm afraid there are only sparrows!
And if you run away, you must show it to me! After you run away, I will catch you and get another bonus... Hahaha."
Lao Dao got up and said, "I tell you, we are from the Celestial Dynasty! We live on the other side of the boundary river.
Did you see this little brother next to me? He is an educated youth who came to join our production team."
"I don't care where you are from."
Captain Long snorted coldly, "When you get here, you are all coolies who can mine.
Want to get out from here? That's impossible.
Unless you can get 5 more people to exchange for your freedom. Otherwise, even if you die, I will still have to bury you here!"
Just by tricking 5 people into coming over, you can get yourself replaced?
Lao Dao couldn't help but feel a little moved.
But Luo Xuan knew very well: Those were all lies!
These guys are looking for coolies everywhere, even if they do what they say: find a way to trick 5 more people from their hometown.
In the end, it can only be the gourd baby to save grandpa, come and stick one in.
These grandsons are all born in the year of Pixiu,
If it falls into their stomach, how can it be vomited out?
After entering this courtyard, the first thing that comes into view is a huge dirt square.
The square is also made of wire grids, divided into small areas.
In an area of tens of square meters,
There were groups of shirtless men and women receiving all kinds of corporal punishment: some had their heads in their hands, stood up repeatedly, and then squatted down again.
Repeat the leapfrog like this.
In other grids, shirtless men and women were running around the wire grids.
And behind them, there were two vicious gangsters holding leather whips.
As long as you are the one who runs to the end,
Regardless of whether they are men or women, the whips in their hands will hit them hard without mercy!
There was a "pop" sound! It was a red mark...
Some women's skin is relatively tender. When they are whipped with a whip dipped in salt water, blood immediately drips from their crests.
Immediately turned up a shocking blood stain!
"Ahh——"
The person who was beaten was naturally in unbearable pain, and his screams echoed in the empty square...
"Hahaha - so cool! Beat her, keep beating her, beat her to death!"
Looking at their masterpiece, the two gangsters holding whips seemed extremely excited and enjoying themselves.
then...
The screams from behind the team became even more intense...
"There is no distinction between men and women here."
One of Lao Dao's gangsters escorting Luo Xuan laughed and said, "What's the difference between a boar and a sow?
Anyway, they are all being slaughtered for meat.
Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman here, whoever does a good job and turns in the most jade will be rewarded...a big reward!"
"As for those guys who ate from the big boss but couldn't dig out jade? Well... look at what happened to them."
The gangster smiled and said, "Hey, I have a hard life. I go out to catch piglets. It would be so cool to be responsible for taking care of these guys here..."
abnormal!
Luo Xuan cursed secretly.
Just wait...I will pay back that slap a hundred times!
After walking around the square, what comes into view are rows of houses with brick and stone structures.
The reason why the big boss invested in opening a jade mine was that he was so willing to build masonry houses for the workers.
Is this for the good of the workers?
Go ahead and dream!
In fact, the big devil is still considering safety: if wooden boards or bamboo are used to build a simple work shed.
Those bamboo poles on the wall can be turned into sharp weapons that can pierce a person's belly in minutes!
In this case,
The personal safety of the guards responsible for guarding will face greater threats.
It doesn't matter if a few workers die.
But if a mercenary dies, the big boss will lose a lot of money... It’s not cost-effective!
Next to the rows of brick and stone houses where workers sleep, there is also a very huge house with a reinforced concrete structure.
Before Luo Xuan and Lao Dao even approached the room, they heard bursts of screams coming from inside that were beyond human comprehension...
"Stop it, please, don't hit me... Oooh, I can't bear it anymore!"
"Brother, brother! I listen to you and work hard, okay? Don't hit me... okay? Ah! Help, stop hitting me, please..."
"Grandpa, please stop hitting me, please. I can write a letter or send a telegram! As long as you don't hit me, I will listen to you no matter what you ask me to do...Help, please stop hitting me, please."
You guys, I can’t stand it anymore, wuwuwu..."
The screams inside were really scary.
Lao Dao and Luo Xuan involuntarily tightened their scalps!
"Quack quack——"
The door to the cement house is a heavy rail door.
The sound of the guard pushing open the door made one's teeth hurt.
Wait until the door slowly opens.
The first scene that caught Luo Xuan's eyes was three naked men and women.
I saw them hanging upside down on the iron beam, and underneath them was a huge water tank.
Beside the water tank, there were three fierce guards standing.
They grabbed the men and women who were dumped, and kept pushing their heads into the water.
When the victim stopped coughing and struggled violently, he slowly turned into a weak writhing.
These guys will pull their heads out of the water.
And often by the time the victim arrives, their face has already turned red.
Because he was hung upside down, he coughed violently.
So their faces were filled with tears, snot, saliva, and even blood.
This is a kind of torture similar to "water torture".
People who are often subjected to this kind of punishment should be those who have value that can be extracted: or their families have money.
The demons wanted them to write letters home so that their families could give them money to redeem them.
Either these are the people who are more prestigious among relatives and friends.
The devil planned to ask them to write letters back to their hometowns and trick some people into coming...
Waterboarding relies on the overwhelming fear of imminent death to make the victim succumb.
And behind them,
The conditions of those workers who are being tortured wantonly by the guards are actually worse than those of the previous ones who were tortured.
