Actually, ever since Lin Mengya came to the aboriginals and experienced so many things, she was increasingly certain of her previous conjecture.
The result of the aboriginals' blind exclusion and extreme isolation was not only the poverty and backwardness of the aboriginals.
The aboriginals had a distinct social class distribution, coupled with the increasingly acute conflicts, which made the aboriginals a huge poisonous insect training ground.
Everyone was trapped in this small world, constantly fighting and killing each other. The higher-ups fought for resources and power. As for the lower-ups, they only had a hope of survival through internal strife and struggle.
But it was only a hope.
Because above them, the Elders Guild and the higher-ups were always suppressing them.
This was a vicious cycle.
No one could escape from this cycle, unless they completely gave up everything here and jumped out of the fight for power in the aboriginals. Perhaps then, they might still have a chance of survival.
However, their retreat was restricted by all kinds of objective conditions.
Just like the poisonous insects in Zai Zhong.
They had no way out. Other than fighting to the death with their opponents, they had no other choice.
Under such an extreme and cruel struggle, human nature had become distorted to an unknown extent.
Just like the two kidnappers they caught today.
The tools they had on them were enough to prove that they had come prepared, and this was not the first time they had overturned a case.
Furthermore, after being caught, they insisted that it was an unintentional mistake, or a last-minute response. This was probably the result of many times they had committed crimes.
Therefore, Lin Mengya was almost certain.
At the very least, these two should have succeeded many times in the aboriginals' internal affairs.
But there were no clues about the missing children.
This meant that all the children they had abducted had, without exception, died young.
But how could they hide this from the parents who had lost their children?
Unless it was an "accident" that they could witness with their own eyes.
Huo Xiao was silent for a long time. His expression changed again and again in a very short period of time.
"All these years, I have sent people to guard all the entrances and exits of the aboriginals, but I did not find any suspicious people entering or leaving. So where did these children go? "
Lin Mengya rubbed the space between her eyebrows. "Sometimes, if you don't feel pain, you won't know how bad your behavior is. Not everyone is like you and me, who have the basic conscience of a human being. "
To people like her and Huo Xiao, children were weak and helpless, but they were also the hope for the future.
Therefore, as long as it was within their capabilities, they would try their best to protect those young lives.
However, there were some people who wanted to destroy and extinguish these hopes that had yet to mature.
Or perhaps they felt that they had great power in their hands and could control the lives and deaths of others. They could also manipulate the futures of others without any scruples, changing their original course and turning them into tools that they could use at will.
The isolated and ignorant environment of the aboriginals was probably the most suitable environment for these perverts to thrive.
They only needed to build a remote house to turn these children into "living dead" who would never see the light of day again.
And this was precisely the most infuriating and terrifying part.
Huo Xiao understood the severity of this matter.
He pursed his lips and frowned. "I'm going to look for my father. By the way, be careful. I've already arranged for people to constantly patrol the surroundings. We'll be able to reach Yuehu City in another half a day. "
Lin Mengya nodded
She nodded and watched Huo Xiao leave in a hurry.
But at this moment, she felt a little uneasy.
According to Uncle Huo's description, no one dared to commit crimes in Yuehu City.
At least on the surface, they had to maintain harmony, so they didn't have to worry about their own safety.
But at the same time, Yuehu City had temporarily become the center of power for the aboriginals.
Therefore, those filthy parasites who lived on the desire for power would probably also gather in Yuehu City.
As the saying went, there was no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days.
She definitely couldn't let her guard down any longer.
At the very least, she had to protect the safety of the two children.
After they set off, a small grey messenger hawk silently flapped its wings and flew out of the window of the carriage.
This was a forest where all kinds of birds gathered, so this messenger hawk didn't attract anyone's attention.
It flew through the sky and freely traversed through the forest. Finally, it found its target. It let out a happy cry and landed lightly on the man's shoulder.
A strong and powerful hand took it down from its companion's shoulder, opened its wings, and took out the small letter container hidden under the layers of feathers.
"Quick, look at what Gong Ya wrote on it. Little Fubao must be missing me. Aiya, I also miss that little doll. "
Duan Jinzi couldn't wait to pull on Mute Zheng's hand and fantasize shamelessly.
Mute Zheng couldn't even be bothered to look at him, but he still quickly opened the thin letter.
Unexpectedly, after reading it, his expression changed drastically.
Qian Jinzi was instantly scared out of his wits.
"No, don't tell me Little Fubao's condition has worsened again? That shouldn't be the case. Before I left, I checked again and again. There's definitely no problem! "
As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled on Mute Zheng's sleeve and hurriedly got on the horse to chase after Little Fubao.
He didn't even care about the things in his hands and directly stuffed them into Mute Zheng's hands.
But the horse belonged to Mute Zheng.
He tried his best to whimper and whimper for a long time, but the horse didn't move at all.
Qian Jinzi was furious!
"What kind of lousy horse is this? If you delay my treatment of Little Fubao, I will kill you and make you into horse meat barbecue!"
Unfortunately, the emotions of humans and horses could never be the same, especially Qian Jinzi and Mute Zheng's horse.
Even though his face had turned red, the horse still leisurely lowered its head to graze, not caring at all how anxious the man on its back was, and even threatening it.
Qian Jinzi's face darkened.
He felt that he was being looked down upon by a horse.
How preposterous.
"Take a look."
Mute Zheng handed the note to Qian Jinzi.
Compared to the other party's flustered state, Mute Zheng's style of doing things could be described in one word — — steady.
"What are you still looking at! They're already burning with anxiety. I wonder what kind of trouble Little Fubao is going to suffer this time! "
Qian Jinzi anxiously mumbled.
But when he saw the message on the note, his face instantly stiffened.
"Who did it? They still want to steal the child, right? "
Knowing that they didn't know Little Fubao's illness, Qian Jinzi instantly felt a lot more at ease.
But when he thought of the note saying that someone had secretly tailed them and wanted to kidnap Mo Yan, he immediately felt another kind of anger.
Mute Zheng helplessly glanced at him, flipped over the horse, and sat behind Qian Jinzi.
Behind Qian Jinzi, he pointed at the second half of the note.
"What? Haven't you finished reading it? You're really a man. You can't get anything out of it. If I knew it wasn't Little Fubao's illness, would I really be so anxious? "
Qian Jinzi mumbled to express his dissatisfaction.
But Mute Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The two of them had always been like this. Qian Jinzi was impatient, but full of tricks and knew when to yield.
Although Mute Zheng was not good with words and looked as cold as ice, he could always hit the target with one strike. He was steady and decisive.
As for not talkative.
When the two of them first worked together, he was not like this.
However, Qian Jinzi was a person. If he were to nag on his own, he would be full of nonsense. If he replied with a few words, well, it would have the effect of one plus one equals forty-six.
It was very annoying.
Qian Jinzi finally saw the end of the message.
After that, there was a strange silence for a long time.
The two of them sat on the same horse, looking at the morning sun on the horizon. It was a rare moment of peace.
"What do you think Gong Ya means?"
Qian Jinzi's tone was a little strange. If one listened carefully, there was an inexplicable tremble in his voice.
"If it was really like what she guessed, then would my younger siblings still be alive?"
Mute Zheng raised his head and touched his head.
Before everyone became strong, they would have their own scars that were hard to hide.
He was, and so was Qian Jinzi.
Qian Jinzi rubbed his face. After trying hard for a while, he found that he really could not make any expression. Then, he shrugged his shoulders shyly.
"Whether this is true or not, I have to verify it myself."
He turned around and distanced himself from Mute Zheng.
"That, Mute. Although every time we work together, I take the money and you do the work. But this time, I might not be able to find a sucker to extort, so — "
"Cut the crap. Let's go."
Mute Zheng could not help but roll his eyes.
But Qian Jinzi seemed to have received some kind of shock. He clutched his chest.
"Mute, I'm talking business with you! You see, it's not easy for you to support your family. For a business partner like me who has a conscience, it's not good for me to bargain with you. How about this time, consider it a friendship price. Give me a 50%, no, 30% discount. 30% should be enough, right? "
Mute Zheng: "…"
He wanted to give Qian Jinzi a bone fracture. Was that okay?
He did not know who said that their relationship was purely financial. In the future, Qian Jinzi would only be his employer and bodyguard. There must not be any personal relationship.
Heh, where did the friendship price come from?
Qian Jinzi licked his face. Hey, who didn't have a time when the road was narrow?
But seeing that Mute still did not say a word, the dissatisfaction in his heart grew deeper. In the end, he could not help but complain.
"I say, you stinking mute, you really have a heart of stone! If I did not find you in the small ravine, you might have been sold to some black coal mine to dig for coal! Why are you so obsessed with money that you can't get out of it? The friendship between the two of us for so many years, is it not worth a discount? "
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He even sounded like he was about to cry.
"At most, at most, I'll owe you! But we have to agree, you are not allowed to collect interest from me … "
Mute Zheng could not bear to listen anymore. He raised his whip. "Go!"
