"Actually... you really took back the barrier?" An Lian looked shocked.
Qingfeng also looked incredulous, "Yes, she didn't even use the Nebula Board to say anything, she just screamed twice. Why did the little girl compromise?"
Everyone looked incredulous.
Anzesi, on the other hand, was thoughtful. He had really watched a lot of documentaries about giant pandas. He had seen the top-notch style of giant pandas, seen the scenes where people were crazy about them, and had seen countless patients suffering from depression because of them. get relief. At first, he found it incredible and difficult to understand, but as he watched, he gradually felt the charm of giant pandas and could understand why so many people are crazy about them.
So at this moment, he was probably the only one who wasn't shocked.
The little girl was probably too tired. After retracting the barrier, she lost strength and fell down. Tang Zhening was startled and quickly caught her.
Then she was in trouble.
This person was caught, but how to take him down?
Fortunately, the guards came to help at this time, so she was not unable to get up and down.
Tang Zhening couldn't help much when it came to rescuing people. The most he could do was increase his size when there were not enough stretchers to help transport some injured and sick victims.
Originally, she thought that if the cultivators were so powerful, although the people would have to suffer some hardships, at least their lives would not be in danger. But the reality is actually not optimistic.
When he saw the guards coming out carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth, Tang Zhening was stunned, "This is..."
The house guard, who still looked childish, explained: "The old lady woke up in the morning and found that the first floor was flooded. She was anxious to go down to collect her belongings, but she fell down the stairs. Later, the water level came up and she drowned alive. "
this……
Tang Zhening frowned, "Does she live alone?"
"No, she has a big family, including sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and grandsons. There are more than a dozen people in the family, but..." The palace guard hesitated and said: "But the old lady had little sleep and woke up in the early morning. When she fell, the whole family was She slept soundly, and she was mute,
No one heard the sound at all, so..."
"That's it." Tang Zhening frowned, "Go and do your work."
Then she watched the other party send the body on the stretcher out by boat.
Tang Zhening realized that she was really useless. The guards were rescuing people, and some servants were distributing food to the victims, but she could only watch from the sidelines.
"Young master, it's not good!" But at this moment, several imperial guards and envoys Feizhou rushed over.
Chu Jiwei was originally distributing the star medicine to the victims, but when he heard this, he turned around and looked over.
Several palace guards were out of breath and said: "We searched a cellar that has been flooded. There are some children in it. The situation is not very good now. Two have died, more than half have high fever and are comatose, and the remaining The older children are just trying to cope with their illness."
"There is not much space left in the cellar, the entrance and exit are small, and the children below cannot move. We have no way to rescue them."
"Can't move?" Chu Jiwei raised his eyebrows.
The leading guard replied: "The water in the cellar is too deep. Fortunately, there are a bunch of empty wine jars and jars in it. Those children are also smart and know how to turn over the jars and jars to use as stepping stones. Only then can they survive." Now. But because of this, they are not very active now."
"What should we do?" Tang Zhening couldn't help but ask.
Chu Ji said dangerously: "We can only lift the ground, otherwise it will be difficult to do anything."
The group of people arrived at the shop that the guards mentioned. It was said to be a shop, but in fact it was just a single-room hut. It was attacked from both sides and had no appearance at all.
Obviously, this shop is probably used as a warehouse, but this cellar is full of children...
Tang Zhening looked over and saw that the small shop had been separated by a barrier by Chu Jiwei's guards, and all the water inside had been drained. When they walked in, they saw a small hole in the ground in the corner. Look at the size. , I'm afraid even a taller person wouldn't be able to get in and out.
"Sir, the cellar below is very large. It is initially estimated to be half the size of this shop. Therefore, the structure is actually not very safe. We don't have an internal map and are not sure of the specific scope of the cellar. We are afraid of opening up the ground rashly. It will cause secondary harm to the children underneath." Fu Wei explained.
"I'll do it!" Before he finished speaking, a horizontal knife appeared in Chu Jiwei's hand.
He raised his hand, and between the sword energy, the bright sword light quickly appeared. The next moment, a piece of ground shook and floated into the air.
Chu Jiwei waved his hand, and the ground turned into powder and dissipated with the wind.
Tang Zhening looked down and was immediately shocked by the tragic scene in front of him.
The cellar is not particularly big, about five or six cubic meters, and there are more than a dozen children sitting on two large inverted water tanks. Because the area at the bottom of the tank was too small, they tied themselves tightly together like rice dumplings.
Even if there was a water tank, they were submerged in water from the waist down.
Many children were already unconscious, and the few remaining older children were holding on to the knots, fearing that the ropes would break and let their friends fall.
Tang Zhening noticed that these children were very thin, with wounds on their exposed skin, and they looked at people with guarded eyes.
"These children..." Tang Zhening had a guess in his mind.
While Chu Jiwei was directing everyone to rescue people, he said: "This place should be the den of human traffickers."
Tang Zhening frowned and asked, "In Qingcang Civilization, are human traffickers legal?"
As far as she knew, slave contracts were legal in the interstellar world. Even in some technological civilizations, the existence of slaves was not eliminated. Naturally, she had to have this suspicion.
"Of course not." Chu Jiwei said a little surprised: "Why do you think this kind of thing is legal?"
"If human traffickers are illegal, then where do the legal servants sold by Yahang come from?" Tang Zhening asked.
Chu Jiwei couldn't laugh or cry: "Although the slave contract is extremely harsh, unless the slave betrays his master, it is also a crime for the master to lynching him. What's more, although the slave contract is harsh, if the slave contract is concluded with a cultivator, the life span is There will be a slight improvement. For example, if an ordinary person signs a slave contract with a Mengguang realm cultivator, his life span will be increased by at least thirty years. Therefore, although becoming a slave will lose his freedom, his own The benefits will also be compromised, but it is not without benefits. If you meet a good-tempered master, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages."
"You mean...those who sold themselves into slavery did so voluntarily?" Tang Zhening was somewhat doubtful about life.
Chu Ji nodded.
"But..." Tang Zhening tilted his head, "If I remember correctly, some cultivators have also concluded slave contracts with others. What are they doing for that?"
