There is no doubt that this skinny boy has recognized Lin Yu's identity as a monk, otherwise he would not be so sure that Lin Yu can save his mother.
In this way, Lin Yu had a little more expectation for what this skinny boy could come up with!
Scarlet Blood City is not far from Luo Xing Mansion. Isn't the most popular thing in Luo Xing Mansion now the relics of the evil cultivator?
Monks are wary of monks, but have a natural contempt for mortals. Maybe the secret that Heigu had hidden well from the monks was accidentally known to a mortal at some point.
For example, the address where Heigu disguised his identity.
Maybe, this skinny boy can give Lin Yu a surprise!
Erdan looked at Lin Yu with a little determination and a little light in his eyes. He licked his lips and whispered, "Sir, can you just say it?"
"No..." He looked around and asked cautiously, "Did other monks hear it?"
Lin Yu's interest instantly exploded like he was on a rocket. He raised his hand and a soundproof mask appeared. Then he stared at the boy and said, "It's okay to talk."
The skinny boy's eyes seemed to be shining. He nodded heavily and then said sonorously, "I know who is trafficking in people!"
Lin Yu was stunned.
what? Human trafficking? Isn't that what the dentist does?
Even if it is illegal trafficking, it is not Lin Yu's business! This matter is under the management of the city lords of each city, and Lin Yu cannot interfere.
Of course, he can report it and urge the City Lord's Mansion to investigate the matter.
If he intervenes directly, that would be called overstepping his authority!
He frowned, and Erdan thought he was doubting himself, so he quickly continued.
"I have inquired about it. Every year, several companies in the city are looking for people to go to the royal city to work, but in the end, at most 1 out of 10 people come back!"
"For so many years, they have recruited hundreds of people every year, and now the total number is probably tens of thousands!"
"I can't control this matter." Although the skinny boy said it seriously, Lin Yu still said this.
Lin Yu sighed in his heart.
Tough luck! I thought I could get information about Black Bone Cave Mansion, but a human trafficking incident happened!
With this thought, he lost most of his motivation to treat other people.
It’s so uncomfortable to have lost hope!
But Lin Yu felt uncomfortable, and there were people here who felt even worse than him.
Seeing Lin Yu's lack of interest, Erdan opened his mouth wide and his eyes trembled.
"Are you kidding me?" The hope in Erdan's eyes is like a candle in the wind, swaying in the wind and about to be extinguished at any time. "A monk like you came to us not to investigate this matter, right? Is it a coincidence?"
This is a slum here. Not to mention the monks, even the traffickers and lackeys from the west of the city rarely come here.
If Lin Yu was just a martial artist, Erdan believed that he came to this slum because he was really angry with him. But after knowing Lin Yu's true identity, Erdan now felt that everything had been planned by the monk from the moment he saw Lin Yu!
This adult has long wanted to come to this slum to investigate, but he just didn’t want to attract attention, so he just made an excuse!
I just came here by chance! Lin Yu complained in his heart.
When Lin Yu saw the boy's despair, he really wanted to help him, but he really couldn't get involved in human trafficking.
Even in the territory of Xuanshui Sect, he only has the right to advise and supervise the city lord's palace, but has no direct jurisdiction. Not to mention that not only is this not the residence of the Xuan Shui Sect, it is not even the Luo Xing Mansion!
If he goes to tell this matter to the Lord's Mansion of Scarlet Blood City, he will probably be kicked out politely!
Lin Yu spread his hands, and the light in Erdan's eyes instantly went out, and he lowered his head.
Lin Yu thought, it's better to comfort him. After all, he is a child.
"You can tell the city lord about this kind of thing, it's his responsibility."
Erdan, who had his head lowered, shook his head, his voice a little hoarse, "We have said it."
"But they said it's normal to not want to come back after going to the Royal City. Even if a thousand people leave every year, it's not many."
When he discovered Lin Yu's identity as a monk, he thought the city lord still valued it, so he was very excited.
Lin Yu thought for a while and said, "Actually, what they said is right."
King's City, that's the capital of the human race! Not to mention those mortals, even Lin Yu himself felt that he didn't want to return to Xuanshui Sect after going to Wangcheng!
Although he has never been to Wangcheng, this is the same as Beijing.
If you were asked to settle in Beijing, who would return to your hometown?
Moreover, there are thousands of people every year. This number may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not that many!
Scarlet Blood City and nearby villages have a population of more than 100,000. Thousands of people, compared to the entire city's population, is 1%.
In this era, the annual mortality rate of the population is above 1%! There are almost so many people dying for various reasons every year!
Of course, this does not include the frontline battles like Luoxing Mansion. In the two military cities of Wangshan City and Xinghui City, due to wars, the mortality rate can sometimes be as high as 50%!
Erdan raised his head, with two bright eyes on his wet face. He stared at Lin Yu and roared in a low voice, his voice was very, very firm, "They won't not come back!"
"Dad, dad said that when he makes money, he will come back and bring us a good life!"
"He won't not come back!"
Lin Yu remained silent.
It is almost an ironclad rule that men change their minds when they have money.
However, in order to take care of the little boy's mood, he chose to remain silent.
He listened quietly, being a competent listener.
The skinny boy cried wantonly and murmured in a low voice.
"They won't not come back, they promised us!"
"They, they all agreed to our promise. Dad, Liuwa's father, Gouwa's father, Erya's father, Lengzi's father, Shitou's father..."
At first, Lin Yu just listened as a competent listener, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong.
Is this list too long?
He frowned and grabbed Erdan's shoulders.
Erdan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a gloomy face.
Lin Yu looked ugly and asked in a low voice, "Is it true that the fathers of everyone in this alley have not come back!"
Erdan shook his head blankly.
Lin Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little lost for no reason. This feeling was very strange.
"Ansheng's mother hasn't come back either." Erdan added this sentence, which made Lin Yu's face change suddenly and his heart became excited.
Seeing Lin Yu's face, Erdan understood immediately.
Although I don’t know the reason, the monk in front of me definitely wants to take care of it!
He immediately added, "Not only this alley, but also several nearby alleys are like this! Some dads have gone out, and some have gone out!"
Lin Yu's face was gloomy.
Now it's not whether he wants to care, but he can't care anymore!
Things have happened!
