"How old are you?"
After looking around the studio, I walked up to a boy in the corner and asked.
The boy's face is still childlike, his skin is dark, his eyes are clear, but he is as thin as a walking bamboo pole.
At first glance, it looks like stunted growth caused by long-term malnutrition.
"I-I'm more than ten years old." The boy huddled in the corner and stuttered, looking at me with a look of fear on his face.
Looking at this conditioned reflex, you can tell that he has been beaten frequently.
His arms, which looked like hemp poles, were also covered in bruises and cigarette burn scars.
Judging from the accent, he should be from Wanwan, Guangxi.
At this time, the adult man next to him said to me in Guangxi Mandarin: "He and I are from the same village. He is 14 years old this year. His grandfather got cancer and needed money for treatment, so he begged to work with me. Who knew We were tricked by the foreman into coming to Myanmar to be sold.”
As soon as he mentioned this, the man gritted his teeth with hatred, and his tears were filled with regret.
"14 years old... Where are your parents?"
"My father passed away when I was one year old, and my mother went out to work and never came back. My grandfather and I were the only ones who depended on each other at home."
The boy wiped away his tears, looked at me longingly, and continued to cry: "I don't want my grandfather to die. He brought me up like this and never enjoyed a single day of happiness. I want to make money and take him to Beijing for medical treatment, woo woo! "
There were four people deceived by the foreman, and he was the youngest, a minor.
"Damn, these beasts deserve to be damned!" Bayi couldn't stand listening anymore and cursed angrily behind me.
I took a deep breath, cleared my throat and asked, "Are there any minors in the studio? I think anyone under 18 years old counts!"
silence.
Everyone looked at me blankly, not knowing what I was going to do.
For piglets like us who have been deceived, as soon as they fall into the trap, their ID cards will be taken away and then sold to buyers together with their people.
For example, Lulu knew my identity information and bought me a ticket online. When I flew to Yunnan and was knocked unconscious, she took away my ID card and mobile phone.
I still don't know where the certificate is.
Now that the boss has been shot to death, who knows where he ended up, and where did he hide the ID cards of the piggies?
Therefore, I have no way to verify their true age and identity.
Age can only be determined by appearance and height.
"I'm...16 years old."
A girl raised her arms covered with scratches and said with a trembling voice.
The girl is petite, and her face cannot be seen clearly because of her long shawl-length hair.
I glanced at everyone, "Did anyone come with her?"
They shook their heads no.
"Tie Zhu, take the two of them away. The others continue to work! Anyone who dares to cause trouble and escape privately will be tied up!"
Seeing that I was going to take away the boy, his fellow villagers were a little worried and wanted to stop him, but since we had guns in our hands, they had to swallow their dissatisfaction.
Then he watched helplessly as we took the boys and girls away.
It can be seen from the panic in the piglets' eyes that they think I am going to "resell" them.
As soon as I walked out of the studio, I bumped into Boss Yu, "Boss Jiang, are you still planning to buy piglets?"
"Buy, how much are you going to buy?"
I signaled Tie Zhu to take the people outside the gate to hand over the wrench, and then left Zhan Shan and the others to guard the piglets here to prevent them from being robbed by other park owners.
We can't move all the piglets at once. Doing so will only arouse suspicion.
"Oh, the prices of all piglets have increased now, especially beautiful women. I can't bear to buy them!"
Boss Yu looked at the backs of the Guangxi boy and the girl and said, "Hey, are you going to resell that kid?"
I put my arms around his shoulders and laughed and said, "Yes, some bosses like to play with boys. They are short of money recently and want to get some cash to circulate."
Boss Yu walked downstairs with me and said mysteriously: "Boss Jiang, I think we are very compatible. I don't know whether to say something or not..."
"If you tell me you can do it, I will definitely help you do it!"
This old man must be hiding something bad. I have to get close to him and get some useful information.
"Boss Jiang is so refreshing! Let's go downstairs and talk about it!"
Boss Yu was obviously very excited. He probably wanted to tell me something he couldn't handle.
We quickly reached the first floor and stopped under a crooked-neck tree.
The area is not yet finished, and there are piles of yellow mud and bricks everywhere.
When Boss Yu saw no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, Boss Sha must be doing that business in private."
"How did you know?"
I don't know "which" refers to "which", so I can only pretend to understand.
"Of course I know. He thought he could hide it, but God wanted me to know his secret."
Boss Yu was a little angry. Apparently he felt that Boss Sha had made all the money by himself and he couldn't even get a share of the broth, so he was planning to stab him in the back.
Seeing that I remained silent, he added, "Do you know why he was able to take over that three-story building?"
...I shook my head and looked at the three-story independent building with the door closed.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt like Liu Shiyi's three-story western-style building.
Damn it, just say it out loud if you have something to say. How can I guess if you just play riddles with me?
"Hey, Boss Yu is so happy, come downstairs to bask in the sun!"
Before he could speak, a group of people walked towards us.
The leader was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with sinister eyes and well-dressed man.
There were five or six bodyguards behind him.
There were black people and yellow people, and they all had guns in their hands.
Boss Yu whispered softly: "He is the one named Sha..."
"It's quite a scene!" I smirked and looked carefully at the bodyguard behind him.
"Boss Sha, you are lucky. We are almost at a loss. We have so many piglets running away and we don't know if they will be caught or not. Alas!"
Boss Yu walked over and sighed.
Bayi and I looked at each other and wanted to laugh, but we couldn't.
"Why is this boss... so unfamiliar?" Boss Sha ignored Boss Yu and walked up to me and questioned.
Boss Yu quickly answered, "Boss Jiang, the boss of the park next door to me."
Boss Sha looked at all of us carefully, "Boss Jiang? This name sounds so familiar!"
Judging from his accent, there is no doubt that he is Chinese, but I can't tell which province he is from.
I smiled and said, "Because there are many people named Jiang in China, it sounds like the name of an acquaintance."
"Ha." He sneered, "You guys chat, I need to go out first."
After that, he left quickly with those arrogant bodyguards.
"Damn it, what kind of cow is that? Isn't it just a dog under Captain Wu?" Boss Yu spat as he looked at his retreating back.
"Who is Commander Wu?"
"The commander of the Wa Army, the man who asked Xu Wei's sister to be his concubine, the man named Sha had a secret deal with him..."
