Chapter 12 The first meeting

Although Ban Xiyu closed his eyes tightly, his senses were always paying attention to the changes around him.

She heard the sound of wheels turning, and then she was carried onto the car board.Her body collided with another sacrificial bride.Not long after, another woman came up beside him.

The girls were forced to huddle together, pushed forward by the trolley.

Ban Xiyu's eyes quietly opened a crack.In this narrow field of vision, they could only see the cart pushing them into the temple.The dark red wall came into view, and immediately, the cart stopped moving.

When she was puzzled, she heard a strange noise.It was the sound of sliding stone slabs that had appeared not long ago.

At the same time, the red wall in front of him also moved slowly.

After the ground shook briefly, the wall receded, replaced by a stone door eight feet high and four feet wide.

It was pitch black inside the stone gate, and it wasn't until the group of people lit the lamps that Ban Xiyu looked around by the faint candlelight.But what she saw was very limited, all she saw was an old, dark and damp wall, and a dark passage leading underground.

The man in black escorting the sacrificial bride didn't speak, and silently pushed the cart down the slope.

About three quarters of an hour later, Ban Xiyu's eyes suddenly brightened.

At this time, the light of the moonlight shone down, and she and the rest of the sacrificial brides had already left the temple and turned to a secluded avenue.The man in black parked the cart under a tall plane tree.

At the end of the road, there are already people waiting there.

The people who came to meet him drove a carriage, and the leader was a young man.When they handed over, Ban Xiyu heard them say:
"This is a new batch of ten sacrificial brides from Zhangjia Village, all of them are here. Take them away quickly, we have to go to Xinghua Village to pick up the next batch of brides."

The responding person gave the man in black a money bag: "Thank you for your hard work, this little silver should be treated as a treat for your brothers to drink."

"Hey, thanks. That's it, here we go."

Afterwards, Ban Xiyu and the group were transferred to a brand new carriage.

The carriage is naturally more comfortable than the cart, but this comfort only lasted for a moment, and not long after, the groom who was pulling the reins flicked the whip and galloped the horse.

Ban Xiyu was unprepared, tilted her body, and hit her head on the board.

She rubbed her aching head and thought to herself, if you go out in the dark, even if you open the curtain, you can't see clearly what's going on outside, what kind of scene is it, it's better to think carefully about the next plan.

Ban Xiyu was lying on her side, protecting her head with her palms. The carriage was bumpy, and her heart was full of turbulent waves.

From the short conversation between the man in black and the respondent, it can be inferred that Zhangjia Village is not the only village that was asked to sacrifice the bride, and there are many victimized women in other villages.

What is certain is that the so-called "mountain god" does not exist, and even the gang in black responsible for taking the bride away is not behind it.

The sacrificial bride has been changed hands many times and moved to many places, and the real mastermind has not yet been revealed.

In other words, the person who is dealing with it now is very likely to be instigated by others.

But what are these people trying to do by abducting so many innocent girls? How was the theory of "mountain god" fabricated?Didn't the government notice anything strange?
She thought in horror that behind these incidents, perhaps a bigger conspiracy was brewing.

Right now, the people behind the scenes have not yet revealed their clues, so it is inappropriate to act at this time, I hope Wen Jisheng will wink and stand still for the time being.After these people settled them down, she would find a way to get in touch with Wen Jisheng.

As for now... Ban Xiyu was worried that something unexpected would happen during the transfer, so she stayed up all night. When it was dawn, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

This evening shift, Xiyu didn't take a break, and was already extremely sleepy.Seeing the carriage stop now, she was relieved.Immediately afterwards, she heard the groom's voice from outside: "Brother Li, don't sleep, Lianzhuang is here."

The man called "Brother Li" woke up in a daze, yawned and stretched, then got off the carriage and knocked on the gate of Lianzhuang.

The man was a little far away from the carriage, and Ban Xiyu couldn't hear what they were talking about. He only knew that not long after, the carriage drove into the villa through the side door.

Not long afterward, several maidservants helped the women on the carriage and sent them to different rooms.The wing room is not very elegant, but it is clean.

When Ban Xiyu was helped into the house, he could smell a faint fragrance floating in the air.

This fragrance seemed to have the effect of calming emotions. After she sniffed it lightly for a while, she felt tired, lazy and sleepy.It's not like an ordinary spice, it's more like incense.But by the time she noticed something strange, it was too late.

Ban Xiyu struggled with the last of his consciousness, and hid the whistle, dagger and other things on his body under the bedding.Not long after that, she fell into a deep sleep.

*
When her consciousness came back, Ban Xiyu woke up suddenly, and heard the loud bangs and bangs from not far away that continued, and the sound of tables, chairs and benches being smashed directly spread to her room.

She glanced at the light-transmitting window and thought, did she sleep until the afternoon, or did she sleep from dawn until dark and then dawn again?

Ban Xiyu opened the door, and the first thing he saw was a square courtyard.In the courtyard there are evergreen trees, unreleased sweet-scented osmanthus, and a few clumps of green grass.

Just as she was about to chase the sound, the woman who was guarding the door stopped her immediately.The woman looked at her coldly with triangular eyes and said, "There is an order from above that girls are not allowed to walk around without permission, please go back to your room."

Ban Xiyu looked back at the past neither humble nor overbearing, and opened his mouth: "Whose order? Do you know that abducting a woman from a good family is a felony? You—"

Without speaking, she paused.

Why can't she make a sound?
Ban Xiyu looked surprised, and subconsciously touched her neck and throat—it didn't hurt, and there was nothing strange on the surface, but why was she speechless?

The mother-in-law took her horrified look into her eyes, smiled ironically, and then pushed her into the room with force: "Until the girls are completely obedient, they can't speak. If the girls don't want to become Dumb, be more obedient these few days, be obedient, and don't make trouble."

After finishing speaking, she slammed the door shut in front of Ban Xiyu, almost locking it from the outside.

Ban Xiyu was shocked and paced back and forth in the room.She tried again in disbelief, but still couldn't make any sound.Just like what the old woman said, the people in this village did not know what method they used to make people unable to speak anymore.

She stopped abruptly and looked at the incense burner in the room.

Different from the situation when I came here, at this moment, the dark fragrance I smelled before falling asleep no longer exists.The room is filled with the aroma of sandalwood that is inherent to the wooden furniture, and as if passing through the wind, there is a faint fragrance of flowers and plants in the air.

Ban Xiyu thought, could it be the effect of the strange fragrance from before?
There was also the weird movement just now, I could only hear someone smashing objects, but no sound was heard. Could it be that the other girls woke up and found the place where they were trapped, and they lost their voices, so they made a big fuss?

She frowned, feeling more and more that there was something wrong with Zhuangzi.

Many questions lingered in Ban Xiyu's mind, and she wanted to find out, but there were guards and mother-in-law guarding both inside and outside the yard, so she couldn't go anywhere.

She can only wait.

But this waited until dark.

Ban Xiyu waited for her mother-in-law to bring her food, but she didn't wait for the conspirators' next move, let alone the chance to find possible clues.

Before going to bed late at night, she was always faintly restless.

Being unable to speak has far less impact than being trapped in this square inch.Those people just left them to dry like this, watching these "sacrificial brides" struggling helplessly, it was as if they were boiling the eagles, taking away their last dignity.

Ban Xiyu could imagine how playful those people were, watching them do useless work with a smile.And they are the fish on the cutting board, just waiting for the sword hanging above their heads to fall.

Because of the emotional turmoil in her heart, she didn't have a good rest all night, and her mind was full of upside-down dreams.

When it was dawn again, the wives finally opened the doors of the girls' rooms in the courtyard.They yelled at them, asking all the women to form a long line and go one after the other to the elegant courtyard in the southwest.

On the way, people have to pass through the garden in the center, and then stop in front of a circular arch after passing through a small bamboo forest.

A group of women stopped in front of the door, and several ferocious women grabbed the young and weak women and pushed them inside.The timid man wept silently.

"Why are you crying, go inside!"

After entering the door, the group was dispersed.Some were sent to the West Wing, some were sent to the East Wing, and some passed through the corridor on one side and turned into the backyard room.

And Ban Xiyu and the woman beside him were sent to the West Wing.

Ban Xiyu hid her face and wiped her tears pretending to be sad, and at the same time quietly looked around——

This is a rather elegant house.Calligraphy and paintings are hung on the high walls, antique porcelain vases are placed in the four corners, light gauze curtains, and the fragrance is wafting.

And in this exquisite house, there is still a stranger.The man was wearing a gorgeous dress, wearing a golden hairpin, and his fair face was even more beautiful.

Everyone found that there was a graceful woman in the house.

The mother-in-law who sent them over said: "From today onwards, Miss Liandie will train you personally, from morning to night, six hours a day.

"If you are sensible, then study hard, if you don't... hmph, then from dark to dawn, until you learn how to please men!"

The mother-in-law scanned the crowd with warning eyes, nodded to Lian Die, and then left the room.

She walked lightly, leaving only the abducted woman full of horror.

The ability to please men?
Isn't that a trick of brothel women?
The human trafficker "Mountain God" abducted them here in order to force them into prostitution and make them become prostitutes?

They are decent girls from a good family. Before they were asked to sacrifice to the "mountain god", they were also good daughters of their parents.
Once you step into the mud, your life is over.

They will become playthings for others to play with, and they will depend on others from then on.They are decorations, beasts, decayed and dirty flowers and willows, but they are not human beings.

It is easy to change from a human to a ghost, but how can it be so simple to change from a ghost to a human?
As long as one day is a prostitute, it will be difficult to escape for a lifetime.

How could they be so at the mercy of others?

Ban Xiyu was also shocked.In broad daylight, how dare this group of people commit such a despicable deed!
Propagating laws and forcing good people to become prostitutes will be punished by beheading after finding out the truth of the cause, and none of the family members will be official slaves.

Knowing the law and breaking the law, what is the backing behind these people, dare to ignore the law?

Ban Xiyu frowned and clenched his sleeves tightly: such a bold, lawless, and merciless person really deserves to be pierced by thousands of arrows and die.

If she is allowed to pull him out...

Suddenly, a woman present rushed out of the door!

There are guards everywhere in the villa, and she rushed out like this recklessly, and was immediately stopped by the guards outside.The guard pulled out the knife with a cold light, and angrily said: "Go back!"

The woman struggled desperately and almost hit the knife edge.Ban Xiyu immediately stepped forward, trying to pull him back—swords have no eyes, those guards are ghosts who help others, how could they be merciful?At that time, it is they themselves who will suffer.

But if he wanted to leave this ghostly place, he had to make a long-term plan.

Ban Xiyu only hated herself for not being able to speak at this moment, otherwise she would definitely persuade others.However, even if she wanted to persuade her at this time, it was too late.

Several guards outside the door saw that the woman refused to go back, so they dragged her out of the house, and pushed Ban Xiyu halfway: "If you don't want to die, get out!"

Ban Xiyu was unable to save her, and could only watch helplessly as the woman was mercilessly dragged away by two guards.

The door was ajar, and it didn't take long before there was the sound of a stick beating outside.All the women were terrified when they heard this, and they were so frightened that they remained motionless.The girl Liandie who was in charge of "training" them sat down on the chair with great interest, resting her chin on her hands, as if watching the show quietly.

After a while, the woman who was taken away was dragged back again.

Appearing in front of everyone again, she was already scarred.There were wounds all over his body, big and small, several bloodstains on his face, and he lost all strength in his limbs.

She fell to the ground dying, as if completely passed out.

Seeing her being brutally beaten, all the women in the room were afraid to speak out.They looked terrified and took a step back.Only Ban Xiyu had sullen eyes.

At this time, Lian Die stood up slowly and said: "Be honest, don't you stop making trouble? If that's the case, then we can start."

She looked around, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, you don't have to be so afraid. Although I am a brothel girl, Lian Zhuang told me to train you, not to send you to the land of fireworks.

"Look at how pitiful you are, I can't hide you. The reason why Lian Zhuang brought you here is actually to dedicate you to a nobleman.

"As for teaching you how to curry favor with men...then naturally it is to curry favor with that nobleman. The nobleman is of great status and great power. If you follow him, you will naturally enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth from now on. This is your blessing. "

Ban Xiyu thought to herself, with such a blessing, why didn't I see you serving that noble man.

Lian Die said again: "Lian Zhuang needs you, even if you are unwilling to obey, the guards here will not kill you easily. You can rest assured."

Her voice is like a tactful oriole, her smile is charming, and her demeanor is full of tenderness: "Now can you calm down and listen carefully to me teaching you the art of intercourse?"
