The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 78

The slums are also divided into three categories.

First of all, the Imperial Guards could not leave the East District without a transfer order. Secondly, the Imperial Guards did not bother to come to the slums at all.

Therefore, although the east side of the slum is close to the Royal Guards, it is the base camp of the forces in the slum, and basically all the forces are gathered here.

The government control in civilian areas is still relatively strict. In addition, major forces have been in charge before. Although they don't tell the road, don't pick up leftovers, and don't close doors at night, basically there won't be too much commotion.

Therefore, the closer to the civilian area in the west, the more stable it will be.

Especially jobs can be found in civilian areas.

However, this also makes houses closer to urban areas more expensive.

For example, in the middle of the slums, you don't even need to spend money to buy a house. You can just find a place, build a house, or even find a broken eaves and a broken wall to live.

But it is also the dirtiest and messiest place.

Wang Tian's house is in the middle of the slum. This is the worst location in the imperial city and the worst location in the slum.

But there is no way, he is just a little thief, a little thief with average skills and a child.

If you want to live in a civilian area, you must not only have a place to live, but also a stable income.

As a thief with average skills, he can't even afford to rent a house in a civilian area, let alone buy one.

So he could only come to the slums.

But the problem is that when he was in the slums, he could still steal something valuable, but after he came to the slums, unless he crossed the entire slum to come to the slums every day to start, he could only steal in the slums.

How much money can be stolen from someone who can live in a slum?
Trapped in a cycle of poverty, Wang Tian could only take his son to this area, which is also the dirtiest and messiest in the slums, and settled down here.

"Son, wait for me. I will definitely give you a full meal today."

Wang Tian made up his mind.

At the same time, he also carefully observed his surroundings.

There were still people coming out of the slums at this time, but they were all adult men. Some gathered in twos and threes, and some went out alone, but in a hurry.

You have to avoid the crowds of people.

Wang Tian warned himself so.

If it were some time ago, there would still be some order here, or the traffickers would not be so courageous, at least they would not attack adult men.

In recent days, even adults like him have been attacked.

If he was kidnapped by human traffickers to mine mountains and quarry, his son would probably have to starve to death in the house.

But gradually problems emerged.

The people who still dare to go out alone now are either tall and strong, or they are very vigilant and always pay attention to the movements around them. He has no way of making a move.

Even when he encounters more people, he still has to worry that he will be surrounded and abducted by the other party, and he has to go out of his way to avoid them.
Turning around, Wang Tian lost strength.

"What should I do? I definitely can't go back empty-handed."

A drop of sweat dripped from Wang Tian's forehead, and he felt even weaker and more anxious.

For some reason, the hungrier he got, the clearer his mind became.

Countless ideas passed through his mind one by one, but he rejected them all.

"Human traffickers, human traffickers."

Wang Tian muttered a few words in a daze, then suddenly licked his lips, his eyes gradually becoming fierce.

“Human traffickers can kidnap people and sell them for money, so why can’t I?”

Just do what he said, Wang Tian immediately quickened his pace, squeezed out the last strength from his body, and walked in the direction of his memory.

He remembered that there was a prostitute who sold her body to survive.

And that prostitute also has a six or seven-year-old daughter.

If the little girl was kidnapped and sold, perhaps a lot of money could be obtained.

By then, he and his son would be able to hold on for a long time.

"Hey~ Brother Wang, are you here?"

The prostitute noticed Wang Tian who was in a hurry, and her face suddenly showed joy.

She also hasn't opened for three days.

Although there is still some food stored at home, it is not an option to continue like this.

"Well, how's the market going now?"

Wang Tian clenched the dagger in his sleeve and asked nervously.

"Five copper plates, Brother Wang, just give me five copper plates."

The prostitute had a flattering smile on her face.On weekdays, she would pick up at least eight coins, usually ten copper coins.

"Okay, go ahead and close the door."

Wang Tian nodded, holding the dagger in his hand tighter.

"Okay, Brother Wang!"

When she saw that she had finally agreed on a deal, the prostitute swayed her waist and passed by Wang Tian with a happy face, intending to close the door.

"Hmm~!"

Suddenly, a big hand covered her mouth, and she subconsciously tried to struggle, but before she could struggle a few times, she felt a chill in her back, and her whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and she collapsed.

"hu~hu~"

Looking at the dead prostitute, Wang Tian breathed heavily and rested for a few breaths. Then he quickly stepped over the body, closed the door, and began to rummage through the room.

"Squeak~"

The door of the cabinet opened, and a little girl was nestling inside with her eyes closed.

Wang Tian was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to test.

Fortunately, he was still breathing, so he was probably just asleep.

While the little girl was still sleeping, Wang Tian tied her up neatly, then found a piece of cloth in the room and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth to seal it.

Cloth gags are also particular. You must press your tongue under the cloth and fill it as much as possible so that it will not be spit out easily.

The little girl finally woke up at this time. After looking around blankly, she noticed her current situation and her mother lying in a pool of blood.

"Woooooo!!"

As the little girl whimpered, Wang Tian continued to search the house.

In the end, he found one tael of silver and more than 100 copper plates.

"You actually have so much money?!"

Wang Tian's eyes almost popped out.

It has been a long time since he received any silver.

A few taels of silver can be saved, but it can last for two or three months.

If it is more extreme, it is not impossible to use it for half a year or even longer.

"It's gone."

Wang Tian swallowed, put the silver and copper coins into his pocket, took the two kilograms of corn he had just dug out, and hurried outside with the little girl on his shoulders.

Although he already has money and rice now, he has kidnapped this little girl, so he can't waste it, right?

Along the way, someone also noticed him.

However, when others took a quick look, they knew that Wang Tian must be a human trafficker, so they didn't want to cause trouble and just pretended not to see him.

After all, no one knows if there is anyone behind the trafficker in front of him.

"It's actually so smooth?!"

Looking at the traffickers' base camp so close to him, Wang Tian felt his heart pounding.

He took a short rest, hid the two kilograms of corn in his hand, then carried the fainted little girl on his shoulders and walked firmly into the traffickers' base camp.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Wang Tian subconsciously touched the pocket containing the money and walked out of the trafficker's yard in a daze.

He didn't expect that this legendary human trafficker was actually like ordinary people, he didn't talk noisily, and he didn't write ink.

After the other party roughly inspected the little girl, he gave him three taels of silver.

Although it was only three liang, not as high as he imagined, the opponent was straightforward and without coercion or inducement. This was already a very good situation.

And the other party also told him that he can come at any time when the goods are available.

After digging out the two kilograms of corn he had just hidden and hiding them in his arms, Wang Tian still felt a little unreal.

This job brings in money so quickly, why not just focus on this from now on?
Wang Tian smiled stupidly and walked along the way home.

But as he walked, he subconsciously stopped and took some time off.

He didn't know why, but he felt very uncomfortable, as if something was about to happen.

"Is something wrong with my son?"

Wang Tian was taken aback and quickly quickened his pace, rushing towards home.

Two and a half hours later, Wang Tian stared blankly at the door lock that had been pried open, and the corn in his hand fell to the ground with a "clack".

"No! Son! My son!!!"
