A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 5 Harvesting and Cutting
Lin Yao easily sneaked in with his agility.Through investigation, it was discovered that this time there was a stronghold of human traffickers. The people inside were tortured, especially the cruel harvesting and harvesting practices.

The term "picking and cutting" first came from ancient witchcraft: "Sacrifice humans to ghosts to seek fame and fortune from ghosts."

"Yuan Dian Zhang" records: "Every time the natives encounter a leap year, they gather evil fools, lurk in the grass, take strangers, and kill them unreasonably. They paint evil ghosts and buy shamans and witches to compete in sacrifices, which is called Caisheng."

The so-called "picking" actually means to search and find, and "raw" refers to materials. In the method of "picking raw materials, cutting and cutting", most of them refer to young children.

"Dismemberment" is like Frankenstein's artificial monster in modern movies and TV dramas, deforming the human body or combining it with other people or animals.

"Lan Fang's Notes" has this situation: In the past, in the capital, every time I saw people making money with weird people... all kinds of strange things... A woman in the city bridge in Zhenze City, fifteen years old, beautiful but without feet, knelt down to beg. money.

"Qing Bai Lei Chao" also records: "There was a beggar in Huqiu, Suzhou who took a bear out on the street. He couldn't speak but could write and recite poems. For a time, countless onlookers gave money to watch."

This may seem like a magical scene, but the production process was extremely cruel.

I heard that there were five deformed beggars in Yangzhou City: one man's upper body was like a normal person, but his legs were soft. If there were muscles and no bones, someone would hold his upper body and spin it like a noose.A woman has slender feet, high breasts, and a beard like a halberd under her chin.So many people watched.

In fact, during the feudal society, this kind of "picking and cutting people" happened from time to time. In response to this situation, the court also issued severe punishments: "Anyone who picks and cuts people will be executed without delay, and their property will be cut off and paid to the deceased." Home. Although his wife, son and family members did not know about it, they fled two thousand miles away and were resettled. They were killed by those who followed him."

But no matter how harsh the punishment is, it cannot stop the eyes of greedy people who are blinded by interests. Some people will still risk their lives to make money. Even in modern times, there is a modern version of "harvesting and cutting."

In the past, Lin Yao was helpless when he saw these tragic situations. Now that he has this power far beyond ordinary people, he should put his will into action.

Moreover, these people's previous peek at Xiao Daiyu also encountered Lin Yao's reverse scale, and they must nip any danger in the bud.

Lin Yao took out the Tang Dao from the storage space, lurked closer, took a step, came to the left side of the two men standing in front of the courtyard door, and slashed one of them in the throat.

Then he turned around and kicked off the other man's arm. With a click, his entire shoulder joint had been dislocated and broken. Only then did the screams resound throughout the yard.

Hearing the screams coming from the door, the courtyard became noisy. People inside rushed out holding torches, and the light from the sky and the earth illuminated the door of the courtyard.

Lin Yao stood there quietly, really calm and revealing an amazing momentum.

Black and vertical hair, slanting handsome eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, sharp outlines, and a tall and slender but not rough figure.

In order to completely annihilate them and eradicate them, Lin Yao temporarily stopped his actions and waited for the thieves to gather.

At this time, a figure who looked like a fierce leader was also shocked when he saw Lin Yao killing two people in a short time.

But upon closer inspection, I found that although Lin Yao was alone, going up to challenge him directly was simply courting death.

"Fuck them all." He quickly stepped back, but unfortunately he was a step too late.

Lin Yao had already stared at him. With one arrow step and a lightning-quick kick, the leader's tall body flew straight out, and a perfect vicious dog pounced on his food and landed on the ground.

His entire face came into close contact with the ground, causing the skin to burst open and blood to flow.

Lin Yao took a big step forward and swung the long knife dexterously. His extraordinary power caused the ferocious-looking thieves surrounding him to fly straight out, knocking down several people in a row and interrupting their various shouts. The scene was quiet for a moment, with only a few groans.

Without giving them a chance to react, Lin Yao rushed into the crowd very quickly. When everyone swung their swords, he dodged and pulled one of them to the position where he was standing just now. The swords of everyone hit him hard. On his head, blood immediately splattered.

But the long knife of one of them returned to Lin Yao's hands at some point.

Lin Yao took the confiscated long knife and weighed it in his hand, flicked his wrist, and then flicked the long knife out of his hand, turning into a stream of light and hitting a big man with a leopard head and ringed eyes who was about to escape. thigh.The bright red blood seeped out from the flesh and quickly stained the clothes inside, while the big man's screams echoed throughout the courtyard.

Seeing that the women who looked like "Aunt Mei" were left in the end, Lin Yao rose into the air, spun around in the air, and waved out a shadow of a knife. Finally, when the screams stopped, he finished his mission of eradicating evil.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Yao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but this was just a manifestation of the restraining power of modern civilization.

But after all, the hunting instinct that had existed for tens of thousands of years in ancient times was engraved in his genes. This instinct allowed Lin Yao to quickly adapt to this rather bloody scene.

After taking a short rest, Lin Yao was about to rescue the poor people. He sensed the special place in the yard and was shocked by the situation inside after opening it.

I saw that there were many people crammed into the not-so-large space.

There were men, women, and children among them, mostly children... but there were no old people in sight.

Most of them have yellow and thin faces, their eyes are cloudy and dull, and there is no trace of life on their numb faces, as if they have been tortured.

Judging from their appearance, their mental states are different, and they may have been trafficked one after another.

There is no doubt that most of these people are one of the strongholds of the trafficked people in this area, but they happened to be picked up by Lin Yao before they were transported out.

It's a pity that the people in other links could not be completely eliminated.

After understanding the situation inside, Lin Yao immediately prioritized solving the difficulties of these trafficked persons.

It happened that the storage space contained supplies for the next journey. After transferring the poor people inside in batches, he distributed sufficient food to those people.

Maybe it was too long since they had eaten normal food. When those rescued people were assigned to Lin Yao's carefully prepared food reserve for the journey.

Some of the first people who came back to their senses carefully held the spoons, scooped up the food and stuffed it into their mouths. Tears choked up in their eyes for a while.

"Thank you...thank you so much, I really don't know how to thank you."

Looking at the benefactor who rescued them from the traffickers and gave them food, the people in ragged clothes were talking incoherently, and they almost wished they could kowtow to the benefactor in front of them on the ground.

Lin Yao quickly supported them, "You're welcome, this is just a piece of cake for me."

"You are a small effort, but it is a life-saving grace for us!"

One of the rescued said emotionally.

"On the second day after rest, remember to report to the police and then go back to your respective homes. You don't need to be afraid. I have killed all the thieves."

With that said, Lin Yao dodged and left here without further entanglement with them.

There is also a slightly vague aura mark in the distance near Yangzhou City. I was confused by this large area before and subconsciously ignored it.
