Chapter 351: Toothcutter

I swear, I have never seen such a big tiger in my life!

It is as tall as me at the shoulder, and its eyes are like copper bells, emitting a faint light in the night.

I am not a zoologist, but I have seen tigers in the zoo, and I know that the largest tiger in existence is the Siberian tiger, but even the Siberian tiger cannot compare with this thing in front of me!

Facing such a thing, my legs are shaking constantly. This is completely a kind of suppression in the food chain.

Old White had already gotten into the car, and didn't notice the huge monster outside at all. Seeing that I was reluctant to get in the car, he rolled down the window and stuck his head out to scold me. Coincidentally, the tiger turned his head back, and our heads almost collided. The tiger was panting, and the fishy wind blew Old White's hair upside down, and his face was shaking. Then the grandson's head shrank back, like a turtle shrinking its head, and then quickly rolled up the car window at lightning speed, as if he didn't notice that I was still outside.

I had already cursed him in my heart, no one was reliable. Brother Yaozi told me that the one who attacked him was a wolf. Xiaozhi said that her companion's name was Dahuang. Huang, sister, a white-browed tiger with hanging eyes was described by you as a Husky. I saw it out of the blue, and I was not afraid of scaring me into a myocardial infarction. I smiled and waved at this brother Dahuang. Without saying a word, I turned around and wanted to open the door and jump into the car.

Unexpectedly, accompanied by a loud "bang", a big claw pressed the door, and the tiger stood up and squeezed me between its two forearms at once, doing a very standard "wall dong". I don't know how I offended this master, but he just refused to let me go. In desperation, I could only look at Xiaozhi for help. As for threatening words, I dared not say more. I carefully observed the mouth of this brother Dahuang. My head is not too big or small, just right for a bite, crisp...

"Dahuang, don't be angry..."

Xiao Zhi finally spoke, and patted the tiger's head with his dirty little hands. The top predator immediately turned into a docile cat, circling around me. I don't know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that the tiger's cold eyes flashed with human emotions. It seemed to warn me not to have any crooked ideas, but it didn't do anything out of the ordinary. The moment I opened the car door, it "whooshed" into the car, pressing the broken bread up and down violently. In Lao Bai's frightened eyes, the tiger pushed the old man Qi and his family of three in the back seat to the front, and most of the car was occupied by him alone.

We couldn't afford to offend this behemoth, so we could only squeeze into the front seats. With Xiao Zhi and Old Man Qi's family of three, nine people squeezed into a seven-seater car, not to mention nine people squeezed into three or four seats. We wished that people would ride on each other. If the window hadn't been opened, we would probably suffocate to death in the car.

Fortunately, the tiger didn't do anything else and lay down in the back and slept soundly after getting on the car.

Wan Niang'er looked back at it frequently, with her eyes flickering. This was a master who was indifferent to everything, but now he was very interested, as if there was a big secret in this tiger.

I was sitting next to her, seeing all this, and couldn't help but lower my voice and ask: "Did you see anything wrong?"

Wan Niang'er didn't respond to me, but smiled and sorted out the hair scattered on her temples. Instead, she looked at Xiao Zhi who was huddled beside me and asked softly: "What is the relationship between this boy and you?"

Boy?

I said in surprise: "This...is not a tiger, but a...boy?"

Wan Niang nodded.

I couldn't help but think of the wolf that attacked us before. The wolf fled in panic after being stabbed by Brother Yaozi and me. Then the old woman next door picked up a roll of wolf skin not far away. Now it seems that these two should be the same thing?

Such a connection makes people think a lot. I secretly touched the Tianguan Blade and was about to ask Xiao Zhi what was going on. As a result, Lao Bai suddenly stepped on the brakes for some reason. With a loud "squeak", the vehicle was temporarily out of control and rushed on the road like a mad bull.

Caught off guard, my head banged against the passenger seat. I covered my sore nose and yelled, "What the hell are you doing? You're driving a perfectly good car, but you're doing stunts for me. Are you going to do a nine-kill super god?"

Lao Bai was also startled. He finally stopped the car, gasped a few times, and got on the road again. However, this time the speed was obviously slower, but he was absent-minded. He kept looking at us through the rearview mirror inside the car. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly asked, "Are you sure it's a boy? Is he alive or dead?"

"Of course I'm sure. Since I saw it with my eyes, I can't be wrong!"

Wan Niang'er said, "He's dead, but he's not violent. He doesn't look like a vengeful ghost. He's very peaceful."

Lao Bai said "Oh" and stopped talking.

I kept looking at my grandson, knowing that Wanniang'er's discovery had made him think about something. I raised my foot and kicked him hard behind the driver's seat, scolding him with a smile: "Don't pretend to be deep. Do you know how funny it is to have a bruised pig head with a thoughtful expression? If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have something to say, fart quickly!!"

"We are running for our lives, can you be serious?"

Lao Bai muttered and fell into silence. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Chi girl, I am beginning to believe you a little now. Tell your uncle the truth, were you and this child named Da Huang kidnapped by human traffickers? He was killed, and you... escaped by luck!"

The sleeping tiger seemed to have heard Lao Bai's words, and its majestic body trembled.

Xiao Zhi seemed to have thought of something very scary, and quietly moved closer to me. His small body kept trembling, and his big eyes blinked. He didn't cry, but it made people feel more distressed.

I know that what Lao Bai said is right. My heart twitched inexplicably, and I let go of the hand that was stroking the Tianguan Blade and held Xiao Zhi in my arms. I don't know if this can give her a sense of security, but... this is the only thing I can do.

"As expected..."

Lao Bai sighed and said softly: "Jingzhe, this time we may have encountered a thief..."

I asked: "Thief? What do you mean? Someone from Wuhuabamen?"

"There is no such animal in Wuhuabamen..."

Lao Bai said in a hoarse voice: "Most people in Wuhuabamen are craftsmen, but they have summed up some strange methods to survive. They may be mean and sometimes hurt people, but at least they are not completely conscienceless. If you don't believe it, go and check it out. This word is a neutral word. Even the daffodil among the five flowers is at most engaged in the flesh trade, which is not a heinous crime.

But this thief is the lowest of the lowest nine. It is not a human, but a beast!"

For some reason, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became depressed and gloomy.

If my master says that a person is extremely evil, whether this person's sins are really unforgivable, I think it needs to be verified. After all, for a Taoist priest who is like a saint, there are too many original sins in the world.

But if Lao Bai says that this person is extremely evil and is a beast, then he must be a beast, because the beast in the eyes of scum must be worse than a beast.

I know Lao Bai very well. Looking at his appearance, I know that he is trapped in the past that he can't bear to look back. At this time, whether I like it or not, he will definitely chatter on. Even, I know with my eyes closed that what I hear next may be an atrocity that destroys my worldview! ! !

In fact, Lao Bai did not talk endlessly, but suddenly asked me with a miserable smile: "Jingzhe, do you know that there were many kinds of human traffickers in the past?"

I understand the ancient etiquette, especially the funeral rites, but I don't know so much about the social rules of the ancient times. I only know that there were official sales and private sales in the past.

"You are ignorant. In the era of hunger and cold, it is normal to sell people like commodities. For example, criminals and prisoners of war are basically sold by the government. There is nothing much to talk about. Today, I will tell you about private sales among the people!"

Lao Bai said while driving: "There are probably three types of private human trafficking among the people. One is called live selling, which is like pawning. When money is tight, the wife will be sold to you for a while, and then redeemed when there is money. The other is called absolute selling, which means that after selling a person to you, they don't want her anymore and will never redeem her again. From then on, this person is yours.

These two types of human trafficking were basically legal in the social environment at that time.

As for the third type, it is called abduction selling, which is to directly abduct and kidnap people from good families and sell them. Even the emperors in the past could not tolerate this kind of trading, because this business is full of resentment and blood, and there are all kinds of dirty things!!"

When talking about this, Lao Bai gnashed his teeth, like an angry young man.

I asked, "So, the thieves are people who kidnap and sell people?"

"Yes, and no..."

Lao Bai said, "The most primitive thieves are actually a group of aliens among the Qigong practitioners in the pre-Qin period. These people believe that humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world, and the essence of heaven and earth is in the human body, so they try every means to capture living people to make elixirs and do some evil magic. I haven't seen them really make any elixirs, but they have cultivated many evil spirits and ghosts. These thieves are cruel and ruthless, even worse than the Japanese devils. Strictly speaking, thieves are people in the Xuanmen.

As for the earliest human traffickers who kidnapped people, they just wanted to make money, and they didn't have so many strange and bizarre means to harm others.

The two were originally unrelated. Later, I don't know how, these human traffickers who kidnapped people learned some of the methods of thieves and did many unscrupulous things.

The most famous one is the cutting of living people!

They kidnapped a healthy child, dug out his eyes and broke his legs to make him disabled, and threw him on the street to beg.

Or, the smart ones buried him, the stupid ones ate him directly, or boiled his bones to make elixirs. Damn, they are not afraid of killing him. Jingzhe, you are also a Taoist. When have you ever heard of this kind of elixir that can save lives? Isn't this the same as blood steamed buns? It's pure ignorance! "

"So... this time we met the most primitive kind of tooth-killer? People who harm living people and use living people to practice evil magic?"

Wan Niang'er suddenly asked: "The Taiping Dao has many evil magics, and there are many ways to harm people to practice evil magic. How can you be sure... that this must be a tooth-killer?"

"Yes, there are many ways to harm people. Didn't the imperial family in the past also know how to harm people?"

Lao Bai sneered: "But only the way of harming people by the brokers has been learned by the traffickers. I have seen some traffickers active in Qiandongnan. They have a way of harming people that is very similar to what we see now!!"

As if some dark past was awakened, Lao Bai told an old story ten years ago.

He has many friends and many connections. We may be his only real friends, but he has many interests.

That year, a man who used to make a living by introducing people came to him because he heard that he knew a very large drama troupe that performed this kind of acrobatics abroad all year round and often recruited some talented people. This man said that he had some good stuff and wanted to sell it. He hoped that Lao Bai could help him, and it would definitely be good.

Lao Bai was greedy, so he asked what good stuff he had?

The man said two words mysteriously-human dog! !

Lao Bai had been in the underworld for many years and had never heard of such a thing. He was curious and went to take a look. Then, it became his lifelong nightmare.

In a dark house in the mountainous area of ​​southeast Guizhou, there was a bloody smell, just like a slaughterhouse. Several men were killing dogs outside the house. From inside the house, there were children crying and screaming. When he walked in, he saw a child of six or seven years old with his limbs stretched out and tied tightly. A man was peeling the skin off the child's body bit by bit...

These animals obviously did not use anesthesia, and just peeled the skin alive. The child was crying and screaming at first, but gradually, he had no strength left, and he collapsed there motionless, with his clear eyes empty and lifeless...

When they finished peeling the skin, a white and clean child looked like a skinned sheep...

Then, they put the dog skin just taken outside the house on the child and sewed it up quickly.

If they are lucky, these children will survive, and from then on, their dog farts will grow together with their flesh and skin, becoming a monster, euphemistically called a human dog.

If they are unlucky, these children will die within a day, and no one knows how they survived the pain.

Lao Bai has inquired about the survival rate, which is less than one in 20. These human traffickers will take out at least a dozen children through various channels every year. God knows how much blood is on their hands, and these abused children have only one use - to satisfy some perverted disgusting curiosity, and go on stage to perform for them.

Wan Niang suddenly looked up and asked, "Did you accept this business at that time?"

"If I accepted it, you would definitely stab me in the back now, right?"

Lao Bai spat viciously out of the car window and gritted his teeth and said, "I have made a lot of money from cheating, but not this kind of money. Grandpa was not short of money in those two years. I turned around and hired people from the escort sect to kill them all. I even chopped off one person's head with my own hands!"

After saying this, he turned back and looked at us coldly, saying, "This method of harming people is what the human traffickers learned from the tooth dealers. What's the matter? Is it similar to what we see now? It's just that the tooth dealers made real monsters. There may be some unknown methods in the middle, but these methods have not been learned by the human traffickers. But no matter what, I'm afraid that the bloody and vicious place is even worse than those human traffickers!!"

I subconsciously looked at Xiao Zhi, who was curled up in my arms like a quail, and asked him with my eyes whether the method used by the sorcerer hiding in the dark to harm Da Huang was extremely similar?

Xiao Zhi tightly grasped one of my fingers with her little hand, as if she thought of those scenes that frightened her, and her face was full of tears, but she finally nodded fiercely...
