mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 144

Although this matter may only be related to human trafficking, Zhao Chuanxin went to some brothels to do a general investigation.

He found that in Shanghai alone, thousands of women were either forced or voluntarily trafficked here.

There are many people who only know that they have been sold, thinking that they will work as servants in rich people's homes, but they don't know that many will be transported to Chinatowns around the world to be prostitutes.

Zhao Chuanxin has been following a group of people for a few days.

This group of people specially took the Yangtze River route and bought and sold women through the Yangtze River waterway.Not only will it be shipped to Shanghai for sale, but some of them have even been "packed" on board.

Zhao Chuanxin boarded a boat, ready to see where they were going.

As a result, after walking for two days, I felt something was wrong only when I was far away from the coastline.

This is not a domestic line, this is going abroad...

In a narrow cabin on the ship, more than 20 women, the youngest of whom are only eight years old, are crowded here.

It was damp, dark, and cold here, their faces turned blue from the cold, and they couldn't stretch their arms and legs.

Zhao Chuanxin found here on the third day, killed the guard guarding the cabin door and threw it into the sea.

After opening the door, he smelled an unpleasant smell.

Entering with a lantern, a group of women, big and small, looked at him in horror with their big foreheads exposed.

"Don't be afraid, I am Chinese."

As a result, they were even more afraid.

It was the Chinese who made them fall to this point.

Zhao Chuanxin had no choice but to continue to say: "I am not with them. I brought you some canned food and daily necessities. Here is some water for you to share and the rest for washing. There are also bedding here. You give Cover it yourself. Persevere, and when we get to the place, I will help you out of the sea of ​​suffering. I can only say so much, I can’t be discovered by them, I will go first, and I will come to see you later.”

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin is also hiding in Tibet.

The eight-year-old girl said timidly, "Brother, where are we going to be sent?"

Looking at the little girl, Zhao Chuanxin felt a little worried.

His throat surged: "It should be to the United States. Don't be afraid, I will take you home."

The little girl continued: "Brother, they will beat people, I'm afraid they will beat me to death."

Zhao Chuanxin tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "Don't be afraid, whoever hits you, I will throw him into the sea and replace him. They won't die until no one dares to hit you. I will stay nearby . If you are beaten, you call, and I will come when I hear it.”

There were too many people on board, and he couldn't control it, otherwise he would directly attack and make the opponent change course.

Unless he kills everyone, but he won't sail the boat either.

Sure enough, when Zhao Chuanxin left, an unshaven Yankee came over with a bearded wine bottle and cursed: "Where did Jack die? God curse you, damn it, this group of pigs are not Do you know if you are dead..."

With that said, he opened the cabin.

"You, come here, where are the guards outside?"

A woman trembled and could not understand what he said.

The man got impatient and slapped him across the face: "Damn Chinese, you pigs..."

In the middle of speaking, his neck was suddenly strangled.

Through the light outside, these women saw Zhao Chuanxin's smiling face.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled at them, then took out the elf carving knife and poked it into the Yankee's temple.

Then, the index finger stood up: "Shh..."

After that, he dragged the man back slowly, and the cabin door was closed.

"He really helped us!"

"Woo... I thought there was no way out, but God has eyes!"

"Sister, don't cry, brother promises to take us home."

Not long after, Zhao Chuanxin came back again.

He added some supplies to the girls, and took away the stinking dirty bucket.

The ship lost two crew members in a row, and naturally someone noticed something was wrong.

Someone came to the cabin again and opened the door. The person who came this time could speak some Chinese: "Your guard, Jack, it's just that short and fat man, where did he go?"

The girls looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to answer.

The eight-year-old girl said with sparkling eyes: "He got into a fight with another man with a big belly, and then disappeared."

The visitor frowned, seeing that the girl was still very young, she shouldn't be able to lie, so she closed the hatch and left.

After a while, he came back again and asked, "No, where did you get those cans and quilts?"

At this moment, all the women began to tremble.

The little girl said again: "It was sent by a man."

"who is it?"

Shaking her head, the girl said, "I don't know!"

The man looked at the women and glared at them: "You better be honest, I will keep an eye on you."

After searching all over the ship, the two people just disappeared out of thin air.

Someone came to stare at the cabin door again, but did not beat or scold the girls.

This man is very young, has no beard, wears a sailor hat, and even has some pity for the girls.

So, there was nothing wrong with him.

During this trip, Zhao Chuanxin was a little annoyed.

He was hiding like a mouse, watching a group of American men and women having various entertainments on the deck, running, boxing, dancing...

If he wants to eat hot pot and barbecue, he can't do it. If he wants to eat steak, he has to go to the back kitchen to steal it that's already cold.

There were vacancies in the first class cabin, so he picked one and only went to sleep at night.

After nearly a month in this way, the ship finally docked on the west coast.

Zhao Chuanxin was the first to go outside the cabin, and put a gun to the head of the American boy who was guarding: "Seeing that you are not a beast, and you can be called a human, I will spare your life. I will tie you up, don't scream, and you will die if you scream. "

Then, the women on the opposite side waved: "Come out, I will take you away."

A group of women came out in a single file, and their legs and feet were all useless after they "dwell" here for a long time.

Zhao Chuanxin frowned and said, "Quick, move your hands and feet, hurry to the stern, we are going to jump into the sea."

There was a small lifesaving sampan on board, and Zhao Chuanxin put it into the water.

On the other side of the ship, passengers are queuing up to disembark in an orderly manner.

There was not much time left for him.

All the girls were a little scared and didn't dare to jump down.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, you'll be discovered later."

The little girl was the bravest and jumped directly.

Simply, Zhao Chuanxin started to push one by one from behind, and they all fell into the sea with a plop.

He also jumped down.These women are basically landlubbers and cannot swim.

But with Zhao Chuanxin in the wave, it's hard for them to die.

Help them onto the sampan one by one, and push them to swim far away under the water.

After leaving the range of the port, it slowly rowed towards the shore.

When they got ashore, a group of women looked completely helpless and terrified, and all looked at Zhao Chuanxin—this was their only support.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his binoculars and looked towards the port from a distance.

"Grass, come to San Francisco!"

This is really in line with the poem: Killing a person in ten steps does not stop a thousand miles away.

Straight to the West Coast of the United States!
