Chapter 16 Who are you? Do you want money or your life?
Tong Yuheng quickly traversed the tunnel, which was about two kilometers long, and arrived at the exit.
The exit was blocked from the front by a small wooden door. She pushed it open with force and, by the dim moonlight, she could see that this was actually a cemetery!
This cemetery is located in a grove of trees, with more than a dozen graves of varying sizes, and it should be the cemetery of a family.
After Tong Yuheng pushed aside the wooden plank and came out, he found that the mound hiding the cave entrance had been reduced by half from a round earthen mound. All he needed to do was close the wooden door and pile up the earth again to hide it once more.
What a clever design! Who would pay attention to someone else's grave?
She closed the small wooden door, which was only two feet square, and looked at the village in front of her. The cemetery was on a slope, only two or three miles away from the village, and the thirty or forty households in the village were clearly visible.
Her consciousness was monitoring the situation outside, so she naturally knew the location of that family. She quietly sneaked back into the courtyard and, outside the still-lit candlelight, tried to find out what was happening to the family inside!
"We've gathered a batch today. Contact them as soon as possible and send them out! Don't do anything again before the New Year; the police are cracking down hard!" a woman's voice said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Sister Yun. You're really amazing, Sister Yun. You got three great deals in one day! That big one is really beautiful! Hehehe!" A man's lewd voice was full of flattery.
"Dog, you're not allowed to touch them, or they'll be worthless!" another male voice sternly reprimanded.
"I know, I know, I won't touch them, Da Ming, don't worry!" the man called Gouzi replied; he was the one who rode the tricycle that afternoon.
The other person called Da Ming was someone Tong Yuheng had never seen before, while the one called Sister Yun was the woman who had tricked her that afternoon. Judging from Gouzi's words, the old lady who had deceived Linglong was probably this woman in disguise.
There was another person in the room, a thin woman in her early twenties who looked sickly, but her eyes gleamed with a fierce light.
This is probably the so-called "daughter" of Sister Yun and Gouzi, who are pretending to be a married couple. It seems she's not a kind person either!
"I'll go contact them tomorrow, but everyone in the village is afraid of catching my tuberculosis, so no one goes near me. Sister Yun, this batch of goods is so good, can you raise the price? Let's make some money and leave as soon as possible, and go somewhere else!" the sick woman said.
"What's wrong, Xinghua? Are you scared?" Daming put his hand on her shoulder, squeezed it, and said threateningly, "Don't scare yourself. We've been to so many places and nothing's happened, what are you afraid of!"
"It's not that I'm afraid of anything, but this is Yancheng after all. Under the emperor's nose, we should be careful." Xinghua still felt uneasy.
"Xinghua is right. This time we'll charge 1,500 each, but twins are rare, so we'll charge 2,000! Once we've done this job, we'll leave!"
Sister Yun seems to be the leader of this group; she arranges all the operations. The guy named Da Ming is the gang's armed support; Tong Yuheng suspects he has a gun.
Sigh, never mind who they contacted, getting them out of here is the priority!
For now, it seems this gang only has four people, and we don't know how strong they are, but Tong Yuheng won't let anything happen to his sisters.
To prevent future troubles, these people absolutely cannot be let go!
After chatting for a while, the man named Da Ming got up and left quietly, heading towards another house in the village.
He was actually a resident of this village! Tong Yuheng followed him from a distance and saw him enter a mud-brick house in a courtyard not far away and lie down on the bed to rest.
Okay! Then I'll start with you!
Tong Yuheng took out a headscarf from her spatial storage, covered her face, and gently pushed open the door to enter. The man on the bed, named Da Ming, was very alert. Upon noticing someone, he immediately sat up and pulled a dagger from under his pillow.
"Who!" she asked as she thrust the dagger forward, showing no mercy.
Tong Yuheng didn't answer. He dodged the attack, pulled out a stick more than two feet long from his spatial storage, and struck the back of the man's head with it!
She had no intention of letting this person live! With a "thud," the man fell to the ground. The dagger was also thrown quite a distance.
Tong Yuheng checked his neck and found a faint pulse; he was just knocked unconscious, not dead! She tied him up and put him into her spatial storage!
She's been experimenting with mice these past few days. If a living creature that's in a coma enters, it will remain in a coma, while a lively mouse will remain lively and energetic once it enters the space.
So when she threw this person into the space, she wasn't worried that he would wake up and discover her secret.
Having dealt with one of them, Tong Yuheng wasn't in a hurry to go back. Instead, he lit a candle and carefully searched the room. The kitchen was very simple, and there wasn't much food stored in the cupboards.
There was a cabinet in that room. She searched it and found a few tattered clothes and a few dozen yuan, but nothing else.
It seems this is just a temporary residence, but how did they manage to build such a large basement and tunnel under that house?
Tong Yuheng couldn't understand it, so she turned around and went back to the courtyard of the family of three. To her surprise, the nominally married couple, Sister Yun and Gouzi, did not live together. Instead, Gouzi and Xinghua slept in the same bed!
I have no idea what their relationship is, it's really mind-blowing!
Dog and Xinghua weren't as perceptive as Daming. They were preparing to do some "aerobic exercise" when Tong Yuheng struck them with both palms, knocking them unconscious with a single chop to the neck, and then stored them in his spatial storage!
Only Sister Yun was left. Tong Yuheng wanted to do the same, but as soon as she entered the room, the woman pointed a dark gun at her!
"Who are you? Do you want money or your life?" Sister Yun asked coldly.
"Naturally, it's for wealth..." Tong Yuheng replied in a low voice.
"You blind bastard, die!" Sister Yun pulled the trigger at her!
Holy crap! She actually dared to fire! Tong Yuheng was fast enough to swing his right arm and deflect Sister Yun's gun-wielding hand. With a clear "whoosh," a bullet was embedded in the wall. This gun was even silenced.
Tong Yuheng would not give her a second chance to fire a shot. He grabbed her gun-wielding hand with his left hand, and the stick appeared out of thin air in his right hand again, shattering her arm bone!
"Clatter!" The pistol fell to the ground.
"Ah!" Sister Yun exclaimed in surprise.
"You're the one who should die!" Tong Yuheng stunned her with a blow from his stick.
"Heh, their fighting skills aren't that great!" Tong Yuheng muttered to himself, but then he thought that since they were just human traffickers, it was understandable.
She didn't search the area; she wanted to get the girls out as soon as possible and let Uncle Gu and the others investigate. She also wouldn't let these people stay in the space; that underground cage was perfect for them.
Tong Yuheng reappeared in the basement, and Yuling and Yulong quickly gathered around, asking, "Big sister, can we go out now?"
