At the beginning of the new year, people in the Eastern cultural circle are immersed in the atmosphere of celebrating the festival. Even if the warlords have temporarily stopped their disputes, there are still some people who are not resting.
In a dark and depressing warehouse.
Due to the New Year, the food was improved. There were two salt-baked chicken legs in a stainless steel bowl on the floor, but they were still intact after 24 hours.
"How long has it been? Don't be too picky. I applied for these chicken legs with great difficulty from my cousin."
After a severe reprimand, I tried to defect to Burma. Cai Jian, who has changed his destiny, has indeed corrected his attitude a lot. He no longer indulges in fireworks and willow alley, and works hard during the New Year, which can be said to be conscientious.
He kicked the stainless steel bowl. The bowl tilted and the salt-baked chicken legs inside fell out and were immediately covered with dirt.
People are fragile but not fragile. If you don't eat in a short period of time, you won't starve to death, but you will be weak. If you add in the physical and mental torture, it will be worse.
The condition of Xia Chuchen, who was chained like an animal, was getting worse day by day. He was like a balloon with a hole in it. His vitality was quietly draining away every second. He sat slumped in the corner, leaning against the wall, like a shriveled body.
Cai Jian knelt down and picked up the dirty chicken drumsticks that fell out of the bowl with two fingers in disgust. He propped up his knees with one elbow.
"I know what you are thinking. Chuchen, I still understand you. Although you don't have much ability, I have to admit that you are more filial than me. You don't eat or drink because you want to survive. You’re starving to death, and you don’t want to bring trouble to your family, right?”
Cai Jian grinned, "I'm telling you, you are naive again. Now your life is no longer your own. If you don't want to suffer, it's best to cooperate."
No one responded.
It's like talking to a corpse.
"Chuchen, for the sake of our past relationship, you'd better listen to me. There are many people here like you who want to die. But it's not that easy. Even if you don't eat or drink, There are many ways to keep you alive, but the methods will be cruel and make your life worse than death."
"We are brothers, and I don't want to see you suffer."
He said. , Cai Jian blew on the chicken drumstick in his hand, but it obviously had no effect on the ash on the drumstick.
"Stop being brave, it's time to eat and drink, it's good for you and me."
It was still quiet.
Cai Jian, who was talking to himself like a fool, looked ashamed and annoyed, and couldn't bear it.
"Pretend to be dead, right? Who the hell said you want to kill me for revenge? Are you bragging? Oh, you don't plan to die and become a ghost and come to me for revenge, do you?"
finally.
The corpse-like Xia Chuchen slowly opened his eyes. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he had just reached the threshold of adulthood. It was the best years of his life, but at this time he was tortured to the point where he was no longer human. , eyes lifeless.
"If you really still miss our past relationship, give me a break."
"Ha."
Cai Jian sneered exaggeratedly, "I'll just say But, I understand you. You really didn’t surprise me at all.”
“You want to die, kneel down and beg me.”
Xia Chuchen didn’t move.
"What? You don't even have the strength to kneel down?"
Cai Jian taunted crazily, and then suddenly smashed the chicken leg in his hand, "What a fucking waste!"
Xia Chuchen watched helplessly as the chicken legs flew towards her and hit her face. She had no strength or thoughts to dodge.
Cai Jian seemed to have no way to gain pleasure from him, so he stopped wasting time and stood up, condescendingly taking out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket.
"You want to die, right? I can satisfy you, but first, you have to agree to my request."
"Call your home and ask your parents to get another five hundred thousand Come out, as long as the money arrives, I will help you end your pain. Remember to have a good pregnancy in the next life."
Cai Jian threw the phone and threw it on the ground. , glided under Xia Chuchen,
Thanks to the fact that it was an antique machine, it only had communication functions and was resistant to falling.
Man is a product of his environment.
Regardless of whether his hands are black or not, whether he really dares to kill someone, at least Cai Jian's mouth is indeed becoming more and more vicious.
“Dream.”
Xia Chuchen’s aura was almost invisible, but Cai Jian could still understand his expression through his mouth shape.
"Xia, don't be so shameless. Do you think you can save your parents without calling? I'm telling you, don't dream anymore. There are plenty of ways to make your parents pay and let you call." The phone call is just to save you and me some effort. If you are ignorant and unwilling to cooperate, it will be too late to regret it later..."
"How about it"
Cai Jian, whose eloquence had indeed been trained and improved significantly, was startled. He quickly turned his head and saw a shadow walking into the warehouse.
“Uncle.”
He immediately shouted cautiously.
"What did this kid say? Should I fight him?"
The man nicknamed Ground Snake approached and asked.
“I’m still chatting with him.”
Cai Jian was nervous and embarrassed.
“I gave you such a long time, from last year to this year.”
The man said simply, which immediately made Cai Jian nervous.
It’s only been a year, how long, but Cai Jian certainly didn’t dare to argue, “Uncle, you’ll be fine soon.”
“Stop wasting time, you can’t even think about coming from my house again. I got a penny out of it.”
The dry and hoarse voice caught the eyes of the uncle and nephew.
Although he became more and more cruel towards Xia Chuchen, in front of his cousin, Cai Jian was still the same boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Uncle, leave it to me and I will promise to complete the task."
He said hurriedly, fearing that his uncle would get angry and punish him for failure in his work.
It was easy at first, but once or twice, they were not stupid. They did not ensure the safety of their son and were unwilling to pay any more ransom, so they wanted Xia Chuchen to come forward, but now they have undoubtedly encountered a bottleneck.
Zou Snake, who had committed countless crimes, glanced at Cai Jian. Cai Jian was so frightened that he even broke out in cold sweat on his back.
This is completely different from the normal concept of a nephew being afraid of his uncle.
Under ordinary circumstances, the uncle would be strict at best, or give a few lessons, which is totally incomparable.
Cai Jian doesn’t want to become a commodity for his cousin to sell for money.
“Sometimes, no matter how much you talk, it’s better to take action.”
Cai Jian still has prejudice in his heart. No matter how cruel a person is, he still cares about family affection.
The Earthly Snake did not get angry because of Cai Jian's low work efficiency. Instead, he seemed to take this opportunity to change from theoretical guidance to practical education.
"Rubbing."
He took out the boning knife he carried with him from his clothes. The sudden burst of cold light stimulated Cai Jian to close his eyes involuntarily, his whole body tensed, and his heart and liver trembled violently.
"Uncle, if you kill him, you won't be able to defraud money..."
After a moment, he suppressed his fear and tried to dissuade his cousin who drew the knife.
The progress has indeed been great, and I have gradually learned to think about problems from the perspective of interests.
If he used other reasons to stop him, the snake would probably get angry. The most taboo thing in this industry is to be soft-hearted. Fortunately, Cai Jian's performance was pretty good.
For newcomers, the requirements should not be too harsh. They all need time to grow.
"I didn't say I was going to kill him. Remember, dead people are the least valuable."
Ground Snake seemed to want to teach his nephew a good practical lesson. After saying that, The other hand that was not holding the knife took out the mobile phone from his pocket, brought up the video recording interface, and handed it over.
Cai Jian was in a daze.
“Take it.”
“Oh.” Only then did Cai Jian react and hurriedly took the phone.
"Record it. Don't shoot my face."
After explaining, he walked like a snake.
Cai Jian swallowed hard, suppressed his trembling mood, pressed the record button, and then picked up the phone. He couldn't hold it with one hand, so he held it with both hands. The camera kept shaking slightly.
Fortunately, it is recording video, not taking photos, so the impact is not big.
The Earthly Snake was definitely not on the same level as Cai Jian. With a bang, it kicked over all the bowls and water on the ground and stopped in front of Xia Chuchen.
Xia Chuchen must have seen the knife he was carrying, maybe because he was too weak and had no strength to raise his head. Cai Jian looked at the video on the phone screen, feeling his mouth dry and his heart pounding.
Thinking and doing are two different things.
Hearing and witnessing are two different things.
"Boy, be patient, let me borrow something you have on you."
Zou Snake fully demonstrated the qualities that should be expected in this industry. Without any more nonsense, he crouched down. , grabbed Xia Chuchen's limp hand.
The iron chains clang.
The walking snake did not blink, with a stern expression. He held Xia Chuchen in one hand and held a knife high in the other hand.
"Shua..."
The knife rose and fell.
Just be decisive.
No trace of sloppiness.
Cai Jian, who was in charge of shooting the video, looked at the bloody scene, a chill ran down his spine, and he held his breath involuntarily.
Xia Chuchen's face turned red, her eyelids were cracked, and her eyes were bloodshot. As if she was enduring great pain, her whole body seemed to have regained some vitality, but she still didn't make a sound.
"Crack."
His shocking hand was released, and then fell under the influence of gravity. The finger joints were bloody and shocking.
Before this, a little finger had already separated from the palm and fell to the ground.
The ground snake held up its thighs and wiped the blood spattered on its face, then stretched out its hand and picked up the severed finger.
"Put it up."
He stood up and threw it to Cai Jian.
But Cai Jian, who was so frightened, how could he dare to pick it up? He was even helpless and instinctively avoided it.
The severed finger flew over and fell to the ground again.
The snake looked at him without saying a word.
“I, I will pick it up.”
It was the first time that Cai Jian Liu Shen Wuzhu, who saw what evil was with his own eyes, was forced to turn around and pick up the severed finger, especially when he saw it at a very close distance When I saw the bloody fingers, my heart jumped out of my throat and my scalp was numb.
But because there were snakes watching behind him, he still successfully completed the task. He held the mobile phone in one hand, and pinched other people's fingers more carefully than pinching the drumstick with the other hand, slowly. Turning around, he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
“Are you done filming?”
Zou Snake asked, the knife in his hand still dripping blood.
"Okay, okay."
Without even looking at Xia Chuchen on the ground, the snake took out a pack of tissues and wiped the knife casually, as if he had a lot of experience.
It was at this moment that Cai Jian, who came to Myanmar to work hard, realized what kind of world he had joined.
The severed finger still retained body temperature, and at the same time, he felt the moisture of the liquid.
Look closely.
That is the blood of classmates, friends, and brothers.
In addition to fear and palpitations, for some reason, a morbid excitement emerged spontaneously like a seed breaking through the soil.
After wiping it clean, the snake threw away the tissue, put away the knife, and walked over.
Cai Jian quickly returned the phone.
After checking the video, the walking snake nodded with satisfaction, as if he didn't notice the camera shake, and praised: "It was a good shot."
Cai Jian smiled stiffly.
"How do you feel?"
Cai Jian stumbled, hemmed and hawed, and finally answered honestly and dishonestly: "A little nervous."
Zou Snake The corner of his mouth twitched, "The first time, I was just like you. You always have to go through it, just get used to it."
He patted Cai Jian on the shoulder.
In such a long time, this should be the most affectionate time for his cousin.
"Uncle, what should I do with this finger...?"
"Pretend for now. If you think the video is not exciting enough, you can send the finger to his parents to watch."
Cai Jian was as silent as a cicada.
“Just give him a wrap and give him a breath, as long as he doesn’t die. A corpse will depreciate a lot compared to a living body.”
Cai Jian was sweating profusely and speechless, so he could only nod his head.
It is true that one fish eats two.
In the eyes of some people, people are really not human, and may not be as good as livestock.
Practical practice is always more educational and easier to inspire than theory, leading to faster progress.
Cai Jian left the warehouse with Zou Snake. When he left, he wanted to turn back, but he didn't, leaving behind Xia Chuchen who had passed out.
No.
It cannot be said to be abandoned.
To bandage and stop the bleeding, you have to get the materials.
The severed finger would definitely not be held in the hand in a big way, so Cai Jian put it in his pocket.
“After finishing this order, let’s change places.”
Cai Jian, who was thinking wildly, answered subconsciously, "Where are you going?"
"Don't you like girls? I'll take you to South Vietnam first. Don't sue me when the time comes and say that I, your uncle, have treated you badly."< br>
Hearing the woman, Cai Jian was instantly refreshed, and his chaotic mind was washed away.
"Uncle, you are so kind to me!"
"As long as you are willing to work hard, money and women are indispensable. In the future, you will find out how wonderful this world is."< br>
Being afraid, fear, is human nature.
Greed is also human nature.
It’s just a difference in proportion.
People are the carrier of this scale.
And this moment.
The obsession and longing for desire undoubtedly completely concealed Cai Jian's inner cowardice and the most primitive respect for life.
"Uncle, I will definitely follow you and work hard!"
His demeanor was like taking an oath under the red flag when he joined the Young Pioneers a long time ago.
Veterans are indeed different.
He led the newlyweds through the door easily. As the uncle and nephew were walking and chatting, with more and more common topics, a shout suddenly rang out.
“Cai Jian.”
Cai Jian subconsciously turned his head and looked around curiously.
How come anyone here knows him?
After all, the time was too short and he lacked experience. Zou Snake's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately reached out to take out the knife, because in the factory area, the real guy didn't have it with him.
He didn’t bring it, but someone else did.
"Hold your head with your hands, kneel down, and don't move."
Several stern men surrounded him from the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Cai Jian, who had just been led onto a broad road but suddenly had no way to escape, was confused. (End of this chapter)
