Chapter 658: Brother Hao's Past
Li Moer's mind swept towards the fifth room, but to his disappointment, there were only some food, pots and pans, and a wooden bed in this room.
There was also an iron stove and some firewood in the corner of the room. Li Moer curled her lips. She thought that if she lit the stove here, she wouldn't have to worry about dying from lack of oxygen.
Brother Hao entered the fifth room and directed the twenty or so big men to put the children in the corner of the room.
Then after asking a man to cook, he went to the fourth room to see the good things he had accidentally obtained.
Thirteen years ago, a major landowner in the town was overthrown, and all six members of his family died. But no one could find his vast estate.
He was only in his twenties at the time and was full of energy. He was so hungry that he ran to the mountains to find food.
By chance, I saw the landlord and his family transporting things up the mountain, and I followed them quietly, and only then did I discover this secret room. The landlord had hidden all the savings of several generations here, thinking that after the storm, he could use these things to make a comeback, but he didn't expect that the family of six could not escape the disaster and died.
After the landlord's family left, he entered the secret room. When he saw the countless treasures, he was so scared that he couldn't stand up and fell to the ground.
He made up his mind at that time that all six members of the rich man's family must be killed, so he stole the yellow croaker in the box and bribed those people to kill them, killing all six members of the family.
Although he spent more than a dozen large yellow croakers, he didn't feel bad at all. He was lucky to be able to exchange so many treasures for a little gold.
From that day on, he never went to work for a single day. At first, he took a lot of things outside. Later, when he heard that all six members of the family had died, he was so excited that he didn't sleep for two days and two nights, and secretly returned the things he had taken out.
After the reform and opening up, he spent his money lavishly. He discovered that someone was investigating the abundance of yellow croaker, both large and small, on the market. Terrified, he stopped touching them and sought other ways to make some money. A few days later, he got into an argument with a man from a neighboring village over drinking. That evening, he secretly knocked out the man's child, took him away, and sold him to a woman in the county town.
Later he saw the child in a neighboring county. At this time, the child's legs were disabled and he was begging for money for the woman.
This also opened a door to making money for him who didn't dare touch those treasures. He gathered a few people who often drank and played cards together, and started stealing children from remote mountainous areas. After beating them up, he took them to big cities to beg for food.
Someone got drunk and boasted about this, and the hungry villagers knew that he was making a lot of money from this. He was eating and drinking well every day. Many people secretly approached him, wanting to join him and make a fortune together.
He had only wanted to do a small thing and didn't intend to do anything big, so he wanted to refuse the villagers' request to join him, but someone said to him directly: "If you don't let us join you, we will report you and put you in jail."
He had no choice but to agree to the villagers' request and lead everyone to do it together.
Later they found out that many families in the mountains wanted a little girl who would work like a horse or an ox for them when she was young and become their son's wife when she grew up.
So their business expanded, and over three years, hundreds of little girls were sold into the mountains, and more than two hundred little boys were crippled and distributed to nearby major cities to beg for money.
