Chapter 15 Tracing
Annaye is an unfortunate woman. Like most unfortunate people in the world, her suffering has a lot to do with the environment in which she was born and raised.
Anaye's family is very poor, so poor that she sometimes goes hungry. Such a background naturally makes her unable to get into higher education. In fact, she couldn't even finish compulsory education.
Although it has been the 23rd century, many bad habits of mankind have not changed at all. In many poor areas, "old concepts" are above the "marriage law"; in those places, girls from poor families are often "married" out hastily before the legal age for marriage... to marry a stranger.
When the children of rich families spend their parents' money in college, the girls of poor families may already be the mother of one or even multiple children.
This is the fate of Annaye. At the age of fifteen, in order to make her brother rich to marry a wife, she was "sold" like goods and married Saleh.
She didn't complain. She had seen many of her peers marry disabled, mentally retarded or bad old men...
Therefore, not only did she not have any resentment, but she was somewhat grateful to her parents. They would rather take less money than insist on handing over herself to a healthy young man.
This is how people are. When fate shows its cruel side to us, our psychological bottom line will naturally decrease.
Only when you have no worries about food and clothing will you consider social status. If you eat the last meal but not the next meal, that full meal will make you satisfied; only when you are healthy will you pursue various sensory stimulation, and when you are knocked down by the disease and lying on the hospital bed, breathing and eating can make you feel relieved by just relying on your own ability to breathe and eat.
It is precisely because humans can get comfort from this "relative happiness" that we can survive in adversity. Our psychological adaptability is much stronger than that at the physiological level.
However, the cruelty of fate sometimes exceeds the limit of people's tolerance, not... not sometimes, it should be said that it is often...
After marrying Saleh, Anaye did have a good life for several years. Although Saleh's job income is not high, he will at least not let his wife starve, and Saleh treats her well.
At the age of seventeen, Anaye gave birth to a boy. He thought that the family of three could live a happy life so peacefully, but unexpectedly, three years later, their child fell seriously ill.
Like most ordinary local families, they are simply unable to bear the medical expenses of major diseases, and no one is willing to lend them money because everyone knows that if they borrow this kind of money, they can't be collected.
Some people even told them in person that it is for their own good if they don’t lend money to them, because it is highly likely that they will not be cured if they continue to spend money to treat their children. It will also cause huge debts for the couple, and those who lend money to them kindly suffer losses. It is better not to treat them and give birth to another one as soon as possible.
This is ugly, cruel, and sadly... it is not wrong.
There is a saying that "Low pain is worse than long pain", but short pain is also pain. The pain that young children are tortured by illness and eventually die in front of their parents is unimaginable and even more unbearable.
During the days when the child died, Anaya burst into tears all day long, while Saleh became like a walking corpse.
Finally, a year later, when Anaya slowly walked out of the shadows on her back, Saleh was led to another road.
The lies fabricated by the Mushen Cult made Saleh believe that... As long as he is pious enough, he can fly his children's soul from hell to heaven and meet him there one day.
After joining the church, Saleh donated almost all his family's finances to the organization one after another. He frequently participated in activities of the Mushen Cult made him drowsy and eventually fired. However, he thought he had found a savior and did not care. He also wanted his wife to fall into the arms of the Mushen Cult, so he begged Master Nassar to come to his home to see if his wife was qualified.
Originally, Nassar was not interested in a small character like Saleh and did not want to go for such a small matter at all, but he couldn't stand the guy talking about it again and again, so he decided to come over and deal with it casually. As a result, as soon as he arrived at Saleh's house, he found that the believer's wife was beautiful and immediately had a bad idea.
That day, although Saleh did not agree to Nassar on the spot to give up his wife, Anaye was already disappointed with her husband. She judged that her husband was no longer saved. When she thought of the death of the child, Anaye felt that this might be God's will. Therefore, that night, she cleaned up her things a little (because she was basically barely barely and there was not much to clean up) and slipped out of the house.
Anaye knew that the Mu Shen Sect was not a good person, and it would be useless to escape back to her parents' home and might bring disaster to her family. Therefore, she decided to go far away.
Although she had not finished junior high school, Anaye's geography knowledge was OK. In addition to the recent federal government's various propaganda at the grassroots level, she generally knew that she had to go north to the occupied area of the rebels, so she chose to leave the city from the north.
It was late at night, and there was almost no public transportation in the 18th-tier cities like Jerusalem. Even if there were, a woman carrying her luggage was too conspicuous in the car, so Anay could only use her feet to rush on the road.
Not to mention a woman who doesn't go out too much, even a man will be tired even if he walks with a box for several hours.
When Anaya finally walked out of the city, she was so tired that she couldn't walk anymore. Just so happened that there was a gas station not far ahead, so she wanted to go there for a rest.
She originally thought that when it was dawn, there would be a car out of the city, and then she would take a ride-hailing ride depending on the situation.
But she didn't know that the store manager and clerk at the gas station were all engaged in "head" transactions.
On weekdays, even if a man comes here, it is not absolutely safe. If these two people judge that the visitor is a small character with no social relationship, they might arrest him and sell him to the gangs that acquire organs; for women and children... it depends on the situation. As long as young women and children are not too scary, they are basically sold to human traffickers. Those traffickers do not accept them, and then sell them to black market organ traders.
A young woman like Anaya who carries her luggage alone in the middle of the night, wants to pass here... that is impossible.
Before she could reach the store door, she was already stunned by the clerk who was approaching from the darkness and carried into the basement of the gas station.
It was a secret basement they used specifically to detain "goods". The entrance door was hidden behind the cashier counter and was stepped on under the foot of the store manager for most of the time.
When Anaye was locked up, there were another man and two women inside except her. There was no room here, and the detained people were locked by iron collars and tied to the wall with a very short iron chain. They were about two meters apart from each other, and there was an iron bucket containing excrement at their feet.
The store manager and clerk are not worried that someone will kick the iron bucket down due to anger or struggle, because once they encounter this situation, they will force the person who kicked the bucket to clean up the dirty ground with their tongues and digestive systems, and watch the whole process with great interest...
If you have books, you will be long, and if you don’t have books, you will be short.
In this way, Anaye was locked up there for a day and a night, and by the early morning of the next day, she was bought by human traffickers with two other women; and the man was locked up for a while longer than them, because the organ traders came later than human traffickers.
After that, after another half a day, at noon, a small trailer carrying four people arrived at the gas station...
…………
"vomit"
Saleh did not follow Shi San and the others into the gas station, because he started vomiting wildly after seeing the clerk turn into a "fish ball".
Whether it is transforming people or leveling combat power... it is the same in front of Shi Sanwen.
Shi Sanwen just thought, hundreds of small round spoon-shaped shit petals emerged from all over the clerk's body, and they were very evenly cut into "small balls" of the same size from the inside to the outside; his internal organs, bones, flesh, skin, etc. were easily "dig" like tofu and wrapped in the round dung shell.
In just a few seconds, the original living person had turned into a pile of shit pills that fell on the ground. To be described, it was like hundreds of large sizes, with the golden wrapping paper Ferrero chocolates.
After getting this guy over, Shi Sanwen rushed into the store accompanied by Zhang San and Lieba.
Because everything happened too quickly, the store manager behind the counter had not yet reacted to what was happening outside the store, three figures had already come to him and blocked his sight.
"What's wrong with you?" The store manager knew just by feeling that the three people were not good, so he was not very polite in asking questions, and he was ready for the battle.
"I heard..." This time, Zhang San was responsible for negotiating, "... In this frame of Jerusalem, all those who have been on the road, will come to you two water rollers to touch the code. Is that true?"
Zhang San naturally had conducted some investigations on the information about this store. As for his slander, it was a basic business. When he met the appropriate person, he would switch to use it.
"What? Are you a scattered person?" The store manager used his words to delay time while scanning the three of them with his eyes, and took a little back, trying to cross them and go through the window to see the situation outside the store, "Where are you doing?"
Unfortunately, the three of them were like human walls and stood very close. Even if the store manager retreated to the point where he was against the wall, he could not see outside.
"It's easy to say." Two seconds later, Zhang San continued, "The door faces the sea, the ground is steeping on the high hill, the bridge passes under the knife, it's hard to perish under the knife, and a white fan with a bunch of incense, and a double flower red stick hides around the waist."
"Uh..." Although the store manager is also an old man, he couldn't handle Zhang San's slander, "Brother... do you want to inquire about it? Or do you want to get the right match with us?" He could only pretend to understand, and then ask the other party whether he wanted intelligence or cooperation.
"It's nothing big." Zhang San stopped talking about anything else and took out Saleh's wife... that is, Anaye's photo and took it on the counter. "You should still remember this red ticket the night before yesterday, right?"
The store manager did not move, looked down at the photo, and then said coldly: "So what if I remember? So what if I don't remember?"
"Remember, let's talk, don't remember... we have to talk, too." Zhang San replied.
"Hmph..." The store manager had heard the intimidation in this sentence, snorted coldly, and replied, "Brother, I don't think you are a person who doesn't understand the rules. You'd better think clearly..." When he said this, a scary look squeezed out from his face, "...Brother, I'm so stupid!"
"That's it..." Zhang San shrugged and suddenly stopped the slander and said in a normal tone, "Then there is nothing I can do, let's talk to you if my friend."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Sanwen, who was standing beside him, leaned forward, pressed his elbows on the counter, looked at the store manager in a very erotic standing posture and said, "Fat! Do you know me?"
"What if I don't know?" The store manager couldn't lose in terms of momentum, so he immediately straightened his back and replied with a glaring look.
"Don't know?" Shi San asked, "Haha... Then I'll let you recognize shit today."
