Traveling through 1942 with space

Just when Erhuan went back to call for help, Hou Huanying hurried forward to stop the convoy, but how could those who blatantly trafficked in human beings in a disaster year be good people?

At the coachman's call, a group of guards with swords and guns surrounded them.

In reality, it is impossible to just pull out a gun and start killing people. After all, their caravan is also civilians, and if they provoke the patrol, they have to pay money to deal with them.

Besides, a bullet costs only a few cents! In the eyes of the lackeys, a group of untouchables are not worth even a bullet.

The leader of the human traffickers' escort team came to the front of the car and saw that the person who stopped the car was a half-grown child. He gave a look, and one of the guards went up and slapped Hou Huanying twice, then told him to get out.

"How can you hit someone?"

Three or four young boys of similar age who were with Hou Huanying also got excited and tried to stop them.

"What's going on? You little bastards dare to stop the Fan family's convoy. Are you tired of living? Get out of here now, or I'll let you see the eyes of the Horse King." The guard started yelling.

"I won't leave. My sister is in the car. You guys wait a moment. My brother has gone back to call me dad." Hou Huanying was very stubborn and refused to leave no matter how they stopped.

"Hey! Are you still calling for help? Why are you calling your father? Redeem a bunch of fleeing earthworms, do you have money?

Do you know how much this girl could be sold for if taken to Qin Province?

Boy, I tell you, twenty dollars. You can't even make up the difference even if you sell them, so get out of here if you know what's best for you." A coachman was amused and yelled at Hou Huanying and the others to get out of the way.

They were just a bunch of half-grown country kids who could barely read and write, and their eloquence was not that good. Hou Huanying had no choice but to continue stopping them.

"You little bastards are so ignorant, let me beat you up." The leading guard shouted, and eight or nine guards surrounded them, grabbed Hou Huanying and the others and started beating them up.

The guards are all the landlords' and wealthy's house guards. They are usually arrogant and domineering. They will not show mercy when beating people up. Instead, they enjoy doing it.

The boys resisted for less than a moment before they were beaten black and blue with blood flying from their noses.

……

"stop!"

Hou Yangmin was running all the way with his second son. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was furious and quickly shouted to stop.

There were many people watching the excitement, but no one dared to step forward to stop it. The guards were fighting vigorously, and when they heard someone dare to shout to stop, they stopped out of curiosity.

"father!"

"Dad, save me!"

Hou Huanying, who was beaten black and blue, and Hou Chunhua, who was crying bitterly in the carriage, seemed to have regained their confidence when they saw the person coming, and they immediately started crying and shouting.

"So you are the father of this ignorant kid! What, you also want to stop the Fan family's convoy?" The leader of the escort team looked at Hou Yangmin and walked towards him.

"Master, my son and I had no intention of colliding with the Fan family's convoy.

I just saw my own Ni'er appear in the Fan family's car, so I wanted to ask for clarification and redeem her at the same time." Hou Yangmin said with a neither humble nor arrogant gesture, cupping his hands.

"Oh! That crying little girl is your Ni'er? She is indeed pretty.

But this girl was mortgaged to the Fan family by Mr. Zheng, the owner of Zheng's Grocery Store in Luoning County some time ago, so she has nothing to do with this gentleman!

As for redeeming the person, I'm afraid it's not possible, because the person has already been bought by Qin Province." A middle-aged man in a long robe next to the leader of the guard said.

“Please forgive me, shopkeeper. My daughter Ni’er married into the Zheng family at the beginning of the year.

When my family left Luoning County last month, I went to look for them, but I didn't expect that the Zheng family had already left Luoning County. I really didn't expect that the Zheng family would be so cruel and heartless that they actually sold my daughter.

We naturally have no intention of selling our daughter, and we hope that the shopkeeper can show mercy and allow us to redeem our daughter." Hou Yangmin knew that the Fan family was not easy to mess with, so he smiled and begged.

"No, I can't make the decision on this matter. The county manager has already made an agreement with the buyer in Qin Province. If this brother wants to redeem his daughter, he should go to Qin Province!

Captain Fan, throw those kids aside and let's go." The middle-aged man in the long gown didn't want to waste any more time talking to an ordinary person like Hou Yangmin, so he called out to the leader of the guards next to him and was about to leave.

"Manager Fan, please, can you please be flexible?" Hou Yangmin was also a little anxious and grabbed the middle-aged man in the long gown.

"What do you want to do? Someone come! Get rid of him quickly." The middle-aged man in the long gown stopped pretending to be polite and quickly called the guard beside him.

When the guard saw the shopkeeper being caught, he raised the long stick in his hand and hit Hou Yangmin's arm. If he hit the target, he would have a broken bone given his current physical condition.

Hou Yangmin was horrified and quickly let go and jumped aside.

But the guards were not willing to let Hou Yangmin go, they chased him with sticks and beat him, and some guards even raised knives to chop him. However, they were stopped by the leader who didn't want to see blood on the street.

Hou Yangmin was an ordinary person. He was in a hurry when he came out and didn't bring any self-defense stick or anything like that. In order to avoid vital parts of the body, he was hit several times in a row and was in great pain.

"Boss Fan, my family is willing to redeem our daughter. Please name a price! I beg you." Hou Yangmin was driven to the side of the road, his voice full of sadness.

"Hmph! I'm just a nobody, but I'm being polite to you. You think you're an important person? You have some money, so get out of here right away." The middle-aged man in a long gown snorted coldly as he sat on the shaft of the cart.

Watching the carriage slowly moving, his daughter cried out loudly with tears streaming down her face, and his son wailed loudly with blood all over his face from his nose. Hou Yangmin felt that no one could answer him and he sat down on the ground in grief and anger.

"Uncle, we are here, you damn Fan family human traffickers, stop immediately." Seeing that the carriage had already started moving, Hou Xiaoge quickly shouted at his uncle and the carriage.

The Fan family guards, who had not walked far yet, stopped immediately when they heard someone dared to shout and curse their Fan family.

Hou Yangmin, who was sitting on the ground with a look of grief and anger on his face, was emboldened when he saw his nephew coming with a group of villagers. He immediately jumped up from the ground and grabbed the rifle in Hou Xiaoge's hand.

"Damn Fan family, stop the car immediately and let our Ni'er go, otherwise the gun in my hand will not recognize anyone." Hou Yangmin shouted angrily, pulling the bolt of the gun and aiming directly at the Fan family guards who were about to come over to teach his nephew a lesson.

Seeing that Hou Yangmin actually had a gun in his hand and was aiming at them, several guards who were holding sticks and knives were so scared that they fell down.

Seeing his elder brother-in-law raising his gun, his younger uncle Zhou Xinmin decisively pulled the bolt and aimed at the Fan family convoy.

The Fan family guards never expected that the earthworm people they had just bullied would dare to point their guns at them. Four or five people with guns in the team quickly rushed over and confronted the Hou family masters.

"Put down your guns. You guys actually dared to point your guns at the Fan family's convoy. You must be tired of living." The leader of the Fan family was used to bullying and was about to rush over to seize Hou Yangmin's gun with a grim face.

"boom!"

"Let's see who dares to move. Do you really think we dare not shoot? We all have our heads on our shoulders. Who's afraid of who?" Hou Xiaoge took the Ma Pai oar and fired a shot at the ground in front of the feet of the leader of the escort team.
