Very soon, the Song people who were captured by the Jin Xia Army and brought to Haiyan Pass to serve as slaves were all rescued.
They knelt in front of Chen Mo's carriage, crying and expressing their deep gratitude: "Thank you, General, for saving our lives. May we know your honorable name so that we can remember our benefactor and never forget?"
Their gratitude to Chen Mo was heartfelt.
After being captured by the Jin Xia Army and brought to Haiyan Pass, they were all sold to slave owners, chained up like goods, and put on display on the street for the people of Jin Xia to purchase, often suffering insults and beatings.
Most despicably, to fetch a good price, the slave owners would separate families, selling young children and girls for a higher price, while the elderly and feeble women were sold for the lowest price.
From then on, families were scattered, each member living separately.
