Chapter 52: Welcome Home
Chopsticks felt as if his ribcage was burning, and he desperately opened his mouth wide, panting with all his strength. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The air in the wild is still cold in winter, and it seems that this is the only way to feel a little more comfortable.
The little radish head is no longer by his side.
Children under the age of ten were ordered by the young nobleman to ride all the oxen at the beginning of their journey.
This is almost a thing that makes all slaves feel incredible.
You know, a cow is worth a lot more than a slave!
Now this great nobleman actually let the worthless slave sit on the cow?
Definitely ill-intentioned, chopsticks gasped for breath as he struggled to think.
Then his gaze fell on his two hemp legs, which had been empty and empty, and now had two more dusty cloth bands.
This is the second place that makes chopsticks incomprehensible.
Before they could begin to leave, the majestic-looking nobles and domestic slaves gave each of them two strips of cloth.
The terrified slaves thought they were going to strangle themselves with the strips of cloth.
As a result, Liu Han made the slaves understand that these strips of cloth were tied to their legs.
Why do you want to tie your legs?
This question has been vaguely understood by chopsticks.
According to the past situation, his thin chopstick-like body would never be able to walk such a long distance.
The chopsticks wiped the sweat from his head, and then moved his chapped lips, which were barely bloody.
Carefully took out the bamboo tube that the nobleman had given to everyone before, and took a sip.
Even if the big nobleman claimed that there was enough water pipe, the chopsticks did not dare to drink more.
Just because the water in this bamboo tube has a faint salty taste, which means that there is an extremely precious ... Salt!
Who knows if you'll be able to drink this water the next time you fill it.
The chopsticks stick out their tongues and carefully lick a drop of water hanging from the edge of the bamboo tube into their mouths.
I feel the feeling that my body is energized and come back to life, and there is that salty, extremely wonderful taste.
A feeling of curiosity suddenly rose in Chopsticks' heart.
Strange aristocratic ...... Thinking so, he soon discovered that such an idea was a luxury for a slave, so Chopsticks quickly threw this curiosity out of his mind.
...............
Liu Han ran to Li Fan's side, looked at the sun in the sky that was gradually sinking in the west, and said in surprise
"Village Chief, it's a god!
We actually made it to the gathering place just before sunset!
The cloth strap tied to the leg and the water in the bamboo tube are so powerful?
Why are these two things different when there are more!"
Li Fan wiped the sweat from his head, like everyone, this great nobleman in the minds of slaves has always been at the forefront.
After listening to Liu Han's question, Li Fan picked up the bamboo tube and took a big sip before exhaling comfortably
"These are called leggings, and they prevent the swelling and pain caused by the accumulation of blood vessels. As for saline, it is used to replenish electrolytes. ”
looked at Liu Han with a bewildered and dazed look.
Li Fan smiled, rested on the trunk of the tree for a while, and then said
"You take the hunting party first, and when you get to the camp, make the preparations first, and the water must be boiled, understand?"
Liu Han agreed, gave a whistle, and a bunch of people suddenly broke away from the slow-moving army and moved forward quickly.
...................
Chopsticks didn't know how long he had walked, he only remembered that they had stopped more than twenty times during the long journey, and of course, Chopsticks didn't know the number twenty.
Every time he stopped, he would carve a mark on his bamboo tube with a stone.
It wasn't until later that the chopsticks learned that the scratches on the dense bamboo tube totaled twenty-five.
At first, the slaves would whisper about the purpose of the trip.
They speculated with each other about why their new owners were giving them leggings and precious salt water.
The person who swore before that there would never be salt water in the second camp patted his thin chest again in the teasing eyes of the others after filling a bamboo tube of salt water again, and said that there will be absolutely no next time!
Then they were slapped in the face again until they came to the end of what the great nobleman had said.
But even the most daring people did not guess that they would be greeted with such a life.
A life they never dreamed of, even in their dreams.
...............
The chopsticks followed the crowd silently to a red brick house that they had never seen before.
The great nobleman stood in front with a barrel in his hand, cleared his throat and began to shout
"Everybody, the men are on the left, and the women are on the right. The kid is standing in the middle!"
There was a bustling noise from the crowd, and everyone was a little frightened, because according to their previous experience, whenever the nobles gave this order.
What awaits these slaves is the separation from their families, and if they are lucky, they will be able to see their families in the future, and if they are unlucky, they will be separated from their families..... Separation is permanence.
Li Fan easily understood what they were worried about from the movements of these slaves subconsciously approaching their families, hugging their children, and their frightened eyes.
So he did it another way.
"Then let's change it, those who have families are with their families, stand next to them, and the rest of the people are arranged according to what I just said!"
Chopsticks suddenly found a new suspicion!
This great nobleman was actually talking to them in the language of slaves, that is, in Chinese!
You know, if these nobles have to communicate with slaves, they must tilt their heads and aim their nostrils at themselves, and then choke out the extremely unpleasant Celestial Dragon language from their throats.
Chopsticks suddenly found that the crowd was quickly separating, he hurriedly interrupted his thoughts, dragged the little radish head that had returned to him, and then ran to the pair of columns with family without hesitation.
Li Fan whispered to the little flower beside him
"The women will be left to you. ”
Xiaohua nodded, her white face had a tenacity that was not commensurate with her age, this 18-year-old girl had become a qualified head of the "Logistics Support Department" after a year of training in Yang Village.
watched the female ** subordinates leave with Xiaohua nervously.
Li Fan continued to shout
"Don't worry, I think you've eaten that kind of potato along the way, and I promise you'll all be able to eat potatoes instead of Blackstone steamed buns for the rest of the day.
But we have a little more to do before we do that......"
As soon as the chopsticks heard the word potato, a large amount of saliva began to secrete in his mouth, this thing called potato was simply the best thing he had ever eaten in his life, compared to the black stone steamed buns that often had to be soaked in water for a long time before they could be bitten.
Potatoes are simply a food that only old men can enjoy!
We'll all be able to eat this in the future?
When he came back to his senses, the great nobleman had already finished speaking, and only saw a sincere and warm smile on his face, and said happily
"Welcome home. ”
