Chapter 141: The Shock of Sun Guo's Slaves
Chapter 141: The Shock of Sun Guo's Slaves
When they arrived at the slave fang, the stewards saw the king, the second elder, and the dragon lord coming together, and they were sincerely frightened, and hurriedly came out to greet them.
Yao Yun glanced at it, the thatched huts in the slave workshop were still short and dilapidated, like ant dents, one by one, close together, not sheltering from the wind or rain, and it would definitely be a mess if it encountered a little wind and rain.
The living environment of the slaves is really average, but Yao Yun is also satisfied, a little better than the last time he saw the situation, at least much more organized, and the most important thing is that the slaves are no longer lifeless.
"Steward, you have arranged the new slaves, and in the evening, all the slaves will return to the slave workshop, and the second elder will come over to select people, and arrange it when the time comes. ”
"Whoa!"
After speaking, Yao Yun and Wu Tong left.
The stewards of the slave shop were quite quick, and soon arranged accommodation for the new five hundred slaves.
The gorgeous clothes on the fake princess Erya are gone, only a single dress remains, which looks a little pitiful, and next to her is the ugly girl.
The two were in the same room.
"Erya, are you okay? ”
"I... I'm fine, I'm not afraid to be by your side, it's good, we're separated, even if it's sad in the future, I can guard you. ”
"Hey. ”
"Don't be afraid, girl, come, drink water. ”
In the house, in addition to the two of them, there was an aunt and a swarthy boy of seven or eight years old, who heard their conversation and then smiled kindly.
"Thank you, Auntie. ”
Mu Yue and Erya immediately felt a lot more relieved when they heard the words of the eldest aunt, this Xidu seems to be different from other places, in Izumo City, as slaves, their status is comparable to that of pigs, dogs and livestock, but here it is much more reassuring.
Gollum!
It seemed that they were really thirsty, and the two girls drank very quickly, and the corners of their mouths were soaked with water.
"Don't be afraid, two sisters, King Xi is a big hero and won't hurt us. ”
Mu Yue's action of drinking water stopped, and his eyes flashed with incredulity, yes, the little boy in front of him was also a slave, and he actually said that King Xi was a big hero.
The child is not sensible, but the aunt can observe words and feelings, and when she saw the surprised expressions of the two little girls, she immediately smiled heartily:
"Two girls, my name is Jinghua, you can call me Aunt Jinghua in the future, this is my child's second egg, we are all slaves of King Xi, and we have been in Xidu for almost a year. ”
The aunt smiled very heartily, from the heart, and it was very infectious.
Mu Yue and Erya were even more puzzled at this time, they really couldn't figure out why the slave could make such a hearty laugh, which simply subverted their imagination.
It's not that the slaves lived miserably, everyone was like walking corpses, and they lost hope in life, why is there something different here.
Mu Yue and Erya also said their names.
"Erya, you also brought it in the slave workshop when you were a child, do you remember?"
"I remember, it was my most terrible memory, many men died, every day there were familiar faces disappearing, and those female companions, who had to be insulted and tortured every day......."
Recalling the dark memories and remembering the situation in front of her, Erya suddenly became nervous.
Aunt Jinghua saw that the two girls were scared and frightened, so she took the hands of the two girls and said gently: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Auntie won't lie to you, what I Jiawa said is right, King Xi is very good, as long as you don't be lazy and slippery, life is still very good." ”
Mu Yue and Erya will be suspicious, trying to have peace of mind, they know very well in their hearts that there is no good life after becoming a slave, and the best outcome is to become some big names Meiji, in addition, it is bleak.
Aunt Jinghua smiled again and said: "Girl, I heard that your accent is from other vassal countries, a bit like Sun Guo, I have been to Sun Country with my family before, it sounds like." ”
"Well, we are the people of Sun Guo, Sun Guo is dead, we will become slaves, woo woo~" Er Ya thought of this, and couldn't help but burst into tears, her life was really bitter, she was a slave when she was a child, and she was finally lucky to enter King Sun's palace and become a palace maid, and followed a good-hearted nobleman, who knew that the stars would not last long, and she would become a slave again.
It was okay to be young before, but now she has grown up and has a rather beautiful face, which is a disaster for her.
Aunt Jinghua touched Erya's head and said with a wry smile: "Okay, girl, don't cry, your luck is good, you are sold to Xidu." ”
Mu Yuejian heard her aunt comfort her several times, and she always looked like she was swearing, not like she was telling lies to comfort them, could there really be anything different about Xidu?
"Aunt Jinghua, is there anything different about Xidu?"
Aunt Jinghua patted her thigh: "Of course it's different, you are also sold from other places, have you ever seen a place that has arranged it so well for you, besides, we can talk and chat together, this is the biggest difference." ”
Hearing this, both women were stunned, yes, they both ignored this at first.
In other places, slaves were kept in crowded huts like livestock and criminals, and aunts like them had already been arranged to go out to work in broad daylight, where did they get the effort to talk to them.
Erya was dumbfounded, and she also remembered in a daze, the slave workshop in her memory was not like this at all, if it was according to the normal situation, they must be followed by a fierce overseer with a leather whip, driving them to work, if they could look good, they would have been pulled out long ago, naked for people to watch and choose......
Er Ya took Aunt Jinghua's hand, looked at the thatched house with a wary face, and asked cautiously:
"Auntie, are you running away from work? This is unacceptable, if you are discovered, you will be miserable. ”
Aunt Jinghua couldn't cry or laugh: "Girl, girl, don't worry, my aunt didn't skip work, I worked in the weaving workshop, and I have performed well in recent days, and the housekeeper in the workshop rewarded me with half a day off, two buckets of rice, goose and goose~ These rations belong to me and can be saved." ”
Mu Yue's eyes flashed with surprise, slaves work and holidays? There are also rewards, and the most important thing is that slaves can still have private property? Is this still a slave?
"Auntie, you won't be a citizen of Xidu, right? ”
"What nonsense, I'm not qualified to be a citizen of Xidu now. ”
Now they are not qualified to become the people of Xidu, what does this mean? Could it be that the slaves of Chengxi can still become commoners?
Mu Yue only felt that her brain couldn't reach it, and the knowledge recorded in the books was not needed.
"Auntie, you said that you can't become a commoner now, can you do it later?"
Hearing this, Aunt Jinghua hesitated, and counted what with her fingers: "That is, the Xiong Laohan family who lived in this house before has become the people of Xidu, and they have built a thatched house in the city. ”
Mu Yue and Erya were dumbfounded when they heard this, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"Auntie, can the slaves here become the people of Xidu?"
Aunt Jinghua immediately shook her head: "Then how can it be done, the king said, he hates useless people, as a slave of Xidu, he must have a skill, bear hardships and stand hard work, and be eager to learn and progress, those cheating and slippery waste ladies also hate it, they deserve to be slaves for the rest of their lives, and living pigs and dogs are not as good, and self-motivated people like us are willing to follow the king to live a good life." ”
"Auntie, then how can we be promoted to commoners......
......
The conversation was a whole day, and the other slaves of Sun Guo also heard about the situation of Xidu from the mouths of other slaves to a greater or lesser extent, so their faces were full of shock, and they felt a little incredible.
When the sun set, the slaves who went out to work returned to the slave house one after another, and suddenly the slave workshop became brightly lit.
Boom!
The gong is ringing!
"The king selects the best talents today, all of them come out, the carp jumps over the dragon gate, everyone come out and gather!"
"Knock knock!"
