106. Chapter 106
"Am I going to be heavy? Are your hands sore? Yi Tuan had been sitting for hours, and he was worried that Otis would not be able to bear it, "Why don't we take a rest first." ”
Otis said: "No, I'm not tired at all, now that the temperature has dropped, it is estimated that it will be dark in a few hours, and it will be dark while the sky is still bright, and the visibility will be worse when it is dark, easy to get lost, and it must be very cold." ”
Yi Tuan felt it, indeed, he doesn't feel hot now, and even slightly cool, it seems that the temperature difference between day and night on this planet is quite large, and they don't have a quilt or anything, so they won't freeze at night, right?
After another two or three hours, Otis was fine, Louise and them were getting farther and farther away, obviously unable to walk, Yi Tuan asked Otis to walk slowly, and wait for Louise.
Otis didn't really want to continue to take Louise on the road, Louise was of no use to him now, just a burden, not to mention the wounded, and it would consume the little resources they had, and it was the wisest choice to abandon her now.
But Yi Tuan seems to take good care of Louise, the only woman, and asks for warmth along the way, and also finds topics to chat with her, and gives her the most fruits, saying that she has lost blood and should eat better.
After weighing the gains and losses, in the end Otis still compromised, he and Yi Tuan are getting along quite well now, so don't make conflicts over this little thing, so as not to be self-defeating and lose more than worth the loss, now is a good opportunity to cultivate feelings.
The temperature difference between day and night in this place is really large, and the temperature is already very low when the sun is setting in the west, probably only a few degrees, Louise put on a thin coat, and Otis put on Yi Tuan's coat, and hugged Yi Tuan in his arms, afraid that he would be cold.
This made Yi Tuan a little moved, and he didn't expect that the other party was quite good to him as a hostage, "Aren't you cold?" "He's a little embarrassed.
"It's not a big deal." Otis disagreed, "You are a very important hostage, you are so delicate, I am afraid that you will die if you get sick casually, and there is no doctor here to save you." ”
"Oh......" Yi Tuan buried his head in Otis's arms to keep warm, this person is really, he will not say anything nice if he cares about people, but it is really a little cold, if he is sick, it is not a joke, he will definitely change back to his original form, at that time, it will really not be good, and he must take care of his life.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the three of them decided to spend the night in a small village of decent size, and found a barely passable house to clean it.
He chopped a dead tree at the entrance of the village with his bare hands, made a simple broom with thin branches, cleaned the house simply, and then used stones to make a fire in a place around the house to keep warm.
The fire was soon lit, the doors and windows of the house were very simple, although there was no wind, but the cold air would still keep pouring into the thick gaps, in order to insure Otis also surrounded the two corners of the house and made a fire around the stones, the branches and wood blocks burned and crackled, the fire jumped and jumped, the temperature around it rose suddenly, and the house immediately warmed up, Louise and Yi Tuan no longer had to tremble, and now the temperature outside is estimated to be more than ten degrees below zero, so Otis can go in and out casually like no one.
When Otis came in again, he brought in a large thick trunk, which was too thick for a man to hold, and he stood on the ground, and only heard a snap, and he split the trunk with his bare hands, and the section was quite smooth, and half of it fell to the ground.
Then there were a few more crackles, and they had several flat planks of two or three centimeters thick, and Otis said that this night they could be laid on the floor as a bed, better than sleeping on a cold muddy floor, and it was cleaner.
Yi Tuan opened his mouth wide the whole time, "Why are you so powerful, your hands are as sharp as knives, won't it hurt?" Are there any injuries? He took Otis's hand and looked over and over again, and was relieved to find that it was okay.
"But it's just some wood, not stone, and what a fuss, isn't Chester going too." Otis didn't care, although he could also split stones.
Yi Tuan raised his head and recalled, "I also remembered what you said, I once saw him angry and smashed a porcelain cup with his bare hands, and his strength was really terrifying." ”
There were two planks on the left and right, Louise alone, and Otis and Yi Tuan on the other side of the fire.
Otis took out the navigation map again, but naturally he was still disappointed, and there was still no signal.
Yi Tuan comforted: "It doesn't matter, just wait for us to find the residents here, and we will definitely be able to contact the outside." ”
Otis glanced at him, "You see a place like this here?" ”
"But this should be one of the slave production areas, and if you are lucky enough to meet a slave trader, the problem will be solved." Otis said again.
“…… Origin? This word sounded too harsh to Yi Tuan, "They are people, how can they say what place of origin." ”
Otis looked at Yi Tuan inexplicably, "Slaves are originally commodities, things that can be bought and sold with money, you are the queen of Rodman, don't you usually use slaves." ”
Yi Tuan: "......" He is not qualified to refute, indeed, whether he wants to use it or not, the slaves under his name are millions, more than anyone else, although he has tried his best to let these slaves do easy work, live like ordinary people, but no matter how easy it is, it is just an item that can be bought and sold at will.
"You can't sympathize with them, do you?" Otis felt as if this possibility was quite large, although the time spent together was very short, but Yi Tuan's temperament he knew quite well, more gentle and kind than Iman said, his heart was incredibly soft, and he couldn't see anyone suffer, as a high queen, it was not easy to have this conscience.
But such a person is reassuring, whether it is Chester or himself, he will be willing to let such a person stand by his side, safe and harmless, and never have to worry about the other party showing his fangs to himself, don't blame Chester for pampering him, such a person is indeed rare.
"Does Hiro have slaves too?" Yi Tuan asked.
"Of course there are, and many, all human beings are inherently unequal, and there are naturally slaves when there are gods."
"That's right, you're gods......" Yi Tuan sighed, these people would never understand the weakness of ordinary humans.
"Sister Louise, what about you, what do you think of slaves, there are no slaves in your country, people. The Lord is free, he probably doesn't like slavery, right? Yi Tuan suddenly remembered this, he might be able to have an alliance.
"Poof." Before Louise could say anything, Otis burst out laughing.
"Laughing at what?" Yi Tuan was not happy.
"You're really provocative, you won't forget Louise's identity, will you? She was the princess of St. Buyat. Otis mocked, "A princess with an empty title and no real power is inferior to the daughter of an ordinary rich businessman, at least the ordinary rich will not have the people to keep an eye on every word and deed." ”
"Tell me if she'll like Min. Lord Freedom? Those who like this kind of thing are always ordinary people who have no talent and no status, and only they will use this good-sounding thing to narrow the gap between them and those with talented and noble bloodlines. ”
"......" Yi Tuan suddenly withered, as if he had indeed asked the wrong person, why one or two were like this, Chester was like this, Otis was like this, and Louise was like this, making his thinking seem to have become non-mainstream.
After chatting for a while, the three of them lay down, the temperature in the room was quite high, and there was no need for a quilt or anything, Yi Tuan made a pillow with a small piece of wood, and Otis lay next to him, and the two were very close.
It may have taken a lot of energy during the day, and after a while, Yi Tuan was dazed and drowsy.
Otis suddenly whispered to him, "Do you really hate slavery that much?" ”
“…… Oh, yes. Yi Tuan opened his eyes, "I won't talk about the big truth, but as long as you put yourself in your shoes, no one likes to be bought as a commodity, people are thoughtful, different from animals, animals may not understand what buying and selling is, but people understand, don't you think it's terrible, what kind of mentality do those slaves have to serve their so-called masters, are they really willing, obviously they are also human." ”
"Don't you feel scared when you are served by slaves?" Yi Tuan turned to look at Otis.
Otis couldn't help but reach out and touch Yi Tuan's hair, "You are obviously the queen of Rodman, I really don't know where you learned this kind of thinking." ”
"Does it have anything to do with identity?"
"Of course, Rodman can't teach people like you, they've been nurtured since birth, they've been so old for generations, and habits are terrible things, but they don't seem to work with you." Otis said softly, "If I can become King of Hiro in the future, I can abolish slavery for you, as long as you are willing to choose me." ”
"Huh? What picks you? Yi Tuan didn't understand what this meant, what was it called for him, what was the choice?
"It's okay, go to bed early, I don't know when it will be light, I can sleep as much as I can." The child was really innocent, Otis touched Yi Tuan's hair again, white hair was rare, very smooth and soft, and there was a faint fragrance.
"Oh." Yi Tuan obediently closed his eyes, it was useless to think too much, it was better to sleep, leaving this ghost place as soon as possible is the most important thing at present.
Hey, it would be nice to wake up and find Chester coming to save him, but I know it's impossible, I can only dream, hey, poor him......
When both of them closed their eyes, Louise next door opened their eyes, and she happened to be facing away from Otis and Yi Tuan, and neither of them could see her expression.
Otis and Yi Tuan thought she had slept, but her wound was so painful that she hadn't fallen asleep until now, and then they listened to the whispered conversation between the two intermittently.
Louise clenched her fists tightly, Otis didn't understand what Yi Tuan said, but she understood it very well.
She only now understands that Yi Tuan was not an inconsequential hostage at all, and Otis planned to make Yi Tuan queen after Hiro's return! Otherwise, there would not have been a promise like that.
No wonder they were so good to Yi Tuan along the way, it turned out that they regarded the other party as their future other half, could it be bad!
Why, why! Why is this the case! Why choose such a person!
Louise really can't accept it, she has been with Otis for more than ten years, Yi Tuan has only known each other for a few days, why would Otis choose Yi Tuan not to choose her?
Is it because he is Rodman's queen? But once Rodman no longer exists, Yi Tuan, the queen, will not be a queen, that is, an ordinary person, what is the value worth cherishing and paying attention to?
doesn't have much dazzling beauty, doesn't look like much outstanding talent, mediocre and rotten good people, fragile enough to be broken when pinched, and is completely a child who hasn't grown up.
Why, why would someone as outstanding as Otis choose such a person, why!
Even if it wasn't her, it shouldn't be him.
Her king clearly deserves someone better......
