Chapter 223: The Dispute over the Identity of the Maiden
There were 892 guards in the entire mine and the new arrivals, of whom 1,543 were men and 349 were women. It is divided into two battalions, men and women.
The male battalion was stationed to the east of the entrance, and the female guards were to the south of the entrance to the mining area, near the stone house where Rong Yuanhang currently lived. The male mine protection battalion is under the command of Wang Shousong, the twenty-third grandson of the Wang family, and is divided into several hundred-person squads. The newcomer Wang Ruonan led the female guards, and the women's battalion was also divided into three squads. The male and female battalions were about three or four kilometers apart.
After Long Yurou and Rong Yuanhang finished inspecting the mining area, they led him to the men's barracks to the east.
The place is arid, and all that grow are willows, poplars, dates, pines, and some cacti. The men's barracks was built on a small forest of fiery poplars, and a large circle was enclosed with a wooden fence outside the barracks. Most of the buildings are made of locally fired adobe bricks, the facades are plastered with a layer of clay from the foot of the mountain, and the roofs are supported by tarpaulin and miscellaneous wood. There are some facilities such as stables, school grounds, and martial arts training grounds.
When the guards don't rotate on weekdays, most of them practice in the school field, and some of them push the mountains, and their topics are never separated from women. As soon as Long Yurou and Rong Yuanhang arrived, they were given a grand welcome, these guards were all bears and tigers, strong and heroic, with extraordinary qi and military temperament.
Rong Yuanhang sensed it with his heart, and there was no one who was lower than the middle level of the martial artist! Wang Shousong and Liu Yuanyong, as the protectors and captains of the men's camp, will lead them into the tent camp to serve with tea and wine, and find all five squad leaders in the men's camp to accompany them, mainly to introduce Rong Yuanhang, a new elder.
When Long Rouyu came to the women's camp with Rong Yuanhang, the feeling was different. These female guards are different from male soldiers, most of them have no experience as soldiers, and they came out of the Wang Family Martial Arts School. When he entered the school, he was basically a leader in martial arts talent, and his qualifications were very good, otherwise he would not have been specially sent to the martial arts hall by the family to cultivate.
But after a long time, he couldn't break through the threshold of the martial arts level. According to the regulations of the clan: Any apprentice who cannot break through the Martial Sect within sixty years must serve the family for up to one hundred years!
Therefore, most of the guards in the women's camp came with resentment. Just like the male guards in the men's camp looked at Long Yurou. When I came to the women's camp, I saw Rong Yuanhang, a handsome young male Dharma Protector Elder, and many women showed a vague gaze, especially the last batch of veterans.
They differed from male guards, who could also pay money to go to a female slave camp (in fact, a prostitute. Zhai) to solve physiological problems. But not the female soldiers of the women's battalion.
Most of these women broke through the level of martial artists before the age of eighteen and were sent to the clan for further study. Therefore, the vast majority of people have never had intimate contact with a man in their lives. In addition, they are not allowed to marry and have children during the service, which means that they cannot find men to marry for the next 100 years, but this does not mean that they do not desire the opposite sex.
Therefore, female guards and male guards have a taste of stealing. Love also happens often, but this is a big taboo, once discovered, it will be severely punished! For this reason, even if the two sides have a secret relationship, most women do not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
Wang Ruonan, as the protector of the law, has direct control over the women's camp. As for the original female captain, she was demoted to her deputy.
At this moment, seven people in the barracks were sitting around, including Rong Yuanhang, Wang Ruonan, Long Yurou, and the other four women had never seen each other.
"Yuanhang, this is Liu Siqing, the captain of our women's battalion." Wang Ruonan pointed to a delicate-looking woman next to her and introduced it.
Liu Siqing gave him a military salute: "Siqing see Elder Rong!" β
"No need to be polite." Rong Yuanhang sat in the pile of women, keeping a smile on his face at this time, in essence, his eyes occasionally swirled on the woman, secretly observing which woman was the most beautiful.
Just now in front of the female soldiers of the brigade collective. He didn't dare to overdo it, but he felt relaxed when he sat down at this time, and he had the opportunity to peek at these women. It's just that this look, all the swallows in the women's camp are thin and fat. Colorful and charming, he was dazzled.
Rong Yuanhang returned the salute, and Wang Ruonan introduced him to the other three female squad leaders, and then asked: "Yuanhang, there is no girl by your side who serves." Do you want to pick one of the women's camps? β
"Huh? This...... Don't use it, right? When Rong Yuanhang heard this, his heart was full of sorrow: the entire women's battalion picked out a maid who served him? may have inherited excellent genes, the women of the Wang family are all as beautiful as flowers, so it is really difficult for him to pick out an outstanding one among so many female disciples.
However, thinking about the secrets on my body, I was in a dilemma for a while. ββChoosing a personal maid in this mine means that every move in the future will be largely exposed under the noses of others, which requires no trust in the maid. Thinking of this, he retreated again.
At this moment, Long Yurou smiled and said, "Elder Rong, let's pick one, there must always be a laundry and cooking servant by your side, such as your clothes, you can't let Xiao Xue help you wash them, right?" She's also your mother-in-law. β
Wang Ruonan also chimed in: "Yes, are you a big man who washes his own clothes?" This is too much of a loss of your status as a 'Dharma Protector Elder'. β
"This," Rong Yuanhang wanted to push, but he didn't give up, so he pointed at it casually and said with a smile: "Can I pick her?" β
He was referring to one of the female battalion captains on the other side. Anyone who is qualified to be the captain of the squad must be at the level of Martial Sect, and the woman in front of her has the cultivation of the first level of Martial Sect. The woman's name is Wenxiu, and Rong Yuanhang knew her name when she was introduced just now.
In fact, this Wenxiu is not related to the Wang family, but one of the carefully trained private soldiers in the family, she has no father and mother, her background is innocent, but she has outstanding qualifications, and she has reached the level of the first level of Wuzong at the age of twenty-nine.
Wenxiu's skin color is milky white, melon seed face, willow moon eyebrows, forward and convex, plump. Milk. Fat. Buttocks, there is a natural fox temperament, which makes men tempted by it instantly. Rong Yuanhang saw that she was outstanding, and she was the beauty of the beauties, so he pointed at her casually.
Rong Yuanhang pointed at this, and the six women sitting were all stunned, and the squad leader Wen Xiu's face turned red. As a man's personal maid, in fact, many times she plays the role of a concubine, which is self-evident. So when Wen Xiu thought about it, her face, which was so delicate that she could pinch out water, instantly turned red.
"She?" Wang Ruonan's eyes widened and he was stunned, and said very seriously: "Yo, I don't have the right to arrange this." You have to ask the third uncle. Or...... Do you pick again? β
The female captain belongs to the 'cadre' and is appointed by the family elders', and Wen Xiu is different from the female disciples in the martial arts hall who are sent to serve as a punitive force, even if Wang Ruonan is the commander-in-chief of the female battalion. I don't have the right to be a maid according to a martial sect-level team leader.
"Haha......" Rong Yuanhang snorted, laughed to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Just kidding, girl...... Let's talk about it later, let's go. Dragon Protector, let's go see the miners' living quarters? β
Long Yurou Gujing Bubo's face hesitated slightly, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'll take you to have a look." β
β¦β¦
The miners' living area is in the west of the mining area, and behind that area is the winding and rugged Gobi, saline-alkali land, hills, riverbeds, small deserts, and beyond the endless hills, cliffs, and primeval forests.
It's like a refugee camp, with rows of houses made of miscellaneous trees. Blankets made of wicker or reeds were used as roofs to shelter from the wind and dust. In every house, there are such things as dustpans, jars, pots, and hoes and sickles scattered everywhere.
The living area of more than 4,000 people forms a noisy town, which is very lively. Children were playing and frolicking everywhere, and there were also many women wandering in and out, and when they saw the arrival of Long Yurou and Rong Yuanhang, two 'big shots', they showed a kind of awe-inspiring eyes.
"The miners also brought their families? Where did all these people come from? Rong Yuanhang and Long Yurou asked casually while walking on the dirty alleyway.
Long Yurou said: "These are the slaves of my Wang family, most of them were refugees from the war before, and the composition is complicated, and they were bought from the Black Iron City. Some dragged their families with their mouths. It's very peaceful, as long as there is food for them to eat.
"Oh, and there are still human traffickers in Blackiron City?"
Long Yurou glanced at him strangely and asked, "Where is there no trafficker?" Even our Tianshou country has human traffickers. The Yan family is the biggest human trafficker! β
At this moment, two children, one older and one younger, chased each other, and the one in front was a little boy of five or six years old, who ran too hard, and accidentally tripped over a raised stone on the ground when they passed by Rong Yuanhang. Seeing that he was about to fall into a hungry dog poop, Rong Yuanhang caught him in a flash.
Despite this, the little boy burst into tears.
"Kids, don't cry." Rong Yuanhang coaxed him and smiled. The slightly older boy who chased after him saw Rong Yuanhang and Long Yurou, knowing their identities, but he didn't dare to approach.
At this time, a woman hurriedly ran over, threw herself on the ground, knelt on her knees, and kowtowed to Rong Yuanhang: "Damn it, the slave didn't bring a good child, and offended the two adults!" β
"Get up!" Rong Yuanhang used a gentle force to lift her up out of thin air, making her kneel down, and said, "It's okay, the child is very cute, and he didn't offend us." β
"Yes, yes," said the woman, with trepidation on her face.
Rong Yuanhang glanced at her depressedly, and asked the little boy with a pleasant face, "Little friend, what's your name?" β
The boy was full of tigers, and his big eyes were full of curiosity, but he did not answer his words.
"Dead child, what do adults ask you about, answer quickly!" The flesh of the woman's lip on the boy's arm twisted suddenly......
"Ouch......" The little boy was in pain, and opened his mouth wide to cry.
"What are you doing here? He didn't do anything wrong, you fight too? Rong Yuanhang protected the little boy with some heartache, glared at the woman unhappily, stroked the little boy's head and coaxed: "Don't cry, don't cry......"
touched his body, took out a piece of green arrow chewing gum and handed it to him and said, "This is for you to play with, but you can't swallow your stomach, you know?" Rong Yuanhang likes to carry some chewing gum with him, but now he regrets not bringing candy with him.
"He's a slave's child, thank you, sir!" The woman pursed her lips timidly.
"It's okay," Rong Yuanhang waved his hand, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Uncle Sir, can you eat this?" The little boy suddenly raised the gum in his hand and asked suddenly.
Rong Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You can put it in your mouth and chew it, but that scum can't be swallowed, understand?" I'll bring you candy to eat. β
"Thank you, Uncle Sir, my name is Tiewa......"
β¦β¦
In the evening, in a wide courtyard in the stone courtyard, Rong Yuanhang, Xiao Xue, Wang Guangming, Long Yurou, Wang Ruonan and Wang Guanglin Gu Panpan were a total of seven couples. They were all tenants living in the stone head courtyard, and they were now eating dinner around a large round table.
Because the weather was too hot, the courtyard was cooler, so the dining table was moved here. Everyone ate together, and it was very lively.
The meals were not rich, there were very few fresh sparse dishes, and there were some meat dishes on the table that even Rong Yuanhang had never eaten. "What kind of meat is this?" He asked, picking up a piece of gray meat with his chopsticks.
Gu Panpan smiled and said, "Is this this? Hehe, isn't it crispy and sweet? β
"Uh......" Rong Yuanhang was speechless. The texture was still crisp, but not necessarily sweet, and he only smelled a hint of smoke.
"This is Triceratops, what you are eating now is the tongue meat of Triceratops," Gu Panpan said with a smile on his face, revealing his snow-white teeth: "The one we met in the western south forest last month was so big that we can't eat it until now!" β
"Triceratops...... Grandma San, do you mean dinosaurs? Rong Yuanhang said with wide eyes.
Creatures that only existed in ancient times on earth abound in this world. Dinosaurs are one of them. Rong Yuanhang has also seen countless dinosaurs in the black and white world.
Dinosaurs are divided into many types, and some dinosaurs are extremely powerful, such as the crocodile-kissing dragon, whose attack ability is no less than that of the best spirit beasts.
Rong Yuanhang also knew that the Triceratops was a creature: as the name suggests, the head of the Triceratops dinosaur had a pair of horns, and the horns on the nose bulge were combined to form a triangle. The creature has a large skull, and the back of the skull is spread out in a semicircle like a sunflower fan. It is obese, powerful, and sluggish. Adult triceratops were generally twelve meters long and three meters tall. It weighs more than ten tons.
Rong Yuanhang didn't expect that what he ate turned out to be the tongue of a triceratops.
At this time, Long Yurou asked in a loud voice, "Is this strange?" β
"Ugh. I haven't eaten anything like this. Rong Yuanhang said that if he told his friends on the earth that he had eaten dinosaur meat, I am afraid that no one would believe it.
"It's too difficult to supply in the mine, so we have to be self-reliant," Wang said. Feeding more than 5,000 people is a big problem, and the drought here is unusually good, and the crops are very small. So we can only form a beast trapping team. The proceeds of hunting are used to feed thousands of people. β
The slave girls in the mines grew crops, but they were in the low-lying area at the foot of the mountains, twenty miles away, and they relied on daily water from a stream in the forest. Domestic water is also taken from mountain streams.
Dozens of people were transported back from the foot of the mountain twenty miles away, but the supply of such water was not in short supply, so the water in the camp was very tight, and some miners even took a bath once every few days, not to mention the clothes.
Long Yurou once reminded Rong Yuanhang to save some water. There are two people in the stone courtyard, and the healthy women go to a distance to fetch water for their use. But every time Rong Yuanhang uses an extra bucket of water, the two subordinates have to walk 40 miles, especially the back and forth climb up and down the mountain, which is very hard, which directly adds a lot of burden to people.
"Tell the Chief," said a doorman, and everyone turned their heads to look......
The man said to Wang Guanglin: "Master General Affairs, the captain of the Wenxiu squad outside has already come, do you want to announce her to enter the door?" β
"Wenxiu?" When Rong Yuanhang heard this, his heart suddenly burst out.
"Well, tell her to come in." Wang Guanglin said lightly.
"Yes." Menzi respectfully turned away.
When 'Wenxiu' was mentioned, whether it was Wang Ruonan, Long Yurou, Gu Panpan or Wang Guangming, everyone glanced at Rong Yuanhang thoughtfully, and they all knew what was going on, only Xiao Xue was still in the dark.
After a while, a jade-like beauty carried a large bag and a small bag into the door, and suddenly saw so many people in the courtyard, and couldn't help but walk over, standing timidly three meters away from the dining table.
"Lord Steward, Wenxiu is here to report." The beauty is none other than Wenxiu, the squad leader of the women's battalion.
"Well, sit down, have you eaten?" Wang Guanglin asked.
"Uh...... Eaten. Wen Xiu's face flushed again, and she secretly glanced at Rong Yuanhang. In fact, she hadn't eaten dinner at the moment, but so many 'bosses' were here, which made her very nervous.
Wang Guanglin turned his head to Rong Yuanhang and smiled: "Yuanhang, even if you like this little girl Wenxiu, let her serve you in the future, right?" β
"Huh?" Rong Yuanhang looked stunned and said, "I just mentioned it casually, and I really came here?" β
"Do you like it or not?" Gu Panpan said to him jokingly: "Wenxiu is a master of the Martial Sect. Talented, only twenty-nine years old this year, aren't you still satisfied with her being your personal maid? β
"This, I didn't mean that......" Rong Yuanhang's heart blossomed. But he had to pretend to be calm.
"Smack!" Suddenly, Xiao Xue, who was sitting silently at the dining table, put her chopsticks vigorously on the dining surface, making a loud noise. Everyone looked at her in amazement.
I saw Xiao Xue stand up suddenly, pause and stop, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Secretly: What's wrong with me? Where did such a big anger come from?
"Mrs. Xiao, what are you doing?" Gu Panpan looked at her meaningfully and asked.
"I, I...... No, it's fine. Xiao Xue was a little at a loss. Rong Yuanhang saw her looking panicked in front of everyone, and couldn't help but feel pity, and asked strangely, "Mother-in-law, is there anything wrong with you?" If you don't want to say it, maybe everyone can help you? β
"I ......" Xiao Xue closed her eyelids, as if to cheer herself up, and then opened them suddenly, and said, "Yuanhang, why do you want so many women?" β
"What?" Rong Yuanhang was really stunned, this question was so abrupt.
Everyone was also stunned by her strange behavior. looked at her inexplicably.
At this time, Xiao Xue was strongly dissatisfied in her heart! ββShe was sent to this distant Dongtaizhou by the patriarch Wang Guangen with a word, and she was separated from a son and a daughter in the family for a long time, and her husband had just died at that time, and she couldn't wait by her two children's side, which made her secretly full of resentment.
But there is no way, Xiao Xue of the family can't listen to it. Fortunately, at this time, the son-in-law of Rong Yuanhang often comforted herself gently and considerately, so that her heart was calm, and gradually developed an inexplicable dependence on this son-in-law.
However, within a few days, it was found that Wang Ziyan also came with him on the spaceship, and later won the approval of the elders. Developed into a fiancΓ©e relationship with Rong Yuanhang!
But Xiao Xue, as Wang Yan's mother and Rong Yuanhang's mother-in-law, was helpless about this matter, and no one even asked her opinion. You must know that Wang Ziyan and her husband are figures of the same generation, where do you put yourself? Is it a mother-in-law or should I call myself a sister-in-law?
Not getting the respect they deserve. She thought to herself that she was a dispensable woman in the Wang family, just a vassal, a poor worm who could be used and called around at any time.
Now, Wang Guanglin, as the elder of the clan, has arranged a beautiful and charming woman for Rong Yuanhang as a personal maid. She was suddenly jealous and couldn't help but burst out......
At this time, Xiao Xue also knew that she was too Meng Lang, so she said politely: "Yuanhang, I don't think you need to use a girl, right?" Anyway, I have nothing to do here, why don't I take on this job and I take care of you, okay? β
"What?" Rong Yuanhang's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a while. But I muttered in my heart, your old man is my mother-in-law, how can I let you take care of it? The reverse is pretty much the same. But seeing her pitiful pleading gaze, I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart, and I couldn't speak anymore.
"I'll be your girl, okay?" Xiao Xue said angrily.
"What is this, what is this," Rong Yuanhang smiled bitterly, she didn't understand why Xiao Xue had such an abnormal behavior.
"Can't you?" Xiao Xue approached step by step, and said with a cold face: "If you don't agree, then I am equivalent to a waste here, it is better to die." β
Rong Yuanhang was shocked, he had never seen Xiao Xue angry, but now her face was cold, but it was very imposing, which made him feel the pressure that he didn't have. Hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" How can I let you serve me? β
"Why don't you want to? Do you have to be this foxy woman? Xiao Xue pointed at Wen Xiu, and her tone was very cold. The latter couldn't help but change his face when he heard her call herself a 'fox woman'.
"Alright."
At this time, Gu Panpan waved his way, his voice was very soft, and then said: "It's all a family, where did you get so much anger?" "Wenxiu, you go back to the camp first, here...... I don't think Elder Rong needs you anymore. She turned her head again and said to Wenxiu, who was standing aside, angrily.
"Yes, old lady." Wenxiu carried a big bag and a small bag and left without looking back.
"Sit down." After Wen Xiu left, Gu Panpan pressed his hand and asked Xiao Xue to sit down. After she sat down, Gu Panpan said again: "Mrs. Xiao, my old woman knows your mood. β
She pondered for a moment, sighed and said, "Alas......, since this is the case, then you can move over and live with Yuanhang, anyway, you are also a family." β
"Thank you for the third grandmother!" Xiao Xue stood up again and saluted, but at this moment, her face was flushed! This is a cheeky 'errand', and there are so many people staring at her, which can't help but make her extremely embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
