17 The life of slaves

When the spirit beast eagle caught Jiang Xiaomiao and left, a large group of children were frightened, and they all thought that the spirit beast of the fairy family had caught the children to eat, so they scattered in a hurry, giving up the plan to go to the fairy gate to find something to eat. Of course, the disciples of the Spirit Beast Palace who were in charge of the selection were also very frightened, they knew that the seven-clawed golden flame eagle was going crazy, and even the elders were afraid that they would not be able to deal with it, so they quickly took out the magic weapon to warn and asked the sect to send someone to deal with it.

In the chaos, Jiang Xiaomiao felt that there was nothing to be afraid of, because she was used to playing with Derpy, and she didn't think the seven-clawed golden flame eagle was anything scary. When the adult golden flame eagle threw Jiang Xiaomiao in its nest, Jiang Xiaomiao saw three cute birds, each about the size of an adult goat, with unkempt hair, a beak that had not yet grown, and round eyes. The chicks and Jiang Xiaomiao are now about the same height, and they are chirping and waiting for their mother to bring food, and when they see Jiang Xiaomiao, they retreat instead.

Jiang Xiaomiao knew that this was a nestling that was scared, but Jiang Xiaomiao, who had always gotten along well with small animals, was very good about small animals, she saw a large comb in the nest at a glance, and immediately coaxed the nestlings to come over, picked up the comb to help the birds sort out their feathers, and the three chicks liked it very much. Seeing that Jiang Xiaomiao was not afraid of her child at all, the adult bird suddenly threw a dead, deer-like animal carcass at her feet. That's the food she gives to her children.

Jiang Xiaomiao understood the thoughts of the seven-clawed golden flame eagle, but when she saw that there was no knife or anything like that in the nest, she immediately said to the adult bird: "Get a knife, otherwise I won't be able to tear the meat with such a small strength." ”

The adult seven-clawed golden flame eagle understood what Jiang Xiaomiao meant, and she took it out of her feathers. A sharp beast claw fell, and I don't know what kind of unlucky demon beast was eaten, and the bones were collected by the seven-clawed golden flame eagle. After all, Jiang Xiaomiao was a person who had been a monk, and when she picked up the beast bone claw that only had white bones left, she knew that this was a good thing, and it was a good treasure that could refine medium-grade magic weapons. It seems that this immortal sect spirit bird has a very high ability, and even such a powerful demon beast can kill and eat meat.

Jiang Xiaomiao used the animal's claws as a knife to divide the entire animal carcass into small pieces and distribute them relatively evenly to the three chicks. I don't want to mention any knife work, I worked as a little nurse and watched autopsy. A girl who likes to cook again. It's easy to do something like that. The body of a demon beast was divided, and the three chicks seemed to be full, Jiang Xiaomiao took some ready-made spirit plants and a few small fruits by the nest to feed the chicks. Taking care of baby birds must be nutritional, and the combination of meat and vegetables is reasonable.

The adult bird seven-clawed golden flame eagle witnessed Jiang Xiaomiao's actions. Seems satisfied. It tugged at its feathers again. Some of the broken silver fell to the ground of the bird's nest. Jiang Xiaomiao looked at those mundane things that she had long looked down on, and asked the adult seven-clawed golden flame eagle with her eyes open, "For me?" ”

The adult seven-clawed golden flame eagle nodded majestically, and only then did several monks suddenly come to the bird's nest. One of them saw Jiang Xiaomiao standing in the bird's nest in a good manner, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the adult bird seven-clawed golden flame eagle: "Lord Feng, you chose this girl to be a slave to serve a few little adults?" ”

The adult seven-clawed golden flame eagle roared, and his voice was very strange, but it seemed to be speaking, but Jiang Xiaomiao, a mortal, couldn't understand it. After the bird call was over, the monk nodded, and then said to Jiang Xiaomiao: "Lord Feng likes you and chose you as a slave, every day Lord Feng will go out to cultivate, bring back some demon beast meat and other things to feed the child, and you will be responsible for taking care of several little adults on the days when she is out." The sect will give you ten taels of silver as wages, and the things that Lord Feng will reward you will also be. The term is three years, and after three years, several little adults are adults, and you can be an errand boy, and your job will be accepted. ”

Jiang Xiaomiao was dumbfounded when he heard that he wanted to make a slave with a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, why did he inexplicably become a mortal little girl after being eaten by the Wangshan Fang, and he had to be a breeder of spirit beasts for some reason, what the hell is this, he is very busy, and he can't afford to delay for three years.

Before she could say, "No, I don't want to feed slaves," the monk didn't give her a chance to explain, and took her under the tree with a gentle lift, and then Jiang Xiaomiao knew how tall and big the tree was nesting. The tree was at least fifteen stories tall, and the trunk must have been seventy or eighty square meters in size. It seems that the ability of the seven-clawed golden flame eagle is also very powerful, Jiang Xiaomiao feels that even if he is a monk with a sixth-layer foundation, he can't beat the seven-clawed golden flame eagle. This fact made Jiang Xiaomiao a little discouraged, it seems that this slave still has to be a slave, but the salary of only ten taels of silver seems to be a little less, Jiang Xiaomiao hopes to improve the treatment.

The monk who took Jiang Xiaomiao down the bird's nest was regarded as an outward disciple with status in the Seven Realms Mountain Sect, so he didn't care what Jiang Xiaomiao thought, he just pointed to a shack-like house under the big tree and said, "You live under the tree, and you can wait for Lord Feng to send you at any time." Your silver taels can be put in this Ruyi bag, which was voluntarily bought by Lord Feng with Yulu, which can hold ten liters of rice noodles, and you have to walk for a long time to go to the food distribution building, and you can save yourself from always walking when the Ruyi bag is full. ”

Seeing a palm-sized bag hanging around his neck by the outer disciple, Jiang Xiaomiao understood that this was a treasure like a fresh bag, which was used by immortal cultivators for mortals. That seven-clawed golden flame eagle is called the Wind Lord, and there is also a lot of money to take, which is really interesting. What's even more interesting is that the monk heard the sound of Jiang Xiaomiao's stomach growling, so he smiled and picked up Jiang Xiaomiao and flew some distance to the so-called food distribution building.

As a slave, Jiang Xiaomiao's food standard is six steamed buns a day, two plates of vegetarian dishes, plus a bowl of porridge and a small amount of pickles. If you want to eat well, take the silver, and there are all kinds of delicacies in the mortal world in the food distribution building, as well as demon beast meat that nourishes the mortal body for sale. Most of the slaves were paid only three or five taels of silver, and they had to save it to take home to subsidize the family, so most of those children would not buy these foods. Slaves were given two sets of coarse cloth clothes in each season, jackets in spring and autumn, short and thin jackets in summer, and cotton jackets in winter. Most of the slaves cherished these clothes, and some of them would try to save a few clothes to take back to the mortal world for sale. Therefore, the other slaves Jiang Xiaomiao saw were all dressed in shabby clothes like Hanako.

Jiang Xiaomiao hadn't had such a hard life for a long time, and it was very sad to look at a group of children who looked like beggars. The monk saw that Jiang Xiaomiao was also dressed in shabby, and couldn't help but say: "You little girl is lucky, Lord Feng likes you very much, not only gave you a salary of ten taels of silver, but also bought a Ruyi bag worth one hundred taels of silver for you." You work hard, and when you get paid at the end of the month, you can buy some delicious food and make a new outfit. I know your name is Xiao Lingzi and you are an orphan. You don't have to save money for your family. ”

Jiang Xiaomiao looked at this outer disciple. Said leisurely: "Uncle, I want to save money to go out to buy land and collect rent, I am very short of money, and I will probably be more picky than those children who have families." ”

The disciple finally couldn't help but laugh. said to Jiang Xiaomiao: "You are such an interesting child. All right. If you can save enough five hundred taels of silver in three years, I will ask the disciples outside to help you buy a small village to back you up. Aspiring children are liked. It's just that you've lived a hard life for three years, can you do it? ”

Jiang Xiaomiao looked at this disciple and said very seriously: "Uncle, the salary for three years is only three hundred and sixty taels, and I still have to earn one hundred and forty taels, even if I sell all my clothes, I can't make up the remaining one hundred and forty taels with my bare butt all year round." Uncle, could you please tell me what kind of money I can make as a slave? Lord Wind has already rewarded me with a wishful bag, and I'm too embarrassed to ask her for a reward. ”

After hearing this, the outer disciple looked at Jiang Xiaomiao, the more interesting he felt, he pretended to be thinking, and then replied: "Slaves must wait to do things at any time, and they can't go far, otherwise they can go to the surrounding forests to collect ordinary medicinal materials for money." I have a mortal pharmacopoeia here, do you want it? ”

Jiang Xiaomiao stretched out his hand with a smile and said to the outer disciple, "Kind fairy uncle, thank you." You treat me so kindly as a mortal, you must be a very virtuous immortal, and you will definitely fly to the immortal world in the future. ”

Thousands of clothes are worn, and the sycophants are not worn, the outer disciple was embarrassed by Jiang Xiaomiao's praise, and really gave Jiang Xiaomiao a copy of the pharmacopoeia brought outside, and asked the steward of the food distribution building to take more care of Jiang Xiaomiao. Most of the outer disciples have to deal with mortals, and they have to deal with money and mundane affairs, and they must be in charge of mortals, seeing the appearance of the fat steward, Jiang Xiaomiao knows that he will definitely be taken care of in the future.

After Jiang Xiaomiao thanked the disciple, he learned that this monk's surname was Xiong, and he was in charge of taking care of the spirit beast.

Jiang Xiaomiao was valued by the monk surnamed Xiong, and the salary he received was also the highest class, and the mortal fat steward of the food distribution building also looked at it. The steamed buns he gave to Jiang Xiaomiao were very large, and there were more porridges than others, and there were a few shredded meat in them. For this reason, Jiang Xiaomiao said some good things to please the fat steward, and inquired about the situation by the way. After a few words, Jiang Xiaomiao inquired from the side, Steward Xiong was an eighth-level Qi cultivator, responsible for managing the sundries of the Spirit Beast Palace, and was a distant relative of an elder of the sect, and he was quite respected in the outer gate.

After eating, Jiang Xiaomiao's stomach was also full, and with eighteen large steamed buns converted into three days' meals, some pickles, some fresh vegetables, some rice, and two pots, Jiang Xiaomiao went home. When I came home, I saw that my shack was small but very clean, and there were two sets of seasonal jackets in a small wardrobe in the shack.

Jiang Xiaomiao is tired, as a mortal little girl, she is very tired just by walking ten miles to come back under the big tree, and it is normal to fall asleep. There was no word all night, and at four o'clock in the morning, a burst of birdsong woke up Jiang Xiaomiao. Lord Feng is going out on an errand, and the slave Xiao Lingzi is going to work.

Jiang Xiaomiao looked at the sky that was still very dark, and was helplessly taken to the bird's nest by Lord Feng, and the birds were still sleeping, so Jiang Xiaomiao got into the nestlings and huddled together to take whom. The chicks seemed to like her very much, and let her sleep.

When the day was bright, Jiang Xiaomiao rubbed her eyes and got up, at this time she felt that the smell of this nest was very bad, she began to clean the nest slowly, let the chicks help together, pushed the bird droppings and everything down the tree, and then picked up the big comb, combed the feathers of each bird, and cleaned up the little ones very energetically. Of course, in the process of cleaning, Jiang Xiaomiao also picked up yesterday's reward from Lord Feng, there are more than three taels, although the mosquito is small, it is also meat, Jiang Xiaomiao cherishes these labor incomes.

After that, Lord Wind suddenly returned with a snake demon beast in his mouth, and this must have been the breakfast of the chicks. Jiang Xiaomiao dealt with it with his own hands, and everything else is easy to say, but how to divide the snake gall? Jiang Xiaomiao glanced at Lord Feng, put the snake gall to her mouth and said: "The hardest thing to be an old lady, this snake gall, I am in charge, the children don't eat it, give it to you." ”

As soon as Jiang Xiaomiao said this, the three chicks chirped in agreement, and Lord Feng swallowed the snake gall and flew away. Jiang Xiaomiao was dirty, but she couldn't take a bath, so she could only endure it. When he was hungry, he could only take out the steamed buns in the Ruyi bag and eat two without absorbing them, the birds looked greedy, and Jiang Xiaomiao had no choice but to say: "You also want to taste it?" ”

The three chicks nodded hurriedly, so Jiang Xiaomiao's steamed buns were unlucky, the nine steamed buns were eaten up by the chicks, and Jiang Xiaomiao's meal for a day and a half was gone. Jiang Xiaomiao is very sad, it seems that I have to buy something to eat after work today, and I should be able to buy a lot of steamed buns for three taels of silver.

After the chicks were full, they began to sleep, and Jiang Xiaomiao began to meditate when she had nothing to do, which was her habit of being a monk, and now she had nothing to do. Jiang Xiaomiao's body is too wasteful now, and he can't support it after meditating for an hour, just when Lord Feng came back, this time he brought back a particularly large saber-toothed pig demon beast, and there are many small red fruits.

Putting down the prey, Lord Feng flew away, and it was estimated that he would not come back until the evening, Jiang Xiaomiao decomposed the saber-toothed pig demon beast, but this time she did it with her heart. Senior Brother Chen Yongyi said that she wanted to understand the body structure of demon beasts by dissecting demon beasts, but she can't practice now, and in the name of a slave, she learns how to be a puppeteer from doing things, which is also a sustenance in boring work.

The chicks couldn't get such a big saber-toothed pig demon beast at night, and Jiang Xiaomiao wrapped the pigskin with some of the remaining minced meat and planned to get off work. But when Lord Feng sent Jiang Xiaomiao under the tree, he took down the excess and gave it to Jiang Xiaomiao. Jiang Xiaomiao was a little moved, there is something delicious tonight, and it is cost-effective to exchange steamed buns for meat. (To be continued.) )
