Chapter 387: Self-Improvement (I)
After helping the most reluctant woman get rid of the marks on her arms, Chu Tianjiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This work is much more difficult than Chu Tianjiang imagined. It is not difficult to remove the mark, the problem is that the color of the new skin is completely different from the skin of other parts of the body, it is a tender red. Even when exposed to the sun, it takes nearly a month to become exactly the same skin as the rest of the body. The reason is that the replacement cycle of human skin tissue is 22 days, and the color can not be changed until the new skin tissue is replaced. For this reason, Chu Tianjiang had to use his energy body to generate strong light radiation, and only irradiate new skin tissue.
What's even more troublesome is that Chu Tianjiang can't let Connie and the others know their true abilities.
For this reason, Chu Tianjiang asked Nicol and the others to vacate a minibus, and also painted all the windows and front and rear windshields with mud from the bottom of the river. After each woman enters the minibus, Nicol makes her drink a glass of water and falsely claims that there is an anesthetic in it, and then Nicole uses the energy body to make her fall asleep. When Chu Tianjiang was finished, Nichol poured cold water on it and woke the woman up from her sleep.
This had an unexpected effect.
That is, the silt could not completely block the strong light generated by the energy body, so to Connie and the others who stayed outside the car, it did look like magic.
Stripped of the mark of slavery, Connie and the others became truly free men.
In any case, there were no "ID cards" or "social security cards" to prove their identity, and no one took expensive film to take pictures of slaves. The only thing that can prove the identity of the slave is the mark on the arm and a contract of sale with a signature and seal.
Without a mark, they are naturally free people, that is, commonly known as commoners.
It's just that to become a real free person in this troubled world, it is definitely not as simple as not having a mark.
When Chu Tianjiang came out of the barri, Rachel had already lit the bonfire, and several women were busy roasting a huge argali. This argali, which Kelly hunted dozens of kilometers away in the evening, weighed more than 100 catties, enough to fill the bellies of fifty women.
"I heard, you're going to take them in?"
"You shouldn't have asked me about this." Chu Tianjiang pulled Rachel over and made her sit on her lap, "I should ask Nichol and Chloe." ”
"I asked, but if you don't have that in mind, it's useless for them to say anything."
"What, jealous?"
"Do you think the old lady's spiritual will is so fragile? If you have another woman every time, the old lady will be jealous, and she will already become a vinegar jar. Rachel smiled, lowered her head, and whispered in Chu Tianjiang's ear, "I'm worried about you, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand so much." ”
Chu Tianjiang rolled his eyes and said, "It's not a question of whether it can be withdrew, but it's impossible." I didn't have any feelings for them, and I didn't have any experiences that led to them. If we meet a beautiful woman, we have to take it for ourselves, and I am afraid that our valley home will have to expand tenfold. ”
"And how are you going to settle them?"
"Let's see."
"See?" Rachel twisted Chu Tianjiang's nose. "If you look at it, I guarantee that you can see the problem, and maybe you can see the feelings."
Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "Okay, you go and call Connie and ask her what she thinks." ”
"Remember, you can't have more than ten wives."
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and said, "So, there is only one place?" ”
"Wrong, none of them are gone, neither more nor achievable, you have used up all the clear amounts. Unless you get rid of Clara or Anna, ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, go get Connie here." Chu Tianjiang patted Rachel's buttocks and pushed her up.
A short time later, Rachel brought Connie over. In addition to Michelle and Kelly, who went to guard outside, Nichole and the others also came to Chu Tianjiang's side.
"How's it going, are you still dizzy?"
"It's okay, thank you." Chu Tianjiang will become "magic" and turn them into free people, and Connie's attitude towards him has also changed greatly.
"Now, you're all free men. I heard that they all listen to you, and I want to know what you think. ”
Connie glanced at Chu Tianjiang, looking a little hesitant.
"Let's put it this way, we're going to Denver, maybe a few days in Salt Lake City. You can leave now, any day before we arrive in Denver, or after you arrive in Denver. If you don't stay in Salt Lake City or Denver, I can get you to follow the caravan to Houston and allow you to leave at any time, and the caravan people will never stop you. ”
Connie turned her gaze to Chu Tianjiang again, only this time more sharply. "You're going to do it as if you didn't save us."
"You are already free men, and I have given you freedom."
"Do you think that freedom is the most important thing in this world?"
Chu Tianjiang was stunned, he really couldn't answer this question.
"For weak women like us, freedom is poison, and it is a chronic poison that does not kill us immediately and makes us tormented."
Chu Tianjiang had to admit that Connie's words were very reasonable. "Well, what's your idea?"
"Let's join!"
"Join the caravan? Yes, I'll arrange it, and you can all get ......"
"No, not to join the caravan, but to join your team."
"Our team?"
"I know you're not a merchant, you're not even a freelance mercenary, you're not a caravan guard, but you have a strong team." Connie's gaze swept over Nichole and the others beside Chu Tianjiang one by one. "They told me about you."
"They?" Chu Tianjiang immediately looked back at Nichol. Not Nichol, because she had been assisting Chu Tianjiang to remove the marks on those women's shoulders. It won't be Rachel and Maya, because they don't know Connie very well. It shouldn't have been Chloe and Isabella, as they started to watch outside. Then, the only ones who can tell Connie are Michelle and Kelly, who are on guard outside at this time.
"They say you saved them not long ago, and they follow you."
"But you're not like them."
"I know they're all very powerful, even better than the strongest men I've ever seen, and they're so powerful about you. I'm not as good as them now, but I'll learn. I know how to use a rifle, I have good marksmanship, and I have slaughtered poultry and livestock. Even if I were asked to kill, I could do it. I can also do laundry and cooking, and I can do a lot of things, and so do everyone else. ”
Chu Tianjiang sighed, he obviously couldn't tell Connie how Nicol was different from her.
"You can take them in, why can't you take us in?"
"Connie, you learned that they are not just my men, to be precise, they are not my men."
"What's that?"
Chu Tianjiang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "These things, one or two sentences are not clear at all. ”
"We're afraid we'll have to stay here for a few days, you can take your time."
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and he felt like he couldn't cry or laugh. "Actually, you're also very capable, and you can do a lot of things that Nicol can't do......"
"Then take us."
"Connie ......"
"Since you have saved us and given us freedom, do you want to push us into the fire pit again?"
Chu Tianjiang was silent, this is the truth. Even if they were to follow the caravan, it would not be safe, because there was no guarantee that Stewart's caravan would always be there. As far as Chu Tianjiang knew, the maids in the caravan were actually slaves, but slaves of higher status. Even without considering the possibility of the caravan being looted, the Chamber of Commerce has the right to disband the caravan returning to Houston and redistribute the caravan maids. Letting Connie and the others follow the caravan is tantamount to making them slaves again, leaving their fate in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce.
"If you're not willing to take us in, you'd better let us stay here."
"For what?"
"Let us fend for ourselves. It is much better to die in the wilderness than to be a slave again. ”
"Connie ......"
"Otherwise, take us in and let us join your team."
Chu Tianjiang sighed and asked for Nikol's opinion with his eyes. Obviously, Nicol won't object, Maya won't object, the key is Rachel.
Rachel pursed her mouth, didn't say anything, and didn't communicate with Chu Tianjiang through consciousness.
Chu Tianjiang knew that Rachel might be reluctant, but she was kind by nature, and the things Connie said were indeed unavoidable facts. If they were left here, or if they were to be sent somewhere else, whether it was Salt Lake City, or Denver or Houston, or any other city, they would not have a good time, and perhaps they would be reduced to slavery again before long.
What to do?
When Chu Tianjiang turned his gaze back, he saw tears welling up from Connie's eyes, and he also saw other women walking nearby.
At this moment, Chu Tianjiang suddenly thought that he did not save them, but harmed them.
If they are allowed to follow Perez back to Denver, with their appearance, even if they can't become the personal favorites of the powerful, they can become the top brand of a luxury nightclub. Although they have lost their freedom and will be ravaged, at least until the glory is gone, they will not have to worry about food and clothing, nor have security concerns, and they can live a stable life for a few years, or even more than ten years. But now, they have no choice. Either stay here and die, or live in fear in the city or in the caravan, living in fear that you may be reduced to slavery again at any moment.
Husband, take them! Rachel relented first.
Immediately, Nicol and the others also told Chu Tianjiang through their consciousness and asked Chu Tianjiang to take them in, even if it was just to treat them like maids.
Chu Tianjiang already had a problem of "soft-heartedness", and since Nicol had no opinion, he naturally had no other reason.
