Chapter 448: Les Miserables
Jiang Liu and the others have been living in fear in this indigenous tribe in the past few days, and the food distributed to them by these savages can only be eaten hard.
After all, no matter what kind of meat they give them, they have to eat it, because only by conserving their physical strength, they can still fight when they encounter danger.
The negotiations did not go smoothly, and the weapons and equipment were all killed and would not be handed over.
Moreover, during the negotiations, the platoon commander also revealed to these natives very cleverly that they had a lot of people, and as long as they did not return on time, their companions would definitely come to him.
The natives, who had seen the power of Qi people's weapons, were obviously a little afraid of this situation.
Facing an extremely strange race, and this race seems to be very strong.
For the sake of prudence, the natives did not use force against Jiang Liu and others.
A few days later, for some reason, the attitude of the natives changed again.
If Jiang Liu and others were under house arrest a few days ago, this time, they have greater freedom.
The natives allowed them to move freely among their tribes.
A day later, the natives did not mention anything about exchanging weapons.
Instead, he sent a few women and some precious-looking items to Jiang Liu and the others.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, in this precarious state, how can anyone think about these things.
Jiang Liu and the others didn't touch the women who looked like slaves, but they didn't return them either.
They wanted to ask more about the situation of this tribe from these slave girls.
Seven or eight slave girls, visibly a little nervous in the face of strangely dressed strangers.
Curled up on the ground shivering.
"Do you have anything to eat? Give them points. ”
The platoon commander said in a deep voice.
They distributed the few rations of dry food to the women.
Qi Ren's actions obviously surprised the female slave girl.
Although they hadn't seen Qi people's fried noodles, it was obvious that this thing should be eaten.
The situation is a little different than they imagined.
In their eyes, their fate is a tool to be pressed on their bodies by countless men to vent.
Even if he dies, he will not be sad for a while.
And now these strangers, whom they have never met, will actually give food to such a lowly person as them.
The slave girls were suddenly a little overwhelmed and stared blankly at the food in front of them.
"Let's eat!"
The platoon leader said, gesturing to eat.
It may have been starving for too long, and the hunger in the belly of the slave girls overcame the fear in their hearts, and they scrambled to snatch up the little food.
Looking at the murderous eating appearance of these women, everyone couldn't help but show a trace of sympathy.
Slaves are creatures that have disappeared in Qi for a long time.
For those of them who have grown up in the new era, it is hard to imagine that a person can be humbled to such an extent.
Although the life of Qi people is not good, but after the initial solution of food and clothing, human instinctive emotions will be highlighted.
Sympathy for the weak may be an important manifestation of the further improvement of civilization.
Civilization and barbarism are at this point in stark distinction.
The team members did not disturb the slave girls eating, and sat aside and watched silently.
After the food was eaten, the slave girls were a little dazed, not knowing what the men would do next.
The platoon commander swept over these naked ** women, and finally stopped his gaze on a thin figure that didn't look so cringe.
"Come here!"
The platoon commander beckoned to her.
The thin woman's body trembled slightly, but finally she got up and walked with a numb expression.
In the astonished gaze of everyone, the woman lay straight on the ground, her legs almost instinctively parted, and at this time, there was no trace of a living expression on her face, only endless numbness.
The hearts of everyone watching this scene tightened, and this was an instinctive reaction formed by how many times they had been abused.
The thin woman in front of her, although she still breathes and has a heartbeat, her soul may be dead.
The platoon commander sighed and walked towards the woman.
The woman felt a large rough hand grasp her arm, and her closed eyes trembled slightly, but in the end there was no other reaction.
But after waiting for a moment, the woman did not feel someone entering her body.
Instead, a calm voice sounded in her ear.
"Get up!"
The woman opened her eyes and saw that the man who had called her over was looking at her with a gaze that she had never felt before.
For some reason, the moment she met this gaze, an inexplicable emotion came to her mind.
I don't know how many years of torture, miserable life, and all kinds of sufferings in the past flashed in her mind in an instant.
Unwillingness, grievance, resentment, and finally turned into two lines of tears in the corners of the eyes.
The platoon commander helped the woman to her feet and gently patted the woman's mud-stained back.
Inside the slightly crowded tent, there was only the whispered sobs of women.
Jiang Liu and others did not disturb the woman to vent her sadness.
They don't know what kind of ordeal these people have suffered, and perhaps their own unpleasant experiences seem so insignificant compared to them.
After a long time, the woman stopped crying.
His eyes also regained some of the brilliance that a living person should have.
"Let's finish crying, let's talk when we're done crying!"
The platoon commander said in a deep voice.
The woman looked at the platoon commander with some blankness.
During this time, it was difficult to communicate with the natives.
Jiang Liu and others have mastered the skills of gestures and painting to communicate without a teacher.
The platoon commander wanted to ask them who they were and why they were slaves.
But it's not easy to say such a simple sentence in different languages.
Communication was difficult, but the platoon commander was patient.
Although the woman's answer was not fully understood, it was generally clear that they had been captured by the tribe from somewhere else.
Qi people did not hurt them, and gradually let these women let down their guards and cooperate with the inquiry as much as possible.
But as slaves, they obviously don't know much.
The platoon commander had intended to get a suggested map out of their mouths, but it was clear that this kind of thing was too difficult for these slave girls.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the natives, the questioning did not last long.
It's just that when returning these women, the platoon commander's heart suddenly moved, and she decided to exchange these women, these women are just slaves.
Whether it's humanitarian or for some reason, he feels he should do it.
When the natives learned that these women had been able to exchange for a glittering dagger, they couldn't believe their ears.
These female slaves were not of much value, and they were given to these strangers only for the purpose of friendship, because they had already sent someone to check on the place that the Qi people had said.
The strength of this strange tribe is obviously beyond their imagination, since they can't be friends, they must not be enemies, otherwise they will bring a devastating blow to their tribe.
