Chapter 36: The Fighting Ground
Ye Xi went back to her yard, bathed and changed, changed her clothes, and handed the blood-stained dress to Lan Yun and asked her to help her wash it.
The next morning, in order to thank Ye Xi for saving his eldest brother, he had a lot of clothes made, as well as gold and silver jewelry, all sent to her room.
Saitian looked at her with a respectful attitude, "Please accept these things, I know that your status is noble, and there are better than this, but this is a special gift from me to thank you for saving my eldest brother." ”
Ye Xi glanced at him, "If you really want to thank me, let me go." As for these things, you can take them back! I'm locked up here, and I don't need to. She shook her head coldly and said.
Sai Tian looked at her, "You just take it!" As for letting you go, although it is impossible, you can hang out anywhere in the house in the future, or leave the house and go to Shacheng outside the house, but you have to send two people to follow you. ”
Ye Xi saw that he insisted on this, and he didn't bother to talk to him more, "Okay then! ”
After the worship was finished, he left.
Ye Xi looked at the gorgeous long dresses, as well as a few large plates of gold and silver jewelry.
She took two pieces of clothing and two sets of gold and silver jewelry, and glanced at Lan Yun, "Ah Yun, take it." ”
Lan Yun's face was full of shock, and he shook his head, saying that he couldn't take it, it was given to the girl by the three gang leaders.
Ye Xi smiled, "Since he gave it to me, it's mine, how I want to send these things, that's my business, it has nothing to do with him, so take it!" ”
Lan Yun hesitated, Ye Xi saw her like this, and said, "You take it!" Anyway, I sent so much, I didn't need it, I gave you two sets, and two more sets, so you can continue! ”
She paused as she spoke, "I'm tired of stretching my hand like this, and if I don't continue, my hand will be broken!" Her exaggerated expression, her exaggerated face.
Lan Yun no longer hesitated, took the things, and then put them in her room, she turned around and came to Ye Xi's room again.
She looked moved, and she was about to cry, and kept gesturing sign language, thank you! Thank you! Thanks to the princess, she was about to kneel, but luckily Ye Xi pulled her.
Ye Xi said kindly, "You're welcome, I just thank you for serving me with all your heart, you deserve it." ”
In the evening, Batian finally came to his senses, and according to the medicine given by Ye Xi, Saitian sent someone to prepare it in advance, so that people could give him the medicine to drink.
Zhong Licong tortured the second child, but the other party still did not say the specific location of Shacheng.
Zhong Licong had to think of other ways, after the person he sent last time, he didn't come back, it seems that there is more luck than luck.
This time, Zhong Licong sent some people who were familiar with the desert terrain and asked them to inquire about the route.
A few days later, the stitches needed to be removed, and Ye Xi came to his room for the second time.
After she entered, she saw that the other party was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, holding a pair of huge copper hammers in his hands, looking strong and powerful.
There was a priest standing next to him, with a happy expression on his face, "Big brother, it seems that you are almost well!" ”
The fourth child saw Ye Xi at the gate of the courtyard, with a soft smile on his face, "Miss Ye, are you here to remove the stitches for the eldest brother?" "She said that last time, so he remembers.
Ye Xi nodded, "Let's go, let's go into the house!" ”
The expression on Batian's face was complicated, and various emotions of gratitude, guilt, and resentment were revealed on his face.
Ye Xi asked people to take scissors, this time no one dared to doubt her intentions, after all, the other party was about to die, but she was rescued, who dared to question her again.
Ye Xi gestured with his eyes and asked him to take off the clothes in front of him.
Slightly embarrassed, Batian stretched out his hand and took off his clothes, revealing the position of his left arm to his chest and abdomen.
Ye Xi's face was as usual, without the slightest fluctuation, and she removed the white bandage she was wrapping around. Then he took the scissors and cut the threads on the centipede-like scar on his chest one by one.
Her face was full of seriousness, her expression was strict and cautious, Ba Tian looked at the already beautiful woman in front of her, and now she was so close to herself, she could hear her shallow breathing, as well as the aroma of orchids and herbs emanating from her body, which was fascinating.
After Ye Xi did all this, he continued to apply medicine to his wound, and then bandaged him with gauze.
Ye Xi looked at Batian and advised, "In two days, the wound will be completely healed, and there will be no need to bandage it then." ”
Ye Xi finished speaking, and said again, Okay, I'll go back first.
She walked to the door and dissuaded again, "The wound is not completely healed, so don't practice the knife!" Originally, she didn't want to say this, anyway, she had done her best, but as a doctor, she couldn't pass the level in her heart, so she had to say more.
Sai Tian now understands why she deserves to be loved by so many people, because her healer is kind, kind and generous, and treats everyone equally.
Baten nodded his head to indicate that he understood. Ye Xi didn't care whether he agreed or not, and turned around and left after speaking.
Half a month has passed, and it has entered a harsh winter at this moment, and the city of Quanzhou is in a desert area, which is not so cold, but it is extremely cold at night, dozens of times colder than usual.
On this day, the annual slave game tournament in Sand City was ushered in.
Sand City is located in the center of the desert, and although the sky is full of yellow sand, there are also oases. This oasis is only ten miles away from Shacheng, and the water problems of the people in the city depend on that oasis.
When the five members of the sand gang first came to Shacheng, the people in the city were persecuted by the city lord, and in addition to the city lords who were evildoers, they became the masters of the sand city, and also established a sect sand gang.
This oasis is a lifesaver for them, and a few years ago, they made a suggestion to plant plants and trees along that oasis, otherwise in a few years, or decades, this oasis will have to disappear.
When he said this, no one understood his wry smile, so he sent his men to plant some trees there every year, and the main trees were three kinds of trees, poplars, pines, and sea buckthorn trees, all of which were taught to be drought-tolerant.
Originally, the oasis was about fifteen miles away from the sand city, since the sacrifice sent people to plant trees, some trees grew into big trees, some people realized that planting trees might really protect the sand city, wind and sand fixation, so some people spontaneously took action, every year they would go to the oasis to plant a few trees, after so many years, the distance between the oasis and the sand city has shrunk from the original fifteen miles to ten miles, they believe that as long as a few more years, that oasis will surround the entire sand city.
The Slave Game was held in the early afternoon of the same day. Gather all the slaves in the city in the fighting arena and play a match.
Anyone who can defeat the other party, regardless of life or death, can get rid of the status of a slave and become an ordinary person.
Every year, the tournament is the same, first the slaves raised by each family are concentrated, and then divided into ten batches, and these ten batches of slaves are imprisoned in ten open-air fighting rings, and those who can survive in each fighting arena can be released from slavery status and restored to normal people. And often, most of these ten people will become the subordinates of the sand gang, and of course, a small number of people will choose to leave this sad place.
On that day, the three of Batian, Saitian, and Jingtian wore brocade costumes and came to the fighting arena, ready to watch the game.
Ye Xi was also invited to the list, Ye Xi didn't like that kind of scene, he didn't look at people as people, let them kill each other, and there was no humanity.
She didn't want to go at the time, but she was forced to come here by that damn bastard, and Batian threatened herself with Lan Yun's life, and she had to agree. Knowing this, she let him fend for himself and die.
Ye Xi now has a fire in her heart, seeing the few people in front of her, with an excited smile on her face, it seems that the next game makes people feel excited, but she can't be happy, those people are human lives, not objects they use to play games, thinking of this, she hates this world. But she could only watch, but she couldn't do anything, she felt that she really couldn't adapt to the concept of treating human life like a mustard in this world.
When everyone saw Ye Xi's face, they were all stunned, as beautiful as a peach and plum, as bright as a jade bone, and as white as snow, which made people sigh, and the beauty should be like this.
Ye Xi followed Lan Yun, and Lan Yun felt very sorry, it was because of her that the princess was forced to come here.
Seeing her guilty face, Ye Xi took her hand and let her sit on the edge of her place, this chair is very large, and the two of them can still accommodate it.
Ye Xi comforted her, "Okay, don't be so sad, I don't blame you for this matter, if I don't want to come, no one can force me." "She came here, first, she was forced, and second, she saw if there was a way to save them. Although she is not capable of saving all the slaves in this world, she can save some of them! She is a modern person, she has lived in modern times for twenty-seven years, and if she is asked to change everything she knows in modern times, she can't do. So, she can't turn a blind eye.
Batian looked at the crowd below, his rare expression was not serious and calm, with a somewhat warm smile, "Everyone, be quiet!" His voice was loud.
The crowd gradually calmed down, and Batian looked at everyone, "Today is the annual slave fighting tournament again, the rules of the competition, the same as in previous years, ten groups of people, enter the fighting arena, and those who survive in the end can become people." Next, the race begins! He announced in a loud voice.
I saw that someone divided all the slaves into two rows, came to the large field below, and stood up.
I saw that their hands and feet were shackled, their coarse cloth was in tatters, their hair was unkempt, and their whole bodies were dirty.
Ye Xi looked at the group of poor people below, ready to stand up and say something? But he was stopped by the priest who was sitting next to him.
He shook his head and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss Ye, you can't save them, these slaves are not only from the Sha Gang, but also from several major families in Shacheng, they all rely on slaves to make huge profits, and every year they will export a large number of slaves and sell them to various places to get money." You can save a while, but you can't save a lifetime. ”
When Ye Xi heard that someone was actually buying and selling people like goods, he was so angry that his chest hurt and his anger could not be eliminated.
Ye Xi looked at him with a resolute expression, "That's better than doing nothing." They are human beings, people like us, not playthings to be used for amusement, nor goods to be bought and sold. ”
Ye Xi looked at the group of people who were suffering heavily, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.
Thinking she had seen something wrong, she stood up in shock, ran to the railing, and took a closer look.
Sai Tian had never seen her so flustered and anxious, even if she was threatened by her eldest brother just now, she smiled coldly. What exactly did she see? It would have made her so panicked and nervous.
Ye Xi was afraid that she was wrong, and when she looked at the person in her eyes carefully, she smiled, smiling brightly like the sun, beautiful like a delicate flower.
Everyone looked at her one by one, and when they saw the beautiful woman smiling like a flower in front of them, they all looked straight.
The person under the fighting arena also seemed to see the other party clearly, wasn't the woman in front of him the person he had been looking for for more than four months? The other party agrees with overjoyed and unspeakable joy.
Ye Xi ignored the obstacles and insisted on entering the fighting arena, and when she saw her so stubborn, her face was full of helplessness.
Ye Xi's voice was resolute, "I repeat, I want to go down!" Even if it's dangerous, I'm going down. ”
Saitian was extremely helpless, he looked at his eldest brother and asked for his opinion, Batian nodded and agreed, otherwise she would keep making trouble and delay the game then.
Saiten, leading her, entered through the passage below.
The priest had the iron gate open and the archers to prepare and shoot anyone who dared to escape. At the same time, it is also for their own safety
After Ye Xi entered, he walked in front of him and cried with joy, "Xuanzhu, I finally found you, where have you been, I sent people to look for it in three countries, but there is no news from you." ”
Sai Tian looked at the woman in front of him crying and laughing, his mood fluctuated, and he thought to himself, who is the man in front of him? can let her leave tears for the other party, he believes that this woman is not a person who tears easily, so the person who can make her leave tears must be very important to her.
Xuanzhu's face was apologetic, "Miss, I'm sorry, I couldn't save Miss at the beginning, I heard that you were killed, I didn't believe it, so I kept looking for it, kept looking, and came to Rongjiang Country, but I was assassinated and entered this slave camp." ”
If you hear him call her Miss, then he is her bodyguard. The people in front of them can do martial arts at a glance, but after entering the slave camp, those who know martial arts will give each other medicine to make them lose their martial arts.
Ye Xi shook his head, "You didn't feel sorry for me, on the contrary, it was because of me that you became like this!" ”
She was full of determination, "Don't worry, I will definitely save you out!" ”
Xuanzhu said worriedly, "Miss, don't force yourself, I can save myself by myself." ”
Ye Xi had a soft and kind smile on his face, "Since I have found you, I will never let you go." ”
With that, she turned and left the arena.
