Chapter 37: New Life
Lina, who was going to work, was dragged into a small dark room by the hair, whipped, pinpointed, hanged, and asked about the whereabouts of the cloth. Two horses of thousand-weft cloth were worth more than a weaver, and the interrogation was completely reckless.
In the end, during the interrogation that lasted for several days, Lina was beaten to death, and at the moment of death, Lina did not give up, did not resent, but had a kind of relief.
But things didn't turn out as she wanted, and when she woke up again, Lina found herself still in the little dark room, and she was a dry and ugly corpse, and those people didn't even want to bury her.
No one could have imagined that she would wake up, but the owner of the factory, like a treasure, drove Lina back to the loom, and drove her to work day and night, and there used to be rest time such as eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, but now there is nothing but labor.
Lina, who had already died once, no longer obeyed, tried to escape, and even broke out to hurt people, but she was already corpsed, and the whip had no effect on her.
In the end, the factory owner had no choice but to sell her to a merchant who specialized in collecting such slaves.
From the slave traders, Lena experienced even more brutal methods, compared to which the slave traders were already considered good people.
She was thrown into a worm pit and allowed maggots and cockroaches to crawl on her body, she was stripped of her for display, a bunch of people judged her, and she was stuffed with all kinds of ugly food, such as live spiders.
These did not harm her body, but they hit her psychology hard, and Linna wanted to go crazy directly.
It's a pity that she is a lich, she can't faint and go crazy, she can only bear all this, she deducted her own eyes, but found that she can still see things clearly, and the undead rely on their souls to see things.
In the end, she had to follow the slave trader's instructions and do whatever the other party asked her to do, and even slowly formed a reflex.
Eventually, however, the slave traders cut off her legs, hooked her to a rack with an iron hook, and turned her into a weaving machine that could not move, did not get tired, and never stopped, and then sold it to weave repeatedly.
The last bit of Lena was worn out in this repetitive labor, and she became a walking corpse that was almost unresponsive to changes in the outside world.
At some point, some people came to their side, and they removed the iron hook from their waists and removed the loom, is this a new punishment?
A man reached out and pressed on her body, and a thick voice came from Lina's soul: Sleep.......
Can you really sleep? Can you sleep until you never wake up? Lena felt sleepiness rise and closed her eyes heavily.
But while falling asleep, Lina suddenly heard another voice, a female voice that sounded very reassuring:
"Hello, my name is Melissa, I am the servant of the King of Steel, the King of Steelbone is the co-master of the undead in the world, he protects all the undead, you are safe now, no matter what pain and suffering you endure, from now on, it is the past, the King of Steelbone will protect you, whether it is hurting, torturing, beating, taunting, abuse, my king will let these go away from you......"
It's so noisy, can't you let me continue to sleep? Lena didn't want to pay attention, she hadn't heard of the King of Steel Bones, let alone what an undead creature was, as for the injuries, tortures, abuses, and so on, now she was far away, and wanted to continue to sleep, keep away.
A serious sentence was repeated three or four times, and the voice suddenly became playful: "I live in Caiyun Village, I have a smart and diligent brother, he loves me very much, we are very poor, but when he picks the fruit, he will definitely give me the biggest one, and when he works, he will also rush to do the heaviest work, for fear of tiring me, our sister and brother depend on each other, but some time ago, he died of illness ......." ”
Linna's heart tugged, brother? It seems that she also has a younger brother and three younger sisters, but it was because of the birth of this younger brother that she was sold by her parents.
"The King of Steel Bones has saved us, given my brother a new lease of life, and protected us, I have ridden an immortal bone horse, I have eaten food roasted by spices and moxibustion, I have soaked in the hot spring water boiled by the Flame Monarch, and I have seen a noble woman who ate the saliva of a dragon. ”
It's a wonderful life, I've only seen laundry sinks and looms .......
"My name is Melissa, I live in Caiyun Village, I am poor, I have a younger brother, the King of Steel Bones protects us...... I rode an immortal bony horse...... I've seen a woman who eats dragon saliva....... ”
Can the King of Steel really shelter me? I also want to ride a bone horse in the hot springs and meet the woman who ate the dragon's saliva......
Lena slowly opened her eyes and saw a happy smile.
"You're finally awake, great, I almost thought I couldn't wake you up, my name is Melissa, what's your name?" Melissa leaned forward and gently tried to pick up Linna.
Lina ....... With this move, Lina immediately noticed her abnormality. After her legs were cut off, she didn't have the action of 'sitting up', and could only support her upper body with her arms propped up.
But now, she could feel the weight from the waist down, and when she 'sat up', she saw a pair of legs that belonged to hers.
"It's ....... Lina poked her legs in disbelief, but she couldn't feel anything. Her heart was extremely lost: "Let's just say, it may be my legs, and my hands don't seem to be my ......." ”
Lina noticed her own hand, it was the same hand as she had been in life, slender, dexterous, moist and elastic, not even the thick calluses and scars of long-term labor, not her hand at all.
But why can I command these hands? I open them when I want them to open them, and I clench them into fists when I want them to make a fist. Also, why can I control my legs? I can stand up when I want to, and I can squat when I want to.
Oh, so I'm still dreaming.......
Lena smiled contentedly, even in a dream, it was nice to be able to re-experience her feet and dexterous and plump hands.
Linna shook her hands and kicked her legs, and she was happy to be happy, and turned around, only to find a man with a handsome face, a thin child, and Melissa all looking at her strangely.
Why do I have so many people I don't know in my dreams? ......Isn't this a dream?
Melissa suddenly laughed and said, "I saw a woman dancing again as soon as she woke up. ”
Isn't it a dream? Isn't it really a dream? Linna, who made sure that she was not a dream, hugged her hands and legs, and burst into tears, no, the lich had no tears, but anyone could tell that she was crying.
Melissa hugged Lina to soothe her, and Luo Qiu and Seber exited the door, leaving room for her to calm down.
