Chapter 250: The Burden of Missing

However, why these people are digging gold here is still a mystery to Wang Shaoan for the time being, and Liu Ziyu is not very clear about this problem. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Liu Ziyu told Wang Shao'an that most of the slaves were from a local clan, that is, barbarians. The rest, either exiles or slaves captured by the barbarians.

The mine was divided into four districts, east, west, north and south, with more than 900 slave laborers in each district. Liu Ziyu took Wang Shaoan to the southern district to which he belonged, and then took Wang Shaoan into the mine.

It is said that it is a mine, but it is better to say that it is a mine, and there are various small pits in the big pits, and occasionally there are deeper pits like wells. The pit was muddy, and the slaves kept waving their pickaxes, and the ground was rattling, and some people were using their burdens to pick out the excavated stones and pile them on the flat ground. So there were a lot of piles of ore on the ground that hadn't had time to be transported.

In this humid, hot and rainy climate, if it rains continuously in the summer, the entire pit will be flooded. Wang Shaoan also raised this question, Liu Ziyu said that he had not been here for long, but he heard that when it rained, he had to scoop up the water, and then someone was responsible for transferring the water to the ground on the pit.

"Then you didn't think about running away? Such a big brother in the pit, you can dig a hole anywhere and ascend to heaven. Wang Shaoan asked.

"This group of barbarians often check everywhere to see if anyone is digging a hole with the intention of escaping, and generally if the hole is discovered, the whole team will die a miserable death." Liu Ziyu replied.

Wang Shaoan nodded thoughtfully, and then Wang Shaoan threw his burden aside, and followed Liu Ziyu down to the mine to work, sweating like rain, this kind of physical work was not difficult for Wang Shaoan.

However, after working for a whole afternoon, there was no food until dark, which made Wang Shaoan very unhappy. After dark, fires were lit all over the pit, and fires were lit in all directions on the top of the pit, and for a time the lights were bright.

It wasn't until midnight that a long horn sounded from above, and then the people in the pit poured in all directions. I saw the people on the top of the pit carrying baskets one by one, and pouring baskets and baskets of things from above.

"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up, or there will be nothing left to eat! ”

Liu Ziyu had already followed the crowd and rushed over, but Wang Shaoan stood there and did not move, although he also knew that the life of slaves in the slave society was miserable, but whether they were slaves or not, they all wanted to live, so they would go so desperately to grab food.

"You can't eat without eating." Wang Shao'an suddenly got up, stepped in front of him in a few steps, and looked at the ground, steamed bread crumbs and rotten fruits were scattered all over the ground, and it seemed that the food was worse than pig food.

Wang Shaoan picked up a few large steamed buns and threw them into his mouth, in order to survive, he must be patient now. Then he grabbed some more and then retreated.

Liu Yi found a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-old child standing behind him, covered in mud and stains, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman at all. But judging from his thin figure, it is clear that he often starved. At this moment, he was staring at the crowd of people who were grabbing food.

Wang Shaoan walked over and handed him a piece of steamed bread in his hand, he stared at the steamed bun in front of him in disbelief, and then slowly raised his head and looked at Wang Shaoan.

"Hungry, huh? Eat it. Wang Shaoan gestured at him and said with the steamed bun in his hand.

At this time, a person rushed out and stretched out his hand to snatch the steamed bun in Wang Shaoan's hand.

"If you don't eat it, give it to me!"

"Get out!" Wang Shaoan didn't even look at him, and raised his hand to slap him away.

Wang Shaoan's actions stunned the child, and he slapped a strong man a few meters away, what a power, and Wang Shaoan did not use the right.

"If you don't eat, you won't have the strength to work." Wang Shaoan smiled at him, revealing eight white and flawless teeth.

The kid suddenly snatched the steamed bun from Wang Shaoan's hand, then turned around and ran in one direction. Wang Shao'an was suddenly curious, in this case, didn't he eat the food as soon as he got it, so as to prevent others from snatching it?

Wang Shaoan followed the child over, it seems that the child is also in the southern district, but he did not enter the shantytown, but bypassed the shantytown, and then came to a person.

The man was lying on the ground, covered in skin and bones, his eyes half-open, and his chest floating limply.

Apparently starving, the child quickly crouched down beside the adult slave and handed him the steamed bun.

The adult slave turned his head to see the child, with a difficult smile in his eyes, and then reached out and pushed the steamed bun back: "You eat, you have the strength to work when you are full." ”

"No, you want to eat, you have to get well quickly, and lead the people to kill them! Avenge the dead people! The child said in the voice of the male duck, and Wang Shaoan also heard it, it was a little boy.

"Hu, thank you." The adult slave smiled bitterly on his face and shook his head helplessly, it seemed that he didn't want to eat the food in the hands of this young man named Ah Hu.

The two didn't talk for a few words, and a stranger appeared, threw a piece of steamed bun on the adult's chest and said, "You are very sick, you have to eat more food to supplement some nutrition in the past two days, and I can treat you." ”

The eldest and the younger looked at Wang Shao'an in surprise, they had been in this pit for so long, and this was the first time that someone would give them food, even if it was their clansmen, who had been enslaved for a long time, they could kill each other for a bite to eat, let alone give food to others.

"Isn't it enough? Here, eat some fruit to supplement vitamins, oh you shouldn't know what vitamins are, anyway, it's good for the body. Wang Shaoan threw the fruit in his hand to him and said thoughtlessly.

The boy's eyes moistened, and he suddenly fell to the ground: "You said you can cure the python!" You must save him......"

Wang Shaoan stretched out his hand, lifted the little boy up, stared at him and said angrily: "The man has gold under his knees, why do you kneel to people so casually?" ”

At this time, Liu Ziyu also came over, and when he saw this scene, he was slightly surprised, and he couldn't imagine that this Wang Shaoan still had a chivalrous and soft heart.

"Ah Hu, python, get you something to eat, it's not much." Liu Ziyu also put down a little bit of food, and it seems that Liu Ziyu often takes care of the two of them.

"Do you know them?"

"I can't say I know them, look at them pitiful, and take care of them often." Liu Ziyu replied.

Wang Shaoan turned his head, this is near the mine, Wang Shaoan remembered, the burden was thrown near here, and after four moves, the burden was missing. It contained several pairs of silver needles, a set of surgical tools, and several bottles of pills. As for the revolver, Wang Shaoan carried it with him and tied it to his thigh. (To be continued.) )
