Chapter Eighty-Nine: Hunger
"Young Patriarch, the pit has been dug by those sub-people," in the werewolf clan, a white-clothed werewolf said to the black-clothed werewolf, and Lin Yu observed from a distance that this black-clothed werewolf was the one who had bid for him at the previous auction.
"Okay, hurry up and throw all the dead bodies down, and continue on your way when you're done. The werewolf in black said coldly.
The young patriarch of the black-clothed werewolf, named Blade Wolf, the territory of the werewolf clan was originally in the northern wasteland, this time he went south, on the one hand, for the land deed of the two rivers plain, but the funds he prepared were really insufficient, he did not expect that this land could be auctioned for a sky-high price of three million gold coins in the end, compared with one, his 100,000 gold coins were as embarrassing as the money in a beggar's pocket.
That piece of land is indeed the primary goal, but since it can't be taken, the remaining 100,000 gold coins also have to do something valuable, such as purchasing a large number of land materials to go back, so as not to run in vain.
As a result, Blade Wolf bought more than 1,000 subhumans in Guangming City as a supplementary population, which could be used as slaves on the one hand, and some female subhumans could be used to reproduce offspring as production tools on the other hand.
The subhumans in the slave market are very cheap, and they can usually buy one for ten silver coins, so the Blade Wolf bought a thousand subhumans for only 10,000 silver coins, which is a total of 100 gold coins.
In addition to slaves, of course, a large number of weapons were acquired. Because not only the werewolf race, but also the entire beast race's handicraft and manufacturing industry are very backward, and the weapons they make are all shoddy, and there is still a very far gap compared with the weapons forged by humans, let alone compared with the dwarven race with exquisite craftsmanship.
Originally, Blade Wolf also planned to buy weapons in Guangming City at one time, but he heard that the weapons in the dwarven territory would be cheaper, because most of the weapons dealers in Guangming City purchased weapons from dwarven villages.
Blade Wolf didn't want the middlemen to make the difference, so he personally took the subhuman slaves he had just bought to the dwarven village to buy weapons, and then transported them back to the northern tribes.
However, the Bladed Wolf forgot to consider a very important matter, he took the sub-human slaves out, but did not bring enough food, this time he went south from the north, and only brought a number of tribesmen, these tribesmen had prepared rations before going south to the kingdom of the dwarven heroes, but did not buy the rations of the sub-people.
As a result, the sub-people began to run out of food the next day, that is, after leaving the dwarven village where Black Tielei was located.
The Blade Wolf didn't care about these things at first, but let the sub-people solve it themselves and forage for food on their own. However, the Asians had been starving in the slave market in the first place, and they had been exhausted from the journey for the past two days, so what was the solution?
Moreover, in order to facilitate management and prevent these subhuman slaves from having time to sneak away, the bladed wolf generally concentrates the foraging time of the subhumans at noon, and when the werewolves are resting and not in a hurry, they let the subhumans forage for food, but in order to take care of it, they will let the subhumans only move within a certain range.
Because the Dwarven Hero Kingdom has rules that the ecology in it cannot be destroyed, it is not allowed to forage for food on a large scale. Otherwise, once the bladed wolf as the master is discovered, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to buy and sell weapons in the dwarves' places in the future, and he may be hunted down by the strong of the dwarves, after all, the dwarves still respect the law very much.
Noon is the time when the sun is at its highest, and the sub-people have nothing to eat except grass, leaves, and the like, and how many of the more than a thousand sub-people can eat within a certain range?
The sub-people, like cattle, were kept in captivity by the werewolf clan, but because of overwork and starvation, in the past two days, the sub-people have died on a large scale.
Until the time Lin Yu arrived, more than 200 people had died.
And the scene that Lin Yu saw was that this group of werewolves was directing the sub-people who were already too hungry to work, digging pits, preparing to bury these dead sub-humans.
Those sturdy werewolves were whipping the slow-moving subhumans with rattans, and the subhumans were already hungry and skinny because they had no food to eat or rest, and they could not stand the beating of these werewolves!
"Quick, the young patriarch has ordered, you hurry up and bury those who have died, and then hurry up, give me some money!" a white-clothed werewolf, holding a rattan and lashing this subhuman slave in the prime of life, shouted loudly.
The blade wolf looked around, this time he didn't buy food, and more than two hundred subhumans had died, which was a loss of almost more than two thousand silver coins!
"Forget it, don't do it!" "The Bladed Wolf looked at the subhumans who were already too thin to walk, and ordered, "Throw those dying subhumans into the pit together, so that you don't have to dig a pit next time, and in addition, let them take those dead subhumans as their own rations, anyway, we did the same when the werewolf clan went out on the expedition, so that these subhumans can be more profitable." ”
"Yes!" the werewolf in white commanded, and then shouted to the sub-people, "You people, if you feel that you can't do it anymore, you can jump into the pit now, and we don't need to dig the pit in the future, and if you want to continue to follow us, hurry down and take the dead sub-people as your own rations, all right, do it quickly!"
"What, you want us to eat our own people?" cried out a female subhuman, "Then I'd rather die!"
"What's so strange about saving time and effort!" said the werewolf in white, disapprovingly.
The shouting woman, looking at the corpses of her own countrymen, felt sick to her stomach at the thought of eating them, and she cried and went to the pit, she would rather die than eat her own people.
All sub-people have the same attitude, and good sub-people, even when they are most hungry, will not do such a unconscionable thing as eating their own people, so they would rather jump into the pit together and die together.
Perhaps, death is the real sense of relief for these sub-people, because it means that they do not have to suffer anymore.
Isn't the greatest wish of the subhumans to be to not suffer? Now, as long as they die, can't they be easily solved?
"Want to die?" Seeing that all the werewolves had jumped into the pit, the young patriarch of the werewolf clan couldn't help but say angrily, "Lao Tzu spent a hundred gold coins to buy you, and now you actually want my money to go down the drain?"
"I don't believe I can't cure you!" Blade Wolf wondered what kind of poison trick should be used to make these subhumans obediently obey, and it would be impossible for them all to die.
