The carriage traveled westward, and the scenery on the road became more and more desolate, and occasionally a few lonely trees stood in the wilderness, and the wild wind blew the branches and leaves, as if to see off the carriage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The terrain in this area is flat, and even if there are mountains, they are not high. The further he went, the sparser the vegetation on the ground became, and in some places even sand was exposed, Wu Zheng speculated that if he continued to advance in the current direction, it would not be long before he entered the desert area.

Sure enough, seven days later, the carriage came to a small town called Pangu Fort, and further on, there was an endless desert.

The carriage could no longer walk in the desert, so Basang replaced the carriage with a camel and needed to buy many desert necessities in addition to food and water.

Ram had left the village for the first time, but with Basang by her side, she was at peace. And Yi Yue kept a straight face all day long, she came from the Tianhou Temple, and took other roads, and this desert road she had not walked before. Although this road is risky, Basang has been walking in this area all year round, and the terrain is very familiar, where there is a water source, where there is an oasis, and where there is a man-eating quicksand, he knows it all. It's safer to have him in the way.

Wu Zheng followed Ram and Yiyue with a wooden stick, and wandered around the town's bazaar together. Ram had rarely seen such a bustling market, and she looked curiously at the goods on the stalls, and when she saw something she liked, she couldn't put it down. Yi Yue is not interested in these things, she is often sent to Dahua to do errands, and she has seen them a hundred times better than these things, and she has long been surprised.

Wu Zheng also followed behind them boredly, he didn't think about escaping, but now he is injured, has no martial arts, and has shackles on his feet, and the hope of successfully escaping is very slim. And it's not peaceful here, there are a lot of murderers and bandits, so after thinking about it again, he still gave up the idea of sneaking away, and now in this case, it's safer to follow Ram and them.

After walking around the bazaar for a while, Basang caught up from behind, carrying a lot of things in his arms. Seeing Wu Zheng standing beside Ram, he stuffed things into Wu Zheng's arms and said, "Do you still think you are the helper?" A slave has to be a slave, and you have to take all these things! Wu Zheng glanced at him coldly, this Basang pretended to be a kind old man in front of Ram, but in fact, it was not a good thing at all.

Ram saw that Wu Zheng had a lot of things in his hands, and he was already inconvenient to move, so it was even more difficult to walk. She couldn't bear to take some things from Wu Zheng's hand and said, "Grandpa Basang is usually very kind, maybe he is not very happy because of Yiyue's affairs these days, and you are a big Chinese, so he will be so mean to you." Wu Zheng said: "Ram, you are a good girl, but your Grandpa Basang is not a good grandfather, you have to be careful of him." ”

The two were talking, when suddenly someone behind them shouted, "Ram, is that you?" "It was a very young woman.

Ram turned his head and said with a look of surprise: "Jinzhu, why are you here too?" The woman who greeted Ram was dressed in luxurious costumes, and although there was a smile on her face, Wu Zheng could still read a taste of contempt in her smile.

Jin Zhu smiled: "I went out with Abba to do business, you see, we bought several slaves this time." After speaking, he pointed to several ragged people behind her, who were unkempt and could see their faces clearly, but they should not be very old by feeling. Ram looked over to the men and asked, "Don't you already have a lot of slaves in your family?" Why do you still buy it? ”

Jin Zhu said proudly: "These slaves were specially bought for me by Abba, and I am an adult and can own my own slaves!" She turned her head and shouted at one of the slaves, "You! Come and kneel, I'm tired and need to rest! The little slave looked younger than Jin Zhu, and his whole body was as thin as wood, and when he heard Jin Zhu's cry, he ran to his knees in fear, and Jin Zhu stepped over his head, rode on his neck and commanded, "Carry me up!" ”

The little slave gritted his teeth and stood up, his legs trembled uncontrollably, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead, he didn't dare to shout tired, otherwise what was waiting for him would be a merciless whiplash!

Wu Zheng looked at the scene in front of him coldly, and Ram frowned and persuaded: "Jin Zhu, this slave is too young and his body is not strong, you better change to a slave and ride to play." Jin Zhu deliberately showed off in front of Ram, and even ordered the little slave to run around in a circle with her, and finally the little slave couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to his knees with a thud, and threw Jin Zhu down.

Jin Zhu was annoyed and angry, snatched a leather whip from his subordinate's hand, crackled and whipped, and the little slave was beaten to the point where he rolled with his head and wailed. Jin Zhu burst into laughter, and suddenly there was a whip in her hand, and she was shocked to find that someone had grabbed her.

"Who are you? Let it go! Seeing the sick look of the young man who grabbed his leather whip, and then seeing the iron chain between his feet, Jin Zhu scolded angrily: "Are you damned slave going to rebel? How dare you stop me! She tried to pull the whip back, but she tried a lot of effort, but found that it had not moved.

Ram shouted from the side: "Wu Zheng, let go!" Jin Zhu said, "Ram, is he your slave?" Why are you so unruly? Ram said: "He is ......" Before he finished speaking, the young man spoke by himself, but what he said was not Tubo, but Dahua dialect that Jin Zhu could barely understand.

"I'm not a slave!" Wu Zheng's eyes flashed with anger, he walked to the little slave and pulled him up from the ground, and said: "I know that I am playing the piano to the cow when I say this, and you don't understand it at all, but I still want to say that in this world, everyone is equal!" The little slave cowered behind Wu Zheng in fear, and the bright red whip marks on his body were shocking.

Jin Zhu said in blunt Chinese: "In Tibet, only we nobles are human, and these slaves are not even as good as animals!" Wu Zheng snorted and said, "In my eyes, you are not even as good as a slave, let alone a beast!" Jin Zhu's face flushed when she heard this, but Wu Zheng's name listed Ram's slave belonged to Ram's property, and she couldn't do it casually, so she turned her head and said angrily to Ram: "Ram! How much is this Dahua slave? I'm going to buy him! ”

Ram shook his head and said, "Jin Zhu, I can't sell this slave, whether our village can be saved or not depends on him." As soon as the words fell, Basang's voice came from behind him: "Miss Jinzhu, Ram is right, we can't sell this slave yet, but if you're interested, when we finish with him, I can sell him to you and dispose of it!" ”

Jin Zhu snorted and asked, "Isn't he just a Dahua slave, why do you attach so much importance to him?" Ram, what's wrong with your village, you still need a slave to save it? ”

Wu Zheng also turned his head to look at Ram, only to hear Ram say: "Because this slave can bring a lot of wealth to our village, we will give this wealth to Lord Zampu in exchange for a peaceful life, otherwise Lord Zampu will take all the men in our village, and their army needs a lot of soldiers." ”
