5. The Road to Freedom
After speaking, he went out to eat, and Lin Bida on the side looked at Shu Han and said, "Shu Han, you can really do it, a few tears in exchange for a meal for us." He had a big smile on his face, they had eaten so badly since he had become slaves, and now that he was able to eat a freedman's dinner, he suddenly felt that the beating was worth it.
And maybe it was Shu Han who saved his life, which made his attitude towards Shu Han much better, with a bright smile on his face, Shu Han looked at him in a trance for a while, and he suddenly found that Lin Bida's smile was much better than pretending to be b, just like the high school grass in the TV series, but thinking of what he had said, he shook his head, this is a bear child.
Shu Han ignored him, his tears were not shed for a meal, Lin Bida saw that Shu Han didn't pay attention to him, but he was not stunned, and after waiting for a while, he continued to speak: "Why did you save me at that time? I was scolding you. ”
"I don't think those two informants are happy, are you satisfied with this answer?" Shu Han said, Lin Bida pursed his lips and said: "Hey, if you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it, but you saved my life, I think I will definitely help if I can use my place in the future." “
Lin Bida obviously didn't believe Shu Han's words, Shu Han looked at his projected eyes and said, "You still help me?" You'd better change your temper first, otherwise you will be able to dodge this time and escape with your life, and you won't be so lucky next time. “
"I just have this temper, I can't change it, if I die at this point, then there is no way, so Shu Han, you'd better hurry up and let me pay back this favor, otherwise when I die, I can only owe you this favor and wait for the next life to pay it back."
This may not be a big deal for you, but it's a big deal for me, if I owe you a personal favor before I die, then I won't die happily, if you have a good heart, you'd better hurry up. Lin Bida said with a smile, his words made Shu Han couldn't help but look at him, although this person is not stingy, but he is very open-minded, there is a great terror in life and death, even if Shu Han is not very old, but he is still afraid of death.
But in Lin Pida's mouth, he couldn't hear the slightest fear, but calmly, he wanted to ask Lin Bida why he thought so, said so, but at this moment the door of the infirmary opened, and Zhao Qingtian, who was covered in dust, walked from outside the door, his white coat was stained with a layer of gray dust, which shows how bad the environment here is, even if it is an open-air operation, there is a possibility of dust disease.
"This is the sick meal for the two of you, one meat, two vegetables, and a bowl of soup, it tastes good, take it and eat it." Zhao Qingtian took two iron boxes and put them in front of Shu Han and Lin Bida, Lin Bida picked up the box and began to enjoy this delicious sick meal, a piece of Dongpo meat plus a green vegetable and a cauliflower, the taste is not particularly delicious, but for them who have never seen meat once a year, this is already a delicacy in the world.
Looking at Lin Pida's eating appearance, making the sound of the old sow eating feed, Shu Han unconsciously also felt hungry, and it was also a storm when he opened the lunch box, he really wanted to maintain proper politeness in front of Zhao Qingtian, but since he came to this world, he has hardly eaten anything in two days, and when he first arrived, he couldn't eat the coarse wheat and sieved chaff that slaves often eat, and now he saw this simple version of Dongpo meat, Shu Han couldn't control it at all.
After eating, the two of them licked the entire lunch box again, every corner, and saw that even the oil flowers in it had been rolled into the tongue and sent to the stomach, so they reluctantly put down the iron box in their hands, Lin Bida's face still had a trace of nostalgia, Shu Han felt very embarrassed, and felt that the wound on his back had almost been treated, and if he stayed here, it would only disturb Zhao Qingtian's work, so he said goodbye.
Lin Bida on the side obviously wanted to stay a little longer, but let him stay here alone, not because he didn't have the courage, but because he didn't have the cheekiness, and if he stayed here alone, if someone else came in and saw him, maybe something would happen, he wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die.
"You have these pills, I can't give you a follow-up, I will give you two courses of medicine, remember to take it every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, two tablets at a time, you must remember, otherwise the wounds on your body are easy to become inflamed, if they fester, I can't cure them, and then you can only watch your fate."
Zhao Qingtian hurriedly took out two medicine bottles from the cabinet and handed them to Shu Han and Lin Bida, as a fledgling doctor, looking at the two little beans in front of him, the sympathy in his heart was still overflowing, he knew that it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to see these two children again in the future, and they would not come for follow-up, so he simply gave two courses of medicine directly to the original preparation of one course of medicine.
Lin Bida and Shu Han were very touched, but Lin Bida still had a silent look on his face, but Shu Han could see that he was embarrassed, and solemnly bowed to Zhao Qingtian, and the two left, holding the nameplate in their hands, Shu Han said: "It's not yet six o'clock in the evening, Master Wang Lie should still be working, let's go directly to the iron mine area to find him." ”
The work in the iron mine area is 24 hours, half of the slaves are responsible for the day, half of the slaves are responsible for the night, and the overseers are transferred after a month, and the overseers work in three shifts to ensure that the overseers have enough energy to supervise the slaves to work.
"Well, it's all up to you." Lin Bida looked absent-minded, thinking that he was going to see the person who injured him, and when the time came, he would have to put on a grateful face, his heart was naturally unwilling, Shu Han noticed his expression, and said with relief: "Walk before the ghost door closes, what else can't be seen." “
"Cut, I know, it won't embarrass you." Although Lin Bida was still very unconvinced, he also knew that Shu Han was right, and the two of them returned to the iron mine area smoothly with the nameplate, and took advantage of the elevator to come to the place where Master Wang Lie worked, and Shu Han handed the nameplate back to the overseer.
"Well, well done, I thought you would drag it out until the evening." The expression on Wang Lie's face was very satisfied, as an overseer, what he hated most was that slaves did not go to work under various excuses, and now he was very relieved to see Shu Han and Lin Bida come back so soon after being injured.
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment, sir, we'll go back to work."
Shu Han has a smile on his face, I have to say that Shu Han has a great ability to adapt to the environment, as a modern person, the defense of self-esteem is engraved in his bones, especially for a teenager who has just entered the second year of high school, it is the time of rebellion, the whole world revolves around him, even his parents and teachers, it is difficult for him to bow his head.
But Shu Han was able to endure this bitter fruit, like a real slave, kowtowing and grateful, first, because he knew very well that if he didn't do this, he was likely to provoke the overseer, Wang Lie killed two slaves in public also made Shu Han feel very shocked, and human life was deprived of worthlessness, which made Shu Han feel frightened.
He is not Limbida who can face death so broadly, he still wants to live, find a way to go home, or leave this hellish place.
On the other hand, this is also an expedient measure, he can't be a slave for the rest of his life, he can't accept this result, if that's the case, then he may be as open-minded as Limbida, because for slaves, death is really a certain degree of relief.
But Shu Han is not dead at this time, he doesn't think that he must be a slave for the rest of his life, and the opportunity is waiting for him to discover, and since there is a possibility of living, then why should he die here because of some trivial things that are not worth it?
"If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster, if you don't fly, if you don't fly, if you fly, it's above the clouds in the nine heavens, Shu Han, hold back." He said to himself inwardly.
After getting the approval of the overseer, Shu Han and Lin Bida got up from the ground and walked towards their work area.
At this time, Wang Lie opened his mouth and said, "You two don't have to work today, go back and rest." Maybe Wang Lie also admired the two little slaves very much, and he blamed them, but they still had great respect for themselves, which made Wang Lie feel a little guilty, so before leaving, he spoke.
This sentence made both of them a little surprised, this overseer would be merciful, at this time, even Lin Pida's words of thanks were added a bit of sincerity, in this year in the iron ore mining area, there is almost no rest, to be able to get half a day of rest, this is really difficult not to be moved, the two got up from the ground again, because of the back injury, can only support to move forward.
Walking to the slave quarters, the two said goodbye to each other, and before parting, Shu Han asked, "Where do you live?" Also, which engineering team are you? "In the iron ore mines, each slave has his own engineering team, and the schedules between them are set by the managers, and every day is different.
Its function is to prevent the slaves from connecting with each other and doing some things that cause headaches for the bosses and overseers in the mine, so when Shu Han asked this, Lin Bida was stunned for a moment, and then whispered:
"What, you still want to keep in touch in the future?"
Shu Han could hear the sarcasm in his tone, it would be difficult to be together in the future, and it would be even more difficult to see each other, which Shu Han also knew, but he still said: "It's hard to say about the future, do you want to be a slave for the rest of your life?" “
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Bida asked puzzled.
"It's not interesting, I just don't want to be a slave for the rest of my life, I want to go out and see." Shu Han said very sincerely, but these words were like a joke in Lin Pida's ears, and he almost laughed out loud, but looking at Shu Han's serious appearance, he couldn't help but have a ridiculous feeling in his heart that it was possible that this person in front of him could really do it.
How could he feel like this, Lin Bida suppressed the unprovoked intuition in his heart and said, "Get out of here, Shu Han, your illness is not light." He didn't believe that Shuhan would be able to regain his citizenship, and in the two years he spent in the mines, he had never seen a slave reinstated as a freeman, not even a person who had been transferred out of this hell.
All the slaves died in this dark iron ore area, without exception, without a single one, how could this person in front of him be.
"There is nothing impossible in the world, if you don't want to say it, forget it, then it will be indefinite." Shu Han saw that the other party was so unwilling to believe in himself, and he could only choose to give up, since he knew the truth of this world, he made up his mind in his heart that he had to leave this damn iron ore area.
This is not another world, this is my own world, but two hundred years later, I have too many doubts to get answers, and my relatives, my sister and brother, what is their future? And why did he come to the earth hundreds of years later (the earth was destroyed for two hundred years, but Shu Han did not know how many years had passed from his death to the destruction of the earth, so he could only be generally regarded as a few hundred years later).
He wants to go to the city, only when he goes to the city, he can get more information, he can know why he came here, and there is only one way, that is, to become a free citizen, no matter how difficult it is, he must do it, this is a very firm belief in his heart.
And if you want to do this thing, you can't do it without a helper, so he wants to get Lin Pida's project number, in this iron ore area, Lin Bida is the only person he has seen, who is not willing to give in psychologically, and his heart is still burning with the blood of not being a slave, so Shu Han will want to give it a try to see if he can win over a person.
But looking at Lin Bida's current appearance, he obviously doesn't think he can succeed, Shu Han can only smile bitterly in his heart, yes, as long as the identity of this slave is set, if he wants to break free, it is even more difficult than crossing Shushan, he is fashionable and unsure, how can he make others believe it.
Thinking of this, Shu Han said goodbye to Lin Bida a little lonely and walked towards his dormitory, and looking at Shu Han's back, Lin Bida said in a ghostly manner: "I live in Building 20 in the North Dormitory Area, and my engineering team is Group 47. “
After saying that, Lin Pida's heart was about to explode, and then he turned his head and limped towards his dormitory.
"Grandma, I want to see you." Lin Bida said slightly, and then disappeared in the smoke and dust, naturally no one heard his words, Shu Han looked at the back of him leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he finally met a like-minded person.
