Chapter 54: The Slave Girl
In fact, if the dumb girl squeezes hard, she can still squeeze out a few words, so Wang revalued and touched, the dumb girl is not completely dumb.
After that, the mute girl patiently used a fish bone and a thin straw rope to mend a pair of shorts for the king.
It was a little itchy to wear on his body, but Wang Zhong also knew that everyone in the wasteland tribe had such clothes, and many deserted slaves could only cover their bodies with thatch.
"Dumb girl, dumb girl, come here!"
At this time, there was a shout from an attendant outside the door.
The mute girl hurriedly ran out.
The attendant shouted, "Where have you gone, Big Tooth is looking for you." ”
The mute girl stood at the door of the thatched hut where Big Tooth was, with her head bowed, and the reason why she did not go in was because as a slave was not qualified to enter her master's room unless she had her permission.
"Dumb girl, come in, I have something to ask you." Big Tooth was drunk and beckoned.
Wang Zhong was worried that something was wrong with the dumb girl, so he hurriedly walked to the door.
Everyone in the thatched hut sat directly on the ground, in addition to a few tribal warriors, there were also a few attendants, and the son of the attendant who had bullied the mute girl, Big Bird, was also there.
"Abaaba." The dumb girl lowered her head in fear, she originally wanted to say hello, but because she was nervous, she couldn't speak.
"Haha, what a dumb one." A warrior on the side laughed.
"But he's pretty well-behaved."
Big Tooth smiled: "That's not it, this is my slave girl, although she can't speak, but she has smart hands and feet, whoever wants it, I can sell it to you, just a little lamb." ”
It turned out that the dumb girl was called in to sell the dumb girl.
Wang Chong's small fists were clenched tightly, originally his plan was that after he grew up, he would form his own forces step by step, solve the big tooth and the leader's five claws, and become the leader of the stone tribe first.
But the most critical mute girl was sold in advance, Made.
But to Wang Chong's surprise, no one offered to buy a mute girl.
"Big Tooth, a little slave girl, still can't speak, you are stupid for us."
"No, then, you sell me your eighteen-year-old slave girl."
Big Tooth shook his head, "I worked so hard to raise a slave girl so that I wouldn't sell it." ”
"That's no way, Big Tooth, this kind of child, who knows if he can feed it, and the desolate slave who can't work is worthless." A tribal warrior said disdainfully.
Wang Chong breathed a sigh of relief, it can be seen from here that people are indeed worthless, and the only valuable thing is to let the deserted slaves work.
"Isn't it just work, dumb girl, tomorrow I will start to follow the nurse to learn how to farm and quarry." Big Tooth said impatiently.
"Abaaba." The mute girl nodded and walked out.
When she came out, Big Tooth said, "I trained her to be able to work, isn't it just that she can be sold?" ”
"Hehe, Big Tooth, I'm afraid that such a small slave girl will be tired to death."
"It's best to die, my field has less potatoes this year, and I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry this winter."
"Dumb girl, I'll take you to quarry tomorrow."
The nurse came over, this is the oldest slave under Big Tooth, many slaves grew up eating her milk, so everyone called her the nurse.
"Hmm." The mute girl nodded, although she was sensible at a young age, she didn't know what was going on with quarrying.
"Nurse, what is quarrying?" Wang Zhong asked.
The nurse is still good, the little desert slave with big teeth, and even his own children, are also taught by the nurse.
She replied: "The reason why we are called the Stone Tribe is because there are many stones around, and we have to find suitable stones and polish them into all kinds of utensils, such as stone bowls for our meals, tables, and weapons used by warriors. ”
As she spoke, the nurse touched the dumb girl's head and sighed: "This job is a little tiring, you follow me tomorrow and do some simple work." ”
"Nurse, I want to go too."
Wang Chong looked serious, in order to adapt to and understand this society as soon as possible, Wang Chong felt that he couldn't stay here all the time.
The nurse smiled: "Little wood, you are still young, but you can't do this job." ”
"I can learn, I promise I won't be trick-or-treating." As he spoke, he pulled the mute girl's clothes.
"Abaaba." The mute girl nodded, and touched Wang Chong's head lovingly.
"Okay then, but the quarry is messy, you follow me."
"Abaaba."
The next day, the mute girl led Wang Chong, who was only two years old, and followed the nurse and a few other slaves to the quarry.
In the same past, there were other warriors' desolate slaves.
Wang Zhong noticed that most of the desolate slaves walked barefoot, and only the slightly higher squires had their own animal skin shoes.
When she came to the quarry, the nurse picked up Wang Chong, ran to the middle with brisk steps, and said to the dumb girl: "Let's be here today, everyone sees that there is a suitable stone, take it out, dumb girl, you are young, I will give you a stone knife to polish later, this stone knife is required by the big tooth, and one of his previous stone knives is broken." ”
"Aba."
The mute girl nodded, and took a stone knife the size of a kitchen knife handed by the nurse.
The mute girl began to sharpen the knife as the other adults learned, and Wang Zhong frowned and watched, secretly saying that this efficiency was too low.
This is said to be a stone knife, but if you want to sharpen it, I don't know how long it takes, and the stone is thin and easy to break.
But at this time, Wang Chong himself didn't have much to do, he could only look around, trying to see if there was anything he could use.
There is a jungle at the bottom of the mountain, except for the stones, and according to the other slaves, the forest cannot be entered casually, because there are many wild beasts that eat people.
However, if the tribe does not have enough food, the warriors will form teams to go into the jungle to hunt, so every year people are killed by wild beasts.
The temperature in the wasteland is very high, especially at noon, the sun is very strong, and many desert slaves work under the scorching sun, which is really hard.
At noon, the mute girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and carefully opened the two potatoes she had brought today.
In fact, as desolate slaves, their food is only two meals a day, morning and evening.
But under this kind of high-intensity work, Big Tooth still brought two extra potatoes for each of them to eat.
The mute girl handed Wang Chong a potato, but Wang Chong didn't take it, and said in a milky voice: "You are tired of work, you can eat." ”
The mute girl stubbornly stuffed it into Wang Chong's hand, but at this time, a hand suddenly stretched out and took the potatoes over: "If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." ”
"Abaaba!"
The dumb girl was in a hurry and reached out to grab it, but the person who came kicked the dumb girl to the ground, and the dumb girl's teeth were bleeding.
"Why, I want to fight!" The man said viciously.
Wang Zhong glared at these people angrily, he did not know these people, but from the simple clothes, it could be seen that these people were also desolate slaves.
There is also a chain of discrimination between the desolate slaves under different warriors, and the stronger the desolate slaves, the more advantageous they will be.
This person is obviously relying on his own strength to bully the dumb girl and Wang Chong.
