Chapter 3: The Family and the Slave
was directly promoted from a virgin to a daddy, and Zhou Ning's mood was quite complicated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He tossed and turned in the cramped cage and couldn't sleep.
Why does he like to be a father?
Thinking that before falling asleep, he had been hooked up, this mood was even more complicated.
He's sure he's stuck to his heart!
But where did the child come from?
It's still so terrifying to be born out of his soul!
Thinking of this, Zhou Ning hurriedly shook his head again.
No, no, no, that's not kids!
It's just a talking bead!
But the bead's voice was pretty nice - just like the one who hooked him up, it sounded different.
Maybe it's really the same lineage?
Thinking of the voice that hooked up with him, Zhou Ning hesitated even more: Could it be that after he fell into a coma, he was forced to do something by the woman?
Thinking like this, Zhou Ning's cold hairs all stood up at once.
Inexplicably lost! Pregnant before marriage! Is this the rhythm that wants to puff his parents out of the coffin?
Thinking of his parents, Zhou Ning sighed deeply again and simply sat up from the spot. Reaching out to open the cage door, he stepped out of the cage barefoot and searched the cabin.
Anyway, I can't sleep for a while, so I might as well see what is in this warehouse.
Recalling the nervous appearance of those people running in to count the boxes, Zhou Ning was a little curious.
The boxes are neatly stacked, and they look like they are all wooden on the outside, but when you open the wooden door facing outward, you can see that there is a layer of translucent glass inside. Through the glass, Zhou Ning saw a box of soil.
He rubbed his eyes, oh yes, it's a box of dirt.
He did not believe in evil, and with one foot he stepped on the cage of the short-haired beast, and after opening the top box, he removed the top cover of the glass case, and his hand twisted something out of it.
Bah! It's really a fucking box of dirt!
The short-haired beast was attracted by Zhou Ning's rough movements, and immediately stood up from its place. I saw it straighten its hind legs, stretching its neck and claws to reach Zhou Ning's bare feet on top of its head.
But its claws are a little thick, and the gap in the iron cage is too small, enough to reach it several times without success.
Zhou Ning didn't pay attention to it, but changed the box and continued to check.
As a result, it was still a box of soil.
Zhou Ning was a little stunned. Could it be that these people crossed the ocean, and even ran around the isolated island, and only dug up these hundreds of boxes of soil back!
Could it be that eating soil is now popular?
With a skeptical feeling, he opened the remaining boxes one by one and looked at them all.
Then, he was completely confused.
Who would have thought that most of these hundreds of boxes of things would be dirt! Others, mostly from the island, were three boxes, apparently dried fish that he had dried in the cave!
Don't even let go of his little dried fish! These people are beasts!
Zhou Ning's mind was a little messy. He vaguely felt that the world seemed to have changed, and walked to the corner of the stairs one foot deeper and one foot shallow, and looked out through the round glass, only to see that it was pitch black outside. The ship's high beams could not penetrate the darkness, and could only shine a short distance of progress with difficulty.
Leaning against the round window and sitting for a while, still not sleepy, Zhou Ning simply stood up and continued to walk out.
The false alarm of the day made the crew a little tired from running up and down, so at this point, most of the cabins were turned off. Zhou Ning came all the way, but he didn't meet anyone. When he went up to the second floor, he saw that there was a room with an unlocked door, so he slipped into it.
There was no light in the room, so I could barely see the silhouette by the light in the hallway.
"A restaurant?"
Looking at the neatly arranged tables and chairs, Zhou Ning said to himself.
If it's a restaurant, there's really nothing to see. Zhou Ning leaned against the wall and walked around the room, almost finding nothing. Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly heard a conversation coming from the hallway.
"Hu Junmin? Hey! You're really a kid! It's so late, why are you doing? ”
"I can't sleep, come out for a walk."
"I can't sleep! Then you can watch for me all night! I'm sleepy! ”
Hu Junmin lit a cigarette and faintly replied with the word "roll".
"Forget it...... Hey, I'm your uncle too. But who of you has ever honored your uncle? Something that doesn't look good! Why, not even a cigarette? ”
The crew on duty on the night shift turned around and walked to the dining room while nagging, moved two chairs out, and pulled Hu Junmin to sit down, looking like he wanted to have a family affair with him.
"Soldiers and civilians, when I was on the island before, I heard that movement seemed quite loud. Why when I went to the cargo hold to order the goods today, I was still a colorful eagle and a wolf dog? I said that you made such a big move, why didn't you even catch a single hair? ”
Zhou Ning listened in the dark, and then he knew that it was this crew member who was on night duty who entered the cabin to order goods in the afternoon.
Hu Junmin smoked an old-fashioned cigarette, and the light of the fire was lit up and extinguished in the darkness. His voice was a little hoarse, and he said indifferently, "Isn't there still a cage?" Are you blind? ”
The crew was stunned: "You said that slave? How can it be! I thought it was a peer who had left an order! Gee...... I listened to the screams coming from the cave, and I thought it was a big guy! ”
Hu Junmin was in a bad mood, and he didn't have the desire to say more, just hummed dispensable. In the dark night, he looked into the distance expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It turned out to be a wild man." The crew said with great interest and some pity: "So he can't even speak?" How does this sell? Hey, I just hope there's nothing wrong with the soil. Otherwise, this time it would be a big loss! ”
Hu Junmin had finished smoking a cigarette at this time, he stood up and threw the cigarette butt into the sea, sneered twice and said: "What does it have to do with you." No matter how much we lose, we won't lose your salary. Besides, those families wish their slaves couldn't speak. Idiot! ”
Slaves, as long as they can work.
And if the soil can grow non-toxic plants, how can there be any problems?
Idiots just think too much.
As if he really disliked the stupidity of the crew, Hu Junmin dusted off the cigarette ash on his body, didn't even say goodbye, turned around and left.
was inexplicably scolded, and the crew's mood was naturally unhappy. Looking at the back of Hu Junmin Shi Shiran leaving, he scolded gloomily, "You are a fool, your whole family is a fool", and then walked into the restaurant with the two chairs.
Zhou Ning had long melted into the shadows in the corner. The crew on duty at night didn't notice it at all, kicked the innocent chair twice, and walked out scolding.
Zhou Ning waited for a while, and after making sure that no one had returned, he came out of the shadows.
After figuring out what these people had in mind about him, although he was not very happy, he finally came to the bottom of his mind: since he was treated as a cargo, at least until he landed, his life would not be in danger.
But what they said was strange. The tone of understatement, as if slaves were a common thing. What else is the family......
If it weren't for the fact that they were dressed very modernly, he would have almost wondered if he had traveled to feudal society!
Are they not normal or have they misheard?
Has the world really changed?
Thinking about the confusion in his head, Zhou Ning returned to the bilge in a daze. The torn pants on his body were cut by the wire on the edge of the cage, and a large piece was torn off with a "stab" sound, and it was completely turned into shorts. But he wasn't as heartbroken as he was on the island, so he tore the rag and threw it into the cage next door.
The wolfdog, which had nothing to do but flicked its tail and was half-lying, jumped up with a "whoosh", pounced on the rag and tore and bite, and after playing for a while, it tore the rag into countless fiber fragments.
"This combat effectiveness is really not bad."
After Zhou Ning muttered, he fell asleep with a heavy heart.
A dreamless night.
Early the next morning, the crew who had come to feed the bilge noticed that something was wrong with the Colorful Eagle and immediately called the captain. Even with all kinds of excitement, the bilge, which has not much open space, is squeezed out.
"Liu Pei, what's wrong with it? Can you cure it? Captain Huo Yuanpeng asked anxiously.
The expression on Liu Pei's face was a little solemn, and he carefully examined Caiying, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be stupid, and the ability is gone." Captain, you know that. I can only heal some wounds, or purify some less potent poisons, no more, but I can't. ”
"What! Silly! What a second-order colored eagle has just become a stupid bird! After Huo Yuanpeng's younger brother Huo Yuanlin heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Liu Pei, you can't be mistaken, right?" ”
What a good colorful eagle, smart and well-behaved and obedient, how can he become stupid!
He didn't believe it!
Being questioned in public, Liu Pei was suddenly a little unhappy, his face turned black for a moment, and he replied coldly: "If the deputy team doesn't believe it, it would be good to wait for the shore and go to the Ability Guild to test it." If the bird's ability is still there, even if it's stupid, the price of the sale will offset the cost of detection. ”
Huo Yuanpeng was also a little skeptical, but he didn't want to offend Liu Pei, so he could only scold Huo Yuanlin with a tiger face: "Second brother, you shut up for me!" Do you know more, or do you know more! If you make any more trouble, get out of here! ”
After scolding his younger brother, he turned his head and apologized to Liu Pei: "He is young and ignorant. Don't take it personally. It's not that you don't know, but we bought this colorful eagle at a great price, and if you are really stupid, you will die. He is also distressed about money. ”
To put it mildly, this made Liu Pei ease his face.
But before he could say anything more, he heard a clattering sound in the cage next door.
turned his head to look, only to see a black shadow jumping up from the side, biting Huo Yuanlin's arm without the slightest hesitation.
