I Will Be a King in Troubled Times Chapter 160 Wang Xuan's Slave Life
Wang Xuan was taken by the natives to a strange village, where the people lived on the ground instead of peasants.
However, they are all earthen houses, and stones are rarely seen here.
Wang Xuan and the two were bought by a local middle-class family, and the cost was ten fish.
"Your Majesty, are we going to treat them as cattle and horses?"
Yang Tao couldn't figure it out, if the two wanted to escape, there were still many opportunities.
"Let's see, we're safe for the time being, and we'll take this opportunity to learn the local language. ”
Wang Xuan is not worried, this should be a farming village based on planting.
However, according to the information investigated, except for the peasant people who came into contact with Jixiang, the other ethnic groups did not make a living from farming.
But the reality is that the Tu people who are engaged in agriculture have appeared in the north, and other ethnic groups that are not farming have started farming.
Wang Xuan is very concerned about this matter.
"Was it forced to migrate to the north?" Yang Tao thinks this is very likely.
"That makes sense, but these people are the same faces, not the intruders in the description. ”
Yang Tao couldn't explain this clearly, during this time, the mascot spent most of his energy on the construction of the base, coupled with the language barrier, although the spies were released, but they were only scouting the terrain and drawing maps.
The main house has a large courtyard that sits north and faces south, with a row of houses on the east side.
The two were placed in a room on the east side, where two wooden beds were laid with hay next to the earthen wall, a half-new wooden table and two benches in the middle. To Wang Xuan's satisfaction, there was a window facing east.
Although it is a large hole, it also provides good light in the house.
Although the two of them have now become other people's 'goods', the treatment is okay, and their limbs are not treated specially, but they are not allowed to walk out of this yard.
For dinner, I ate a very thick porridge, I don't know which plant fruit it was made of, and it had a sweet and silky taste.
After the meal, they were arranged to thresh the wheat.
The overseer first demonstrated it, and after a while, Wang Xuan said that he understood, so the overseer took a nap at the door of the east wing.
The wheat grains here are very large, and the grains are full, and Wang Xuan, who is greedy, drools.
"It's the first time I've seen such a good wheat, and I don't know what kind of variety it is, but if I can introduce auspiciousness, it will solve a big problem. ”
Although Yang Tao was born in a farmer, he didn't know which variety, so he pinched a few grains and tasted them in his mouth, which was also a little sweet.
“#¥&*......”
This action was discovered by the overseer by the door, and a rush of scolding came over.
Seeing that the other party looked like he was going to eat people, Yang Tao leaned his head and continued to work.
It was getting late, and there were more mosquitoes in the house, and the buzzing sound was very annoying, and after a while, there were a lot of bags around their necks.
The light slowly dimmed, Wang Xuan lifted the wooden stick, and beat it towards the ears of wheat one by one, and after confirming that the grains were cleaned, he changed to another handful and continued to beat.
I thought I was being sold as a slave, but after a long day of observation, it didn't look like it.
If he entered the slave den, there would be at least someone else besides them, but now there are only him and Yang Tao.
There are such slave owners, and the attitude of the overseers towards them is not professional.
There were mosquito bites, but the two of them were not sleepy, and they did not go back to the house to rest until it was dark and they could not work.
After taking a cold shower, Wang Xuan lay on the bed that Yang Tao had laid for him, thinking about how to go next.
How did the two of them live such a day, at first, they couldn't sleep over and over, but then they were too sleepy, so they fell asleep in a daze.
For the time being, he didn't think about any results, Wang Xuan decided to take one step at a time.
The next morning, the overseer, who was not tall but full of tendons, came to call the two of them.
After an hour's work and a hundred catties of wheat, the two began to eat breakfast, which was still the porridge from last night.
"No, it's okay for lunch. ”
After Yang Tao finished eating in three or two bites, the main family added another bowl, and after two bowls, he wanted to eat again, but it was gone.
Sure enough, for a few days in a row, in addition to eating the somewhat sweet porridge, the two of them threshed wheat.
After the wheat was beaten, the two of them were also a little slimmer, especially Wang Xuan, who was black and thin.
Then they were asked to turn over the ground again, this time with ropes tied to their feet, and it was evident that the overseer was afraid that they would run away, and he was now watching the ground with a dead face, and he was turning the ground a few times from time to time.
This is the first time I have seen the overseer at work.
Wang Xuan was very happy, "I finally saw outsiders, every day it was the three of us, and I was about to get sick." ”
Yang Tao smiled, this piece of land is not small, in addition to this one, there are other families in the turnover, and there are no less than ten people on the scene, including men and women.
"Count the days, it should be August, time flies so fast. ”
"Your Majesty, let's go back, I'm afraid they're in a hurry. ”
"How did you get back, do you remember the way you came?"
Yang Tao had no choice, he began to get lost and was arrested, and then he was sold here blindfolded.
Although judging by the light that it was all the way to the south, nothing else was known.
Even if they can get out, they can't find it all the way north, they don't know it here.
Moreover, it is not safe.
After a few more days, Wang Xuan and the others honestly cooperated with the overseer to do things.
Xu is supervisor thinks that the two are still obedient and did not abuse them, and the initial trust between the two parties has unconsciously formed.
On the tenth day after coming here, Wang Xuan finally met the head of the family.
A middle-aged man in his forties, not tall but well maintained, with exquisite facial features, but he was not in good spirits when he saw Wang Xuan and the others.
In addition to the head of the house, there is also a girl who is the same size as the head of the house, and her skin is a healthy wheat color, which is good-looking in Yang Tao's words.
It's a feeling that some people don't want to see a second time after you see them, and some people want to imprint them in your mind and engrave them in your heart when you see them for the first time.
This girl gives people the second feeling, which is very comfortable.
Dressed modestly, his long hair tied with rope hangs like a waterfall behind his back, and at his feet are a pair of half-new cloth shoes, embroidered with patterns.
The fly in the ointment is that she has the same sad face as a middle-aged man.
When the overseer saw the two, the expression on his black face actually changed, and he looked like a dead father.
Wang Xuan couldn't understand the conversation between the three of them at all, only some interjections, particles, and the like could judge their general mood, which was very bad.
On the second day after the head of the house returned, Wang Xuan and Yang Tao were free, and the overseer untied the ropes on their feet and opened the gate for them to leave.
"Your Majesty, are they letting us go?"
Yang Tao hesitated, "I can't eat either, besides, they won't even be able to afford to eat." ”
Wang Xuanguaner, "This family should be in trouble, and it may be difficult to protect itself, so I have a good heart and return our freedom." ”
"Count them as having a conscience, or they will be cleaned up sooner or later. ”
While the two were talking, a group of people came on the dirt road in front of the door.
A group of natives came with a few mascots, to be exact.
This made Yang Tao very happy.
There were three vipers, exactly the number of a group.
After confirming that Wang Xuan was okay, the three of them took the initiative to give a general idea of the ins and outs.
After Wang Xuan's disappearance, the camp was kept secret, and after searching for a few days to no avail, Wang Zhi found the peasant clan and issued a search notice.
Only the great white shark and the viper knew about this matter, and then there were Wang Zhi and Liu Zhi.
Since the missing person notice is posted in the villages and towns of the indigenous people, there is no concern that the mascot will know this explosive information.
In addition, everyone is building their own base areas, and they don't have the heart to run around, and the military's management ban has not yet been lifted.
As for what benefits Wang Zhi promised, the three of them didn't say, but Wang Xuan could guess somewhat.
After the cooperation was reached, the missing person notices with the portraits of the two people began to be posted everywhere, and the special combat team members began to disperse to the southern fan in groups of three, led by local natives.
"That's a good idea, it's better than our own carpet search. ”
"What happened later?" asked Wang Xuan.
"After all, we are a little different from the locals, and I will naturally have an impression when I see you. "One of the vipers said.
"That is, later in the village in the northeast direction, there was a clue, and the locals said that they had seen you, and after paying a vanity mirror as a payment, the other party took us to this village. ”
Once in the village, things fell into place.
The natives who accompanied them saw that they had found the main owner, and they smiled happily, as if they had won the prize.
Wang Xuan didn't leave in a hurry, and they didn't urge, but just arranged for someone to go back to report the news.
The head of the family was alarmed by the movement at the door, and led the two out of the door, and after a little stunned, he knelt down before the native, and said many words, as if begging for mercy.
"Which of you understands the language here?"
Wang Xuan asked the three vipers, apparently he had overestimated their learning talents.
There are language classes in the camp, and even if Liu Zhi has time to make up for everyone, the people of the special combat team do not have enough time to learn.
The most diligent runners were the merchants.
Now that trade is going on as usual, the daily exchange of precious stones fills one pocket after another, and they have enough to eat.
"Your Majesty, the Great White Shark's squad leader Liu Zhi should be nearby, and after we got the news that you are here, we notified the camp, maybe on the way here. ”
It's possible that in the days when I disappeared, everyone must have been in a hurry.
Wang Xuan looked back and felt that he was really not a thing.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Liu Zhi was protected by a group of people, and he began to run to this side from afar.
"Your Majesty, I can find you, if there is no news of you, Commissioner Wang will really not be able to live. ”
"Wang Zhi, what's wrong with him?"
"Hey, self-blame and guilt, I can't even eat these days, the doctor said that it was a heart disease and had to be a heart medicine, and the bell must be tied to the bell......"
Yes, he was harmed by himself.
"I see, I'm causing you trouble. ”
Everyone didn't dare to accept this, so they hurriedly shirked a few words, and then asked Wang Xuan to go back.
"Don't worry, ask them what's going on. ”
Liu Zhi looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and began to communicate with the natives.
"Your Majesty, they are a declining nobleman of the Tu tribe, and the only thing that the family has decayed is this house and a few acres of dry land in front of them, and now they still owe a large amount of debt to the chief, and according to the agreement, this house and land must be taken away. ”
There is enough blood, and there is no money to learn to buy slaves, which is enough.
Wang Xuan sneered in his heart, "Then what will happen to them in the future?"
Liu Zhi asked again, "It is said that it is left to fend for itself, but the advantage is that although there is no family property, the debt can be regarded as clear." ”
At this time, the three people who were kneeling on the ground got up and reflexively went back to the house to pack their things.
The wheat-skinned girl secretly glanced up at Wang Xuan as she passed by him.
Just because of this more look in the crowd, Wang Xuan changed his plan.
His heart raced, shamefully faster.
And the other party's dodge when the four eyes met made Wang Xuan's heart scratch like a cat.
I'm going to die!
