Chapter 3: Slavery
Lin Tou'er walked into the house and said to the two soldiers guarding the door, "Keep an eye on these two women. Then he hurried away with the comer.
Looking at Lin Tou'er's nervous expression, Xiaomi and Xiaolan sat nervously on the stools in the hall, waiting for an unknown storm to come.
Xiaomi thought to herself, so many things might as well be dead, what kind of crossing, and then thought that the graduation thesis that had been drafted for three years was a distress, and then thought about it, no, or can't die, since you can wear it to see if you can wear it back, you have to wear it back for the graduation thesis that you worked so hard to write. So he secretly cheered himself up, and suddenly saw Xiaolan looking at himself, and felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly started to talk: "Xiaolan, I'm sorry, I really don't remember who I am, can you tell me about it?"
Xiaolan turned her head to look at her: "Sister Xiaoyue, don't scare me, Grandma scared me when she came to my house today." ”
"I really didn't lie to you. Millet responded to her with a very sincere gaze.
"Sister Xiaoyue, you mean it really! Then what do you want to know, you ask me, and I will tell you everything I know. Xiaolan looked at her with some pity.
What kind of person is Xiaomi, that is a person who has studied for a doctorate, although he has not yet graduated, as soon as he comes, he wants to figure out the background of the times, so he asks what dynasty is now, who is the emperor or something.
Xiaolan was stunned by her question, touched her head and asked, "Sister Xiaoyue, are you feverish and confused?" ”
Xiaomi suddenly reacted, and if there was a problem with her question, she asked Xiaolan to pick up what she knew.
So Xiaomi knew the first-hand information after her crossing, although a lot of it was fragmentary, after all, Xiaolan was just a little girl in the mountains and didn't know much.
From Xiaolan's words, Xiaomi analyzed and obtained the following useful information: The place where Xiaomi lives is called Dongshan, maybe it is called Dongshan in the east, and there is a village called Dongshan Village at the bottom of the mountain. There are less than a dozen families living in the village, and they all know their roots. Only millet lives on the mountain, no, it's Xiaoyue and her Grandma Wen. Grandma Wen is a lonely old man who makes a living by picking herbs on the mountain, and Xiaoyue is an orphan who was picked up by Grandma Wen and raised to this day. Xiaolan's family is in a col halfway up the mountain, and the family makes a living by hunting. Maybe the geographical location of Dongshan is too easy to be breached, there are gentle slopes on all sides, and the woods are not dense, so there is no garrison here, but there is a checkpoint ten miles away from Dongshan, and the group of people who came to the house today should be the officers and soldiers of that checkpoint. But Dongshan often fights, and the side where Satsuki lives is ruled by a country called Great Britain, and on the other side of Dongshan is a country called Mi Guo, and the two countries are often at war, and the purpose of the war is nothing more than to grab territory. Xiaolan's father was drafted into the army at the beginning of the year, also because the two countries were about to go to war recently. And Satsuki's true identity should actually be a post-war orphan. It seems that other information can't be asked from Xiaomi's mouth.,And this world has nothing to do with the world she is in.,She thinks maybe it's some parallel world.。 However, Xiaomi still wants to know more about his situation in this world, so he wants to ask his age or something, just opened his mouth, the soldier guarding the door seemed to hold back for a long time, and scolded loudly: "Don't be like a fly, buzz, shut up!"
Xiaomi and Xiaolan stuck out their tongues in fright and stopped talking.
The sky outside slowly brightened, and the morning star was on the other side of the sky, and suddenly it became brighter, brighter than the moon, and it seemed that the night was going to pass soon, but what else was waiting for Xiaomi in the future, she didn't know.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the yard, and Xiaomi thought that Lin Tou'er should be back.
As soon as Lin Tou'er stepped into the room, he found that the two little girls before were still leisurely leaning on the table, sitting on a stool waiting for him to speak.
He stomped his feet in annoyance, Xiaomi and Xiaolan glanced at each other and understood, jumped off the stool, and knelt down together.
Lin Tou'er thought that these two people really didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and said sullenly: "The old woman you said is dead, and no one has proved your identity." ”
Xiaomi panicked and didn't know what to do, and Xiaolan's eyes were red and she was about to cry.
Millet settled down and said, "How did Grandma die?"
Lin Tou'er didn't answer, staring at Xiaomi motionlessly.
Xiaomi knew that she must not panic at this time, she pinched her thigh with her left hand, and she immediately held back tears in her eyes, and her voice immediately cried: "Impossible, Xiaolan clearly said that Grandma was only injured, you return my grandma!"
Lin Tou'er thought to himself, Lao Tzu was busy all night, and he didn't even catch a bird, and he was angry in his heart. The soldier holding a torch next to him said, "I think I died of blood loss." You should ask someone from the secret kingdom to ask for your grandma. Xiaolan heard Xiaomi's crying, and couldn't help but cover her eyes and cry loudly.
Although Lin Tou'er led the troops to fight, he couldn't hear the woman crying, and he said in his heart: "These two people are unknown, escort them back to the barracks, temporarily detain the slave camp, and take them away!"
Millet thought to himself that this is terrible, how did he become a slave! Just as he wanted to argue, Lin Tou'er turned around and left, and rode a horse outside the courtyard and rushed down the mountain. Xiaomi was really unlucky, hearing Xiaolan's cry, her tears of fake drama also fell and fell to the ground.
In this way, Millet and Xiaolan were taken to the slave camp, changed into linen clothes with numerical numbers, and began the life of slave girls.
Although Xiaomi feels aggrieved and wronged, there is no place for redress here. And as soon as he entered the barracks, the forest head was gone, as if he had never seen it before.
However, Xiaolan felt that the treatment in this slave camp was better, because the slave camp was basically all women, and the food was not bad, and the labor was not heavy, just to help the soldiers make up and wash, and there was nothing else to do. However, most of the people here are from the secret country, so the soldiers are very strictly guarded, and they are worried that they are spies, so Xiaolan and Xiaomi dare not talk to them.
Millet is worried about what their future will be, here they are just a number, when receiving food, 46 who heard others shouting several times knew that it was him. She was unwilling, because she had always taken the future into her own hands, and it was very frustrating to suddenly find that she couldn't control it. However, Xiaolan thinks that she is uncomfortable because of the loss of her grandmother and has been comforting her.
In this way, more than half a month has passed, and every day Xiaomi is thinking about how to escape, but there are many difficulties. In between laundry, she observed the terrain of the slave camp. This is a mountain col, and it is not the officers and soldiers of the front line who are stationed here, but similar logistics. There are a lot of tents set up here, and there are food and clothing in them, as well as weapons and supplies. It is said that male slaves were sent to the front to work as coolies, while female slaves were left here to do some labor. Therefore, the guards here are not strict, but because it involves military supplies and grass, the soldiers in charge are also conscientious. And Xiaomi found that there were no vices such as military prostitutes in the military camp here, so she felt a lot more relieved, after all, it was the first thing to ensure the current physical and mental safety.
When washing clothes by the stream, Xiaomi saw for the first time what she looked like after crossing, she was a little disappointed, this person named Xiaoyue was really not as good-looking as herself, her facial features were ordinary, and she couldn't see it when she threw it in a pile of people. You must know that Xiaomi's appearance needs to rely on big black-framed glasses, mushroom heads, and oversized clothes to hide her true appearance. Why do you want to hide your appearance, in fact, you are harmed by the rumors of lace. looks so good, and it's not a matter of lace if you don't look for a boyfriend, and it makes Xiaomi depressed, so I'm getting less and less concerned about dressing up. But after thinking about it, it is not necessarily a bad thing to have an ordinary pair of easy now, and it is worth being happy that the brain of this body is still Xiaomi's doctor's brain. Xiaomi was looking at Xiao Lan who was washing clothes next to her, she found that in the days of living in the slave camp, Xiao Lan actually gained weight, Xiaomi suddenly felt speechless, this little girl is really innocent! Aren't you afraid of being fattened and slaughtered for the New Year?
When she sleeps at night, Millet always doesn't fall asleep easily, and it's not easy to dream when she falls asleep, in fact, she wants to wake up in her cramped doctor's single room, alas, she can't help but sigh softly. "Sister Xiaoyue, don't worry, my father is also in the British army, and when we meet him one day, the two of us will be able to clear our name!" Xiaolan comforted her softly.
"Uh-huh!" Mi replied perfunctorily, "Sleep! I'm fine." ”
"I heard from the old man of the village that the British army is very brave, and should soon be able to defeat the secret country, and when the time comes, we can find our father, and we can go back to Dongshan. Xiaolan looked at her, and her eyes were full of hope.
Xiaomi looked at her full of hope, and she had no choice but to respond: "Yes, we will be safe if we find your father." "Actually, what Xiaomi thinks is that this war is so cruel, who knows whether your father is dead or alive, and you can't pin your hopes on an unknown person, but what can you do. Suddenly, she noticed a wolf-like eye looking at her on the other side, and she knew the man. From the first day she and Xiaolan entered the tent, the woman had been observing the two of them. Xiaomi's observation ability is still very strong, although she pretended not to pay attention to this woman, but she is also secretly observing this woman. Here, they don't have names, only the numbers on their clothes, and Xiaomi and Xiaolan are 45 and 46. And this woman is No. 1, which means that this woman is the first woman in the slave camp, so is she a spy of the secret country? Millet sometimes comes up with this idea, but more often, Millet is painstakingly trying to find a way to escape. They slept in the bunk, and Millet watched No. 1 lie down slowly, but she knew that No. 1 did not close his eyes, and at this time a man suddenly broke into the tent.
At this point in time, there were also some female slaves who did not fall asleep, and those who fell asleep also woke up, and everyone looked at the two men who broke into the tent in panic. Xiaomi quietly pulled Xiaolan and slowly moved to the corner of the tent, looking at the intruder.
After all, they are slaves, they have no freedom and no means of resistance, so they can only obey people's orders.
