Chapter Twenty-Three: Leaving the Mountains and Servitude
The country of the night, away from the mountains.
Hordes of slaves, men and women, were at the foot of the mountain. Open the mountain, chisel the stone.
The sun is scorching, and even in the air, you can smell the smell of sparks. The slaves were even more dirty and sweaty. The male slave **** wore his upper body, put a huge stone on his shoulder, and his black and purple skin oozed bright red blood. The slave girl used a small cart and pushed the earth and stones on the cart with great difficulty.
Even though all the slaves were already working with their hands and feet, the whip of the overseer was still ruthlessly whipped on them.
Here, it's not much better than hell.
From four o'clock in the morning to the current sunshine, Ye Hanyi has never rested. Ten fingers, all worn out. The clothes on his body have also been torn by the rocks.
Pain and exertion have driven away sleep. Finally, the overseer gave the order "Open dinner!"
The slaves swarmed and ran to the meal center.
Extremely thin porridge, blackened steamed buns. Even so, it's just one bowl per person.
Ye Hanyi silently took his share, and then found a shady place to sit down. The slave girls were visibly afraid of her, and only dared to look at her secretly with their glasses.
I thought that she would not be able to stand the pain of this slavery, but she didn't frown, she didn't even resist, she looked completely submissive. This is the same as that night, when she killed people at the speed of thunder, and she was judged to be two people.
What they didn't expect was that she relied on surprise to kill people last night, and in the face of these armed overseers, how could she have the ability to resist?
Ye Hanyi drank the porridge slowly, but his glasses kept observing the environment around him. The mountains are huge, the mountains are continuous, and what they have cultivated is only the tip of the iceberg. Because all of them had to be cultivated by manpower, not to mention the dead and wounded, the progress of the project was extremely slow.
Around the mountain, there are no less than 100 people, and it is a dream to escape from here.
"What are you thinking?" said Xiao Liang smiled and sat down beside her.
"I was wondering how I could get out. Ye Han together.
But Xiao Leng was so frightened that she immediately wanted to cover her mouth, and even looked nervously at the overseer, and after making sure that no one heard it, she whispered: "You don't want to die!"
"It's because I want to save my life that I want to escape. β
"But you see, there are so many overseers, you can't talk about it. And if they are discovered, they will use even more cruel methods against you. Xiao Liang said seriously.
"What method?" Ye Han asked.
"There were people who ran away, but the next day, they were thrown into a tiger cage. We saw with our own eyes how she was eaten by the tiger one bite at a time. A lot of blood, intestines, livers, all the same, were eaten by the tiger, and in the end, only a pair of feet remained. β
Ye Hanyi vomited all the porridge he had just drunk, and Xiao Freeze was also trapped in that terrible scene, looking sad.
"So, don't run away, I'm afraid you'll fall to that point too. Xiao Liang pleaded.
Ye Han's face was pale, and his body was weak.
At this moment, the two overseers swaggered over, they had already noticed Ye Hanyi, how could he be in the company of slaves with such a beautiful city.
When they approached, Ye Hanyi noticed that one was full of fat brains, and the other had sharp-beaked monkey gills, and they all had two flesh, but they all had a squinting face.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Liang asked vigilantly, standing up.
"It's none of your business, you stay there!" The fat man pushed Xiao Liang away, stood in front of Ye Hanyi, and looked at it unscrupulously.
"Such a beauty actually appeared in the slave pile, what a tyrannical thing!"
"But isn't it, if she is sent to the army, wouldn't it be cheaper for those brutes? Looking at her appearance, she should still be a chick, why don't you let our brothers try it first?" Seeing that, he was about to stretch his claws to Ye Hanyi's chest.
Ye Han saw that he was quick, and immediately took a step back, his eyes were cold, so that the thin man did not dare to make any more moves.
The thin man was like a demon, standing in place in a daze, the fat man saw this, he was furious, a lowly slave, how beautiful you looked, you are just a lowly slave, how dare you resist in front of him?
Although he was fat, he was a complete practitioner, and with a sudden palm, he slashed at Ye Hanyi. At that moment, Ye Han smelled the breath of death.
However, she was unwilling, and she didn't know where the strength came from, so she ducked sideways and hid behind a huge rock. The fat man's palm hit the stone, but because of his lack of skill, he was eaten by the stone and fell to the ground wailing.
Only then did the thin man react, raised his whip, and was about to wave it towards Ye Han.
"Wait a minuteβ" Ye Hanyi suddenly shouted.
The thin man smiled lewdly, "Why, now you know that you're scared?" β
"I want to make a deal with you. Ye Han together.
"What deal?" the thin man's shrewd eyes roamed over Ye Hanyi.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, just tie her up, brother, I haven't played with such a beautiful woman for a long time. The fat man said anxiously.
"I'm afraid that if you don't make this deal today, you will stick to a tree and give up the whole forest. The two of them are smart people, so they definitely wouldn't do such stupid things, right?" Ye Han said.
Xiao Liang next to him was also in the clouds.
"What do you want to say, it's better to say it clearly, don't wrap me around these fancy intestines. The thin man said, obviously, he was still very interested in what Ye Hanyi said.
"As far as I know, it has been more than half a year since the mountain was reclaimed, and now it is this unsatisfactory result. So many people, after so long of reclamation, have not even cultivated the eleventh mountain, do you think that if the upper authorities get annoyed, will they anger your overseers?"
The thin man raised his eyes and looked away from the mountain, his eyes showing obvious worry.
"If at this moment, there is a good way to reclaim the mountain, and the project progresses with half the effort, you say, as soon as the people above are happy, will they promote the person who promotes the project?
The thin man is a shrewd person, and from Ye Hanyi's eyes, he seems to see his future like a flower.
"Do you have a cure?" asked the thin man.
"It's nature. Ye Hanyi replied calmly.
"Why are you willing to help me?" the thin man's eyes flashed with a fierce look.
Ye Hanyi didn't seem to see it, but said lightly: "I'm not helping you, I'm just saving myself." β
The thin man laughed and said, "I'm afraid that you can hide past the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth." You don't know about the three-day trip to the barracks, do you?"
"I have to avoid the first day of junior high school first, and as for the fifteenth, I should make plans again. Ye Han together.
