Chapter 2: The Mine Star and the Mine Slave

Lao Qin felt a little cold on his body, and saw that he was only wearing big pants, and in retrospect, he seemed to have slept without a coat before.

If it weren't for the pain of his left wrist, he would ......, thinking of this, he unconsciously looked at his left wrist.

"Huh? Isn't there a bracelet? Why is there nothing now? Lao Qin was in a trance for a while, touched it with his hand, it was as smooth as before, and pressed, there was nothing abnormal, there was not even a pattern.

"Where is this?"

Lao Qin got up and got out of bed, but he didn't feel as before, his legs were a little heavy, as if his whole body was a little heavy, so he raised his legs and tried a few times, and found that it didn't have much impact, looking around, next to a shabby table in the house, there was a dark brown pants with a lot of black spots and dirt, Lao Qin looked at it and felt a little familiar, he didn't think much about it and was used to wearing it, he couldn't go out in big pants.

I put on my pants and felt that they fit well, but I couldn't find any shoes, and the inside of the shack was clean, clean except for a gray-black stoneware bowl on the table and a similar oil lamp.

There was no way, Lao Qin could only push open the door of the house with his bare feet, like a fence door.

The air outside was a little cloudy and smelled strange, something like burning sulfur, or burning oil or metal, but it wasn't very heavy.

At a glance, there were several such sheds not far away, Lao Qin felt very strange, where is this?

Not far away, there was a pile of firelight, and there were figures shaking. In the distance, there are more than a dozen tower-like objects standing.

Lao Qin walked towards the firelight, stepping on the land and small stones on the road, which made Lao Qin not walk fast, he was not used to walking barefoot on the road.

Around the fire, there were more than a dozen people sitting around. Most of them were topless like Lao Qin, wearing dark brown pants. Hardly anyone spoke, and the light of the fire was reflected in them, and the faces of these people were dim, and a cauldron was burning on the fire, and something like porridge was boiling in a large pot made of clay.

Lao Qin walked to the person sitting in it, it seemed that this person was not young, with messy hair, a face full of vicissitudes, and his appearance was estimated to be over 50 years old, looking even older than Lao Qin.

"Excuse me, where is this?"

As soon as he spoke, the people around him looked at Lao Qin in surprise, and almost everyone stopped moving, all showing shocked expressions.

The old man raised his head, and at this time, in the flickering of the firelight, Lao Qin saw clearly that the old man's chest also seemed to be tattooed with a row of numbers, "40674"!

"%#@#@&,#&&......@", it took a long time for the old man to speak.

The old man was also surprised, and at the same time looked frightened.

"Huh?" Lao Qin was also surprised, what is this? This doesn't seem to be a domestic or foreign desert island?

Didn't understand! Obviously, neither side understood.

Everyone saw Lao Qin clearly, and there was a panic, the old man hurriedly pointed to a young man and said something, the man hurriedly ran to a shed not far away, and after a while, the round thing in his hand ran back and handed it to the old man.

The old man stretched out his hand and pressed a few places on it, and then said to Lao Qin:

"41082, what are you talking about?"

This time it was Lao Qin's turn to be surprised, "41082? Lao Qin thought that the person he met on the way off work who disappeared did not have a row of numbers on his chest, so he wrote "41082"!

How did I become 41082, Lao Qin secretly wondered.

The old man continued, "Didn't you get taken away by the orcs before?" How did you come back again? ”

"Beast soldiers?"

Lao Qin was even more surprised, the old man also noticed that there was no number on Lao Qin's chest at this time, stepped forward, looked at Lao Qin carefully, and looked at him with envy.

"You've finally become a free man."

"What free man?" , Lao Qin opened his mouth and asked.

"Huh?! Have you forgotten? ”

"Could it be that after becoming a free man, they brainwashed it?"

Lao Qin scratched his head, a little confused, and didn't know how to answer.

"Becoming a free man and coming back here?" The old man was also full of questions.

"Well, may I ask my brother, where is this?" , Lao Qin repeated the previous question again.

"This is the 17th Mine Star, which can also be said to be the Sin Star, the Mine Star that mines for the Protoss, and we are all mine slaves." As he spoke, the old man's face darkened.

"Protoss?" Lao Qin was stunned again, "This is not the earth?" ”

"Earth? Haven't heard of it. ”

"So how can I get home?" Old Qin, the old man sighed almost at the same time.

"All the slaves who come here are mine slaves, and they can only mine in exchange for food to barely survive, where is there a home." The old man said, as if he remembered the past, and his face became even darker.

Lao Qin couldn't continue to ask deeply, so he changed the topic.

"Brother, what do you call you? How long have you been here?

The old man stopped talking, muttered for a long time, and opened his mouth to say, "The people here don't have names, only numbers, even if they used to be, they don't need them now, my name was Banga before, Jeffie Banga, I don't remember after coming here for a long time." But it seems to be younger than you, so you don't have to call me brother. ”

Younger than me, Lao Qin was secretly stunned in his heart, but why does it seem to be older than me, I guess it is younger than 41082.

Lao Qin looked around and saw that everyone was just listening to the two of them, but they didn't interject.

"Why don't they speak?"

"Alas, most people come from different places, speak different languages, and don't need to communicate except mining, what do they say? They are all hard-working people, and they won't say anything after a long time. ”

"And you don't have a number on your chest, everyone is a little unaccustomed, people here have numbers, only free people or beast soldiers outside, there is no number."

“……”

"Then the 41082 you said is also here?"

"Yes, I was captured by the orcs 70 days ago."

"Banga, after looking at the thing you just asked someone to bring, I can understand what you said, what is that?"

"I don't know what that is, it's just for translation, it's given by the orcs, and every mining team has it. Whenever the beast soldiers come to collect the ore, they need this to distribute the mission, because we don't understand what the beast soldiers say, so we bring this, which is said to be something of the gods. As he spoke, he handed it over, Lao Qin took it in his hand, looked through it, and didn't find anything else, but it was a little round, there was no seam, but there were a few dents on one side, obviously Banga pressed these dents before.

The other side is almost smooth, but if you look closely, there are some very faint patterns, like words, but they are extremely complex, and Lao Qin has never seen them.

Banga was happy to hear his name called, much closer than to being called a mine slave.

"What is the name of the earth you are on the original planet?"

"Qin Feng."

"Well, what a strange name."

Banga looked at what was boiling in the pot and said, "Let's eat." ”

Hearing this, everyone took out stoneware bowls, and the person who ran to get something just now picked up the wooden spoon next to the pot and gave everyone a large bowl of something like soup and porridge, and everyone sat down next to the fire with the bowl and ate it slowly.

Banga said, "Where is your bowl?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but watch the work plus, but they didn't say anything.

Lao Qin then remembered that he hadn't taken anything, and thought that he had just seen the bowl on the table in the house, which was probably his own, so he wanted to go back and get it, so he had to say, "Wait, I'll get it." "Then he walked back.

The sky was even darker, and when I walked back along the road, the appearance of the shed was almost the same, it was not easy to identify, Lao Qin stood in front of the shed, a little hesitant, not knowing which one was his own.

At this time, the person who took the things just now followed, pointed to the room in front of Lao Qin, said a few words, nodded at Lao Qin, and pointed to an inconspicuous small wooden sign next to the shed, with the words 41082 written on it.

Lao Qin understood that this was his own shed.

He went into the house and picked up the stoneware bowl, followed the young man back to the cauldron, and looked at the young man with "40793" tattooed on his chest.

The young man gave Lao Qin a bowl, came to Banga's side, and drank it slowly with the bowl, and no one ate it with a spoon.

The things in the bowl are not delicious, there is a special taste, just like the smell that Lao Qin smelled when he just woke up, a sulfur smell, Lao Qin frowned when he drank it, it was really unpleasant.

Looking up at the others, they were all eating with their heads bored, even Banga, everyone was silent.

Although the food is not delicious, there is a feeling of fullness in the stomach when I drink it, and the stomach is also a little warm. After eating, everyone went back to their own sheds one after another, and it was strange that everyone seemed to have their own sheds.

Although Lao Qin had a lot of questions to ask, Banga seemed to be very tired, waved his hand, and walked straight to his shed, Lao Qin lost the interest in asking questions, leaving Lao Qin in a daze for a while, and also walked back to his shed.
