The eight men in the prison cart were of different appearances, fat and thin, and half of them were vagrants with famine-faced faces.

After wandering around the mountains and forests of the island for more than half an hour, when they arrived at their destination, they saw dilapidated docks, rudly developed mines, and laborers who were towing overnight by the light of fire sticks.

Yue Heng finally understood that this was a bitter kiln force that specialized in selling slavery, and they were afraid that they would be forced to do labor.

Shui Sanye jumped out of the sedan chair and motioned for the personal guards to pull out today's harvest, and led out the prisoner cart one by one with chains.

Yue Heng didn't come out, obediently got out of the car, and stood in a row with the others.

Shui Sanye looked disgusted, and used the whip stick to push up the heads of their prisoners one by one, looked at them, and asked one by one.

"Will you water? won't you pull it down and let him dig the mountain!"

"What can you do when you're all so thin? Stay and waste food! Drag it away and feed it to the wolves!"

"This kid has a good physique, let's send it to dig the mountain!"

"Hey, this one looks pretty good, take it down and wash it, and have fun for the brothers!"

Here, the third master of Shui is the emperor, and his private guards are giggling, pushing the young man who looks okay, and the obscene sound in his mouth is constant, and he rubs oil near the young man's buttocks and thighs all the way, hearing that Yue Heng can't help but shake his body, the chrysanthemum is tight, and he doesn't dare to do much.

The third master of the water walked in front of him, Yue Heng didn't wait for a question, and hurriedly said: "Water, water ......"

"Will you be so ugly, drag it away and send it to dig up the sea!"

The third master of Shui had no interest in the ordinary-looking Yue Heng. This level has passed without danger.

The word digging the sea was a novelty for Yue Heng. That night he was driven to the hut where he slept for the night. Before dawn the next day, the foreman whipped people and drove hundreds of laborers to a large ship at the wharf.

The ship moved quietly in the moonlight, and more than a dozen members of the sailor guard laughed around the deck, occasionally scolding the disobedient servants, and there was no other sound.

Yue Heng noticed that the hundreds of slaves around him were all quiet, and there were numb expressions on their faces. They seem to be accustomed to all this, and they are submissive, and do not say a word, like those piglets who are kept in captivity, driven around by a group of people with whips, and let them do whatever they want, and let others decide whether they live or die.

Yue Heng didn't know where the destination was, so he waited quietly.

The waves are not big, the hull is smooth, but the wind is a little cold. Occasionally, coughing and sneezing can be heard from frail laborers.

Suddenly, several members of the guard dragged some equipment out of the deck. Aimed at the laborers in the middle of the deck.

Wow!

Four water dragons shot in, and hundreds of slaves did not panic at all, all with their eyes closed, their arms outstretched, and they surrounded in place, washing their bodies under the water dragon.

One may be that the new laborers reacted a little slower, looking at these water dragons at a loss, the water guards noticed it, and immediately came up and kicked violently, beating and scolding.

Yue Heng learned quickly, learning from those old laborers, and cleaning his body in circles.

"New here?" asked an old-looking servant in a low voice behind Yue Heng.

"Hmm!" Yue Heng turned around and carefully counted the other party.

The old laborer squinted his eyes and looked around, and whispered, "Wash up, if you have a strong human smell on your body, you will return empty-handed today." ”

Yue Heng asked quietly, "Why?"

The old laborer was inconvenient to explain more, and just as another water dragon was shooting in this direction, he simply pulled Yue Heng, took the initiative to get under the water dragon, closed his eyes and rinsed.

When the water dragon stopped, the whole ship was cleaned, and there was already a trace of red light in the sky.

A seaman at the bow of the ship waved his hand and shouted, "Line up to get into the water!"

The laborers moved, and under the command of the guards, they went to the stern of the boat one by one, and stood by the iron cages piled up on the hill.

Each laborer received an iron cage and a cowhide empty bulge, and then jumped into the sea from the edge of the boat to the platform, one after another, and soon it was Yue Heng's turn.

Without the tips of the old servants, Yue Heng could only rely on his own groping, like everyone else, and jumped into the cold sea with the things in his arms.

Poof!

The icy sea water was biting, and it quickly overhead, and Yue Heng soon floated.

On all sides of the water was a human head, and the fast-sailing boats made the laborers form a long line, and a man could be seen a few feet away.

When they poked their heads out of the water, they were all doing the same thing, stepping on the water, tying the ropes from the iron cages around their necks, opening the empty bulges, unfolding them, pouring in most of the seawater, and then tying them up again.

Yue Heng understood that this was the oldest and most barbaric method of deep diving and salvage, forcing these laborers to dive into deep water for salvage, the iron cage was a tool for the salvage target, and the empty bulge bag that only left one breath could make the laborers stay for half a minute longer.

It is no wonder that the faces of these laborers are covered with a layer of rust, and a few places are soaked to cause skin erosion, and all of them look old, and their cardiopulmonary function is not healthy, which must be the result of years of underwater work!

Yue Heng smiled bitterly, seeing that the laborers around him had started to dive, he had no choice but to dive, but with the power of the "Hong" and "Tide" runes that control the water, he was much easier than others, even if he didn't have a breathing bag, he could absorb air from the water like a fish, without the worry of drowning.

The underwater light was very weak, Yue Heng subconsciously followed the nearest person, pretending to kick his feet, and quickly dived more than ten zhang, about twenty meters deep, touching the sand surface of the seabed, he could sense that there were a large number of coral reefs nearby.

The servant did not rush to do anything, but looked around.

The windsurfing boats on the surface of the sea swam rapidly, and from time to time a strong light shot at the bottom of the sea, and in a flash, the laborer located his prey in the second moment of the flashing light, and rowed his limbs to swim that way.

As soon as Yue Heng set off, he found that this servant noticed him and looked at him with vicious eyes, as if to warn him not to snatch prey from him.

Yue Heng could only stop, signaling that he had no malicious intent, and watched the servant float up to breathe, preparing to catch the prey in an accurate deep dive next time.

After several temptations, Yue Heng finally figured out the content of the task.

The target of the laborers is a kind of conch that lives in the coral reef, which resembles a nautilus, with a huge patterned hard shell surrounding most of the body, and the two periods before sunrise and after sunset are the two times when the conch is most unresponsive, but it does not mean that it is easy to catch.

The escape speed of this conch is very fast, and it is very sensitive to the taste of people, Yue Heng saw with his own eyes that this labor was in vain, so he could only watch the conch jet water and escape, and the labor had no choice but to float up and breathe, and start again.

In addition to the conch, the laborers also had the coral reef green water grass that the conch loved to eat, and there was a sharp knife on the iron cage, which could be cut if the snail could not be caught, and the small sailing boat gliding on the sea would take the harvest. (To be continued.) )
