Chapter 31: The Guilt of Exposure
Iron Spear assures Redbeard that she will take down the man in the strange black suit.
But after that, the guy didn't show up again for two days.
Redbeard's patience has also been almost exhausted, and he has been secretly watching these days, looking for a chance to get out of trouble.
However, the guards were obviously much more alert after entering the mountain, not only were they watched during the day's march, but they also tied their hands and feet before going to bed at night.
And the rope used was very strong, and it took a night for Redbeard to grind a small gap, and he couldn't break free at all, and he was found by the guards and beaten again.
This beating also made Redbeard completely give up and escape on his own strength. In the afternoon, when he was free, he secretly carved a large snake with two wings on its back on the rock wall with stones.
This is the totem of the Fog Serpent Tribe, and it is also the sign of contact they have made with those dwarves.
Redbeard only knew that there was their Neiying in the team, but he didn't know who Neiying was, and he still needed that person to come to him first.
After making the mark, Redbeard lifted his pants and returned to the group as if nothing had happened, and then had dinner.
When Iron Spear saw him come back, he immediately came up and said, "How is it, is it going well?" ”
Redbeard didn't want to lose face in front of his sister, so he put on a look of control, "Of course," he added, after a pause, "don't get so close to me, beware of arousing the suspicion of the guards." ”
"What are you afraid of, they can't understand what we're talking about anyway." The savage muttered, but sat a little farther away.
Redbeard is calm on the surface, but in fact, he has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know if the lurking Nei Ying can see the marks on the rocks, and if he will really come to him after seeing them.
He silently finished eating the bread in his hand, and I have to say that the food outside the mountains is indeed better than that in the mountains, and the Fog Snake Tribe will never give bread to the captives anyway.
Although the savages also cultivated, their methods were very primitive, and the grain yield was not high, and they had to be reopened every once in a while.
Therefore, food is very precious, and sometimes they go down to the mountains to rob and fight the dwarves, not only because of hatred, but because there are too many people in the tribe.
However, the resources for survival are limited, and only a part of the population can be consumed by such means.
That's why Old Utu and Redbeard are finally willing to work with the dwarves.
Redbeard sometimes envies Iron Spear, this woman is simple-minded, has well-developed limbs, and never worries about tomorrow's affairs, so she can say that the mountains are also very good.
After eating, the ten savage captives had precious free time to stretch their hands and feet in place, but this happiness was short-lived, and when it got dark, they were tied up again.
Redbeard lay down to sleep until he sat up from the ground in the middle of the night and gestured to the guards that he wanted to relieve himself again.
The guard cursed twice, but finally untied the ropes from his hands and legs, and Redbeard got up and walked to the place that was convenient for him.
But he was stopped by the guard behind him, "Where do you want to go in the middle of the night, just settle it here." ”
Redbeard couldn't understand him, but the guard would use the whip in his hand to make him understand.
Redbeard was whipped and did not dare to move, and then the guard pointed to his feet and took off his pants.
Isn't this a place to rest? Redbeard froze.
"Anyway, you savages are all stinky, so you go to bed immediately after urinating on the spot." The guard sneered.
Redbeard probably understood what the guard meant, glaring angrily at the other side, his head darling to the ground running, trying to find another excuse to go back to where he had left his mark.
And at this moment, another voice sounded, "Let him go, the smell of urine here is too big, it will affect other people, I will take someone to watch him and not let him run away." ”
It was a guard of the Arias family, and he was accompanied by three companions, all of whom patrolled the area at night.
When the guard saw them, he immediately put on another expression, and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "Then what's embarrassing, it's already hard for you to patrol, so I'd better go." ”
After saying that, he whipped Redbeard again, telling the latter to go faster and stop grinding.
Redbeard secretly swore in his heart that if he could get out of trouble, he would find a way to kill this guy.
However, after some hard work, he finally got his wish and returned to the place where he was relieved in the afternoon.
But it was pitch black all around, and Redbeard couldn't see any changes near the marks he had left on the rocks.
So he unbuttoned his pants and peed, then pretended not to stand on his feet, fell to the ground, and reached under the rock as he reached out and quickly touched the rock, and then he found out.
The afternoon marker is gone, or more precisely, it has been crossed out.
Redbeard had thought of many possibilities before he came, but he didn't expect the mark to be crossed out.
That said, the guy was indeed close to him, silently watching his every move, so he could notice the mark he left so quickly.
But I didn't want to have any intersection with him, so I crossed it out directly?
In other words, that guy didn't care about the life or death of their captives at all, and only thought about how to deal with the group of imperial people in front of him.
And this is also in line with Redbeard's impression of those dwarves, which makes him very angry.
From the very beginning of this cooperation, these tribes and clans suffered losses, and they lost thousands of soldiers as soon as they came up, and now he just wanted to ask the inner Ying in the team to do a small favor, but that guy didn't even want to pay attention to him.
For a moment, Redbeard, who was so angry, even wanted to poke out the existence of the inner should directly, so that the bastard would look good.
But when he thought that he couldn't speak the lingua franca, couldn't communicate with those Imperial people, and that they had sacrificed so many people, it was not easy to get here, and Redbeard could only suppress the anger in his heart again and choose to swallow this dumb loss.
On the other side, the female lord had also fallen asleep.
However, Li Yu had just gone to work early in the morning, and he was not sleepy, he was in another tent, listening to the person in charge of monitoring Redbeard report on the harvest of the past two days.
"We've found the lurking response." Tom said.
"Who?"
"It's the guy nicknamed Big Hand." Tom said, "The man I arranged for the stalker to find a wild man who had secretly left a mark on the rock wall in the afternoon by making a small gesture of untying his hands. ”
Tom couldn't help but complain as he spoke, "Those wild people are really stupid, after being honest for two days I thought they were hiding some powerful means, but it turned out to be only to this extent, does he think that he can fool us in this way?"
"The big hand must have also realized that the dwarf was likely to cause us to be wary of doing so, so he quickly went over and crossed out the mark."
