The errands who were in charge of the overseers here did not treat these prisoners as human beings at all, and if they did not go their way, they would be insulted and beaten at the least; In the worst case, the torture equipment was put into battle, and I heard that there were not a few people who died for this.

Seeing that the overseer didn't pay attention to this side anymore, Xu Weiqiu turned around and thanked the uncle, gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step. After a short walk, it was difficult to take a step, and she stood there under the scorching sun, sweating from her forehead, and the weight of her back basket was so heavy that she could barely breathe.

Gritting her teeth and walking a short distance, she could no longer support her breath and bent down, just putting down the back basket. A shadow loomed over her, and she looked up with a staggered face, only to see the supervisor who had been watching her stand in front of her, looking at her.

Xu Weiqiu panicked, lowered his head, and struggled to carry the basket again.

The supervisor stretched out his hand to stop her and asked, "You're new?" ”

"Hmm...... It's ......"

The other party frowned and looked at her, and said to himself: "It's a servant, right?" Is this small body old enough? ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Weiqiu's heart suddenly became alarmed, once he was found to be impersonating someone else to serve forced labor, he would be sentenced.

"You're fourteen?"

According to the laws of the dynasty, those who were forced into labor were required to be at least 14 years old.

"The younger one is just over 14 this year, his family is poor, he often can't eat, and he grows slower than his peers." She replied tremblingly.

The other party nodded when he heard this, and didn't ask any further, but said, "Put the things down, you go over there to dig sand." ”

Seeing that instead of punishing himself, he assigned himself a relatively easy errand, Xu Weiqiu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.

In this way, she worked in the battlefield for more than half a month, and was assigned by another steward to transport wood, and each piece of wood was of the best nanmu, if it was in the era of her previous life, the eye-full nanmu could be said to be priceless.

The wood is thick and long, and it requires a high degree of cooperation from the porter, Xu Weiqiu is small, and she feels that she is not suitable for two days of management, so she is assigned to move the stone again.

This time I went to the stone yard in the east, where the stone was bigger than the one she had carried, and after Xu Weiqiu arrived at the east field, she secretly complained in her heart; However, she was soon surprised to find that although the stones were difficult to move, they were not as bad as before.

She laughed at herself in her heart: Maybe after a period of tempering, her skin is rough and her flesh is thick.

"Why stop and be lazy? Hurry, hurry...... Hurry up....... ”

Hearing the shouting behind him, Xu Weiqiu hurriedly quickened his pace, but he didn't take two steps, and stepped on a sharp hard object under his feet, which didn't feel like a broken stone on the mountain; She stooped down and pulled something out of the gravel, and when she saw it, it was a piece of iron, the size of her thumb, with rust on the surface; She turned her head to look around, and quietly put the piece of iron into her pocket.

The stones were moved over one by one, and I don't know how much time passed, Xu Weiqiu felt a dry mouth and a bitter mouth, just when she stopped to drink saliva, she suddenly heard a noisy sound in the distance, and as the sound got closer and closer, the people who were working avoided on both sides.

Soon, a tall black horse came in the wind, and a puff of wind and dust rose everywhere it passed.

Xu Weiqiu looked at the bright white color on the horseback in a daze.

The soldiers here wore gray uniforms, and the brightly dressed supervisors were also uniformly black, and none of the coolies who worked day and night were sloppy, and the clothes on their bodies were all black and unoriginal.

As far as Xu Weiqiu is concerned, since she went to this ancient Phoenix Mountain, she has not been able to take a shower for ten days and half a month, and she is disgraced, she knows that her image at this moment is similar to those refugees in Africa.

It can be said that the entire Guhuang Mountain is gloomy and lifeless. The sudden bright white color on the horse's back is not fascinating.

"Oh my God, this living Hades is back!" Someone next to him muttered quietly.

Xu Weiqiu didn't pay attention to the meaning of these words, and his eyes followed the dusty center...... This was the first time she had seen someone galloping on a horse since she came to this other world.

Unlike the Xu family's horse, which was no different from a mule, there was a male horse in front of him, and the person on the horseback was even more high-spirited and majestic.

He rode his horse wildly around the hill and came to a halt at a high place.

Xu Weiqiu looked at the god-like immortal figure in the distance, and didn't notice where this person's gaze went, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Suddenly, the man on horseback grabbed the horse's back with his legs, and in a blink of an eye, he flew away, leaving tumbling dust flying everywhere......

"Look, don't hurry up and get to work." Not far away, a supervisor stepped forward and pushed her, Xu Weiqiu came back to his senses, but when he looked down, he saw that his tools were gone.

Here, even without tools, she still had to do the work, so she began digging sand and gravel with her bare hands.

The person next to her thought she was slow, and reached out and pushed her extremely impatiently: "Go, go over there, don't get in the way here." ”

Xu Weiqiu had to move to the side, where the location was relatively empty, and there were several prisoners in leg cuffs working, and these people were usually assigned to work in another area, in order to isolate themselves from others, and presumably to facilitate management.

But for some reason, a lot of prisoners have been arranged here lately.

The supervisors keep an eye on the prisoners, and there is usually a place for them, and the rest of the workers are reluctant to get too close.

Xu Weiqiu didn't care about this, and bent down to work hard there.

The prisoner standing beside her was tall and thin, and when he saw that she was digging for gravel with her bare hands, and that her fingers were worn by the sand, he handed her the shovel in his hand.

Xu Weiqiu saw the shovel, hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it, and when she looked up, she was shocked by the long scar on the other party's face, she was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Thank you!" ”

The other party glanced at her, didn't squeak, turned around and went back to work.

Looking at the shovel in his hand, and then at the tall and thin back not far away and the heavy iron chains on his feet, Xu Weiqiu had mixed feelings in his heart......

In the evening, when it was time to eat, Xu Weiqiu lined up with a bowl to eat, and when it was her turn, she couldn't help frowning when she looked at the two coarse grain steamed buns in the bowl.

"Aren't there four steamed buns per person?" Even the porridge in the bowl is only half the amount of other people's water.

The cook who cooked for her was fat and strong, and in the face of her objection, she glared at her angrily: "You are so small, it is enough to eat two." ”
