Chapter 108: The Black Thin Boy
Zuo Xingyan always knew that someone was following behind, but she didn't take it seriously.
Walking straight into the grass house, Zuo Xingyan put the burden on a hay mat in the innermost.
Eight or nine hay mats were laid side by side in the hut for the slaves to sleep, and nothing else.
At the beginning, when the ladies of the Jing family changed their clothes, they had already chosen a bunk, Zuo Xingyan was in the innermost, and next to her was Su Niang.
After Zuo Xingyan threw the burden in his place, he turned around and left.
When she walked out of the grass house, her footsteps paused slightly, and the corner of her eyes swept silently over the side of the grass house, and she saw a touch of earthy yellow clothes disappearing.
The corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc, pretending not to see anything, and hurried back to continue eating.
It seems that the people who follow her are eyeing her baggage, so let the other party see it.
Anyway, she only put an old dress and two dry and hard steamed buns in her baggage.
I hope that after that person turns over the burden, he will not be disappointed~ Zuo Xingyan thought evilly.
Within a quarter of an hour after Zuo Xingyan went back, the aunt of the Jing family also returned.
Her expression was not as excited as when she left before, and she even glared at Zuo Xingyan with resentment before she sat down and nibbled on her steamed bun that was already cold.
As for the bowl of porridge, everyone in the Jing family didn't drink it very tacitly, and secretly poured it out while there were no guards around.
The porridge was not drunk by people at all, it was full of black soup, and the only few grains of rice were also tinged with a strange gray-green color, and at first glance it was moldy old rice.
How to drink such a thing, it is estimated that they don't have to sleep tonight, just squat outside.
But this is the kind of thing that makes the Jing family who have been hungry for a day abandon it like a shoe, but the other sin slaves drink it like a treasure, and they will even lick the bowl clean without missing a drop.
Zuo Xingyan looked at the thin black boy not far away, his expression was a little indescribable.
The young man was the one who had the unfortunate fortune to be whipped when they first came ashore because of curiosity when they looked at them.
At this time, the young man was carefully picking up a piece of steamed bun dregs that had fallen on the ground, put it in his mouth, and licked his dirty fingers.
This group of sin slaves cherished food to a pathological level.
Is it very difficult for them to eat?
Zuo Xingyan was a little incomprehensible, even in the last days, she had never seen such a scene.
"Haven't you eaten enough?" After thinking about it, Zuo Xingyan still couldn't hold back, and came to the young man with the bowl.
The young man raised his eyes and saw Zuo Xingyan, his pupils contracted violently, and he subconsciously lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at her.
Zuo Xingyan could probably guess why he was like this, so he sat beside him gently.
"I can't drink it, this bowl ...... Porridge for you. She said, handing the bowl in her hand to the young man.
The boy was shocked, and stared blankly at the bowl of porridge that had become cold, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.
After a long while, he turned his head and glanced at Zuo Xingyan quickly, and his voice was hoarse and indisputable: "Really...... Really give it to me? ”
"Of course, take it." The young man's voice sounded like he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his throat was like being scraped by sandpaper, and Zuo Xingyan felt a little distressed for no reason.
She shoved the bowl directly into the boy's hand.
The young man's fingertips trembled, confirming that Zuo Xingyan didn't lie to him, and almost couldn't wait, he poured the porridge in the bowl into his mouth, as if he was afraid that Zuo Xingyan would regret it if he slowed down a little.
Although he drank quickly, not a drop of porridge slipped from the corner of his mouth, like a skill that he had practiced a long time ago, fast and without wasting food.
Zuo Xingyan observed that the young man ate quickly, not to mention, while eating, his eyes would scan the surroundings vigilantly, as if he was afraid that someone would come to rob him.
She took advantage of the situation to look around, and sure enough, she found that many criminal slaves were looking this way with expressionless faces, and even a few were already ready to move and wanted to get up and come over.
The sound of the young man swallowing food sounded a little weird, it didn't look like a movement that a person could make, and if Zuo Xingyan had to describe it, it looked like a dog.
Dog ......
A few sin slaves had already come over, and Zuo Xingyan looked at them coldly, secretly preparing to make a move.
At this moment, several tall figures appeared in front of Zuo Xingyan and the young man, facing directly at those sin slaves.
"Get out of here." Although Song Yunfei is not serious on weekdays, he is also very deterrent when he sinks his face.
The sin slaves were immediately intimidated, and then looking at the sturdy brothers beside Song Yunfei, they understood even more that these people were not easy to mess with, so they had to cringe and slip away.
Seeing that Song Yunfei and the others scared off the sin slaves, Jing Beihan, who was sitting not far away, silently put down the leg that was about to be raised.
"Boss, was I handsome just now?"
As soon as he scared away the sin slave, when Song Yunfei turned his head to look at Zuo Xingyan, he instantly changed into that shapeless appearance again, and asked for praise with a smile.
Zuo Xingyan rolled his eyes, "There is no Jingbei Hanshuai." ”
"Boss! I'm really sad when you talk like that! Song Yunfei covered his heart and complained very exaggeratedly.
Zuo Xingyan waved his hand in disgust, "Hurry up, go quickly......"
"I don't! I want to be by the boss's side at all times, and I want to protect the boss...... Ay! You bastards, don't drag me! ”
Song Yunfei was about to continue to show his loyalty, but the brothers in the back couldn't listen to it anymore, so they directly dragged him away by the arm.
Zuo Xingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned his head sideways, he saw that the young man had finished drinking and was wiping the dishes with his clothes.
He carefully found a cleaner hem and tried to wipe the bowl that wasn't too dirty.
"You don't need to wipe it, I'll just wash it later." Zuo Xingyan hurriedly stopped the young man.
The boy looked up at her, because he was thin, his eyes were big, "There is no place to wash the dishes, and the slave is not qualified to use water." ”
Zuo Xingyan was stunned, and only then did she remember that this was on the island, surrounded by the sea, and if she wanted to use water, she could only rely on the fresh water resources on the island.
It is indeed unlikely that such precious fresh water can be used by slaves of sin.
"How long have you been on this island?" Zuo Xingyan looked at the spotless bowl handed over by the young man and asked softly.
The boy blinked, "I was born on this island, and my mother said I was eleven years old." ”
Eleven years old? He had lived this dark life on this island for eleven years?
Zuo Xingyan looked at the young man's clear eyes, and his heart seemed to be being held by a big hand, which was very uncomfortable.
"I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with a lot of things on this island, so if you're willing to tell me, I'll give you something to eat, how about it?" Zuo Xingyan also handed the steamed bun he had received before to the young man.
The young man looked at the steamed bun and swallowed his saliva with difficulty, but did not raise his hand to take it.
"I don't want your steamed buns." He shook his head vigorously as if he had restrained his great desire.
