Chapter 1389: What the Slave Sees (I)

Joshua and the others were sent to the Datang ship on a port in Arabia, and when they boarded the ship, they were a family of three and boarded a ship, and the Datang ship was far larger than they imagined.

They were handed over to Datang at the port, looking at these heavily armed and more powerful soldiers, Joshua fell silent, he knew that he couldn't run, but ...... The ship was almost entirely staffed by soldiers.

As for his wife, Joshua thought that his wife was still very beautiful, and thinking of this, he couldn't help but grab his wife's arm, and the two of them protected their daughter in the middle.

"You three, come here." Just when Joshua was stunned, a soldier's voice suddenly sounded in front of him, and the other party was speaking in a relatively unfamiliar Persian dialect.

But Joshua and they still heard it, and Joshua's heart couldn't help but tighten, so he could only take his wife and daughter and walk over cautiously.

"This, yours." The soldier didn't speak much in Persian, but Joshua understood his movements, and the other man pointed to a cabin and said what he said.

Joshua was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously followed the soldier's finger, which was a cabin that was not too big.

There was a double bed, and a small table, which was fixed to the cabin, and on top of the double bed was some special straw with a linen sheet on top.

This...... Is it a cabin for them?

Who will prepare a compartment for a slave? Shouldn't everyone be thrown into a big cabin?

But Joshua quickly came to his senses, and hurriedly took his wife and daughter into this cabin, which was very dim, after all, the cabin of this era was not like later generations, which could be equipped with doors such as glass.

The cabins were filled with specially sealed oil lamps, but the oil lamps were not lit at the moment.

Instead, the whole cabin is lit through some special passages, and there seems to be something like a crystal that can refract sunlight and shine in.

In fact, this is just a method of refracting sunlight illumination made by using the principle of periscope, because for the current Datang, the mercury mirror is really not a rare thing, and it is not valuable.

The ventilation channels reserved for the interior of the cabin can be arranged with some mirrors, which can replace some daytime lighting.

But none of this matters, because these Datang people continue to assign cabins to everyone behind them, if a cabin is a family, a family will be allocated, but no more than three people at most, if those people are not a family, just an ordinary slave, then a cabin is also arranged for three people.

Of course, Joshua didn't know that these transport ships had also undergone emergency modifications, for example, many of the cabins had been temporarily bound into two cabins.

Anyway, the distance they transported was not too far.

Everyone quickly arranged it, Joshua was in the room, and they didn't dare to go anywhere, after all, although those soldiers arranged a good cabin for them, if they ran around, they would be hacked to death by the other party.

"Father, are we saved?" Joshua's daughter asked in Persian, she was too young to know anything else, but she knew that she had been taken away by the bad guys, and now that they had come to the ship, they had given them a place to live, and they had not beaten or scolded them.

"Yes, we are saved." Joshua whispered, what else could he say? You can't say they've been sold, right?

"Joshua, I don't think they're the bad guys." Joshua's wife whispered.

"I don't know...... But we were bought back as slaves. Joshua followed suit.

His wife was about to say something, but there was a knock on their door, and then several people pushed their door open, and the three of them instantly became nervous.

It was a soldier they hadn't seen before.

"Now I will explain to you the rules of the ship, and remember that this bucket of water, this is a bucket of seawater, not for you to eat, nor for you to drink, but if you accidentally catch fire in your cabin, you need to use it to extinguish the fire." The soldiers who came in didn't say anything at all, but spoke directly.

"If the ship is caught in a storm and most of the water in this bucket is spilled, you need to take it to the outer deck immediately to fetch water and fill it up, understand?" The soldier spoke Persian fluently, apparently having studied it specially.

"Understood." Joshua breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and hurriedly agreed, he was still afraid of how the other party would toss them, but he didn't expect to just tell them the rules on the ship.

"The ship will provide you with two meals, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and at the time of the meal, the copper bell will ring outside, and then you will go out, and then go to the back of your floor, and line up to receive the meal."

"And if you want to go to the toilet, you have a toilet in your cabin, and when you're done, take it yourself to the scrubbing area on the deck and dump it, clean it, and bring it back. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Joshua hurriedly nodded.

"Well, that's all, remember, it's not allowed to run around outside outside of these things, and whoever runs around outside does so at their own risk. Every night, we will give oil to your oil lamps and light them. The soldier said coldly.

Joshua naturally didn't dare to refute, and nodded obediently in agreement, now that the other party has treated them well enough, what else can he think?

The other closed the door and quickly moved to the next cabin, which became dark once again as the door closed.

Joshua's family stayed in their cabin honestly until dinner in the afternoon, when the sound of brass bells ringing outside, and someone shouted in Persian that it was time to eat.

Hearing the shout, remembering the previous explanation, Joshua walked out of the hatch with his family, and the doors of the cabins near them were also opened, and everyone walked out.

Everyone was in line, everyone was hungry.

Those Arabs themselves do not have enough food, how can they be fed? Besides, what if they are full of food and make trouble? So it's just that they barely starve to death.

Joshua's family followed the team honestly, and when they were about to get close to the place where the meal was served, Joshua smelled a unique fragrance, which ...... It can't be for them, right?

But the person at the front had already received the meal, a wooden plate with something that looked like a mixture on it, and a large steamed bun next to it.

Joshua didn't know steamed buns, but he was surprised by the weight and aroma of these things, which ...... Will these people feed them? Because Joshua saw that everyone had a plate in their hands.

In other words, everyone has it.
