Chapter 9 Live Differently
Raising his hand and gently patting the dust off his shoulders, the slave turned around and faced the slave again.
However, when he saw the slaves one by one, they were dumbfounded, envious and surprised.
A touch of pride couldn't help but appear on his face.
I secretly said in my heart, "I still like to see this group of hillbillies, I haven't seen the world......"
After thinking about it, he cleared his throat and asked in a loud voice, "How is it? What else do you say? If no one can lift it, it's no wonder I didn't give it a chance!"
As soon as the words fell, the black thin slave gritted his teeth and glared. Clenched his fists, stepped forward, and yelled, "Hugh has to bully no one in the slave cave!
In the face of this arrogant black slave.
The slave who stood was like a falcon, staring at him indifferently.
The sitting slave you was like a tiger, staring at it calmly.
The black thin slave looked down at the two thousand pound stone locks on the ground, and his breathing was slightly short.
Today, he's a bit desperate.
This is also something that cannot be helped, for today, the black slaves have been preparing for several years.
Make slingshots, hunt sparrows, eat bird meat, and even chew and swallow feathers.
Catch poisonous snakes in the mountains, swallow snake gall and drink snake blood......
...... The hardships I have endured are innumerable.
All this, for what?
Isn't it just to be able to train a strong body, for today's sake!
......
In fact, the black slaves were fully sure that they could participate through the selection last year, with all their hopes.
But alas, bad luck.
Before it was his turn, the sun went down.
Unexpectedly, this year is like this again!
The black slaves were not reconciled.
He didn't want to wait another year.
No one can predict what the situation will be next year.
So he wants to seize this opportunity, even if he knows that this "opportunity" is a game that the slave soldiers deliberately tease and make difficult, but he still wants to seize it, even if it is to fight for his life!
The slave thirteen in the back silently watched the back of the black slave and thought thoughtfully.
The slaves in the slave cave have always cultivated with the goal of lifting a thousand catties, but now it has suddenly risen to two thousand catties, and no one is sure that they can lift it.
Can this skinny black slave do it?
Slave Thirteen couldn't judge either. can only hope from the bottom of his heart that he is not reckless......
The black thin slave struggled to calm his breath and adjust his breathing. No one will rush him at this moment, he can take his time.
Keep your feet shoulder-width apart.
The black slave bent down, each holding the handle of a stone lock in each hand.
Bend your knees slightly, take a deep breath, and hold the breath.
Then the legs, knees, waist and arms are instantly exerted!
But listen to a soft sound of "sting!".
The already tattered clothes on the black slave's upper body were shattered by the bulging muscles on the back of his shoulders.
He let out a dull roar, and the two thousand pound stone locks suddenly left the ground!
With the huge inertia formed by this instantaneous explosive force, the black slave threw a pair of stone locks over his head!
He lifted it.
......
However, after seeing this scene, Nu Chen and Nu You's faces showed sneers one after another.
Slave Thirteen frowned.
Although the black slave relied on the huge explosive force inertia at this moment to lift a pair of stone locks above his head, because his body was too thin, he obviously couldn't support the weight of these two thousand catties!
Really!
His arms were instantly unbalanced, and his spine tilted to the left!
Then I heard a "click" sound of bones colliding.
The black slave screamed miserably, and the stone lock broke free and fell to the ground with a bang.
When I looked at him again, he had already fallen heavily into the dust.
Covering his waist with his hands, he curled up in a ball, moaning in pain and rolling in pain.
The black slave's waist was broken.
......
"Hahahaha!...... Hahahaha!...... Hahahaha!!"
Nu Chen covered his eyes and laughed.
Nuyou sat on a chair, slapping the table and laughing.
"The things that don't measure up to your own strength have broken your own waist...... I'm really going to laugh to death!!"
"This is the best performance I've seen today, hehehe......"
......
Humiliation, unwillingness, pain!......
At this time, the hearts of the black slaves were mixed.
His waist hurt to the bone marrow.
The pain made it so painful that he couldn't hear the sound in both ears, and he couldn't hear the laughter and scolding of Nu Chen and Nu You.
But I can still see their faces clearly through the blurred vision that is gradually blurred by tears.
Am I going to die?...... Is that the end of it?...... I'm so unwilling......
...... It's okay to die like this, and it's no longer so hard to die when you die!
The black slave closed his eyes in despair.
Nuyou sneered and got up from his seat, walked around the table, and walked to the black slave who had fallen to the ground.
He looked down at the black slave and smiled, "You really look like a dead dog now." ”
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with murderous intent and he was about to raise his foot and step on the black slave's head.
"Your Excellency. ”
......
"Huh?!"
This is the second time that Nuyou's urge to kill has been interrupted.
He was interrupted by the same low, hoarse voice.
Nuyou stopped his movements and looked at the source of the sound.
That's right.
The one who is blocked by the exit is still Slave Thirteen.
"It's you again...... What do you have to say this time?!"
Slave Thirteen smiled hoarsely, "This kid has been contradicting the two adults since the beginning. If he is trampled to death like this, it is too cheap for him. ”
When Nu You heard this, his eyes lit up and he smiled.
"Is there anything better you can do?"
"His waist bone has been broken, and he is in pain at this time, and he will not live long. If you trample it to death now, it will be equivalent to relieving it. Wouldn't it be better to let him go and let him be tortured to death?"
"Hahahaha......" Nuyou laughed, "I didn't expect you kid to be more ruthless than me!"
glanced at the black slave who was struggling on the ground, gritting his teeth in pain, and bleeding lips, he looked up at Slave Thirteen again, and said with a smile, "Although I know that the purpose of you saying this is to save his life." But it's a good idea to let this guy die of torture. ”
Hearing this, Slave Thirteen bowed his head slightly, "Thank you, sir." ”
With that, he approached the black slave who had fallen to the ground, crouched down, lifted him up, and walked towards a stone shadow not far away.
Nu You looked at this scene from afar and sneered constantly.
In his opinion, this move is just a mutual warmth between the weak, boring!
However, the slave dust on the side, staring at the back of the slave thirteen, was thoughtful.
The impression left on him by this young man was too profound.
The young man's eyes were really calm and terrifying. What exudes from his body is a calmness and intelligence far beyond his age!
"It's not easy......"
But then he laughed to himself, "What if it's not simple? I'm afraid that's the end of today! He still can't escape the fate of being a slave." ”
After thinking about it, Nu Chen and Nu You turned around to pack their things and prepare to leave.
......
At this moment, Slave Thirteen supported the black slave and walked towards the stone shadow little by little.
The black slave was being supported and was walking with pain.
Suddenly, I heard the slave thirteen next to him speak in a low voice
"You endure a little pain. ”
Haven't reacted yet.
The black slave was shocked to feel that his waist was pressed hard by a hand!
"Uh!......"
Just listen to the click! a few crisp sounds, and the pain instantly comes to the heart!
I endured it and didn't scream.
But the miraculous thing is that it happened.
The pain is starting to lessen!
It turned out that the slave thirteen had just pressed hard, but it was to move its misplaced bones back into the right position.
It was at this time that they came to the Stone Shadow.
He helped the black slave to sit down and made him rest against the stone wall.
The black slave who sat down looked at Slave Thirteen gratefully and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Nu Thirteen didn't respond to him, but stood up and turned to look at Nu Chen and Nu You, who were about to lift the stone lock into the carriage at this moment.
Then he said hoarsely: "Please two adults, stay a few more quarters of an hour!"
Nu You turned his head, looked at Nu Thirteen, frowned impatiently, and said, "What's wrong with you?!"
Nuchen also turned to look at him, but didn't speak.
Slave Thirteen spoke lightly and asked, "As long as you can lift two thousand catties of stone locks, you can become a slave soldier." I don't know if this regulation still counts?"
Nu You spat and said loudly, "A mouthful of spittle is a nail!
Nu Chen nodded and agreed: "Until the sun goes down completely today, this rule will be in effect...... What? Do you want to try it too?"
"Yes!"
Although Nu Thirteen's face was calm, there seemed to be a fire gradually burning in the eyes of the wild fox hidden under the dry hair.
"I'm going to give it a try, too!"
Nu You smiled playfully, "Wow, I don't mind watching it again, it's a good show!"
"You can start at any time. Nu Chen looked at the young man and nodded lightly,
From the stone box next to him, he picked up a hammer used to dig ore, and removed the hammer head, leaving only the eight-foot-long copper handle in his hand.
Slave Thirteen held the copper handle and walked towards the stone lock on the ground.
In the stone shadow, the black slave, who had a slightly better back pain, looked at him intently, and for a moment he couldn't guess what this person was going to do next.
Approaching the stone lock, Slave Thirteen bent down and inserted the ends of the copper handle into the gap in the handle of the stone lock.
Then, with his right hand, he grasped the middle of the brass handle.
This scene made both Nu You and Nu Chen star, and they couldn't help but look at it carefully.
......
But seeing that the slave thirteen held the copper handle with one hand, he made a move of "iron scale pole to pick the sun and moon".
With a sound of wind, he lifted the two stone locks from the ground at the same time, and with only one arm, he lifted it above his head!
But the body is as tall as a green pine, stable as a rock.
This scene stunned everyone present!
Both Nuyou and Nuchen are unbelievable.
You must know that the reason why Nu Chen can carry double locks on both shoulders is because he is a slave soldier and has practiced the combat skills of "Iron Bone Hard Qigong"!
But Slave Thirteen, but completely relied on pure physical strength, and lifted two thousand catties with one arm!
......
Although Nu Chen and Nu You didn't want to believe it.
But Slave Thirteen did it!
Then another question arose in everyone's minds.
How did he do it?......
In fact, thanks to the energy replenished by eating wolf meat in the past two months, Nu Thirteen has maintained his own state at the best!
In this way, I have the qualifications to fight hard.
In addition, he learned the lesson of the previous black slaves that using the two-arm jerk would be in danger of losing power.
Therefore, the copper rod is used as an auxiliary, and the middle position is lifted with one arm. The two stone locks of equal weight maintain perfect balance and successfully avoid the risk of torsion of the waist bone.
......
"Bang!"
Throw the stone lock to the ground.
Nu Thirteen looked at Nu Chen and Nu You with a calm face.
"Do you think I'm qualified to pass the selection?"
Nuyou didn't reply to him, but snorted lightly and commanded loudly, "Lift the stone lock into the car and get ready to walk!"
With that, he jumped into the car.
Under the car, slave dust's eyes flickered.
Soon after, he pulled out a black scroll and a brush from his bosom.
Thoughtfully asked, "What's your name?......
Slave Thirteen took a step forward and replied lightly, "Small, Slave Thirteen!"
"Slave...... Ten...... Three ......" while chanting, he wrote down on the scroll.
After writing, he put the scroll back in his arms and looked at him, "It's not too early, help pack up, and follow." With that, he turned over and jumped into the carriage.
......
In the envious eyes of the surrounding slaves, Slave Thirteen and the six slaves who had passed the selection, including Nu Jian, carried the stone locks and other miscellaneous items onto the carriage.
After packing up, the two carriages drove out without hurrying.
The seven new slaves followed on foot behind the wagon.
Slave Thirteen, walked last.
......
No goodbye, no sadness. Seven of them left the cave without looking back.
The black slaves leaning in the stone shadows looked at the backs of those who were fascinated.
Originally, he could have been one of them......
At the right time.
The thirteen lines of slaves who walked at the end didn't count the steps, but suddenly stopped again.
He turned to look at the black slave.
"There is a stream forty miles west of the foot of Bainiu Mountain. There's a pile of white pebbles upstream, you dig it up. ”
After that, he turned around, silently followed the team, and walked into the sunset.
Although the black slave didn't know what it meant for a while, he knew in his heart that the other party wanted to help him.
A dark-skinned man, but at this moment, he suddenly choked up and burst into tears.
He raised his head and shouted at the departing figure, "Slave Thirteen!...... Live a life for us!!"
The walking slave thirteen suddenly had ripples in his heart.
It's the first time, it's really the first time...... When he was young, he didn't quite understand that this feeling was actually a hero's sympathy.
......
There was still some leftover wolf meat, wolf bones, and a wolf skin in that stream.
However, he couldn't use it anymore, so he decided to leave it to the black slave, although he didn't know if those things were still useful to the injured black slave.
However, this is the only way to do it.
In the bloody remnant sun, Slave Thirteen raised an arm and waved it slightly towards the black slave.
Whisper to yourself, "I will......"
