Chapter 6: The Sorrow of the Weak
Nu You lifted Erlang's legs, pointed to the dead bodies lying on the ground to the five slaves who were about to return to the slave cave, and ordered, "By the way, carry this thing away." ”
The five men had no choice but to drag the dead body and walk down the path.
......
At this moment, there was a silence like a midnight cemetery.
......
The triangular-eyed slave beckoned Nuyou to eat something, and he poured a sip of wine himself.
Then he swept his eyes around slightly, casually pointed to a person on the hillside and said, "Let's start with you." ”
The slave had obviously not recovered from the shock just now, and when he was suddenly clicked, he couldn't help but shiver.
He walked down tremblingly, fell to his knees with a thud, and knocked his head a few times like garlic.
The slave dust took the vegetables in his mouth, chewed them, and said, "Don't be polite, let's start."
The slave had weak legs and got up three times in a row. to stand firm.
He came to one of the stone locks, and with his bamboo pole-like arms he pulled the stone lock handle, and lifted it up with all the strength he could eat. But the stone lock that fell to the ground seemed to take root, and it didn't move.
The two slave soldiers drank and ate by themselves, and did not seem to be stingy in giving him more time to toss.
Actually, it's they who don't bother to watch.
After pulling for a long time, the slave did not lift up, and finally lost his strength, so he gave up.
But at this moment, the two selection officials didn't care about it at all, which made him either go or stay, and he stood stupidly next to the stone lock at a loss.
After most of the hour, slave dust still looked up and caught a glimpse.
When he found the slave standing there selling the bill, he became impatient. He shouted at the top of his voice: "If you can't move, hurry back to the slave cave and change the next one!"
The selection officer suddenly scolded him, and the slave shivered again, and his crotch was wet, and he was scared to pee...... hurriedly bowed and left silently.
Nuchen opened his mouth again and shouted to the slaves: "Don't you see that there are two stone locks here?!" Divide into two teams, and if you can't move, hurry back to the slave cave, don't waste time!"
After shouting, Nu Chen continued to clink glasses with Nu You and eat wine, not wanting to ask about the slaves anymore.
......
You can't blame the slaves for being stupid.
Because, in front of these two slave soldiers who can control their power of life and death, no one dares to act rashly.
At this moment, with the first loser as a foreshadowing, and after getting the orders of the slaves, the slaves were a little bolder. They began to leave the field one after another, and lined up in turn for selection.
Even if they know that they can't lift this thousand pounds of stone locks, they will try to try their luck, after all, no one is willing to miss this good opportunity to change their fate in vain.
Nu Thirteen, who was standing in the crowd of high-level gangs, looked down at everything on the field below.
Watch as the slaves try to lift the stone locks one by one.
After watching them do their best, they accept the result of defeat with their heads down.
Watch them depart in the direction of the slave slum.
......
Time passed, but the slaves who were able to pass the selection have not yet appeared.
Nuchen and Nuyou, who had drunk all the wine and eaten all the vegetables, had begun to fall asleep.
At this moment, a slave with extremely broad shoulders appeared in front of the stone lock, and his appearance immediately attracted the attention of Slave Thirteen on the high hill in the distance.
He stared at the slave.
The width of the slave's shoulders far exceeded that of ordinary people, and his bones were quite outstanding.
If you can recuperate well and cultivate diligently, you will definitely be very strong!
It's just that at this moment, he is too thin and skinny.
Even so, Slave Thirteen was still optimistic about him, feeling that this person was likely to be the first slave to pass the selection.
Really.
As soon as the broad-shouldered slave stood still, he immediately took a stance, looking confident.
He puffed out his chest, clenched his fists, and moved his shoulders.
Then he bent down and grabbed the handle of the stone lock.
I saw his waist straightened up, and his arms exerted force!
"Whew!", the stone lock was lifted above his head!
Many of the slaves were dumbfounded and cast envious glances.
Nu Thirteen guessed right, this guy really became the first person to lift the stone lock!
But.
It doesn't look like this person's stamina is not very good.
After lifting the stone lock, it seems that all of its strength has been exhausted. At this moment, although the stone lock was held high, its body began to tremble and shake.
After struggling for about three or four breaths, he hurriedly threw the stone lock on the ground.
The sound of the stone lock landing on the ground woke up the two drowsy slave soldiers on the seat at once.
Nu You opened his eyes, frowned at the broad-shouldered slave who was a little short of breath before Shi Suo, but had excitement and joy on his face, and asked suspiciously, "What happened?"
The broad-shouldered slave calmed his breath and replied, "Small...... The little one just lifted this jack of stone locks!"
When Nu You heard this, he turned his head to look at Nu Chen and asked, "Did he lift it?"
Nu Chen smiled, "I really didn't pay attention to it." ”
Seeing this, the broad-shouldered slave immediately panicked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "My lord...... I really...... It's really up!"
Nuyou frowned and motioned for him to stand up, "I didn't see it just now, you can raise it again." ”
The broad-shouldered slave kneeling on the ground trembled a little, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or angry.
He gritted his teeth and stood up helplessly.
On the hill in the distance, the slave thirteen, who had been paying attention to this person, felt sorry for him in his heart.
But if you can lift it for the first time, you can lift it a second time.
Slave Thirteen is still optimistic about him.
I saw the broad-shouldered slave puff out his chest again, and then he bent down and held the stone lock handle in his hand, and struggled upward!
On the time, the jack stone lock was lifted from the ground.
But Slave Thirteen, who had been paying attention to that scene, couldn't help frowning.
Because, at this time, the state of the broad-shouldered slave is really not ideal.
When the stone lock is lifted to its waist, it is very difficult to lift it up.
Immediately afterward, Slave Thirteen observed that the broad-shouldered slave's arm began to tremble. Soon, the shaking had a chain reaction that affected his shoulders, then his lower back, and eventually even his legs trembled terribly!
At this moment, the broad-shouldered slave let out a terrible roar, trying to fight hard and lift the stone lock.
However, he couldn't do it......
"Bang!", and the stone lock fell to the ground. The broad-shouldered slave was also thrown to the ground, his face covered in dust.
His lips were pale and he was panting, and the sticky sweat on his neck was constantly sliding down and mixing with the dust into mud.
Nuyou on the seat looked down at him, sneered, and asked, "Is this what you call lifting?"
The broad-shouldered slave gritted his teeth, sat up from the fall with difficulty, and knelt down and said, "My lord...... The little one really lifted it for the first time! It's just ...... I was so hungry that I couldn't lift the second time......"
He raised his head and pleaded earnestly to Nu You and Nu Chen, "Please give me another chance, just let me have a full meal!"
"What?!"
Nuyou's black face was distorted like a pig's waist because of extreme impatience. "Lao Tzu is here to complete this boring selection task! How can I have any obligation to take care of your food? Lao Tzu's lunch has not yet been settled!"
After listening to this, the slave on the side covered his face with his hand and smiled, "Brother You's speech is getting more and more funny......
Nu You's eyes widened, "Aren't I telling the truth? Come to this place, there is not even a person to take care of the rice!" He snorted coldly, picked up his chopsticks and put the only remaining vegetable leaf in the plate into his mouth.
Nu Chen covered his mouth, suppressed a smile, and said to the broad-shouldered slave kneeling on the ground, "...... Since you can't move, step down, there will be a chance next year. ”
The broad-shouldered slave's face turned pale when he heard this, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "My lord...... Please, give me another chance!"
Nu You threw the chopsticks on the table, glared and scolded, "Are you going to roll or not? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will make you a dead man now?!"
At this time, unwilling tears had already flowed all over the face of the broad-shouldered slave. But he didn't dare to contradict Nuyou again, because the blood on the ground had not yet dried, reminding the broad-shouldered slave that this selection officer was a ruthless man who did what he said!
He gritted his teeth, stood up, wiped a handful of snot and tears, and turned and walked in the direction of the slave cave.
Nu Thirteen looked at the depressed back from afar, and suddenly felt a little distressed in his heart.
I can't help but feel a little emotional.
"Two lazy, drunken and braggart slaves. How can we understand the importance of today's selection to us?...... Even the most inconspicuous speck of dust in the eyes of the slave soldiers, if it falls on us, it will become a mountain that is enough to crush us......"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"This is the sorrow of the weak...... I have to change this fate of being slaughtered!"
