Chapter 2: The Strongest Among Slaves
After adapting to the darkness again, Lin Tianxuan, who had just eaten white radish, temporarily put aside his random speculation about demons, ghost kings, and northern military towns, calmed down, and slowly calmed down.
The main problem is that Lin Tianxuan knows too few things now, and even if he wants to break his head, he can't figure it out, so he can only find a way to inquire from others. And the most important thing is not to think about the strange things, but the most important point.
How did he escape from this cabin and the sturdy slave hunters?
So with a belly full of curiosity, he began to observe the slaves around him again, trying to find someone to talk to. They were all young men of about thirty years of age, and seven or eight boys and women of thirteen or fourteen years of age, but all of them were yellow-skinned and thin, and seemed to have not eaten for a long time.
If so, it is easy to explain that young and healthy slaves can be sold for a good price, but slaves who are too strong and powerful will rebel against their masters, so starving these slaves is a very normal thing, and it is the inevitable thing that every experienced slave owner will do.
He cautiously continued to look around, and found that the slaves were all looking at him vigilantly, looking him up and down at his strange dress, obviously very guarded, so that he didn't know how to ask if he had a stomach.
Lin Tianxuan also noticed that these slaves seemed to be surrounding a person, and the shadows were too dark to see, but a scaly claw could be seen from the crack in the person, and from the cloth wrapped around his body, it seemed that he had just been injured by Yan Zhan not long ago, and he was lying there recuperating from his injuries. The surrounding situation seemed to be loose on the outside and strict on the inside, full of vigilance, and it seemed that he was very wary of the newcomer Lin Tianxuan.
Lin Tianxuan didn't dare to move forward too much, he quietly stayed in a corner by himself, did not communicate with others, and happened to study his golden finger.
At this moment, his head was still aching and dizzy, so he simply maintained his QQ farm, quietly ate a few white radishes, and recovered his state, almost nothing else could be done.
After another half a day, Lin Tianxuan's headache finally improved, and he put away the second wave of white radish, fortunately, the backpack in the QQ farm did not occupy the actual space, otherwise the harvest of twenty-five large radishes may not have a place to put it.
At night, Lin Tianxuan hid in the corner by himself, and secretly ate two white radishes to quench his thirst and hunger. And I don't know if it's because of the sun aura that the white radish absorbed when it grows, after eating it in the stomach, the effect of benefiting qi is particularly obvious, and the stomach is hot and bulging, and I am afraid that it is full of qi, and his spiritual head has also recovered a lot.
Lin Tianxuan couldn't help but think in his heart that if his brain space was larger, he might be able to project a game with combat power such as Diablo, and then he would rely on the ability in the game to kill all the slave hunters who beat him with his stuffy stick!
Not to mention Diablo, even if he can grow some rare medicinal materials in his QQ farm, he can refine the pill to upgrade crazy like Han Ranran!
Looking at the dark and dreary cabin and those lifeless slaves, Lin Tianxuan thought hard in his heart about how to get out of this predicament. I can't help but think that my brain is about to explode.
He still doesn't know this world at all, he can only roughly know that this is a world similar to ancient China, but there are monsters and monsters and the like, and these demons and monsters can actually raise humans!
If it was a historical world, he could also consider resisting and escaping, believing that with his IQ, he could still find a chance. But if this is a world of martial arts or immortals, if you want to escape with your own body, you will be dead.
I just don't know who the man around the group of slaves is, and why was he so badly injured?
I don't know how long it took, it was probably half a day, according to Lin Tianxuan's estimate, it should have been late at night by now, and suddenly the ship shook suddenly, as if it had touched some dock, and directly squeezed out two of Lin Tianxuan's farts, fortunately, the cabin was already smelly and dark, and he couldn't see anything at all, Lin Tianxuan felt a little better at this time, and his face was not so hot.
Then the hatch of the cabin was suddenly opened, and a bright light source shone in from the hatch, and the entire cabin lit up, and suddenly the light shone on the eyes of every slave who had been accustomed to darkness for a long time, and Lin Tianxuan almost didn't go blind.
Before he could react, someone with steel knives began to drag the slaves out of the cabin one by one, tied them with hemp ropes, and strung them out in a string. The slaves were as numb as catching chickens in the middle of the night, and they were caught by the slave traders. Lin Tianxuan noticed that it was actually at night, but the light they used was a very bright oil lamp, so that the slaves could not adapt to the light in a short time, as if they were blind, so they had to let them do it.
It seems that in this era, people's food nutrition still can't keep up, and I'm afraid they all have various night blindness. The slaves stumbled and shook their tired legs, not at all able to resist.
Later, Lin Tianxuan, who was full of farts in his stomach, was also pulled out, with a rope tied to his hand, and walked forward at the back. Among this group of people with an average height of less than 1.6 meters, Lin Tianxuan's height of just 1.8 meters stands out from the crowd and is very eye-catching.
It seems that the slave traders wanted to stop here for the night and leave the next morning. It was also not safe to keep the slaves on the ship, it was easy for people to steal, and it was easy for accidents to happen. And every night to count, it is also convenient for them to know the number and status of slaves, which is a good habit of this slave hunting team, and it also relies on this way to ensure the quality of its own supply.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Tianxuan carefully observed the surroundings and found that this should be an ancient style town, and the clothes worn by the people around him are also in ancient style, which era is not easy to say, probably the cultural and economic level between the Tang and Song dynasties in China, even the road is muddy, and it is not very comfortable to walk.
Most of the buildings next to it are civil structures, and many of the exposed earthen walls are not even powdered, which is very crude, and few of these buildings are more than two floors, and most of them appear very low.
Not far away is the city wall of the county seat, which seems to have some momentum after all, and the high wall of nine zhang high squats there from afar, like an inviolable giant beast, ready to devour a worm that dares to offend it.
The only thing that surprised Lin Tianxuan was that the city wall of this town did not wrap the port into it, and I don't know if it was because the budget was not enough, or because the port was built later than the city wall.
After paying some entry fees to the port checkpoint, Lin Tianxuan's group of slaves drove into the port like sheep, and before they went far, they were locked in a livestock shed near the port, and locked up with other slaves one by one.
Before being locked up, Lin Tianxuan was also searched very carefully, and after confirming that he did not have any sharp weapons on him, those slave hunters and traders were relieved to tie him up with other slaves.
Lin Tianxuan noticed that not far away, the person who was surrounded by many slaves was also strung out, after this person stood up, he saw that he was very tall and strong, about 1.9 meters tall, and the muscles on his body were like iron fitness athletes, showing off the outside with edges and corners, the perfect inverted triangle figure, like a leopard full of wildness, he was really wrapped in a lot of dirty cloth strips, and there were dried blood stains on the cloth strips, it looked like he had indeed suffered serious injuries. He even wore heavy handcuffs and shackles on his hands and feet, which was obviously a key target.
The strong man's eyes were squinted, apparently not controlled by the sudden bright light, but staggered forward, looking very weak, and he looked around very carefully, showing that he was different from other slaves. But after glancing around, he immediately lowered his head, hiding the sharp gaze in his eyes, and looked like a seriously injured person who was too weak to do anything.
Only Lin Tianxuan paid special attention to him, so he saw this scene, and the others didn't notice this at all.
The feeling that Lin Tianxuan had just now was that this was a fierce tiger that had accidentally fallen into Pingyang, sharpening its minions, ready to jump out of the trough at any time and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy. Lin Tianxuan suddenly had a feeling that his escape this time was probably up to this man, and he couldn't help but quietly follow the strong man.
