Chapter 81: The Slave Village

The sun is shining and the narrow paths are very difficult to walk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the past, it was all wilderness, and bandits were rampant, and there were no people living here.

Since the general Huan Chang exterminated the bandits in the territory and issued a decree to abolish slaves and reclaim wasteland, many freed slaves gradually gathered here and became villages.

The villages were very simple, and many of the houses could not even shelter from the wind and rain, and even ordinary people in the Song Kingdom would not live in such houses.

However, the villagers who live here do not have a sad face because of the simplicity of the houses, but everyone has a happy smile on their faces, and their eyes also reveal their longing for the future.

"Kuroko, when the barren land burns tomorrow, remember to observe the wind and remember not to let the fire spread too much. ā€

A tall man said to the dark-skinned man in front of him, his tone full of warning.

"Got it, village chief. ā€

The tall man had a mark of slavery on his forehead, but compared to the dark-skinned man who was visibly malnourished, he was tall and burly.

Although the tall man was also a slave before, he knew some kung fu with his fists and feet, so he used to serve as a guard for his master, and his life was able to feed and wear.

In addition, this person was quite knowledgeable, and after coming to this village where slaves gathered, he was quickly elected to be the head of the village.

"Kuroko works hard, as long as we survive this winter, we will be able to be self-sufficient, and we will work hard in the future to marry a daughter-in-law and come back. ā€

The village is obviously prosperous and yin is declining, because as a slave of a woman, as long as she has a little appearance, she will be taken into the house by her master.

As a result, the life of female slaves was much better than that of men.

Even if the general later issued a decree abolishing slaves, those women who were the concubines of their masters were unwilling to leave their masters and live a hard life.

Therefore, in this village of slaves, most of the people were men.

"Got it, the village chief!"

When Kuroko heard this, his eyes couldn't help but emit a fanatical light.

In the past, as a slave, Kuroko Mo said that when he married a daughter-in-law, he didn't even know when he would lose his life, and he had to work continuously every day, but he often didn't have enough to eat.

Now that he has gained freedom, although he has lived a very difficult life, Kuroko still has beautiful fantasies about the future.

"Kuroko, you're too useless. ā€

Just when Kuroko fell into longing, he heard an angry voice, hurriedly turned his head to look, and immediately saw a thin figure.

"In two years, when I am eighteen years old, I will join the new army formed by the general. ā€

"I don't want to stay in the village and face the loess north to the sky, I want to fight for the general in all directions, make meritorious contributions and obtain meritorious deeds. ā€

"Didn't the general say that no matter how noble or low you are, as long as you can make enough military achievements, you can be knighted for merit. ā€

"I must become a nobleman who is waited on!"

The skinny man is only 16 years old this year, and everyone in the village calls him a skinny monkey, but the skinny monkey looks only 12 years old due to chronic malnutrition.

When the village chief and Kuroko heard the thin monkey's bold words, they couldn't help laughing, but they didn't say anything to attack the thin monkey.

"Village chief, village chief, no, three green wolves have appeared in the north of the village!"

At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from a distance, and a man ran over panting, with a look of horror on his face.

When the three village chiefs heard this, they all changed greatly.

It used to be a wilderness, where wolves, insects, tigers and leopards often wreaked havoc, and when the freed slaves came to settle down, they were often attacked by wild animals.

Most of the slaves were malnourished for a long time, and their bodies were very weak, and the families were poor, so they could not even afford iron weapons, so they could only use wooden sticks and spears to deal with wild beasts.

In normal times, it is very difficult to deal with two green wolves in the village, let alone three directly.

"Call everyone up, the strong villagers pick up sticks and spears, the weak villagers hold lit torches, the beasts are most afraid of flames, as long as everyone works together, even if the three green wolves are not afraid. ā€

After the village chief gave the order, it was not long before the villagers gathered, and there were more than twenty people, either with rudimentary wooden weapons in their hands or with blazing torches.

"Whew!"

As soon as everyone gathered, the wolf howl sounded immediately, and the villagers all had a look of fear on their faces.

"Gather together, don't be afraid, don't run around. ā€

The village chief held a sturdy wooden stick in the village and shouted at the villagers to encourage the people.

"That is, yes, wolves are afraid of flames, and as long as they light torches, those wolf cubs will definitely not dare to come. ā€

"As long as everyone works together, maybe they can be hunted and killed, so that the villagers can open the meat!"

Although Kuroko looks relatively thin, he is actually bold, and he dares to fight and kill when encountering fierce beasts, and he is also quite prestigious in the village.

"Yes, yes, yes, they are all beasts, I'm afraid they will do something!"

The villagers also began to cheer each other on, and the atmosphere of fear slowly dissipated, and everyone took the initiative to rush in the direction of the wolf howl.

"Whew!"

After the villagers walked out of the humble village, they saw three huge green wolves, staring at everyone, their eyes radiating greed and ferocity.

"This, these three green wolves, it seems that they are much bigger than the wolves we have encountered before. ā€

The thin monkey looked at the three huge green wolves, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then tightened the rough wooden spear in his hand, and said a little nervously.

When the village chief saw the size of the three green wolves, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still did not panic in the slightest.

"Shout loud, wave torches, and drive them all away!"

Hearing the order of the village chief, the villagers immediately waved their weapons and shouted loudly, and the torches also flew in the air, and the green wolf seemed to be frightened, and two of them let out a few threatening roars, and then turned and ran.

Only the largest green wolf remained standing still, growling quietly at the village.

"This green wolf is not afraid of death, or we all rush out and kill it, and everyone will eat the wolf meat, and the wolf skin can be sold for a lot of money. ā€

When the villagers saw that there was only one green wolf left, they were immediately a little eager to try.

The village chief groaned for a long time, but finally asked the villagers to open the fence, and then took their weapons and forced them towards the green wolf.

"Whew!"

Seeing that the villagers had all walked out of the village, a sly glint flashed in the green wolf's eyes, and then he let out a low roar, turned around and ran away.

"Chase, don't let it run!"

When the villagers saw the green wolf fleeing, where were they willing to give up?

Everyone shouted and rushed over, and some villagers simply threw the wooden spears in their hands at the green wolf.

The originally neat formation soon became completely messy.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up!"

Seeing this, the village chief's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, but found that it was too late.
