I don't know how long it took, Chen Ao slowly opened his eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe glare of the sun darkened his eyes, and a sharp pain came from the back of his head.

I finally recovered my strength, and suddenly I felt that half of my body was cold, as if I was soaking in water. The biting chill made Chen Ao shudre, and he turned over and jumped. There was a "bang", it turned out that I didn't feel wrong, I was clearly lying in the pond just now!

It was already dawn, but it was very windy. When the wind blew, the soaked part of his clothes was close to his body, and Chen Ao shivered from the cold.

"Where is this!" Chen Ao muttered to himself, looking around, and found that the surrounding vision was wide. The square paddy fields are scattered and seem endless. A glimpse of the deep blue coastline can be seen in the distance. Behind him was a hill, and it was impossible to tell where he was.

But the place where he stood was somewhat familiar. Chen Ao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, isn't this Yantian! When he first entered the city, he saw it, how did he come here?

Just as he was thinking, dozens of people came in the distance, making a lot of noise. Chen Ao looked over and saw that these people were in rags, carrying tools, and rolling up their cuffs and trouser legs. Although it was in the middle of winter, I walked barefoot and stepping on the soft mud.

Chen Ao was at a loss, and suddenly heard someone behind him sneering. He was startled, Huo Ran turned around, and saw a man, dressed in soap clothes, holding a horsewhip in his hand, smiling at himself.

Chen Ao was a little panicked, he didn't expect this person to come behind him silently, it was really like seeing a ghost. He trembled, "Who are you, and what are you going to do?"

The man sneered and said, "You're awake." I'm going to freeze to death for you this night! I didn't think your kid would have a big life. ”

As soon as the wind blew, Chen Ao did feel the cold and hugged his arms tightly. He struggled to remember, and suddenly remembered the events of last night, when he and several injured disciples of the Earth Demon Sect had been scuffled, and finally they were knocked unconscious.

But overnight, how could he come here? Chen Ao had a thought in his heart, and he was suddenly startled, and blurted out, "Do you know Jiao Buji?"

"Yo!" the man smiled, "You still know Second Brother Jiao." ”

Chen Ao was uneasy in his heart, the person in front of him called Jiao Buer the second brother, which showed that they were very familiar, so this person was naturally a disciple of the Earth Demon Sect. I can't imagine that I actually fell into the hands of the Earth Evil Gate, can I still have a way to live?

He asked cautiously, "You...... Do you recognize me?"

The man sneered, "I don't need to know you. Hehe, the people who came to me were not people, but livestock! Hmph, when Second Brother Jiao came here yesterday, he asked me to treat you well. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly!"

Seeing that he didn't know his identity, Chen Ao was a little relieved, but then he became even more uneasy. The dozens of people in the distance gradually approached, and it seemed that there were thirty or forty people. These people were dark-skinned and expressionless, like walking wooden people, looking at Chen Ao blankly. Obviously, these people are all salt workers.

Chen Ao's heart jumped, thinking of the words of the soap-clothed man in front of him, and suddenly understood that he had been caught in the salt field!

He was in a state of turmoil for a while, and he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, I heard the leather whip in the soap-clothed man's hand, and there was a "snap" sound. The laborers trembled and trembled.

The man in soap clothes scolded: "Fuck, it's all for Lao Tzu to work!

Where did everyone dare to disobey? They all scattered and did their own thing, but their eyes still glanced at Chen Ao from time to time, as if this newcomer had brought a touch of freshness to their boring life.

The man in soap turned to Chen Ao and said coldly: "Hehe, newcomer, you came the first day, so naturally you don't know the rules." It's okay, let's take our time! This is the rich salt farm, Lao Tzu is the steward of these dozen or so salt pans, surnamed Ma, named Zong Kui. From this day forward, you are my coolie. Do whatever I tell you to do. Understood?"

Chen Ao felt as if he had fallen into a huge abyss, and he couldn't see the sky. In the past, I have seen black coal kilns and pyramid schemes on the news. But his current situation is obviously much more terrible than both.

Chen Ao hurriedly said: "Brother Ma, you may have recognized the wrong person. My name is Chen Ao, and I'm not a worker here......"

Ma Zongkui sneered and said, "It's okay, newcomers, there will always be some discomfort, and I will slowly get used to it." ”

Chen Ao said: "No, no, no, Brother Ma, you listen to me." Jiao Buji'...... He's got the wrong person. Do you know Zhao Ling? He is a very rich squire in Haixian County. You must know him, right? I'm a friend of Zhao Ling......"

Ma Zongkui waved his hand, and he was already a little impatient, and said: "Hehe, I'm sorry, Lao Tzu is lonely and unheard, and he won't leave the salt field easily, and I really don't know what Zhao Ling Wang Ling is." No matter whose friend you are, when you come here, it's the same, you have to work obediently!"

His words were unquestionable, and Chen Ao became more and more frightened, turned around and ran. He didn't know where to run, and there were endless fields on all sides. The only thing he knew was that if the coastline was in the opposite direction, there would be a way out.

Ma Zongkui sneered and said, "Hmph, they are all cheap embryos, if you don't get a whip, you won't be honest!"

Seeing that Chen Ao ran seven or eight steps, Ma Zongkui shook off the leather whip in his hand suddenly. The whip seemed to be alive, and rolled straight towards Chen Ao. The whip just wrapped around Chen Ao's ankle, and when he pulled it, he threw Chen Ao into the mud. The salty sea water poured into his nose, choking Chen Ao and coughing violently.

Fortunately, the ground was full of damp and muddy salty mud, and although the fall was not light, it did not hurt much. Chen Ao was unwilling, got up and continued to stagger forward.

The coolies not far away looked at him in a daze, as if they were accustomed to this kind of thing. Some even have some schadenfreude and look like watching a good show.

Ma Zongkui sneered: "Don't waste your efforts, with these efforts, it's better to do more work." This is the rich salt farm, where else can you go? Hmph, do you want to go back to the county seat? Tell you, this is a hundred and ten miles away from the county seat, as far as the eye can see, and you can't hide if you want to. Do you think you can run away?"

Although he knew that what he said was very likely to be the truth, Chen Ao was unwilling to give up like this. Because he saw that the numb eyes of the coolies around him were like walking corpses. He was afraid that if he gave up, he would eventually become like them.

Chen Ao thought of Xuanning, whose life and death were still uncertain, and Liang Xiaoya, who was nowhere to be found, and had strength in his body again, and continued to run forward.

Ma Zongkui said angrily: "The boy surnamed Chen, Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, and he is already very patient with you." If you don't know how to lift again, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Chen Ao ignored it, and Ma Zongkui finally became angry and took a few steps forward. He was wearing long leather boots, and he didn't have a hard time walking in the mud, and he caught up with Chen Ao, who was stumbling and staggering, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Chen Ao heard the footsteps behind him approaching, his heart was bitter, and when he looked back, he had already seen Ma Zongkui's smiling face, and exclaimed: "Mom!"
