Chapter 303: Exploring the Nine Paths Villa (3)
To the north of Jiudao Villa, in addition to a big road, is a wide vegetable field, there is a long wooden house in this vegetable garden, all the slaves in Jiudao Villa are cultivating here, to say that among the lowest-level slaves in this Jiudao Villa, the most idle work is the work in this vegetable field, a total of more than 30 acres of vegetable land, there are nearly 20 slaves working here, and this foreman is a man named Zhu Da.

The vegetables in the vegetable field are usually not for export, and they are exclusively for Jiudao Villa, so that Zhu Da will transport the vegetables into Jiudao Villa every day.
Na Zhu Da was a middle-aged man in his forties, a little fat, less than seven feet tall, his face was full of potholes, especially he had two messy arhat eyebrows, and under his eyebrows were big eyes like copper bells, which made him look even more fierce and vicious. At this time, Zhu Da set up a canopy in the vegetable field, and a chaise longue was placed under the canopy, and he was lying on the chair squinting to recuperate, holding a calfskin whip more than a foot long in his hand, and singing the new tunes in the music bar with a chirp in his mouth.
In the vast vegetable field, there were a few hideous villagers with short sticks, and about twenty slaves were working hard in the vegetable field. Bundles of green vegetables and handfuls of red peppers were plucked by these slaves and packed in baskets.
Zhu Da's squinted eyes also opened at this time, and he looked up at the sun in the sky, and it was almost time.
Zhu Da stood up, waved the small bullwhip in his hand, and said, "Big dog, load the vegetables into the car, it's time to send them to the villa." β
A nearby farmer walked over, nodded to Zhu Da, and had a flattering smile on his face, and then picked up a slave in his twenties, kicked him in the ass, and whipped the leather whip in his hand on the slave's body, making a dull sound. The slave gasped, grinned in pain, and made no sound.
"Go, pull the cart over and load these vegetables into the cart!"
......
Xiong Qiang looked at this scene coldly, and his heart was full of anger. When he saw that slave, he remembered his past!
After loading the car, Zhu Da and the splashy man called the big dog led two slaves and pushed a cart of fresh and fine vegetables slowly towards Jiudao Villa.
When the four of them had just left the vegetable field and were about to turn onto the road, Xiong Qiang and Bai Hou Ye appeared in front of them, Zhu Da glanced at Xiong Qiang's tall figure, as well as Bai Hou's elegant aura, knowing that these two people must be not small, although he was a little dissatisfied with these two people blocking his way, but he didn't dare to offend these two people.
He arched his hand slightly towards the two of them, and said with a smile: "Two masters, please let me!" This dish was sent to Jiudao Villa, and it was too late, and the small ones couldn't afford it. β
Xiong Qiang showed a hint of unkindness and said, "We are also going to enter the villa, you have to send us in!"
"Ah!" Zhu Da knew badly, he had heard a little about the rumors in the rivers and lakes recently, looking at the posture of these two people, he must have been a martial artist who wanted to sneak into Jiudao Villa, and he was shocked at the moment, and he also screamed in surprise.
As soon as his mouth opened, he saw a black bean-like thing, which fell into his mouth, and then with a grunt, it was swallowed into his abdomen, Xiong Qiang's body shook and slapped him twice, and immediately Zhu Da's face turned pale, and just for a while, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
With an "ouch" sound, he fell to the ground and rolled around, and the painful struggle and wailing also made people's scalp tingle to watch.
The big dog knew that it was not good when he saw it, and he was about to spread his legs and run, but Xiong Qiang's movements were faster, as if he was a ghost, and the big dog only felt a flower in front of him, and Xiong Qiang had already arrived in front of him, and the big dog couldn't stop under his feet, and crashed into Xiong Qiang's arms.
Xiong Qiang was already furious at this big dog's casual whipping of others, he smiled gloomily and said, "You also try the taste of ten thousand insects devouring bones!" After speaking, he pinched the big dog's face with one hand, and with a slight force, the big dog's mouth opened, and then, another black pill was thrown into his mouth. As with Zhu Da, Xiong Qiang slapped the big dog twice seemingly casually.
Immediately, the big dog was like Zhu Da, only feeling a burst of itching in his body, and then a sharp pain, as if there were thousands of ants in his body biting. The two fell to the ground, convulsed violently, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down their foreheads, and their mouths let out heart-rending screams.
The other two slaves were already so frightened that they wanted to run but didn't dare to run, and when they saw the miserable fate of Zhu Da and the big dog, did they still dare to run? The two curled up together, trembling all over, and looked at Xiong Qiang with two pairs of eyes in fear, for fear that this demon would come over.
"Heroes spare their lives!" Zhu Da and the big dog slammed their heads on the ground in pain, begging for mercy.
Bai Hou's brows also frowned slightly, and he glanced at Xiong Qiang, and was still a little dissatisfied with Xiong Qiang's use of this method to deal with two ordinary people. Just thinking of the villain named Big Dog whipping the slave at will just now, the trace of pity in his heart was also much lighter, but he closed his eyes slightly, and turned around to stop looking at this somewhat miserable scene.
Xiong Qiang ignored the heart-rending howls of the two men, but walked to the side of the two slaves, helped the two trembling slaves up, showed a trace of pity in his eyes, and said softly: "Get up! From now on, you will be free!"
The two slaves looked at Xiong Qiang, the heart that was so nervous that it was about to jump out of his throat slowly calmed down, looking at Xiong Qiang's soft look, the fear in his eyes gradually dissipated, but he still looked at Xiong Qiang suspiciously.
Xiong Qiang smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, and said: "In the past, I was also a slave who walked out of Jiudao Villa, and later, I was rescued by a master, so I have now. Let's go, get out of here, go as far as possible. After speaking, Xiong Qiang smiled and took out a handful of loose silver from his arms, handed it to the two of them, and continued: "Use this money to buy a few acres of thin fields, marry a wife, have a baby, and live the life that a normal person should live." β
Looking at the silver taels in their hands, the hands of the two slaves trembled violently, and there were faint tears flashing in their dull and cloudy eyes. Buying a field, marrying a wife, and having children are the lives they have never thought of in their lives, and here, every day, they only hope that it will get dark soon, and when it is dark, they will be able to return to that dark and damp place, and vent their painful moans happily.
The beautiful blueprint that Xiong Qiang outlined for them, they may only have dreamed of it in their dreams, it is the top luxury in their hearts, and it is also an unattainable dream.
But when this extravagant hope really becomes a reality, it makes them feel too real to believe it.
Xiong Qiang knew what was in their hearts, and once, when Xiaoyaozi said this sentence to him, he also had the same thoughts. He smiled and patted them on the shoulder, and said encouragingly: "Let's go! From now on, go and live the life you want, and no one will be able to whip you at will in the future." You will have your own land, your own home, your wives, your children, your sons and your daughters, and your sons and grandchildren. β
Xiong Qiang's words passed into the ears of the two, Xiong Qiang could already hear their breathing more and more rapidly, that is the desire for a better life in the future, people of their status, to live, don't they just need a hope? As long as they have a hope, they can rebuild their confidence.
It wasn't until they were stunned for a long time that the two slaves finally came back to their senses, their dry lips moved slightly, and their withered faces showed a deep gratitude and a long-lost smile, and said, "Thank you, thank you!" Then the two knelt down and kowtowed desperately to Xiong Qiang.
Xiong Qiang helped the two of them up, with a sour feeling in his eyes, it was not the first time he had saved people, but it was the first time he felt that saving people was so touching.
......
Xiong Qiang called Bai Hou Ye over and asked him to change the clothes on his body with one of the slaves, and he himself, because his body was too tall, the other slave's body was too different from him, so he could only give up. After watching the two slaves stumble all the way out of the distance, Xiong Qiang withdrew his gaze.
At this time, Xiong Qiang walked over and slapped Zhu Da and the big dog twice on the body again, and the numbing pain on the two of them slowly weakened, Xiong Qiang said: "Send us to Jiudao Villa smoothly, this pain will not occur again, if not, I guarantee that every time in the middle of the night, this pain will attack on time, not for an hour, this pain will not be reduced, and it will be worse and worse each time, and the interval will be shorter and shorter." β
"Promise you, promise you!" said Zhu Da, sweating profusely.
Xiong Qiang took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out six pills from it, and said: "This is a three-day supply, take one at noon every day to ensure that you will not have a seizure, and after three days, I will come out of Jiudao Mountain Villa and give you the remaining four." I don't think you're going to tell it, and you're going to settle the lie for us. β
Zhu Da and the big dog hurriedly took the three antidotes handed over by Xiong Qiang, and cautiously put them into their arms.
At this time, although Bai Hou changed into the tattered clothes of a slave and had a strong sour smell, he still couldn't change his white face, and took Bai Hou to the vegetable field, and used the soil to make his hair dull and his face dirty, until Bai Hou Ye looked like a slave, and then gave up.
This kind of simplest disguise is not a difficult thing for Xiong Qiang, after dressing up for Bai Hou, Xiong Qiang also dressed himself up, fortunately, he was wearing the most inferior black robe, and he didn't need to deliberately look for it in clothing, but he also suffered a little, in order to be true, let Bai Hou Ye take a leather whip, and whipped no less than dozens of leather whips on his body, leaving a shocking whip mark and blood marks, and then smeared on his face for a while, plus he was born as a slave before, it can be said that he has rich experienceγ
Therefore, after his great change, even Zhu Da and the big dog were dumbfounded, not only in appearance, but also in that expression, with a sluggish spirit, cloudy eyes, and no desire for life and longing for the future could be seen in his eyes.
After taking care of everything, the four of them got on the road again and walked towards the gate of Jiudao Villa, but Xiong Qiang was still a little worried about Bai Hou, although Bai Hou was already seamless in appearance, but his demeanor and the kind of rich temperament he had cultivated over the years could not be pretended.
