Another day when it was time to eat, the old man suddenly whispered to Shao Yu, "Young man, come with me."

Shao Yu looked at the old man with some puzzlement, and just wanted to ask the old man what was the matter, but the old man then put his index finger on his lips and made a quiet gesture.

At this time, Shao Yu finally closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.

At this time, the old man slowly took out a handful of weeds from his pocket and handed it to Shao Yu, "This thing can satisfy hunger, but the number of this thing in this mountain is limited, I have been looking for it for a long time, and I have found so much, I originally wanted to keep it for myself to eat, but seeing that you have not looked very good recently, I will give it to you." ”

"I'm fine, old man. Shao Yu shook his head and said, "I can't ask for this thing, you can't eat it yourself, so you should keep it yourself." ”

"I'm all this old bone, maybe I'll live to see how long I can, but you're still young, maybe you'll have a chance to go out in the future, you must survive well. The old man sighed and said to Shao Yu.

After listening to the old man's words, Shaoyu really had an idea that he could still go out. But this idea, Shao Yu has been holding back for nearly a year, and it was not until the bear appeared that Shao Yu knew that his idea might really come true today.

So, Shaoyu, who was already close to despair, is now back so desperate.

During this period, Shaoyu also inquired about his father from others, but everyone's answer was that he had never seen it. It's no wonder, because Shaoyu's father has been sent to the back mountain, and now I'm afraid he has gone to another world.

"I said, do we have an example here that survived the Houshan in the past?" Shaoyu suddenly thought of the word Houshan, and immediately looked at a slave on the side and asked.

"As far as I know, so far no slave has been able to enter the back mountain before coming out," the slave's words immediately made Shao Yu fall into deep thought.

It can be seen that this back mountain is an extremely terrifying place. In this way, Shaoyu couldn't help frowning, "If you want to go to the back mountain, how to go?"

"Young man, don't mess around, I tell you, if you really enter the back mountain, you won't be able to get out, you must be cautious and cautious, and carefully consider the importance of this. ”

"I'm just asking. Shao Yu looked at the slave and smiled, while also quietly clenching his fists.

It can be seen that there has been no one in the back mountain for a long time. Because all those who enter the back mountains are chosen from among the slaves among them. As for the whereabouts of those slaves, no one knows.

It's just that at a certain time every month, there will be a special car to pull out a cart full of things from the back mountain.

As for what this thing is, many people are a little unclear.

"Hey, you're lazy here, aren't you?" Shao Yu was about to speak, when a low-level mercenary guard behind him raised the stick in his hand and smashed it towards Shao Yu.

This made Shaoyu very unhappy, "I'm not lazy, it's just that I'm tired from work and can I rest for a while?"

"You slaves, you don't have the right to rest at all, as long as you can't die, you must work for me!" said the low-level mercenary guard, smashing his stick on Shao Yu's back while reprimanding Shao Yu.

This sentence is quite harsh, as if a sharp sword has entered the ears of a bear.

"I'm not a slave!" Shao Yu looked at the low-level mercenary guard in front of him, a little excited, and felt as if there was a flame in his body that was restless and about to boil.

However, as soon as Shao Yu's words came out, he was directly smashed by the low-level mercenary guard, "You'd better figure it out for me, this is my territory, I said you are a slave, you are a slave!"

Although Shao Yu was very unhappy and didn't want to accept it, he could only give up when he looked at the fierce appearance of the prefecture-level mercenary guard in front of him. After all, if Shao Yu kept resisting like this, I was afraid that he would be smashed all over his body.

"You listen to me, from now on, you are a slave, and until you die, you are a slave!" The hired guard pinched his waist with one hand and held a stick in the other, and shouted at Shao Yu, "As a slave, you just need to work hard!"

Shao Yu doesn't think of himself as a slave, although he didn't refute it again, but Shao Yu still retains his true nature in his heart.

While working, Shaoyu has also been paying attention to the plants around him. According to the old man, this plant can be used to satisfy hunger, so Shaoyu has been looking for this plant in his work. As soon as he found out, Shao Yu immediately secretly cut off this plant and hid it in his sleeve.

Half a month later, Shao Yu saved more plants than the old man. When Shao Yu handed this plant to the old man, the old man was directly stunned, looked at Shao Yu with a shocked expression and said, "How can you have so many such plants?"

"Didn't you tell me that this kind of thing can be used to satisfy hunger?" Shao Yu smiled, "So when it's okay, I have been secretly collecting this kind of plant, and then putting them all in my pocket, and I have been saving it for half a month before I give it to you." ”

"You shouldn't give it to me, this kind of thing, just take it and eat it yourself. The old man shook his head again and said, "Last time I gave it to you, you didn't ask for it, you have eaten enough, if you don't make up for it, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on." ”

This time, the old man said he didn't ask for anything. It can be seen that the old man is still a person who knows more about Entubao, at least he also understands the sophistication of human feelings.

"Okay, then I'll keep it for myself this time, but you should take care of yourself, old man. Shao Yu smiled and left, taking the plants with him.

When Shao Yu swallowed this plant, he immediately felt a feeling of heat all over his body. But Shaoyu didn't think much about it, because his empty stomach didn't have that feeling of hunger after eating this plant.

"Thank you, old man. Shao Yu raised the corners of his mouth at the old man and smiled.

"Do you think this thing is delicious?" The old man did not leave immediately, but looked at Shao Yu and observed it carefully, as if he had seen Shao Yu for the first time.

Listening to the old man's words, Shao Yu scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, old man, I didn't taste the taste of this thing carefully just now, and swallowed it in a few bites." ”

It takes capital to chew slowly, like the slaves trapped in the mountains, who simply don't have enough time to chew slowly, so they can only eat quickly to avoid the penalty of overtime.

For those who eat slowly, the guards usually punish them with whipping.
