According to the inherent logic, perhaps Nian's mother wanted her daughter to be wary, but she was worried that she would live in hatred at such a young age, so she reminded her to forget about it in the future.

But in this case, one thing cannot be explained.

Their family of three are just ordinary slaves. Why are they being targeted by the guards and outsiders? Unless... Nian's parents have problems with their origins...

But given her current situation, even if she could come up with an answer, it would be a waste of effort and she couldn't take any rescue measures. She could only try to be more vigilant to the officers in the future and not make the same mistake again.

Other than that, all she can do now is to live well, and then work hard to lay a solid foundation and hone her skills, hoping to have enough power to protect herself in the future.

In the next six months, I would practice the basics diligently every day and night, but I would control my time reasonably and leave enough time to rest.

During this period, Tieniu also discovered that Nian secretly practiced various weird moves every night. He even judged that Nian was practicing martial arts. After being discovered, Nian told the truth and admitted the matter.

After that, Tieniu proposed that he also wanted to learn from her.

Even when Nian told him that he only learned these moves from dreams, Tieniu didn't think she was joking, but seriously expressed that he wanted to practice martial arts with Nian.

In fact, if Nian hadn't stopped him, Tieniu would have planned to kowtow and become his disciple.

Of course she finally agreed to let Tieniu learn with her, but there was no need for apprenticeship. However, Tieniu not only knew about martial arts training, but also knew that he should practice martial arts as early as possible, and his starting age was obviously late.

.

But from the perspective of the year, these are all minor issues.

In other mission worlds she has been to, some of them started practicing martial arts late, but they were better at practicing martial arts than those who started early.

To put it bluntly, as long as you are determined, it is never too late.

She also once saw a sentence in a mission world, which is said to be said by an economist named Dambisa Moyo in her book "Death of Aid": Planting a tree is the most important thing.

The best time was ten years ago, the second best time is now.

This sentence is extended to this point, and it is exactly applicable to Tieniu at this moment.

Although he missed the best time to exercise his muscles and bones, it is not too late to start from now.

After that, several days passed before their team transporting slaves arrived at their destination. It was a large open space with many dense earth caves scattered around it.

This entire area is surrounded by walls made of earth and stone. There are people guarding the door and patrolling the outside. They are all armed.

The weapons of these people are not uniform, just like the tools used by the farmer uncles I saw in other worlds when they were farming.

Nian, Tieniu and a group of hundreds of slaves were all placed in the empty caves.

During the day, they will be released together to exercise in the open space outside, and then food will be distributed to them.

The food here is much better than what was distributed in the cities we passed through in the past, and the portions are more abundant. At least after finishing a meal now, I won't be craving for another meal as quickly as before.

The guards escorting the slaves dropped them off and left immediately. This also made Nian, who had always been wary of the guards, completely relieved.

After that, within a few days, many strangers came here one after another.

Among them are some people who are dressed in luxurious clothes, but their nostrils are pointing towards the sky. The image of these people is very similar to the stewards of certain families that I saw in some worlds in the past year.

Of course, there are also many among them who are of higher quality, better cultivated, and appear to be kinder.

But whether it was the former or the latter, after they arrived, they did not stay long, nor did they buy a single slave, and then left quickly.

This made Nian doubt his earlier judgment. Aren't these people here to buy slaves?

If so, why did he come and leave? Are you not satisfied with them? Nian thought about it carefully, and it seems that this is the only explanation that makes sense.

This also made her heart, which had been silent for a long time, start to become active, and she considered whether she should choose a suitable time to go outside to take a look and see what the world was like.
