Chapter 99
Now that Nian has returned, the calculations in the minds of some slaves in the cave who thought she had escaped have come to nothing.
However, Uncle Song and Tieniu were really relieved, and soon they heard the sound of sleeping. However, Nian did not fall asleep immediately. She repeatedly confirmed that the golden tickets in her pocket were safe, and then she turned her head to the sky, closed her eyes and meditated.
stand up.
Thinking that she had been in this world for such a long time and was still living her life step by step, this made her calm heart start to waver again.
Afterwards, she thought about it a lot and decided to find a way to leave the deserted city and get rid of her slave status as soon as possible. Otherwise, procrastinating like this would only waste more time.
It's daytime, at noon.
As soon as Nian and others came out of the queue to get food, they discovered that a new group of slaves had arrived in the deserted market.
The size of this group of slaves was much larger than before, with approximately several thousand people. At first glance, the crowd was densely packed into one large mass, like dark clouds descending on a rainy day.
Nian followed Uncle Song and Tieniu and glanced at the new slaves from a distance.
She soon discovered that the spirit of this group of people was completely different from their original team of hundreds of people.
Moreover, all the slaves in this team, men, women, old and young, looked well-fed. It was completely different from their time when most of them were thin and malnourished.
The arrival of these people also made Nian more eager to leave here.
Because as the number of slaves coming to the deserted city increases, people who come here to buy slaves will also come one after another. During this time, their slave team of several hundred people had plenty of food, and their complexions changed.
Much better.
What Nian is worried about is that if someone close to her is bought away, things will become more troublesome. Whether it is Uncle Song, Tieniu, or Aunt Wang and others. Any one of these people, she
They don't want them to be bought away.
Because once they are taken away, they will never see each other again in their lifetime.
This is not an alarmist statement on her part, but the experience of Uncle Song and other people who have experienced it.
Uncle Song's father was taken away when he was young. Later, he witnessed his father sneaking back to see him and his mother. The buyer had someone whip him with a whip and then recaptured him. Soon after, his mother also
Bought by another family.
Since then, he has never seen his parents again.
…
After the meal, Nian used needle and thread to sew a pocket on the inside of his clothes. The fabric was a piece torn from the old clothes he wore before coming to Huangshi, and he used wooden needles and twine for sewing.
The clothes she is wearing now are distributed by the managers of the deserted city, and the needles and threads are also provided by them.
However, she did not throw away her original old clothes, but put them on under this new one. When she visited Arakani City last night, she found a place to change her clothes inside and out. That night
After coming back, I changed it again.
Who would have thought that things in this world are often about what people are afraid of and what they will come to.
As Nian was sewing the inner pocket of her clothes in the corner, she heard a whistle blowing. After a while, Tieniu came in and called her to gather outside.
It was already afternoon. In the large yard of Huangshi, there were several managers of Huangshi standing in the front row, while a group of strange-looking and luxuriously dressed gentlemen stood behind them.
When Nian came out of the cave, he glanced over there and guessed that the slave buyer was here.
As expected, she immediately heard the manager of the deserted city shouting to the many slaves, telling the identities of these gentlemen one by one. Most of them were housekeepers from such and such a house in a certain city.
There is no need to say the purpose of their coming here.
Representatives sent by several managers explained the number and requirements of slaves needed by these people.
"Next, whoever among you thinks you meet the requirements can stand in the open space on the left side of the team. As for those who are unwilling to stand up, don't take any chances. Our deserted city will not support you in vain.
If the last few batches cannot leave, we will continue to move you to other places to work as coolies, or sell you to other cities. You must think carefully..."
This man is worthy of being a representative among managers. In just a few words, he has the effect of inciting people's hearts. When all the qualified slaves in the field heard this, they were all ready to take action.
