Chapter 249 Fate

The last time they met, they were both leaders.

This time they met, both of them became prisoners.

It's fate! As the original leader of the Blackwood tribe, Blackwood still has some brains.

What does it mean that the Red Stone tribe has followed the same fate as the Black Wood tribe, and even the leader has become a prisoner?

Thinking back to when the other party asked him about the intelligence of the Manshi Tribe, he just thought that the other party was crazy and was seeking his own death.

But after being captured here and working for a period of time, Kuroki's thoughts gradually began to change.

Now seeing that Hongshi was also captured as a prisoner, the thought in Hei Mu's mind became even stronger.

[Could it be that the world is really going to change? ]

He shook his head to get rid of all these thoughts, and Kuroki's gaze fell on the red stone in front of him again.

At this moment, both sides looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Okay, come with me, I'll tell you about the job."

"Work?"

“That’s what you’re going to do next.”

Listening to the prisoners' mutterings, Hei Mu explained that although he had not been working in this mine for long, he had already mastered the meaning of some new words.

Following Kuroki's steps, the group quickly entered the mine.

At this moment, inside the mine, a large number of workers are working, and the whole scene can be said to be extremely busy.

Hei Mu led everyone to a pile of rocks.

"Your next job is to put all these stones into the backpack, then carry it outside and put it down. It's that simple."

This thing is simple, but it is a real physical job.

The backpack was quite large, and when it was full, the amount was enough to change people's expressions. They had basically not eaten anything until now, and after several trips, even Hongshi was already dizzy from exhaustion. They all squatted outside, not wanting to move anymore.

Seeing this, Hei Mu hurried over and pulled people to a shed nearby, then took the initiative to scoop some water and handed it to Hong Shi and the others.

After taking the bowl of water, Hongshi, whose throat was already smoking with thirst, tilted his head back and drank it all up.

"Do you want more?"

Hearing this, Hongshi looked at Hei Mu, then handed the bowl of water to him again. Hei Mu turned around and scooped him another bowl.

Although there are no fresh water resources in Salt Lake Village, the neighboring Black Moon Village does have some.

After the ox carts were installed, fresh water was transported here in large tanks, so there was no shortage of fresh water here, and it was basically provided for the workers and prisoners to drink.

After drinking three bowls of water, Hongshi's bloated stomach made him less hungry and also gave him more energy.

Seeing this, Kuroki spoke again.

"Are you done? If you are, go back to work."

Hearing what Hei Mu said, Hong Shi was speechless, but at the same time he couldn't help but say something.

"You are diligent!"

Don't forget, they are all captives now. Their tribe was just destroyed by the enemy, but now they are working so diligently for them. They really don't have such a high level of ideological awareness. At the same time, Hongshi himself is a little confused.

Hei Mu himself had also been through that stage, so how could he not see what Hong Shi and the others were thinking now?

So he immediately said...

"Work hard and you'll have dinner in the evening."

As soon as Hei Mu said this, many people's expressions changed and they immediately expressed doubt.

"Can we still get food?"

Hearing this, Kuroki smiled mysteriously.

"You can get quite a bit, and I guarantee you've never tasted anything this good!"

"Is this true? Are you lying to us?"

In this era, apart from a few exceptions like Manshi, including Hongshi and his group, aren't they living just for a bite to eat? According to their thinking, what is their current status? Slaves!

Slaves are consumables, so how could the other side share precious food with slaves? Following this line of thought, they naturally did not want to work hard for the enemy who had just destroyed their tribe.

However, at this time, Kuroki was clearly telling them that they were wrong.

However, since this matter is really beyond their common sense and even sounds a bit bizarre, many people are a little bit skeptical.

Faced with this situation, Kuroki looked at them speechlessly.

"What good would it do for me to lie to you? Besides, dinner will be here soon, do I really need to lie like this?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It has to be said that Hei Mu's words gave them some thoughts.

The prisoners, who were originally about to start giving up, silently put on their backpacks again and walked towards the mine.

With this thought in mind, they managed to hold on until mealtime.

The site manager came to inspect their work results and nodded with satisfaction after looking at them.

"The first day was pretty good, Kuroki, take them to dinner, and I'll leave the rest of the settling-in work to you."

"Okay, Director! Just leave it to me. I promise to settle them down!"

After watching the director leave, Kuroki quickly waved his hand.

"Let's go eat!"

The attentiveness that Kuroki had shown to the manager before made Hongshi and the others feel a little uncomfortable.

But when it comes to eating, they are no longer sleepy. Even those who were so tired that they felt they were about to die, at this moment, perked up and followed Hei Mu closely, walking towards the cafeteria.

The food and accommodation conditions for hard laborers and regular miners are definitely different.

The reason why hard labor is hard labor is that their treatment can be very low and they do not need to be paid wages. They are the cheapest labor force.

The mine workers’ canteen is in the village, they sleep in dormitories at night, and they receive a salary every month.

On the other hand, the canteen for the convicts was right outside the mine. The big shed next to the drinking water was where their meals were stored. The food was also very simple and was mainly enough to satisfy their hunger.

But even so, according to the cooking method Zhou Xu taught them, supplemented with salt for seasoning, the taste is enough to make these primitive people obsessed with it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the reason these prisoners work so diligently and honestly here is just for this bite of food.

Before they knew it, the plates in their hands had been licked clean by them. Then, the expressions on their faces became a bit dazed and confused, and then a bit intoxicated, as if they were still savoring the taste of dinner, and even Hongshi was no exception.

"Hey! Hey! Come back to your senses, come back to your senses!"

Seeing this, Hei Mu didn't hesitate to wake them up one by one, and then said proudly...

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? I tell you, meals like this are served twice a day here! One in the morning and one in the evening!"

“…”

At this moment, Hongshi and the others were so shocked that they were speechless.

It was incredible that slaves could eat such food. Two meals a day? This was just like a dream! So their lives before were not as good as those of the slaves here?! (End of this chapter)
