Chapter 479 You are like an old friend of mine
Lin Xinhuan looked at the group of people who were registered under her name and labeled as slaves. They had big heads and small bodies, and were mostly young and strong men. There were only two old people and a child. They seemed to be hanging on to their last breath. They all looked at her timidly, hunched over, and exuded the aura of death.
Her eyes were sore from the wind and sand. Lin Xinhuan was afraid of disturbing them, so she asked softly, "Do you want to leave?"
As long as the slaves get the consent of the planet master, they can regain their freedom.
They all knelt down immediately: "Please, Lord of the Planet, spare our lives. We are strong and can do anything. We eat little, and we can be rewarded with a bottle of nutrient solution every day. It will be enough for us to share. Please, please."
Some people couldn't hold on any longer and simply lay on the ground. They were not very happy about the news that they were set free. They thought Lin Xinhuan was testing their loyalty and were afraid that they would say something wrong and lose their chance of survival.
Slaves have no human rights at all. After the management robots come, they ask them whether to leave or stay. If they choose to leave, they are still free wandering aliens. If they continue to stay, they will be given the lowest status of slaves.
They knew they had another chance to choose before the planet master came, but where could they go? After the migration, the last of their star coins were spent, and they no longer had the funds to leave on a merchant ship.
Seeing that they understood what she meant, Lin Xinhuan guessed that they had no money to leave, so she waved her hand and explained, "I hired you to work for me. As long as you earn enough money, tell me and I will let you go."
Later, they understood Lin Xinhuan's nature and dared to speak to her. The question buried in their hearts was finally asked: "Why are you willing to help us, a group of useless people?"
She saw something through the group of people with happy faces, and couldn't help smiling: "You look like an old friend of mine." She really hoped that someone could give him a hand when Country Z was in the most difficult time.
But now the wandering aliens looked at each other in bewilderment. No one believed the truth of what Lin Xinhuan said. How could any capitalist be willing to let go of free labor?
"You must be hungry. Eat something first."
Five large boxes suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the open ground, and everyone's eyes lit up. Great! It was nutrient solution, and we were saved!
As the lids were opened one by one, my expression was indescribable. What were those white things that looked like snowflakes? And were those red things the size of a fist edible?
Lin Xinhuan slapped her head. She was used to getting along with students and forgot that the people from the star had never seen food. She pointed at the "white snowflakes" and said, "This is steamed bread. It is made from a plant that is ground into powder and then edible. There is also ham sausage, which is made of pork. Putting a piece in the middle of the steamed bread will make it taste better."
Considering the large number of homeless people, she cannot feed more than a hundred people by herself. If she leaves it alone, wouldn't she be watching lives being wasted?
Let Blue Star prepare more quick meals. They are busy with infrastructure construction at this time, so there is no need to prepare anything specially. Just send some of their rations over.
When Lin Xinhuan saw the steamed buns, she reminded herself to speed up the planting process so that a group of people who depended on food for their daily life would give up the taste. She guessed that the situation must not be much better now. Her parents still said that they were living a good life. They prepared two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup for her every day, fearing that she would have a hard life in the interstellar space.
"!!!" The wandering aliens were so nervous that they were shaking. How could they eat a pig's carcass? It was no different from eating a raw pig! They wanted to find an excuse to thank Lin Xinhuan for her kindness, suspecting that she was playing a trick on them.
"Gurgle, gurgle~" The stomach rumbles loudly, each one louder than the last. Many people press their stomachs, trying to cover up the sound, while brainwashing themselves: I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry at all, what is hunger?
"Xiaobao!" The woman's scream drew their attention back. They saw a small black hand as thin as a mouse's arm reaching out to the steamed bun, forming a sharp contrast with the white color.
As soon as he got the bun, he stuffed it into his mouth desperately. The bun was as big as his head, and he did it so fast that the woman had no time to stop him.
The woman was so anxious that tears rolled down her face. She squatted down and stared at the child. She was afraid to offend the new planet owner and dared not say a word.
Xiaobao's pupils were turned upwards, his face was struggling, his face was getting redder and redder, and he couldn't breathe. The woman could no longer control herself and wailed miserably. No one thought the child could survive, and while they were mourning, they saw their own miserable future.
"Let go."
The crazy woman had no intention of listening and held the child tightly, fearing that the woman would snatch the child away.
But Lin Xinhuan pushed the child aside and slapped him on the back, as if she wanted to kill him. At least he died without pain.
"Cough cough cough." A white hard object ejected from Xiaobao's mouth. Lin Xinhuan slowly stroked the child's back from top to bottom, gently soothing him.
She took out a bottle of liquid and asked him to drink it slowly: "You just choked. Drink some water to calm down first. Don't eat in such a hurry."
"Sister, I don't want to drink anymore. My stomach is full of water. Listen." Xiaobao felt the other party's kindness and forgot what his mother said. He shook his belly, wanting her to listen to the sound of the water hitting his stomach.
Lin Xinhuan thought of the scene she saw on the screen. The Lingshan planet was desolate, with no plants or animals. In order to fill their stomachs, they could only drink the muddy water in the small pits.
I think the child had drunk a lot of water before and was very hungry. He didn't care about being afraid and just wanted to stuff it into his mouth when he heard that it was edible.
"Master, please let Xiaobao go. He is still a child who knows nothing. I can do the work of two people. Xiaobao is not a burden. He can also do the work."
The wolf woman got up from the ground and knelt aside. She wanted to get closer to the child but didn't dare to. She had just misunderstood that the planet master wanted to harm the child. Seeing Xiaobao's carefree childish words, she was afraid of offending the planet master, and the life of mother and child would be even more difficult in the future.
She was also scared. She almost choked the child to death just now. Lin Xinhuan's action of saving the child made everyone let down their guard a little. It seemed that the owner of the planet was not bad?
"Yeah." Lin Xinhuan agreed coldly. She would not say anything like the child was too young and would not let the child work. They would not believe it even if she said it, so why waste her breath.
The demonstration took a steamed bun, opened a slit in the middle, divided it into three-quarters of the bun, showed the knife, and felt the atmosphere solidify instantly. Everyone's muscles were tense, and the children were a little afraid to back away.
Without changing the appearance, he used a knife to cut open the packaging of the ham cubes and cut the ham into slices of equal thickness. He took out three or four slices, added them to the steamed bun, put them into his mouth in front of everyone, and shook them around his mouth, obviously chewing them.
One, two, three times... It was the peaceful aura surrounding Lin Xinhuan that made everyone unconsciously let down their guard and ignore the sharp knife in her hand.
It seems that the steamed bun tastes pretty good? As Lin Xinhuan swallowed, everyone followed suit.
