Chapter 20 It's good to be clean



A large group of people with shackles, tattered clothes, dirty bodies and smelling bad were driven to Zhang Feng by the slave traders.

Several soldiers stepped forward to prevent Zhang Feng from being hit by these slaves.

"Lord City Lord, our seven slave traders have a total of 121 slaves here. Please check them."

The smell on these people is like a can of canned herring cooked with Wangzhihe stinky tofu, durian and original pig intestines. It is so smelly that there is no dead corner.

They all avoided eye contact and didn't even dare to look up. The slaves had just heard that they were sold to a distinguished noble master and didn't know what fate would await them next.

The minds of these slaves are actually very simple. As long as they can avoid starving to death, they are willing to do anything.

Zhang Feng covered his nose and was very disgusted with these sources of poison gas, but he still pushed away the soldiers, walked up to these slaves, and looked at them carefully.

Zhang Feng glanced at her and suddenly thought of a question.

Even though male slaves were a little thin, they had the natural advantage of physical strength. As long as they were not starved to death, they could do farm work or even fight in wars. However, the situation was much different for female slaves.

In this world of low productivity, physical strength is very important. Women have a relatively low status due to their physical fitness and other reasons, and the same is true for female slaves.

Caroline was confused. She didn't know why Zhang Feng asked such a personal question. Her cheeks flushed and she didn't know how to answer. Her mind began to wander involuntarily.

"yes."

Zhang Feng felt helpless and thought that this girl had a wild imagination. However, what he didn't know was that in times of famine, it was not uncommon for people to eat each other due to extreme hunger.

"How often do you shower?"

Originally, there were many more male slaves than female slaves in the hands of these slave traders. However, by the time they arrived at Hongye City, the male slaves with better physical fitness had basically been sold out.

Marlowe replied somewhat awkwardly.

Accompanied by Knight Marlowe and Caroline, he spent the whole morning taking a simple tour of Hongye City and had a rough idea of ​​what to do. However, what surprised Zhang Feng was that there was an empty church not far from the castle.

Zhang Feng’s inspection was very simple. As long as all the parts on the body were complete, it didn’t matter whether the person was a man or a woman.

Is it because I smell? But I just took a bath yesterday, so it shouldn't smell bad. Are the adults disgusted with me? Should I take a bath again today? But if I take a bath too frequently, will I get sick?

Now all that's left are some skinny men and most of the women.

In Zhang Feng's plan, it is not difficult to help Hongye City overcome the difficulties, but his goal is not just as simple as overcoming the difficulties. After all, as a middleman between the two worlds, he has to have some lofty pursuits, such as building a truly prosperous Hongye City.

Well, this reason is very strong, but it also shows that not all cities in other worlds are as poor as Hongye City. At least those church members have better choices.

At noon, Zhang Feng returned to his residence. More than a hundred slaves were divided into two groups and stayed in the yard, being guarded by several people.

These slaves were too dirty to tell their exact ages, but most of them were quite young. After all, older slaves could not last long in Hongye City.

"Knight Marlowe, have them brought to the yard downstairs, separate the men and women, and prepare a few more cauldrons and barrels."

Therefore, people stay away from water, especially for bathing, which may not happen once a year. After all, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little dirty or smelly, but once you get sick, you may most likely die.

Caroline was startled by Zhang Feng and spoke quickly.

Caroline didn't know what disinfection meant, but she understood what taking a bath meant, which made her feel relieved. However, she felt a little ashamed because she had misunderstood Zhang Feng.

"Men go to the room on the left, and women go to the room on the right. There is a bucket inside. Draw water yourself. Everyone must wash for me. I will prepare some clean clothes. If anyone smells bad later, they will be thrown out to feed the fish!"

"Add more wood and boil more water!"

Zhang Feng discovered that he had been in close contact with Caroline for the whole morning, but he did not smell any unpleasant odors on her. Instead, there was a faint fragrance, so he asked in a low voice.

For Zhang Feng, people are the first element of productivity, and only with productivity can construction be carried out!

Zhang Feng threw out a bunch of keys, and Ma Luo took it respectfully, but his eyes looked a little strange, as if he didn't understand what Zhang Feng was going to do.

Seeing Zhang Feng setting up the pot and boiling water, it was inevitable that Caroline misunderstood.

"Well, being clean is good, it's good..."

Most people believe that the root cause of these diseases cannot be found. It is because water causes the skin pores to expand, allowing bacteria to enter the body, reducing the body's immunity and thus causing the disease.

Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long.

"What are you thinking? I just let them take a bath and disinfect."

"Well, because Hongye City is too poor, those missionaries gave up Hongye City several years ago..."

"Sir, although we are short of food right now, we don't have to do this..."

After saying that, Caroline quickly lowered her head and stared at her toes.

Several huge iron pots were placed on one side, which really frightened the slaves. After all, anyone who saw such a scene would think of something bad.

When Zhang Feng thought she would not answer, a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum sounded in his ears.

There are both men and women, but there are many more women than men.

Seeing Caroline's reaction, Zhang Feng realized that something was wrong. After all, she was a girl, and the question was indeed a bit embarrassing, so he quickly explained.

"Ahem, I'm just simply curious, you don't have to answer."

"Why is there no one in the church?"

"I, I just took a shower yesterday, I don't smell..."

Due to the relatively low level of medical care in this world, some serious diseases are difficult to cure, especially large-scale infectious diseases that are hidden. Once infected, it is basically a death sentence.

Zhang Feng was a little confused.

Zhang Feng gave the order and the soldiers acted quickly.

"Sir, the water is almost boiling."

Caroline's eyes wandered and she didn't dare to look directly into Zhang Feng's eyes.

Moreover, looking at these dirty and smelly female slaves, Zhang Feng admired anyone who could have any ideas about them as a man.

Zhang Feng tried it and found it was about 30 degrees, which was just the right temperature for bathing.

As for whether anyone has any unspeakable thoughts about these female slaves, the answer is yes, but they are very rare. After all, you have money to buy slaves, and it is impossible for you to be short of women around you. Wouldn't it be better to buy a few more strong male slaves to farm?

Although he bought more than a hundred slaves, Zhang Feng did not interrupt his steps.

"It's OK, nothing is missing."

Zhang Feng was also a little embarrassed. He secretly glanced at the shy Caroline, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Zhang Feng said in a somewhat stern tone.

After hearing Zhang Feng's words, the slaves knew they would not become food and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As for taking a bath or something, they didn't care whether it would lower their immunity or not. As long as they were able to survive, it was enough.

The slaves hurried into the room, fetching buckets of water.

"By the way, give this to them."

Zhang Feng flipped his palm, and two red and two yellow objects emitting a faint strange smell appeared in front of Marlowe and Caroline.
