Chapter 368 The Terrifying Castle Owner (28)
Chen Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and his expression was not good.
Anyone who found out about this probably wouldn't be able to laugh.
No wonder....
No wonder the housekeeper was so sure that they would not survive. There were millions of dead bodies here, which meant there were millions of ghosts.
What kind of grand spectacle will there be once it gets dark?
Shen Yuan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Alright, I caught you slacking off, you bastard slave, forget about eating lunch today!"
Suddenly, a rough male voice came from not far away, a bit harsh.
Shen Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw four or five workers gathered together, chattering and seemingly arguing about something.
She decisively threw away her chopsticks and walked over to eat the melon.
"Zhang Mao, stop wasting time talking to this dog slave. How can someone who dared to kill his own father be a good person? Take him directly to the foreman and let him deal with him."
"Yes, with the methods used by the foreman, this slave boy will be skinned alive today."
"Yes! Send it to the foreman for processing!"
A group of people gathered here, making a lot of noise and spitting.
Chen Yuan looked at the dirty young man lying on the ground. His half-long black hair was wet and covered most of his face, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
The first impression was that he was thin, terribly thin.
The boy should be about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was tall but without any flesh on his body. His arms and thighs looked like a living mantis, without any beauty at all.
He was naked, lying on the ground, half curled up, his face as pale as paper, and his dry lips had been bitten until they bled.
“It hurts…it hurts…”
The young man uttered two hoarse murmurs from his throat, like the whisper of a mosquito, and no one paid any attention.
The man named Zhang Mao smiled even more wildly after hearing the boy's painful murmur.
"Listen, this slave dog dares to cry out in pain, hahahaha!"
He laughed as if he had heard a huge joke, holding his stomach and crying.
After laughing, Zhang Mao pinched his nose, bent down and stared at the young man on the ground, whose life or death was unknown.
"A demon who even dared to attack his own father, tell me, do you deserve to cry out in pain?"
The cold and vicious words were like needles piercing the boy's heart.
But he was already delirious from the fever, his head was swollen and painful, and he could not hear anything.
Old-fashioned plot and storyline.
Chen Yuan didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he took a step forward with his right leg and was about to leave. The next second, he saw something and froze in place.
Zhang Mao didn't get a reply from the boy, so he got angry and grabbed his hair and lifted him up.
A pale face appeared in Shen Yuan's eyes.
Why... does this look a bit like that bastard Fu Qi?
In order to confirm his guess, Shen Yuan walked closer and saw the embarrassed face more clearly.
Well, it was indeed him.
Five hundred years ago, Fu Qi was so weak that he could be bullied by anyone.
Could it be that she needs to write a piece of redemptive literature?
"Hey, 0723, what are you doing in our bone burial area?"
Zhang Mao narrowed his eyes unhappily, stared at Chen Yuan and sneered.
He had long disliked this woman. Relying on her looks, she not only seduced the foreman, but also was lazy and ate all day long. Now she even wanted to take care of the affairs of Fu Qi, the dog slave.
His tone was too bad, and Shen Yuan was not a good-tempered person, so he didn't indulge him and directly retorted.
"Did the foreman stipulate that workers who collect corpse worms cannot come to the bone burial area? If not, what are you making such a fuss here? Do you think you have a mouth?"
"You! You have such a sharp tongue! One day I'm going to cut off your tongue!"
Zhang Mao was so angry that his face turned red, and he was barely able to control himself after being persuaded by the people around him.
At that time, the people he sent out had already called the foreman over.
As soon as he saw Tan Qing, Zhang Mao immediately started to complain.
"Foreman, you're finally here. You don't know how diligently we all work, sweating profusely but never complaining. But this slave boy is not only lazy, but also arrogant. He's simply too arrogant! You must teach him a lesson!"
He knew that the foreman had some feelings for 0723 and wanted to sue her as well, but he held back the words when they came to his lips.
What if the foreman has been completely seduced by the woman 0723, then he will be the one who suffers.
Tan Qing didn't know what was going on and looked at Shen Yuan questioningly.
There were too many people here, and Chen Yuan didn't know what to say. He could only look at Tan Qing and motion him to look at Fu Qi on the ground.
Tan Qing had never seen Fu Qi's face. He just thought that Shen Yuan was a little girl who couldn't stand such a miserable situation and wanted to save him.
"Well, tell me exactly what happened."
Zhang Mao hurriedly said, "It's like this. I was burying a body just now, and when I glanced over, I saw this dog slave sleeping in a corner. I went over to tell him he was being lazy and it wouldn't be good if the foreman saw him. But guess what he said? He said you're a piece of shit, foreman, you begged him to work but he wouldn't do it! This is really outrageous, foreman, you have to teach him a lesson."
After Zhang Mao finished speaking excitedly, he looked up and saw that Tan Qing's face had turned completely black.
This time the foreman will definitely give the dog slave a good beating.
The next second, there was a loud slap, and Zhang Mao was slapped in the face.
Tan Qing took back his hand and said with disgust
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"No...I dare not..."
Zhang Mao covered his burning right cheek, angry but not daring to speak, his teeth almost broken, his eyes cold and resentful.
Where no one could see, Chen Yuan secretly gave Tan Qing a thumbs up.
I have to say, he is really handsome.
Tan Qing nodded, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"This dog slave must be sick with a fever. 0723, take him back to the dormitory and take good care of him. Don't let him die. The number of people sent in has been decreasing recently. Keep as many as you can."
"OK!"
Chen Yuan immediately helped the dying Fu Qi up and turned away.
"Foreman, this is so unfair. Not only are we not punished for being lazy, but we can even go back to the dormitory and rest. Who among us would still want to work then?"
Someone in the crowd deliberately shouted loudly, and the remaining workers immediately complained in dissatisfaction.
"That's right, foreman. We respect you, but you have to respect us too."
"Isn't it because of that bitch 0723? Don't think we don't know."
The law does not punish everyone. Similarly, even if the foreman is angry and wants to teach them a lesson, he cannot teach so many people a lesson.
Tan Qing sneered, turned his head to look at the noisy crowd, and his eyes revealed a biting cold light.
"How can someone who has committed a crime and even been deprived of his freedom talk to me about fairness? I remember one of the rules the executioner set beforehand was that no worker here, except for the foreman, could be lynched. So how did the dog slave get those wounds? Do I need to explain it further?"
"Tell me, if the executioner knew what you did, would that thing on your neck still be there?"
—ps—
Regarding the background setting of the story, the cemetery in Anhe Castle is a parallel world five hundred years ago, not ancient times, and is no different from the present world, so there are dormitories, workers, shovels and so on.
You can think of it as a special prison or slaughterhouse with its own set of rules.
