Chapter 250: Change of
Sky At this moment, Hongshi and the others suddenly understood this guy Heimu a little bit, why he looked so happy after his camp was taken over.
But after thinking about it carefully, this discovery made them feel strongly heartbroken.
Their lives in the past were even worse than those of the slaves here?
"Okay, stop licking the plates. Put them in the basket. Follow me. I'll take you to where you sleep."
These hard laborers certainly didn't sleep in mud houses, but in a shed next to the mine.
However, the villagers gave them some straw so that they could use it as both a bed and a quilt.
When I go to bed at night, I lie down in the straw pile and it’s really warm.
As the night deepened, Hei Mu, who was tired after a long day, fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
Hongshi was of course also very tired, but his mind was full of things, so he couldn't sleep well for a while.
Turning around and looking at Hei Mu who was sleeping soundly next to him, he slapped him to wake him up.
"F-What are you doing?!"
Hei Mu, who was awakened by a slap, was obviously startled.
Looking around, I saw that everyone else in the greenhouse had already fallen into a deep sleep. At this moment, there were snoring sounds in the greenhouse, and no one noticed the movement here.
After a circle, Kuroki's eyes fell on Hongshi's face.
"You look like you're going to take a shit? Go outside and come back after you're done."
“…”
Hei Mu's words really made him not know how to respond.
In the end, Hongshi simply ignored the other party's words and cast out his doubts on his own.
"You work so diligently just for these two meals?"
When Hongshi said this, the delicious dinner before unconsciously emerged in his mind, which made his tone sound a little bit hollow, and the whole sentence did not sound as confident as at the beginning.
Hearing this question, Kuroki couldn't help but roll his eyes and replied in a daze.
“Not entirely.”
"What's that for?"
Looking at Hongshi's endless questions, Heimu, whose sleepiness had faded a little, simply rubbed his cheeks to cheer himself up and planned to explain the matter to Hongshi.
"We are captured prisoners. You should be aware of this, right?"
Redstone nodded.
"The prisoners have to do hard labor here. Anyway, they have to do all kinds of dirty and tiring work. According to the rules here, they have to work hard for at least three years before they can get rid of their hard labor. As long as I get rid of my hard labor, I can officially join this tribe."
"Is it possible?"
Hongshi was a little surprised. He originally thought that this slave status would follow him until the day he died.
Who would have thought that I could actually get away with it.
He suddenly became energetic.
"What did you mean by three years?"
"That's what they say here. Anyway, here there are three hundred, oh yes, three hundred and sixty-five days in a year. If it's three years..."
Having said that, Hei Mu was silent for about ten seconds, and finally looked at Hong Shi with an annoyed look.
"How many days are there in three years? Just figure it out yourself."
“…”
This is obviously not something that Redstone can understand.
"In short, it will take many, many days. This is too long."
Although they had no concept of the time unit "year", they were clear about "day".
"Yes, that's why I have to work hard. Working hard can reduce my sentence, that is, reduce those three years. At the end of the month, if I can win the hard work award, I can reduce even more. By then, in less than three years, I can officially join this tribe."
Speaking of this, Kuroki couldn't help but feel longing.
"Here, slaves can have such a life. After I officially join, life will only be better!"
“…”
After listening to these words, Hongshi fell silent.
To be honest, he found that he had no idea what these better days would be like.
However, in the next two days, Hongshi was obviously more serious in his work.
He has a talent for 'brute force' and is quite strong. After finishing his meal, he worked seriously and his work efficiency surpassed Heimu's in an instant.
This has added to the pressure on Kuroki recently.
"Hongshi, you looked so uninterested before, but now you want to compete with me for the hard work award at the end of the month?"
In response to Hei Mu's words, Hong Shi, who was carrying a full basket of stones on his back, glanced at him and said nothing. Or he didn't know what to say and continued to work.
After all, he did mean that.
Who would want to be a slave if they could become regular employees? Seeing this, Hei Mu quickly gritted his teeth and worked hard.
After a period of time, Hongshi has undoubtedly adapted to the days of hard labor in the mine.
He found that life like this, where he had food to eat when he woke up, went to work after eating, and didn't have to worry about anything else, was really nice.
It was the same this day. After breakfast, Hongshi put away the plates, picked up his backpack and prepared to go to work.
Seeing this, Hei Mu quickly finished his breakfast and chased after him with the backpack in his hand.
Their mine was built in the Gobi area outside the village, next to the only road from Huangshan Village to Yanhu Village.
Just then, an ox cart full of prisoners drove over from a distance and attracted their attention.
They were originally escorted here to do hard labor in this ox cart.
But what was different from usual was that this time there was a pole standing on the ox cart, which looked quite strange.
Hongshi and Heimu subconsciously looked up along the pole.
The next second, with their pupils shrinking violently, they soon discovered that there was a head stuck on the pole! "That head, it looks like it belongs to Manshi."
It was a short sentence, but it was extremely difficult for Hei Mu to say it. Not only did he stutter, but his voice also trembled uncontrollably.
At the same time, Hongshi, who was standing next to him, nodded with a difficult expression, his eyes full of disbelief.
During this period of time, they had actually vaguely realized that this tribe was probably very strong, stronger than they had expected.
But the power of Manshi is deeply rooted in them.
Even though they guessed that this tribe was very strong, it was hard for them to imagine that they could defeat the Barbarian Stone Tribe, let alone kill the Barbarian Stones and impale their heads on poles.
During this time, the escort who was driving the car undoubtedly noticed them. After seeing them, he shouted loudly...
"The enemy leader Manshi is dead! We have won a great victory!!"
This shout was like an invisible hammer, hitting Red Stone and Black Wood hard in the heart.
The two of them realized that the situation in this mountain was about to change! !
Update is here, thanks to book friend '永恒星辰-Da' for the reward.
