Chapter 250: The Sky Changes
At this moment, Hongshi and the others suddenly understood why Kuroki was so happy after being taken away from the camp.
But this discovery, after thinking about it for a while, gave them a strong sense of heartache.
In their past life, their life was worse than the slaves here?
"Okay, stop licking the dinner plates. Put the dinner plates together in the basket. Follow me and I will take you to the place to sleep."
This hard laborer definitely didn't sleep in a mud room, but in a greenhouse next to the mine.
But the village side gave them some straw for the time being so that they could be used as beds and quilts.
When you go to bed at night, stick yourself in that pile of straw. Not to mention, it’s really warm.
The night is getting darker, and Kuroki, who has been tired for a day, can basically fall asleep immediately as soon as he lies down.
Of course Hongshi is also very tired, but he is so full of things on his mind that he really can't sleep well right now.
Turning to look at Kuroki, who was sleeping soundly next to him, he slapped him awake.
"Gray, what are you doing?!"
Kuromu, who was slapped awake, was obviously shocked.
Looking around, everyone else in the greenhouse had already fallen asleep. Snorings were heard one after another in the greenhouse, and no one noticed the movement at all.
After circling around, Kuroki's eyes fell on Hongshi's face.
"You look like this, do you want to poop? Go outside to poop and come back after pooping yourself."
"..."
Kuromu's words really made him unaware. How to pick up.
In the end, Hongshi simply ignored the other party's words and threw out the doubts in his heart.
“You work so diligently just for these two meals?”
Hong Shi, who said this, unconsciously thought of the delicious dinner before, which made his whole tone a bit false. The whole sentence was not as confident as it was at the beginning. .
Hearing this question, Kuroki couldn't help rolling his eyes and replied in a daze.
“Not entirely.”
“What’s that for?”
Looking at Hong Shi who asked endless questions, his sleepiness faded a bit Kuroki simply rubbed his cheeks to cheer himself up, and planned to explain this matter to Hongshi.
"We are captured prisoners. You should know this, right?"
Hongshi nodded.
“Prisoners have to do hard labor here. Anyway, they have to do all kinds of dirty work. According to the rules here, they have to work hard for at least three years before they can get rid of the hard labor status. As long as I get rid of the hard labor status, I can officially join this tribe."
"Can this be done?"
Hongshi was a little surprised. He originally thought that this slave status was to follow. The day he died.
Who would have thought that he could get away with it.
He suddenly became energetic.
"What do you mean by three years just now?"
"This is what they say here. In short, there are three hundred, oh, yes, three hundred and sixty-five a year here. God, in three years..."
Having said this, Kuroki was silent for almost ten seconds, and finally looked at Hongshi with an annoyed look.
"You think about how many days there are in three years."
"..."
This is obviously not something Hongshi can think of clearly.
"In short, just many, many days is enough. This is too long." Although they have no concept of the time unit of 'year', they still know 'day'.
"Yes, that's why I have to work hard. Working hard can reduce the sentence, which means shortening the three years. At the end of the month, if I can win the hard work award, I can reduce it even more. By then, I won't be able to use it anymore. In three years, I can officially join this tribe.”
Speaking of this, Kuroki couldn’t help but yearn for it.
"Here, slaves can have such a life. After I officially join, life will only be better!"
"..."
Listen to these words Hongshi fell into silence.
Let’s be honest, what are these better days like? He found that he couldn't even imagine it.
However, in the next two days, Hongshi started working and became obviously more serious.
He himself has the talent of 'brute force', and his strength is not small. After eating, he started working seriously, and his work efficiency suddenly surpassed that of Kuroki.
This has doubled Kuroki’s pressure recently.
“Hongshi, you looked so indifferent before, and now you want to compete with me for the hard work award at the end of the month?”
Faced with Kuroki's words, Hongshi, who was walking out with a basket full of stones, glanced sideways at him and said nothing. In other words, he didn't know what to say and continued to work hard.
After all, he did mean it.
Who wants to be a slave if he can become a full-time employee?
Seeing this, Kuroki quickly gritted his teeth and started working hard.
After some time, Hongshi has undoubtedly adapted to the days of hard labor in the mine.
He found that it was really good to have food when he woke up, go to work after eating, and not have to worry about anything else.
The same was true on this day. After breakfast, Hongshi put away the dinner plate, picked up the backpack and got ready to work.
Seeing this, Kuroki quickly finished his breakfast and caught up with his backpack.
Their mine is built in the Gobi area outside the village, next to the only road from Huangshan Village to Salt Lake Village.
At this moment, an ox cart full of prisoners drove over in the distance, attracting their attention.
They were also transported here in this oxcart to do hard labor.
But what is different from usual is that this time there is a pole standing on the ox cart, which looks quite strange.
Hongshi and Heimu subconsciously looked up along the pole.
The next second, with the violent contraction of the pupils, they quickly discovered that there was actually a head stuck on the pole!
"That, that head. It seems, it seems to be made of wild stone."
In this short sentence, Kuroki spoke with great difficulty. Not only did he stutter, but his voice also trembled uncontrollably.
At the same time, Hong Shi, who was standing next to him, nodded with a difficult expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.
During these days, they had vaguely realized that this tribe might be very strong, much stronger than they expected.
But the power of wild stone is deeply rooted in them.
Even if they guessed that this tribe was very strong, it was difficult for them to imagine that the other party could defeat the Manshi tribe, let alone kill the Manshi tribe and stick the opponent's head on a pole.
During this period, the escort responsible for driving undoubtedly noticed them. After seeing them, the escort directly shouted...
"The enemy leader Manshi is dead! I Fang Dasheng! ”
This shout was like an invisible hammer hitting Hongshi and Heimu’s hearts.
The two of them realized that this mountain was about to change! !
