Under the sky

Chapter 255 His color is so pale

"How to deal with the liar outside?" Kaya asked impatiently.He stroked his head, his hangover still not gone: "I have a bad headache. That boy Nabu Badu made me upset."

Xie Yunjin waited for his fate to be pronounced.

"Become a slave. All captives must be slaves anyway." Dakko laughed loudly. "Let's brand them tonight to prevent them from starving to death. No, now, now!"

She ordered people to raise a blazing furnace, burn the iron red, and bring in all the prisoners.

"You should thank this liar." Kaya laughed, "He saved you from hunger for a few days."

Captives have no power and are not worth wasting food. Slaves also have no power, but slaves are property, and property must be protected to avoid loss.

The prisoners all lowered their heads and waited for misfortune to happen, including the refugees.They were unable to resist and did not dare to resist. Some even secretly rejoiced because they could still eat after becoming slaves.

Some of them had been hungry for days.

"It is a good thing for refugees to become slaves," said the man burning the iron.

Xie Yunjin was the first to be tortured. He was tied to a wooden frame, his hands were hung high, and he had to stand on tiptoes to prevent the slaves from struggling.

The scarlet iron was mercilessly stamped on Xie Yunyan's left shoulder, sending a burning sensation that hurt his heart, as well as the smell of burnt meat.

He found it so delicious that he wanted to bite his shoulder.

He is really hungry.

The severe pain caused him to pass out. A moment later, he was splashed with water and woke up. He was then taken away by two soldiers.He was dragged to the slave room and thrown into a corner. He was given a bag of water, two pieces of barley cake and two pieces of dried meat as big as a palm.

There is actually meat, and it’s such a big piece!Xie Yunjin perked up, picked up the dried meat and barley cakes and stuffed them into his mouth.

He was really, really hungry.

The slave mark is a chain of flames intertwined with each other. The flame representing the wisdom given by the Sa god is locked by the iron chain. From then on, the person can no longer have his own thoughts.The slave's owner would tattoo his name behind the slave's ear. After the slave changed hands, the new owner would cross out the old name and tattoo a new one underneath.Some unfortunate slaves have changed hands several times, and their masters' names are tattooed on their necks, but these are very few. If a slave has changed hands for more than three masters, it is usually considered to be a problematic slave, either too lazy, too stupid, or too difficult. Discipline is unlucky for the master, and evil slaves and vicious slaves are not worth much.

After the branding was over, Xie Yunjin was a complete slave, but he was still an ownerless slave, so he had no tattoos behind his ears.He couldn't even escape. Each tribe would check whether anyone coming to the village was a runaway slave. When he and Jin Fuzi entered Tuya's village, Walla Xiaoji asked to see their shoulders.

He was desperate. Even if he could escape, it was a thousand miles from here to Naibuba. He couldn't even find a tribe to stay. Even if he told others about his identity, who would believe that a slave was a priest?

Is there really no other way?He leaned in a corner of the slave camp and thought.How could he fall into this situation overnight?Has Hillidger been waiting for this opportunity?He always thought that Hilidegg would be grateful for his life-saving grace.

In fact, he once had the opportunity to be friends with Hillidegg. The misunderstanding might have been resolved unconsciously, but Xie Yunjin did not.He has never known Hillidegg, whether it is Gao Leqi or Tower.
K. Hillidegg, he was always cold and indifferent to anyone who showed kindness to him, and even he himself didn't find anything wrong with it.It may be that he doesn't know how to interact with people, or it may be that he only wants to be a flame and plans to leave the customs in two years, so he doesn't want to have too many friendships with others. It may also be that Jin Fuzi's past events make him afraid to interact with others. close.

The first 14 years of his life were a blank, and he had no long-term friends in the last four years. Tucker and Gao Leqi both had goals for him, and he never tried to understand these people.Because of this, his indifference and alienation unknowingly aroused disgust and suspicion, which eventually turned into revenge.

It is more likely that the reason may not be so simple. If it were just that, Hillidege would just let Xie Yunjin fend for himself.Just as Priest Mengde sensed the threat from Hillidege, Hillidege also sensed the threat from Xie Yunjin to him. He was eliminating possible political opponents in the future. The reason why he came was to determine the whereabouts and whereabouts of Xie Yunjin. life and death.

The desire for power is like a whirlpool, pulling in and tearing everyone nearby.

No, we can't just give up, Xie Yunjin thought, there must be another chance.

The tortured slaves returned to the slave room to rest one by one. The rest time was only half a day. At night, they still had to drag their aching bodies to serve the soldiers, including the female slaves.

But the diet is really good. I have two pieces of barley cakes and dried meat for two meals a day.

The next morning, there was a smell coming from the slave room. Xie Yunjin was very familiar with this smell, and there was another slave who died.

He was sick, he knew it, but the slave had no choice.He had to do all the labor, push carts, fetch water, and be ordered around.He barely cleared his head and tried to find a way to escape.

For Kaya, the harvest of the hunt is not important, what he enjoys is the fun of the hunt.He is a man who loves to enjoy himself. He gets drunk every night. Sometimes when he has a headache, he stays in the camp and lets Dake hunt.Kaya will be violent for no reason, even when drunk or not, punching and kicking the slave.He likes "kicking the ball", which is the punishment that slaves fear most. Kaya and Dake will select a slave who has made a mistake and ask that slave to hold his knees with his hands and bury his head between his knees, like a ball. , tied up with a rope.

He and Dake will start kicking the ball, and whoever the ball passes behind will lose.

Not a single human ball survives.

Concubine Mi's real name is Mi'er, and the title concubine is meaningless.Mi'er has no dignity. As long as Kaya wants to, he will call her to deal with it anytime and anywhere.Kaya doesn't care about other people's opinions, and is even willing to show her "bravery" in front of others.

As for Dake, she is truly a madman, a madman who enjoys killing people. Xie Yunjin thinks she is crazier than Kaya.

Ten days later, Xie Yunjin survived and his body gradually recovered.The hunting team had planned to return. The harvest of this trip was not great. Although they hunted and replenished many refugees, business travelers without passes, and innocent people, the captives suffered too many casualties, and only about fifty people were left alive.

Atulieba is very close, but the return journey is very slow, because Kaya enjoys the joy of hunting. It is hard to imagine that a Sasi can be so leisurely. Look at the diligence of Gursasi...

Xie Yunjin knew that once he returned to Atulie Batu, he would have fewer opportunities, but he could not think of a complete plan.

That day, he was asked to fetch water. By the lake, he saw Mi'er taking a bath.She was naked and not afraid of anyone seeing her, including slaves. Is there anyone who hasn't seen her ugly appearance?In order to survive, she had to work hard to accommodate, moan, and show Kaya's bravery.

Mi'er saw Xie Yunjin. At this time, Xie Yunjin's clothes were in tatters and he was dirty. Like other slaves, Mi'er didn't pay much attention.

The slaves were not allowed to talk to others, nor were they allowed to converse. After all, before returning to Batu, they were worried that the slaves would unite to resist, but they were not afraid that their resistance would succeed. This possibility is slim, but if there are casualties, it is also property. loss.

But Xie Yunjin knew that he had to seize this opportunity. When he spoke, he had to gain trust with just one sentence, otherwise he might not get a chance after being beaten.

"I have a way to save you, and there will be no loss to you."

Mi'er turned to look at Xie Yunjin in surprise.She said nothing. This concubine had no status and was only a little higher than slaves and commoners.

"Please, let me meet Da Ke alone." Xie Yunyan said, "I have a way to save you and let you escape."

He didn't think of any solution yet, but he vaguely sensed the slightest opportunity from the conversation between Hilidegg and Kaya.

"You can't speak without an order!" Mi'er said, "Do you want to die? I'll have someone beat you to death right away!"

She is demonstrating her weak power, which is only a little higher than slaves and civilians, even if she is just the target of Kaya's vent.

"I am really the penman of Gursasi, the priest of Nabu Batu, and I was framed. I have the wisdom given by the God of Sa, allowing me to meet Da Ke alone." Xie Yunyan said, "In this way, I can There is a way to save you and save myself.”

He had already said too much, and without waiting for Mi'er's reply, he walked back with the bucket.

"Guard!" Mi'er shouted, "He is talking to me, he is disrespectful to Kayasasi!"

A soldier came forward, stared at Mier's plump breasts and slender waist, and asked, "Did he say anything disrespectful to Kayasas?"

Insulting Sa Si is a serious crime. A simple beating can lead to serious execution. What Xie Yunjin said just now is very likely to result in execution.

"He said that he is the priest of Nabu Batu, and he wants to see Master Da Ke!" Mi'er answered truthfully.

"Still dreaming!" The soldier was furious, slapped Xie Yunjin twice, grabbed Xie Yunjin's arm and said, "I will take you to see Kayasasi and let you talk about your grievances!"

Seeing Kaya still not being treated as a human ball?Xie Yunjin was thinking hard about how to escape when Mi'er took the guard's arm and put it on his chest and said: "He is just crazy, please spare his life. It is a pity that there is one less slave."

With the nephrite in hand, the guard was distracted and said hurriedly: "Just listen to Concubine Mi's orders." Then he slapped Xie Yunjin twice and shouted, "Get out!"

That night, Xie Yunjin was pouring wine, and Kaya called Mi'er to have fun again. Across the fire, Xie Yunjin and Mi'er looked at each other. Xie Yunjin's eyes were firm, as if telling Mi'er: "Believe me." .”

Before the soldiers rest, the slaves return to the slave camp. They have been tired for a day and rest as soon as they fall down. Those crying, mourning, sighing, and beating their chests have been polished away in these ten days.

Xie Yunjin didn't give up yet, he specifically chose the position closest to the tent door.This location is very bad. Some of the guards guarding the camp gate will deliberately tease the slaves sleeping near the tent door to make them sleep poorly.

Mi'er arrived. She spoke a few words to the guard standing at the door, got into the tent, and called Xie Yunjin in the dark. Xie Yunjin stood up immediately.

"Can you really save me?" she asked in a low voice. "Yes, as long as you let me see Master Da Ke." Xie Yunjin said.

"What do you want to say to Da Ke? I will help you pass the message."

"It's only useful if I say it myself, you can't." Xie Yunjin was ecstatic. He finally got a chance, "Believe me, I won't harm you."

Mi'er left.

There was no news for the next two or three days, and Xie Yunjin was about to return to Atulie Batu, but he did not panic.He understood the truth that God decides what is planned and what is done depends on man. It is useless to panic. He can only do his best and obey God's will.

One night when Kaya was drunk again, he lost a game of football with Dakko. In a rage, he drew his knife and chopped the poor slave into several pieces, scolding Dakko as "a female donkey that can't give birth to a baby." ".The two almost started fighting, but finally Kaya said, "My knife is not stained with the blood of a female donkey," and left drunkenly.

It was this night that the sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" appeared in front of the slave camp, which ignited Xie Yunjin's hope.

"I want to take away this slave named Jin Yunjin." Da Ke only said this and took him away.Along the way, the "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound on Da Ke's body never stopped, and every sound was like a knock on Xie Yunxiang's heart.

But he managed to keep his cool, surprising even himself.

Dake took him to the main camp and dismissed the guards. "Mi'er said you want to see me and tell me something important." Da Ke sat in the main seat, which was originally Kaya's position, but Kaya was not in the main camp tonight. He set up a tent to sleep and called the guards.

"If Kaya didn't like to fuck her, I would have knocked out her teeth. She took several punches from me, but she still hopes that I can see you." Da Ke stretched out his index finger and said to Xie Yunyan, "Come here."

Xie Yunjin stepped forward, and Da Ke unexpectedly kicked him in the abdomen with a heavy force. Xie Yunjin couldn't hold his stomach with his hands and retched, as if he was about to vomit out his internal organs.

"This is the punishment for slaves to talk to others indiscriminately." Dake asked, "What do you want to say?"

Xie Yunjin wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, his jaw ached and it was difficult to speak.He knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and he also knew that Da Ke was impatient, but he couldn't open his mouth and couldn't breathe. After a while, he reluctantly knelt down on one knee, stretched out his trembling left hand to touch his heart, and tried his best to say respectfully: "I …I am…a priest from…Nabu Batu.”

"You still want to say that you are the penman of Gulthas? That's good, who can have a slave with such status!" Dake laughed.

"No, it's not." Xie Yunjin tried hard to breathe evenly. The pain in his stomach spread to his chest, and even breathing felt stinging. "I...I want to say..."

"Kaya is not worthy of being Sa Si, you are the one who deserves the position of Sa Si."

He finally said it.

"You are really good at talking." Da Ke said with a smile, "Even if you lick my toes, it will be useless."

"Kaya is not a real warrior." Xie Yunjin said weakly, "He is afraid of Gulthas."

Da Ke stared at the slave kneeling on the ground, stepped forward and kicked Xie Yun in the back, making a "clang, clang, clang" sound all over his body.

Xie Yunjin was so painful that he almost breathed his last, but he still said firmly: "Do you still remember the massacre by the Holy Guard two years ago?"

Of course Dake remembered that that time, Nabu Batu's Holy Guards came too close to the holy mountain and clashed with Atuli Batu's Holy Guards. The two sides fought, and the Atuli Holy Guards, who had the numerical advantage, took back 23 heads. , there are many names among them.

Afterwards, Gulthas met with Kaya, just for this matter. Gulthas asked Kaya to hand over 23 heads, otherwise they would fight. Kaya roared and refused, asking Gulthas to do it on his own merits. take.

"Kayasas drove away the old man from Nabu." Dake sneered, "Is there a problem?"

"But later Gursasi sent people to take back 23 heads." Xie Yunjin shrank and said, "Kayasas didn't dare to fart. Kayasa only dared to roar and did not dare to retaliate. He was afraid of Gusasi. Ersasi, if you are not afraid, you should fight back and get back 230 heads..."

"Shut up!" Da Ke stretched out his foot and was about to kick it away when Xie Yunjin yelled at the top of his lungs: "Kaya is still afraid of you!"

Da Ke stopped with his feet in mid-air, slowly pulled them back, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Actually, Kaya is afraid of you." Xie Yunyan said, "He doesn't have real courage, you only have it. As long as you are given a chance, you dare to kill Gulthas! I am the smartest priest under Gulthas. , my wisdom matches your courage, kill Kaya, and let you replace him as the Sasi of Atuli!"

"How do you prove that you are a smart person? Listen to what you say is so stupid. Kaya took the most heads to become Sasi!"

"That's young Kaya. Now he's old, fat, and timid. He's afraid of you!" Xie Yunyan said, "The fact that I can see this just proves that I'm very smart!"

"Hehehehe!" Dake looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. Her laughter was really sharp. "You have the courage to say such things." She reached out and touched Xie Yunjin's lower body, and Xie Yunjin shrank in fear.

"It is said that this is the source of courage for men. If I took it away, would you still be so courageous?"

"No!" Xie Yunjin shouted, "There is no courage here, only stupidity. How many men are stupid because of this! Master Da Ke, although you don't have this thing, you are still full of courage!"

"I can make it into wine and drink it." Da Ke said, "I really should do this, starting with you."

"Then you will become as stupid as men, really! If this thing is useful, Kaya should eat more!" Xie Yunjin was anxious.

"Come here!" Dakko shouted, "Take him back to the slave camp!"

Two soldiers walked in from outside the barracks and dragged Xie Yunjin back to the slave camp.

If even this plan failed, Xie Yunjin could not think of any other way to escape, and the pain made it impossible for him to think.What will happen to you next?They were taken to Atulebatu to be slaves, and they were the most cruel slaves of Kaya and Dak. They might not survive even three months.

He fell into a drowsy sleep. After an unknown amount of time, a slight voice sounded.

"Master! Master!"

Master?How long has it been since anyone called him that?He opened his eyes, and a soldier spoke to him: "Don't make any sound, I will help you unlock the shackles."

He looked up and saw the faint firelight outside the tent shining at the door. Two guards were sitting lazily on the ground. If he looked carefully, he saw that they had arrows stuck in their throats and died before they could even make a sound.

This unknown warrior opened the lock as fast as breaking a chopstick, and Xie Yunjin's hands and feet were able to resume action immediately.

Who is this person?Why call me Master?
"Don't yell, listen to me." After untying Xie Yunjin's shackles, the man unshackled the other slaves one by one and comforted them, "I'm here to save you. I'm a soldier of Suma Batu. Today We want to get rid of the heretics.”

The man told unbelievable lies, but the slaves dared not say anything. Half of them were still awake, and the other half were confused.

"Our people will be here soon. After you go out, rush to the west. Someone will pick you up." The soldier said.

Yes... An idea flashed in Xie Yunjin's mind.

Four years, four years have passed...

"You wait until there is chaos outside before running away. Remember to grab weapons and kill the enemy. Someone will come to save you."

Dad finally sent someone to find me?Xie Yunjin's eyes turned red.

Dad finally sent someone to find me? !

"Hold on to me, don't move around, just hold on tight." The soldier ordered.Suddenly there was a loud noise outside, the fire suddenly lit up, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The soldier shouted loudly: "Charge!"

The slaves rushed out, and the warrior carried Xie Yunjin on his back and rushed out among the slaves.He was wearing a scimitar and slashed at the incoming attackers one after another, so fast that Xie Yunjin couldn't see clearly.

He had only seen such good martial arts in Master Jin.

This man is not rushing to the west, but to the east.When the fire lit up, he was not the only one coming. A dozen masters on horseback and in fur coats led dozens of refugees from the east to rush in to meet them, cutting down tents and kicking over torches along the way.

A group of soldiers came to fight with the masters and refugees. Another group caught up from behind and found Xie Yunjin who was about to escape. "Pah, pah, pah", Xie Yunjin heard the sound of his pursuers falling to the ground in the chaos. Three people had fallen to the ground, with arrows stuck in their chests, and the arrows were taken one after another, without missing a beat. The soldiers couldn't care less about chasing and were busy looking for cover.

They really didn't expect that someone would dare to attack the main camp of Atulie Batu.

Is this the night list?
