The Ma family believed in Buddhism for generations, and they used to be very lenient to their servants, so now the management of slaves is not very strict. Generally, as long as slaves work hard, they will not only eat well and live well, but even when they are old, the Ma family will buy them. The female slaves let them marry, and even if they make a particularly important contribution, they may be exempted from slavery by the Ma family and become a free person. This is the status that all slaves dream of, so the slaves of the Ma family are very loyal. Live very hard.

Thea saw that her father was eating with other people, so she didn't bother him. Instead, she entered the cooking area through the corner door next to the dining hall, and soon found her mother who was helping others cook.

Thea's mother was also very happy to see her daughter. She knew that Thea had gone to Coconut City today, so she asked Thea what she had seen and heard in the city today while she was working, and finally took a wooden plate and filled it for Thea. serving of rice.

Today is the day to improve food once a month, so the dishes are also very rich, including fried fish and lamb, and there is also a fried shredded potato.Thea likes to eat meat, so she filled more fried fish and mutton, and then sat in the back kitchen to eat.

After Thea had eaten, she immediately washed the dishes very obediently by herself. The same goes for the people eating in the dining hall outside. Go back and wash them until they are satisfied.Capital Datang 689

Thea helped her mother and other people in the kitchen put away all the plates, chopsticks, etc., and then cleaned all the cooking utensils. When they got home, it was completely dark and Sam was sitting in the yard. Draw water from the well and prepare to take a shower. In the hot weather of Java, the plantation requires everyone to take a shower every day.It is said that this can prevent the occurrence of some diseases.

Thea and mother also sweated a lot, so the family of three took a bath separately, and then changed into loose clothes.At this time, Thea took out all the things I bought today, and then opened them one by one. Among them were the clothes and small jewelry bought for my mother, as well as the shoes and sun hats I bought for my father Sam. These things They are very practical and make both Sam and his wife very happy.

It happened to be Sam's turn this evening, so Thea stayed at home with her mother.The mother and daughter helped Sam put on the plantation hair leather armor.Finally, with a bow and arrow on his back and a sharp horizontal knife hanging on his waist, Sam said goodbye to Thea mother and daughter, and strode to the turret in the northeast corner of the manor.

When Sam came to the front of the turret, he found that there were already three people waiting there.According to the rules, each turret needs to have four people on duty, one of them is a nursing home raised by the Ma family, one is an overseer, and the other two are strong slaves.

"Hello, Brother Ma, Thea went to the city today and bought a lot of things. So I'm late, I'm really sorry!" After seeing the middle-aged man in the lead, Sam immediately stepped forward and said apologetically .

The middle-aged man in front of him is named Ma Ming, the younger brother of the owner of the Ma family plantation.That is, the uncle of the Marin brothers and sisters.Moreover, this person is very remarkable. He used to be a guard in His Majesty's palace, and later became an officer because of his military merits, but only a few years ago.He was injured in an operation against natives in Borneo, which made his right leg somewhat inconvenient.Originally, the army wanted to arrange for him to work in Zhengfu, but it happened that the Ma family opened a plantation in Yecheng, and the place was not complete, so Ma Ming rejected the army's arrangement and returned home to help his brother manage the plantation.

Ma Ming is a very serious person, even after retiring, he still maintains his military qualities, so he glanced at Sam and said: "Well, today is the first time, I don't want to have a next time!"

Sam had learned bows and arrows and weapons from Ma Ming before, so he also knew this brother Ma's temper, so he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, don't worry, I promise that this situation will never happen again!"

Ma Ming also knows that although Sam is an American, he is honest and reliable, and he also knows that Marin and the others entered the city today, and that Ma Xiaoyu brought him his favorite fried stinky dried dumplings today. What Mu said was true, so he nodded and said: "Well, go to the kennel with me first, and lead the dog around the plantation!"

According to the rules, the person on duty at night does not stay on the turret all the time, but patrols the plantation twice a night. After all, all kinds of crops in the plantation also need to be protected, so as not to be damaged by people or large animals. up.

There was not enough manpower in the manor, so a large number of wolf dogs were raised. Sam followed Ma Ming to the kennel and released a dozen of the wolf dogs kept inside. At this time, two slaves also brought the horses.After all, the area of ​​the plantation is too large, and if you only rely on a pair of legs, you may not be able to walk all night.

The four of them got on the horses, and then called the wolf dogs to follow them out of the manor, and walked along the path between the fields. A dozen wolf dogs kept running in front of the horse gate. These wolf dogs had received special training and were very human. , there is no need to worry about them getting lost, and once they hear any unusual movement, they will immediately warn the owner, which can be said to be an excellent helper.

It took a full hour to go around the tens of thousands of acres of land, even on horseback, and what reassured Sam was that everything seemed normal, and they even hit one end on the road. The little wild boar who stole the food also had a face-to-face meeting with another team that came out to patrol from another turret when they went back.

Bringing the wild boar back to the turret, the two slaves immediately cleaned up the wild boar. There is a place to cook in the turret. After all, the patrols will definitely feel hungry at night, so they usually cook something to eat in the turret.

Honeycomb coal is burned in the stove, which is clean and easy. A large iron pot is placed on the stove. After a while, the water is boiled, and the wild pork that is cut into large pieces is thrown into the pot and cooked with various seasonings. up.The other internal organs and big bones that were cleaned up were all cheap for the pack of wolf dogs.

But just as Sam and the others were waiting to taste this unexpected delicacy, they suddenly saw them setting off a fiery red fireworks on a road right in front of their turret.

"No, the patrol team is in trouble!" Sam, who had been staring outside, shouted immediately, and at the same time picked up the bow and arrow and the horizontal knife and was about to go downstairs.The fireworks just now were used by the patrol team to call for help. Generally, they would only send a signal for help when they encountered an enemy they could not resist. That's why Ma Ming was so anxious.

Ma Ming also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he took up his weapon and rushed out, but he didn't forget to order the two slaves to guard the turret, in case he fell into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.The horses were just under the turret, and they rode out of the manor.

Ma Ming is very familiar with the roads in the plantation. He knew where the patrol team was when he saw the distress signal just now, so he chose the shortest road and rushed there. , I heard the people in front shouting and neighing into a mess, and among them were wolf dogs barking fiercely from time to time.Capital Datang 689

Ma Ming and Sam urged their horses, and after turning around a sugarcane forest, they immediately saw a dozen black shadows besieging the patrolling four on the road ahead. Under the light of the torches, one of the slaves on horseback Covered in blood, it looked like they were seriously injured, but the other three were fine, no obvious injuries could be seen, but they were also entangled now, unable to separate their hands to shoot arrows, so they could only use the horizontal knife in their hands to block the black shadow s attack.

Fortunately, the patrolling people brought more than a dozen wolf dogs. These fierce and loyal wolf dogs really helped a lot in times of emergency. From time to time, they jumped on the black shadow and took the initiative to attack, but the weapons in the hands of these black shadows could hurt the wolf dogs. There were already three wolfhounds lying there motionless, and they probably would not survive. The others were also scarred. If they hadn't been loyal to their master, the four patrolling people would have been killed by the other party long ago.

Seeing this situation, Ma Ming's face was extremely gloomy, and he saw the silent bow and arrow, "嗖嗖嗖~" There was a sound of piercing through the air, and several long arrows flew like a line. As a result, several black shadows who had been dancing happily just now fell down in response, and the arrows were all fatal in one blow.

At the same time, Sam also opened his bow and arrows, but he hadn't learned bows for a long time, so his archery skills were naturally not comparable to Ma Ming's. Only half of the arrows shot hit the target, and none of them were fatal. Changjian only screamed a few times, but did not fall down.

However, when the four patrolling men saw their reinforcements arriving, they all lifted their spirits. In addition, the black shadows besieging them were reduced by a small half, which immediately relieved their pressure and began to fight back vigorously. Those who besieged them couldn't stand it anymore, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, shouted a few times in local language, and these people immediately gave up the siege, turned around and fled into the sugarcane forest.

Hearing the native language spoken by the other party, Ma Ming immediately knew that these people must be wandering native robbers. Thinking that his leg was injured by the suppression of the natives, he had to retire in the end, so he wished to kill all the natives people.Therefore, seeing the other party running away, he immediately shot a few more arrows. Unfortunately, because of the obstruction of the sugarcane, only one shot was killed, and the others were injured and fled.

Of course, Ma Ming couldn't let go of these nasty local bandits. He immediately ordered the remaining wolf dogs to pursue them, and then the six of them split up to outflank them. After all, in terms of familiarity with the terrain, those local bandits are absolutely incomparable to them. .

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, other supporters finally arrived. Under Ma Ming's command, they quickly blocked the group of native robbers on a road leading to the outside of the plantation. Under the illumination of a few torches, Ma Ming finally saw the true colors of this group of native robbers, but when they saw each other, Ma Ming and others couldn't help being startled.
