King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 748 Slave Circle

"I... want to stop all of this at all!" Li Lin kept shouting in his heart, but all this is not so simple. He is a road idiot, so he must form an alliance with others!Thinking about it, Li Lin looked at Qu Bei in front of him. This person saved his life, so of course he is the best candidate for his alliance!
Next, it is already very simple, that is to work, slaves, there is no rest time, if these Qianghu people are merciful, they can still give you a full meal, if they really don’t treat you as a human being , then you will be exhausted to death in the mine, so what can you do?Here, these Qianghu people are gods......

"Don't be lazy!" The black and fat guards shouted at the slaves who were working while waving their whips.

This is a huge mine. Iron ore is different from coal mines. Most of them can be found on the surface of the earth. So the mine is not deep. It belongs to the scope of open-pit mines. There are also some vertical shafts and horizontal shafts to mine the ore stored on the shallow surface. Thousands of bare-chested slaves dig iron ore with iron axes, hammers, iron awls, and iron picks under the scorching sun under the whip of the supervisor, and carry the mined ore to the beneficiation plant in bamboo baskets. After washing, the dark red hematite ore was selected, and the red muddy water flowed into the moat of the iron factory, dyeing the river like a corpse dump after the massacre.In the iron factory surrounded by city walls, there are many blast furnaces and chimneys. The slaves carried the original ore little by little to the ore smelting place for preliminary refining. All Li Lin saw were these and the rest of the ore How it turned into pig iron and was forged into a weapon is unknown...

The huge blast furnace swallows countless ores, coke, and limestone every day, discharges thick smoke from the chimney, flows dark red hot molten iron from the taphole, and discharges waste slag from the slag tap. , the iron furnace full of evil beauty, the Qiang Hu knight riding a war horse, holding a knife, and a bow and arrow on his waist, and the fiery red sunset in the sky, constitute a strange picture.

Li Lin was bent over under the weight of the heavy ore basket, sweat flowed down his dirty hair and blinded his eyes, and the wound on his back was burning hot, but if you want to live, you have to work, today is the second day God, these Qianghu people were still humane yesterday. They gave these slaves a full meal. Almost all the slaves who mined with them were prisoners of war. People, the captured prisoners of war, there are also a small number of refugees who were kidnapped like Li Lin, most of them are Han Chinese, but the Han people are generally not as good as the Hu people. After all, they are common people, so many died, some of them were They have been slaves for a long time, and they also told "newcomers" like Li Lin that these Qianghu people don't have to torture you to death when they treat slaves, they also need you to live, after all, only you can survive if you live. Can work for them, as a slave!No personal freedom, no dignity at all. After the slaves fought to death among themselves or were beaten to death by the supervisor, they were thrown into a deep natural cave nearby like a dead dog. There was no tombstone, no wreath, and no one even remembered their names.

But after only a simple day, Li Lin saw the struggles that the slaves only saw here. Li Lin saw dozens of newcomers, so they had to be slaves with their tails between their legs. So many old slaves were taller than them At the top, there are the bosses among the slaves on the Internet, and then the overseers. These slaves are all from that nationality, especially those prisoners of war. Most of them are brave and ruthless, and many of them are soldiers. The two ethnic groups had enmity, and they were both reduced to slaves. They still did not forget the feud, and often fought over a morsel of food, even killing people.Li Lin had to change in such an environment. Of course, he had to completely abandon his bohemian self. Li Lin knew that the direct scholar Hou Yu was so cold and cold. After more than ten years of fighting, the murderous aura on his body could be said to be so strong, but now The viciousness in Li Lin's heart is no less than the expression on his face......

At night, Li Lin and dozens of slaves lay down together on a big bunk made of broken planks. The solar term has entered autumn, and the weather in this pass has turned cold, especially at night. Fortunately, dozens of people are energetic men, so they won't be so cold that they can't sleep.

And what about Li Lin?After being hurt, exhausted, and mentally exhausted, he gradually fell asleep. Li Lin had many dreams. He dreamed that the women in his family, his son, daughter, and all his loved ones were all caught by Liu He. , Liu He actually broke into Xuchang, all his brothers were brutally killed by Liu He, Liu He was like a god of killing, and his family members were all wailing, calling for their husband, calling for their father, But he couldn't do anything, and it was impossible to move. Li Lin saw that Liu He's steel knife was already on his family's neck, and wanted to reach out and hold the steel knife, but he couldn't do it at all. Can't stretch out.

"Ah..." Li Lin wailed loudly, and suddenly, the scene changed again, and it became the outside of this fortress, just like the scene when I came this morning, I knelt on the ground, and in front of me was a red Behind the moat was the nasty Qianghu man, with a bloody long knife dangling his bloody head in front of Li Lin's eyes, only to hear a vicious voice blasting in his ears, and roared to himself: "This is The fate of running away! See it clearly!" Immediately, the Qianghu man swung the head off the sword, and the head fell into the red moat, and then, with a wave of his hand, the Qianghu man swung the sword towards him. …………

"Ah!" Li Lin screamed, waking up from a series of nightmares, sat up suddenly, and found that his body was already soaked in sweat, and there was a sound of snoring all around him, the smell of sweat, feet and farts mixed together The smell of vomit, the big floor, occupies half of the room, the door of the house is closed, the high windows are embedded with thumb-thick subway fences, and the moonlight shines in through the windows, forming mottled spots on Li Lin's face. shadow.

Looking at the dozen or so filthy big men, the Huns were still lying next to him. Li Lin pinched his thigh, the pain was not a dream.Suddenly, I felt a pain in my chest. I looked down and saw that the place where the whip had been broken during the day was still there. Most importantly, these Qianghu people, in order to show that the slaves were their own private goods, put hot water on each slave. The branding iron burned the imprint on Li Lin's right shoulder. It is very simple, just a wavy imprint, but to Li Lin, this is a huge insult, but what about the insult, his life is on others In his hands, he wants to survive and prevent the rise of these barbarians, so he must swallow his anger first, and he will be the final winner!
"Gou Jian, the King of Yue, gave Nima a hard time, and I survived a catastrophe, and I survived three times, so I don't believe there is anything else that can defeat me!" Li Lin only comforted himself in this way.

Every day, early in the morning, the Qianghu people who supervise the work will wake up with a whip, and then they will go out in piles, work, work, work, and in the afternoon, there will be a meal, eat, and then oh Ah, hi, you can rest for a while. This is not because you feel sorry for the slaves, but because all the supervisors need to rest. No one supervises the slaves, and then they still work. When the sun goes down, they all go back to this Chase bunk and sleep.

In the slave circle, all conflicts are resolved with fists, and those with weak physiques can only be reduced to the prey of the weak. The slaves of slaves, just like in this fortress, the slaves have several very powerful roles, which can be called The boss of the slaves seems to be in a prison. Although they are all in prison, some people are the boss in the prison, and some are playthings. Usually no one dares to bully them, only they bully others. The slave team is at the top of the food chain, and the mines on both sides are very large, so the Qianghu people also divided the slaves into several teams. Every three teams are governed by a centurion. There are twelve teams in total. Of course, there are also bosses who respond, plus hundreds of Qianghu soldiers who are only responsible for guarding for a long time, so the long-term garrison of Qianghu people in this fortress is definitely more than 1000 people. Lin used to be an elite Youliao army, if 500 people came, they would definitely be wiped out, but now it is different, even these news, Li Lin stayed here for two days, and after a lot of effort, he found out of.

And the Qianghu people went to humble, not knowing what he was doing, but he seemed to understand how these Qianghu people treated slaves, or asked for information among slaves, and was willing to help Li Lin, although Li Lin was somewhat suspicious of this Humble motives, but who can I count on now?Only he has this Hun who saved his life, Li Lin never thought that he would count on a Hun to help him...

And the third day is a lucky day for all the slaves in this fortress, because a few sheep died in the fortress yesterday, of course they died of illness, and it was these bastard Qianghu people who snatched them from our Han people Yes, the Qianghu people would definitely not eat it, but if they buried it directly, wouldn’t it be a waste, so it was treated as a reward and given to these slaves. Let them eat one first, and then see if there is any adverse reaction. , the Qianghu people ate the rest, and such a lucky thing fell on Li Lin's team......
