Chapter 28 Slave Caravan
Until midnight, Huofeng went down to the bottom of the cliff, checked the direction, turned and headed east.After running southward for three days from the valley where the Daoist Palace is located, and turning east again at this time, no one would have thought that as long as they leave this place, they will finally escape.Touching the three Taoist embryos in her bosom, Huofeng's heart became hot.Revenge always takes the first step. Although this first step is so difficult and dangerous, it is finally a success.

The dry and difficult river is tens of thousands of feet deep, with many rapids and hidden reefs.

Ren Daoyuan, whose whole body was like noodles, was supported by a mass of aquatic plants, with a bloodless face, drifting away for an unknown distance, until the river surface gradually widened, and the speed slowed down a little.

It has to be said that Ren Daoyuan's luck was not so good. He fell into the water from the cliff, and almost all his bones were broken.To say that such luck is one in a million is to say that it is rare.

But for Ren Daoyuan at this time, it was not so bad, not only the bones on his body were broken in dozens of places, but his entire face became unrecognizable.Judges, you can think about it, what will happen if you fall from a cliff hundreds of feet high and touch the water face first?Needless to say, the nasal bone was broken, and there was almost no complete part of the entire face. It could not be called disfigurement, but the effect was even more terrifying than disfigurement.

As for the clothes on his body, not to mention, being carried by Huofeng all the way, he never thought about his life or death. His clothes were scraped into strips long ago, and after being soaked in water, they were not much better than being naked.

The surface of the river gradually widened, the dense forest by the river receded, and a not-so-spacious path appeared beside the river. A long convoy, amidst the melodious sound of horse bells, headed south unhurriedly.

The Gannan River is very dangerous. It originates from Qingzhou in Bahuang, passes through Yunzhou in Guangde, and ends in Baidumanzhou, all the way south into the sea.In Qingzhou, all are dangerous places, and there are few people on both sides of the strait.

The small road in front of him was obviously not an official road, and he could barely pass a carriage.There are many guards in the cavalry, dressed in leather armor and holding sharp weapons, they look extremely sturdy.The carriage was covered with a black cloth, and there were groans in the carriage from time to time.Anyone who does this knows that this is a slave caravan.

In the world of Kyushu, no matter which state, there are people who trade slaves.There are many sources of slaves, including death row prisoners, family members of criminal officials, thieves, prisoners of war, and even cheated, abducted, and robbed slaves.Anyway, as long as it is valuable, someone will buy it.Someone buys, and of course someone sells.

After all, the mainland of Kyushu has a vast area. Except for the Qianzhou of Middle Earth, which has a large population, the demand for population in the other eight states has never stopped.

Naturally, the role of slaves is also quite large. It is not bad that a large family needs slaves, but mines everywhere need labor, and that life will be miserable. Every day, slaves will die, no matter how many there are, it is not enough to sell.As for female slaves, there are even more buyers. Top-notch women can be sold for sky-high prices after training.Those who are inferior are sold to others as concubines, or sent to prostitutes.Worst of all, washing and cooking, carrying water and chopping firewood.

If it is worse, you can only work as an ox and a horse, and work hard with the men. In that day, it is worse than the men in the mine. Not only do the same work, but are teased by the supervisors in the mine, They may even be caught and vented by men who are also hard workers.

In short, as long as it is human, as long as it has breath, it is always valuable.

"Head, there is a man in the river." The samurai standing on the roof of the car shouted loudly.

The one called the head is a strong man nine feet tall. The leather armor on his body only protects a few important parts, and the rest of the body is naked with dark skin.At this time, he was sitting in an open carriage, drinking wine and eating large pieces of meat.Naturally, slave trafficking is not a good job. The journey is long, and along the way, you can eat and sleep in the open, ferocious beasts, thieves, and everything can be encountered.Fortunately, one trafficked, the harvest is quite rich, naturally some people are willing to do it with their heads up.

"Male and female, alive or dead?" In the eyes of a strong man, there are different categories of people. There are sellers, buyers, brothers, and "goods".

"Man, if you move your finger, you should still be alive." The watchman may not have high military strength, but his eyesight must be excellent.The road was right by the river, and the group of aquatic plants was several feet away from the shore, so we could naturally see it clearly.It's just that the person is entangled in water plants, if you don't pay attention, you really can't see someone in the grass.

The strong man thought for a while, then laughed: "This ghost place is either a hunter or a fugitive. Call the two brothers to fish it up and see if it is alive, put it in a cage, and it will be money."

"Yes." From the convoy, a few with good water qualities were selected, and Ren Daoyuan among the aquatic plants was fished up from the river in twos and twos.

A warrior proficient in medical skills touched Ren Daoyuan's body and scolded: "It's unlucky, this guy must have fallen off the cliff, his face was out of shape, and at least twenty bones were broken on his body, but he didn't die. Life is really big."

The brawny man was taken aback, and raised his head and asked, "Look at what kind of cultivation it is?" He is naturally a bold person who dares to take this road to sell slaves, but it does not mean he is a fool. In the eyes of many people, Heaven Rank is nothing.A man can't sell for too much money, so don't get into trouble.

The subordinate responded, touched up and down carefully for a while, and replied: "Head, it's a young boy, about 20 years old, human level cultivation, not bad."

After all, this person was in a coma, and his whole body was severely injured. With his means, he couldn't tell which rank he was.What's more, he doesn't really care which rank it is, 20-year-old human rank, that's the thing, if you practice fast, you are already a low-rank human rank at the age of ten.

"Is it cured well?" I heard that it is a human class. Don't worry, the strong man is not afraid, even if he is a child of an aristocratic family, he will not be afraid. After walking for two days, he will arrive at Yunzhou, so what if he is a child of an aristocratic family in Qingzhou?If it is sold, it will be sold, as long as it is not discovered.

That guy naturally knows what the boss is asking. With his method, it is just a broken bone. If there is anything that can't be cured, it depends on the cost. If it is too expensive, it is not as good as his own value, then just throw it away. Forget about drowning in the river.

"No problem, just use herbs. You don't need to spend a penny, but the food is a little troublesome." The man replied, food is also money.

"Clothes? Face? What's wrong with your body?" The boss is cautious and would not take risks for a guy who is not worth much, so naturally he had to ask more clearly.

"The clothes are gone, and there is only a wooden hairpin on him, which is worth two elders. As for the face...he has no face, hahaha..." All the warriors laughed, this is the most interesting, even if there is trouble, No one could recognize the kid in front of him.His face was gone, his body was full of broken bones, and his figure was out of shape. Even if this boy's parents came, he might not be able to recognize who he was.

"Well, put it in a cage and let people watch it. This is also money." The boss finally made a decision.As for the wooden hairpin hanging on Ren Daoyuan's chest, not to mention these well-paid slave trade warriors, even slaves in cages may not see it.

The original good-looking hairpin, after being modified by Ren Daoyuan, is worse than ordinary jewelry, as if it was carved by the child himself.As for things like Kong Lingmu, many palm eyes in the prefectures can't recognize them, let alone these reckless slave traders.

Needless to say the condition of the slave car, the cabin is quite big, only a little smaller than the Ren family's luxury car.But there were too many people in it, and more than 20 people were crowded in the compartment that could only accommodate five or six people.

A man with medical skills, after simple bone setting, threw Ren Daoyuan into the carriage casually, picked some herbs, mashed them, mixed them with water, and asked his slaves to smear Ren Daoyuan all over his body.

The slave caravan continued to move forward, and the men were still talking and joking, not taking it seriously. As for Ren Daoyuan's life and death, it depended on whether his life was tough enough.

Most of the slaves in the slave car looked numb, like dead people.A middle-aged man huddled in the corner looked at Ren Daoyuan huddled into a ball, sighed, squeezed in front of him, and leaned against a corner of the car with him in his arms. This was considered a better position in the car.

Along the way, the middle-aged man fed Ren Daoyuan some water and rice from time to time, and smeared the liquid made from herbs from time to time.Although it is simple, this potion is really effective. The broken bones are slowly recovering.

After more than ten days in the convoy, Ren Daoyuan miraculously woke up, but he couldn't speak, his whole body was limp, and his body leaning on the carriage seemed to be rusted.When I moved, my whole body was in severe pain, and when I opened my eyes, my eyelids were like mountains.

Ren Daoyuan didn't know where he was. Although there were many people in this carriage, it was dead. All day and night, except for the noise when eating, no one spoke at all.

At night, in the black-clothed slave car, he couldn't see his fingers. Ren Daoyuan moved carefully, his fingers were stiff, and he could barely move.I brushed my fingers across my chest, and I was overjoyed. I didn't expect that the space Taoist weapon would not be taken away if it fell into the hands of others.

With a light touch, a space invisible to the naked eye was opened, and two pills were taken out from it, and no matter what it was for, they were swallowed directly into the mouth.After waiting for a while, he took out a little food from it and swallowed it slowly with his saliva.

Naturally, there is nothing good about slave food, as long as people don't starve to death.It is usually some rice bran, with a little salt, boiled into a pot that even animals don't eat.There is only one meal of this kind of food a day, and the quantity is not much.This is the means of the slave convoy, as long as they don't starve to death, if they have strength, they might even think about running away.

This kind of diet, for ordinary people, can last for several months, but for a patient, it is fatal.Fortunately, Ren Daoyuan thought it was fun at the beginning, so he stored a lot of food in the space Taoist vessel.There is no time in the space Taoist vessel, and the things stored there will not change as long as the space is not damaged.

Among the food in the small kitchen at the beginning, there were all kinds of porridge, which was just right for Ren Daoyuan's appetite.As for sauced meat, which has a heavy taste, although it is more nutritious, Ren Daoyuan dare not take it out and eat it.

Eating food secretly to supplement nutrition, Ren Daoyuan's body is getting better day by day.He could feel that most of the broken bones in his body had been connected, and he could barely move his body.
