In Shiwu, the probability of slaves escaping is a small event. This does not mean that slaves are servile to the core, but simply because the probability of surviving after escaping is much smaller than if they do not escape.
If you don't run away, you can still make a living. Can you choose to run away?
hehe--
The first problem faced was not the pursuit of soldiers, but the wilderness where raptors and wild beasts were involved all year round. The second problem was lack of food and water.
Because slaves are worthless in Shiwu, it is better to buy them instead of spending manpower and material resources searching for them.
Slaves also know how to weigh the pros and cons.
Naturally, he will not escape easily.
Therefore, the tribe did not strictly control the slaves.
Strangely, there was a group of more than ten slaves fleeing in the wilderness at this time. The leader led them to a rock, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he dug out more than ten sets of heavy cold-proof clothes from the rock.
Winter coat.
These winter coats are available in men's and women's styles, large and small.
Some of the fabrics were not suitable for slaves to wear. The leader handed out winter clothes one by one. Although the other slaves were impatient, they still restrained the urge to rush forward.
They were wearing thin clothes and were almost blown away by the cold wind.
Putting on winter clothes, the body temperature slowly warmed up, and my stiff and cold limbs felt a bit itchy as the temperature rose.
The leader asked: "Have you all received your portion?"
One after another, slaves answered: "I got it."
"Everyone is hungry. Let's go on the road after eating." The leader dug out the dry food and water bags that he had hidden the day before. There were even dried mutton and beef among them. Several slaves' eyes were filled with tears.
Red, "Eat, eat."
Although the water in the water bag is ice and the dry food is rough and hard, and you have to bite it off with great force, then soak it with saliva and swallow it, there is no taste at all, but for
It is a rare delicacy for slaves.
They kept their heads down and ate hard.
Everyone was silent, only the wild cold wind howled.
Finally, after eating half full, their hungry and cramped stomachs were soothed, and they let go of their tense nerves.
All eyes were cast on the leader.
This leader was actually a relative of their former tribe. When the tribe suffered a disaster, they were captured, and the leader took advantage of the chaos and killed them. Everyone thought that the other party either starved to death or was torn apart by wolves...
…
I didn't expect to see him again.
It also brought news that could be called a daydream.
He is currently seeking refuge in a "tribe" that has plenty of food and plenty to manage. The brothers and sisters in the "tribe" are all in the same situation as them. To put it bluntly, they are just refugees. He came here this time to help the "tribe" recruit talented people and expand its business.
scale.
As long as they are willing to go there, they will be treated favorably.
They have thick winter clothes to wear, delicious food to eat, no need to be squeezed and whipped by the so-called masters, and no need to worry about losing their lives at any time. In the leader's description, the "tribe" is almost a paradise on earth, but they don't believe it.
Because in the social structure of Shiwu, refugees are a group that is thousands of times worse off than slaves. They have no fixed place to live and no source of food. They are rejected and driven away by all tribes. They are bereft dogs! No, they are just a pile of rotting maggots!
The leader tried his best to persuade him, but in the end he had no choice but to show the "inscription" on the "Ancestral Stone Stele". He had chewed the contents over and over again, and Gu Chi and others had deliberately added
His "private goods" and his speeches completely captured the emotions of these slaves. In the end, he followed him out half-confidently and only after seeing the winter clothes and food did he let go of his worries.
"Have you finished eating?" the leader asked.
Everyone nodded in response.
"After eating, we'll hit the road." The leader took a deep breath. The coolness brought by the cold air passing through his lungs calmed his swollen brain. He silently calculated how much time it would take on the road and said, "We'll be there soon."
Be free!"
The warning from the ancestors landed on their territory.
This means that the ancestors favored them.
The numb eyes of the slaves also had a little more yearning for the "tribe" he described in his mouth, and their eyes seemed to be revitalized. After taking a short rest, the group continued to move forward against the cold wind. What was different from before was that they
His steps were extremely firm.
The same scene happened in other tribes.
Of course, not all lobbying can be successful. Some slaves are really timid, scared, and suspicious, and refuse to leave. The lobbyists can only quietly instill the contents of the "Ancestor Stone" to encourage the slaves to have courage.
It doesn't matter if you don't want to leave now, as long as you have hope, one day you can cleanse Shi Wu of his unhealthy tendencies and let the god descendants return to the altar!
The slave didn't believe it at first.
But I don't know if it was comfort in their hearts or something else. After a day of oppression, they huddled in a small and cold place and silently recited the "Ancestral Inscription" in their hearts. They felt that the suffering inflicted on them was lighter, and they temporarily forgot the pain.
Naturally, they attributed this to the mercy of their ancestors. Initially they were dubious, but gradually they became convinced.
Later, it spread quietly among the slave community.
These slaves are also "alert".
About the ancestors, they only told the slaves who were resentful and dissatisfied with the bullying by their masters. Those slaves who were the master's lackeys helped the master to bully the slaves even more, and they kept it secret in a tacit agreement.
I do this not because I have a sense of crisis, but because I simply feel that these people, like the superior masters, have betrayed the teachings of their ancestors, are "traitors", and are not worthy of being saved!
When Wang Tingxun discovered this, the faith given by the ancestors had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the slaves, and also affected the ordinary people of the Shiwu tribe. A single spark can also start a prairie fire. But they don’t know that this fire is not rebirth from the ashes, but
Crushing bones and scattering ashes.
The culprit of all is making his next move.
only--
Shen Tang was covered in blood and Da Ma Jin Dao sat there panting.
Before she could wipe the blood from her face, Gu Chi and Xian Yujian strode over with solemn expressions. Shen Tang raised his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and looked at Xian Yujian.
"Zigu, what's the matter?"
Xian Yujian took out a sheepskin letter from his armor.
He handed it over with both hands: "Lord, this is a secret message just found in the target's main account——"
Shen Tang took it, opened it and scanned it.
His expression gradually became serious, just like Gu Chi's, and his fingers gradually tightened, wishing he could spread the letter.
Because this is not a simple letter, but a troop deployment order sent by Shiwu Wangting. She is full of murderous intent, and every word seems to be oozing with blood: "Shiwu Wangting wants to take advantage of this juncture to gather an army to attack Yong." Guguan? Don’t you think there are not enough dead people in your family?”
Or is it that she hasn’t killed enough in the past half month?
Does Shiwu still have the mood to invade south?
Regardless of rectifying internal problems?
Xian Yujian also knew that the situation was serious and asked softly: "Lord, should we continue this time, or should we divert our troops?"
Shen Tang raised his eyes and looked at Gu Chi.
Gu Chi said: "If we return to help, the effect will not be much."
They have too few troops.
More than two thousand people are just a drop in the bucket.
He added: "If you resolve a complicated dispute without controlling your fists, if you rescue a fighter without fighting, if you criticize the strong and suppress the weak, and if the shape and form are restrained, then you can solve the problem by yourself... It is not as good as 'surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao'."
Gu Chi: "They dare to go out in full force to attack Yonggu Pass, so we will take advantage of their internal emptiness and destroy the Shiwu King's Capital!"
