Chapter 37 Darkness
The woman was stunned and sat still.
"I'm hungry, go out and find me some food." Wu Dongfang waved his hand at the other party.
The woman heard it clearly this time, left the bed and walked to Wu Dong's side, "What do you want to eat?"
"The best." Wu Dongfang said. Yunping just said that there were exquisite food here, and he was very curious about what exquisite food was.
"The hot meat is the best." The woman asked.
"Just it, go." Wu Dongfang waved his hand and urged.
The woman walked towards the door and turned around frequently while walking. She had accompanied many guests, and this was the first time she encountered this kind of beauty and was just thinking about eating.
In less than five minutes, the woman came back and brought a few guys with a look of friends. The man walking in front was carrying a bronze ware of strange style, which looked a bit like a small round tripod, and the man behind was carrying wooden barrels of different sizes in his hands.
When I lay stone slabs, put copper ware, add water, and add hot charcoal. When I saw adding hot charcoal, Wu Dongfang understood that this was hot pot, and there was hot pot in the Xia Dynasty.
The meat is sliced, and one person eats, and many people serve him. Wu Dongfang doesn't like being served by others, so he drives away a few guys and sits there to eat. Except for slowness, the other things are similar to modern hot pot. Unfortunately, there are no chili at this time, which is not enough.
"Come here, come here." Wu Dongfang waved to the young woman standing at the door.
This woman had just gone out and was very cold, and her lips were still black now. When she heard Wu Dongfang calling her, she walked over with a frown. She didn't know how Wu Dongfang would instruct her.
"Are there any wine?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Yes, yes, yes." The woman agreed repeatedly, turned around and walked to the wooden frame on the western wall, "What wine do you want to drink?"
"The best." Wu Dongfang said.
When the woman heard this, she stood on tiptoe and took a porcelain bottle from the upper left lattice of the wooden stand. The porcelain bottle was a little bigger than a modern wine bottle, similar to a flower-arranged vase, with a lid on it.
Wu Dongfang splashed the tea and signaled the woman to pour wine.
The woman poured it on him, and Wu Dongfang picked up the wine glass that was originally a teacup and looked at it. He found that the wine was very clear. The rich and powerful people were different. The rosé was filtered very cleanly. After taking a bite, it was not high and it was quite refreshing.
"What's your name?" Wu Dongfang asked the woman standing beside her with a bottle of wine. The woman's posture of holding the bottle of wine was quite professional, and she knew that she used to do similar jobs.
"Scoop away." The woman replied.
"You can sit down and eat too." Wu Dongfang pointed to the seat opposite.
Haoli shook his head and stood still.
"Sit down and eat!" Wu Dongfang raised his tone.
Haoli sat down on his side, and Wu Dongfang handed over a pair of chopsticks and signaled her to do it herself.
The good clothes don’t mean the food is good. Yaoli likes mutton very much. Wu Dongfang deliberately refused to visit her and asked her to eat casually.
When Baoli completely let go, Wu Dongfang began to pour wine for her. Baoli snatched the bottle and poured it for Wu Dongfang first.
Mobilizing emotions is a basic quality that an army commander must possess. Soon he established a relationship with Haoli. From Haoli, he learned that this was an official station, a place where officials from all over the country went to the capital to take temporary rest and stay. There were more than a dozen women like her, all of whom were slaves. Their job was to accompany officials from other places.
Wu Dongfang once heard Mingyue say that there were slaves in the Xia Dynasty, but he didn't know how the slaves came from. After asking Haoli, he realized that the slaves mainly came from previous tribal wars. The defeated party was either killed or captured to act as slaves. The descendants of slaves were also slaves when they were born. These people were the main body of slaves. In addition to them, those who committed the crime would also be punished as slaves. Civilians who offended the powerful and wizards would also be punished as slaves. In short, if they were not careful, they would become slaves.
When asked about the number of slaves, Haoli answered a lot, but she couldn't say how many of them were.
Princes and nobles and wizards at all levels have different numbers of slaves. The slaves are engaged in the hardest work, without freedom, holidays, and no wages. They do not desire these things. As long as they can live, they are satisfied, because their masters can decide their life and death at will. Killing slaves is as ordinary as killing chickens and dogs, and they may soon fall to the ground.
When asked why they didn't resist, Haoli's answer made him laugh and cry. Compared with the killed slaves, they were already very lucky to be able to survive.
After thinking about it carefully, Wu Dongfang also understood their psychology. People have an insatiable side. They will never be satisfied with their incoming and getting a foot forward. But people also have a contented side. When they are used to being bullying, they will be grateful if they occasionally get a little insignificant thing.
After eating and drinking, Wu Dongfang opened the door and walked out. It was still snowing outside. When he walked out of the room, he realized that it was a back-shaped layout, with houses on all sides. As soon as he went out, the doors of the two east-west and west-ear rooms were immediately opened. Two Tu tribe masters wearing purple robes stared at him vigilantly.
Wu Dongfang untied his belt and urinated beside the door, and then he raised his head and returned to the room under the glare of the two heavenly masters.
"I've found someone to clean up and have something else for lunch." Wu Dongfang said to Haoli.
Haoli agreed, wrapped his clothes tightly and walked out.
Wu Dongfang returned to the bed and lay down. Yunping once said that the environment he would go to in three days was not good, and the food was scarce, but there were women, and the place that matched these three points was probably an area where a group of slaves lived. If this was the case, the Jin clan would probably never find him, because no one could have thought that the Tu clan would put such an important person among the slaves.
Not long after, someone came to clean up the mess, and Wu Dongfang shouted at them, "Eat barbecue for lunch."
Someone agreed, and when everyone left, they climbed up and began to untidy their clothes.
"Lying down and don't move." Wu Dongfang pushed her down and pulled the quilt to cover her.
After waiting for a while, when he saw that Wu Dongfang had no movement, he reached out to pull him.
"Beat you again." Wu Dongfang looked up.
Dare to move.
Wu Dongfang was pillowing with his arms and thinking about what to do next. He could not completely pin his hope on the Jin clan. He had to find a way to escape by himself. At present, the Tu clan was watching him tightly, so he would definitely not be able to escape at this time. He had to wait for a while to escape.
When eating barbecue at noon, Wu Dongfang first asked Yaoli to eat her for a long time to send her away, and then put the roasted beef in the wine jar. He might be hungry the day after tomorrow, so he had to prepare some dry food.
That night, Baoli came again. For him, Baoli was just a errand. He asked Baoli to tell the person in charge here that he wanted a thick piece of clothes to keep warm. Although Yunping did not come, he knew everything about it and naturally would not refuse his request. The next morning, Baoli brought a thick piece of clothes over.
There were barbecue three meals a day. At this time, the clothes were mainly squid and hard, but it was just right, and it would not be suspicious after stuffing beef. After stuffing more than a dozen kilograms of beef in, Wu Dongfang opened the door and sat at the door. He wanted to use the cold wind to blow away the smell of beef to ensure that the beef was not discovered.
On the last day, Wu Dongfang kept sleeping, and at night, Haoli came again.
"What's wrong?" Wu Dongfang asked in confusion, no one looked at Haoli's face, shivering, and almost unsteady.
Haoli looked straight at Wu Dongfang, and after a few seconds he knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Dongfang repeatedly, "Please save me, save me."
Wu Dongfang walked over quickly and helped Shaoli up, "What's wrong?"
"If you don't touch me tonight, the Tianshi will kill me." Haoli was so trembling.
"Do you know who I am?" Wu Dongfang helped scoop li to the seat.
Shaoliu was still shocked and shook his head in a daze.
"I am their prisoner, they caught here, I can't save you." Wu Dongfang shook his head and said.
"As long as you let me serve you, I will survive." Bali's eyes were filled with humble begging.
Wu Dongfang didn't say anything. He didn't expect Yun Ping and others to come to him like this. At this time, he was thinking about why the other party did this, and what different consequences would be if he touched this female slave or not touched her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Haoli knelt down again, cried and begged, and burst into tears.
Wu Dongfang did not move. The other party was a respected celestial master, not a rogue gangster. They did this, not just teasing, and there must be a deeper reason behind it.
"Have you served as a wizard?" Wu Dongfang asked.
Haoli was stunned at first, stopped crying and shook his head.
Wu Dongfang understood that the wizards were clergy at this time, so they would not touch women like Sauli, at least they would not touch them openly, because they had to take into account their reputation. The other party's actions tonight were to ruin his reputation. As long as he touched Sauli, he would always bear the stain of moral imperfection.
Discovering the other party's sinister intentions, Wu Dongfang slowly shook his head, scooping away poorly and helplessly. He wanted to save her, but he couldn't. He couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart. If they were affectionate, there would be no right or wrong, but they would never be involved in each other's ruthlessness, otherwise they would be no different from animals. In addition, he could not help but think about the Jin clan. He is the White Tiger Heavenly Master of the Jin clan. If something happened, the Jin clan would be shamed together.
"Stop crying, I'll help you." Wu Dongfang helped him to scoop.
Haoli was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
"Pick the wine and have a drink with me." Wu Dongfang sat on the chair at the table.
Scoop Li happily over and brought a jar of wine back, poured it for Wu Dongfang, and poured it for himself.
Wu Dongfang drank it all in one sip, scooped it away and drank it dry.
Pour again, drink again, pour still, drink again.
Not long after, the jar of wine was empty. Wu Dongfang stood up, walked over and took it and snatched it.
"Why are your eyes red?" Haoli tilted his head and looked at Wu Dongfang.
"Do you want to leave here?" Wu Dongfang asked softly.
"I think, but they won't let me go." Haoli shook his head.
Chapter completed!
