Chapter 358 A Different Journey

Ge Gai has always felt guilty towards his fellow countrymen. He has always believed that the reason why they left their hometowns, became slaves, and suffered all kinds of cruel fates was because he told himself to be patient every time, but he never endured to the end.

His figure is not particularly tall, and he doesn't have the strength to crush stones, but his eyes and ears are very good, his nose is also very good, his hands and feet can be as light as leaves falling in the breeze, and he has never seen a more beautiful person than him in the past. dexterous people.Someone said a long time ago that he should be a hunter rather than a farmer, and the person who spoke later died in winter, and his sister died in childbirth with the sins of some monk, and he was not even allowed to bury them—— Not a single piece of land is theirs.

On the night they heard that they were going to be sold to a foreign country, no one knew that he broke into the monastery wall.

Later, he did the same thing again. If there were no people from Baichuan, he might do it again, even though he knew that he would die this time, and there would be no luck.Anyway, they are going to enter the Colosseum, not as gladiators, but as food to reward beasts, so why not let yourself die faster and be happier?It's just that he never thought that he would attack his companion, that person did not commit any damnable mistakes, and not long ago, he was still casting the most vicious curse on all the so-called "masters" in his heart .

The shadow of the land is looming on the skyline, and the strong light passes through the window, illuminating the room brightly. Ge Gai is behind the table, looking at his fingers and saying: "I smell him, he will commit crimes Man, he is lazy, scoundrel, let others stand in front of him, is a slave, he can only do these things. If he is not a slave in another place, if he is surrounded by people like old people, women and children, he Will do evil things. He was born that way."

"You are not their leader," said the woman opposite, "do you know what kind of people they are?"

"I watch them." Ge Gai said, "I always watch them."

"Why?" the woman asked.

"They are dead, but I can remember what they were alive," Ge Gai said.

The woman lowered her eyes and looked at the things she placed on the smooth table, "Why do you have to kill him yourself?"

Ge Gai was quiet for a moment before saying: "For my fellow countrymen. He will not change, he will make mistakes, and then you will say 'Look, slaves are such things!', but other people are good people. Wouldn't want to kill people. They're not me, I'm a sinner."

He waited for the woman's next question, and she whispered to the two of them before turning to him, "Garge Santis, hold your head up."

He slowly raised his head, and saw the woman in front of him took off her honey-colored curly hair, revealing the smooth short black hair underneath, then she lowered her head and wiped her eyes, and she threw two pieces of soft and moist things into the water glass beside her, so Ge Gai saw her real pupil color, he opened his mouth and widened his eyes.In almost all monotheistic countries and regions, their priests will tell their believers about the evil deeds committed by the black-haired and black-eyed eternal sinners and the punishments they received, in order to illustrate how bright and correct religion is, Although there are still many ungodly people in this world, so that those demons have never disappeared. They lurk in every dark corner, vicious, inhuman, and always ready to kill good people... Therefore, Shiwu tax is only for life protection A trifling compensation from the priest of the people.

Now in front of Ge Gai, on this white boat, there is a survivor!

The bereaved woman stood up and cleaned up the things on the table with her companion. It took Ge Gai a while to hear her say: "...you can go back."

"...Huh?" Ge Gai made a dull voice.

"Go back to your cabin, pack your things, and wait for us to take you off the boat." She said, her male companion had already opened the door, and turned to look at Ge Gai.

He was escorted back to the cabin in a dazed state, not even realizing that there were no roommates in there, except that his brother was sitting on his bunk waiting for him to come back.The door closed, and he sat down next to his brother, staring straight ahead, and waited until he was slapped on the cheek worriedly, before he said, "...how could it be?"

However, the young woman is not the only survivor who should not appear but actually exists. There are at least five survivors on this boat. Seeing their true faces, other people on board screamed in shock, and some backed away unconsciously. There were those who made demon-killing gestures, but the children who followed them and surrounded them showed no fear on their faces. Not only were they not afraid, but they looked up at them with fiery eyes.

The women who had become acquainted with the children during the journey asked in whispers, "Why aren't you afraid?"

"We already knew that," said the children.

"But they are demons and sinners!"

"Aren't we all sinners?" the child asked back with the scriptures, and the women froze. The child who claimed to be from a merchant family stood in the sun with his arms outstretched, the wind blowing his sleeves, his eyes Shining in the sun, "What about the sinners? Look at this boat! How powerful they are! I'll be like them, too!"

The woman who spoke flinched, but the little devil in front of her didn't let her go, "You don't want to be the devil's servant, you can go back—"

No one dared to say that they wanted to go back, not even a single person who dared to say that everyone in the white boat was blasphemous, not because there was someone who was thrown into the sea with no bones left - not many people even knew about it, the person who did it It’s really fast and natural. In the teachings, fighting the devil has never been a woman’s business. The slaves don’t count. For women, if you think about it carefully, faith is actually what the king and priests say everyone must have Things, most of them are so filthy that they are not allowed to step into any holy places, and at most they can say a few prayers. To say that they can get benefits from Xinyang, they probably go to the street during Baisheng Festival and ride in floats. Pick up the wheat cakes thrown by the nobles in the passing soil, and then do some business with men from other lands... Now the people of Baichuan have bought them, no matter whether they are foreigners or demons, they are their masters, And, they look so powerful and rich—

It was a bright evening when HNA No. [-] arrived in Hong Kong. The sky was covered with dazzling fire clouds. At the junction of the sky and the sea, the setting sun was melting, and the endless stream of fire poured down, dyeing the ocean into an endless, layered golden carpet. , the tumbling wave tip is shining, only the layered lace rolled up to the shore is white, and the long bay line has an inconspicuous arc, embracing this long-distance wanderer like an arm.The port area is flat and open. Straight roads with shining silver textures run through the fields and lead to distant residential areas. Looking from the scale-like roofs of small towns without walls, a mountain range surrounded by pink evening clouds sits on the horizon.

The returning crowd had already been waiting on the shore, and as soon as the ship entered the port, they gave out bursts of cheers, and at the same time there were bursts of whistles rising into the sky, and bright fireworks bloomed one after another in the golden air.As soon as the gangway was stabilized, young crew members rushed down and rushed into the crowd, clapping and hugging with their relatives and friends. Amidst their laughter and laughter, the more than 300 passengers who traveled together this time took their few items that were close to nothing. Appearing on the first deck, they looked at the welcoming battle with surprise and suspicion. Every time the fireworks exploded, they flinched and piled up near the gangway, not daring to move on until the crew behind continued to urge them. Only then did he step down the long ladder with vain footsteps, and hesitantly and awkwardly set foot on this completely strange land.Not daring to look directly at the crowd in front of them, their eyes moved from the rock-solid gray ground to the left and right, and then fell to their feet again.

Even those children who thought they could become soldiers were afraid to speak. Only the babies were still making noises, and the noise gradually subsided. The residents of this land looked at them with strange eyes.

Another group of crew members disembarked, and two male slaves were sandwiched between them very unnaturally. The captain passed by the passengers, hugged a woman in the front crowd for a while, held her hand and said to others After talking for a while, I turned around and came back. Together with other crew members, I divided the huddled crowd into groups of three or five people. Every time they were divided, one of the residents of this land would come and lead them aside.

"Come with me. Wait here."

The small transport train drove over, and the passengers in the irregular long line had a slight commotion because of the oncoming steel creature, and were calmed down by their guides, and then they boarded the traffic with fear Tool, along the track all the way through the port area and fields, driving to the residential area.In the unobstructed view, the excitement of taking the train for the first time is gradually replaced by other feelings. They are passing through the fields, but behind them, in the places that can be seen by the left and right eyes, in those places that seem to have been carefully stretched What is growing densely on the land?How can there be crops that grow so flat and dense, with deep green leaves covering almost all the gaps in the branches, and what kind of crops are those, that can grow so strong and thick, and bear so many fruits?Where is the land that looks so fertile, where are the farmers and slaves who serve these crops?The plains are vast, yet so sparsely populated...

The wide canal is sparkling, reflecting the figures of thin and small saplings. Ge Gai’s eyes are greedily watching all of this, and at the same time, he almost uses all his strength to restrain himself from trembling. It’s not because of fear, but—oh my god, this Yes, this is, this is—in the distant past, on those nights when there was still freedom, the elders touched the shrine and described to them the promised land prepared by the gods for the blessed. Is this the scene?His brother stood beside him blankly, his eyes also looked like he was dreaming, his chest was bulging, his breathing was short of breath, and then he collapsed down in frustration, looking at Ge Gai in pain.

It was the best land they had ever seen, and it would have nothing to do with them any more.

This kind of pain cannot be solved, and no one cares about it. The people who escorted them talked and laughed in unfamiliar languages.

Across the fields, the new residential area is in sight, and the road is also marked by people.People who have just arrived in this area don't know what to call this place, if it is a city, it has no walls, if it is a village, but what village has such wide and smooth roads, and the steel that runs on such roads? Creation?Such a big place with so many buildings?The houses on both sides of the main road are as neat as a knife cut. Some houses only have three walls on the first floor, and the square pillars embraced by two people support the second floor and the third floor with pointed sloping eaves. Some houses have a door open in the middle. , many tall windows are lined up on both sides, and the view of the rooms behind the windows is flashed in the eyes of passengers, except that the structure shows that they may have different uses, these houses are the same length, the same width, the same white walls and black roofs, And brand new.

Women and children who have no experience know that they are new, which may be more... scary than coming to a royal city in another country.They seem to have come to another world on that extraordinary white ship...

Their vehicle stopped in front of a house with more windows and taller, and the passers-by took the passengers out of the car and walked in. This is a place also called a cafeteria, where the passengers may have the best meal in their lives. After a sumptuous dinner, they were led to the "dormitory" by the guide, and lived in a room similar to the cabin, but more spacious and comfortable.

In the early morning of the next day, they were accustomed to waiting in the room for someone to call them away. The person who opened the door for them took them into another house this time. They first entered a room with many curtains one by one. The man in white checked his facial features, skin, joints of hands and feet, nails, etc., and then all the people who looked and thought they were adults went to another big room and were asked by others: "What's your name?" ?” “Do you know your age?” “What did you do for a living before you got on the boat?” “There are several kinds of jobs, farmers, weaving, carpentry, building houses, which one would you like to do?”… After all the questions are over, Those people gave them a small piece of bronze with a red string, and the children got a white string, and those under the age of ten didn't have to wear anything.Wearing this badge, even if they have joined the residential area, they can be assigned a residence and get paid for their work. Although it takes time and effort to become a resident here, it is far beyond imagination.No one dared to imagine this.

The slaves also received these brands, no different from anyone else.

Ge Gai looked down at the bronze medal in his hand, and then at the bereaved woman in front of him.

"You are not like them. Before disembarking, you and the drowned man were not our residents, but the ship is our territory. After you got on the ship, you killed people on our territory, but before that, we Didn't tell you about our laws. It's our fault." She said to them, "You will not be punished except that your first job must be to the mines. After three months, you will have to go back to the mines. Come here."

Neither Ge Gai nor his brother knew what to say.

"I'll take you there today." She added, "Before I go, I want to ask one thing, do you want to keep that?"

She raised her hand and drew a circle around her cheek with her fingers, corresponding to the terrible brand marks on the faces of the two men opposite her.

The journey of the nobleman Herman da Silos Ibensa is slightly different from that of the slave Ge Gai and the slum girl Shara. After all, his traveling companions are more than two thousand people. Compared with the difficulty of managing 300 people, most of whom are women and children, compared with 2000 people who have almost everything, the gap is about as big as the cliffs and sea outside the capital.It was precisely because Heman had a little knowledge of this that Heman was shocked by the astonishing talents shown by these "people of the white ship": they were not soldiers, let alone believers, or even ordinary retainers.After sailing for less than seven days, the dirty stench that seems to permeate the cabin all the time has faded away. When the wind from the vent is strong enough, the air in the aisle is even fresher than Wangdu Avenue.The fights and other noises from different cabins gradually became rarer, probably because those guys who were picked out for making too much noise, and then hung upside down from the side of the ship to the window taught them the correct way to obey.The order of daily meals has also improved a lot. Although most people still eat like hungry ghosts, few people dare to swarm in front of the meal window, beat the window sill and yell.

Before the accident, although Herman discovered that each group of cabins that came to the canteen with them were different, he didn't quite understand the reason until that day came——

The people of Baichuan gathered certain people together through continuous permutation and combination.When those people also discovered this matter and fought hard for it, the people of the white boat were ready.

Herman was not among those people. He was lying on the bed at that time, meditating on the teachings he had received at home. The sudden explosion made him jump up. The chaotic shouts and dense crackling sound came down from the top deck, The attendants in the cabin rushed to the exit together with Herman, they couldn't open the cabin door, they could only press their ears against the door panel, until the sounds disappeared as abruptly as if they happened suddenly.Then the people from the White Ship came over and brought them up indifferently. As soon as Heman came out from the exit, Heman smelled the smell of blood in the wind, and knew that those people would definitely lose. After all, they were just a group of desperadoes who were fascinated by money and lies. , if they succeed, it will surprise the conspirators.He walked forward among the crowd, and saw many transparent fragments on the deck, the edges were shockingly sharp, and it seemed that some blood spots fell on them, and then the people of the White Ship pushed open the door on the side of the cafeteria, and a wave An indescribable smell suddenly gushed out, the people in front of Herman stopped, stood still for a moment, and then went limp, allowing Herman behind him to see the scene ahead.

In the piercing screams that happened almost at the same time, Herman's feet seemed to take root, and he couldn't take a step forward. He saw—he didn't think about it—it's not that he hasn't seen death, or even the scene of massacre , but—that's, what the hell is that?

Blood—blood everywhere!Not just blood, on the ground, on the walls, on the ceiling, the floor where a human face was once visible has become like a pool of blood, half floating and half submerged on the blood surface, broken limbs, broken bones, rotten internal organs, and all kinds of mutilated corpses Lying on the ground, hanging on the tables and chairs, each one—every one died horribly, even if he fell into the mouth of wolves, he couldn't be more miserable than them. On a dead body in the corner, I saw thick brains mixed with blood slowly flowing out from the jagged half of the skull, and then a piece of minced meat fell from the ceiling and hit the middle, splashing fine droplets , he felt as if the liquid splashed on his face and eyes, and finally he trembled and bent over, throwing up with all his strength——

Only a few dozens of people saw that scene. The people in the white boat repaired everything as new in just one night. The windows looked brighter than before, and the tables and chairs were not damaged at all, but the people in the white boat would almost be scared. When the madman was sent back to the cabin, the cries and gibberish of those wretches had passed through the thin door panel, telling the people who were listening behind them what had happened.Therefore, although almost everyone was unable to eat dinner, the lower deck was surprisingly quiet that night. Outside the window covered by curtains, the bright moonlight shone on the sea, and also on the dorsal fins of those predators following the night boat. At the turn of day and night, they enjoyed a big meal.

The nightmare made Herman sleepless for three whole days, and before disembarking, he would still be awakened by a cry from somewhere in the middle of the night.What frightened him more than the bloody scene was that he felt that the White Ship's people might have discovered their identity as spies.He and those people were singled out to witness the massacre, and he recognized quite a few of them. He had observed them before boarding the ship. Apart from himself, there must be others who sold themselves to the white ship with a mission.But how did the people of the white boat find out and confirm it?How long have they observed these spies?Why did they look like that when they got off the ship—extravagant, curious, polite and uncommon, turning a blind eye to many temptations... After that, how will the people of the White Boat deal with them?Will they tolerate them continuing to live?In the vast sea, this giant ship is the only shelter and a cage from which there is nowhere to escape...He thought about these questions over and over again, unable to eat, and couldn't sleep at night, until the people of the White Ship began to teach them how to land. rules.

Fear is—always—the best means of persuasion.Although the people before could not be said to be disobedient, after this incident, they were as obedient as lambs.Obedient and unbearably stupid, the people of the White Ship showed the same meticulousness and patience as before at this time, and Herman, as one of the people who can always easily learn those common sense, is often called Going forward to set an example for others, which made him feel ashamed and impatient, but also strangely produced a sense of security.

Until he disembarked, the people of the white boat did not do anything to him. Until Herman boarded the vehicle that looked like a living metal creature, and looked back from the panicked poor, the people of the white boat didn't give him any more love. eyes.

Entering a small town like a city, you are arranged to live in a dormitory, eat, sleep for a night, and then have a medical examination and questioning.Heman and nine other people entered the room together. After seeing how the first two people obtained their identity certificates, he had a plan in mind. Another person excitedly stood up from the bench and walked towards the door. Heman stroked his heartbeat. , sat down opposite the three inquirers, when they asked him questions in the common language, he answered carefully, the woman on the opposite side listened attentively, when the black pen in her hand slipped accidentally, rolled forward As it went, Herman quickly intercepted it.

"Thank you." She smiled at him.

So it was no surprise that Herman got the same identification.He is sixteen years old, so the rope for the bronze medal is red.

A day later, shovel in hand, he looked at the wilderness in disbelief.

Someone came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead, young man."
