C17 Slave(2)

"Enter!" A despicable roar sounded out in the dungeon. Everyone could hear it, but no one was willing to open their eyes because they could hear it. It was just that a new slave had arrived, a new companion for himself. They turned over and continued to sleep. They slept very soundly, as if this piece of land with water on it was their warmest bed.

Chuyi, however, looked back with her eyes wide open. Wa Jia had woken up because of Chuyi's actions. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the woman who was pushed in by the door before turning around and waving to Chuyi. "Stop looking. Go to sleep. New slaves will be delivered every day!"

But Chuyi could barely hear what she was saying. Suddenly, she pushed herself up against the wall and walked over to the new slave at the door.

Chuyi looked at the haggard man in front of her. Her heart was filled with guilt, but it couldn't make up for the harm she had done to her. She raised her hand and gently caressed Mei Luo's face. "I'm sorry …"

Mei Luo was thrown into the dungeon by Yelv deguang, so she had to work hard from then on. She did not complain. After all, she had done the wrong thing. However, she did not regret it. She did not regret doing such a good thing. Seeing the guilty Chuyi, Mei Luo smiled and pulled Chuyi to sit by the wall. "It's fine, you don't have to do this."

"You know each other?" Wa Jia curiously looked at the two of them holding hands.

"Yeah, we know each other!" Chuyi smiled as she glanced at Wa Jia. "Wa Jia, go to sleep!"

"Oh!" Wa Jia turned around and lay down on the cold ground. Slowly, she fell asleep.

Chuyi turned her head to look at Mei Luo, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to help me like this. Not only were you whipped twice, you were even beaten into this place by them in the end …"

"I'm fine!" Mei Luo smiled faintly, "Being Palace Maid's slave is the same as being a slave, we have to work!"

"But when it comes to being a slave, she's at least much better than a slave …" Chuyi looked at Mei Luo with a forced smile.

"Alright, say it again, I really hate you!" Mei Luo pursed her lips. The harsh Central Plains words sounded quite different.

Chuyi looked into Mei Luo's kind eyes and was extremely moved. "Will they kill you?"

"No way!" Mei Luo smiled, "Since you made us into slaves, then we will have to fend for ourselves. Besides being beaten to death by the guards, the rest should be dead due to starvation or exhaustion. "No one will intentionally kill anyone. The only thing left to do is to be abused to death …"

Chuyi shivered. "Aren't you afraid?"

"Are you afraid?" Mei Luo smiled.

Chuyi smiled and shook her head, holding Mei Luo's hand tightly. Her hand was somewhat callused, but it was very warm. The two skinny girls leaned on each other and stared out the window into the night. Slowly, something called friendship began to take root.

Before the sky brightened, the door to the cell was already opened. A few stout men walked in, picked up the editor and swung him down. The unfortunate ones were awoken by the whip, but didn't dare to cry out in pain as they hurriedly stood up. At this moment, everyone got up and followed the sturdy men out.

Wa Jia ran to Chuyi and Mei Luo, holding their hands and said, "Come on, let's go to work together!"

The two girls looked at each other and smiled. Then, they stood up and walked towards the door while supporting each other. Suddenly, a whip lashed out, breaking the three of them apart.

A muscular man glared at them fiercely and said, "Walk one by one. Whoever is sick or weak, go outside and die!"

The three girls left the dungeon with furrowed brows and lowered their heads. When they breathed in the fresh air outside, Chuyi breathed in deeply. It was just one night, yet it felt like decades had passed. The damp dungeon was so tormenting.

"If you feel that you can't take it, you can just listen to me!" Chuyi was startled and turned around to look. She saw the man, who had almost raped her yesterday, looking at her with a disgusting smile. She shivered and quickly followed Mei Luo and the others.

Chuyi followed them for a long time without any shoes on her feet. The sand and stones on the ground had tormented Chuyi's white and tender feet into a bloody mess, but she persisted, afraid that she would be able to turn around and see the disgusting man's face. The slaves behind her also saw the condition of her feet, but no one dared to question her. Everyone had gotten used to it, let alone a person whose feet had been ruined like this, this was far too common.

Chuyi gritted her teeth as she followed the people in front of her. Mei Luo, who had been leading the way, finally realized that something was wrong with Chuyi. She lowered her head and saw that Chuyi had cried out with blood dripping from her mouth.

"I'm fine!" Chuyi smiled strongly.

"Hurry up!" The whip sounded beside them as it swept past Chuyi and Mei Luo. The two of them flinched for a moment before Mei Luo pulled Chuyi and walked forward quickly. Although Mei Luo was walking briskly, she had already done her best to help Chuyi find a level ground. Seeing the way Chuyi was standing, Mei Luo almost cried. It was too scary, even Chuyi did not cry.

"If it hurts, just cry. Don't hold it in!" Mei Luo said in heartache as she supported Chuyi.

"What's the use of crying? It can't stop the pain, it can't stop the pain! " Chuyi gritted her teeth and forced a smile.

Wa Jia ran over and lowered her head to look at Chuyi's feet. She said helplessly, "What should we do now?"

"What's wrong?" Chuyi looked at the kid who liked to pretend to be an adult and smiled at her.

"The place where we work is made of crushed stones. If you step on it, it will hurt!" Wa Jia frowned as she mumbled to herself, "Even if it's slaves, they should wear them on their shoes. Otherwise, how are they supposed to work?"

Chuyi smiled disapprovingly. "Wa Jia, it's alright. Don't worry!" But she wasn't worried. She was afraid of pain, but only she knew.
