Knowing that they can be free, among all the slaves, only a few are excited, but the majority of them are confused and at a loss, and they have no idea what freedom is. Some people have been slaves all their lives, starting from their ancestors, and now they suddenly hear about freedom. I couldn't get used to it for a while.
Among the slaves present, several of them saluted Murong Jingxue to express their gratitude and left in a hurry. Seeing someone leaving, Murong Jingxue did not stop them, and several people followed them one after another.
"Thank you!"
"I will remember your kindness today!"
…
Not many people left. The remaining people looked at each other not knowing what to do or where to go in the future. Their instinctive servility made them believe that the buyer Murong Jingxue was their master. Now The master said that he would give them their freedom, which in their view meant that the master no longer wanted them, which frightened many people into tears and made them all look sad.
"What's going on? Why are you still not happy if you are not free?" Murong Jingxue was very puzzled.
"Sir, we can do anything. We can serve you food and water as long as you ask us to do it! Please don't dislike us!"
"Sir, please don't abandon us! We are really obedient!"
…
Facing the slaves' pleading, Murong Jingxue was stunned. She couldn't understand why these people were willing to be slaves rather than free, and were so willing to be enslaved.
"this……"
Seeing that Murong Jingxue was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do, Ye Hong, who saw Murong Jingxue's confusion, quickly stood up and offered advice to Murong Jingxue.
"They are all weak women and children. Even if we let them go free, it will be difficult for them to survive in such a chaotic Western Region. If you want to help them, help them to the end, and then help them find a place to settle down! Otherwise, they will have no place to go. .”
Although Ye Hong himself couldn't understand what these people were thinking, he could roughly deduce it, so he put forward this opinion.
"Yeah... that's right!" Murong Jingxue said after thinking deeply.
"I think you have misunderstood. I am giving you your freedom, not abandoning you. You should all have your own life instead of being enslaved by others. I know that you may not be able to change your mind for a while now, and you need time to adapt to this matter. .Now that you have nowhere to go, I can find a place for you first, and then you can slowly make plans."
After explaining to all the slaves who were unwilling to leave now, Murong Jingxue and Ye Hong led them to find a suitable place to stay in the city.
The two of them were walking in the city with hundreds of slaves, many of whom were petite snake girls. Naturally, they attracted a lot of coveted and greedy eyes. Although there was no overt action in the process, there were already many people underneath. People made calculations in their minds.
Ye Hong, who had been observing the surrounding situation carefully and vigilantly, also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and said to Murong Jingxue in private:
"We made so much noise, I think we may have become prey in the eyes of some people. Be careful. If they dare to attack suddenly, try to protect yourself and don't leave me too far."
"Huh! It's not necessarily clear who is the prey! If you dare to bully me, I'll beat them all over the ground!" Murong Jingxue didn't think that she couldn't deal with this bunch of rabble, and she didn't want to let go of those around her who were ready to make a move. In the eyes.
Murong Jingxue was so powerful that there was nothing he could do to persuade her. Although Murong Jingxue was arrogant, she was also very charming. Sometimes being strong was not necessarily a bad thing, and Ye Hong understood that.
"I'm going to tell you how you plan to place these people. They won't be able to survive in the Western Region if they don't have the strength to restrain themselves. Is it possible that you want to bring them back to the Central Region?"
When asked by Ye Hong, Murong Jingxue couldn't help but stick out her tongue in embarrassment, "Well... I haven't thought about this so much."
Hearing Murong Jingxue's answer, Ye Hong couldn't help but raise his forehead. It turned out that this silly girl only thought about rescuing these people, and did not consider the consequences at all and how to deal with these people.
In fact, this is no wonder Murong Jingxue. Even Ye Hong himself did not expect this. After all, he has never come into contact with slaves in his life experience. This is the first time he knows that there are slaves in Apocalypse Continent that should not exist. class.
The two found a larger house in Gengjin City, spent some crystal stones to buy it, and placed all the hundreds of slaves in it.
Not to mention anything else, Gengjin City has a very beautifully built house. It is worthy of being a city with a large number of blacksmiths. A lot of forging materials were used in the construction of the house, making the house stronger. You get what you pay for, and of course the price is ridiculously expensive. It cost several times more crystals than buying a house in the Central Region. This purchase made Ye Hong feel heartbroken.
After a busy half day, the time was getting late, and it was obviously a bit late to go to the Weapon Refining Sect, so the two planned to visit the Weapon Refining Sect early the next morning, and spent the night together in the house they purchased.
After gathering everyone in the courtyard, Ye Hong threw two large bundles out of his storage bag and said to the crowd:
"If you have nothing to do, just go back and tidy up. You can choose your own room. All the clothes you need to change are here. You can take them and divide them among yourself. Come to the courtyard to pick up dinner later. I will cook a meal for you. It will be a blessing for you."
Having been kept in a cage, many of them were dirty. When they saw that they had new clothes to change into and could take a bath, the slaves who were bought back in the courtyard were very happy. After choosing a set of clothes, They all went to clean themselves up. They were all women. Who didn't like to be clean? Of course, those younger children who didn't like new clothes when they saw them all ran to change into new clothes happily.
Seeing everyone dispersed, Murong Jingxue stared at Ye Hong and said something.
"I didn't expect you to be quite attentive. You must be so happy with so many Yingying Yanyans!"
"Ah? Where are you thinking! Isn't this just to help you arrange them well? You bought all the clothes and have nothing to do with me."
"That's not what you reminded me of. What do you think we should do with them in the future? How about bringing them back to the Central Territory to join the Light God Religion as peripheral members?"
Murong Jingxue looked at Ye Hong, as if asking for Ye Hong's opinion. At this moment, Murong Jingxue somewhat respected Ye Hong and put Ye Hong's opinion first.
"I think it's feasible, so I'll do as you say, but can you make the final decision on letting them join the Light Cult?"
"What do you think?"
Seeing Murong Jingxue's sly smile, Ye Hong realized that Murong Jingxue was a saint of the Guangming Cult and it was not easy to arrange for several people to enter the Guangming Cult. How could he have forgotten this?
A bonfire was lit in the courtyard, and Ye Hong once again resumed his cooking skills that he had not shown for a long time. He had not cooked for so many people for a long time since he left the Shadow Building in Fenglei Continent.
Ye Hong was also very good at cooking dinner for hundreds of people. A huge monster was grilled whole. With Murong Jingxue helping him, Ye Hong felt a lot more relaxed. The two of them were busy working together. The appearance of the couple. Perhaps it was because they had been together for a long time, but not only did the two of them have a tacit understanding when it came to performing martial arts, but they also had a tacit understanding when it came to cooking.
Soon, the whole courtyard was filled with the fragrant smell of barbecue. Everyone who smelled the smell of meat came to the courtyard. The children were all salivating with greed, staring at the barbecue on the bonfire with their big eyes. .
Perhaps they had been imprisoned for too long and were all very hungry. They kept swallowing their saliva while looking at the barbecue, but even so, no one stepped forward to snatch the food, and only watched from a distance.
Seeing everyone's greedy looks, Ye Hong said with a smile: "Don't just look at it, come here! It's all for you! Do it yourself, I won't help you share it."
Everyone looked at each other, some of them couldn't believe what Ye Hong said. After all, they were not qualified to get this kind of delicious food. As slaves, they were lucky to be alive. This kind of thing was something they couldn't even think about, and they had some scruples in their hearts. Was Ye Hong testing them to see if they would be beaten if they stepped forward to get food?
On the other hand, the children didn't have too many worries. After Ye Hong said they could come forward to get the food, they all rushed up to tear up the barbecue and ate it happily.
Seeing that someone went up to get the food without being beaten or scolded, and the food was delicious, those who were still hesitant to come forward suddenly swarmed up, surrounded the entire monster barbecue, and grabbed the food one by one. .
"It's not enough. Eat slowly and don't swallow it!"
Seeing the hungry people sharing the barbecue, Ye Hong felt complicated and felt very sad for a moment.
Murong Jingxue, who was on the side, saw this situation and suddenly said with emotion: "It would be great if everyone in the world could have enough food and clothing, and there would be no oppression and slavery."
"What you said is very similar to what a person I know said. They both want equality in the world." Ye Hong responded to Murong Jingxue.
Murong Jingxue looked up at Ye Hong and said with a faint smile, "Really? I didn't expect that there are people in the world who have the same idea as me and would have the opportunity to introduce me to him."
"There will be a chance." Ye Hong responded with the same smile, with a complicated expression on what he was thinking.
Looking at Murong Jingxue's clear eyes, she finally swallowed back the words she wanted to say. It happened that a snake girl came to the two of them at this time, and the two of them also turned their attention to the snake girl.
"Two...two masters...here..." The snake girl timidly handed over the roast meat on the tray in her hand, her body trembling slightly and she looked a little scared.
Ye Hong took the tray and smiled back at the snake girl.
"Thanks!"
The snake-man girl was flattered. Ye Hong's insignificant thank you was like a great gift to the snake-man girl. As a slave, no one had ever been so polite to her. Ye Hong's amiable image was already in the snake-man girl's heart. become different.
At this time, Ye Hong took one of the two pieces of leg meat from the tray and handed it to the snake girl, and said with a kind expression:
"You haven't eaten it yet! This is for you. What's your name?"
"Thank...Thank you, Master! I...I don't have a...name." The snake girl carefully took the roast meat handed over by Ye Hong, still a little uneasy in her heart, and replied with a trembling voice.
Hearing the snake girl say that she had no name, Ye Hong showed a hint of surprise, and then what the snake girl said suddenly became clear.
"I... we, the Snake Tribe, are slaves, and our names are given by our masters. We do not have the right to name ourselves. Not only do I have no name, but my fellow tribesmen also don't have names yet."
The words of the snake girl made Ye Hong feel sad for the snake people. The tragic fate of this race must not have been expected by their ancestors. If the ancestor of their race knew about it, the coffin would be overturned.
