Why was there a little girl in his residence assigned?
Lin Ming looked at this 10 or 11 year old little girl. He was wearing long pants and his sleeves were raised. There was a patch on his pants, and he carried a thick wooden basin in his hand. The bangs covering her forehead were still dripping with drops of clear water, and her petite face had a small nose that curved upwards. Her lips were round and her cheeks were flushed; she was like a wet apple with morning dew. Fresh, simple, and natural air glides from it.
When the little girl saw Lin Ming, she was also shocked. But, after a while, he seemed to understand what was going on. "Are you Lord 9566?"
"Master?" Lin Ming shook his head, "I'm not the master. Do you live here too? ”
"mm! My name is Qing He and I live here with my grandmother. In the future, my grandmother will also take care of Milord's daily needs. ”
As the little girl spoke, the curtain of the tent was pulled to the side. A 60-plus-year-old woman appeared at the entrance of the tent. He had white head hair, and his face was carved with exertion for many years. His eyes were slightly rusty but showed a hint of respect.
“My lord, dinner is almost ready. My lord, please enjoy yourself. ”
The old woman and her grandson, Qing He, were both slaves. But even within slaves, there was still a huge difference in status between them. To them, Lin Ming was a martial artist, thus someone called 'Master'.
In the Giant Demon Tribe, the martial artists who were at the Pulse Condensation period or above were the main producers; collecting Blood Demon Crystals depended on these people. To ensure that they can use more energy for mining, they have special people to take care of their daily lives.
This combo of grandmothers and grandchildren was the servant that Lin Ming had assigned.
The tent was almost completely empty. It could be described as being really poor. In the middle of the tent was a short table. On the table were vegetables, pickled vegetables, and a small plate of cured meat. There is also a sweet rice bowl.
It was not considered a fancy dinner, but there was a very pleasant and rich smell. For the past few days, Lin Ming had been stuck in the meadow, eating dry rations day after day until he felt like his lips were numb. Looking at the dinner on the table, he picked up the chopsticks and took out a piece of cured pork, biting it and devouring this delicious scent.
"It tastes good!"
Lin Ming praised. As a martial artist, his meal was much larger than a normal person. He quickly cleaned all the vegetables on the table.
After quickly eating, Lin Ming inadvertently looked up, only to see Qing He standing at the corner of the tent, quietly pursing his lips as he stared at the cured flesh under his chopsticks.
As Qing He saw Lin Ming looking at him, he immediately panicked and asked with a hint of fear, "Does Milord want to drink water?"
"I'm not thirsty . Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. We ate first. "The old granny walked beside Qing He, quickly hinting at him to pour Lin Ming a cup of water.
Lin Ming seemed to have discovered something. He put down the chopsticks and walked around the tent. This tent was very small, it only took a few steps for him to see through everything. There is not much furniture in it. On the stove was a pot, and behind it was a rice tank. He took it, feeling the lightness of it.
He turned around and lifted the pot cover. Inside, there was a small amount of rice porridge. Inside the porridge, there were some vegetables. Almost all the grains of rice have been eaten. It seems to be his grandmother and grandson's dinner.
Seeing this, Lin Ming had no idea what kind of feeling was swelling in his heart. These grandmothers and granddaughters were both human and slaves. In this Giant Demon Tribe, it was hard to imagine how difficult their lives would be.
As for today's food, he had eaten a lot of their rations, especially the cured meat slabs .. As he recalled the gleam in Qing He's eyes, Lin Ming felt a little guilty.
In this Giant Demon Tribe, a mortal slave had no status. They are really no different from farm animals. If they were lucky enough to be possessed by a bad master, then their fate would be miserable.
"Is this what you usually eat?" Lin Ming put the lid of the pot back.
"Mm.." Qing He nodded silently, his eyes red.
"And the cattle and the sheep in the backyard?" Lin Ming pointed outside the tent. Behind, there were a number of cows and sheep tied up.
“It is the main family cattle and sheep. If we let them out every day, we can exchange rice. ”
Lin Ming sighed. He took out a true essence stone from his spatial ring and placed it on the table, "Qing He. Tomorrow, go and buy fish, ducks, and chickens. And buy rice too. ”
"This .. can't be used. "Qing He whispered. “Here, only blood crystals can be used to buy goods. Other things cannot be used. Not only that, but we are slaves. If we take a blood crystal to go out and buy something, then we can be robbed … "
Bloodstone was a currency created from low quality Blood Demon Crystals. 10,000 blood stones was equal to one Blood Demon Crystal. The Giant Demon Tribe had no rules protecting slaves. If a slave wanted to have their blood stones stolen while they went shopping, it was their bad luck. They can even be killed. As long as their master was compensated, then anything was possible.
Lin Ming felt uneasy in his heart. He put away all the true essence stones and said, “You just rest. I'll cultivate … "
"Mm …"
The tent is very small. His grandmother and granddaughter left the main tent and squeezed themselves into a small tent nearby, leaving Lin Ming alone. Lin Ming sat on the bed and took out some pills, swallowing them. He began to refine his meridians bit by bit, directing his true essence to help accelerate his marrow regeneration. If he continued for four or five days, he would be able to recover completely.
In order to recover from his injuries, Lin Ming had not slept all night.
Early in the morning, right after dawn, Lin Ming heard the sound of pots and pans colliding from a nearby tent. Before long, Qing He opened the curtains. She appeared on her tiny head and said, “My master, your food is ready. ”
Breakfast was very simple. There was a plate of pickled vegetables and half a pot of porridge. Since he had arrived, the porridge was thicker today than yesterday. This was probably the reason why Qing He ate with such vigor. He cleaned his bowl, and even licked the bottom.
"I'm full. '' Qing He said. He washed his dishes and went to the back, pulling cattle and sheep. “I'll graze animals. ”
"Be careful . ”Grandmother urged when she started picking up dishes.
Seeing this, Lin Ming said nothing as he finished his porridge. A 10 or 11 year old girl with an undeveloped body only had a bowl of porridge to eat. Not only that, but he also had to go and herd sheep. This is the life of an ordinary man. . .
The truth was, there was also some crab meat in the spatial ring that came from the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm. It's just that crab meat requires too high a cooking temperature to cook, and its energy is too rich that humans can't eat it. Today, he was ready to exchange some true essence stones for blood stones in order to improve the lives of his grandmother and granddaughter.
But at this moment, the back gate opened, and a ten-foot-tall Giant Demon appeared behind. As Qing He looked at these two Giant Demons, his little face paled and he retreated a few steps. His little fist involuntarily gathered in his chest. Clearly, he was extremely afraid of these two Giant Demons.
"Third wife Lord Mo Da has given birth to a son. You don't have to help cattle and sheep graze. We'll take it. "The Giant Demon in front said blankly. Since Mo Da's third wife had given birth to a son, there would be a big feast in three days. These animals must be slaughtered.
After he finished speaking, the other Giant Demons went to gather the animals. There were two cows and five sheep.
"This ..." The grandmother felt a hint of foreboding in her heart. If he could graze these sheep and cows for another half a month, he would be able to obtain a bag of rice. If they were taken, would he still be able to get rice? "Two gentlemen, this cow and sheep …"
The Giant Demon that gathered beasts was unwilling to respond to him. But then, he suddenly looked up and saw Lin Ming. 'mm? Are there martial artists here? "
Ordinary human slaves were poor and had few goods. But, a martial artist was different. This kind of slave usually had a lot of items that could be taken.
"mm? Two sheep are missing? ”Satan Giant suddenly said.
Grandma's face turned pale. "My lord, how is that possible. We've taken five sheep at first, how could anyone be missing … "
"Cut the crap! If I say there are two missing then there are two missing! ”When the Demon Giant spoke, he angrily pushed grandma. This Giant Demon was extremely powerful. If he pushed this granny, then it was likely that he would break some bones.
However, the Demon Giant's arm only reached half before he was stopped by someone else's hand. Lin Ming had quietly appeared at the old grandmother's side.
"Son, you're brave enough!" The Giant Demon was angry and wanted to move his hand. But, no matter how he tried to move it, it felt like his hand was stuck in space; it was impossible to move.
"Cut the crap. How many two sheep, I will compensate you! "Lin Ming's mind was bright like a mirror. He was well aware of what this Demon Giant was aiming for. He doesn't have to joke with them. He will remember everything that happened here today. Then, he would completely clear all their debts.
"Take out ten blood stones!" The Giant Demon extended its hand.
"You ..." Qing He's eyes were red with anger, and his hot tears almost spilled. "Ten blood stones is enough to buy five cows!"
The Giant Demon only sneered; he did not care at all about Qing He's words.
“I don't have a sandstone. I only have true essence stones. ”
"Heh, 100 true essence stones is one blood stone!" True essence stones were of little help to the Giant Demon. Thus, the exchange rate is very low.
“I'll give you 100 true essence stones, so leave two sheep. This is my bottom line! '' As Lin Ming spoke, he grabbed onto the Devil Giant's arm. As he suddenly pressed his fingers, a thick wave of killing intent covered the Giant Demon.
The Giant Demon let out a cold sweat from the pain. Lin Ming's hands were like a pair of iron pliers. After all, this Demon Giant was only a Demon Warrior. As soon as Lin Ming pressed him down, he felt a little scared. He took out a true essence stone, left two sheep, and hurriedly left …
……….
During the day, the grandmother was cooking a feast of mutton soup and lamb soup. Little Qing He's face flushed red, and he smiled happily.
"Sister, this is for you to eat. ”
As Little Qing He ate, he would constantly put meat in front of Lin Ming. Every time he would wait for Lin Ming to eat it and then ask, "Is this delicious?"
“Enak. '' Lin Ming would honestly say. He can't hold his breath. With meat to eat and clothes, it was enough for ordinary humans to be happy.
After Lin Ming ate, he sat in meditation to recover from his injuries. He had to recover himself as quickly as possible, so he could not spend time trying to understand the Laws of Space and Time.
Like this, the days slowly passed. The Silent Green Tribe had still not organized anyone to go and mine the Blood Demon Crystal ore. And on this day, Lin Ming's wounds and meridians finally healed.
Within the re-connected meridians, true essence flowed happily. The thick vortex of true essence condensed within his dantian, was extremely eye-catching. In his bones, his marrow was like a thick and shining golden soup …
Lin Ming clutched his fists together. “When to collect my debts. But before that, I must first absorb the Light of the Desenchanting Dream. ”
