(A Little Strange)
"We are all residents of a nearby village. One day, a wealthy businessman came to us and bought a large piece of land. He even hired us to build a manor for him at a high price.”
"It allowed us, the more remote and poor villages, to live a relatively abundant life. I thought that a kind merchant had come to the village, but who knew that he was a demon.”
" Half a year ago, Darlock started a new factory on an island and recruited workers on the pretext that he needed a lot of manpower. The salary he offered was also very good, so people of the right age from nearby villages came over.”
"But who would have thought that the demon was not a wealthy merchant, but a slave trader. He sold us to that island to mine!”
"Ah!" " Argh!" Elusha cried out in alarm. Her face turned pale and her body curled up. Ye Xin frowned. He was a village bully, but he was also a civilized village bully.
Slavery was a system that had been abolished in the last century in civilized society. It didn't seem like much in the anime, but in reality, it made him very uncomfortable. If he was uncomfortable, he had to make the person who was uncomfortable suffer.
Ye Xin grabbed Elsa's hand. He knew what Elsa had experienced after watching anime. Now that he was suddenly in a familiar environment, he must have been brought back to the time when he was a slave.
Feeling the warmth of Ye Xin's palm, Elsa calmed down a lot and looked up at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin smiled at Elsa and said,""Don't worry, I'm here."
When she saw Ye Xin's smile, she always felt that Ye Xin's smile was very annoying, giving people a feeling of superiority. Now, she felt that this smile was unusually warm, and the coldness in her heart was also dispelled.
Realizing that Ye Xin was holding her hand, Elsa's neck turned red, but it was not obvious under her red hair.
"Then you guys ran away?"
"Yes, we have carpenters here. They secretly used materials to make a small boat in the mine cave. Then, they faked the collapse of the mine cave and took the opportunity to escape.”
"Then why didn't you report it to the officials?" asked Elusha.”However, she regretted asking this question.
" We want to report it too," a woman said." But my daughter, Sasha, is working as a maid in that demon's manor. The family and children here are still in the village. If we report it, their lives will be in danger."”
"So you had no choice but to secretly run back to see if your family was safe, right?" Ye Xin said.”
"How do you know?"
"You were too careless, and the traces you left behind were too obvious. It wasn't difficult to find you. Moreover, since we received the mission, then the fact that you faked your death and escaped must have been discovered. Your roots are here, so they knew that you would definitely come back.”Ye Xin rubbed his chin.
Seeing that Ye Xin was thinking, Elusha couldn't help but ask,""What's strange about it?"
"No, it's nothing serious." Ye Xin shook his head.
When the others heard that their escape had been discovered, they were a little flustered. On the one hand, they were worried that they would be captured again, and on the other hand, they were worried about the safety of their families.
Suddenly, a person ran over in panic and shouted,"No, not good! Village Chief! There are many people surrounding us.”
"What? How could this be?"
"It's over! We're going to be captured again and become slaves!”
"How did we get discovered?”
"That's not it. They should have followed us here."”
"What? Damn it! I knew you two strangers couldn't be trusted!”
"As expected, you're in cahoots with that demon Darlock to harm us!”
"Capture the two of them as hostages!”
Everyone excitedly surrounded Ye Xin and Elsa.
"No, I can't! We are not!" Elsa waved her hand in panic and explained.
" Silence!!" The village chief stood up shakily and shouted loudly. The village chief seemed to be very dignified among these people. Soon, everyone quieted down.
"Little brother, what do you mean by that?"”
"It means what it says. I saw an eagle circling in the sky before. It might have been used to find your location. It happened to see us here, so it followed us.”Ye Xin pointed at the sky.
Sure enough, an eagle was circling in the sky.
"Old Eagle!"
Everyone was discouraged. They knew that even if Ye Xin and Elusha didn't find them, they wouldn't be able to hide for long. It was almost impossible to escape Old Eagle's sight in the forest.
After a while, many people with weapons and fierce expressions appeared. There were about 30 of them, surrounding Ye Xin, Elsa, and a dozen villagers who had escaped.
