Chapter 160 Appetizers
Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxu are too eye-catching, or Dugu Jianxiao is too eye-catching, which is not a good sign.
Although he was unwilling to do so, Dugu Jianxiao still used some means to change his appearance.
In the center of the village, a large number of people gathered in line to collect food, just like a livestock farm. The food and clothing for livestock raised is a main problem solved by the pasture, so it is extremely rare for people here to starve.
The place where the food was collected was next to the Giant Building. There was a warehouse building. Thousands of people lined up quietly, without excessive noise, and even seemed a little quiet. Those who were queuing up to receive food were all young people in their twenties, and people of twenty-seven or eight years old seemed very rare, and those in their thirty-year-olds could not see them at all.
Because there is something called the cap tax here. From the age of thirty, it is a mature crop that is harvested by giants.
Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao lined up silently with everyone, and naturally they could feel that the people around them had little spirit in their eyes, and had a kind of dullness, as if they had lost their souls.
The people here seem to be just living for the sake of living, willingly accepting the fate of animals, and there is no other thing in their minds.
In contrast, Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao both looked at the people around them with inexplicable complex colors.
The queue seemed too quiet, a little depressed. Thousands of people gathered together, but it seemed so quiet, and very few people talked. This situation was simply impossible in the Daqian Empire.
"Brother! Can you ask you a question?" Dugu Jianxiao couldn't stand the depression here and took the initiative to talk to the people in front.
"What...thing?" In front of Ye Shan and the others was a young man of twenty-seven or eight years old. When facing Dugu Jian Xiao's questioning, he seemed a little dull and a stiff tone, as if he rarely spoke and his tone was a little unclear.
"You are almost thirty years old! Do you have any other ideas?" Dugu Jianxiao asked bluntly.
"What...think?" The old young man's eyes were full of dullness and he couldn't understand the meaning of Dugu Jianxiao's words.
"Thirty years old! Point tax!" Dugu Jianxiao said.
"Yeah!" Hearing this sentence, the old young man finally understood what Dugu Jianxiao meant. A strange color flashed in his eyes and said, "What are the others... how are I... how are I doing!"
However! His tone of voice was faintly a bit relieved, and a hint of instinctive fear.
"..." Hearing such an answer, Dugu Jianxiao was silent, and the sadness on her face became even stronger.
Ye Shan patted Dugu Jianxiao's shoulder and comforted her silently. At the same time, he also felt silent about the fate of these people. Perhaps everything here has been imprinted in their bones. If one day someone suddenly kills the giant in the village, or they will feel confused and do not know how to survive.
Because of the dullness, the place seems quiet and the efficiency of receiving food is extremely fast. It is just a fragrant time. Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao have already gone from the team to the front of the queue. Here you can see a large warehouse, a slightly old giant, half lying on a stone bench, with a bored expression and a wandering look.
There are mountains of fur and inferior grains in the warehouse. The jerky meat as hard as stones vaguely emits a foul smell. You can see mice, skewings of random skewers on the pile of grains, and no one pays attention to it.
In front of the warehouse, there were three human youths who were stronger than ordinary people. They kept moving things out of the warehouse, sweating like rain, and two young people distributed food to people.
Ye Shan glanced at the half-lying giant and ignored it directly. Then his eyes fell on the five young men who transported and distributed food. These five young men gave Ye Shan a different feeling. He could feel that the eyes of these five people were not as dull as ordinary people, but had a faint gloss.
This is a kind of luster that comes from the soul, what is freedom, and when longing for freedom, Ye Shan immediately concluded that these five people would not accept the fate arranged by the giants.
"Give it!" The young man who distributed the food, with his dirty hands, put two pieces of stinky dried meat and two pieces of unknown rhizome food on the countertop, and said one word in a monotonous way.
The slight smelly dried meat is two black and moldy lamb legs, rhizomes and foods, and dry goods. They are thick rhizomes of unknown plants. They are the size of adult thighs, irregular shapes and as hard as stones. They also crack in them, which are cracked due to exposure to the sun.
These foods are enough for two people to eat for a few days. Of course, Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao will not eat these inferior foods.
"Thank you!" Ye Shan took the food and said thank you.
Of course, the people in the village would not say such things, because the people who were kept in captivity had lost their minds and just lived in a daze, and were living dead people.
Therefore! The young man who distributed food suddenly heard such a sentence, suddenly raised his head and stared at Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao. He could actually see from the six or seven thousand people in the entire farm that Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao were two strange faces.
Seeing two strange faces, the young man who distributed food suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face. However, suddenly, he seemed to remember something and quickly closed his surprise face.
"The meat must be cooked until it is eaten!" the young man said to the two.
Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao saw the youth's expression change, and they all looked shocked, and felt a little confused, but the young man did not expose their intentions.
"Dad Sap..." At this moment, a five-meter-high giant came over and shouted at the half-lying old man.
The giant's muscles are tangled, and the light on his head is like a mirror. Under the sunlight, it reflects light. Blood vessels like pythons are squirming slightly, and through the skin, it seems that the blood flowing in the blood vessels can be seen.
In addition, there was a hideous scar on the giant's face.
As the giant came with the tiger steps, a fierce aura rushed towards him like a huge wave and devoured everyone.
Everyone who was queuing for food was suddenly silent and swarmed away, afraid of getting close to the giant half a step, as if the giant had an endless reputation.
"Turbidden! Stop it for me." Seeing the scattered crowd, the hideous giant suddenly shouted angrily, like a thunder exploding, buzzing.
The dispersed crowd stopped immediately. He stayed there motionless and looked at the giant with horror.
In a chaotic situation, the young man who had just distributed food to Yeshan quickly pulled Yeshan and Dugu Jianxiao aside, and whispered, "Low your head! Don't let him notice you."
After saying this, the young man shook his eyes at another young man who distributed food and the three young man who was transporting food. The four of them immediately understood and gathered together, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao behind.
"What's wrong! Little Sak? Why do you have time to see your father?" The old giant lying on the stone chair immediately smiled when he saw the hideous giant and said with a smile.
"Dad Sap! I'm not here to see you, but the young master came to visit you. I asked me to bring in ten humans to drink." The giant named Sac showed a hideous smile and looked around the crowd, looking at him looking to find a few good people to drink.
"Hmph! Let's do it!" When the old giant heard that the giant was not coming to see him, he snorted coldly, lay down and ignored the giant named Sak.
"Hehe! Dad, don't be surprised. The young master's affairs are a big deal. I will bring you a jar of wine to see you in the evening. You can prepare some top-quality ingredients to send to the bar." Giant Sak saw his angry father and immediately laughed. As for the top-quality ingredients, in the eyes of giants, humans are the top-quality ingredients.
"Hmph! It's almost the same. Dad thought you had become the young master's guard and your wings were hard. I didn't come to see Dad for such a long time." The old giant snorted, but looking at his appearance, he was relieved.
"Ruo! You can choose the people here." The old giant pointed to the silent people and said.
"Okay!" Giant Sack nodded slightly, then patrolled the crowd, but he didn't seem to be very fond of it.
However, when the giant Saker's eyes fell on the five people responsible for distributing and transporting the food, his eyes suddenly lit up. These five people were stronger than ordinary humans, and their eyes were divine, so he naturally fell in love with the giant Saker, so he came to "Dad! I want these five people, and I can pick five people at will."
When the five young men who distributed food heard this, their faces turned pale with a whisper.
"No! These five people are my right-hand assistants to my father. I am used to using familiar things. You have to take these five people away. My father will handle the tedious things by myself. You should pick some other people." The old giant browed deeply, thought about it and shook his head.
"Hmph! Are you here to mess with me? The young master wants to serve wine and food to greet the guests. You can pick ten of them at will and cook them thoroughly. Can the young master's guests still see the quality of it?"
"Uh! What my father said seems to be the reason." Giant Sack was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded.
The giant Sak, who had realized it, casually pointed out ten people, but because his eyes fell on the five young men, he naturally noticed Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao.
Giant Sak, the first two names named Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao.
The five young men who distributed the food were relieved because of the old giant's protection. However, when the giant Sak named Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao behind them, their faces became ugly, but they did not dare to chew on them.
Ye Shan and Dugu Jianxiao came out just to take a look, wanting to see the living conditions of humans in the giant empire, but they did not expect to encounter such a thing, which immediately caused the two of them to frown slightly.
However, the two of them were not afraid. At worst, they could start killing. However, Dugu Jianxiao had just recovered from a serious illness and needed some time to recuperate. It was not a good thing to work hard, which made Ye Shan feel embarrassed.
"Don't worry, both of you! We will find a way to give it to you." However, at this moment, the young man in front of Yeshan secretly sent a voice to Yeshan.
Hearing this, Ye Shan was stunned. At least he needed to have cultivation and know the skills of voice transmission. Are these five young people with cultivation?
This is something that Ye Shan was surprised. According to principles, it is impossible for people who are being held captive by giants to have cultivation, because among these people, the inheritance of literary knowledge has long been cut off, and it is impossible to practice martial arts without a certain accumulation of knowledge.
Practicing martial arts is based on the body. If you do not have a certain accumulation of knowledge and do not understand anything, you will do it randomly. Even if you have secrets in hand, you will be able to practice your body. It is also a big problem to be seen without understanding the secrets and not understanding the truth.
