Chapter 136 Motivation
After a night of hustle and bustle, Red Beard set off with his people in the early morning.
Many of Redbeard's men were as drunk as a puddle of mud. Redbeard and Andrew obviously drank a lot of wine, but they seemed to be fine.
The two strong men quickly threw the drunken people on the deck, lowered the deck with those who were not drunk, and raised the sails in the rising sun.
The slaves on the beach all belonged to the Pumixiu people, and Red Beard was not interested in these.
Doug is actually not interested either, but too many people in Pumixiu have died. If the population is not replenished, there will only be fewer and fewer people in the village.
Lawrence's head was a little groggy. Yesterday, at the request of Redbeard and Andrew, he could only drink a few drinks, and his head still hurts now.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, the Wakili who packed up wine, food, drinking water, vegetables and fruits quickly left here.
After the two warriors led the team away, Doug is now the king here.
Lawrence looked at Doug who was directing on the shore.
Although the sun was out, it was still a bit cold by the water, and the old man standing there in a cloak inspecting everyone's work gave Lawrence the feeling of an old landowner.
Doug is not young. Although he should be almost in his prime like Andrew, it may be because he was tortured to death last time. This man always exudes the aura of twilight.
After all, he is a man who has suffered a serious illness...
It is normal for a man in his forties to suffer so much. Besides, this old man already looks old.
"Doug, how many slaves can you give me this time?"
Lawrence's manor is still short of labor. Now his father-in-law Andrew has thoughtfully sent four to five hundred kilograms of grain, so he can feed more people.
When Doug heard this request, he said cheerfully: "Of course, you can choose. I'll give you five."
Lawrence looked at the prisoners who had been frozen all night, and then quickly looked at Salil.
"Salil, you choose."
Salil thought for a moment, looked at it with a frown, then quickly shook her head and said, "When we get back, let Sophia pick."
This time, the two came out anxiously. Dom the sheep couldn't bear too much weight, so he didn't take Sophia with him.
These prisoners were originally going to be taken back to Pumexiu Town, and Doug was not in a hurry, "Then go back, keep some slaves, take the rest away, and let's set off!" Lawrence said quickly: "Then I'll choose three slaves first
. , it would be a pity to keep the beautiful ones here."
There are also people staying here in Dumu Village. If these prisoners are left behind, they will probably not end well.
Doug said in a very elderly manner: "Okay, go ahead and pick! Redbeard said you should pick first."
Lawrence looked carefully among the more than a hundred prisoners. Most of the people here seemed to be poor. But there are also middle-aged and fat people who look like rich people.
Lawrence was not interested in this kind of person, but searched among the female prisoners who were easier to manage.
Soon Lawrence saw three young women dressed in black and white.
The three women in their teens or twenties were dressed very differently from the others, like monastery clothes.
The two young ones quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lawrence. The older one put his hands on his chest and moved his lips slightly, praying for something.
Lawrence quickly asked: "Do they speak the same language as us?"
Doug said casually: "I can't understand what they said, but it's not necessary, just let them know what to do."
Lawrence quickly pointed out Looking at the three nuns, he said: "I want those three, and I can choose the other two after I go back."
Doug looked at the three young girls, "I don't think they will live long, but since you like it, then Take them away."
These three nuns obviously don't look like working women. The winter here is very cold. In Doug's opinion, most thin women cannot adapt here.
Lawrence asked Salil to go back first, while he followed the team.
Vipu had already asked people to transport some things back, and now the men and women in Pumixiu Town came over to help pull the things, like ants moving, moving everything off the boat and taking it back.
On the way back, Doug said to Lawrence: "That idiot from Avali will definitely come over and expose his greedy and stupid desires to me." "If
he dares to come over, I will kill him!"
Doug looked fierce, looking at It's not just angry words, it's obvious that he has the power to take action. Lawrence felt that Doug was different from before.
Doug said something similar before, but at that time it was obvious that he wanted to do it himself.
Now Doug seems to have a grudge and a blood feud with Baron Avari.
The reason for this is not difficult to guess. Lawrence felt that Doug must have obtained a lot of good things this time, and he did not want to share them with Baron Avari.
Avari may not be smart, or he may not be that stupid. Judging from the information currently known, this guy must be a greedy person!
He is the baron of Pumixiu Town. In theory, people in Pumixiu must obtain his permission and hands to cook, hunt, fish, raise pigs and chickens.
Of course, Baron Avari is also eligible to take the bulk of Doug’s harvest when he goes out to do business.
Just thinking about this kind of thing gives you a motive for committing a crime!
Lawrence felt that savages were not so simple, and they would use their brains when it was time to use their brains.
It was already evening when we returned to Pumixiu Town. The Pumixiu people prepared bread and wine and started the carnival.
The slaves were simply and roughly put into an empty room, where more than a hundred people could be accommodated in one room.
Lawrence was not in a hurry to drink. Instead, he led the three nuns whose hands were trapped with a rope to a quiet room.
"Can you understand me?"
Lawrence looked at the three nuns. These three nuns didn't look like village girls from ordinary families.
The three nuns quickly shook their heads, indicating that they did not understand.
Lawrence: ...
"Forget it, forget it if you don't understand." Lawrence said casually: "This is not my home, I am in a manor on the mountain. You are my slaves now, and you will go home with me tomorrow."
"If there are people you know among the remaining slaves, it's best to go with me to the place of detention now and take them with you, so that you can be together." "
If not, forget it, you wait here, I Just pick two later." After
Lawrence finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door.
The older nun quickly stood up.
When Lawrence saw this, he opened the door and went out, and the three nuns behind him followed him out.
Lawrence quickly turned around and looked at the three cowering nuns.
"Give me the rope. If I don't hold you, others may find you walking away by yourself and they may kill you."
The hands of the three nuns were tied to the same rope. The girl at the front quickly raised her hand and handed the rope that tied the three of them to Lawrence.
Lawrence walked around town with three beautiful women.
Both adults and children were filled with a cheerful and festive holiday atmosphere.
"Master! We are here!"
Sophia came running from a distance on a sheep. The Dom sheep under her was panting and obviously exhausted.
Lawrence stretched out his hand to help Sophia off the sheep's back, "Come on, come with me to the house to choose people, and choose two people you think are good."
Sophia already knew the matter from Salil, and said happily: "Okay! "
Lawrence asked in a low voice: "Are these three women the same as you?"
Sophia shook her head, "No, they are noble ladies who cannot get married. The family has no money to prepare dowries for them, so they are sent to the monastery as pawns. The nun's."
The three nuns behind heard Sophia's words and suddenly felt very humiliated.
Yet it is true.
In barbarians, nobles without inheritance rights go out to work hard, while in normal civilized countries, nobles without inheritance rights generally join the church to learn knowledge.
Sofia quickly selected two men. Although the other men did not speak and did not have ID cards, Sofia felt that the two men looked like the coachman and the farmer in the manor.
What the manor needs is men who can work, and Sophia understands this at a young age.
