Hei Nuo was very excited when she spoke of this.
In her previous life, a similar situation had occurred. The original owner did not believe such rumors at the time. After all, the female slaves assigned to the mines were all abandoned by the higher-ups.
Back then, the original owner had an allergy, and her face was covered in rashes, which led to her ending up in the mines. Originally, based on her appearance, she must have stayed in the master’s house in the capital.
Bei Yutang replied according to the original owner’s words in the previous life: “This should be unlikely.”
Hei Nuo thought about it and also felt that it was unlikely. She couldn’t help feeling a little discouraged.
She looked at Bei Yutang’s beautiful profile and sighed, “Alas, if it is true, you can leave here. With your beauty, you will surely be favored by the master. Then you can eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day, sleep on a comfortable bed, and wear silk and satin.”
The more Hei Nuo thought about it, the more she longed for it.
Bei Yutang stretched out her finger and flicked her forehead.
“Don’t think too much. What belongs to me is mine, and what doesn’t belong to me is useless to think about. Hurry up and work, or we’ll be in trouble if the supervisor sees us.”
Hei Nuo looked up and saw the supervisor coming toward them, which scared her so much that she quickly buried her head in her work.
In the mine, if the supervisor caught you slacking off, he would whip you. On the distant mountainside, supervisors were often seen whipping male slaves.
Just then, on the hillside, a male slave was whipped by a supervisor, and the whip hit his hand, causing the slave to drop the things in his hand. The supervisor beat him even harder, kicking him down, punching and kicking him.
Seeing that the male slave was spitting blood and was about to die, the supervisor had no intention of stopping. He dragged him directly and tied the dying male slave to a wooden stake not far away, ready to sun him to death.
Things like this were all too common in the mines. Every so often, someone would be tied to the stake. Those tied to the stake either bled to death, died of thirst, or starved to death.
At noon, it was finally time for lunch, and all the slaves hurried to the straw hut, bowls in hand, looking eagerly ahead.
Hei Nuo, standing behind Bei Yutang, would occasionally look over her shoulder, her eyes gleaming green as she gazed at the nearby wooden barrel containing food.
A quarter of an hour later, it was Bei Yutang’s turn. She handed over the bowl, and the supervisor scooped a spoonful of porridge into the bowl and then took a black naan from another supervisor.
After receiving their food, each slave found an open area to eat.
Hei Nuo pulled Bei Yutang and hid in a corner.
Hei Nuo eagerly took a sip of porridge, her expression of enjoyment as if she were eating delicacies from land and sea.
Bei Yutang looked at the porridge in the bowl. There were barely any grains of rice in it; it was all just rice water.
Seeing her standing there, not eating, Hei Nuo urged, “Yutang, hurry up and eat! After 01 and the others finish eating, your food will be gone.”
In the mine, it was common for stronger slaves to steal food from weaker ones. The supervisors were indulgent about it. As long as no one died, they would generally not care.
In her previous life, the original owner had been robbed of food by a group of people named 01 and 03. At that time, the original owner had just arrived at the mine and had only been bullied. After a long time, she also knew how to protect herself and how to keep her food.
Bei Yutang drank a sip of rice water and then ate a bite of black naan. Eating both together was much more comfortable than eating the black naan alone.
