C1483 Born to Work
Lin Nan instantly understood.
It wasn't that these people didn't want to run away, but they simply couldn't!
At this moment.
A young man who was about the same age as Lin Nan said, "It's not impossible to escape. One of them should have escaped."
"Who?" Lin Nan asked in surprise.
"Captain Hook!"
Li Jin turned his head and said, "Wang Le, do you think Captain Hook escaped? Maybe he didn't even know he died on the prairie!"
Wang Le said, "Captain Hook's strength is comparable to a grandmaster, he will definitely be able to escape!"
"So what if he's a grandmaster? Even if the Spiritual Energy is sealed, isn't he just an ordinary person? Can he fight against the beasts of the grassland?" Li Jin scoffed.
"No..."
Wang Le's face turned red.
He knew that he couldn't win against Li Jin. And the others also thought that Captain Hook died on the island.
But, he felt that Captain Hook had escaped.
At this time, Lin Nan smiled and said, "Your guess is correct. Captain Hook had indeed escaped!"
"What?!"
Everyone looked at Lin Nan in shock.
Li Jin asked with a complicated expression. "Lin Nan, how did you know?"
"Because I have seen it before."
Lin Nan honestly said, "I saw Captain Hook on the sea, but he lost his Spiritual Energy and lasted for a few months. He breathed his last in front of me. Captain Hook was the one who gave me directions to reach this island. "
"Captain..."
When Wang Le heard this, he immediately covered his face and cried.
"Look, isn't that dead?" Li Jin spread his hands.
"That's different!" Wang Le shouted.
In his heart, the captain held a very high position.
Who knew, with a bang, the stone door was kicked open.
The villager holding the stone spear said in a stern voice: "What are you shouting for? Be quiet!"
"It's fine, it's fine. The little fellow is starting to miss home!" Li Jin went forward to greet him.
"Hmph, it's useless even if you miss home. Don't even think about going out after coming here. "
The villagers closed the door again.
Lin Nan found it strange and asked, "You have a good relationship with them?"
"Actually, as long as it is in this world, the ways of the world are the same no matter where it is!"
Li Jin said, "I used to be a businessman and was prepared to go to Africa to do jewelry business. At that time, in order to take a shortcut, I went to the Devil's Sea and ended up on this island. Thinking about it now made me regret it!
However, I still brought some jewelry with me and bribed the few villagers at the door. The effect was better than I expected. At least they won't torture us. "
"You're quite good at socializing" Lin Nan agreed with him and smiled.
Li Jin said again, "Lin Nan, since we are here, we are family. We can work together in the future and take care of each other."
Lin Nan nodded and did not comment.
After chatting with everyone in the cave, Lin Nan had some understanding of the people here.
Of course, everyone only had one wish in their hearts. That was to leave this damn place.
Only Lin Nan's goal was different. He wanted to find the second half of the Sky Opening Nine Needles.
Therefore, when he knew there was something strange about the fruit, he swallowed it.
If he didn't enter the tiger's den, how could he obtain the tiger's cub?
He spent the night in a daze in the cave.
The next day.
The stone door was pushed open early in the morning. The villagers at the door brought over a pile of dry mantou.
"Hurry up and eat. Finish eating and go to work!"
Someone asked weakly: "What are we doing today?"
"Go chop firewood on the mountain and send it to the village." Yes, the villager said.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces revealed a depressed expression.
Li Jin whispered to Lin Nan, "You won the prize. Cutting firewood is the most tiring job!"
"Oh?"
Lin Nan replied casually.
Who knew that Wu Xiu would directly roar? "Cutting firewood every day. Are you guys going to cut the mountain bald?"
When the villagers saw that Wu Xiu had come, they seemed to be used to it. With a scoff: "If you don't want to go, then go to the village to pick feces. Choose one yourself!"
"You're courting death!"
Wu Xiu couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed forward and kicked the villager to the ground. As he beat the villager, he said, "You drove me crazy. I'll fight you to the death!"
The villager was beaten until he had no strength to resist. He howled on the ground.
Very soon, another robust and fierce villager came.
However, he did not take the stone spear. He looked like a leader.
He kicked Wu Xiu away and said, "If you go crazy again, throw you on the grassland and feed the wild beasts!"
"You throw it, you throw it!" Wu Xiu didn't forget to shout while lying on the ground.
"You said so?"
That person's eyes immediately revealed a dense killing intent.
Seeing this, li Jin hurriedly ran over. He said softly, "Brother Fan, he has been driven mad. Don't lower yourself to his level."
As he spoke, he took out a gold ring from his pocket and carefully stuffed it into Marquis Fan's hand.
Marquis Fan's expression eased slightly and he said with a cold smile: "Recently, I have indeed been mistreating you. I will call people to add food for you right away!"
"Thank you, thank you..."
Li Jin kept bowing.
After Marquis Fan left, the stone door was closed again.
Immediately, someone began to reprimand Wu Xiu: "What the hell are you doing? Are you going to implicate everyone and get punished? "
Wu Xiu came in anger but didn't say anything. Clearly, he was extremely aggrieved.
Lin Nan asked, "Who was that person just now?"
"Marquis Fan is the subordinate of the tribe leader. The one in charge of managing us is also a famous cultivator. These few years, I have given him many things. That is why he is polite to us." Li Jin explained.
"Li Jin, didn't you say last time that you already gave him everything? Why do you still have more?" Clap Clap Clap Yang Feng asked doubtfully.
"Okay," Li Jin said.
Li Jin sighed and said, "The diamond ring that I just gave to my wife was prepared to be given to her."
As soon as he said that, even Wu Xiu Lai's face revealed a guilty expression.
"This isn't good, right?" Lin Nan said.
Li Jin smiled bitterly and said, "I went out to sea to trade. I haven't been home for three years. My wife must think I died in the sea. Maybe she remarried. What's the use of keeping this ring? I might as well use it to help everyone. It's worth it."
Although Li Jin said it casually, the corners of his eyes were actually already somewhat moist.
Lin Nan could not bear it and advised, "It's fine. We will go back."
"Forget it. Just dream about it."
Instantly, the atmosphere became dull again.
After a while, the villagers brought some fruits and grains.
After they finished eating, they went up the mountain to chop firewood.
Along the way, there were villagers holding stone spears supervising and thinking, people would follow them whenever they cut their hands off. They looked like serious criminals in the outside world.
They climbed along the small path to the top of the mountain and arrived at the forest. Someone was gasping for breath just by climbing up. Not to mention chopping firewood, he still had to carry the firewood back to the village after chopping. This workload was not something an ordinary person could accept.
This time, supervisor Zhang Ji, who was in charge of supervising, sat down by the side. As he ate the fruits, he said, "Today, each person will be cut into twenty bundles. If you can't finish chopping, you won't be able to sleep!"
"What?! Twenty bundles? Don't you usually chop ten bundles?"
" What nonsense are you spouting!? There will be a fire ceremony tomorrow, shouldn't you prepare more firewood?" Zhang Ji replied.
Hearing the word fire sacrifice, everyone shook their heads and sighed.
It wasn't their first time seeing it, but every time they saw a woman being burned alive, they couldn't bear it. They didn't know which family's girl was going to suffer. Why did she come to this island for no reason?1
Da Da Da..."
Following the first sound of trees being cut, everyone joined in the process of chopping wood.
They could not resist. They could only obey.
Lin Nan carried a hoe and chopped down a tree in a matter of seconds.
Li Jin, who was beside him, was shocked and said, "Lin Nan, you are so strong?"
"I was born to work. So you have some strength, li Jin said." Lin Nan cooperated with him and smiled.
