"Mom! Mom!" A little orc girl shook the little ears on her head, and the crowd of lovers hugged her mother tightly.
The female orc had a face full of vicissitudes of life, looking much older than her actual age. She picked up her child, with an uneasy look on her face.
It's really a mess here, there are orcs everywhere, soldiers with weapons on their backs, stern scoldings everywhere, and the cry of children or women can be heard everywhere.
"Sir! Please! My child can also work!" At the front of the team, a woman hugged her child and begged the soldiers blocking the road in a tearful voice.
The orc soldier was obviously a little impatient. He saw too many women taking care of their families today.
"Go away! Look at the notice! Only adult men and women! Not children!" The soldier waved his arms and yelled loudly.
It's not that he doesn't want to be a good person and let this woman go, but the order he received doesn't allow him to do so.
If he really offends the human guests behind him, it will affect the number of recruits and damage the interests of the orc empire. Will he, a small soldier, be unable to survive?
Even if you kill him, he's not worth anything! To put it bluntly, killing tens of thousands of people will make those humans sitting in the shade eating watermelon happy. The Beast King doesn't mind trying to kill him once.
In this place full of yellow sand, no one cares about the value of life. Living is a waste of water, and breathing is a waste of materials! If not, the Orc Empire would not need to send soldiers to Qin's Western Wall Fortress every year to die.
Already.
Hot weather is the main theme here. It is really a luxury to eat fruits in the Orc Empire. In the past hundreds of years, the Beast Emperor may not have been able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
However, in recent years, the railways built by the Tang Empire have caused transportation costs to plummet. Vegetables and fruits from Shu... now it should be said to be from Qin can enter the desert, allowing the orc nobles to enjoy the benefits of technological progress.
Come dividends.
In the Orc Empire, this kind of dividend cannot reach the poor. However, because the circulation of materials has become more frequent, some ordinary people will eventually benefit.
Looking at the humans eating watermelon in the shade, several orc children swallowed their saliva. They really wanted to walk over and see the kind of sparkling water they had never seen in their lives!
That's right, the water in the glass bottles placed on the human tables is actually sparkling! They are crystal clear and completely different from the well water in the slums of the Orc Empire.
For the poor among the orcs, the water is not transparent. It is turbid and full of the smell of sand. Drinking this water is just to survive. It is an instinct of life.
"Please! Sir! My child can really work! He is very strong! He can carry things and wash clothes! He is really capable." The woman was still begging because she really didn't want to put herself in trouble.
The children were left to the malicious traffickers in the distance.
Those people are waiting here, waiting for those men and women who have lost their patience, lack of family affection, and are indifferent to humanity, and throw their children to them in exchange for some food and money.
Today is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to go to the beautiful human world. As long as they can get on the train waiting there at a distant station, they will live an unprecedentedly good life!
It's just that... there is a small price to pay! They must abandon the elderly and children at home as commodities and go to a strange world to work for ten years!
In these ten years, these young orcs were just an asset, a human asset of the Tang Empire. They had to engage in the most dangerous, complex and tiring work.
Ten years later, they will be eligible to go to a place called "Freedom Island", where they can enjoy a happy life! There is no yellow sand there, only woodland and farmland, only cities and beautiful sea views.
"Get out of the way! Next one!" The soldier did not dare to make the decision without permission and shouted to the woman waiting behind her.
The woman who heard the shouting quickly stepped forward, and then the soldier responsible for the inspection looked even more disgusted. After removing the rag around her face, the female orc looked like she might be 40 years old.
In the Orc Empire, women after the age of 40 are basically "negative assets". Because of their hard work and lack of materials, their physical condition is extremely poor, and they are unable to have children, so they have almost no role.
Obviously, the old woman whom the Orc Empire looks down upon cannot stain the eyes of human guests. Those young cat-eared ladies can be sent to Chu or Tang to work as maids or directly to entertainment venues, but the old lady is obviously
No way.
Moreover, such a slave obviously cannot work for the Tang Empire for ten years, and may die of illness in two or three years. Isn't that defrauding the Tang Empire of its money?
The Tang Empire paid for arms, advanced weapons, and shocking technologies that cannot be bought with real money! If you use bad goods to deceive the Tang Empire and make the Tang Empire angry, then it will be a big deal.
Ruined.
"You..." Before the soldier carrying a Mauser 98k rifle scolded the old woman, he saw something terrifying out of the corner of his eye.
A few children, without knowing when, slipped under the shade of the only nearby tree and stood next to the table of the distinguished guests who had come from afar.
"Hey! Hey!" In desperation, the orc soldier quickly called to the captain next to him: "Sir, sir...hey!"
Low-level orcs have no names. Generally, there will be two hundred "scum" and more than a hundred "sand tigers" in an army. The biggest difference between the orcs in the orc empire and the orcs in the Tang Empire is that
Maybe all the orcs in the Tang Empire have names...
The orc captain, who was dizzy under the vicious sun, squinted his eyes and looked impatiently at the men calling him, then quickly pulled out his pistol and beat the bastard to death for disturbing his sleep.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He finally found a rock that was not so hot and sat for a while! He was a little annoyed and glanced in the direction of his fingers, and then
He stood up from the stone as if his butt was burned by fire.
At almost a sprint speed of 100 meters, the ugly orc captain ran under the shade of the tree, lowered his head and bent down, preparing to drive away those children who dared to disturb the human guests.
But before he could speak, he saw the man, who even the elders of nearby tribes would call "sir" when they saw him, handing a piece of watermelon to a dirty-looking child.
"Big, big, big, sir..." The orc platoon leader was so frightened that he could hardly speak clearly. That piece of watermelon... is much more valuable here than a child.
"This child looks good." Looking at the child who was devouring watermelon for the first time in his life, the man praised him with a smile.
When evaluating an orc, especially a male orc, the highest criterion is probably that he looks good. There is no way around it, humans are all pretty.
To the people of the Tang Dynasty, it didn't matter if an orc worked a little slower, but being too ugly would really make people uncomfortable. Most of the female orcs were good-looking, but male orcs were the hardest hit.
"He, they..." The orc platoon leader did not feel the anger of the humans he could not offend, so he spoke more fluently.
"Don't talk yet." The man sitting at the head of the table under the shade of the tree pulled out the stopper of a bottle of mineral water, took a sip and waved to the little orc girl who was looking at him intently.
After he waved, he poured the precious water in the bottle onto a white silk scarf. When the little girl approached timidly, he smiled and wiped the girl's face with the silk scarf to make her face clean.
.
After wiping the girl's face, the man handed the glass bottle to the girl: "It quenches your thirst. You drink some first, and then you can leave the rest to your mother."
The little orc girl who looked like a porcelain doll took the bottle from the man's hand, but did not dare to drink the water inside.
In fact, mineral water in the Tang Empire has begun to use plastic as a substitute for glass. However, including the Tang Dynasty, glass bottles are obviously still the mainstream.
The difference is that Tang's beverages and mineral water already use metal caps with rubber gaskets. Other countries are not willing to use metal products and can only make do with wooden stoppers.
Of course, the mineral water on the table could not have been shipped from the Tang Empire. They were all produced in factories in Shu... and now they are factories in Qin.
"Drink!" The man smiled. In the eyes of the little girl, this was probably the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. She felt that the man was even shining with light, like a god.
She gently put her dry lips against the mouth of the bottle, carefully lifted the bottom of the bottle, and let the sweet water flow into her mouth... It turns out that water can taste so good!
"Go!" Another human guest threw a piece of fruit to each child, whether it was an orange or a pear, and then waved to the children.
"Get out of here!" Feeling that he finally had a chance to speak, the orc platoon leader, who was standing there with no intention of staying or walking, turned around and glared at the children. Under his lustful power, the children immediately ran away.
Far.
"Let these children be considered dead. Also, that little girl just now... don't let anyone embarrass her." Without even looking at the ugly orc platoon leader, the man from the Tang Empire waved his hand and signaled
The other party can retreat. He has no choice but to look at that ugly face.
The person next to him was very kind and gave the orc platoon leader a bottle of water. This was definitely a gift. After hearing the order, the orc platoon leader quickly bowed his head and retreated while holding the bottle in his hand.
