Chapter 38: The Island of Migration

The ironclad continued to walk on the sea, and after passing through a volcanic and rocky island, it finally saw a larger island!

"That's the island of migration." Long Er said.

The two landed on the island of migration. Wen Bufan had already adapted to the gray sky here, but after going to the island, Wen Bufan found that the people on this island were all wearing gray clothes, and there were no plants on them. There is only one color on this island!

There are a lot of people on the island, who come and go and do their own thing.

"In such weather, how do the people here live!" Wen Bufan said.

"Nature has a way to survive." Long Er said as she walked. At this time, there was a burst of beating and scolding from the front.

Wen Bufan and Long Er walked over to take a look, only to see a strong man whipping a half-old child.

While beating, he scolded: "You little rabbit, I'll make you lazy!" ”

"Stop!" Wen Bufan naturally can't get used to this kind of thing. grabbed the strong man's hand and said, "What is there to say, he is still a child!" ”

"Who are you! Whatever! The strong man said to Wen Bufan: "Let go!" ”

Wen Bufan let go of his hand, but his body stopped between the strong man and the half-grown child, and said, "I really have to take care of this matter today!" ”

"Humph!" The strong man sneered, and then said, "It's okay, this rabbit cub hasn't finished his work today, or you will finish it for him?" ”

"What kind of work?" Wen Bufan said.

The strong man pouted and said, "Just take half of those ores there!" As he spoke, the strong man pointed to a warehouse in the distance!

Wen Bufan looked at the pile of ore and said, "He's a child, you let him do so much work?" ”

"I bought him! You've got to work for me! Can you do it? If it doesn't work, get out of the way! The strong man said impatiently.

"You bought it, good! You sell him to me! How much does it cost? Wen Bufan said.

"Sold to you? Good! Count you cheaper, three copper mines! Do you have one? The strong man said.

"Big black skin! You're sick! You bought me with one iron ore, and now you want three copper ores? The boy stood up and scolded loudly!

"You rabbit, you still have the strength to quarrel with me! See if I don't kill you! Big Black Leather said with a whip.

"Enough! A piece of copper ore! You buy it or not! Wen Bufan looked at the big black skin coldly and said.

Da Heipi looked at Wen Bufan's eyes, a little scared, and felt that a piece of copper ore was also earned! So he said, "One piece, one piece!" Cheap for you! ”

"So you bought this kid for me?" Wen Bufan said.

"Hmm!" Big Black Skin said.

"Alright, let's go!" Wen Bufan said to the child.

"Wait! You haven't given the mine yet! The big black skin shouted at Wen Bufan.

"I don't have it yet, I'll give it to you if I have one!" Wen Bufan said without looking back. Wen Bufan was telling the truth, he had just come to the island of migration, and he didn't know what copper and iron ore were like.

The strong man was furious: "You fool me! "When you pick up the whip, you have to do it. Suddenly, he saw a copper mine thrown in front of his eyes.

"You have a copper mine, huh?" Wen Bufan and Long Er followed the child away before asking.

"Nope! But that strong man has it. Long Er said.

"You're amazing!" Wen Bufan said with a smile: "I said, we just came to the island, where did you get the copper mine." ”

The child led Wen Bufan and Long'er to a cave, and after entering the cave, the child knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you master for saving your life!" ”

"Get up!" Wen Bufan said, "We are not your master either, you are free from today onwards!" What is your name? ”

"I don't have a name." The kid said.

"No name." Wen Bufan thought for a while and said: "It's gray here, sooner or later, one day, you people here will see the sun again!" Your name is Amin! ”

"Thank you, host!" Amin said.

"Hurry up and tell me about this island of migration." Wen Bufan said.

Ah Ming stood up and said: "I was born on this island, my parents were not there when I was very young, I was sold around, and finally sold to the big black skin, the big black skin is really not human, let me do it every day without night or night!" I was tired today and couldn't stand it, and just wanted to rest for a while, he saw it! ”

Wen Bufan looked at Ah Ming and said, "There will be no such thing in the future, you are you!" No more slaves to others! ”

"Hmm!" Amin said.

"Do you know anything about the island?" Wen Bufan asked.

Ah Ming nodded and said: "I have been sold here and there since I was a child, from the east to the west, and from the west back to the east, so I still have some understanding of the island. Our current location is the northeast side of the island, and it is also the ore production area of this island. These ores are in the hands of those who are rich, and then they hire people like Heipizi to help them mine the ore, and then extract gold, silver, copper, and iron from these ores! Then make it into a variety of necessities and sell them! Profit from it! Most of those rich people live on the southeast side of the island! Further west is the place where the aggressive people lived, and there were fighting arenas everywhere in the area. Those fighters were trained by the rich at great expense, and watching them fight each other is the greatest pleasure of the rich! We slaves are the price of their fights! ”

"Do you have a steward here?" Wen Bufan asked.

Amin shook his head and said, "No! It's the rich people who have the final say! ”

"Rich? You mean the rich people who live in the southeast? Wen Bufan asked.

"No, it's the rich men who live in the west. Each of them has an army, and the slightest mistake will start a war! Those rich people in the southeast, although they also have an army, but they only care about the mines here, so there is no problem with the mines, they will not easily cause trouble. Armin said.

Wen Bufan generally understood that these people in the east of the island mainly made a living from mining, and they were relatively peaceful. The west of the island is all about people who like to fight!

"Then how did you make a living without the big black skin?" Wen Bufan asked.

Amin thought with his head down, as if Amin hadn't thought about it before.

"He's so young, if we leave, he'll be taken away again, and then sold again!" Long Er said.

"Why don't you take this kid with you!" Wen Bufan said.

"There are not a thousand but eight hundred children like him here! Have we been able to save that much? Long Er said: "The plan for today is to rebuild order here!" ”

"That's good! Together, we also cut off the thoughts of those who want to rebel! Wen Bufan said.

Wen Bufan and Long Er continued to walk west with Ah Ming.
