C291 – Sand Slaves

This bread and what Shao Xuan and the others usually eat were different. It was more solid, strong enough to be used as a discus to shoot someone dead.
Shao Xuan took a piece from the bread and felt its strength. If one did not have the strength of a totem warrior, it was very difficult to pinch a piece from this thick dough.
He broke down a small piece and put it in his mouth to chew. Shao Xuan felt that this kind of bread should have a warning outside, “If your teeth is not good, do not eat.”
“Hard. But it’ll do if you’re hungry.” Shao Xuan gave an evaluation.
“This is a must for the travellers on our side. Unlike what you’ve exchanged from others, these are made for our own use, and generally not traded out. The food in ‘death’ was few, so with these, at least you can temporarily cope with it.”
After saying that, Yang Sui handed the black stone wrapped in a leaf to Shao Xuan. “You can use this as well.”
“What is this?” Shao Xuan felt the moist coolness of the black stone, guessing, “A rain stone?”
“It is indeed a rain stone, but it is not an ordinary rain stone. You could find a thousand pieces of rain stone for a small piece of this kind. We call it ‘spirit rain stone’, given by the spirit, and it can let the people of the tribe go through the driest season.”
These people were different from the new slaves, that they don’t have to be binded since they don’t run away.
Shao Xuan looked at these people. Their appearance did not have much difference compared to from the tribes, but their bodies were thin, their skins were black, and these were a shared physical characteristis of majority of the desert residents.
Perhaps because of their excessive exposure to strong sunshine, coupled with the poor desert climate with frequent sand storms, and cold from often sitting by the fire to warm, their skin loses elasticity and wrinkled, becoming stiff, rough and chapped.
Their teeth were yellow, their feet were bare, and they have no protective footwear to wear that the soles of their feet were larger than those of an average person.
Looking at Shao Xuan and the others, these people had eyes filled with curiosity and preparedness. Seeing the people on the team carrying things, they looked on with greed and intent to kill.
