Chapter 689 Ma's Plantation (Part 2)
The Ma family has been a Buddhist for generations and was very generous to their servants in the past, so they are not very strict in managing slaves now. Generally, as long as the slaves work hard, they will not only eat well and live well, but even when they reach age, the Ma family will buy them.
The female slaves asked them to marry, and even if they made a particularly significant contribution, they might be exempted from slavery by the Ma family and become a tempting person. This is the identity that all slaves dream of, so the slaves in the Ma family are very loyal.
Working very hard.
When Xiya saw that her father was having dinner with others, she did not bother him. Instead, she entered from the corner door next to the canteen to the cooking place behind, and soon found her mother who was helping someone to cook.
Xiya's mother was also very happy to see her daughter. She knew that Xiya went to Coconut City today, so she asked about Xiya's experience in the city today while working. Finally, she took another wooden plate and served it for Xiya.
Part of rice.
Today is a day to improve the food once a month, so the dishes are also very rich, including fried fish and mutton, and a serving of fried potato shredded potatoes. Xiya likes to eat meat, so she served more fried fish and mutton and sat down.
I started eating in the kitchen.
After the meal, Xiya immediately washed the dishes very well. The same was true for the people eating outside the canteen. After eating, they had to wash them by themselves and hand them to the window. If the person in the window thinks you are not washing them clean,
They have to go back and wash until they are satisfied.
Xiya helped her mother and the others in the kitchen to pack up the plates, chopsticks, etc., and then cleaned the cookware. By the time they got home, it was completely dark and Sam was in the yard.
Fill water in the well and prepare to take a shower. In hot weather like Java, the plantation requires everyone to take a bath every day. This is said to prevent some diseases.
Xiya and her mother also sweated a lot, so the family of three took a shower and changed into loose clothes. At this time, Xiya took out all the things she bought today and opened them all the same, including the ones.
The clothes and jewelry bought by my mother, the shoes and hats for my father Samm, etc., are very practical, making both the Samm and his wife very happy.
It was Sam's turn tonight, so Thea stayed at home with her mother. The mother and daughter helped Sam put the leather armor from the plantation on her body. Finally, Sam was carrying a bow and arrow behind her back and hung her waist.
After saying goodbye to Xiya and her daughter, she strode to the corner building in the northeast corner of the manor.
When Sam came to the front of the corner building, he found that three people were waiting there. According to the rules, four people were required to be on duty in each corner building, one was a guard housekeeper, one was a supervisor, and the other two were
Strong slave.
"Hello, Brother Ma, Xiya went to the city today and bought a lot of things. So I'm so sorry!" After seeing the middle-aged man in the lead, Sam immediately stepped forward and said apologetically.
.
The middle-aged man in front of him was Ma Ming, the younger brother of the owner of the Ma family plantation, which is the uncle of the Ma Lin brother and sister. Moreover, this man was very amazing. He used to be an escort in His Majesty's mansion, but later became an officer for his military merits.
But in the past few years, he was injured in a campaign to clear out natives in Borneo, which made his right leg a little inconvenient. Originally, the army wanted to arrange for him to work, but the Ma family just happened to start a planting in Coconut City.
The garden, and it is not very complete, so Ma Ming refused the army's arrangement and returned home to help his brother manage the plantation.
Ma Ming is a very serious person. Even after retirement, he still maintains his true nature as a soldier. Therefore, he glanced at Sam and said, "Well, today is the first time, and I don't want another next time!"
Sum had learned bows and weapons from Ma Ming before, so he knew the temper of this elder brother Ma, so he immediately smiled and said with apologies: "Brother Ma, don't worry, I promise that this situation will never happen again in the future!"
Ma Ming also knew that although Sam was an American, he was honest and reliable. He also knew about Ma Lin and the others going to the city today. Ma Xiaoyu brought him his favorite fried dried stinky dried stinky ones. He knew that Sang
What Mu said was true, so he pointed out: "Well, come with me to the kennel first and lead the dog around the plantation!"
According to the rules, people on the night are not always staying in the corner building, but patrolling the plantation twice every night. After all, various crops in the plantation also need to be protected to avoid being damaged by humans or some large animals.
It's right.
The manor was short of staff, so he raised a large number of wolf dogs. Sum followed Ma Ming to the kennel and released more than a dozen wolf dogs in it. At this time, the two slaves also brought the horses. After all, the plantation was
The area is too large, and if you rely on your legs alone, you may not be able to walk for a whole night.
The four of them turned over the horse, then called the wolf dog to follow out of the manor and walked along the path between the fields. More than a dozen wolf dogs kept running in front of the horse. These wolf dogs were trained specifically and were very humane.
There is no need to worry that they will run away, and once you hear any unusual movements, you will immediately show your energy to your master. It can be said to be an excellent helper.
Want to go around a tens of thousands of acres of places, even if they were riding a horse, it took a full hour in the end. What made Sam feel relieved was that everything seemed very normal, and they even hit a single one on the way.
The little wild boar who was stealing food also met with another team that came out of patrol in the corner building when he went back.
When they took the wild boar back to the corner building, the two slaves immediately cleaned up the wild boar. There was a place to cook in the corner building. After all, the patrolman would definitely feel hungry at night, so they usually cook something in the corner building.
The burning of honeycomb coal in the stove is clean and easy to deal with. A large iron pot is placed on the stove. After a while, the water will boil and be cut into large pieces of wild boar meat and thrown into the pot. Add various seasonings to cook.
The other cleaned internal organs and big bones were all cheaper than the wolves.
But just as Sam and his friends were waiting to taste the unexpected food, they suddenly saw a red firework rising on the road ahead of their corner building.
"No, the patrol is in trouble!" Sum, who had been staring at outside, immediately screamed, and picked up the bow and arrow and the horizontal knife and went downstairs. The fireworks just now were used by the patrol team for help, and usually only encountered them.
Only when they can't resist the enemy will they send a signal to ask for help, so Ma Ming is so anxious.
Ma Ming also knew that the matter was serious, so he also picked up his weapons and rushed out, but he did not forget to instruct the two slaves to guard the corner tower in case of being hit by the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The horses were just under the corner tower, and they rode on it.
Break out of the manor.
Ma Ming was very familiar with the roads in the plantation. He just saw the distress signal and knew where the patrol was, so he picked the nearest road and rushed over. He quickly arrived at the site of the incident, but he had not seen anyone yet.
, I heard the people in front of me shouting, horses neighing in a mess, and some wolf dogs made fierce screams from time to time.
Ma Ming and Sum urged the horses and turned around a sugar cane forest. They immediately saw a dozen black shadows siege and patrol four people on the road ahead. Under the reflection of torches, one of them was riding on the horse.
It seemed that the other three were very injured. They could not see any obvious injuries, but they were entangled now and could not tell the difference between shooting arrows. They could only use the horizontal knife in their hands to block the shadows.
attack.
Fortunately, the patrolman was carrying more than a dozen wolf dogs. These fierce and loyal wolf dogs did help a lot in the anxious moments. They pounced on the black shadow from time to time to take the initiative to attack, but the weapons on the black shadow's hands could hurt the wolf dogs.
There were already three wolf dogs lying there motionless, probably not going to survive, and the others were all covered in scars. If they hadn't been loyal to protecting their master, the four patrolers would have been killed by the other party long ago.
Seeing this situation, Ma Ming's face was extremely gloomy. He saw a silent bow and arrow, "Swoosh swish swish swish~" sounded through the air, and several long arrows flew out like a line.
As a result, a few black shadows who were jumping happily just now fell down, and the arrows were all fatal.
At the same time, Sam also shot arrows, but he didn't learn to be archers for a long time, so archery skills naturally cannot be compared with Ma Ming. Only half of the arrows shot hit the target, and they were not fatal. The other party had long arrows inserted into the body.
, just screamed a few times and did not fall down.
However, when the four patrolmen saw their reinforcements arrive, they were all excited. In addition, the shadows that besieged them were reduced by half, which immediately reduced their pressure and began to fight back. As a result, this made them even more
The men who besieged them could not stand it. One of the guys who seemed to be the leader shouted loudly in the local language. The men immediately gave up the siege and turned around and fled to the sugarcane forest.
When Ma Ming heard the other party's words, he immediately knew that these people must be wandering native robbers. He thought that his legs were injured by clearing out the injuries of the natives and finally had to retire, so he wanted to kill all the natives. Therefore, he wanted to kill all the natives.
Seeing the other party running away, several arrows were shot out immediately. Unfortunately, because of the blockade of sugarcane, only one shot was killed, and the others were injured and fled.
Of course, Ma Ming could not let go of these hateful native robbers. He immediately ordered the remaining wolfdogs to chase them, and then the six people surrounded them separately. After all, when it comes to familiarity with the terrain, those native robbers would definitely not be able to compare with them.
.
Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, other supporters finally arrived. Under Ma Ming's command, the group of native robbers were quickly blocked on a road leading to the outside of the plantation.
