Next day, Betawoke up, is bringingShirleyandJessicafinished eating the breakfastin the dining room, again when with the clear waterwas washing the food debris of mouth, Blydewalked.
第二天,贝塔醒来,带着雪莉和洁西卡在餐厅中吃完早餐,再用清水洗漱着嘴里的食物残渣时,布莱德走了进来。Helooked atShirley, thenbent the waist, said: The linen that „your excellency of respect, youwantwehave prepared. Whetheryoucantake the trouble, inspects the qualitywhethersuitsyourintention.”
他看了一眼雪莉,然后又弯下腰,说道:“尊敬的阁下,你要的麻布我们已经准备好了。你是否可以移驾出来,检查一下质量是否合你心意。”Betalooksto withstand/top a Blyde of pair of dark pouche, nods, thenleftoutsidewithhim.贝塔看着顶着一对黑眼圈的布莱德,点点头,然后跟着他出到了外面。Onhoteloppositestreet, is putting13donkey cartsabreast in row, aboveis piling the thickbrownlinen. Andhas a middle-aged person, saw that BlydeandBetacome out, hemoves forward to meet somebodyimmediately, deeplybent the waist saying: „Your excellency, seesyouvery muchhappily. Threekilometerslinen that youneed, Ihave shipped, pleaseapprove.”
旅馆对面的街上,并排放着13辆驴车,上面堆着厚厚的褐色麻布。其中有个中年人,一见到布莱德和贝塔出来,他立刻迎上去,深深地弯下腰说道:“阁下,很高兴见到你。你需要的三千米麻布,我已经运来了,请你验收。”Betanodstothisman, then before arriving at the donkey cart, randomization test the quality of linen.贝塔向这男人点头致意,然后走到驴车前,随机检验着麻布的质量。Carderlooks at the Betamovement, swallowingsaliva that keeping. Althoughhisqualitytoownlinenis very confident, butthiswill be related tohisshopfuturesurvivalissue, allhopeswereon the body of Beta, it may be said thatread the heaven, read the hell.
卡德尔看着贝塔的动作,在不停地的咽口水。虽然他对自家麻布的质量很有信心,可这事关他店铺未来的生存问题,所有的希望都系在了贝塔的身上,可谓是一念天堂,一念地狱。Betaspot-checkedcasually, thenarrives in front ofCarder, asked: „Qualityis good, how muchmoney.”贝塔随便抽查了一下,然后走到卡德尔面前,问道:“质量不错,多少钱。”
The hugehappy heartis floodingCarder'swhole bodyimmediately, hefaintsreplies: „18gold coins, your excellency, so long as18gold coins.”
巨大的幸福感立刻充斥着卡德尔的全身,他晕乎乎地答道:“18枚金币,阁下,只要18枚金币。”Betais very clear, thispricetrulywas the conscience. Heputs out20gold coinsfrom the space, putsinCarder'shand, thensaid: „Youhelpmemake50scissorsagain, 100pintlescome, twogold coins that are many, are the funds of thesethings.”贝塔很清楚,这价格确实是很良心了。他从空间中拿出20枚金币,放到卡德尔的手里,然后说道:“你再帮我弄50张剪刀,100条细针过来,多出的两枚金币,就是这些东西的款项。”Carderheld20gold coins, the eye socketis playing, almostpainstakingly. Ifin one day, he was unable the debt, thenallwill not have, butthese20gold coins, but also the debt, at leastalsohas been ableother about six, with to support the movement of shop, had more than enough to spare.
卡德尔捧着20枚金币,眼圈都戏了,差点苦了出来。如果再过一天,他还不能把欠款还了的话,那么一切都会没有了,而这20枚金币,还完了欠款,至少还能余下六枚左右,用以支撑店铺的动作,绰绰有余了。„Mythismakespeoplehelpyoumake the thing.”
“我这就让人去帮你把东西弄来。”Betanods, thensaid: „Troublesyouto continueto wait a whilehere, after anotherpersoncomes, youtransport the linento the place that Iassignagain.”贝塔点点头,然后说道:“麻烦你们继续在这里等一会,等到另外一个人过来后,你再把麻布运到我指定的地方去。”„Does not have the issue.”Cardermakes an effortto nod, 20gold coinssucceed in obtaining, heis now relieved.
“没有问题。”卡德尔使劲点点头,20枚金币到手,他现在安心无比。About after 20minutes, the youngmanager of slave marketalsocame, heis also going against a pair of dark pouche, it seems likelast nighthad also been busy for night.
大约20分钟后,奴隶市场的年轻总管也过来了,他也是顶着一双黑眼圈,看来昨晚也是忙了一夜。„Your excellency, yourrequest we have accomplished, whethernowyoudo planto have a look atyourpropertyin the past?”
“阁下,你的要求我们已经办到了,现在你是否打算过去看看你的财产?”Betanods, thengreetedCarder'sperson, was drawing13donkey carts, walkedtoward the North areaenormously and powerful. ShirleyandJessicaalsoplannedto follow, butBetamakesthemrestin the hotel, because of the followingmatter, theycannot help.贝塔点点头,然后招呼卡德尔的人,拉着13辆驴车,浩浩荡荡地往北区走。雪莉和洁西卡本来也打算跟上的,但贝塔却让他们在旅馆中休息,因为接下来的事情,她们帮不上什么忙。700manyslaveswere placedin a city northmountain massifcavity. Has saying that the persontrulysomewhatability and wisdom of slave market. Suchplacenot onlydoes not needto spendtheirmoney, but alsolives is not too cold, does not freeze to deaththeseslaves, will not makethemtoocomfortable.
700多的奴隶被安置在城北的一处山体空洞中。不得不说,奴隶市场的人确实有几分才智。这样的地方不但不用花他们的钱,而且住着也不算太冷,冻不死那些奴隶,却也不会让他们太舒服。
After Betais bringinghere, thatyoungmanagerthenleaves.
将贝塔带着这里后,那位年轻的主管便离开了。Betaentersin the cavity, looks that thiscrowdpresses together the YorkClanslave who warms up, looks attheirnumbfacial expressions, visitsthem, becausefor a long timehungrilybecomes the waxyellowskin, visitsonthemagain, thattattered, is obstructing the critical partraggedclothesreluctantly, thenshowsvariousfriendlysmiles.贝塔走进空洞中,看着这群挤在一起取暖的约克族奴隶,看着他们麻木的神情,看着他们因为长时间饥饿而变得蜡黄色的皮肤,再看着他们身上,那破破烂烂,勉强遮着要害部位的破衣服,然后露出各善的微笑。Heis raising the magiccopy clerk in hand: „Thinks that youshouldbe clear, nowyouaremyperson.”
他扬着手中的魔法文书:“想必你们应该清楚,现在你们已经是我的人了。”Almost allslaveslook upBeta, innumblook, nothappilynotsad.
几乎所有的奴隶都抬头看着贝塔,麻木的眼神中,无喜无悲。„Nowyoumustlisten tomyorder.”Betahas swept the crowd, thenasked: „Beforewhowasyourleaders, stood.”
“现在你们就得听我的命令。”贝塔扫过人群,然后问道:“以前谁是你们的头领,站出来。”Nobodymoves.
没有人动弹。Betahas smiledunder: „Youthink that the disobedientmasteris inadequate?”贝塔笑了下:“你们难道想忤逆主人不成?”Hearsthissaying, finallyhad the maturemanto stand. Hislookappearstranquil, is not the tranquility that typebringsnumbly, butistranquility in a mind. Generally speaking, suchperson, usuallyis not a leader of ethnic group, because of the extremelytranquilperson, does not havemanydesires, suchperson, is not suitable, will not pursue the authority.
听到这话,终于有个壮年男子站了出来。他的眼神显得平静,不是那种麻木带来的平静,而是一种心灵上的宁静。一般来说,这样的人,通常不会是一个族群的领袖,因为太过平静的人,是没有多少欲求的,这样的人,不适合,也不会去追求权位。„Herehasthreekilometerslinen.”Betalooks at the youngman, thenpoints at the donkey cart saying: „Youorganize, regardless ofeverybody, everyone canobtainthreemeterslinen. This is usedto make the clothes, then the remaininglinen, youlooked at the situationto divideagain, everyone madetwohempcloth shoesagain. Understood? After youcomplete the matter, toldmeagain, yourname. Ifyourthismattercannot handle, did not have the meansto appearbeforemeagain, Iwill not record the name of uselessslave.”
“这里有三千米的麻布。”贝塔看着青壮男子,然后指着驴车说道:“你组织好,无论男女老少,每人可以获得三米的麻布。这是用来做衣服的,然后剩下的麻布,你再看情况分了,每人再做两双麻布鞋。明白了吗?等你把事情做好后,再来告诉我,你的名字。因为如果你连这点事情都办不好,就没有办法再出现在我面前了,我不会去记无用奴隶的名字。”Thisyoungmanwas shocked, hesome little timedigests the words that Betaspoke: „Lord...... The people, yousaid,each of uscandividetothreemeterslinenmakes the clothes?”
这青壮男子愣住了,他好一会才消化完贝塔所说的话:“主……人,你是说,我们每个人都可以分到三米的麻布来做衣服?”„Mywordsonlysaid.”
“我的话只说一遍。”
After Betaspoke, lefthere. Heisintentionallyso, ifbecausewantsto makethisgroup of slavesworkforhim, hemustresult to create an image of being impartial in administering rewards and punishments. ThisandmanagesTempleto be different, comes the Templeperson, isbeliever, buttheseare the slave, the slave the community that is easyto explode, wantsto usethemreasonably, mustresult inachieves a carrot, a big stickis good.贝塔说完话后,就离开了这里。他是故意如此,因为要想让这群奴隶为他工作,他就必须得树立起一个赏罚分明的形象。这和管理神殿不同,来神殿的人,都是信徒,而这些是奴隶,奴隶是最容易爆动的群体,想要合理地使用他们,就必须得做到一手胡萝卜,一手大棒才行。Hereturns to the hotel, hadJessicato chat a meetingwithShirley, thenstartedto sleep.
他回到旅馆中,和雪莉还有洁西卡聊了一会,便开始睡觉。Has rested the half of the day, whenafternoontime, hewent tothatcavernagain.
休息了半天,等到下午的时候,他再去了那片洞穴。Insideslaves, almost everybody has worn the newhempcotton garment. Becausethere isclothes, theyno longerthoughtcoldly, then3322dispersing, startedto chat. The peopleknow the sense of honor, hadclothesto obstruct the bodyandresisting the cold, numbcolor in theireyeshas disappeared.
里面的奴隶们,几乎人人都穿上了新的麻布衣。因为有了衣服,他们不再觉得冷了,便3322散开,开始聊天。人知廉耻,有了衣服遮身和抗寒,他们眼中的麻木之色去消了许多。SeesBetato come, theseslavesgatheredspontaneouslyinone.
见到贝塔过来,这些奴隶们自发地就聚在了一起。
The youngman who in the morningthatstandsstandsin the forefront.
早上那个站出来的青壮男子站在最前面。
The Betafinger/refershe, said: „Didwell, youcansayownnamenowloudly.”贝塔指指他,说道:“干得不错,现在你可以大声地说出自己的名字了。”„IcalledRoyde.”
“我叫罗伊德。”„Is very good.”Betawas commending the opposite party, thenalsoasked: „Youcome, Ihaveothermatters to giveyou.”
“很好。”贝塔称赞着对方,然后又问道:“你过来,我有其它事情要交给你。”Roydearrives at the Betafront.罗伊德走到贝塔的面前。Thisperson must be bigger than Betasteadily, the complexionlooks that is also very firm and resolute. Maypersonlike this, in front ofBetaonlybe ablehumble/despiseGongqu the knee, heeven unable to look straight ahead the eye of Betatruly. Because ofhisback, has the slaveengraved inscription. This is usedto control the method of slave. In the engraved inscriptionhas a spiritto suggestmagic, will lethave the person of thistype of engraved inscription, slowlybecomesdoes not dareto opposewith the master.
这人长得要比贝塔高大,脸色看着也很坚毅。可这样的人,在贝塔面前只能卑躬曲膝,他甚至无法真正地直视贝塔的眼睛。因为他的背后,有奴隶铭文。这是用来控制奴隶的手段。铭文中有种精神暗示魔法,会让拥有这种铭文的人,慢慢变得不敢与主人作对。Naturally, thisis onlyidealcondition. If the hatred in slaveheartare too many, lightdepends on the slaveengraved inscription, does not have the meansto suppressin the slaveheart the evil intention.
当然,这只是理想的状态。如果奴隶心中的仇恨太多,光靠奴隶铭文,是没有办法镇压奴隶心中恶意的。Betavisitshim, puts out30gold coinsfromairbornebackpack, said: „Is takingthesemoney, takesseveralpeople, goes to the streetto buyseveralcar(riage)dry rationsto come back. Tomorrowyoumustwithme, leavethiscitytogether. Goes toanotherplace, ifon the roadyouhave starved to death, mayhave nothing to dowithme, mymoneyare in any case many, at the worstbuysa group ofslavesagain. Right. Should betterbuymanyseveralspatialdonkey cartsagain, is usedto carrytheseold people.”贝塔看着他,从空中背包中拿出30枚金币,说道:“拿着这些钱,带上几个人,去街上买几车干粮回来。明天你们就要和我一起出发,离开这座城市。去另外一个地方,如果路上你们饿死了,可与我无关,反正我钱多,大不了再买一批奴隶。对了。最好再买多几辆空驴车,用来载那些老人。”Roydereceived30gold coins, heasked: „Whycanbe goodtousso?”罗伊德接过30枚金币,他问道:“为什么要对我们这么好?”„BecauseImustmakeyouhelpmework.”Betaspoke thoughtlesslyto reply: „TomorrowIcancome, naturallyyoucanescapein the evening. So long asruns100kilometersfar, Ido not have the meansto wantyourliveswith the magicengraved inscription, thereforeyoucanconsiderthisplan.”
“因为我得让你们帮我干活。”贝塔随口答道:“明天我会过来,当然你们晚上可以逃跑。只要跑出100公里远,我就没有办法用魔法铭文要你们的命,所以你们可以考虑一下这个计划。”YorkClanallpeopleheard the Betawords, butinanypersoneyesdid not havethatto fearhope and mighty wavesa little.
约克族所有人都听到贝塔的话了,但任何人眼中没有那怕有一点的希望和波澜。
The Roydeforced smilesaid: „Masteryoudo not crack a joke, ifwecanrun away, alreadyran away.”罗伊德苦笑道:“主人你别开玩笑了,如果我们能逃,早就逃了。”„Is the joke, actuallyyou are very clear.”Betaspoke, left. Leaves behindRoyde in same place, the expressionis unpredictable.
“是不是玩笑,其实你心里很清楚。”贝塔说完话,就离开了。留下罗伊德在原地,表情变化莫测。
After crossingsome little time, Roydeturns around, is shoutingto saytoownclansman: „Ise, QiaoBa, yourthreecome outwithme. Otherpeopleare waitingsame place, ifsomepeoplewantto escape, shouldtake advantage of the present. Ournew hosts, had allowedyouto escapea moment agoactually, buthas not stated clearly. ButIdo not wantyousuchto do, because after the slaveexits, stillslave, butweactuallynotnecessarilyagaincanrun into such goodmaster.”
过了好一会后,罗伊德转身,对着自己的族人大喊道:“艾斯,斯摩克,乔巴,你们三个跟我出来。其它人在原地等着,如果有人想逃跑,最好就趁现在。刚才我们的新主人,其实已经允许你们逃跑了,只是没有明说。但我个人不愿意你们这么做,因为奴隶出去之后,依然还是奴隶,可我们却不一定再能遇到这么好的主人。”At this time, an old personhas stood. Onhimwearsbrand-newhempcotton garment, thensaid: „Royde, IamVillage Chief, nowthispositionsuch being the caseis important, thenIagaincontinuedto take office, youworked asvice-Village Chief.”
这时候,一个老人站了起来。他身上穿着崭新的麻布衣,而后说道:“罗伊德,我原来是村长,现在这个位置既然如此重要,那么我就再继续上任好了,你就当副村长吧。”Royde is actually the ridiculesmilesto make noise: „Old fogy, whyourYorkClanwill falltopresentthisregion, withyouhavedirectlydid not have the relations. Do youalsowantto makemegive back to you position of Village Chiefunexpectedlyagain? Otherpeople, whichare casualto be able, whenVillage Chief, butis onlyyounot to be good. Youcanlookcame out, ournew hosts is a biggood person, is definitely promisingwithhim, Icannot look?”罗伊德却是讥讽地笑出声来:“老家伙,我们约克族为什么会落到现在这个境地,还不是与你有直接的有关系。你居然还想让我把村长之位再还给你?其它人,随便哪一个都可以当村长,但唯独你不行。你能看得出来了,我们的新主人是个大好人,跟着他肯定有前途,难道我看不出来?”„Royde, you!”Thisoldpopularityresulted in the mouthquicklyto be crooked.
“罗伊德,你!”这老人气得嘴都快歪了。Roydeactuallydoes not leavehim, leadingthreepeopleto leave.罗伊德却是不离他,带着三个人就离开。Threepeoplearrive atoutside the cavern, theylookcrowd that on the streetcomes and goes, the vision is extremely greedy.
三人出到洞穴外,他们看着街上来来往往的人群,目光极是贪婪。Theywere closedin the prisoner's cage, the clothes that nearlya halfyears, let alonehave wornresult indirtydo not make sense, the thing that eatscontinuallyare miserable, every daywill beto drinkbatters, makingthemnot starve to death, will not havemanystrengthsto cause trouble.
他们被关在囚笼中,已经有近半年了,别说穿的衣服脏得不像话,连吃的东西都少得可怜,每天都是喝些面糊,让他们不会饿死,却也没有多少力气闹事。One of themapproachesRoyde, asked: „Big brother, is our mustescape?”
其中一人靠近罗伊德,问道:“大哥,我们这是要逃跑吗?”„Runs? Wherecanrun up togoes?”Roydelooks atthisman, gets angryhimnot to struggle saying: „Ournew hostsaredemonMage, the notecalculate that does not use the backengraved inscription, he can only look foruswithmagic, thenmassacres. Wediedwere unimportant, ifimplicatedothervillagers, what to doyoudid think should?”
“跑?能跑到哪里去?”罗伊德看着身边这个男人,怒其不争地说道:“我们的新主人是魔法师,注算不利用背后的铭文,他光用魔法都能把我们找出来,然后杀掉。我们死了不要紧,如果连累到其它村民,你们觉得应该怎么办?”Threepeopleallarespeechless.
三人皆是无语。„Isaida moment ago, thisis a goodmaster. Thereforewe must manageattractively the matter that heexplains, strengthensourcomponentsinhisheartas far as possible. Thisisourfuturelivelihoods.”
“我刚才说了,这是一个好主人。所以我们必须得把他交待的事情办得漂漂亮亮的,尽量在他心中加强我们的份量。这才是我们未来的生存之道。”Roydesaid that thissaying, then sped upwalkspeed.罗伊德说完这话,然后便加快了行走的速度。
