Despair shrouded everyone. They were powerless to resist and could only resign themselves to their fate. The tiring work and the scorching sun seemed to want to squeeze every bit of water out of their bodies.
The young man shrank his shoulders in sorrow, trying to bring some comfort to himself. However, the self-consolation was so illusory.
His chapped lips, his bruised palms, and sweat all over his body became a kind of torture under the scorching sun.
A worn-out goatskin water bag was handed to the young man. The young man looked up with reddened eyes and found that the young man who had been silent all this while had actually handed the water to him. He looked at the young man nervously and thanked him in a low voice. Then, he took the water bag and sipped from it.
The young man retracted his gaze. The dust covered his face, but from his sharp eyes, it could be seen that he was different. Most of the people's eyes were numb. Only his eyes were firm. The young man couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The young man came with him. He had been here for half a month, but he didn't say anything. He just worked silently. The number of times the whip landed on him was also lesser. He would even occasionally help a weak companion like the young man. He was very caring, but he wasn't good with words.
"Big Brother, thank you." The young man drank the water and handed the water bag back to the young man. The young man nodded and didn't say anything.
On the other side, the supervisor had already started to urge them. In less than ten minutes, everyone was once again in the painful work.
They worked from noon until late at night. Finally, they could drag their tired bodies to the palace and sleep.
The young man woke up to relieve himself in the middle of the night, but he suddenly saw a tall figure appear behind the palace. He was slightly surprised. Looking at the figure under the moonlight, he was slightly shocked. The other party turned around, and the young man was so scared that he froze on the spot.
"Big … Big Brother …" The young man looked at the man who walked out of the palace in surprise. That man was the one who gave him water today.
The young man also noticed the appearance of the young man. He frowned slightly.
The young man was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He unconsciously looked to the side and walked stiffly to the outside of the palace.
"I'm afraid I slept too much. Why would someone come out at this time?" The young man muttered in a low voice. It was unknown whether he was talking to himself or the young man.
The killing intent that appeared in the young man's eyes suddenly disappeared after the young man's actions. He chuckled lightly and his tall figure silently disappeared without a trace outside the palace, blending into the night.
After the young man left, the young man came back to his senses. He swallowed his saliva and looked at where the young man had been standing. He touched his chest.
If the young man could escape from such a miserable place, perhaps it would be a form of relief. The young man had already made up his mind that he would never mention to anyone what he had seen tonight. He would treat the encounter just now as a dream and let it disappear from his memory.
The night shrouded the land. In the silent wilderness, a black shadow moved forward at an extremely fast speed. From the wilderness to the mountain forest at the side, the black shadow merged into the forest. With a few leaps, he scuttled to the side of a mountain spring. He looked around to make sure that no one was following him. Only then did he walk into the small waterfall of the mountain spring, completely disappearing without a trace.
