7. LORD BAO

 

After Tang Kaiji left, Bao Ye immediately searched for all Tang Kaiji’s friends from Ugly slave’s memory, but none of his friends had the surname Bao, nor did anyone look similar to him.

However, his adoptive father once said that he resembled his grandfather. He also said that his mother was a real god, who came to the lower world in 2018, met his father who was only a demigod, and fell in love with his father and gave birth to him, but not long after he was born, his parents both died.

His adoptive father seldom mentioned his biological parents, like a taboo, he didn’t even mention his parents’ names. It wasn’t until his adoptive father passed away that he went to work in the world that he was lucky enough to hear the gods talk about his mother. It is said that his mother was a fairy from the Zisang family, named Zisang Yanruo. But Because his father committed a major crime and the whole family was implicated and killed.

Maybe it’s because of his father’s crime, the gods dare not mention his father’s name, only mentioned him by ‘that person’ instead of a name.

In addition, his adoptive father rarely mentioned his other good brothers, and only when get nostalgic would he talk about the slave world in detail.

“Little brother, you haven’t said your name yet.” Lao Liu interrupted Bao Ye’s memory.

Bao Ye subconsciously said his real name: “Bao Ye.”

Lao Liu was stunned: “Bao ye?”1Lao Liu mistook 宝烨（his real name ）for 宝爷 （meaning Lord Bao）

Bao Ye couldn’t help chuckling when he heard the familiar address, his former buddies use to call him that, and he didn’t correct Lao Liu’s misunderstanding.

Thinking of his brothers, his eyes darkened, and he raised his eyes to stare coldly at the sky above his head.

“Your name is really…” Lao Liu laughed amusedly, and said: “Actually, I know who you are, and I have heard about you.”

Bao Ye raised his eyebrows: “Then why did you ask my name.”

“I only know that you are ugly slave. I don’t know what your real name is. However, I know that your elder brother is Jin Lingrui. He is the boss of the southern district of Gongcheng. He is so capable that even some owners are afraid of him.” Everyone is saying that your elder brother has already met the conditions to go to the middle world, but he stayed in the lower world for you.”

Lao Liu envied: “You have a good elder brother.”

Bao Ye is not an ugly slave, so he didn’t reply.

But having said that, Jin Lingrui’s name seemed very familiar, he seems to have heard it somewhere.

Lao Liu took Bao Ye around the construction site, which was about 50,000 mu wide, and many slaves were moving back and forth to work on the construction site. Their skin was tanned as dark as charcoal, and their backs were sunburned, their lips were dry and cracked, but the deacon did not give them any water to drink.

Some female slaves went to work with their children on their backs. The children cried loudly because they couldn’t stand the heat. The deacon was annoyed, so he went up to them and whipped the woman, and the children cried even louder.

Seeing this scene, Bao Ye couldn’t help frowning.

Lao Liu sighed, drove the car around, picked up a few rubbish, and took Bao Ye back to the health department to wait their dinner.

The Health department’s dinner consists of meat, vegetables, and soup, which is not bad compared to only a steamed bun and a bowl of water at noon.

After Bao Ye had dinner, he got into the big truck that came to pick him up, passed by the factory where he worked before, and took Du Peng and the others back by the way.

The slaves hadn’t eaten yet, so they were so hungry that their stomachs kept rumbling, like a symphony. As soon as this person’s stomach finished, the next person’s stomach rumbled, just like a cart full of pigeons.

Bao Ye couldn’t bear it any longer, and burst out laughing, and immediately met with everyone’s glares.

Bao Ye squinted his eyes, and thought, since he plans to stay, He might as well tame them first.
