Chapter 103 Sadness
The billowing smoke was like his already anxious heart, bringing more and more uneasiness. Maximus raised his last hope, roared, and let the tired horse run again.

"Plop!" Halfway through the journey, Maximus fell to the ground following the exhausted and collapsed horse. Exhausted physically and mentally, he tightened his mind and hoped to turn into a string and climbed up again, walking heavily. He stumbled and continued to run forward.

The land that should be full of crops in my memory has become charred black, and several corpses can even be seen scattered among it, exuding bursts of burning smell, replacing the strong fruity aroma that should be present in this season.

The ponies running in the fields have long since disappeared, and the grapes and olives in the fields have been burned by the fire.

His home is ruined!
With only hope left, Maximus ran towards his home, but when he saw the two corpses, one big and one small, hanging in front of the door, the string called hope was tense in his mind. , and finally broke quietly, his world was suddenly dark!
"Bang!" As if his head was hit hard, Maximus fell to the ground, splashing a large amount of dust, and knelt down humbly on the ground, as if praying to God that these things were not true, two lines Burning tears flowed slowly from his eyes and down his dirty, dusty face.

One step, two steps...

When he finally touched his wife's cold body, his world finally collapsed...

Holding his wife's legs, his tears were as hot as flames, falling on his heart that had lost hope, making his whole heart become cold. He was in extreme pain, and his whole face was distorted by sadness. But he couldn't cry, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he just whimpered like a dying animal.

At this moment, the hope he had always insisted on living was trampled on and shattered. He regarded his family as more important than his own life and felt that he was already dead...

His empty and numb eyes were filled with deathly gray. He numbly untied his wife and child, numbly buried them both, and numbly fell in front of the tomb. He just wanted to die in such a numb way.

The scorching sun shone on the comatose Maximus with an invigorating temperature, making him, who was already physically and mentally exhausted due to injuries, rush towards death faster.

However, maybe he has not avenged his revenge, maybe God wants him to continue to suffer, or maybe it is because the time for him to reunite with his family and brothers has not yet come, so he was rescued by a passing slave caravan and brought him away from here.

……

At the end of the season, there is no rest. Although he has a map, you can expect how detailed the route can be drawn on that small map. In this era, there is no one person within a hundred miles, so he can only identify While drawing the route on the map, he was looking for the traces left by Maximus, so under such circumstances, he was always slower than Maximus.

Slower than Maximus, this situation is naturally understood at the end of the season, but there is nothing he can do about it. He can only hope that Maximus can arrive in time to save his family.

But when he reached the point marked on the map and saw a messy scene, he finally sighed.

"Is it still slow? So where are the Maximus people now?" He murmured with a sad look in his eyes. At the end of the season, you can imagine how heartbreaking this man who always puts his family in his heart and regards it as his spiritual pillar is feeling. lung.

Looking at his horse, which was about to lose its balance, he tied it to a half-burned fruit tree, let it eat the only leaves left on the tree, regained its strength, and began to search for Maxi. Ms.

No no!
At the end of the season, I searched all the places near Maximus's house, but found no trace of Maximus at all, but saw a large and a small two soil bumps without tombstones near Maximus's house.

"Could it be his wife and son!" Ji Mo's face darkened, and he bent down facing the two dirtbags.

"If it was Maximus who buried him, where is he now?" Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Ji Mo guessed in his mind and walked slowly, trying to find some traces.

Finally, with his hard work, he found a series of latent marks left by the wheels near the hill, a hundred meters away from Maximus' home.

"There are only these traces around here, so I can only try to chase them!" Ji Mo pressed his forehead. He couldn't find any other clues, so he made this decision that was almost as good as his character.

Because he was afraid that the marks left by the wheels would disappear after a long time, at the end of the season, he could only lead the still tired horse and walk slowly to let it recover its strength.

But when he chased for more than ten kilometers, he found that the traces of tracking disappeared due to the terrain...

In desperation, Ji Mo, who had lost his direction, had to stop and take a rest first. He could still support him, but he had only one horse left, but he was too tired to walk because of the non-stop running.

At dawn the next day, Ji Mo mounted his horse, which had recovered its strength after resting for several hours, and checked around the area. After spending a lot of time, he finally discovered a small village several kilometers away.

And after staying in the small village for a while, he finally got a piece of useful news.

Their village is the only supply point within a radius of dozens of kilometers. Basically, all caravans passing by will come to them to replenish their supplies. From yesterday to now, only one slave caravan has passed by their village and replenished some food. , rushed towards Zukaba.

"Zukaba!"

Ji Mo murmured, and after asking for the route, he slowly left on his horse.

……

When Maximus woke up again, he found himself on a flatbed truck. His mind was in a mess, as if many things were bumping into his mind. He subconsciously touched the wound on his shoulder and found that the wound had already After being treated by someone, he just felt something crawling around his reddened and smelly wound.

If he had the strength to get up now, he would definitely see that it was a kind of white bug, also called fly maggot...

At this time, a dark-skinned man appeared in his field of vision, showed his white teeth, and said: "They will heal their wounds, and don't die, they will take you for a lion!".

Maximus opened his mouth, his lips were covered with layers of white skin due to the lack of water. After the black man fed him some water, the weak Maximus passed out again.

The caravan traveled all the way, through the desolate Gobi, and arrived at their destination, Zukama in Rome, and he had already figured out his current situation, a slave who was about to be sold like an animal.
