Chapter 16 A job

Mr. Pi opened his mouth and gave a guide, and then fell silent and did not continue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Instead, the soft-voiced man received his signal, took over again, and continued: "Mr. Pi has received a commission. ”

Leah leaned sideways to find a comfortable position.

The thin voice that was about to start talking glared at her, that guy who was so lazy, it was really not that he didn't treat himself as an outsider.

There was a sound of a thick voice calling for the door outside the carriage, and soon the gate was opened, and the carriage began to move again, slowly entering the city. Leah saw through the cracks in the wooden planks of the windows that there were uniformed handles inside the city, and as soon as the carriage entered, they moved to close the gates again.

The doors of the houses were mostly closed on the street, and after looking at Leah for a while, she felt a little bored, turned her head and body, and continued to listen to the whisper.

"This commission is not really a commission. The thin voice paused deliberately, "The specific content requirements of that family are that they hope we find an attendant, and the more the better, that is for tomorrow's preparation, and today happens to be the final time bottom line." ”

"With you, we've only found five. He glanced at the girl who was comfortably leaning back in the chair.

"What is a squire? It can't be a slave in disguise, right? Hey, I don't understand what you think, and taking such an elegant name sounds like knowing that it is illegal and unruly, but it has changed its face and is doing it again. Leah sighed, smoothed her tattered linen clothes, and her face was vicissitudes, looking worried about the country and the people.

looked at her speechlessly, such a small thing is so connected to the overall situation, I don't know if she is pretending, or does she really have such a broad mind at a young age?

So, he went on to explain, "It's so easy for a slave to sign a contract. Unless they voluntarily enter into a contract with their master, and at least under the supervision of the lord or above, they can determine the benefits of the contract. ”

At the same time, the slave is not a slave of the master for generations, only from him onwards, one generation after another, and when the slave's children are minors, they must be guaranteed food for survival, their learning needs, and when they reach adulthood, they are automatically converted to free status, and if they are willing to leave a low-level household, they need to be released immediately and given a basic monthly salary of one month. ”

"So, slave treatment is actually good?" Leah blinked.

"No, once a slave treaty is signed, it is the harshest punishment for the slave, and the slave belongs to the master for the rest of his life, and the master can do anything to the slave! ”

The thin-voiced man paused, a threatening expression. "You will be bound by all the slave treaties, and you will not be able to resist or run away. Once the master issued an escape warrant, the soldiers were to arrest him. ”

"This is the most terrible kind of private punishment. The thin voice suddenly glared at the lazy Leah, and at this time he realized that he had unconsciously said a lot of irrelevant words, so he asked Leah a little viciously, "What do you want to hear!"

"No, uncle, you told it yourself. Leah grinned, "I didn't ask you to tell you a lot about slaves, Rory himself." However, it is all up to you, I have gained a lot of knowledge! Why don't you tell me about other interesting things, uncle? For example, where are you from, what you want to do before, etc., tell me about it. I think it's even more interesting!"

This is obviously to probe their bottom! The thin voice did not burst out under Mr. Pi's gaze, and Mr. Pi acquiesced, what could he say, so he just squeezed out a sentence from his mouth, "You little girl, you are really restless." ”

"Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you. He took a thin breath.

Seeing that his face calmed down slightly, Leah asked, "Isn't the squire you talking about having a very low status, and it seems that the status of the slave is higher than that of a slave, why do you still ask for it?" "The squire seems to be only a superior existence than the slave, and there should be no need to spend so much effort to entrust others to find it, is it difficult to recruit workers here, and there is also such a job as an intermediary.

Lia Lang Lang said: "You see I'm so small, my body is so weak, I can't run much faster......" She began to talk about her own shortcomings, as if she had shaken out all the weaknesses that she couldn't do. Listening to the thin throat was stunned, could it really be that they made a mistake in judgment, and in fact, they shouldn't have brought this child back?

However, a thin voice interrupted Leah and told her to stop, "Do you know about the recent beast tide in Youtan City?" he suddenly asked rhetorically.

"I don't know. Leah thought as if she had just heard it.

"Also, how can a little beggar like you, who sleeps on the edge of the city, know how big things are going on in the city" The thin voice seemed to have seized the opportunity to fight back, sighed, and shook his head.

Hearing the word beggar, Leah was indignant, she was a dignified seven-foot man, and she didn't want to do this, how could she bear to be humiliated like this?

"Oh, with your poor sour look, where can you sleep when you enter the city. He looked at Leah in a thin voice, covered in mud, and said in sackcloth, and at a glance he knew that he was not a rich person.

"Cut. Don't bully young people into poverty. Leah took a sip.

The thin voice glanced at her with disdain, obviously she was a girl, and she was still a teenager. However, at Mr. Pi's suggestion, he stopped arguing with Leah and continued: "You are about to enter the Mivi family, although you are only an attendant, they are Mr. Pi's friends in the past, so some ordinary information, we still hope you can be clear." I hope you don't do it rashly. ”

"Why don't I do it?" Leah's momentum came up. What can you bear with me then? It's her going to that family, not Mr. Pi, and they will naturally not be able to supervise her when they get there, so they can let go and run away.

And in the future, the owner of this house will dismiss her and dismiss her, although it will be a little embarrassing, but she will be free, thinking of this, Leah couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Listening to what Leah said, his thin voice was not arrogant or impatient, but very calm, and he said, "No, you only need to know this information. We just don't want you to be crippled and lose Mr. Pi's face after you enter the Mi Wei family and ask questions like a fool. ”

"What! and inhumanity!" Leah was stunned, it turned out to be such a thing, and just thought that the other party was kind and wanted to tell her the information. According to the thin voice, after the incident, Mr. Pi was at most embarrassed, but she was different, she actually had to be beaten and disabled?

It was too far from what he had thought, and it was completely different!!Just as he was about to open his mouth to question, he continued to speak in a thin voice, and he began to tell Leah what he wanted to know.

"The recent beast tide in Youtan City is extremely fierce, but most of the warriors in the city are unwilling to be captured by the monsters, so they spontaneously resist the invasion, and the final success is that they repelled the monsters and protected all the civilians in the city. There was a hint of pity on his face in his thin voice, and he seemed to have something tragic to tell.

"Among them, the Mi Wei family is the top existence in the city, and it is the light attribute of justice, so they rushed to the front of the brigade and acted as a pioneer, so in this beast tide, they were also the most traumatized, many strong people in the family were seriously injured, and even two third-order powerhouses fell, the Mi Wei family has always crushed the magic beast with its strength, although it is incredible, but it did happen that there was a family tragedy that had never happened before. ”

"Therefore, affected by this beast tide, the demand for the family in Mi Wei's family has increased suddenly. ”

Leah was a little puzzled, and while sighing at the Mivi family, she asked suspiciously: "Won't the Mivi family directly recruit the so-called family members from the city? That kind of profession should be a relatively low-level existence." Grab a handful on the street, anyone can do it. ”

Thin throat shook his head, "There are adventure unions in the city that need personnel, which are used to make a large number of tools and weapons to equip and strengthen combat effectiveness, and the Cane Hall Guild also needs a large number of people to prepare potions to rescue the wounded, and at the same time, the city also needs to mobilize personnel to strengthen the walls and houses. ”

"Although the Mi Wei family is currently in great need of manpower, they have given up recruiting for the sake of the overall situation. He sighed in a thin voice, "It's mainly for the sake of a few children in the family, and there is no one to take care of them after they are withdrawn, and the success rate of recruiting the attendants is too low, and the children who are just about to enter the primary department at home need to grow up more quickly..."

Before he finished the previous sentence, he interrupted with a sigh, "The Mi Wei family is really not easy, as a top family, they also do their best to take care of everything in the city. ”

So, at this time, Mr. Pi made a request to the housekeeper of the Mivi family, hoping to help his former friend. He looked at Mr. Pi in a thin voice, "There is also a commission that is not a commission." ”

Leah nodded, "Is there anything the squire has to do?"

Leah suddenly had a little affection for the Mivi family, she was so brave and fearless, giving up her small self to become a big me, she didn't laugh and play, she asked seriously in her throat, looking at her expression, she really decided to be a small attendant in the Mivi family.

Mr. Pi smiled mysteriously at the place where Leah was not paying attention, and when he didn't open his mouth, he said flatly: "It's just to clean the house every day, help the employer serve tea and water, or sometimes accompany the employer for a while." ”

"Isn't that similar to the family, what's the difference? Leah muttered. Obviously, the two of them verbally distinguish between the family and the attendant, but until now, in fact, the methods of work are similar. Is it actually a different job for the housekeepers? Did she misunderstand?

Leah was slightly confused.

"When you enter the Mivi family as an acolyte, we will ask you to sign an agreement that will not change for one year. If you breach the contract, you need to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages to the other party!" said in a thin voice. "But rest assured, after signing the agreement, you will never go hungry and have no place to sleep every day, these two are the minimum guaranteed needs. ”

"Oh, that's fine. Leah smiled secretly, in fact, before entering the city gate, she was still worried about how to find a job in the city, how to mix in the city for a while first, and get familiar with it. And now, the one-year work is delivered to the door in vain, which is so easy, and sleeping and eating are solved at the same time, no problem!

However, Leah forced a smile on her face and didn't show it, she wanted to be able to fight for more benefits in the subsequent negotiations. If she is happy now, doesn't it mean that she is satisfied?

Mr. Pi glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "It's here." Leah. ”

"So fast?" Leah was stunned by Mr. Pi's words, and the time spent in the carriage felt like it hadn't been long before she had arrived at the Mivi family?

Thin throat got out of the car in two steps, stood outside pulling the curtain, glanced at her, and urged: "It's late, they still need to rest, hurry up." ”

So, Leah had to dispel other thoughts and got out of the car.

In front of you is an eight-door door with many shapes carved into Leah's intelligible shapes, and its perimeter is fixed with metal. Probably because at night, there are no large vehicles entering side by side, so the doors that open are only the two in the middle.

On the edge of the open gate stood two big men with their backs on their backs, and the coachman had already stepped forward to negotiate with them.

The eight-open gate is extended around the perimeter of the two-person high stone wall, which surrounds the courtyard, separating the inner courtyard from the outside world. At regular intervals on the top of the stone wall, a white transparent Mitsubishi cone will be erected and fixed, as the boundary ceiling light of the wall, and they emit a little white light outward, which is very gorgeous and beautiful.

Walking a few steps away, you can see the spires of the houses within the walls, which are Chinese and somewhat inclined to European architectural style, the most conspicuous thing is that above the spires of each house, there is a light point that shimmers with milky white light, which is clearly visible under the night.

However, because it is too far away to see the shape, it is impossible to tell what material it is. Even so, you can faintly feel that it is extraordinary.

A thin voice pushed Leah, who was observing the building, and said, "What are you looking at stupidly, you went in." ”

Leah came back to her senses and followed her voice towards the gate, and in just a moment, the rough voice that had been talking to the two big men and the carriage he was pulling did not know where it went, and looking around, Mr. Pi was nowhere to be seen, as if they had already entered the courtroom.

Hurriedly following the whisper, they entered the door, and the road was very clear, and in the middle was where they walked, a stone road paved with large rocks, and there was only one path, which was connected into the passage under the eaves. That is to say, enter under the eaves, pass through this passage, and then go to the room where you should go.

On both sides of the stone road is a neatly trimmed, green meadow, and there are flowers planted inside, which is very beautiful, but Leah has never been exposed to any varieties of flowers in the previous world, and she basically can't distinguish how many flowers she has, so she doesn't know a single flower here.

Look from the meadow into the distance, where crops resemble bamboo.

"Why are there so few people here? Leah looked at it for a while, and finally found that except for the two big men standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the others could not be seen.

Walking into the corridor, the doors of every hall you see are open, although the lights are on, but there is no one inside, passing by the other rooms side by side, they are also empty. Leah asked again in confusion, "Shouldn't they all have gone to sleep already?" ”

"They're already waiting in the side hall on the right. The thin voice did not speak any more along the way, allowing Leah to ask him questions, and finally brought Leah to the room at the end of the left, and then nodded to the closed door in front of him, and continued: "Mr. Pi is already waiting for you inside, you can go in by yourself." ”

"Hey, uncle, ......" Leah didn't have time to answer the question in her thin voice.

He turned and ran away.
