Chang Li just lived in Taoyuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Taoyuan shelters people who can't be tolerated in the world, although most of them are ordinary people, but there are also many who have committed crimes, although Taoyuan doesn't care about this, as long as you don't commit crimes here, you won't be held accountable. But after all, it is a scar that many people are reluctant to mention. Over time, they naturally have their own set of rules, if they don't mention it voluntarily, then whether they use a pseudonym or a fake identity, they won't delve into it, and no one will explore their past. They just need to live all over again with the identity they want.

So Chang Li was a lot easier, he was originally thinking about how to plan to give himself a new identity.

However, although Taoyuan is relaxed, there are also many rules. First of all, no one is allowed to leave Taoyuan without the permission of the goddess. No matter what status you have outside, what prominent position you have, you are an ordinary person in Taoyuan, you have to work for food in the same area, and newcomers can give certain preferential treatment, but this is credit, which needs to be repaid, and no one can get it for nothing. Taoyuan gives the fields, organizes hunting, and only one-tenth of the harvest is handed over as a common material in the village, and if there are other crafts, it can also be exchanged for a bite of food. But if you want to wait for someone else's offering, then even if you starve to death, no one will look at it.

It is because of this rule of Taoyuan that the fallen nobles have suffered a lot, and these labors are very easy for the civilian slaves at the bottom, but for those who have never worked, it is simply miserable.

Looking at the young man in front of the window who was crying and wiping away tears and begging for food, but was turned away by everyone, fell on the street, Chang Li also closed the window like a neighbor. If the man woke up, he would leave on his own, freeze to death and starve to death, and the village chief would have someone drag him out and bury him. Taoyuan does not prohibit helping each other, but the young man Changli knows a little bit even if he has not been here for a long time, he was originally a swinger, he can't pick his shoulders and can't lift his hands, he doesn't learn anything, he doesn't know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, he is all fine, he farms and plants waste, breeds and raises dead, and Taoyuan Village is not big. Naturally, everyone knows what kind of virtue he is, no one's food falls from the sky, and who will raise such a scoundrel with the food he has worked so hard to harvest? Taoyuan can only guarantee that those who rely on themselves can survive and have food, but even those who can't feed themselves don't have so much extra kindness.

There were also a few children in the house, ranging from five or six, seven or eight to eleven or twelve, both boys and girls, who had come to learn from him. Because the founder himself is a woman, Taoyuan does not prohibit women from being educated, and even if they learn well, the probability of being taken away by someone sent by the goddess to further their studies and entrusted with important tasks is the same. Chang Li's family used to be generous, and his writing and arithmetic skills were not bad, so there was no problem in teaching these children. His body is very weak, and he can barely eat in Taoyuan, and it is unlikely that he wants to have a good life. In these years, who hasn't had something wrong with him? It's good to be alive.

Chang Li also inquired about the whereabouts of his family during this time, but he had never heard of human poison here. And if you look at the scale of this village, it can't be called a city, and it is far from the place described by his family in the letter, so he also guessed that Taoyuan is just a code name, and Taoyuan where his family once lived is not here. But since the code names are so similar, it's obviously nonsense to say that it's okay. So Chang Li tried his best to inquire about the whereabouts of the goddess. But he didn't dare to blatantly say his festival with Ziyan, otherwise with the momentum of Taoyuan people taking her as a fairy, even if he offended Qin Shihuang outside, no one would say a word more, but if he offended Ziyan, it would be a proper death for himself.

"Sir, what's wrong with the guy outside?" It was a girl with pigtails, seven or eight years old, who could only be regarded as not ugly, with limbs like bamboo, yellow hair, and only a pair of eyes that were still smart, but she was the best among the seven or eight children in the room.

"Do you still need to ask? Eighty percent died of starvation. The boy who spoke was the boy who accosted Chang Li when he just woke up. He was also the oldest of the children in the room.

"Taoyuan is also starving to death, so haven't you thought about leaving?" Chang Li asked.

"It's different, sir." The boy said, "There are no complicated taxes in Taoyuan, there is no heavy forced labor, as long as those who are willing to work will not starve to death, why should we go?" Outside, but there is war everywhere. ”

"Yes, sir, the goddess said that Taoyuan should be so that the cultivator has his field, and if he is sick, he can have a doctor, and he can go to school, but I couldn't imagine such a day." The children in the house are all commoners and even slaves, but they have a deep understanding of this world at a young age, and they talk nonsense.

There was a lot of chatter in the room, but the sound of the bell outside was distinct.

"Mr. Li, the village chief is asking us to gather." The teenager stood up and organized the children in the room to line up.

"Is this anything other than that?" Chang Li asked.

"I don't know, there is a big event in the village, and the village chief will ring the bell to let us go to the entrance of the village."

When they arrived, except for the peasants who had gone down to the fields, all the women and craftsmen who remained in the village had already arrived.

"Village Chief, what's wrong?" The boy asked when he arrived.

The village chief is a lean man in his thirties, a good worker, and he is also enthusiastic on weekdays, and he is still very supportive. But this time there was a young man about twenty years old standing on the high platform with him, and everyone who had stayed in this Taoyuan Village for a long time knew that this young man was originally from this village, and then he was picked up by someone sent by the goddess because he could read and write, but he didn't expect to come back now. Looking at the thick sheepskin jacket he was wearing, he was doing well.

The village chief saw that the people were almost there, and raised a roll of bamboo slips in his hand: "The cloud envoy has a notice to pass down, let this brother read it." ”

It didn't seem that it was the first time that the young man had done this kind of thing, his attitude was very calm, and he calmly greeted the villagers and took the bamboo slip, and read it aloud:

"Decree Taoyuan Village: Today, there are people from the Chang clan who instigated the head of his family to betray the goddess, intending to harm the goddess, causing trouble, making disrespectful remarks, and attempting to rape the woman, the evidence is conclusive! The goddess decided that Taoyuan was not in the Chang clan to protect her! Seventeen members of his clan have been expelled from Taoyuan! Three days later, all of them died in the mountains! It's not easy to survive in today's world! I hope everyone will take this as a warning! Don't repeat the mistakes of the past! ”
