Chapter 64: Human life is like mud
Due to the large number of eyes and ears in Xianchi City, it is inconvenient for Yunhe to explain to them in person in front of the public.
Yunhe asked the young man, "What's your name?"
The boy replied: "My surname is You, and my single name is a Li, the Dawn of Dawn." ”
You Li's appearance is not only the most outstanding, but also the most calm among these people, with maturity and wit beyond his peers, which makes Yunhe look very satisfied. This is why Yunhe will take a fancy to You Li at first sight.
"You Li, good name. Yunhe smiled, took out a silver ticket from his arms, handed it to You Li, and said, "You Li, you first take everyone to find a place nearby to eat, and then buy some clothes that fit for everyone, and then go to buy three carriages, and go back to the dock to find me in an hour." I want to take a walk around the neighborhood. ”
"Okay, thank you host. You Li respectfully agreed.
Among the group of slaves, the ten-year-old girl happily ran to You Li's side, holding You Li innocently and smiling: "Brother Li, great! I finally don't have to go hungry! I still have beautiful new clothes to wear!"
You Li bowed his head dotingly and said, "Juan'er, this is thanks to the master's kindness, and besides, you have to behave in front of the master......"
"Uh-huh!" the little girl responded happily and smiled brightly at Yunhe: "Thank you, master, you are such a good person!"
"No thanks. Yunhe said indifferently. But there is some emotion in my heart.
Just one meal, one piece of clothing, can make these people so satisfied, how much suffering have they suffered......
Yunhe asked You Li and the little girl curiously: "You Li, did you know each other before?"
You Li's face sank, and he said sadly: "The ten of us are all from the same village. A few days ago, the slave traders entered the village and selected ten of us from dozens of villagers, who were good-looking, and the rest were all killed by the slave traders. These hateful slave traders set fire to the village before they died...... Not only have we lost our loved ones, but we have also lost our homes......"
Speaking of the pain, You Li's eyes were red, and the other servants all lowered their heads and wept softly when they heard You Li recount the tragic experience.
"Is that slave trader the stall owner in the market just now?" asked Yunhe angrily.
Just to capture ten slaves, to destroy the entire village, this is really inhumane!
Yunhe now regrets giving the stall owner a million. If I had known about this just now, I would not have spared the stall owner.
You Li shook his head and said, "He is already a terminal merchant, and we have already resold it twice before we were transported to the dock of Xianchi City. ”
Yunhe asked, "Then do you remember what those people looked like?"
You Li said sadly: "Those people are worried that we will take revenge, so they are all masked. We don't know who they are. Besides, this kind of situation is not uncommon in remote areas outside the city of Xianchi. Every day, I don't know how many villages repeat the same tragedy. ”
When Yunhe heard this, he was both angry and sad.
In the final analysis, this kind of thing happens because of the laws of this kingdom. Here, the upper people are respected, the lower people are humbled, and the lower people are not even treated as human beings.
Now he found out that Fenglai Town, which was the farthest away from the Supreme Kingdom, was already a paradise for the people.
In a sense, the merchant Du Boming was already a good businessman who did good deeds and accumulated virtue compared to such slave traders. At least he was serious about doing silver mining business with Fenglai Valley, which led to the development of Fenglai Valley. Otherwise, with Du Boming's financial resources and background, he could easily wipe out Fenglai Valley and occupy the silver mine.
Even himself, he didn't use hard means to force himself to stay, but let himself go.
Now, he has only saved ten subordinates, but in the entire Supreme Kingdom, there are still thousands of subordinates who are being bullied by the high superiors all the time, and their lives are like mud trampled under their feet.
Yunhe really wanted to do something for these innocent people, but he only hated not having this kind of power.
Now, he can only do his best to save as many as he can.
"You Li, you guys hurry up and go and take care of it first!" Yunhe ordered.
"Yes, master. Only then did You Li put away his sad thoughts and took his orders. But seeing that Yunhe didn't ask any more questions when he heard that he had said about Tu Village, he felt a little lost in his heart.
It seems that the new owner doesn't want to cause trouble.
That's right, he is just a slave, he has no dignity at all, can he still expect his noble master to avenge him or even rebuild his homeland?
I shouldn't have had such childish fantasies about my master. The master was merciful enough to feed and clothe himself, and he was fortunate to be a slave who was tortured to death.
Now, You Li regretted that he had just lost his words, and told Yunhe about his life experience, he was afraid that Yunhe would be bored, so he didn't dare to say more, and honestly took the remaining nine slaves to a restaurant in the market.
In fact, Yunhe was not indifferent to them, but this was not the time to listen to them tell their experiences, so he had to take them out of the city as soon as possible. For the lower people, Xianchi City is definitely not an auspicious place.
But they don't have passes, and the guards guarding the gates will never let them out of the city.
So Yunhe planned to go and help them get a pass first. Thinking that it would take some time to go through the formalities, he asked You Li to take them to find something to eat and buy a new set of clothes first.
After all, looking at them listlessly and with yellow and thin faces, it seems that they have been hungry for a long time. The clothes are not only thin but also very tattered, they are all children who are not yet adults, Yunhe can't bear to treat them badly, how can you Li misunderstand!
He remembered that Mei Bo, the valley lord of Fenglai Valley, had said that a single pass for each city was 10,000. Then ten people only need to spend 100,000 yuan.
Lingmen.
Where each city applies for a pass.
When Yunhe went out of the Lingmen to show his pass and signaled to get ten ordinary Xianchi City passes, the people of the Lingmen were very attentive to him.
Originally, this process would take at least ten days, but the Four Cities Pass was a symbol of wealth and power, so the people of Lingmen opened a greenway for Yunhe, and it was completed in less than half an hour.
Yunhe didn't expect that the pass sent by Du Boming would be so easy to use.
Yunhe returned to the market and extended his divine thoughts, quickly catching You Li's breath. They were in a hotel not far ahead.
But the situation is not good, You Li seems to have quarreled with the shopkeeper in the store.
Yunhe quickened his pace and hurried over.
You Li and the others were kicked out by the shopkeeper of the hotel.
"You beggars dare to come to our shop to ask for food? Do you want to die? Go as far as you want! Don't interfere with our business!" The shopkeeper took a broom and struck it on the feet of the slowest little girl, Xiao Juan, who was behind the group.
The little juan fell to the ground in pain and cried profusely.
You Li hurriedly picked up Juan'er. But when he saw that Xiao Juan'er's foot was hit by a broom, there was immediately a red bruise in that place, and the whole ankle was already swollen.
Don't look at this as an ordinary broom, it doesn't hurt to hit the Boundless Cultivator, but if the Holy Physique with a weak physique is hit, it will hurt a little, break bones and tendons, and even hurt internally.
The bones of the little juan's feet have been broken, and even if the wound heals in the future, she will walk with a limp......
Xiao Juan'er cried and said: "Brother Li, Xiao Juan'er's foot has been broken, even if it is cured, it is a waste, the master will not want me anymore, and it is useless for me to live." Ignore Xiaojuan'er, let's go!"
She was obviously wronged and injured, but she was still so sensible and thought about her own safety.
You Li was very distressed when he saw it, and angrily yelled at the shopkeeper: "We are not beggars! Besides, we don't have no money, why are you beating people indiscriminately?"
The shopkeeper's eyes reached the bridge of his nose, and he said with disdain: "Seeing that you are in tatters and smelly, you are embarrassed to say that you are not beggars? Maybe you escaped from some slave master! You dare to go wild in our hotel! Even if you have money on you, it is stolen from your former master! Go to death! For you fugitive slaves who steal, even if you are killed directly, you do not have to be responsible!"
The shopkeeper said, his eyes showed a fierce light, he raised his broom, and hit You Li and Xiaojuan'er fiercely!
You Li hugged Xiao Juan Er tightly and protected her with her body, but Xiao Juan Er was still so frightened that her face was blue, if You Li was hit in the back, would she still have her life?
Seeing that the broom was about to fall, the green shadow flashed in front of the shopkeeper, and Yunhe had already rushed to the front of the shopkeeper.
But seeing that Yunhe stretched out his hand and grabbed the broom directly, he said sharply: "Stop, they are my people." ”
The broom finally paused less than half a foot away from You Li.
"Who are you, dare to stop me from driving the beggars?" the shopkeeper asked Yunhe fiercely.
Yunhe grabbed the shopkeeper's broom with one hand, took out the token from his arms with the other hand, and said unhappily: "Come to your restaurant for dinner, and ask your ancestors, but you can't show a certificate?" Your hotel is so majestic, it is stricter than the guards guarding the city gate, is your hotel opened by the emperor?"
Seeing that the token in Yunhe's hand was the general order of the four cities, the shopkeeper's face suddenly turned pale.
The four-city universal token is not something you can get if you have money, and the people who hold this kind of token are very rich, either from the royal family, or from the four major families or the important ministers and their families in charge of important positions in the court, and they are not the characters that this shopkeeper can afford to provoke.
The shopkeeper threw away the broom in a panic, bowed down ninety degrees respectfully to Yunhe, and apologized in a low voice: "Childe, it was all a misunderstanding just now! As a token of my apology, Childe is free of charge for all purchases at our store today. ”
"Then I'll give you a chance to make amends. Yunhe said angrily.
"Guys, aren't you coming out to entertain our guests?" said the shopkeeper with a grin.
Yun He stared at him coldly and said, "If you beat my person, can you just ask for a meal?"
The shopkeeper immediately understood, and he said embarrassedly: "Childe, don't beat me! I, who runs a restaurant, still have to use this face to entertain guests." Childe, don't worry, I'll ask the best doctor in the city to heal that girl later. ”
