Chapter 845: New Hope

I've been hungry all night, and Ji Ran is really a little hungry.

In addition, this meal is really fragrant, especially the chicken legs, which are very large, and they seem to be smeared with honey, and the taste is really fragrant.

There seems to be fungus and shrimp in the spinach and egg soup, which is warm and delicious.

For these foods, Ji Ran is naturally irresistible, she eats a fine light, no matter what happens in her future life, fill her stomach first.

After breakfast, the maid left with an empty bowl.

In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, the maid came again.

There is a basket of crystal steamed dumplings, the skin of the steamed dumplings is very thin, and you can even clearly see the filling inside, the steamed dumplings are not big, but the filling inside is very sufficient, there are vegetables, eggs and a kind of seafood meat that cannot be named, it seems to be shellfish meat, it smells so fragrant.

In addition, there is a bowl of seafood soup, which is rich in abalone and lobster meat, and it is not small.

Ji Ran looked at this sumptuous dinner, and couldn't believe his eyes, such a luxurious dinner, I'm afraid only Hardeman himself would enjoy it, right?

Why would he give himself a slave who was guarded closely?

Just when Ji Ran was puzzled, the maid clapped her hands and made a few gestures, motioning for her to hurry up and eat, as if she had other things to do.

Ji Ran had no choice but to nod, ate the steamed dumplings in the small basket, and even drank the seafood soup.

After the maid put away the dishes and chopsticks, she turned and left.

After the maid left, the nursing home in charge of monitoring Ji Ran immediately locked the door of the room.

Ji Ran was puzzled, what was Hardeman doing here in captivity?

Do you want to be a vase?

But that's too expensive, isn't it?

Or did he just give himself a severed head?

In many places on the earth, prisoners will eat a full meal before leaving, and I wonder if their situation at the moment will be the same?

In the evening, the sun set in the western mountains, and the serfs came back one after another.

They went out before dawn and didn't come back until so late, of course, and it wasn't too late, and if it weren't for the fear that it would get dark and that the serfs would escape, Hardeman would have preferred that they would have toiled the land forever.

After the serfs returned, the first thing to do was to count the number of people, and the number of people was counted by the number of people specified in the room, and if there were fewer people, they had to report immediately, and if they concealed or reported late, they would be severely whipped.

If the number of people is all right, the supervisor in charge of monitoring will check again, and the number of people is all right, and then the meal will be served.

The food of the serfs was really not flattering, although Hardeman ate a lot of fish and meat all day long, but these serfs ate very poorly, and some food and even livestock would not eat.

Moldy bread, rancid steamed buns, and even feed for pigs, in short, are some foods that ordinary people will feel disgusted when they see them.

Although this food is too inhumane, for the serfs who have been starving for a day, even this food is very rare.

They ate the food quickly, filling their already shriveled bellies, no matter what they ate, they just desperately stuffed it into their mouths.

Even so, they didn't have enough food, they all ate it, and they were only barely starving.

Ji Ran looked at these people so pitiful, and his heart was very sad, they are also people living in the world, why is the gap so big?

However, when I recall the historical civilization of the earthlings in my memory, how similar is it?

In the history of the earthlings, they have experienced the dark slave age, and that era is still very long, lasting for thousands of years, in that dark millennium, most people are like these slaves in front of them are living as miserable, unable to resist, can only accept the abuse of fate.

As the night wore on, the overseer locked the door and went to rest.

Ma Lulian @ Condes came to Ji Ran's side and talked to Ji Ran again.

Ma Lulian likes to talk to Ji Ran, because Ji Ran is the only "person" she has seen who has thoughts and can write words over the years.

"It's been so hard today, I've been farming for a day, and my bones are about to fall apart." Ma Lulian wrote on the ground.

"They're going too far, even an old man like you doesn't let go." Ji Ran wrote sympathetically.

"There is no way, this is already a completely dark age, and there will be no more charity." Ma Lulian wrote helplessly.

"These usurpers criticized the people of the Holy King's era for living in dire straits, and fought against the defenders of the Holy King's Party under the slogan of saving the people of the world, but now that they have won the world, they have done even darker things, turning us freedmen back into serfs, and we are not allowed to have any right to speak. What a sad time! ~" Ma Lulian continued.

"Do you have any plans? Do you have to endure it like this all the time? Ji Ran asked.

"I'm old, I'm old, what else? However, I don't think there will be a chance, the people in this room, except for you and me, are illiterate, their heads are very empty, there are many people, born in this environment, they have not seen the outside world, they are locked up here every day, imprisoned in the land, and they are often brainwashed by Hardeman, thinking that Hardeman is the merciful Lord, giving them the right to live and be free from hunger.

Perhaps in a few years, these people will become real slaves, and the world will return to the previous Dark Ages. Ma Lulian wrote sadly.

"Then why don't you tell them to read? Don't you want your children and grandchildren to leave something behind? Ji Ran asked.

"I wanted to, too, but I didn't have a chance before, but now I seem to have hope again." Ma Lulian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Ji Ran and wrote.

"What? Are you going to start teaching them literacy? Only by enriching the mind will there be greater hope. Ji Ran wrote back.

"No, I'm already old, my body is dying, whether it's time or energy, I don't have a chance, but you're still young, and the mission of changing our destiny may fall on you." After Ma Lulian finished writing these lines, her cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, and she seemed to see hope.

Ji Ran looked at Ma Lulian very strangely, wondering why she was suddenly like this?

"Me? How can I change your fate? Ji Ran asked in a strange handwriting.
