Sanjin walked quickly towards the village, and along the way, Feng Bujue was asking Hank about the situation in Shenyou Village, and the crazy sword shadow was silently listening.
Hank is not a tour guide, and he can't introduce the village in a very organized way, but Feng Bujue is very skillful when asking questions, and he skillfully guides Hank to tell some useful information in more detail.
The residential area of Shenyou Village is roughly divided into four areas, and the outermost area near the exit is the first area, which belongs to the slum. Hank's home is here, and his only income is his mother, who is over fifty years old, and she works ten hours a day in the laundry, with only one rest a week, and is paid a pitiful amount.
Hank earns a little more from his job in the Scavengers, but every time he goes out, he may never come back, his father and several older brothers are scavengers, and they all die in the White Spoon.
The job of the Scavenger team is to search for useful supplies in the treacherous environment of the 1st Earth. Exploring ancient ruins is not a common task, and the most they do on a daily basis is to collect and transport back the natural resources that grow outside the village, mainly ores, plants, and water sources that pollute Cheng dรน within the treatment range.
With the invention of the anti-gravity catapult, this work does not require a lot of force, and the scavengers pack things, "lift" them, and walk them back to the cargo compartment of the sand fish tank to put them down.
It may not seem like a lot of hard work, but in fact, the risk factor is very high. On the 1st Earth today, even in the desert where black storms are constant, there are a few vicious animals, and those jungles, swamps, and coastal areas are already rampant with mutated creatures, and the environment and creatures are deadly threats to the class.
Most of the people who live in the outskirts are from families like Hank, and the villagers here have only three years of education, the first two years of basic math and literacy, and the third year of work-related knowledge. From the age of ten, they learn to survive by their own labor, and spend their lives doing single and heavy physical labor, or some dangerous work. But as long as they follow the rules and do their job, there's nothing wrong with having a full meal.
Passing through the first area, the second area is the largest agricultural area with medium entrances.
The roads and houses here are different from those on the periphery, and the main crops in the fields look like corn, but the leaves are not green, but corrugated golden yellow; There are also tubers that grow in the dirt, and the leaves that are exposed are coffee-colored, and you can smell a fragrance from a distance. Feng Bujue asked Hank what these were, and the other party replied "coughed rice and sweet fruit", which are staple foods on the villagers' tables. These two crops should have been created and named by the villagers of Shenyou Village before, and there were no similar things on the earth before anyway.
The residents of the farming area lived a slightly better life than in the first area, with a more comfortable living environment and different colors of clothing. Each family has a field to cultivate, and its crop yield is strictly monitored, and all of it has to be handed over to the village, and not a single grain of rice can be left for the family. Household income is based on the amount of food surrendered.
Relatively speaking, there is not much risk in their white spoon life, the ratio of labor and rest is not miserable, and the residents of the farming areas have the opportunity to receive further education, and if they have more than two children in the family, they can choose one of the children who are more disadvantaged in learning to continue their education and receive "higher education", and if they complete their studies, they will have the opportunity to enter the third area.
The third area belongs to the technical entrance, and the number of these entrances is very small, and the entrance to this area is basically maintained at about three hundred. Some of the top of them are the promoters of "open" technology in Shenyou Village, and the poorer ones can also work as engineers or managers, and those who are old or incapacitated are responsible for teaching students.
The inhabitants of this area are mainly intellectual workers, with considerable incomes and stable lives, and one space is worth the size of a family in the outer areas, and the color of their clothing is white, and their social status is also high, and the fourth area is where the "sacrifices", or nobles, live. Their White Spoon residence can be described as luxurious for the outlying villagers, but in Shenyou Village, even if it is a sacrificial family, the dress code must be uniform, which is not negotiable. The only people in the village who can be dressed by their temperament are those surnamed Kouben, they all know each other in the appearance of white spoons, and their white spoon portraits can be seen everywhere, and the children have to learn the heroic deeds of the members of the Kouben family from an early age, and learn a few songs to praise them.
The sacrifices basically don't need a thousand for anything, and their lives are already very good. Their white-spooned tables are often the ingredients that the scavengers have bought with their lives, which the average villager cannot enjoy in a lifetime; The tap water they use is drinkable, while the water used by the villagers in the outskirts is "filtered" from polluted water brought back from outside the village.
The priests' duty was to maintain the "sons of God" and the rule of the Koben family. Regardless of whether they have an early age or not, they can and are obliged to receive the most complete education and learn as much knowledge as possible, and some of the smarter ones can share some secrets that the Kouben family knows.
The leaders and managers of all departments in the Divine Blessing Village are all held by the priests or their white spoon families, and this has been the case for generations. In some departments, even if a guy doesn't know anything about professional knowledge, he can still sit in the position of the first leader, anyway, just find a third area to come in as a deputy. Moreover, the one who served as the deputy had to ask this layman chief for instructions before he could do anything, and if he made his own opinion, the crime was very severe.
Passing through these four areas, is the deepest part of the village, the temple.
In the first three areas, there are patrols on the streets, and in the third area, although there are fewer residents, the patrols are stronger. In the fourth area, ordinary villagers are not allowed to enter, except for those who wear sacrificial clothes and have a pass, other entry procedures are very troublesome.
Outside the fourth area and the temple, there are no longer patrols in charge, there are special guards, all of whom have been carefully screened and recruited. A guy like Hank, who was born in the outer region, will definitely not be selected, at least he must be from the second and third regions to be eligible to join the ranks of the guards...... How can the sacred mission of guarding the sacrifice and the Son of God be careless?
"There's the third area up ahead." Arriving at the junction of the second and third sectors, Hank said, "It's okay to get here, there are a lot of patrolmen in the third sector, in case you are asked, ......"
"Keep walking." Feng Bujue said categorically, along the way, they were questioned by several groups of patrolmen, and Feng Bujue also fooled the past with the same reason, but Hank was worried every time.
"Hey! Hank, is that you? Suddenly, a woman's voice came and called out to Hank.
