3. Memory fragments

Shu Han's eyes suddenly darkened, and a pair of riding boots appeared in front of him, it was the overseer, and then something fell to the ground, Shu Han looked at it, it seemed to be a nameplate, engraved with the number of the overseer, symbolizing the identity of the overseer.

"Take this sign to the hospital, and the people there will heal your injuries."

Shu Han was speechless, and at this time, Yao Zhi and Tie Ma walked up to him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, you are the greatest overseer. He kowtowed as he spoke.

"Today's work, the time after that will be made up, the nameplate engraved with my dormitory number, and return it to me in the evening." The overseer hurried out of the place, he also had his own job, and he was responsible for all the slaves along the way, and as soon as he was away, these slaves began to be lazy.

He walked away with a constant curse, as if what had just happened annoyed him.

When Shu Han saw the overseer walking away, he immediately got up from the ground, and Tiema and Yao Zhi also hurriedly walked to Shu Han's side, Tiema couldn't hide something, and immediately said: "Shu Han, you are really bold!" “

"This is the first time I've lied to an overseer, Shu Han, you're really good." Yao Zhi on the side also said.

"Give me a hand." Shu Han opened his mouth and said, and the two of them realized that Shu Han's injuries were not light, they had been paying attention to Lin Bida before, and they hadn't noticed Shu Han, they thought that Shu Han was pretending, but they didn't expect that Shu Han was really in pain at this moment.

The two hurriedly helped Shu Han up, and his feet fell to the ground again, which made Shu Han feel that he was still alive, looking at the two informants who were dragged away in the distance, Shu Han's mood was very sad, but he also knew that this was not the time to think about this, Shu Han walked to the place where Lin Bida was lying with the support of the two.

"Are you alright?" Shu Han squatted on the ground and spoke.

The three of them walked to Lin Bida's side, only to find that Lin Bida's consciousness had been awake, and as soon as they approached, Lin Bida's eyes looked at Shu Han and said, "Why save me?" “

"I'm not saving you." Shu Han said with some irritability, his deception made the two people die, which was a huge pressure on Shu Han, and it was impossible for his mood not to be affected, but noticing that the expressions of the three people had changed slightly, Shu Han thought about it and said, "I just don't want to just forget it." ”

"Don't you want to leave it at that? Haha, me too, blame me for being cheap. Lin Bida said with a smile, Shu Han looked at him, thinking that he was so seriously injured, he could still laugh, what a strange person, he said:

"Now is not the time to speak, Iron Horse, Yao Zhi will help the handle, let's hurry to the hospital."

The two of them struggled to pull Lin Bida up from the ground, Lin Bida's body had almost no strength, and the two of them could only take turns to help him go, as for Shu Han, his own pain was barely able to endure at this time, the reason why he didn't even have the strength to stand just now was largely due to psychological reasons, now that the overseer is leaving, coupled with someone to talk with him, the whole person is much better spirited, and he can keep up with the pace of Iron Horse and Yao Zhi even if he trembles.

Naturally, there were many slaves on the road, and they were a little surprised to see the four people walking in the opposite direction, not pushing the wheelbarrow, but all of them did not dare to speak, and continued the work in their hands, they had long been accustomed to the numb life, causing them to subconsciously ignore even if they saw different people.

Shu Han took the three of them to the edge of the iron mining area, he didn't know where the hospital was, he could only find an overseer and ask, the overseers saw that the four slaves dared not work, and they also felt strange in their hearts, and when they saw the waist card in Shu Han's hand, they did not embarrass them, but showed them the way.

"Are those people still overseers?" Yao Zhi said after being far away from the overseers.

"I've never seen them look so good." The iron horse on the side also echoed and said, these overseers are all the image of bullies in the impression of the slaves, killing people is like child's play, beating people is like breathing, when Shu Han walked in front of an overseer, both of them held their breath, afraid that Shu Han would anger the overseer and be beaten to death.

But the overseer only frowned and returned the nameplate to Shu Han, and then showed them the way to the infirmary, which really puzzled them.

"Maybe they think of us as their own, this infirmary should be for the overseers, and the same goes for the nameplate, I have the nameplate in my hand, they don't know the situation, they think we have something to do with one of the overseers." Shu Han also felt very strange, when he stepped forward to ask for directions, he was even ready to be beaten, but he didn't expect that the other party was just pointing the way and didn't do anything.

Could it be that you have met a good person? Shu Han couldn't believe it, the overseers here, even if they were good people, would not be soft at all, after all, the work was not completed, and their families would also suffer, who would take the fate and future of themselves and their families to be good people?

The three of them were puzzled, but they couldn't continue to analyze, although the overseer and the slave have been working together, but one is the ruling class and the other is the ruled class, the gap between the two sides is too big, and it is very difficult to understand each other, and Shu Han has just come to this world, and he feels strange to everything here, including human nature.

The mentality of the people in peacetime and the overseers in the slave area was completely different, and their thinking and logic were not something that Shu Han could understand in a short time, so the three of them could only continue to move forward with apprehension, and soon, the three of them arrived at the infirmary with Lin Bi.

A tin room, about 20 square meters of space, the tin room has two windows and a door, under the eaves above the gate, there is a red cross iron plate, the tin house is covered with dust, and the surrounding environment is integrated, giving people a feeling of a field hospital.

Looking at this red cross iron plate, Shu Han felt even more strange in his heart, the people here speak Chinese, and the words on the nameplate are also Chinese, and now, the symbol of this red cross is exactly the same as the Red Cross in the previous life, and this iron house, giving Shu Han a very familiar feeling, he often sees this standard of house in many documentaries, pictures about slums, basically similar to the infirmary in front of him, what is going on?

Outside the infirmary, there are two pots of cacti, with two yellow flowers blooming on them, in this desert-like environment, this is the only touch of green as far as the eye can see, as for the infirmary, there are overseers' dormitories and cattle pens, rows of stone houses, most of them only have one floor, and in the middle of the dormitory is a stone house of about three floors, the only white house in the entire residential area.

Shu Han thought to himself, this should be the residence of the iron mine owner, otherwise it would be impossible to paint it with white paint, it is very beautiful, looking into the distance, it is even reflecting the light, it should be the credit of the glass, the window of the infirmary is not without glass, just a piece of tissue paper to cover it, there are many small holes on it, obviously it has been a long time.

As for the cattle pen, these cattle will be responsible for transporting the iron ore to another place, where to go, Shu Han does not know.

There was only one road leading to the far other end in front of him, and the entire iron mining area was best described as desolate, compared to the iron mining area, the number of guards and overseers here was much smaller, Shu Han asked Tie Ma and Yao Zhi to help Lin Bida, and he stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Knock knock."

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the tin room, Shu Han took a step back, the door opened immediately, and a middle-aged man who looked quite old walked out of the room, he was wearing a white coat, a stethoscope on his chest, and a pair of reading glasses on his face.

This, this, except for some details, is almost the same as that of modern doctors, what kind of era is this?

"Slaves? How did you get here? Zhao Qingtian heard a knock on the door outside, so he came over to open the door, but he didn't expect to see a little ghost running back as soon as he went out, babbling and shouting something, which startled him, and when he calmed down, he saw that it was four slaves, and he thought to himself how the overseers worked, and how did they even release the slaves.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, Shu Han also reacted at this time, now is not the time to be surprised in a daze, he hurriedly handed the nameplate in his hand to the doctor, and then said: "The overseer said let's bring him over and ask you to heal." ”

"What did the overseer say?" Zhao Qingtian thought to himself that these overseers had changed their sex? He had not been here for a long time, only for more than a year, but he had never seen a slave appear here, either a member of the convoy or an overseer, or even a sick cow, or even a slave, without healing.

It's not that the slaves are in good health and don't need to see a doctor, but here, cattle are more expensive than the lives of slaves, and if slaves are sick, they are resigned to fate, and it all depends on whether God wants you or not.

Zhao Qingtian took the nameplate from Shu Han's hand to confirm the authenticity, Wang Lie? It turned out to be him.

Each nameplate has its own exclusive number and a specially determined citizen ID number of the city-state, which is difficult to fake without special tools, Zhao Qingtian confirmed it, returned the nameplate to Shu Han, and said, "Come in." ”

Shu Han carefully put the nameplate on his waist, while beckoning Iron Horse and Yao Zhi to send people in, the inside of the iron house is much more hurried than the old outside, at first glance, it is often cleaned, the two desks in the room are directly opposite each other, next to it is a row of chairs, and two beds, which look like a modern rural private clinic.

This made Shu Han have a very wonderful sense of crossing, and at this time Zhao Qingtian said: "Put a person in this bed, and what is his genetic sequence?" ”

"Genetic sequence?" Shu Han was a little puzzled, what is the genetic sequence, suddenly, the memories belonging to Shu Han rushed to Shu Han, his head almost exploded, and he fell to the ground with an unsteady footstep, Zhao Qingtian saw this and hurriedly came to help, seeing that Shu Han's back was also a flesh that had just bloomed, he thought that Shu Han, like Lin Bida, was also a patient who needed to be treated, so he took the iron horse and Yao Zhi to send him to bed together.

And such a little time also allowed Shu Han to accept that memory, the so-called genetic sequence is an assessment of a person's comprehensive physical quality in all aspects, and this assessment is very important in the city where he lives today.

Ironstone City, this is the place where Shu Han once lived, and it is also the ruler of the iron mining area, and the city also implements a very strict bloodline management system, every child born to parents will be collected into the hands of the city administrator, managed by an institution, and then through the rating of the genetic sequence, there will be three types of people in the city.

The first of these is the Chosen Ones with a genetic sequence of Class A to S, who awaken a special ability between the ages of three and twelve, which depends on the circumstances of the individual, the so-called Psychic in the novel, but in this city they are called Skywalkers, meaning people who walk above the crowd and are on par with the sky.

The second group is the unawakened people, who will enter the children's market after the age of twelve, and will be selected by the craftsmen, doctors, lawyers, and workshop owners of the city, and the chosen ones will become the children of these citizens, receive formal vocational education, and when they grow up, they will remain in the city.

The third category is those who are not chosen, and the children's market will give them three years, and those who have not been selected by the age of fifteen will be made slaves, leave the city, and become workers in various mines, working day and night until they die, and a very important condition that determines whether they can be adopted or not is the genetic sequence.

The higher the gene sequence, the greater the chance that they can be adopted, and the lower the gene sequence, the higher the likelihood that they will become slaves.

God, could it be that you brought me into this world to remember the bittersweet memories? Even if the other protagonists don't have special abilities, they have a better birth, and in this world, it doesn't matter who your parents are, everyone is under unified management, not to mention that he has been identified as a slave at the moment, according to the memory of the previous owner of this body, a slave is a slave, and he can only be a slave for the rest of his life.

In Ironstone City, the last time a slave became a free man again, it was thirty years ago, that time is said to have caused a sensation in Ironstone City, and then look at the conditions for becoming a free man and getting rid of slave status, one is that if you can awaken to become a Skywalker, then you will immediately get rid of slavery and become the ruler of Ironstone City.

Of course, Shu Han doesn't have to think about this, although there is also the possibility of awakening after the age of twelve, but the probability is less than one percent, and even if there is, these awakened people are often the children of citizens in the city, and only miracles can happen.

Because if a person wants to awaken his own ability, he must first provide enough energy on the issue of food, so that he can stimulate his potential in the process of growth, which seems to be the reason why Iron Stone City must use an efficient but ruthless child management system for unified management.

Let every child receive the most scientific care at the best time to awaken, so as to awaken more Skywalkers, Shu Han guessed in his heart, and like slaves, not to mention eating well, it is a very difficult thing to eat, so if you want to awaken, unless Shu Han is really the so-called son of destiny and God's favorite, don't think about it.

Another point is to make special contributions to Ironstone, these contributions are very general, but most of them are related to the legion slaves, such as killing many people on the battlefield to become a free people, or protecting their masters from harm and becoming a free people, anyway, it has nothing to do with his slaves in an iron mining area.

Shu Han is just Shu Han's mood is not to mention how bad it is, the memory of the previous owner of the body ends here, as for what is outside the Iron Stone City, why the Iron Stone City would rather sacrifice the family relationship between parents and children to cultivate as many Skywalkers as possible, he doesn't know this, and at this moment, Zhao Qingtian's voice sounded again.

"Are you alright, young man?"

Shu Han woke up from a trance, only to see that he was already lying on the bed on his back, and when he heard Zhao Qingtian's voice, Shu Han said with some bitterness: "D-class." This was the answer he remembered as a rank that most slaves had, and many adoptive parents often bypassed when they saw the D-class, and this group was also the main force of slaves.

In Shu Han's memory, S-level and A-level are the most high-end, B-level is a strong person, C-level is a normal person, D-level is a thin person, of course, all these genetic ratings only involve the body, not IQ, as for the E-level and F-level under the D-level, E-level is a person who often gets sick, because the body is too weak, so it is not good to be a miner, and he is often arranged in the city and engaged in some lowly jobs in the city.

As for the F-class, they are called untouchables, they are often deformed at birth, most of them do not live to be a year old, but some will grow up, they are not allowed to live in the city, and they are not even qualified to be slaves, they are expelled from the scope of Ironstone City, called wanderers outside Ironstone City, so most of the slaves in the ironstone area are C-class and D-class.

Shu Han wanted to cry a little without tears, but Zhao Qingtian had no surprised expression, turned his head and walked to Lin Bida's side, patted his face, and saw that he had come to his senses, so he asked, "What is your genetic sequence?" ”

At this time, Lin Bida's back had been treated, and a layer of white medicinal powder was coated on it, Shu Han couldn't see what it was, but he could smell a trace of Chinese herbs in the air, and there was a little bit of bitterness in the fragrance, Lin Bida said: "Class B." ”

"B-class?" Zhao Qingtian's face showed a hint of surprise, Iron Horse and Yao Zhi are also the same, although B-level is different from Skywalker, it is also a very sought-after adoption, and it will basically be snatched up by parents in various industries, how can it be a slave?

As for Shu Han, the plots of many novels he has read can't help but come to mind, could it be that Lin Bida is the legendary male protagonist, or the illegitimate son of some big man, such a high level will appear in the ranks of slaves, and his divergent thinking makes him forget the pain

Lin Bida saw everyone's surprised eyes and knew what they were thinking, but he didn't want to explain, he just lowered his head and closed his eyes to rest, Zhao Qingtian muttered to himself: "Hey, interesting." But this has nothing to do with him being a doctor, he can't worry about his own life, how can he have time to care about others.

Although he was also very curious, the B-level gene sequence, logically speaking, could not be a slave, but looking at Lin Bida's appearance, it was obvious that even if he asked, he would not answer, Zhao Qingtian was not a person who liked to get to the bottom of it, so he didn't continue to ask.

"Since you are a B-level gene sequence, then the salt water will not be hung on you, this little friend, I will give you an injection later, you have to be patient." Zhao Qingtian turned his head and said to Shu Han, seeing that Shu Han was only twelve years old, his tone was a little like that of a pediatrician.
