Chapter 100: Poor and hateful

Mirai Sukarana couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, and the anger that had not been seen for a long time surged up.

When I left last time, Jianing City was still peaceful and peaceful. In addition to the six of them, although more than a dozen people came, they all naturally integrated into the life here. Everyone works at sunrise and returns at sunset, works hard, is self-sufficient, and has a stable shelter from the wind and rain, and lives a peaceful and well-fed life.

But now? Among the nearly 100 new refugees, there are a few former nobles, half of the common people, and nearly half of the slaves. Although everyone is now refugees, the old aristocracy has long been accustomed to a way of living on their laurels, and still wants commoners and slaves to serve food in their hands. The commoners were servile and could not change, and all the anger they received from the old aristocracy was sprinkled on the lower status of the former slaves, sometimes whispering, sometimes bullying others, in order to maintain a false balance in their hearts. And those slaves who had just been freed from the shackles and obtained food and clothing, after finally tasting the taste of freedom, seemed to have suddenly "woken up", thinking that the day of their emergence had come, in order to take revenge and vent their anger, they raised wooden sticks, stones and other murder weapons, and confidently beat those nobles and commoners who still tried to oppress them to death.

Everyone is repeating the mistakes of those they hated in the past, and the cycle of hatred for each other continues. They don't realize that what they are doing now is pushing a home that should be peaceful and peaceful step by step into the kind of purgatory that they hate most in their hearts.

Riots broke out one after another in the city, but the two main fighting forces of Yan Shu and Sang Wu were not around at this time, because they had already gone out to deal with another dispute, and Mo Di and Kama had to hurry to the new place with Tivod.

But I saw a group of people in front of me, about thirty or so, pushing and dragging in front of a house. So, Mo Di and the other three hurriedly ran over, trying to break through the crowd and stop them from continuing to make a big fuss. I didn't want this group of angry guys to listen to the dissuasion at all, and even beat the three of them together. Mo Di was a nobleman, of course, he had learned the art of fighting seriously, and Tiward had also been instructed by him, so he was not weak, but after all, the two of them could not defeat the masses who had lost their minds, and they were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen. Not to mention Kama, who was quickly squeezed into the crowd and had no way to fight back.

"Stop it!"

Just as Modi, Kama, and Tivod thought they might be beaten to death by the madmen, a roar of rage rang out in their ears, followed by a loud thrashing sound, and many of the troublemakers fell to the ground wailing and falling by surprise. They lay on the ground, staring in horror at the tall figure that had suddenly appeared. I saw that he described resoluteness and anger, and his king-like momentum suddenly suppressed everyone's arrogance, and the originally noisy scene finally quieted down.

"You're finally back...... "Murphy rushed out of the crowd in embarrassment, his clothes almost torn, followed by Kama and Tivod, who were beaming with joy but equally blue and swollen faces.

Actually, Future Sukarana had returned to Jianing City last night, but it was already the middle of the night. After saying goodbye to the streamers who had sent him back, he returned alone from the hunting ground to the old palace where several people lived, and by that time everyone had already fallen asleep, so he did not bother them. He wanted to get some rest and go to them when he woke up, but just as he was sleeping dimly, there was a sudden shout from outside the house, as if someone had said something was going on in the city, and then he heard Modi and Kama discussing something as they hurried out. Although he was very tired, he reluctantly got up, washed his face with cold water, and then followed.

When I walked into the city, I saw a group of people in a hurry, scuffling with each other in anger. In order to avoid escalating the situation, the future originally considered a more mild way, such as persuasion, to get the angry troublemakers to stop this barbaric fight. But after he shouted "stop" a few times, no one paid attention to him at all, but he became more and more energetic. In desperation, he had no choice but to pick up a long stick from the ground and swing it directly at the frantic crowd......

The refugees did not realize how barbaric they were, they could not get rid of their old ideas, and no amount of persuasion would help. Once some ignorant ideas have taken root in people's souls, it will be difficult to eradicate them, and it will take a long time, even thousands of years, to achieve them. Therefore, unless they are stopped by some of the most primitive methods, such as deterrence by force and countering violence with violence, they are afraid that they have to change. This was crude, but it was the most effective way to deal with the barbarians, who did not understand the reason. Some people are just very stubborn and hateful, always doing stupid things that hurt others and themselves, and they can't be sober up if they don't beat them, just like every violent revolution and force suppression in history that overthrows old ideas, it's simple and effective.

This scene reminds the future of what Assi once said, that the Lepelian people are more ferocious than the beasts, and at that time he only thought that Assi was prejudiced and maliciously vilified the Lepelian people, and was angry at Assi's use of violence against the Lepelian people. But what he had witnessed since returning to the Eastern Continent made him gradually realize that the truth was better than what Assi said. He only now understands how feeble verbal warnings can sometimes be, and it only emboldens the bad guys and forces the good guys to be bad. There are some things that cannot be solved by non-violence, and it has to be admitted that this may be the only way to force the barbarians to move towards civilization.

Seeing that the group of troublemakers finally quieted down, the future asked solemnly, "What's going on?"

Mo Di rubbed his sore arm and explained, "I haven't had time to ask yet, but the reasons for the disputes these days are almost ......."

The reason is probably this, there are many empty houses left in Jianing City, which is obviously more than enough for the current hundred or so people to live. However, due to the fact that the original dozen or so people came earlier than the current group, they chose a house with better conditions in the city at that time and settled here. Regarding this matter, neither the future nor Modi had any objections at the beginning, after all, there are still many vacant houses in the city, and they can't live in them all. However, among the new batch of refugees who came to Jianing City, some people also took a fancy to the good houses that the dozen or so people had cleaned up in the early days, and they had to grab them.

What is the matter? Future couldn't cry or laugh, looked at the crowd and asked, "I see that the layout of the houses in the city is almost the same, it's just that there are a few sets that are slightly more spacious." Isn't it possible to live in a smaller house? Why do you have to rob someone else's house?"

"Of course, the house should be allocated according to status to be reasonable. Then one of the females in the crowd stepped forward, her head held high, her expression haughty, and her garment, though a little torn, was not difficult to see that it was not a garment that ordinary poor people could wear. "We are from an aristocratic background, so it is natural for us to live in a house that matches our status. Why did those lowly slaves occupy such a good house, and let the noble people live in low and humble places? Besides, it was a matter of course for slaves to serve the nobles, and the lowly ones were not qualified to ask the nobles to work, and they were clearly guilty of violating morality and breaking the law!"

The future looked at the noble female who was upright for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Where did you break the law?"

"Hmph, Jianing City was originally a land conquered by the Naboland people, of course, it is common sense to implement Nabolland's laws and follow Nabolland's moral code, don't you even understand this truth?" the noble female said with a contemptuous expression, and several old nobles beside her quickly echoed.

"Hahaha......" Future finally couldn't help laughing, this was really the most ridiculous joke he had ever heard, he only felt that the person in front of him was ridiculous and pitiful. "Now everyone is listening to me, in Jianing City, there are no so-called nobles, and there are no so-called slaves. No matter who you used to be, if you want to survive here, you have to learn to be self-sufficient, and don't try to get something for nothing!"

"Who are you, why should we listen to you?" asked the noble female indignantly.

"Hmph, do you know what it means to be inadequate? Do you think that you nobles who have nothing alone can order them to serve you obediently? Of course, if you want to starve to death or be beaten to death, you can choose not to listen to advice. Future threw aside the wooden stick in his hand and said sharply, "Now, you all go back." ”

Many of the troublemakers couldn't help but be a little frightened, and their intuition told them that the person in front of them might not be easy to mess with. Although he did not identify himself, from the perspective of appearance, he was by no means an ordinary civilian. Perhaps because the deep-rooted class concept is still at work, those who bully the weak and fear the hard will always involuntarily worry about whether they have provoked a more powerful person, so even if they are unwilling, those down-and-out nobles have to swallow their anger for a while and turn away stupidly.

Seeing this, Miku and Modi finally breathed a sigh of relief. I thought that the incident had subsided, but I never expected that the group of civilian slaves behind him thought that they had gained power, and as soon as the old nobles turned around and took a few steps away, someone actually took the opportunity to pick up stones and wooden sticks, and smashed them into their backs, and the unsuspecting old nobles were beaten to the ground.

The future turned around and stopped in disbelief: "Stop! What are you doing here? Didn't you just fight enough?"

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted indignantly: "Those hateful nobles have once usurped all the land and wealth, and if they are not killed now, how can the people be calmed?

"Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong with counterattacking! There is nothing wrong with revenge! The nobles should die!" At this time, the rest of the people also followed with righteous indignation, all of them were righteous and arrogant, and their faces were full of ferocity. The riot, which had just been quelled with great difficulty, was now easily aroused by the strength of the crowd, and the anger quickly infected all the troublemakers, and none of them were sober.

Future only felt a faint pain in his head, held back his anger, took a deep breath, eased his emotions as much as possible, and then spoke: "As I said just now, there are no nobles or slaves here. No matter who you used to be, as long as you are still in Jianing City, you are equal. ”

"Is that the matter of those nobles who have oppressed us in the past just settled?

Future secretly clenched his fists, suppressed the arrogance in his heart, and did not answer their questions immediately, but first turned to Mo Di and Kama on the side, and said without changing his face: "You take those people to bandage their wounds first, and Tiwod will also go with you, and leave it to me here." ”

Murdi and Kama gave him a worried look, but eventually nodded their heads and joined Tivod in bringing the old nobles away from the land of right and wrong.

After they all left smoothly, the future turned around, looked at the crowd one by one, and slowly asked, "Tell me, what kind of life do you want?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at a blank face, you look at me, I look at you, and finally looked at the future without knowing why, obviously not understanding why he would ask an irrelevant question. But the future is not in a hurry to explain, and continues to look at them in silence, creating an opportunity for them to think with their hearts and patiently waiting for their answers.

After a long time, someone said, "I want ...... I was able to eat enough every day. ”

"There was enough clothing to keep warm. ”

"There was a house to live in. ”

"Own your own farmland. ”

"No more enslavement by the nobility. ”

"Happiness and tranquility. ”

"Free ......"

As long as someone takes the lead, those who follow the first person's train of thought will continue to think, and then more and more people will unconsciously describe the lifestyle they desire, and instinctively follow the tendency of others to respond.

Future listened quietly until they had finished speaking, and then slowly asked, "Then, if there is a war going on here every day, do you think you can still enjoy everything you have now, and the life that your heart desires?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly fell silent. Future couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and continued: "Now that we all understand, let's stop all senseless fights." This is the city of Canin, not Naboland, nor any nation that will enslave you. Isn't it nice that now you have a house to live in, a plough to sow seeds, and to be free? There is nothing wrong with fighting back for the sake of self-preservation, but now it is different now, in fact they have no power and no ability to enslave you anymore, and what do you get even if you bully them once a day? In the end, it only deepens the hatred between them. In less than two days, they will take revenge on you, and this vicious circle only proves that you are just as cruel and ruthless as the people you hate. There is nothing wrong with remembering the misfortunes of the past, but if you blindly imprison yourself in the hatred of the past, you will never be able to live the life you want. So please do not let the hatreds of the past take the place of the happiness you really desire, and a person who is full of hatred will not be able to find peace. ”

After saying that, Future turned around and left directly, because he was so tired, not physically, but mind.
