Chapter 260: Compensation
In this village, which doesn't even have a name, people are like cattle, and they don't have much money to spare.
The big bull wants Ah Hu to compensate, and Ah Hu has to have something to compensate him.
Da Niu picked the corners of his mouth: "Actually, it's not much, isn't your second child a girl?" If you send it to the farm, you can save our village a lot of taxes. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present fried the pot!
Ye Wen's eyes narrowed, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.
Is this guy asking him to sell his children?
This is not the same concept as selling children before the end of the world! Children who are sold are not given to other people's families, or even mutilated and thrown on the street to beg.
Instead, it was eaten!
Before Ye Wen could speak, some villagers shouted: "Big Niu, this is not nonsense!" ”
Although the people of the logistics village live inhumanely, they still retain at least the last vestiges of human dignity.
That's family. These strong laborers are tired and tired every day, for what, not just to let themselves and their wives and children live!
No other requirements, just live!
"What are you anxious about, the second child of the Ah Hu family is a girl, don't you know how many girls there are on the farm?"
Da Niu covered the others with his loud voice, "The second child of the Ah Hu family is only three years old this year, right?" Or are you four years old? It's still early to have a baby. When you go to the farm, you must be served with good food and drink, isn't it much better than staying in the logistics village? At least you don't have to worry about starvation. ”
"yes, then she'll be able to survive in the end?"
Ye Wen said gloomily.
Yes, farms need human women to produce human animals for them. So Ah Hu's daughter can indeed live to puberty.
Then when she reaches the age when she can give birth, what awaits her is to live like a sow, giving birth and giving birth until she is no longer able to give birth, and then she is eaten.
Da Niu shrugged nonchalantly: "It's as if we can live forever." If there is a daughter in my family, I will send it, at least before I die, I can live a good life of eating and drinking spicy food for two years. ”
Then he raised his voice again and said loudly to the crowd: "Again, I'm not for ourselves. Sending away a child would reduce the tax burden on the entire village. Everyone knows this year's year, don't you have any points in your heart if you can complete the tax burden? Two days ago, the little children of the village chief's family were almost starved to death! ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly quieted down a lot.
Just now, many indignant villagers couldn't help but stop and think carefully.
Even Ah Fang's father, the village chief, has no surplus food at home, so Ah Fang needs to risk his life in the middle of the night to sneak across the isolation zone and enter the mountains to find food, and the lives of other families can be imagined.
Other people's children are other people's children. It is more important that your children can survive.
"I've heard that some villages send a little girl to the farm every year."
"Really?"
"Yes, some of them are more than one. If you give it away when you are born, the tax burden will be reduced soon. ”
The villagers exchanged their heads and ears, and they didn't know whether what they said was really true or if they had dreamed of it in broad daylight.
"If we really couldn't survive, I wouldn't have come up with such a bad idea." Da Niu said, looking at Ye Wen, "How is it, Ah Hu?" Do you want to pick a good day? ”
"Daydream your daydreams."
Without a trace of hesitation, Ye Wen said coldly.
Actually, it wasn't his daughter. Whether he is dead or alive has little to do with him.
Although the reason why Ah Fang and his father asked him to pretend to be Ah Hu was to protect Ah Hu's family, Da Niu's attack was not something that he Ye Wen could control. Ah Fang's father and son can't blame him.
However, when he thought of a child, a child like himself, who was a person, being pushed into the fire pit by his own hands, Ye Wen couldn't stand it.
So without a trace of hesitation, Ye Wen directly pushed the big bull back.
But Da Niu even said the idea of sending children, I'm afraid it won't be good today.
Gripping the handle of the axe in his hand, Ye Wen waited for the big cow to make another move.
"You ......"
Seeing Ye Wen's resolute refusal, Da Niu looked a little disappointed and wanted to open his mouth to continue persecuting Ye Wen.
But the second cow behind him dragged him.
Although the surrounding villagers kept their distance from Ye Wen, the eyes of their brothers were not much better.
Although people are selfish, they will also feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.
Life in the logistics village is already difficult, and no one can guarantee that they will always be free from illness and disaster. Oh, today Ah Hu is seriously ill and is about to send away a girl, so tomorrow it will be his turn to break his leg?
Da Niu gritted his teeth and changed his words: "If you don't want to compensate us, it's okay, who made us all from the same village." But you can't push it anymore. This piece of wood, you have to finish what you say today. ”
"Oh, dare you really think that I am alone against the six of you?"
Ye Wen sneered. "So what do you want you to do?"
"You can't say that, we're doing other work, where were you then?" Da Niu was straightforward this time, "If you don't agree to this, then okay, let's go to the village chief to fight hard, is it possible to be an uncle if you are sick?" If that's the case, let's go home and pour two basins of cold water on our heads. ”
Ye Wenyu glanced at the surrounding villagers.
Seemingly...... This job can't be pushed off today.
After all, if no one helped him, there was nothing he could do to force others to do it with him.
He didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, he is not the real Ah Hu, in case he alarms the "superiors", Ah Fang's father, a small village chief, will not be able to cover him.
Ye Wen felt irritated.
It's all caused by the identity of this suspected human animal.
I really hope that I can quickly regain my combat strength and find a chance to leave this village.
But before that, I'm afraid he has to accept the fact that Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs.
Ye Wen gritted his teeth, spat into his palm, and swung his axe at the trunk.
…… It's all about exercising.
Burst. Burst. Burst.
The stone axe looked at the trunk of the tree and made a dull sound.
The surrounding villagers watched numbly. But on the faces of some people who are not so numb, a little admiration can be found.
Ah Hu is already an adult, and even in this era when the average life expectancy can be compared to that of barbarians, he is at his best.
He could have had more children, better, stronger, more supportive of his family and himself. It's just a daughter, and she will marry into other logistics villages in a short time, and she doesn't have much ability to help the family before that, so she really loses money.
It is true that human beings love children. But under extreme conditions, the first thing to ensure survival must be a young and middle-aged male like Ah Hu, only if they survive, others can survive, and the entire ethnic group can continue.
Great hunger, cannibalism. It is not a woman who is eaten, it is a child.
