Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Origin of the Untouchables
The next destination for Al and his party was the slave market that Bullock had blown up to the gods, but before that, Bullock begged Al to let him deal with the property he had just acquired, and Al certainly did not hesitate to show his generosity in such a trivial matter.

When Bullock returned to the car, Al asked casually: "I see that these people are all willing to be sold to you as slaves, is there really such a self-willed and lowly person in this world, who is good at being a good person and does not do it, but prefers to be a cow and a horse with others?"
Bullock replied respectfully, "You don't know the joints, these untouchables have a rotten life, they don't have enough clothes to eat here, they just wait to die sooner or later." I took them as slaves, and although they ate chaff, they could still live, and of course they were very happy. ā
As he spoke, Bullock quietly looked up and saw a flash of displeasure in Al's eyes. A businessman like him is the most observant of words and feelings, and secretly speculated: "It seems that this eldest young master is also a son of a wealthy family who does not eat fireworks in the world and lives in the sky. When they heard that I had fed these slaves some pig food, they thought that I was a vicious man who had done a lot of evil, and that I had a mustard in my heart and had to explain it. ā
So he spoke up again: "Don't think that I treat them harshly, in fact, there are so many slave traders in Shenghui City, I can definitely pat my conscience and say that I treat those slaves well." Some of the other guys usually mix it with feed, and some of the black-hearted ones peel off the bark and chop it up for food. You think, is that something edible? Even pigs and dogs can't eat it, and those untouchables don't last more than a few days before they die of rotting stomachs. ā
Al clenched his fists, and the anger in his eyes became heavier, "Since those slaves are their property, why should they be tortured to death like this, shouldn't they be sold?"
Brock had the intention to show off in front of El, so he shook out the many shady scenes inside, and the depth of the industry: "You think, those who have money to buy slaves are all people with solid foundations, even if the slave doesn't want to give money for free, he has to add a bowl of rice, right? Therefore, those slaves are goods that cannot be sold for money, and the better they are fed, the more they will lose. Therefore, the vast majority of these slaves are sold to mines for mining, or hired to do the hardest work in the trading houses, and the women who have no strength are sold to the wild kilns, the secret prostitutes, and those who are really not able to become wandering warblers. In this way, those untouchables are still vying to sell themselves into slavery, so it is better to die than to live, this person really can't care about anything in order to survive. In this case, many slave traders don't care about the lives of these untouchables, anyway, there is no cost to the left and right, and they just recruit a batch after they die. ā
Hearing such a cruel inside story, even Huo Sen's guy dropped the handkerchief covering his face in surprise, and Al snorted angrily: "It's not a pity to kill all of them." ā
This sound startled Brock, thinking that this master would not think of slaughtering the slave traders. I secretly regretted it in my heart, saying why I didn't keep a door on my mouth, which was good, and it brought disaster. hurriedly hurried to think about his peers: "Young Master El, how can it be as serious as you said." What kind of carelessness for human life, if it is really heinous, the National Police Department will not have arrested us slave traders long ago?...... after all", Bullock smiled, "Those untouchables are still human." ā
Seeing that Bullock's face was taken for granted, he glanced back again, and Huo Sen took out a handkerchief from his arms to cover his mouth and nose.
Al laughed helplessly, is this the Holy Radiance City? Due to the sparse population in the West, Al has never seen this kind of random mutilation of lives and indiscriminate killing of innocents, and after staying in the Westside for a long time, he has almost forgotten that this is a world similar to the European Middle Ages. It is common for the people to have a hard life, and it is common for their lives to be as cheap as grass, and what is even more terrifying is that in this magical world with elements, mages, and warriors, it is even more difficult for the people at the bottom to overthrow the ruler through the means of uprising, and it is almost impossible to succeed. "Jun, the boat, the people, the water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. This kind of civil rights idea has never appeared, the aristocracy is always noble as gods, and the commoners are always lowly like ants, just like the natural law of spring, summer, autumn and winter, which can never be changed.
If the ruling class has always been in charge of violence, the stronger the violence, the more secure the position of the ruling class. Just like in modern times on earth, people often discuss the phenomenon of class solidification, hoping to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and change the class solidification through education, employment, poverty alleviation, and other means. But all people's subconscious minds have forgotten one of the oldest means: uprising, that is, rebellion. In ancient times, peasants who were forced to live would pick up hoes and pitchforks with their own hands, and fight for their lives to pull down the rotten ruling class. But in modern times, is this still possible?
The Internationale's "The old world is in the dust, we must be the masters of the world! If we want to regain the fruits of our labor, Internachonel must realize it!" is becoming more and more like an epic fantasy bubble, and it is becoming more and more impossible to realize.
This is the progress of civilization, in which the value of life is framed and protected by the law. The development of materials has made it difficult for modern society to starve everywhere and corpses for thousands of miles. But at the same time, the feat of "giving up his body and daring to pull the emperor off the horse" is no longer a thing of the past.
Al peered out of the car again, and there were untouchables lying on the ground, lifeless and lifeless. El Xin said that there must be too many untouchables.
He asked Bullock, "Why are there so many untouchables? Is it true that they can't find any work and are completely bankrupt?" ā
Brock replied cautiously, "Master El. Most of these untouchables were peasants, working in the fields of the nobles and lords, and they were contracted. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, and the green and yellow are not accepted, the rent grain that should be paid should not be missing. These peasants can only pay debts, and the debts they owe more and more after going back and forth several times, even if they find a way to work as coolies for the commercial banks, they can't afford to pay off their money even if they earn some strength. And these untouchables are really like pigs, the poorer they are, the more they can give birth, can there be not many of them? ā
Al couldn't help but think of the peasants who were in a hurry to wait for their crops when he entered the city. I don't know if after this rainstorm, there will be a few more walking dead living dead in the Poole area.
