Volume 1 - Wise Men Chapter 15 (15)

The beggar's aunt cried: "We didn't steal it, we didn't dare to steal." It's my father-in-law, no, it's my sister's father-in-law who died and the compensation given by the prince of Yejiu. ”

The noble woman with a kind and holy face asked gently, "Why did your sister's father-in-law die?" Even so, the prince would not be so generous. This ruby is enough to buy five lives. ”

The tall man stared at his aunt, and suddenly shouted, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

The aunt panicked, and pulled the little beggar to kowtow: "The untouchables will never dare to steal." The untouchables will exchange this food, please spare the untouchables! Please spare the untouchables. The untouchables are willing to send all their blessings to the noble lady and ask the god Isamna to bless her! ”

The tall man walked over and tried to pull his aunt to her feet, but suddenly turned around and grabbed the boy's left wrist.

Wrapped in a pile of tattered cloth, the boy's left wrist was white and dust-free.

The aunt was so frightened that she threw herself at the little beggar:

"Your Excellency, please spare your life! Please go around the untouchables. The untouchables are only hungry to steal the food of the adults, if the adults must not let the untouchables go, please take the life of the untouchables, spare the child, he is only 9 palms high! ”

The little beggar glared at the angry and frightened man and gritted his teeth as he looked at the tall, muscular man from his aunt's elbow.

The little boy who had been standing in the corner without speaking was wearing a pair of Ma Ge shoes, walked over with a click, fished out the food from the pot, and then walked over and handed the food to the little beggar: "Eat, my father has forgiven you!" ”

The little beggar took it, glared at the few people in front of him hatefully, and bit down on the food in his hand.

Apparently, he was starving, and he knew that death was imminent, and he did not care about it.

The tall man looked at the woman next to him, the woman shook her head slightly, and the tall man sighed: "It seems that you haven't eaten for many days." Although we don't eat much, we always share it with our valued guests. Go and finish the food in that pot. ”

My aunt asked suspiciously, "Did the adults really spare us?" And give us the food in the pot? ”

The woman said softly, "We are not adults either. We are untouchables, iron untouchables! ”

The woman stretched out her left hand and pulled up her arm, and there was a black iron soldered five-petal sunflower on her wrist.

Since the 26 ethnic groups crossed the eastern red sea to reach Rongzhou, conquered the indigenous people of Rongzhou, and established the first sweetgum tree stem on the Kadanlan grassland, the land of Rongzhou has been divided into five seasons: spring, summer, summer, autumn, and winter.

The Rongzhou Terran State is divided into eight countries: Tai Dahui, Ye Jiu Jing Nan, Yu Feng Xue Lan, Ma Lan Nanshu, Nian De Xiao Chu, Gezhi Guiyi, Boyan Hongyuan, Kadanlan Kadanlan Guo.

The people are divided into five classes, namely the gold family, the silver horn family, the bronze family, the wooden lock commoners, and the iron brand untouchables. Above the bronze ornament are nobles, and each nobleman is issued a badge by the government at the time of birth and pinned to his chest.

The Golden Family is the Imperial Family, the Imperial Family of All Countries, and the Great Witch of the Royal Family, the Great Witch of the Royal Family of All Parties.

The Silver Horn family includes large families that are related to the royal families of various countries and families of high-ranking generals in the army.

Bronze families mainly refer to wealthy merchants with huge wealth in various countries, middle-level generals in the army, and high-ranking service personnel in the royal palace.

Wooden locks are placed on the ankles of civilians at birth, and are not lifted until they die.

At birth, the Iron Plate Untouchables were branded with a red-hot iron handle and could not be removed for the rest of their lives, otherwise they would be treated as fugitives and whipped to death.

There are strict rules about what people should do and where they should live, and those who exceed them will be severely punished.

At this time, when she heard the tall man say that she was also a pariah, and saw that the noble woman did have an iron-branded black five-petal sunflower on her wrist, her aunt was obviously a little surprised, and rushed out: "Why are you a pariah?" ”

If the charcoal fire crackles, no one answers.

My aunt also knew that she was talking too much, and she hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The untouchables are clumsy, Lord Xie gives food, Mrs. Xie and Gongzi give food." ”

The little beggar had eaten, looked at the boy, who was almost his age, and asked, "Why don't you run away?" My aunt said that there were slave hunters, and if they were caught, they would cut off their hands and feet. ”

The little boy smiled softly: "I am a registered pariah, I don't dry salt, and I collect medicine for the Yushitai. ”

"Then why can't I not dry salt to collect medicine for Yushitai?" The little beggar asked curiously.

The tall man stretched out the wooden sword in his hand to the charcoal fire, and said as if casually: "The iron brand of your waiting is gone, and if you are caught by a slave, you will be whipped." I can help you rebrand, but you can't tell anyone you've seen us! ”

My aunt was stunned, and thanked him: "The untouchables will never forget the grace of adults!" ”

The aunt grabbed the little beggar's left arm and stacked up the rags.

The little beggar was unwilling and kicked and beat his aunt: "I don't want to brand that mark, it's a mark of shame, I don't want to brand that mark!" ”

The tall man said lightly: "Even if it's a shame, you have to live!" ”

He stretched out the red-hot wooden sword to the little beggar's delicate wrist, and burned it with a ruthless heart.

A burning stench of burning skin hit my nose.

The boy looked at the little beggar sympathetically.

The little beggar yelled at him, "What are you laughing at? You're a pariah too, and you're not qualified to laugh at me! ”

The tall man seemed to be talking to himself: "From here to the northwest go ten mountains, and then down the mountain, there is the salt lake of Ai Yur, where the untouchables can dry their salt, and although they are more bitter, they can always think of living." There are many wild beasts in this mountain, and there are many dangers. ”

Aunt Mu raised her head: "My lord, why are you helping us?" ”

The noble woman was indifferent: "We are untouchables, not adults." ”
