============================
Ji'er looked at Zeqi's expression that was still smiling just now, and suddenly sank, wondering if he had something on his mind, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear that he would talk too much and affect the wound again.
However, Ji'er finally couldn't help but ask, "You don't seem to be happy, do you have something on your mind?"
"Nothing, just remembering something unhappy. Seeing Ji'er's brows frowning slightly, Zeqi couldn't bear her to worry in his heart, "By the way, Ji'er, can you tell me the story of Susu?"
"Okay. Ji'er smiled, but after a while, she frowned again. "But I had to get my father's consent. ”
Father, he will definitely not agree, Ji'er is worried.
"Why?" Zech wondered.
Ji'er hesitated for a while, but finally said: "I heard grandpa say that in the pre-slave era, all the ancestors in our village were slaves, and it was Su Su who initiated the slave revolution that allowed us to obtain the status of free people. In our hearts he was a hero, but in the eyes of the aristocracy, he was a sinner. My father was afraid that after I told you about our reverence for Su Su, you would tell the nobles about it. Some radical aristocrats, nobles who had suffered great losses in Susuna, would be against us.
"Oh, I see. Zeqi said, "Ji'er, I don't want you to be embarrassed, so don't talk about it." ”
"I went to my father and asked. Ji'er got up and left the room.
It went better than expected, and Ji'er's father still agreed to Ji'er's request. First, Zech had given his life to save Dick's life. Second, since the last incident, Zeqi has long known that they respect Su Su, and what he wants to tell those nobles has already been told, but now it is only for him to understand Su Su's story more deeply, and it is nothing.
......
A month later, Zechi's room.
With a thick book in her hand, Ji'er reads the story of the slave hero Abt to Zeqi.
Zeqi reclined on the bed, enjoying the moment, accompanied by a gentle and kind girl, and telling him stories every day.
After listening to Susu's story, Zeqi gradually admired and admired him a little, and he finally knew why Ji'er and Dick revered Susu. In the process of listening, there are many words in the book that Ji'er doesn't know, and Zeqi acts as a teacher to teach Ji'er to read.
He also often discusses Susu's various deeds with Ji'er. He felt that although his body was aching during this time, he was happy every day, which was a good time he had never had since his father left him. He knew that this was a time he would never forget.
"Brother Zeqi, do you say that the pre-slave era was really that terrifying? People are like an object, there is no freedom, and slave owners can kill and abuse their slaves at will. When a female slave is married, her first time must be sacrificed to the slave owner. Ji'er felt scared when she thought about it, and her mouth was still shaking when she said it.
"I don't know, it was 500 years ago. But I've heard others say the same, and it should be true. Zeqi didn't have an answer in his mind, but he remembered that Grandpa White had told him about his former slave days.
"How are you doing now?" asked Ji'er curiously, after all, she was a free citizen herself, and she couldn't feel what it was like for Zeqi to be a slave.
Zeqi pondered for a moment and said, "Thanks to Susu, we have the protection of the slave code, and slave owners are not allowed to abuse and mutilate slaves at will. As long as we work hard every day, the Nord family will give us enough food to live. The harder you work, the more you get. At the same time, the Nord family also protects us from foreign bandits, monsters, etc. ”
"The Nords are a nice nobleman, aren't they?" asked Ji'er, who had never heard Zeqi say anything bad about the Nord family before, and only praised it.
"Yes, at least in all the nobles I know. Zech replied, "I have heard that among the other nobles, there are those who secretly abuse and mutilate slaves, as they did in the former slave days. ”
"Ahh
"Don't, don't worry. Zeqi didn't expect Ji'er to have such a big reaction, and immediately comforted, "There are restrictions on the slave code, and only a few nobles do it secretly. If the abused slaves were lucky enough to escape, they could appeal for themselves in the manor courts. ”
"The Code of Slaves, it's amazing. With just a piece of paper, it protects thousands of slaves. Ji'er exclaimed, "I wish I could see what is written in the slave code." ”
"yes, I haven't seen it either. Zeqi said. But I made up my mind that I would definitely get a book to see if I had the chance.
"Smack. ”
The door opened. Dick limped in.
"Dick!" Zeche was excited to see that Dick could walk. Although Dick was injured more than Zeqi, most of them were shallower than Zeqi, so he naturally got better faster.
"Brother Zech!" exclaimed Dick excitedly.
"Big brother?" Zeqi was stunned. Ji'er was even more shocked than him, you must know that in the walled house village, the people who are called big brothers are all admirable people. In Su Su's biography, the people who followed Su Su to make a revolution called Su Su the eldest brother. Big Brother is an honorary title that is admired and revered.
"Brother Zeqi, you once fought against a group of night rat hunters alone, and you were not afraid of danger, and even killed the night rat hunting king. Although you are only a year older than me, I am impressed by your courage and strength, and you are the bravest person I have ever met. You and I didn't know each other, but you sacrificed your life to save me, and you were more injured than me, but you carried me home with a strong will. In short, you will be my big brother from now on. ”
Zeqi saw that Dick was very serious, and it didn't hurt to think about multiple brothers, so he nodded, "Okay." ”
On the side, Ji'er said in a loud voice: "Brother's eldest brother, isn't that also my eldest brother?"
"Ji'er, you don't have to ......" Dick wasn't finished yet.
"No, I will," Ji'er said firmly, facing Zeqi, "Big brother!"
Zeqi felt his face burn as hot.
