Chapter 1: The Age of Awakening!
A person who has no spirit is a person whose heart is desolate.
A nation without spirit is a nation with a dark future.

"Let's go first, don't stay here, those people do business on the road, and they have a relationship with the people on the road, and the Wa State is a black-and-white group, if you want to track us down, it is inevitable to use black power."
Xia Yuan thought about it and opened his eyes: "Although Xinduo is next to the border, it is too backward, and doing business here will inevitably contact people we don't want to contact, unless it is a more important city in Dianma and Burma." β
"Yangon." The fat man said: "I only know about Dian Burma in Yangon, and there are many Chinese there. β
Yangon is one of the prosperous cities in Yangon, and it is also a more famous city, there are more than 200,000 Chinese in Yangon, these Chinese are the descendants of the expeditionary force, and there are also those who went abroad to dig for gold in the seventies and eighties, and they stayed abroad and did not go back.
And the fat man's understanding of Dianmyana is Yangon.
Yangon is a city that Xia Yuan is more familiar with, in my regimental commander's world, he once arrived in Yangon, and the expeditionary force lost the battle, so he did not stay there for long, and retreated.
"Yangon is too far away from here." The thin man said.
Xia Yuan was also thinking about this problem, he said: "I still have to find someone, I can't go to Yangon, Yangon is too far away, I need to settle in a city near Wa State." β
The bald head said: "Yes, Brother Yuan is here to recruit people, by the way, Brother Yuan, the person you are looking for is in the 425 Park, will it be more difficult to find if we leave Wa State." β
Xia Yuan said: "The Wa State Group has a relationship with the local private armed forces and the public bureau, we will not leave, it is estimated that it will not be long before the Wa State Group will search the Wa State, we have to wait until the limelight passes, before entering the Wa State, we will settle down in the towns near the Wa State." β
The thin man said suddenly: "Let's go to Nandu, Nandu is more than fifty kilometers away from Wa State, and it takes about two or three hours to drive, and Nandu is also a relatively wealthy city." β
The fat man was stunned, "Where did you get the map?" β
The thin man said, "On the wall of the supermarket, don't you see?" β
Everyone shook their heads, and the thin man spread his hands and said, "Well, I thought you saw it." β
Xia Yuan suddenly found that this thin man was still a talent, took the map and looked at it, there is indeed a big city in Wa State, only more than fifty kilometers away from Wa State, compared to Xinduo, Nandu is more prosperous and has more opportunities, and although Xinduo has a good geographical location, it lacks opportunities for development, unless it comes into contact with gray industries.
He doesn't want to get in touch with these gray industries, and once he does, it's like a quagmire, and he will be stuck in it and can't get out.
In fact, even Xia Yuan didn't know what would greet him next, but the top priority was to buy a mobile phone and a calling card, to be able to contact his family, he had been missing for more than ten days, although the family would not ask, but if he didn't contact his family for such a long time, the family would think about what he was doing during this time.
The second is how Pei Shanshan is doing at home.
Walking and stopping along the way, near the evening, finally arrived in the southern capital, led by Xia Yuan three people, with the Burmese language learned in the 425 park, Xia Yuan can also have a simple communication with the local people, the four of them spent 20,000 kyats to rent two simple rooms, as a foothold.
Xia Yuan has his own room, three people in a room, because he has to cross at night, he didn't let them separate one person to live with him, the three of them have no question about such a plan, they have subconsciously regarded Xia Yuan as their boss, what Xia Yuan says, that's what, as for the place to eat and live, they don't dislike it, when they were in the 425 park before, the food and accommodation conditions were not as good as here.
It's late at night, but next door to Xia Yuan are three people looking forward to following Xia Yuan's future life, the fat man is still eating expired biscuits, the taste is a little strange, he still eats with relish, the thin man is groping for the Burmese dollar in his pocket, with a comfortable expression on his face, and the bald head chatting with them.
"Escaping from inside, it's like a dream, Lao Tzu hasn't slowed down this momentum yet, it seems like he's still in the 425 park."
The bald head turned over, looked at the fat man who ate a mouthful of biscuit crumbs, and said, "You know how to eat, talk about it." β
The fat man burped, "What are you talking about?" β
Bald head: "Tell me what you think of Brother Yuan?" β
The fat man swallowed the food in his mouth, groaned a little, took another bite of the biscuit, and said casually: "What can you think, Brother Yuan is an ambitious person, strong in force, we follow him, even if we can't be rich, but at least we won't be hungry in this life." β
The bald man asked the thin man again: "What about you?" β
The thin man who groped for the Burmese yuan turned his head and grinned: "I don't have any opinion, just two words, Niu Shu!" β
The fat man felt that the bald head had an idea in his heart, so he asked, "What's the matter, do you have an idea in your heart?" β
The bald head groaned: "Brother Yuan saved us and made us less abused, but we can't repay him for saving our lives by being a cow and a horse in this life, it's impossible to have no ideas, Brother Yuan's strength is so strong, the three of us can't hold back, we can't let Brother Yuan contribute to everything, and we don't do anything." β
The fat man was stunned, his chewing action paused, and he turned his head to look at the bald head: "Are you enlightened?" β
Three black lines rose on the bald forehead: "Get out, you've just opened up, do you want to be a pig all the time?" β
He looked at the thin man again: "You can't be a stick insect, can you?" β
The bald head pondered and said: "I want to practice martial arts with Brother Yuan, he is a practitioner, I can see it, you don't see Brother Yuan's explosive power, he can knock Brother Kun to death at once, this kind of explosive power, do you think Tyson can kill a person?" I'm not talking about using my fists to hit my head, but with my shoulders, and I worship Bruce Lee, but I feel like Bruce Lee shouldn't be able to do that. β
The fat man put down the biscuit in his hand, wiped the biscuit crumbs from his mouth, and said: "One person can deal with thirteen guards with electric batons and batons, and knock all thirteen people to the ground, don't you know, that kick directly kicked people's bones, that punch lake in the opponent's waist, did you hear the sound of broken ribs?" Bruce Lee and Tyson are here, you can deal with four or five, and you can deal with thirteen, which is enough. β
He gestured with both hands to Xia Yuan's movements, which looked very funny, but he couldn't stop his eyebrows from dancing, "He's too powerful, no, no, I'm going to pee." β
Excitedly, he got out of bed and ran to the public bathroom in the hallway outside to pee.
The bald head looked at the thin man, "Have fat people always been like this?" β
The thin man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't have much contact with him before." β
"Oh." The bald head touched the smooth head, and the picture of the battle in the corridor came to mind, grinning and smiling: "Grandma's, if only I had such a powerful hand, what guard, Brother Peng, Lao Tzu punched one by one, and all the special codes were knocked down!" β
The thin man couldn't bear to hit him, but he still said very bluntly: "Okay, don't YY, I think your idea is good, when you settle down, let's go to Brother Yuan together, I also want to practice martial arts." β
The bald head looked at the thin man and asked him, "Do you have any ideals?" β
The thin man touched his head, thought for a moment, thought of the money in his pocket, and thought: "I want to be a pickpocket, phew, no, it's an assassin, I found my ideal, touch the corpses, take what is on them." β
He took the money out of his pocket and said, "Look, this is the money I got from them, and a watch, albeit a bargain." β
Three black lines rose from the bald head and smooth head, and I felt that the fat and thin guys were just like a sleeping dragon and a phoenix.
"You two don't fool Brother Yuan."
The thin man said: "How is it possible, I just found my own fun today, and it won't affect Brother Yuan." β
"Hopefully."
After a while, the fat man ran over and smiled: "Bald, when will I go to find Brother Yuan, I also want to learn martial arts." β
The bald head, who was about to sleep, turned his head to look at the fat man's physique, put his head on his arm, and said, "You are so fat, can you do it?" β
The fat man said: "Why not, looking at a natural armor, don't you think it's very powerful?" Lao Tzu can be used as a tank to charge ahead. β
"Come on, it's down with one shot, and it's still natural armor."
The bald head was too lazy to chat with them, and felt that if he continued to talk, there would be a problem with his IQ.
......
The sky is clear and the sun is shining.
In the mountains, high and low grass huts are scattered, and farmers with sallow faces caused by long-term malnutrition work in the fields, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, staring at the scorching sun, naked, wearing a pair of black linen trousers, stepping on the hot ground with bare feet, struggling to wave the agricultural tools in their hands, sweat dripping down their chins and falling on the fields.
In the village, barefoot, dark-skinned, hungry children run and play.
"Get out of here!"
In the distance, shouting and scolding were heard, and the barefoot children dispersed.
A group of men with guns on their backs walked in front of them, carrying four large sedan chairs on their shoulders, and entered from the entrance of the village.
In the middle of the village, there is a high and low tile house, three rooms in the northwest and south, the gate is facing the direction of the rising sun, although the people who enter are wearing coarse linen clothes, but their faces are ruddy, they are wearing shoes on their feet, and even carrying guns behind their backs, they carry a sedan chair and stop at the door, a middle-aged man comes down from the sedan chair, wearing a brocade robe, wearing a felt hat, holding a nanmu cane, and then three sedan chairs stop one after another, and three young women come down from the sedan chair, snuggling next to the middle-aged man.
The old butler walked out head-on: "Master, you are back." β
The middle-aged man asked, "Is this year's harvest good?" β
The old housekeeper sighed and shook his head: "Although it is good, the county town requires that the tax be doubled this year." β
The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, "More than that, I just came back from the county seat, and the tax required there has been paid in two years, and I have to pay it all at once." β
The old butler's hand was trembling gently: "Two years, two years later...... This, this is going to kill a lot of people......"
The middle-aged man said: "I don't care, the tax will be doubled this year, and when I collect the grain, tell the person who collects the grain that if there is a shortage of two catties, I will hit it directly and break my hands and feet." β
The old housekeeper's lips pursed, and the middle-aged man stared at him: "I have dozens of people from the Xia family to support, and it is difficult for me, and this is the policy above, it has nothing to do with me, you can do it." β
The old butler lowered his head: "Yes." β
After the harvest, as long as part of the grain is paid, the remaining grain can make their family eat enough, or even save some food, and there will be surplus grain in the coming year, and the surplus grain will be saved for emergency needs.
Life in the old days was hard, and the peasants made fun of it.
However, this year does not seem to be going well, the weather is hot and dry, not a drop of rain has fallen, the grain production in the fields has been reduced, but the landlord's old housekeeper has brought a bad news, the landlord has asked to pay three times the grain this year, so the news will be overwhelmed by the peasants who have just finished the harvest, one day, the head of the whole village seems to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and at night the men and women of every household lie in bed and cannot sleep all night.
After a period of time, the landlord began to collect grain from house to house, some people put all the grain in the house, and even the surplus grain stored before were handed over and there was still a vacancy, the landlord will not be merciful to those villagers who did not pay enough food, and they broke into the house with people that night, and beat them, Xia San's family has little land, little grain, all the grain has been paid, and it has not been able to pay enough, that night a group of people kicked open the door and beat Xia San and his wife, Xia San was killed on the spot, and his wife was beaten into a madman, Eleven or twelve-year-olds were taken and sold.
When the neighbors heard the screams next door, they didn't dare to come out to see that this was the landlord's people beating people, and at this time of year, many people in the village who did not pay enough food would be severely beaten by the landlord.
On the second day, the tragic situation of Xia San's family did not arouse the anger of the rest of the village, only with little sympathy and numbness, numbness to life, numbness to the future.
Within a few days, Xia San's family was gradually forgotten, and there was an extra crazy woman in the village, swaying, not knowing when she left the village, and didn't know when she died in a corner, stiff, stinky, and no one paid attention to it.
Xia San's house was demolished by the landlord and others, and all the useful and valuable things were taken away, leaving only a dilapidated house, which was gradually deserted, and the low house still proves that it was once inhabited.
After a few more years, there was another crazy child in the village, ragged and unkempt, begging in the village, and the villagers saw Xia San's shadow on the face of this crazy child.
"Xia San's son fled back."
"Shhhh
When he met a crazy child, the children in the village bullied him, beat and scolded him, and the crazy child didn't fight back, just a strong smirk, and the children called him 'fool', and when night fell, he slept in the field, the sky was the quilt, and the earth was the bed.
The next morning, he sat on the ridge of the field, looking at the village in the distance, and from time to time he bowed his head and sighed, with the wisdom of an adult in his eyes.
"A backward, poor old era?"
From being ruined to living on the streets, Xia Yuan sighed at the embarrassment of fate, and had a little more new thinking about the identity arrangement when the system crossed, and it turned out that he would also travel to the madman.
[Mission: Awakening Age!] γ
γDing! Enter the quest world and get your identity: the fool who wanders in the village! γ
"Awakening Age...... Xia Yuan pondered, looking at the village in the distance, and faintly felt that the so-called 'awakening' was something to awaken.
The numbness of the peasants, the numbness of the bottom of society, in the face of the oppression of the landlords, but they think that this is a habitual thing, they are like the livestock of the landlords, let the whip fall on their bodies, knowing that it hurts, but they can't even resist.
It's not just their bodies that are numb, but also the numbness of their minds.
