Zuo Xingyan was stunned, "Why not?" ”

Could it be that this child is afraid that she is a bad person? Zuo Xingyan was a little anxious, and was about to explain, when the young man spoke again.

"I've already drunk your porridge and can't ask for anything else. Ask whatever you want, and I'll tell you what I know. The boy's dark little face was full of seriousness.

Zuo Xingyan was slightly stunned, and his heart was inexplicably sour.

She directly stuffed the steamed bun into the young man's hand, "A bowl of porridge is not enough, this has to be given to you!" ”

The young man froze, and it took a while to react, he saw that Zuo Xingyan was serious, and finally did not refuse again, his little hand clutched the steamed bun tightly, and even his eyes were a little brighter.

"What do you want to ask?" He asked.

Zuo Xingyan scratched his chin and was suddenly stopped by the young man.

She wanted so much to know about the island, but when she asked at once, she didn't have a clue.

"I want to know everything, just say whatever you want, tell me whatever comes to mind, everything about this island." Zuo Xingyan said.

When the young man heard this, he also lowered his head and began to think, and after a while, he looked up at Zuo Xingyan, "Then I'll tell you about the distribution of the island first." ”

Zuo Xingyan nodded and listened carefully to the young man.

After Quanzhou Island was taken over by Sun Feng, the sin slaves on the island were divided into four parts.

East, West, North and South districts.

The work in the Eastern District is the most tiring, because two years ago, Sun Feng found a mineral vein in the Eastern District, which can be excavated and gemstones, and he reported the matter to the imperial court, and used the annual quota of precious stones to exchange for a large number of food tools with the imperial court.

The West District is the area where Zuo Xingyan and the others were assigned today, and it is the easiest place to work, only cutting grass and cutting trees every day to open up more places for the residents of the island.

The cut weeds and trees can also be used to feed livestock and build houses, the only danger is that poisonous insects and weeds will be poisonous, so you must be careful when working.

After all, if the sin slave is poisoned, no one will heal him, so he can only wait quietly to die.

Although the southern area is the place where grain and fruits are grown on the island, although the imperial court sends a large amount of grain every year, Sun Feng knows how unreliable the imperial court is, so he has selected a lot of slaves who are good at farming, and has been studying how to cultivate high-yield crops on the barren island.

This job sounds good, but in fact it is walking on thin ice, once the deadline is not harvested the amount of grain specified by Sun Feng, those sin slaves who farm the land will be severely punished, and even die.

In the northern area, where livestock and seafood were raised, Sun Feng ordered the officials to take a boat to the shore and bring back the young of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and other livestock for the slaves to raise.

It sounds easy, but all the fodder and forage that the livestock eats must be the responsibility of the slave himself, and once the animal loses weight or dies of disease, the slave will end up with the animal.

In the past, there was a pig raised by a criminal slave who was hungry and thin because he had no food, and Sun Feng directly ordered the official to kill the criminal slave, chop it into pieces, and throw it into the trough to feed the pig.

The island seems to have a clear division of labor, everyone has a job, but in fact, everyone is in danger and lives in fear every day.

"You have to do a lot of work every day, and you only have one meal a day, and if you don't finish your meal quickly, you will be snatched away by others." After the boy said that, he added.

Only then did Zuo Xingyan understand why he cherished food so much.

Do you have to work every day and end up eating only one meal, or is it spoiled food like that?

Aren't slaves of sin human?

Yes, on this island, the slaves are not human at all, and they are not even as precious as a livestock.

Zuo Xingyan felt in a trance that he had come to the end of the world again, and these sin slaves were poor people who were struggling in the last days.

But the people of the last days can at least fight and have a glimmer of life. There is no hope for the people of this island.

"You said you were born here, so when did your mother come?" Zuo Xingyan was suddenly a little curious about the young man's life experience.

When the young man heard Zuo Xingyan ask about his mother, a slight uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

"My mother...... They said that my mother was the daughter of a criminal minister, she came here as a teenager, and my mother said that she would never be able to escape in her life, and then she had no hope of leaving with me......"

The more the boy spoke, the lower his voice became.

Zuo Xingyan captured an important point from his words.

"Did your mother conceive you after she came here?"

Zuo Xingyan's fingertips trembled slightly, she didn't want to ask more, but she couldn't help but want to confirm, "Then your father ......"

"I don't know who my father is, when I was a child, when I asked my mother, my mother would go crazy, cry, and beat me." The boy's head hung low, as if he was guilty of self-blame.

He felt that he was a drag on his mother.

Zuo Xingyan was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

She put her hand on the boy's thin shoulder, "Don't talk about that, let's talk about something else." ”

"Hmm." The young man answered, and began to tell Zuo Xingyan about the rules on the island.

The island is divided into southeast, south, and northwest, all of which are areas where slaves operate, and the middle part is where Sun Feng and the officials live, as well as a few ordinary residents on the island.

There was food and water, and the shelter was more comfortable, and it was a paradise in the eyes of all the sinful slaves, and a place they could not set foot in for the rest of their lives.

The inhabitants of the island were some people who came to live on the island on their own initiative, and they gave Sun Feng enough money to be eligible to settle here.

And the inhabitants have the privilege of being a slave of sins, and they can move around the island at will, and command them at will without harming the lives of the slaves.

But these residents are not completely free, and if they break the rules set by Sun Feng, they will be driven out of Quanzhou Island.

Most of those residents had committed some evil deeds outside, hiding from the enemy or the people who were being pursued by the imperial court, and they finally found a shelter, so they naturally did not dare to offend Sun Feng easily.

So this delicate balance is maintained on the island, but in the end, it is the slave who suffers the most.

Not only did they have to be reprimanded and disciplined by the officials, but they also had to deal with difficult errands from the residents from time to time.

"I heard that there will be a killing ritual in a while, go and take a look!"

Just when Zuo Xingyan wanted to ask something more, a sin slave hurriedly ran in front of them, and the killing ritual was mentioned in his mouth.

"That's right! Killing ritual! Zuo Xingyan clapped her hands violently, and she said that she had forgotten something, when she first arrived on the island, Sun Feng mentioned this ceremony.

"Killing rituals?" The young man's face turned a little pale.

"What does that do? Who are you going to kill? Pirates? Zuo Xingyan asked a series of questions.

The boy looked in the direction where the slaves were running, "It's not just about killing pirates......

He muttered in a low voice, and Zuo Xingyan couldn't hear the next words clearly.

"Can you be louder? I didn't hear ...... Hey, why are you going? ”

Before she could finish asking, the boy slammed up from the ground as if he had been pricked by a needle, and ran quickly in the other direction.

Zuo Xingyan wanted to follow, but was pulled back.
