Chapter 100 and 9 The chain of contempt among slaves
This heavy rain fell for seven days, and in seven days, Gu Li not only succeeded in building the foundation, but also stabilized her realm to the third layer of the foundation, which was the result of her efforts to suppress it, with the shelter of the heavy rain, no one knew that in this cloud outer realm, another strong foundation building was born.
And the strange thing is that in these seven days, the supply of the Song family has not been interrupted for a day, every three days, someone will come to bring food to Gu Li, and the thunder will not move, and the person who comes will ask every time: "Our son-in-law invited the girl to come to the Song family as a guest, I don't know if the girl is willing." ”
After receiving a negative reply, the person who came was not annoyed, put down the gift and left as usual, without a word of superfluous nonsense.
The rain finally stopped that day, Mo Chi went out to look at the sky and the water in the rice fields outside, and suddenly frowned and said, "I want to go to visit relatives today, are you at home to look after the house?" ”
In the past few days, Gu Li's cultivation has become more and more urgent, she must form a knot within half a month, and when she becomes a strong knot, plus her swordsmanship that can enter the Dao, she will be able to walk sideways in this cloud outer realm.
In this Cloud Outer Realm, the most powerful cultivator at the moment is a noble family master who has just married a Dan, but the people living in this Cloud Outer Realm, although they are extremely vicious on the surface, and they are more or less carrying human lives on their backs, but the more fierce people are, the more they will spare their lives, and they will not be willing to fight hard.
Gu Li looked up at Mo Chi, she used a question sentence, but Gu Li felt that it didn't seem so simple for Mo Chi to go out to visit relatives this time, after getting along these days, Mo Chi's vision and behavior didn't look like a beggar who knew a little medical skills at all, this guy was by no means simple.
Mo Chi has been soft-mouthed these days, and told Gu Li a lot of things about the Cloud Outer Realm and the Cloud Country, but he never revealed how she came here, only that she was exiled here, but Gu Li knew that she had been to the Great Qian Country, and maybe she had traveled in the outside world for many years, so why did she come here later?
But these have little to do with her Gu Li, at most, she promised Bai Zhi to help him find Mo Chi, and when she was about to leave, she just found the time to help Bai Zhi ask.
Looking at Mo Chi, Gu Li knew it and said, "You can take some of the dim sum sent by the Song family and those boiled meats." ”
Hearing Gu Li say this, Mo Chi opened his eyebrows and smiled.
Mo Chi was going to a farther town in the south, which was no more than a hundred miles away from Luoxue Town, just a hundred miles, but a day was not enough.
Mo Chi told Gu Li that there were a total of one hundred towns in the entire Yunwai Realm, and the distance between each town was just one hundred miles, and the forces in each town were balanced, if there was any major conflict that caused the big forces in the town to disappear, the forces in other towns would send people to take over the town as quickly as possible.
Of course, there will also be wars in the outer realms of the clouds, and it is not uncommon for several families to join forces to annex other families, and some particularly large families will also govern several towns, but they don't dare to go too far, because there is another force outside the family, and that is the bandits who live in the mountains.
Specifically, the bandits are the most powerful force in the Yunwai Realm, because most of the bandit leaders are cultivators, they occupy the deep mountains and old forests, and they don't have time to manage the land and servants, they need money, so they just grab it.
Mo Chi didn't say when she would come back before leaving, so Gu Li continued to practice swords in the small courtyard indifferently.
However, Mo Chi left and didn't come back for three days, but Gu Li was not worried, just when Mo Chi left, she attached a wisp of spiritual power to Mo Chi, and Mo Chi was at least not in danger of life now.
Gu Li has always felt that Mo Chi's body seems to be very weak, and the people in the Yunwai Realm are much stronger than the people of the Great Qianguo, even if they are children, they all look more powerful than the adults of the Great Qianguo, but Mo Chi is like the weak women of the Great Qianguo, and even inferior.
This abnormal weakness made Gu Li feel that Mo Chi seemed to be the root of the disease after being punished very heavily, but Gu Li didn't care, Mo Chi's past had nothing to do with her Gu Li, and now the most important thing for her was to marry the Dan, and only when she succeeded in forming the Dan in her body could she have a steady stream of spiritual power.
Now that she is, no matter how big the sea of qi in her body is, it is limited after all.
On this day, she was meditating, but she heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, Gu Li thought to herself, after so many days, this Song Gongzi really took a fancy to herself, and she didn't know what delicious food she brought today.
As a result, when she opened the door, she was surprised to find that this time there were not only servants with gifts outside the door, but Song Gongzi himself had also come.
Song Gongzi jumped down from his horse, threw the reins to the servants behind him at will, and said with a smile: "Miss Gu has always refused to accept my invitation, do you want me to invite you personally?" ”
Gu Li has now successfully built the foundation, and his words are also hard: "If you come in person, I may not be free." ”
Song Gongzi was not annoyed, he looked up and suddenly saw Gu Li's poems on the wall when he practiced swords, he couldn't help but be stunned, and read it out: "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles." I can't imagine that you, a woman, still have such literary brilliance and such ambition. I also have a lot of books in my library, do you want to check them out? ”
Gu Li hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there a history book?"
Song Gongzi seemed to have met a bosom friend, and a warm smile appeared on his face: "Yes, yes!" I also like history books the most, there are both official and wild histories, especially some wild histories, which are particularly interesting, but unfortunately my father didn't like me to read history before, saying that it was all in the past, and we should take a long-term view and look forward......"
Gu Li said disapprovingly: "That's not necessarily, with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. ”
Song Gongzi immediately became elated: "You really have a very good level of what you said. ”
Gu Li thought about it for a long time, and then said a little reluctantly: "Okay, I'll go to the mansion with you, but I'm just going over to take a look, not selling myself as a concubine or anything." "She also needs to read the history books of this cloud country, which must have something about the Holy Maiden Temple, about the royal family.
And Song Gongzi's eyes were different from before, as if he had completely changed his mind about Gu Li: "In the future, you and I will be friends, don't mention it again for the sake of concubines." ”
Gu Li thought to herself, maybe her words made this Song Gongzi change his opinion of himself, did she stain Li Shimin's light?
"Then thank you Song Gongzi for your love." Gu Li said politely.
saw Song Gongzi said solemnly: "Don't you know that my name is Song Gongming?" In the future, don't call Song Gongzi Song Gongzi, just call me Gongming, the name is called by others. ”
Gu Li was stunned, she really didn't know that Song Gongzi's name was Song Gongming, but since he called himself Song Gongming, then call her Song Gongming.
Gu Li followed Song Gongming to Luoxue Town, and swam the whole town seriously in a carriage and horse, before she came here in tattered clothes to be called Huazi, and she really hadn't visited this town carefully.
Walking to a lively street market, Gu Li got off the carriage and walked on the lively street, at this time she also changed into a brand-new green cloth dress, although it was not gorgeous, it was decent.
There are a lot of pedestrians on this street, but almost everyone has a different surname tattooed on their necks, and most of them are slaves of each family, Gu Li then remembered why Mo Chi's expression was so proud when he said that he was begging on the street, most of the civilians here were forced by life to sell their sons and daughters and sell themselves, and there were very few people in the entire Luoxue Town who could hold on and not sell themselves.
There are indeed not many people like Mo Chi who would rather beg than be slaves, and begging is also a struggle for territory, and the peasants working in the fields outside have gradually become slaves of the nobles, and the villages have become the farms of the nobles.
Song Gongming invited Gu Li to ride a horse, but Gu Li refused, so Song Gongming also got off the horse gracefully and went shopping with Gu Li.
Gu Li found that Song Gongming's footsteps were steady and powerful when he walked, and he knew that he should also be a martial arts practitioner, but there was no spiritual power fluctuation in his body, but he was not a cultivator.
When the two were walking on the street, many people were secretly looking at the two of them with their spare eyes, and everyone knew that Song Dagongzi, the ruler of the Song family, had a crush on a woman, and often asked people to give gifts to this woman, which was said to be a very good-looking woman.
This kind of thing is not uncommon among the great nobles, the noble son takes a fancy to the commoner woman, impresses the other party with money, and after the fish is hooked, he will abandon it, and the woman can only look at the four corners of the sky at home. And looking at the two of them today, those slaves all showed sympathetic glances at Gu Li.
Gu Li is strange, what is your sympathetic gaze? Even if I sell myself as a concubine, I can be regarded as half a master, much better than you, okay? This is a very strange phenomenon, even if others are worse than you, you still have to sympathize with others.
There is also a hierarchy among the slaves, and the personal guards of those masters will look down on those who run errands, and those who run errands will look down on those who farm the land, and the slaves who farm the land will look down on those who call the commoners called Hanako.
It is said that the status of the free and easy commoners called Huazi should not be lower than those slaves who farm the land, but the commoners like Mo Chi often can't even afford to eat, which is even more difficult on the face of those slaves who farm the land, they can't afford to eat, what's the use of backbone?
In fact, people like Mo Chi who live a difficult life but do not sell themselves are very unpopular with those slaves, because this will make these slaves very spineless, those slaves who have a little power in their hands will deliberately let some people snatch a few copper plates that Mo Chi has worked so hard to get, and even among the people who go to Mo Chi's house to rob openly, they are not all called Huazi.
There are also some slaves who find someone to do it, they give Mo Chi a little copper plate during the day, watch Mo Chi thank them a thousand times, enjoy the feeling of being a human being, and when it gets dark, they will find someone to snatch the money back.
