Chapter 24: The Sarikas
A group of Ah San looked at Xiao Gu with concern.
"Mr. Gu, where have you been, we thought you were captured by that group of soldiers?"
In a word, Xiao Gu was suspicious.
"What do you mean? Soldiers arrest people? ”
The man hurriedly said: "Don't mention it, this morning, the soldiers searched those Dalits like crazy, and we civilians did not let go, and some of the food you told us to hide was also taken away. ”
"Say what is the replenishment of military supplies."
Xiao Gu was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but asked angrily, "What?" Why are they robbing us of our food? ”
As he spoke, there was another violent knock on the door.
"Open the door, open the door! Hurry up and open the door, the military search! ”
The people in the courtyard all looked at Kotani.
Xiao Gu nodded with a gloomy face.
A strong man from Ah San went to open the door, and then a dozen or so soldiers swarmed in.
The soldier at the head wore his hat crookedly, and his face was gloomy as he glanced into the courtyard.
"Who of you is in charge here?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiao Gu one after another.
"Mr. Gu!"
Xiao Gu looked at these soldiers in front of him coldly, and he was a big mouth.
"Untouchables, what are you doing? Rebellion? ”
"Who gave you the right to enter the courtyard of a Kshali emperor so arrogantly?"
A slap stunned the soldier at the head.
Spinning in place, you can imagine how much strength Kotani has.
It took a while for the soldier to react before he came to his senses.
looked at Kotani angrily.
"Bastard, what kind of Shari Emperor are you! You're nothing but a yellow-skinned monkey! ”
These words angered a large number of people.
Some of the soldiers around him, including him, looked at him dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously.
Gao Zhiyuan didn't understand it at all, but when he saw Youxue's gloomy face that was about to drip, he knew that this was definitely not a good word.
Kotani was prepared.
Ah San is very interesting, and they will subconsciously divide them into castes for foreigners.
Skin tone is also an important point.
They generally believe that there is a correlation between skin color and caste, with the upper castes being more light-skinned and the lower castes having darker skin.
This is mainly due to historical reasons, as the first to conquer the indigenous people were light-skinned people, while the conquered were dark-skinned.
So, sometimes you can tell the caste of this person just by looking at the color of the skin.
But there are other ways to distinguish between them. For example, the caste system is related to occupation.
For example, a street sweeper will certainly not be a high-class caste; And a doctor would not be a lower caste.
To put it bluntly, with high social status and wealth, you can also become a high caste.
The whole world figured this out.
As for foreigners, who you associate with, what kind of social status you have in the local area, are the key factors in judging what caste you are in.
And Xiao Gu, who has a lot of resources, and is a high-ranking official, will naturally be classified as Emperor Kshali.
But, this one, too, is moisture.
I don't really think of you as a high caste, probably because the customer is God, you can enjoy the service, but you are not really God.
That's why the soldier spoke to Kotani like that.
But Kotani didn't panic at all.
"It's not for the Khari Emperor, it's not for you little soldier to decide, now I need to be quiet, please go out immediately!" Otherwise, I will send a report to New Delhi to tell your military minister how the soldiers at the grassroots level look down on a noble Chinese. ”
Xiao Gu's identity is a merchant in China.
Pretty merchant.
These words really stopped the soldiers.
"We are going to search for food, now please cooperate, no matter what caste you are, cooperate with the actions of the military!"
Speaking of this, Kotani smiled.
Ah San in the courtyard couldn't help but interject: "There have been three waves of people since the morning, is the military trying to force us to death?" ”
Xiao Gu glanced at the man soothingly.
"Whoever gives the order, you go to! I am not only a high-caste Sarika, but also a Chinese merchant. Now that the army is besieging the city and offending me, you should be able to imagine what will happen! ”
"Do you still think you can hold this place?"
The smile on his face was extremely disdainful.
As for covering up identities? does not exist.
What is hidden and tucked is even more impossible.
What I want is to be so arrogant, and tell you clearly that in your country, I am awesome, and I am also awesome in our country.
If you don't accept it, you will move!
At this moment, the madness of the military made Xiao Gu have to speed up.
The soldier glanced at the courtyard indignantly, and then said unwillingly: "Go!" Go to the next one! ”
Kotani just watched the soldiers go.
Ah San in the courtyard erupted in cheers.
I didn't follow the wrong person.
It's just that you can understand it, and look at Xiao Gu worriedly: "Brother Gu, this attitude is okay, right?" You can't let Ah San do something bad, right? ”
Xiao Gu looked at Youxue and laughed.
"Don't worry, elementary school, no problem. You don't know this Ah San, the stronger you are, the more afraid he is! ”
"If you give him face, he will dare to hurry up for me now, believe it or not?"
Of course, I believed it.
After Xiao Gu finished joking, he said to the people in the courtyard, "Everyone get together!" I have something to say! ”
The people in the courtyard listened to Xiao Tani's call.
Hurriedly gathered together.
Xiao Gu looked at these people and showed a faint smile on his face: "The current situation is also clear to everyone, now that the army is pressing, the military does not think about defending, but robs us of the food of defenseless people, it can be seen that they have not put their minds on defending your city at all!" ”
"I was out walking this morning and I had an incident."
As he spoke, he told the military about the guns used by the military on a few children.
aroused Ah San's dissatisfaction.
It's too much.
"Mr. Gu, you say, what should we do now?"
At this moment, these people all regard Xiao Gu as the backbone.
Xiao Gu smiled slightly: "What should I do?" At the moment, there is only one way! ”
"Set things right!"
After Xiao Gu finished speaking, everyone was silent.
They all stared at each other with wide eyes.
This!
This is!
What does this mean?
Youxue gently tugged at Kotani's sleeve.
"Brother Gu, to put it succinctly, they don't understand the meaning of these four words!"
Xiao Gu was stunned when he heard this, and quickly patted his forehead.
Then he said again: "It means that you can take refuge in our army, that is, the army that is besieging the city outside!" ”
"With me as a guarantee, your future days will not be too bad!"
Everyone understands this.
A group of people whispered.
"Take refuge in Huaxia? We, the untouchables, the commoners, take refuge in the past, and others don't want it, right? ”
"No, isn't it a betrayal to take refuge? Our ancestral graves will be dug up. ”
