Chapter 18: The Truth
"Get out!" Chen Xiaomo shouted, and infinite true qi erupted in all directions, suddenly kicking up the dust in the sky.
Shen Yuehua's expression changed, and she covered it with her hand slightly, while the dog baby and a few others took several steps back before gaining a firm foothold.
As for Boss Hu, it was the worst, he was directly swept away by this powerful true air current, and hit a stone wall, immediately spurting out a large mouthful of blood.
Chen Xiaomo turned around extremely calmly, and his originally fierce gaze instantly changed back to his previous peace. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would not have believed that this young man in front of him had such great ability, and with this aura alone, even some outstanding disciples of the Great Gate Sect would be difficult to emit it.
Shen Yuehua hurriedly walked over, "Xiaomo, are you okay?"
Chen Xiaomo shook his head, and his breath had completely pressed into the sea of qi.
The dog's father was still immersed in the shock just now, the dog's baby was a child after all, after a moment of surprise, he rushed to Chen Xiaomo with cheers, dragging Chen Xiaomo's shirt, "Big brother, you are so amazing!"
Chen Xiaomo smiled, touched the dog's head, and didn't say anything.
It's no wonder that any child who sees the big hero in his mind should be extremely respectful.
Several people returned to the ruined temple, and Chen Xiaomo continued to sit down and talk with the old man.
"Old man, why are there so many beggars here?" Chen Xiao silently looked at the beggars scattered everywhere in the ruined temple, and couldn't help but have endless doubts in his heart.
The old man was about to answer, but the dog baby preemptively said, "Big brother, let me tell you a story!"
Once upon a time, the town was as quiet and peaceful as any other town, with people living and working in peace and contentment, and interacting with the outside towns.
At that time, the life of this town was indeed an equal life, because every family and every household in this town had the same property. Their property is the same, so naturally there is no hierarchy and uniform, and everyone gets along with each other on an equal footing, but they are also happy.
However, the people of this town love to steal, and every night, everyone puts on their night clothes and sneaks out to steal at night.
The first steals from the second, the second steals from the third, and so on. Because each family's property is basically the same, after one night of stealing, each family's property is still as much as before.
No one came out to stop it, and no one had anything to lose, and the custom of stealing at night was preserved.
Until one day, a scholar somehow suddenly broke into our town and settled here.
Because he is a scholar and knows how to be polite, righteous and honest, he naturally will not do anything to steal. He doesn't steal, but he can't control anyone else's theft. His possessions were as much as everybody's possessions, and he kept them in his house like that.
When night came, everyone came out to steal. The scholar did not want to go along with the trouble, but he could not bear to let the thief go home empty-handed, so he left his belongings at home and went out for a walk.
He walked to the edge of the long bridge, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed.
His neighbors, on the other hand, have turned into men in black, desperately stealing other people's things.
The same is that the first one stole the second one, and the second one stole the third one, but due to the arrival of the scholar, the last one stole not the first one, but the scholar's house.
On this night, except for the scholars, everyone received the same amount of money. However, due to the withdrawal of the scholars, the belongings of the others were stolen, but the belongings of the first family were preserved.
In this way, the first family had two possessions, while the scholar's possessions were reduced to zero.
In this way, the initial inequality of property becomes apparent.
Another night, the scholar also left the house, looking at the bright moon in the sky and reciting poetry. And others started a new round of stealing.
In this way, the first family's property became more and more, and the scholar became a complete poor egg. Not only that, due to the poverty of the scholar's family, several families above the scholar also suffered from the gradual emptiness of their belongings.
The belongings of the first family were already piled up in the house, while the belongings of the rest of the families were gradually being squeezed dry. Within a few days, there was a gap between the rich and the poor in this town.
The first shop appeared in the originally self-sufficient town, and it was the first rich man who came. Others, living in poverty, gave up stealing and became part of the wealthy shop.
The rich are getting more and more money and are constantly squeezing ordinary people. Some people are overwhelmed and want to escape from the town, but the rich who have property have the right to manage the town.
The rich man sent thugs to seal off the town, and he was not allowed to enter or leave, and he wanted all the people in the town to work for him.
After all, the size of this town is small, and it is impossible for everyone to find a job. If you want to get a job, you either have a particularly strong ability or have some connections with rich people. Those of us who have neither ability nor connections can only be reduced to beggars.
Not only that, but in order to strengthen his control over the town, the rich man abolished the original currency, and instead used copper coins to create a particularly thick copper coin, which only circulated in this town. But those who do not have copper coins can only become beggars or starve to death.
Chen Xiaomo remembered the copper coin he saw during the day, such a thick copper coin, of course, it could only be circulated in this town.
"Didn't you resist?" Shen Yuehua heard that this rich man was so arrogant, and his originally calm and indifferent face couldn't help but swell with anger.
"These rich people are very powerful, not only do they have strong martial arts, but even a group of people under them are among the best people in this town, most of them are martial artists, we are not their opponents at all, we can only let them slaughter. At this, the old man's face was filled with infinite sorrow.
Chen Xiaomo's expression changed, remembering what the old man said just now, and a wooden stick in his hand suddenly broke into two, "You mean, we entered this town and can't get out from now on?"
"Of course, this is not the case, if Childe can come up with 10,000 copper coins, then the rich man will also let Childe out of the city. ”
The old man said fifteen-ten.
"He's dreaming!" Chen Xiaomo suddenly snorted, his fists clenched tightly, making a crackling sound, "This person is so arrogant and domineering, he even has to charge for going out of the city, it's really lawless." If you don't give him some color, he really doesn't know what his last name is!"
"The man's surname is Huangfu. The dog baby said timidly, which made Chen Xiaomo laugh dumbly.
