Chapter 4: First Insights

“…It can be exchanged for two and a half dou of bean seeds.”

"Yes, you can change to two and a half bean seeds..."

A man and a woman whispered in the low shack. It was late at night. They had just finished their last journey of life that day. Whether it was the straw sandals made by women or the journey back from the ground with their children, they all stopped because the night was the darkest. It was too late at night. They could not see anything and had to stop and prepare to go to bed. When the next day was dawn, they would immediately get up and continue to work, day after day, year after year...

Men are only twenty-seven or eight years younger than him, but they look wrinkled, like middle-aged and elderly people, with thin bodies, never straight waists, hoarse voices. These are their physical impressions, and the physical impressions of all the people they can see and touch. But they are pretty good, at least they have land to plant and have nests to sleep, instead of dying easily in the autumn wind like those savages. They are very glad that they were born as serfs, not savages or slaves. This is really a blessing they have cultivated for three lifetimes, just as they often say thanks to them.

Today, they will decide on a big thing, a big thing worth two and a half dots of bean seeds... They want to marry their eleven-year-old daughter to the cripple in the village. Although they are cripples and older, they are craftsmen at least. Even if they are just the smallest rope-binding craftsmen in the village, but craftsmen are craftsmen. In addition to paying half a share of tax on the slave fields, they can also get half a dot of beans or grass valleys that are slightly moldy every month from the manager. No matter which one is, they are all the best foods that can be eaten. If they encounter the birthday of the Lord or the sacrifice of the gods, they may be lucky enough to get a few pieces of grass cakes or grass pancakes that can only be eaten by the top. This is a family condition they envied.

The woman murmured again: "You can change to two and a half buckets of bean seeds. If you plant them, we can get six more land. As long as you are a few more diligent, we may be able to keep the seeds in the coming year and there will be more beans every year!!"

"...Yes, you can get more beans every year..." The man murmured in a low voice, but there were some other things in his language. Although there were only a few, there were indeed some.

The woman continued to murmur, "Then what are you waiting for? I'll promise the cripple tomorrow, marry me and leave early. Now it's still time to turn over. I always have to plant it earlier to be at ease."

"...I know, I know." The man seemed a little impatient, slowly and difficult. In the narrow shack with five children and two adults, he turned over and turned his back to the woman, but for a moment he didn't say anything else.

The woman seemed to know something. After waiting for a long time, she mustered up the courage to push the man and said, "You can't bear to leave the girl? But that's a bean seed of two and a half buckets, not grass seeds, not blue-skin seeds, but bean seeds. A portion of beans is thin enough to let you four men have a meal of beans."

The man seemed impatient to be pushed. He stretched his feet and kicked him hard, and was kicking the woman's belly. The woman was kicked so hard that she almost turned over. However, she forced herself to hold on, and did not scream or resist. She just returned to her original place again and didn't dare to speak for a while.

After a long time, the man said: "That lame man... seems to be a numb man. He married three women in a row. The older ones and the younger ones have married them, but he didn't let the woman give birth to a baby. He seemed to have brought some beans to find the craftsman village doctor's family. You know, the village doctor's craftsmanship is really good. Whether it is the master's cow, horse, pigs and dogs, it can be cured by such expensive things, so it is definitely even more cured by people. It is said... I mean, it is said that even the village doctor cannot do anything. It is not a problem for women, but he doesn't grow it... You know, two months ago, two months ago..."

The woman was silent, her body seemed to be trembling. Although she had seen that scene many times, she was still afraid. Although it was the life of a woman, she was still very scared, extremely scared...

"The woman has not been pregnant for two consecutive years, so she used the family to feed her... The man said that the family to feed her is a common idea of ​​domestic animals, but the people are as expensive as cows, horses, pigs and dogs, so the man will not eat it. The lame man used his third woman to feed her. The meat and bones exchanged a lot of beans, vegetables, and grass from other craftsmen. Although it was less than two and a half buckets of beans, it was also a lot. The skin was presented to the master according to the rules and rewarded him to go to the master's forest land to find a few small pieces of wood to support the shack. He still made a profit, our girl..." The man stopped at this point.

The woman was trembling all over. She said with a little anxiousness and panic: "Niu, Niu... Niu is a good woman who is not a woman who has no seeds. She can also make two pairs of straw sandals every day, not to compensate foodies, let alone we are not craftsmen. If we use her bones and flesh to exchange for craftsmen, the craftsmen will lower the price. Man, we, let's marry the girl. The cripple can definitely make the girl pregnant with the plant... Man..."

"I know, I know, I just said that. Do you really think I am such a cruel person. Even if you are a foodie, you can't use the family to pay for your own seeds... After all, it's my seed. If the lame man uses the family to give birth to the girl two years later, I'm afraid you will lose your soul like other women in the village, and I will have to have a family to give birth to you." The man's hoarse voice whispered, but the meaning of this made the woman feel warm and she almost burst into tears.

"No, no, man, this is our life, this is our life..."

"No, this is not your life, this is not anyone's life!"

On the hills far away in the village, Hao Qi stood there and said this silently. Even though there were blue veins on his forehead and back of his hands, he did not take action and did nothing else. He just stood there silently, listening to all the words of this village, several nearby villages, and even a town that was very far away.

Although the final fall site was not Zihai, it was still what it should be. As the arrival was completed, the investigation also began. In the coalition government, a very small number of people were born in the Black Sea or had a systematic understanding of the Black Sea. For example, the Black Sea Li Shuwen, among the two black and white fools, is the one who provided the most information.

After the arrival of the coalition government, thirteen internal Qi Realms in the coalition government submitted their applications for departure, which was a rule set by the coalition government outside. At the same time, more than 300 internal Qi Realms were submitted. These people were all concerned. It was not that the remaining people were all people without relatives and reasons. It was just that these people made choices, gained something, and gave up. However, after seeing what the human alliance did, even if they left, they were unlikely to be enemies of the coalition government, but instead they were potential enemies of the human alliance.

In addition to the departure of these people, the coalition government's understanding of the Black Sea has gradually become fuller, but the fullness of the perception does not mean that it is understandable. For example, what Hao Qi heard in front of him is that he could not believe it after receiving the investigation report and hearing the information from familiar people, so he had to come and confirm it in person.

But that's the case, the Black Sea... is a broken world.

This is an ocean of slavery. Even after two consecutive shocks, it will at most change from slavery to serfdom... But the essence has not changed. But if it were just that, Tom and Lan Jingling might have changed the Black Sea. The only reason that neither of them did was actually only one...

The slaves of the Black Sea have recognized all this from the root of their souls, and they even tried hard to maintain it. The most terrible thing they thought was to lose their slave status and become wandering savages in the wild, because they were walking dead without masters, thoughts, and wills...

According to the information concentrated by many people, Aizen World completely destroyed the Hei Family, and only one of the great elders of the Hei Family had almost escaped. The slavery system of the entire Black Sea was actually destroyed from its roots. During the most powerful period of Aizen World, most of the sects and families in the Black Sea issued slave liberation declarations, and it seemed that the entire Black Sea was liberated for a moment.

However, after less than ten years of Aizen's retreat from the White Sea, amid the cheers of all the original slaves, the slavery of the Black Sea was rebuilt again, and the original slaves of the Black Sea were once again happy that they had a master, and they were no longer wanderers without their masters...

It sounds incredible. It seems that the Black Sea transformation is just because Aizen's world was destroyed. The results obtained by the former sects and families relying on their strength. All of this records seem to be the winner giving on their faces, but!

But after Hao Qi verified dozens of people and even asked Lan Ling'er, he finally confirmed that, as shown in these records, these original slaves really re-established slavery in a cheerful way. Well, a little bit more serfdom than slavery is already the best result they expected. With a master, a land, you can work and a harvest, even if 80% of the harvest will be handed over, but after all, they have a master. Isn't this the greatest happiness?

"...My grandfather also thought that these remaining sects used their power to re-establish slavery and also put gilds on his face. So my grandfather sneaked into the Black Sea to investigate, but the real result was that as recorded, the problem of the Black Sea was not actually power, but that the people here have been slavery since the ancient destruction. Moreover, long-term brainwashing has led to everyone here recognizing slavery from the bottom of their hearts. Whether it is slave owners or slaves, perhaps one or two slaves who have ideals and are not convinced of this system will occasionally appear, but they have neither strength nor knowledge. In this closed environment of the Black Sea, one will die, one hundred years, one thousand years, and ten thousand years of massacre, suppression, and brainwashing. In the end, it becomes the fact that even the slaves themselves recognize this, and they think it is a kind of happiness."

"From the perspective of ancient psychology, because it was too painful, if they did not undergo self-paralyze and distortion of their thoughts, they would not be able to survive. The Black Sea had already rotted from the root of their souls. My grandfather was very disappointed and in pain at that time. He returned to the blue sea and went into seclusion soon..."

But even though Lan Ling'er had testified, Hao Qi still didn't believe it. Not only did he not believe it, but all the people who could see the information among the earth's survivors did not believe it. Therefore, Hao Qi's investigation was made, and then he found that all this was real, it was fucking real, and the truth was really like this!??

After hearing this for a while, Hao Qi was so angry that he didn't know what to do. Was he going to kill all this with these slaves? He couldn't do it yet... But if he wanted to accept the twisted worldview in front of him, it would be better to let him die!

At this moment, a word suddenly burst out in Hao Qi's heart, a word from the Earth in his previous life. Although he knew that this was not realistic, he still recited the word to himself.
