Global Games: I just want to quietly earn achievements

Chapter 29



I

slept in bed for the first time in a long time, although this bed was not as comfortable as the one where Leaf Frost fell in the Overworld, but it was better than sleeping in the wild.

After waking up, Ye Shuangluo walked out of the house and circled around Dongfeng Village.

It turned out that many children had already gotten up early to boil water and cook.

Of course, more importantly, he discovered that there were really no young and middle-aged people in this village.

There are only some children who are no older than twelve or thirteen years old, and some old people who are sixty or seventy years old.

It's like a left-behind child in a village.

Ye Shuangluo couldn't help but shake his head, it's really pitiful.

Just when Ye Shuang landed in the village and finished walking around, and was about to go back to wake up the mountain people and continue to hurry, he bumped into the old village chief head-on.

The old village chief was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Ye Shuangluo, a rich young master who looked like a thin skin and tender meat, would get up so early.

"Childe got up really early, it's not yet the hour."

"It's not too early, I see that many children in the village get up much earlier than me."

"Ugh."

The old village chief sighed, as if there was infinite sorrow in his heart.

"There's no way, it's hard for us old bones to move, so we can only let these children cook."

Hearing the words of the old village chief, Ye Shuangluo's heart moved, and she directly asked the question in her heart:

"Old village chief, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not?"

"If Childe has any questions, just ask."

Ye Shuangluo smiled slightly, and asked the question that was buried in his heart yesterday.

"Why are there only old people and children in the village, I don't seem to see even a young person."

Hearing this question, the old village chief was directly silent, and after a long while, he heard him say bitterly:

"They have all been conscripted into service by His Majesty today."

Hearing the word conscription, Ye Shuangluo instinctively felt it, and then he would hear something very shocking.

"Alas, ten years ago His Majesty issued a new decree.

The new law was to be forced down to the age of 14 and up to the age of 55, both men and women.

Ten years ago, I was just fifty-six years old, so I was spared, but my son and daughter-in-law...",

the old village chief let out a long sigh and continued:

"Alas... As for when they will be back... My son and daughter-in-law were conscripted ten years ago, and I haven't seen them for ten years. After

listening to the words of the old village chief, Ye Shuangluo was a little incredulous, this is unreasonable.

Have you not completed your conscription for ten years?

What the hell does this emperor want to do?

According to Ye Shuangluo's knowledge, there is only one dynasty in this world, and there are no other opposing countries or regimes.

That is, it was not a conscription to build fortifications.

Then the emperor's purpose is very puzzling, at least he can't figure it out.

"And three years ago, my old grandson also turned 14, and he was also taken away by the soldier in charge of our area to serve in conscription."

Hearing the words of the old village chief, Ye Shuangluo felt that the other party was too miserable, he could hear that the old village chief's words were full of loneliness and confusion, but he didn't know how to comfort the other party.

"Alas... Looking at the age of the son, he must have paid the retirement pension, right? "

Retirement money?

This is an unfamiliar word, the old village chief seemed to see Ye Shuangluo's puzzlement, and took the initiative to explain:

"Your Majesty is wise and martial today, ten years ago, after he issued a new law, he issued another law that is closely related to the previous one.

If you don't want to serve forced labor, you only need to pay one hundred taels of gold, and you don't need to serve forced labor, which is called retirement pension. "

This emperor wants to go crazy for money.

This was Ye Shuangluo's first thought, he had never heard such a chaotic law.

As long as you give money, you can ignore the law, and as long as you give money, you can kill people and set fires.

Ye Shuangluo was a little powerless to complain, this old emperor has lived for two hundred years, I'm afraid it's not Alzheimer's.

Otherwise, how could you make such a smart operation.

He suddenly remembered the large number of bandits in the Tiannan Mountain Range, and suddenly understood a little.

Of course, understanding is understanding, they still deserve to die.

Perhaps because of a bad mood, Ye Shuangluo was ready to leave immediately after saying goodbye to the old village chief.

When I returned to the place where I stayed last night, I found that the mountain man and the white tiger had already woken up.

So he said goodbye to the old village chief and began to continue on his way.

Sitting in the car, there were many children standing at the entrance of the village and looking at him curiously.

Perhaps because of understanding their fate, Ye Shuangluo was extremely depressed.

The youngest of the children was five or six years old, and the eldest was twelve or thirteen years old, which meant that soon they would also have to go into forced labor.

The most painful thing is not experiencing suffering, but not having the ability and awareness to change suffering.

As the white tiger began to run, the car was also pulled and ran.

After staying away from Dongfeng Village, the mountain man suddenly asked Ye Shuangluo on the side.

"Brother Ye thinks they are pitiful?"

"It's pathetic... Many children in the village have never seen their parents since they were born, and they have grown up with their grandparents.

When they grow up, they have to go to servitude, which is pitiful and sad. "

Haha, I thought Brother Ye's character was that kind of hero, a man who would succeed in the world, but I really didn't expect that there would be such an emotional side."

"A man who will succeed in the world? How so? Ye

Shuangluo is really curious, why does the other party think so, he has only known the mountain man for two or three days, but the other party seems to know his appearance very well.

"It's just a gut feeling."

Ye Shuangluo knew very well that the other party was prevaricating himself, and he was obviously unwilling to say more.

He knew that he couldn't ask any questions, so he didn't bother to ask.

The two of them rushed silently all the way towards the imperial capital.

When he was about to approach the imperial capital, the mountain man suddenly spoke again.

"Brother Ye, did you escape between these two foxes?"

It seems to be asking, but the tone is full of certainty.

"How did Brother Shanren know?"

The mountain man smiled slightly and began to speak.

"Compared to ordinary spirits, humans and spirits are much more blessed with children born after intercourse.

They were almost born with the wisdom that spirits could only possess after a hundred years of cultivation, which was a gift from their father (mother) as a human being.

But if they want to get another gift from their father (mother) as a spirit, they need to pay a little price, does Brother Ye know what the price is? The

mountain man's sudden question caught Ye Shuangluo off guard, but he thought for a moment and replied,

"Could it be that he ate human flesh and blood?"

The

people couldn't help but applaud, and praised while applauding: "Brother Ye is really smart, and he is really both civil and military."

That's right, if they want to awaken, they need to eat people, and they can't eat ordinary people.

Relatives, lovers, best friends, enemies of life and death, these people have a better effect.

But after eating people, their value will be greatly reduced, after all, those high-ranking officials and rich businessmen are extremely desperate for their lives, how can they leave a monster who has eaten people by their side? "

Regarding the explanation of the mountain people, Ye Shuangluo can fully understand, just like the beasts that have eaten people in the Overworld will definitely be killed, because once they have eaten people, they will include humans in their recipes.

"These half-human, half-spirit monsters who awaken their talents through cannibalism, humans collectively refer to them as "demons".

So, Brother Ye, there is a big problem with the goods you are escorting, and you will have a great responsibility for this mark, maybe the emperor will punish you. For

some reason, Ye Shuangluo felt that this mountain man was bewitching him.

[The enemy has launched a charm skill against you, and you need to make a will judgment

] [Demon Heart is activated, you will ignore this charm]

Ye Shuangluo: Hehe, there is really yours.
