Chapter 137 It seems that from the moment of birth, people are divided into different classes
The four of them didn't ask anyone to keep watch at night, mainly because they had to soak in the spiritual spring water to practice at night and didn't want anyone to know for the time being.
The next morning, after breakfast, the family went their separate ways.
Chen Xinghai still went to the workshop as a manager, but this time Shi Li followed him.
Chen Xingyue went to the mountains to practice magic by herself. He Dongxue wanted to go with her, but Chen Xingyue didn't let her, planning to observe first.
Xiao Ying went to the town with Chen Xingyun and Chen Xinghe. They were accompanied by Yu Yezhou, He Chunyu, Ling Yun and He Changgui, with the latter two driving a carriage respectively.
He Changgui's legs are much better today, and he is gradually becoming almost normal. He smiles more often.
Ling Yun's toxicity was suppressed and did not worsen further, and he felt a little relieved.
When they arrived in the town, the two sides parted ways. Yu Yezhou took over the driving of the carriage from He Changgui, first sending Chen Xingyun and the other two to the store, and then taking Chen Xinghe to the academy.
He Changgui went with Xiao Ying and Ling Yun to pick up the more than forty servants.
All forty-five people were very punctual. They agreed to meet at the town entrance at 3:15 pm, but they arrived before 2:15 pm.
Almost everyone brought a lot of things, all of which were purchased yesterday.
Seeing Xiao Ying and others, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then became a little nervous again.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Seeing that they were exhausted and pale, Xiao Ying asked them a question of concern.
It takes at least two or three hours to walk from the county town to here. These people probably set out before dawn, so how could they have time to eat breakfast?
"We've eaten." Someone answered in a low voice, and more people remained silent.
Xiao Ying said, "I hope you are sincere. No deception, even with good intentions."
The man immediately said with shame: "Madam, we didn't have breakfast."
"Give them the things."
Xiao Ying winked at He Changgui and the other man, and they immediately took out two large bags of steamed buns from the carriage and gave two to each of them.
He also gave them several water bags to drink from in rotation. These bags contained spiritual spring water, which could help them quickly recover their physical strength and spirit.
"Thank you, Madam!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. The steamed buns were still hot and smelled fragrant and sweet. The lady actually brought them breakfast.
"Let's eat first, then we can set off. We'll probably have to walk for another two or three hours."
It’s not close from here to Chenjia Village, and it takes even longer to go into the mountains. Xiao Ying not only prepared breakfast for them, but also lunch and dinner.
While everyone was eating, Xiao Ying reminded them again: "The place you are going to is deep in the mountains. I bought the place, and there may be wild animals in it."
"But don't worry too much. I'll bring people to clean it up and also prepare some beast repellent powder and weapons for you."
In fact, because Chen Xingyue ran to the mountains every day, the wild beasts nearby had long been scared away by her, but we still had to be on guard.
Everyone was still a little uneasy after hearing this, but they didn't dare to say much. They just hoped that they would be lucky and not encounter it.
After eating, Xiao Ying set off with everyone.
She called the six children under the age of ten onto the carriage, while the rest had to walk on foot.
Fortunately, we are all used to doing farm work, so we can endure this hardship and even have some expectations for the future.
There are six children, three boys and three girls. The oldest is nine years old and the youngest is only five years old, but they can already help with the work.
The children all looked timid. Xiao Ying took out a handful of candies and shared them with them. The children looked at her with suddenly more enthusiasm.
"Thank you, ma'am."
As the eldest child expressed his gratitude, the other children echoed in unison.
"Eat it."
Xiao Ying touched their heads and didn't say much.
The children just licked it in small bites, or even wrapped it up after a few licks. I don’t know if they wanted to save it for later or to leave it for their family.
Xiao Ying was a little absent-minded. She often wondered why people were divided into rich and poor, why some people were born with fine clothes and delicious food, while more people were hungry and cold and could not get enough to eat.
It seems that from the moment we are born, people are divided into different classes.
Even though the technological world of my first life boasted that everyone was equal, was there ever any real equality? It was just a lie fabricated by those in power to maintain their rule.
The phrase "everyone is equal" makes people willing to work like slaves and strive for a house all their lives.
If I complain a few times, I will be laughed at and asked if I am not working hard enough.
But does hard work really work? It might make life a little better, but it definitely can't change your destiny.
Otherwise, why do so many people work hard all their lives and still end up poor? They can't even afford to buy a house.
The world of immortal cultivation in the previous life further proved this point. No matter how hard people without spiritual roots tried, they could not practice, while those geniuses with natural spiritual roots could build a foundation just by lying down.
This world seems to have its own set of operating rules, which determine a person's life from the moment of birth.
It seems as if there is a huge net that controls everyone, both the living and the dead.
Is it true that man can conquer nature? Then why has no one ever changed this set of operating rules? Why don't they even believe in the existence of that network, fighting only for immediate interests?
The carriage moved forward slowly, not very fast, to ensure that the thirty-odd people could keep up, and they would rest for a while every half hour.
When they arrived near Chenjia Village, Xiao Ying first asked He Changgui to drive the carriage back, while she led her men into the mountains.
The group of people did not pass through the village, so they did not alarm the villagers. Less than a quarter of an hour later, He Changgui caught up with them.
At noon, the group finally arrived at their destination. Except for Xiao Ying and the other two, everyone else was out of breath.
The site Xiao Ying chose for reclamation was the canyon between the two mountains, centered at the foot of the first mountain, without crossing the river.
This canyon can open up thousands of acres of land, and because it is close to the water source, irrigation will be very convenient.
There are two large caves at the foot of the mountain, not far apart, and each cave can accommodate twenty or thirty people.
Everyone can live here before the houses are built.
After entering the first cave, everyone found a place to put down their belongings and breathed a sigh of relief.
“This place is really nice.”
A villager sighed and said that he was one of the three families who came out of the village. His name was Xiong Dahai and he was in his early forties this year.
Xiong Dahai's family is the largest among the eight households, with a total of nine people and a lot of labor force.
Therefore, this group of people followed his lead implicitly, and the others also echoed him.
"With your construction, the future will be even better."
Xiao Ying encouraged her and said that if this place was not good, she would not buy it.
"Let's eat something first."
She asked He Changgui and the other man to distribute food to everyone, giving each person a bun and a meat pie, and they still took turns drinking water.
Many people had never eaten meat buns before, and their eyes lit up at this moment. The lady was so kind to them.
Ling Yun carried all these foods on his back, and there was still a bag left which was dinner for everyone.
He Changgui and Ling Yun were also eating, but Xiao Ying only ate one cake.
When everyone saw that the lady was eating the same thing as them, the sense of distance in their hearts seemed to disappear a lot at once.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Ying told them about the next arrangements.
