Chapter 20 Xiaoxi Xiaoyi
Lin Xiaoyi, who was walking very regularly at the beginning, started dancing as soon as he left Wuhan City.
"Low key! Low key!" Lin Xiaoyi suppressed the uncontrollable restlessness in his heart and walked quickly towards the west of the city.
But she didn't know that as soon as she left Wu City, a clever figure followed her closely.
How did Lin Xiaoyi, who was in the excitement of his heart and soul, find out?
The western suburbs of the imperial city,
Fuhu Villa!
Ten miles away from the western suburbs of the Tianhuang Empire's imperial city, it is not a flat residence, but a huge mountain range that stands tall in the famous empire, known as Tianhuang Mountain. Tianhuang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles and stands in the eastern region.
The center of the entire mountain range is in the western suburbs of the imperial city, which is very dangerous. Here, the two peaks are opposite each other, but there is a deep valley between the two peaks. The canyon is above the top of the mountain and the bottom is through the nine netherworlds. Such a dangerous place seems to be a powerful man from ancient times, standing in the clouds and splitting with one sword.
Fuhu Villa is built on this canyon, with the two peaks facing each other and looking across the mountain from a distance, it looks like a tiger with its eyes hanging on the mountain. The name of Fuhu is similar.
It is said to be a villa, but it covers a large area, making it even more like a manor.
Because Fuhu Villa is not a private property of one person, but is directly controlled by the court. Such a huge villa is built under this dangerous peak because there is a huge spiritual crystal vein in the Tianhuang Mountains.
This spiritual vein is the largest spiritual vein in the Tianhuang Empire, and can be called the lifeline of the Tianhuang Empire's spiritual crystal.
Half of the workers who dug spiritual veins were workers hired by the court, and half were slaves.
Lin Xiaoyi jumped in. The villa was chaotic but orderly. Under the supervision of soldiers, the workers mined, transported, polished, and consecrated it. Finally, they produced expensive spiritual crystals.
"Why does this stall owner live in Fuhu Villa? It's so strange!" The figure who had been following Lin Xiaoyi was Xiao Xuanzi.
He had already followed Lin Xiaoyi at the entrance of Wu City by Huang Guting, and saw where she got the leaves, but unexpectedly came to Fuhu Villa!
Xiao Xuanzi thought about it, but seeing that no one noticed him, he walked in and quietly followed Lin Xiaoyi.
"Why is there such an important place in Fuhu Villa, why don't there be even a guard?" Xiao Xuanzi looked around. Except for a few soldiers standing guard, there were only workers who were busy working. It looked very scattered and no one stopped him at all.
Although Xiao Xuanzi was confused, he didn't think much about it. These were not things he was worried about. He was wandering around and saw Lin Xiaoyi coming to the back of the villa, where there were rows of dilapidated houses.
Xiao Xuanzi guessed that it should be the residence of these miners.
Lin Xiaoyi pushed open a door, walked into the room, and shouted: "Mom! I'm back!"
"Xiaoxi is back!" A woman sat up from the bed, her face was haggard and pale, but she was as gentle as water. The woman looked at Lin Xiaoyi and showed a loving smile.
"Mom! You are in poor health, lie down quickly!" Lin Xiaoyi hurriedly supported his mother.
"It's not a problem! It's much better." The woman waved her hand and said, "Go and change your clothes and wash your face. Look at your dirty body."
"Haha! No need for mom!" Lin Xiaoyi wiped his face and didn't care.
The woman touched her daughter's little face, saw that her daughter's face was full of joy, and smiled and said, "Is there any happy event today? Xiaoxi is so happy!"
"Mom! I can't hide anything from you! Hehe!" Lin Xiaoyi suddenly jumped up and said with an exaggerated expression: "Mom! We will no longer have to live in this broken place in the future! We will no longer have to drink porridge every day!"
Hearing his daughter say this, a trace of sadness flashed on the woman's face and sighed: "Xiao Xi! It's a bad thing for mother, I've made you suffer."
"Mom! What are you saying! Look at what this is!" Lin Xiaoyi hurried over and closed the door, shaking the ring in his hand.
Crazy...
A large pile of silver coins were piled up in front of the bed, and the shocked woman rubbed her eyes straight.
"Mom! Xiaoxi now has 300,000 silver coins! Haha! We can be free! Don't stay here and suffer!"
Lin Xiaoyi continued: "The Great Deacon has said it long ago! Our sins have reached this generation and we can spend money to atone for our sins. The young ones and the old ones can be redeemed! Mother, we have now got 300,000 silver coins, and now we can get rid of our slave status."
The woman was in a daze, and after a while, she came to her senses, stroked Lin Xiaoyi's head, and said uneasy: "Xiaoxi! Where did you get so many silver coins! This... we can't do bad things!"
"Mom, what are you saying! How could I do that!" Lin Xiaoyi blushed and suddenly thought that there was a 50,000 silver coins borrowed from Huang Guting. He quickly explained: "Mom! I borrowed it from a friend! Don't worry!"
"What kind of friend! How could it be so generous that I would lend us so many silver coins, and our identities would......"
"Okay, mom! I said it's okay if it's okay!" Lin Xiaoyi quickly interrupted his mother and said, "Mom! Don't worry! My silver coins are from a very good place! Don't worry! I'll go find the deacon now, and we'll be free soon!"
Lin Xiaoyi quickly collected the silver coins and ran out. He closed the door tightly and murmured: "Mom is so naughty. She actually doubts my Lin Xiaoxi's personality! Hehe, free! I'll do it!"
Suddenly, a hurried back was running away next to him, which attracted Lin Xiaoyi's attention.
Lin Xiaoyi blinked curiously: "Who is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Stop!" Lin Xiaoyi shouted sweetly, and Xiao Xuanzi was so scared that he was covered in oil. His steps stopped instantly, feeling like he was caught as a thief.
He found out that the stall owner who cheated on Your Highness was actually a girl! That's great. His Highness was actually cheated away by a little girl. This is his highness for nearly three years! He was cheated away by this little girl in three days! It's so hateful!
Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanzi suddenly became confident. I am just, why are you afraid of her doing? Then, he turned around bravely.
"You are..." Lin Xiaoyi pointed at Xiao Xuanzi with his finger, his big eyes turned black, and he laughed: "I remember, you are the subordinate of that sucker!"
"You are the one who is wronged!" Xiao Xuanzi was immediately dissatisfied. He cheated His Highness of his silver coins and dared to scold His Highness in turn.
Lin Xiaoyi smiled and knew that he had made up his words. How could he be so arrogant! After all, he is still his creditor! But he always calls me with shamelessness, but he doesn't know what the person's name is.
"Hey! Why are you here? Oh!...I understand, you are here to eavesdrop on me! What did you hear!" Lin Xiaoyi suddenly became nervous.
"I heard everything!... You are a woman! You even lied to your mother and said you didn't lie to me... Young Master!" Xiao Xuanzi snorted.
"It's gone?" Lin Xiaoyi asked again.
"Ah? What else?" Xiao Xuanzi said in confusion: "Have you missed something important? Alas, I must have been shaken by 300,000 silver coins just now!"
Lin Xiaoyi said with a relaxed tone, "That's good!" In fact, he was particularly afraid of letting others know his "slave" identity!
Because, in the Tianhuang Empire, the person with the lowest status is a slave! Like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and they cannot fight back. Otherwise, the outcome will be even more miserable!
Because slaves not only have no freedom of survival, but also have no freedom of life, but also have to work free of charge every day.
Even ordinary people will not regard them as human beings, because in the eyes of everyone, slaves are unforgivable, and it is already extremely compassionate to let them live.
Why is a young girl like Lin Xiaoyi a slave? Could it be that she committed an unforgivable serious crime?
Of course, this is not the reason. The reason is a slave is because his parents and ancestors are all slaves.
There is no death penalty in the Tianhuang Empire. All death row prisoners, both men and women, will abolish all their cultivation and be demoted to slaves!
Moreover, this slavery system is still "hereditary"!
The sons and daughters of slaves are also slaves. Even if they are innocent, no one will sympathize with them.
Therefore, slaves passed down from generation to generation, never stopped. They served the powerful and the court free of charge, and survived in order to save a small life.
In addition, the Tianhuang Empire has gone through many wars over the past thousand years since its founding. No matter who is right or wrong, who wins or loses, it will plunder many foreign people or prisoners.
These prisoners and the people of the enemy country naturally cannot treat them the same as their own people. They are often forced to become laborers or sold to brothels. In the end, these people become slaves that everyone calls for and beats, with no status at all.
Lin Xiaoyi didn’t know what reason Lin Xiaoyi’s ancestor became a slave, and Lin Xiaoyi’s father didn’t know, although Lin Xiaoyi’s father had already died of overwork when she was ten years old.
It is hard to live for men and women, and it is even harder to live for women and women.
The reason why Lin Xiaoyi painted his face with black and gray every day is because he was ragged because he was afraid of being discovered as a daughter.
Now it is the late autumn and winter season, and it is difficult to mine spiritual crystals. In order to save costs, the imperial court has become much less work in this season. Only then can Lin Xiaoyi have the opportunity to sneak out to sell spiritual medicine to make money.
She was also a little capable. When she heard that she could use silver coins to redeem herself, get rid of her status as a slave, and live a normal life, she began to sneak into the Tianhuang Mountains to collect spiritual medicines. However, most of the time, she could only pick some worthless herbs, and sometimes she could also dig some real spiritual medicines. When she met some suckers like Huang Guting, she could also cheat some silver coins.
In any case, in just five years, with her clever head and well-behaved little mouth, she and her mother were frugal and forced to raise 60,000 silver coins! If she had not had this slave status, she would have been much richer than ordinary families.
Now with the help of Huang Guting, the number one sucker in her heart, these 300,000 silver coins have been really made!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyi felt a little sad, and he was really grateful to Huang Guting. But he didn't dare to let him know his identity, afraid that he would take back the silver coins! He would point at himself and scold him, or even beat him again. Then he had no place to make sense.
So, she planned to help him find that place after becoming a free agent.
"You go! Tell your young master, I will take him to find that place tomorrow!" Lin Xiaoyi no longer wanted to know why Xiao Xuanzi came here because she had a top priority.
