In the thick fog, a crisp ringtone rang. Although the ringtone was inaudible from a foot away, within a foot away, the ringing was still clear and sweet.
The ringing came from a white donkey. The white donkey was shaking its head and walking. Every time it shook, the bell would ring.
Sitting on the donkey is Wenyun dressed in white, but he will now be called Yihe. Dressed in white, with a handsome face, everything is perfect except that the crotch is not a white horse.
But the hard-working Zhang Cundao was carrying a basket on his back and trudging behind the donkey's butt. He had no choice but to call him the 'servant' of the young master in front of him.
Yihe, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, used all his family property to buy a donkey and a servant. He happily took the marriage certificate and went to Wuwang City to become his son-in-law.
But he didn't expect that when he passed by Qianshan City, he would be kidnapped by the bastard from Zhishan Water Pavilion! He never expected that Qianshan City would be occupied by the people from Zhishan Water Pavilion!
Now, Wen Yunli replaced Tao Zheng, transformed into Yihe, and took Zhang Cundao to Wuwang City.
After walking through the fog for an unknown amount of time, the fog suddenly cleared. Two people and a donkey appeared under a huge plaque.
On the left side of this plaque, it says 'A Land of Blessings', and on the right side it says 'A Place Where People and Ghosts Come and Go'. There are three characters written on it, 'Wuwang City'!
"This is Wuwang City! We have finally arrived!" Wen Yun said. From now on, he should be called Yihe.
"Yeah, we're finally here!" Zhang Cundao loosened the backpack on his shoulders and looked towards the road.
There are many people on this road, but most of them have their hands and feet tied and are being driven forward like cattle and horses.
These people were dressed in rags and were all in their twenties and thirties. Their faces were all gray and numb. They were driven into huge carriages without saying a word, and then the carriages set off with a rumble and disappeared into the mist.
middle.
"These are..." Zhang Cundao frowned and looked at all this.
"Wuwang City is the most famous place for human trafficking nearby. The specialty here is people." Wen Yun said lightly. He didn't have much reaction to these things.
Population is also a resource in the foggy world. Buying and selling population is very common in the foggy world.
The little white donkey leaned against the roadside and walked slowly towards Wuwang City. When they reached the edge of the city, there was a huge human trading market. The people in the fence were not cows and horses, but gray-headed people.
of people. But there are no children or old people here.
Young men are sold in batches, while the price of young women is two to three times that of men. These men and women will be transported to other blessed places to be used as laborers.
Zhang Cundao, who came from modern society, was somewhat uncomfortable seeing this. Wen Yun, on the other hand, was not surprised and rode a little white donkey into the city.
As soon as I entered the city, I heard bursts of reading. In a courtyard not far from the roadside, dozens of children were sitting on the ground, shaking their heads and reading. A man who looked like a gentleman was teaching them.
These children read very seriously. None of them were distracted or playful. Their little faces were full of seriousness and seriousness.
There are still many people walking on the streets in the city. It is worth mentioning that there are many pregnant women here. Among ten women, there are seven or eight pregnant women with bulging bellies.
It's just that there is no joy of giving birth to life on the faces of these pregnant women. Instead, they all have a lingering numbness and sorrow...
The atmosphere along the way was very depressing, with only the little donkey's copper bell bringing a little bit of vitality.
After walking in the city for a while, we finally arrived at a gorgeous mansion. On the door of this mansion were two big characters, "Zhao Mansion".
Wen Yun handed over the marriage certificate and waited quietly for a while. A man who looked like a manager came out. He looked at Wen Yun for a while, and said with an arrogant face: "Are you the new uncle? You look pretty good, follow me.
come in."
After saying that, the side door opened. Wen Yun and Zhang Cundao got in.
Not long after entering, the steward called a servant and said to the servant: "Take the new uncle to wash up, change clothes, and use some incense. Don't make him too shabby. Take him to the flower hall to eat in the evening and give him a slap in the face."
.”
The servant nodded and bowed in agreement. When the steward left, he glanced at Wen Yun and said, "Let's go and wash up." There was no respect in his tone.
Zhang Cundao saw this scene and whispered to Wen Yun: "I heard that no one thinks highly of a son-in-law, but this is too much."
Although his voice was very small, it was heard by the servant. The servant sneered and said: "I have more than 20 young ladies in the Zhao family, and there are more than a dozen uncles who need to be replaced every year. Don't think you are using my uncle's name."
If you are the first to come in and have no heirs, your fate will be no better than ours!"
Hearing this, Zhang Cundao and the two of them were stunned. What does this mean? There are performance requirements for being an uncle?
After saying this, the servant didn't want to talk anymore. He took Zhang Cundao and Wen Yun to a small courtyard and said, "This is the bathhouse, go and wash up."
The two nodded and were about to go in. But at this moment, the servant stopped Zhang Cundao and asked strangely: "You are also my uncle?"
Zhang Cundao was stunned, shook his head and said, "I'm not, I'm the young master's servant."
When the servant heard this, he became angry and immediately cursed: "A servant of yours wants to take a bath in my uncle's yard? Are you worthy? With your looks like this, you can tell at a glance that my uncle is dead! Take your donkey to the miscellaneous yard immediately."
!”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Cundao felt very angry. But considering his current status, he could only endure it. Then he led the white donkey and followed the servant to the courtyard.
On the way, the servant said to Zhang Cundao: "If you look like this, you are destined to be a servant. But being a servant also has the benefits of being a servant. What's the benefit of being an uncle? If there are no children in a year, the lady will divorce her husband.
And the divorced uncle is worse than a servant!"
Hearing this, Zhang Cundao quickly asked: "Why is there such a thing? Then my young master..."
The servant snorted coldly and said: "My master only wants people who can practice cultivation. He himself has many children, but once he reaches the age of awakening and does not have the awakening scriptures, he will be sold by the master without mercy. The same goes for matching young ladies.
, if she doesn’t get pregnant after a year, the uncle will be beaten to death and either sold or sent to a bitter kiln.”
"Ah! There is such a thing!" Zhang Cundao was dumbfounded. At this moment, he suddenly felt sorry for Wen Yun. This handsome man had to endure much more than others!
