Chapter 3 Spike

"I'm grass!?"

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but widen my eyes and exclaimed, "Eat children to supplement nutrition?"

A young man said as a matter of course: "My lord, we want to get out of the slum and into the ordinary area. But this body nutrition can't keep up, so you must eat some meat. ”

I said coldly, "Is it necessary to eat people?" There are a lot of chickens, ducks and fish, why do you eat people? ”

"I can't afford it......," said the young man, who said with a wry smile, "where can we afford to eat that thing, so we have to eat some children to supplement their nutrition." ”

Can't afford to eat?

I suddenly remembered the high prices here, and when I think about it, I'm afraid I really can't afford it.

"You can take this bucket of rice to eat...... I put the rice forward, frowning, "It's strange, you are all young people and gladiators, don't you have a salary to take?" ”

A young man whispered, "All ...... It's all used to pay the mortgage. ”

Mortgage?

I listened for a moment, then impatiently rolled off at them. They hurriedly picked up the rice and ran, so I turned my head and said to Cao Da, "I want another bucket of rice."

Cao Da nodded and left the window, and at this time, Liu Jingyi kowtowed to me again and again, "Thank you, sir."

When I looked so closely, I realized that this girl was different from the others. The people here are hungry, but she belongs to the type of fat girl, looking at this figure, it is estimated that she can weigh more than 130 pounds, and her chest can be called magnificent.

I wondered, "Why are you ......so hungry and skinny when everyone else is so hungry?"

"My lord, I was originally a slave in a rich area, and I was responsible for warming the ......master's bed," Liu Jingyi explained, "The master likes fat girls, so he keeps letting us exercise more and less, I am diligent and diligent in the master, but unfortunately in the end I was tired of being played by the master, and I was thrown into this slum." ”

It dawned on me and I asked, "What do those people mean by the mortgage, I think it's all garbage sheds."

Liu Jingyi gritted her teeth and said, "As far as I know, history records that the previous paradise was not so chaotic. Although there is no law, everyone in the former paradise is very free, as long as you live a little bit, hide and don't provoke people, you can live with peace of mind. But since the emperor became the ruler, it has been completely different. He carved out a large piece of land, saying that this is a safe zone, and the houses in the safe zone are not allowed to make trouble, and they can ensure safety. People have to live in safe areas so that they can sleep peacefully. However, housing prices in the safe zone are ridiculously high. ”

"How outrageous?"

"A pound of gold can buy a house in a safe area in the slums, which is about 40 square ......," Liu Jingyi explained, "The hotel where you live is the so-called safe zone." Everyone couldn't afford to buy a house, and they wanted to live in peace, so they had to take out a loan from the emperor's bank. But because the interest rate of the loan and the price of the house are very high, the people here can only become house slaves and fight for the house all their lives. Some people can't afford to eat in order to pay their mortgages, so they start to come out and commit crimes. But because of the high rent, almost all the merchants worked for the landlord, so they had to raise the price, and such a vicious circle made the entire paradise of the world make money for the emperor. ”

This......

Can the emperor still have some humanity when he earns money? Let the whole people of Heaven outside the world earn money for him, how much wealth does he have!

I took a deep breath and looked at the children around Liu Jingyi, there were seven or eight of them, the oldest was about 14 years old, but the youngest was only about 7 years old.

O miserable man.

"To be honest, a few of us are new to here, and we need someone to take care of us...... "I looked at Liu Jingyi and said softly, "Then from today on, you will be my slaves." ”

"Slaves?" Liu Jingyi was surprised, "You are from the rich area?" ”

"Not now, but soon after."

I took out a 100-gram piece of gold and handed it to Liu Jingyi, and said softly: "The house inside is at least safe, and the price is one gram per room." There are eight of you here, and that's four grams of gold a day, and if you eat...... Isn't there enough rice for you? Live well here, until I come and take you as slaves. ”

"This ......"

Liu Jingyi hurriedly raised her head and said in surprise: "My lord, how can this be embarrassing?"

I smiled and said, "It's good to be alive, but you still tell me about your cheeks?" Go ahead. ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you so much, sir! ”

Liu Jingyi kept kowtowing to me again, and then took the children to the hotel. I watched them go in, and I was a little relieved.

Then I jumped back to my room. Yun Mozi lay on the bed and said slowly: "We just happened to be new here, and it would be good to buy a slave who is familiar with this place." Brother Cheng, I didn't expect you to have a kind side. ”

I smiled and said, "It's just a gesture, if a small gesture can save so many people, why not do it?"

"Well, it's not too early, you know
