The opening slave, the eldest lady fell in love with me at first sight

Chapter 145: Is there such a good person in the world?!!

Slums outside the imperial capital.

You Meng, a beaver subgroup, is the eldest son of the You family, who is twenty-three years old this year and usually makes a living by chopping firewood for people.

“I should be able to give an extra copper horn this time, right?”

You Meng came to the city gate with firewood on his back and waited for the arrival of the buyer.

Every day, I went to a place ten miles away, chopped firewood and carried it back, it took six hours to go back and forth, plus one hour to chop wood.

“Alas~~ Recently, firewood has become more and more difficult to cut.”

You Meng sighed.

The wood that can be cut around has been chopped by people, and those that cannot be cut are chopped, that is to be cut off heads.

The estates of the nobles, the hunting grounds of the royal family… It is not allowed to cut wood, you can only go farther and farther to cut wood.

In order not to toss back and forth, some people will form teams to cut wood farther away, and then carry it back and sell it for a penny, so that they earn a little more, and no one robs firewood.

You Meng also wants to partner with someone to chop firewood, but there are still people in the family who can’t do without him, and can only ~ run and work every day.

“You Da, there is a lot of firewood today.”

A strong man came in with a carriage and interrupted You Meng’s cranky thoughts.

“Boss, I want to earn a little more.”

You Meng’s dry road.

“Yes, you should think like this, there is a third more firewood than yesterday, then you will be given five copper horns.”

The strong man boss estimated a little and asked, “How is it?” Sell or not? ”

“Sell.”

You Meng nodded happily.

This time, the firewood sold was one more copper horn than before, and tomorrow the day after tomorrow at such a price, you can buy a few more hard wheat bread.

“Give you money.”

The strong man boss took out five thumb-sized oval copper horns from his pocket.

You Meng helped carry the firewood to the carriage, and then took the five copper coins with both hands, planning in his heart to buy two hard wheat breads for dinner.

The strong man walked towards another man carrying firewood.

He collected firewood outside the city and transported it to the inner city market to sell, and a bundle of firewood could be sold for twice the price, and if it was in the outer city market, he could only earn half more.

If the amount is too small, you will not earn much, and once the amount is large, you will have to earn.

As for the people in the slums, they carry firewood to sell in the outer city bazaar, and if they are lucky, they can sell it at a good price, but if they are unlucky, they will be depressed and waste time.

Even unlucky people who encounter underground forces come to collect tips, that is a loss.

“Bought dinner.”

You Meng came to the stall at the gate of the city.

He glanced at the meat stalls, swallowed his saliva, bought two hard wheat breads for three copper horns, and tucked them into his arms and hid them.

“Go home.”

You Mengcai carried the axe passed down from his family for three generations to his home, and the slum environment was dirty everywhere.

Sewage, excrement is everywhere, flies fly everywhere.

“Snap and twit…”

You Meng’s face was expressionless, and he walked on the muddy road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The dangling axe in his hand made some hungry and anxious people dare not act rashly, otherwise no one cared about hacking people to death in the slums.

“I must move out of the slum with my family, and the emperor will live in a big house.”

You Meng’s dream since he was a child was to rent a house in the outer city of the imperial capital

However, in fact, filling your stomach already consumes all your energy, let alone saving money to rent a house.

The slums are very large, very crowded, and full of random construction.

You Meng has been worried about one thing in his heart.

That is, one day there is a fire, and this slum will be immediately burned by fire, and everyone will not be able to jump if they want to.

It was because of this worry that he insisted on going to live in the imperial capital.

“Ahem, ahem…”

A violent coughing sound came.

“Mother.”

You Meng quickly ran to a thatched house, pushed open the door and entered.

“Who?”

A childish girl’s voice sounded.

“You Qi, it’s me.”

You Meng hurriedly spoke up.

Otherwise, my sister will have to prick people’s feet with wooden thorns.

“Brother.”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and poked her head out from under the bed.

Every time she heard movement, she would hide under the bed, afraid that someone would rush in and drag her away.

In the slums, girls with a little appearance must learn to hide themselves, otherwise they will be taken away by those who are hungry and sold as slaves and sold into the imperial capital

You Mu opened her eyes when she heard the movement, and said weakly, “Son, are you back?” ”

“Mother, what’s wrong?”

You Meng looked worriedly at his mother lying on the bed.

You Mu said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine, hard work for you.” ”

I am already an old problem, I have the strength to lie down, either coughing non-stop, or fainting, I want to die and can’t die, or it’s a drag.

If he hadn’t been able to let go of his little daughter, he might have gone to find his husband and a few children.

“I earned an extra copper horn today.”

You Meng shared the joy and handed over the remaining two copper horns in his hand, “You Qi, you put it away.” ”

“Okay.”

You Qi suppressed the sound of joy and hid the copper horn in the hole dug under the bed.

“Give, dinner today.”

You Meng took out two hard wheat breads and gave one to his sister.

You Qi tore the bread in half and soaked it in the water, ready to soak it soft and feed it to his mother.

“Click, click…”

You Meng nibbled on bread and waited for it to get dark.

It is impossible to really wait until it is dark to eat bread, otherwise it is dark and you can’t see around.

He chopped firewood, but he was reluctant to burn it.

“……”

There was a sudden knock on the old wooden door.

“Who?”

You Meng stood up with his axe in his grip.

You Qi immediately got under the bed.

Generally, people who come to rob things, seeing that there are no beautiful girls, only a sick woman and a young man with a weapon, will most likely choose to retreat.

“There are good things to find you, You Meng.”

A crisp female voice came from outside the door.

“Woman? Meddlesome? ”

You Meng heard that it was a woman’s voice, but he was not so nervous…

He stepped forward and carefully opened the wooden door and saw a woman with heavy eyes standing outside the door.

“I am Winnie, a subordinate of Viscount Jodi.”

The woman with heavy eyes directly reported the name and power.

“Subordinates of the nobles, what are you going to do?”

You Meng’s heart was tense and jumped.

He recognized the other party as an Eagle subhuman, and heavy pupils were one of the representative characteristics of the Demon Subhuman.

“There is a good thing, I have come to invite you to participate in the knight training of Lord Viscount Qiaoji.”

Winnie said calmly.

She also lived with Lian Xin for half a year, and then went out to work for two years, and now she has also become one of the cadres of the Misty Court.

This time, recruiting personnel in the slums to participate in knight training is also one of the assessments of the cadres of the Misty Court.

“Why did you recruit me?”

You Meng frowned and said suspiciously, “You guys aren’t going to recruit Death Zhuang, are you?” ”

He knew that many nobles came to the slums to recruit people to be dead soldiers, and exchanged their lives for a stable life for their whole family.

If this is really the case, it is okay, You Meng gave up his life, after all, living is too painful, and there is no hope.

He was afraid that he had been deceived, his mother was a patient, his sister was only thirteen years old, and he was very timid.

When he died, the two were really helpless.

“Because you have nothing, my family is willing to give you a chance to climb up.”

Winnie said expressionlessly, “If I didn’t want to, I didn’t say that she turned around and prepared to go to the next house, but I silently said in my heart: 1, 2…”

There is also a sentence that is not said, that is, the other party still has its own bottom line, and is willing to fight and work hard to survive.

Otherwise, it would not have come to him.

“…… Wait a minute. ”

You Meng was stunned and quickly shouted.

He was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, not everyone could be chosen by the nobility.

In addition to his life, there is nothing to worry about, and there is a way out only if he fights.

“I’ll tell you about the treatment.”

Winnie turned around and said coldly, “You participate in knightly training, and you can receive five copper horns every day, including food and clothing.” ”

She paused, then said, “If you are successfully selected to become a knight, in addition to the salary, you will also be allocated housing, and the family will also get a job.” ”

“Huh?”

You Meng opened his mouth wide, wondering if he had heard the dream words.

Give salary, cover food, and live in a house? Does the family still arrange work? Are there such good people in the world?

He didn’t quite believe that there were such good people, maybe he just tricked people into it.

However, it is very good to pay a salary and cover food, and when the time comes, it will be good to rent a house in the outer city for my mother and sister.

The most important thing is that I have the money to hire a doctor to treat my mother.

“Place to participate in the training: Hundred Flowers Manor outside the city.”

Winnie also found it incredible.

She dropped a sentence and left, “Time, in five days.” ”
