Succubus' Manor

The sky was bright, and it was rare that there was no rain, although it was still foggy and the sun could not be seen.

The corpses of the robbers were still in place. The housekeeper's proposal was to dig a hole and bury them directly, but Chi Yan asked them to burn the corpses.

Although the temperature has dropped and is not as hot as in summer, Chi Yan is still worried about the disease.

Naturally, the housekeeper would not object to Chi Yan's order.

There were more than 30 robbers in total. Chi Yan was in a state of mind yesterday, and because he couldn't see clearly at night, he thought it was a large group of people.

Among the more than 30 people, less than ten seem to be physically strong, and the others are uniformly thin. It is estimated that they have just joined the team not long ago, or their status is too low.

Chi Yan didn't go to see the corpse, he still couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

He had never even seen a pig slaughtered before.

The corpses I have seen are also old relatives who died. They went to the crematorium to see the last journey.

The old man was dressed up beautifully by his family, wearing a shroud made of silk and makeup on his face. He looked very kind, as if he was not dead.

But the corpses of the robbers were not so good-looking. Almost all of them were missing arms and legs, and some of them had been disemboweled.

This time, no one died on Chi Yan's side, thanks to Albert and Carl first. The two of them took care of the strong people. After all, the opponent's weapons should have been snatched from other territories, and they were all made of pig iron. , broken cleanly.

If it were someone else, it is estimated that both of their swords were broken, so they could only bend down to pick them up together, or fight with each other.

But Carl and Albert held steel knives in their hands.

Moreover, they are educated knights, who know where the vital points are, and they will never hack indiscriminately.

It is also due to the fact that the slaves and civilians carried out the orders of Karl and Albert. They double-teamed from both sides, and the other party realized that this side was finished, and the other side was finished.

Sometimes being able to obey orders is already a very big advantage, so big that it can influence the outcome of the battle.

After all, people are afraid of death. When it comes to war, as long as there is a little fear, you can't help but retreat. When you see the sharp knife in the enemy's hand, you will subconsciously turn your head and run away.

Deserters were not uncommon, and there were even knights who escaped from the battlefield.

It is false to say that you are not afraid.

Chi Yan felt that if he went to the battlefield by himself, he couldn't guarantee whether he would run away from him.

Although he had already died once, he was still as afraid of death as ever.

"Have all the injured people been settled?" Chi Yan asked Kadi.

After all, the housekeeper was old and had more energy than energy, so Chi Yan entrusted Kadi with the task of taking care of the injured.

This made Kadi's cheeks flushed with excitement, his eyes so bright that he swallowed, and then he said after clearing his throat secretly: "It's all arranged! A house was specially vacated, and it was cleaned up before letting them in." , and mixed salt water to wash their wounds."

Chi Yan couldn't find any herbal medicine—he didn't know what herbal medicine could reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, so he could only use the method known to modern people, using salt water or wine to clean the wound.

Alcohol is not acceptable. The wine here is as sweet as fruit juice, and has no alcohol content, so it can only be served with salt water.

If there is something dirty in the wound, it will suffer a little. Wash it with salt water over and over again, and wrap it with a clean cloth after washing.

So when it was time to change the cloth strips, the screams of those injured were louder than when they were injured.

The taste of salt in the wound must be unpleasant.

He began to miss Kleist. He felt that Kleist knew everything, maybe herbal medicine.

If possible, Chi Yan would also like to find a witch doctor.

Anyway, he doesn't want a serious "doctor" who only does bloodletting and makes people stop eating.

Kings could be bled to death by them, let alone others.

However, witch doctors are rare, and once they are found, they will be executed. Because they are related to witches, they are all burned at the stake, tied to a pillar, with firewood piled underneath, and burned for everyone to see.

As time goes by, even if he knows witch doctor and herbal medicine, he hides it, and even the closest people dare not tell it.

For a period of time, the situation became more serious. Many people who picked wild vegetables were arrested, saying that they were picking herbs, and then they were all burned to death.

Its tragic level is only comparable to the mighty witch hunt in the West.

If she begged and begged to prove that she was a witch, the evidence was conclusive, and only a real witch would be so frightened.

If she is calm, she is still a witch, because only a witch can be so calm when disaster strikes.

Throw her in the well, if she drowns, then she is not a witch.

If she didn't drown, she was a witch.

Once "reported", no matter whether she is a witch or not, she must die.

The so-called method of discrimination, regardless of positive or negative, has only one conclusion.

The same is true for the witch doctor here. The Holy Academy believes that the witch doctor is communicating with the devil and exchanging the patient's life with other things. There are many ways to identify a witch doctor, which are very complicated and very inexplicable.

Thousands of "witch doctors" are executed every year.

Chi Yan smiled at Kadi: "You've done a good job, boil wheat paste for them these few days."

Without wheat bran and beans, it is a paste made from pure wheat.

Kadi was taken aback. He wanted to persuade him, but seeing the presence of the old housekeeper, he could only answer yes with his head down.

After Kadi left, Chi Yan said to the housekeeper, "Fortunately, there are not many robbers this time."

If it is a large bandit group with more than a hundred people, it is estimated that they will be suspended.

The wounded were staying in the house, and Kadi was asking the servants to change the cloth strips for them. Some of the wounds were deeply wounded and had to be washed with salt water. He was being held down by several servants, making hog-killing screams. .

"Hold him in place." Cuddy told the footmen to fetch excrement from the wounded.

Because adults say to keep it clean, these things have to be taken out and buried.

After the treatment was finished, the servant came in with the wheat paste made by the cook. The smell was so strong that the wounded were swallowing desperately, and they all looked over with their heads tilted, their faces drooling.

Cardi is distributing mush, one bowl per person, and there is no more.

Except for the wounded, everyone who participated yesterday can get a bowl.

At this time, Dahe and his mother were drinking wheat mush together, holding the brown bread that had been stored before. The black bread is easy to store and not easy to break. Said it was very delicious.

Dahe originally had a scar on his face, but now there are several more scars, but they are not deep, and the wound on his arm was also wrapped up with cloth strips.

He was not seriously injured, so he was not lying immobilized in the room with other injured patients.

The goblin's mother sipped the paste and wanted to pour half a bowl for Dahe, but Dahe stopped her.

"Mom, eat by yourself, I'm enough!" Da He raised his voice before his mother withdrew her arm.

She felt that it was like a dream, as if she woke up, and she was already lying on the muddy floor, working for the lord like an animal, not to mention wheat mush, even the mush made from wheat bran and rotten beans could not eat a few mouthfuls.

Sometimes she dared not sleep, and many members of the clan did not dare to sleep.

They all felt that all this was fake, and if they fell asleep, they would return to the real life.

It would be better to let them die.

Now she can live in such a nice house, after living for so many years, she can drink wheat mush for the first time, she can rest when she is not alive, and she has bread to eat. Find servants, and the servants will light a fire for them to keep warm.

Da He drank the last mouthful, ate the piece of bread in his hand, licked his lips and said, "Mom, last night I heard my lord say that as long as we can defeat the enemy, he will release us from slavery and let us become slaves." Freemen!"

However, her mother's reaction was not what Dahe expected.

She stared at Dahe with wide eyes, and stammered and asked, "Aren't you a slave?"

Dahe: "Yes!"

The other goblins in the room also looked over. They were silent for a long time, and finally a slave asked, "If we're not slaves, what should we be?"

Da He thought they didn't understand, and explained: "Be a free citizen! Just like those commoners!"

One goblin whispered, "I don't want to be a commoner. I can always be a slave to adults."

Even Dahe's mother said: "When you become a commoner, you have to farm the land, pay taxes, and buy things, but as a slave, you don't have to worry about anything. The adults are so kind to us. We just need to work hard and we will be fine." Fill the stomach."

They hadn't been civilians, they were scared.

Dahe didn't understand why his mother thought so, and the other goblins agreed with what Dahe's mother said.

"Yeah, I don't want to be a commoner."

"I think this is very good. The adults don't beat us, don't scold us, and give me mush and bread."

……

Da He looked at them, and for some reason, he suddenly felt an unbearable anger. Slaves are like livestock, they work, eat and sleep, they don’t have their own homes, and the children they give birth to are also slaves and will always be slaves.

Now that they have the chance to change their fate, why are they unwilling?

Dahe really wanted to scold them and asked them what they thought.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't swear.

Because among the people who said this was his mother.

The butler was also talking about slaves with Chi Yan at this time - he was also scared enough last night, so he didn't stop Chi Yan, and now that he calmed down, he said to Chi Yan: "You want to be exempted from being a slave because you want to For those who report to the Holy Court, it’s okay to exempt one or two, but if they are all exempted, the Holy Court will not agree.”

Chi Yan blinked: "...Then what should I do?"

The butler can only come up with a moderate idea: "You can let them be free citizens in the territory!"

Chi Yan understands what the steward means, that is, don't want the officials to be serious, but there is no name. They can enjoy everything that ordinary people can enjoy in the territory, but this creates a hidden danger. Once the slaves feel that he has broken his promise, will he Moment of anger, rise up?

It's like saying to someone who has been hungry for a long time: "You do something for me, I'll give you a chicken leg."

As a result, he finished the job and did a good job, but he didn't give him the chicken legs.

When you are in a hurry, you can do anything.

After hearing what Chi Yan said, the butler said, "You didn't take back the chicken legs. You obviously gave them the chicken legs, but you didn't let them eat them in front of others. The meat has already entered their stomachs. How can you say that?" You didn't give it?"

Chi Yan was very worried, feeling that his IQ had been tested, how could he fulfill his promise?

What he didn't know was that many efforts were being made to hope that the lord would not fulfill his promise.

They don't know how to live except as slaves.

Also afraid of change.
