Kidnapping All Mankind

Middle World Time, January 25, 0001.

Since the first rain fell in the afternoon yesterday, the light rain of Zalili has been intermittent, and the sky has always been gloomy, and the sun has never been exposed.

To the east of the village belonged to the William / Moore family, four men were soaked, sweat and rain mixed in their faces, and flowed into a muddy soil under their feet.

Holding the wooden shovel with both hands, Wu Qingchen stopped one step at a time, hobbled and moved to the ridge on the side of the field, completely sitting on the buttocks regardless of the mixed soil, rain, leaves, grass stems on the ground.

Breathing heavily, Wu Qingchen laboriously raised his arm, grabbed his robe and wiped his face casually, took off the hood with his hands, twisted his hands gently, and a large amount of water was squeezed out.

How many times have you sat down?

Wu Qingchen could not remember clearly.

Wu Qingchen only knew that it was a lot of work to work on a rainy day, and that day was more and more tiring. Even William and Idela, who usually did not stop without opening their legs, had been paralyzed several times. Next to the ridge, I pulled my head, and even the grass and dirt on my face were wiped away with no extra effort.

So tired.

So hungry.

Swallowing spit hard, Wu Qingchen only felt his head heavy, his eyes darkened for a while, and his stomach was rumbling.

Early in the morning, the sky just showed a faint light, and the old William led Wu Qingchen and the two brothers of the Middle Ages out of the house early, hurried to the place and braved the intermittent rain to the top.

Do it now!

"Now" means ...

Even if there is no sun in the sky, Wu Qingchen must now have no energy to calculate time. However, depending on the degree of wetness of his robes, all four are tired of looking like dogs. Wu Qingchen is also absolutely certain that the so-called "now" It's definitely past 1pm!

From 5 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon, the four people who have not been in the water and rice have been in this field for eight hours.

So tired! So hungry!

Inevitably, Wu Qingchen began to miss the "home" of the Middle Ages very violently. The rotten wooden bed covered with hay, straw, and flea bugs was even more annoyed and remorseful. Why did he just deal with the trouble yesterday afternoon? Throw away at least two or two small fish.

"When ... when ... when ..."

In the distance, a faint bell rang out from the village.

Wu Qingchen stood up immediately.

The old William and his two elder brothers who were still working in the field also stopped the movement at hand.

"Father ... for the second time ..." Holding the wooden shovel, Idela turned back and stopped talking, her expression a little worried.

"I know ..." Unplugging the last few weeds at hand, Old William supported his knees with both hands, struggling to get up straight, looked at the sky with sorrow, and looked at the last piece of land in front of which was too late to clean up. "Well, it's raining ... grass will grow longer in a few days ..."

"Yeah ..." Idra nodded helplessly, frowning tightly, "Look at it tomorrow morning, if it's not raining, we would be earlier."

"This can only be the case, the second bell ..." Old William took the tools around him, and suddenly stopped moving, listening to his ears, with some hope on his face, and then sinking his face again. , Sighed helplessly again: "... the second bell ..."

Medieval World Time, January 25, 0001, the first day of the summer service for the master.

The first bells reminded the villagers on duty to stop their work.

The second bell sounded to remind the serving villagers to eat and support themselves.

For the third time, I went to the ground to get the tools, and to count the number of people in service.

For the fourth time, the serving villagers began to work.

The fourth bell is over and the villagers who have not started to work either pay a large sum of money or give up one or two plots of the gift of the master. If neither of these can be paid, they can only bless the gentleman. Get ready to escape into the forest and start living with thorns, beasts, hunger, and disease.

The second round of bells has passed. Although they were all very tired on the way home, the four of them accelerated their pace and remained silent all the way. Only when they reached the village intersection and passed a stone sign on the side of the field, old William Only slowly slowed down, hands and shoulders, and silently said something.

Walking behind, Wu Qingchen can see that when he did all this, no matter how he looked or acted, the old William was more devout than usual.

When they returned home, their mothers, Jacqueline and Nina, were already on fire, boiling a large pot of hot water and preparing three large bowls of steaming food.

The three bowls of food are still peas, green soup and slimy, but the portions are much larger.

After filling the small wooden bowls in front of the four men, half of the three large bowls were left.

For this day's food, old William and Idra removed an extra double of the usual peas, soup and paste, but also had a piece of cheese and a cooked egg.

Grace and Wu Qingchen ’s ordinary food is also twice as usual, and a piece of cheese is also added. As for eggs, this is a valuable property that families use to exchange the necessary oil and black salt. Even on such an important day, Also, only the most important adult man in the family can eat one occasionally to supplement the severe physical loss.

In the end, Jacqueline and Nina prepared this food by hand. The food was more than usual, but it was only eaten at the end. Only a small piece of cheese was added.

The food on this day is undoubtedly much richer than that on Peace Day. However, when eating this meal, both old William and Idra were very worried. Even the little Nina, who always had a full meal, was not happy. Emotions.

Eight hours of continuous labor was extremely exhausting. There was no poaching energy and time on this day. Wu Qingchen was already hungry. Several poisons in front of him seemed to have a little more aroma. Next, Wu Qingchen ate peas, green soup, and cheese, and even ate a half bowl.

Still leaving the rest to Nina, Wu Qingchen touched her belly, and while she was free for the last time, she supported her head with her hands, closed her eyes, and took time to rest.

"Okay ..." After drinking the last sip of soup in the bowl, he also fell down on the chair and closed his eyes for half a minute. Old William opened his eyes, looked around, and stood up: "Almost, let's hurry. "

Several people stood up at the same time.

This time, one more family went out to work. It was no longer Edra who was behind Old William, but mother Jacqueline. Adult women also had a summer service. Only Nina stayed to prepare for the evening. By the way, take care of the two younger brothers and sisters who can't walk and talk on the bed.

On the first day, the site of summer ploughing was north of the village. After ten minutes, the family of five went to the ground.

The master's public land will certainly not be ridged and complicated, as in ordinary people ’s land, but a whole piece of flat land that is vast and flat, almost invisible.

In addition, this land is not as yellow or pale as ordinary people ’s land. Although it is raining, Wu Qingchen can still see a piece of muddy soil from the muddy land, which means that it is fertile.

When Wu Qingchen's family arrived, both sides of the field road were filled with villagers who came to serve. Sitting next to the ridge or the side road, the villagers were full of tired anxieties that could not hide their faces. It is impossible to do the work that is too late in the land and there are always small wishes that cannot be realized for one reason or another.

"When ... when ... when ..."

Wu Qingchen's family just sat down, and the third bell of the village's summer service rang.

Along with the bell, not far from the middle of the path, the director of the village of Ekli, Everett / Fair, stood up, next to two large villagers pushing a cart.

Hearing the bell, the village police officer hurried to the car, took out a tool from the steward, and began to distribute it to families of five or six people.

The speed of distributing tools was very fast. It didn't take long for the police officer to go to Wu Qingchen's family and put down a small wooden basket with three iron picks and one iron goblet inside.

Three iron picks, one iron goblet ...

Huh?

Wu Qingchen was a little strange.

At the same time, Old William immediately called the police officer's name quickly: "Espear, wait a minute ..."

The police officer turned, and Old William pointed to the tools in the wooden basket: "Espier, look, why are there only four things?"

The police officer looked at the small wooden basket and nodded his fingers, then looked at the five members of the old Williams family, his fingers nodded, his eyebrows frowned immediately, and he said to himself, "Oh, this how is this possible?"

With that said, the police officer's eyes were looking aside.

Richard and Freeman, who have noticed this on both sides, nodded hurriedly: "Ispiel, I see. There are really only four." "Yes, Izpipil, you are wrong."

After counting the number of tools and heads again, the look of the police officer became tense.

Xia Yi is related to his own interests. The agricultural tools that the master distributed to the responding villagers are very good. The key parts are made of iron. In the medieval world, this was a very precious tool. At the same time, due to this preciousness, the police distributed Every farm tool has records on hand, and it will be retrieved after the summer service ends.

Now, this precious piece of iron is inexplicably missing one, the police officer did not dare to dispose of it without authorization, immediately went to the steward, and quickly said a few words.

The villagers who noticed this sudden situation could see that, after hearing the response from the police officer, the director of Everett / Fair became serious immediately.

Footsteps quickly walked to the old William's family, counted the heads of the old William's family in advance, and then counted the tools in the small wooden basket. The expression became very serious and ugly, but when used for business The speed of turning over the sheepskin roll in his hand, after a few glances, the expression of the manager calmed down and changed to a stunned look.

"Old William, I've been too busy these past few years and have never been to your house. Your younger son has taken his name a few years ago. It's called Little Rose, right?"

"Yeah." Old William nodded quickly, for unknown reasons.

"That's right." Everett closed the sheepskin roll. "That's right, it's your youngest son ..."

Old William immediately stood up, his face full of shock: "What happened to Los?"

"It's okay, you can rest assured. Sit down, it's okay." Everett smiled, waved his hand gently, turned his head and smiled at the equally nervous Wu Qingchen, "Little Rose, this You do n’t use it for the next summer. Do n’t you know? ”

Not used here? what happened?

"I ... I don't know?" Wu Qingchen stood up blankly.

"Oh?" Evelette seemed a little surprised, looked at the sheepskin roll again, and looked up before saying, "Yes, Little Rose, the summer service here is nothing for you. From Summer Day, you will It's time to start summer service. It's been four days now. "

"I've ... began summer service?"

"Yeah." Evely nodded characteristically. "The past two days, Rev. Andre Little told me personally, and I said that the name of Rose is familiar. It turned out to be the younger son of Old William ... Alright, you're fast Go to church ... "

As he said, Everett turned to William, "... well, today there are many things, things are right, you take it well ..."

It turned out that working for Praia, teaching little Andre to count, is there such a role? Or is it finally working?

The director of Everett has walked away, and Wu Qingchen is still a little hesitant. The director of Everett has walked away. When returning to God, the old William was looking at Wu Qingchen, and his face could not hide his surprise and joy.
