She Is Not a Witch

Chapter 7



Pullman's home is in brown wood village, which is close to the forest of the tisilan mountains. It is so remote that it is impossible to find any record on the map of the kingdom.

The only specialty in the village is gooseberry originated from the forest. The bright red grape like gooseberry is a rare berry with sour taste. Some nobles like to eat it, so every year businessmen come to the village to buy it, which is also the biggest income of the whole village in a year.

It happened this year when businessmen came to buy it.

Fresh fruit is the most important thing. At this time of year, master Mok would come to live in Wumu village one or two weeks in advance and sell the currants produced in the village in batches to nearby cities. This kind of fruit sells well and attracts people. In order to show their dignity, those rich people in the city often buy some treats to show their superiority and wealth.

What's more, it's not expensive to buy. If you give these silly villagers a basket of silver coins, they will be very happy. And he transported to the city to wash, put in the white plate can sell 60 silver a basket, can be described as profiteering.

The high-end shops in the noble area of the city, these dusty country bumpkins will never have a chance to enter, and they will not know what price these fruits will sell. Lord Mok has been in this business for many years.

Midway, just met Pullman's sister Ashley.

Ashley is 14 years old. She just came back from a bath by the river. Her beautiful young face immediately attracted master Mok's eyes.

Pullman's sister was liked by the merchant master Mok, and then told his parents that she could take her sister to the city to be a maid for the noble master.

Being a servant for the nobles is a much happier life than ordinary villagers, safe and stable without starvation. In this dangerous world, it is a profession that quite a number of civilians yearn for.

So Pullman's parents happily agreed, so Mok also gave Pullman's parents a sum of money, Pullman is also very happy.

After all, his sister had a good job, and he felt vaguely that if he had the money, he could discuss the marriage with Joana.

But what I didn't expect is that since then, he hasn't met his sister, who is a little thin but obedient.

After his sister left, two months later, he went into the city of Turin to find out the address of the noble's home. He wanted to see his sister, but he was stopped by the guard.

He was just a civilian boy, so naturally he couldn't get into the aristocratic courtyard, so he stood opposite and asked the servants for information about his sister.

But it was strange that no one knew his sister. At last, he felt something was wrong. One day, he sneaked in while it was dark. Because he was not familiar with the terrain, he was quickly caught by the guards.

In the west wind Kingdom, the lives of civilians are not worth money. Moreover, he broke into the house without permission and was soon tortured. Fortunately, he was indeed a teenager in a nearby village. Many people recognized him and finally released him after a severe warning.

But he still did not give up, full of scars on the knee kneeling on the ground, constantly begging the guard can let him see his sister.

In the end, a young guard couldn't see it any more. When he left, he whispered in his ear that you can go to the barren mountains in the south of the city.

When he hobbled to the barren mountain, what appeared in front of him were small mounds of bare bones.

This is a mass grave.

A bad expectation appeared in his mind. He looked around and found only a body of similar shape.

But it was still recognizable from the broken clothes that it was his sister.

Yes, the noble master wants a maid, but it's not the kind of maid that people imagine serving the daily life, but a plaything that can be discarded at any time.

The boy trembled his hands and could not accept the fact. He sat beside the body for a whole day and night. Finally, he dug the soil and buried the thin body in the soil.

When he said that, the boy's voice was choked and filled with remorse. If only he had advised his parents at that time, if only he didn't indulge in the illusion of Joana at that time.

Why, why, their family just want to live a better life! Can't such a tiny wish be allowed?

"Do you want revenge?"

The clear voice of the silver haired girl came from across the fire.

"I think, but I don't have the strength, and my parents don't allow me to do it."

The parents of the young man were also aware of the truth, but maybe they considered the huge gap of strength, the hardship of adult life, or they didn't care about the daughter. They didn't ask Mok for revenge, prepared to make peace, and let Pullman work at home, and didn't want to go to the city of Turin any more.

"Why? Why can they be so indifferent? "

The boy grasped his knee tightly, and his voice revealed incomprehension and anger.

In children's eyes, parents are heaven. Aren't they omnipotent?

Lorraine Hill also recalled some memories of the past. After junior high school, the myth of her parents in her heart had been shattered. She thought she was much smarter than them.

However, after graduation and being beaten by the society, she began to understand some of her parents' choices. Many things she didn't want to do, but she couldn't.

Just as Lorraine hill was about to enlighten the teenager, the mechanical voice of the system came back.

New task: answer the doubts of young Pullman, and get a reward according to the degree of completion, at least 70%( Current progress (0%)

Reward: every time you achieve 20% progress, you will get a lucky draw. When the completion rate is 100%, you will get an extraordinary creation formula.

Well, does the system still have real-time emergency tasks?

Lorraine Hill began to reflect on the experience of his youth and the possible doubts in his heart.

"Maybe parents have their own concerns."

Lorraine Hill began to explain to Pullman the hardships of adult life, not only to support the family, aristocrats and businessmen are powerful, even if they go to appeal, but also to consider the only son Pullman's future survival and so on.

However, the teenager is still dissatisfied. He can't accept the result. When the progress reaches 26%, he is stuck.

Lorraine Hill also understands that such a mild explanation is not enough to convince the other party. In other words, she may not be able to listen to it.

Then tell him the cruel truth.

"Because you have no power“

The girl stirred the fire pile, added a few dead branches, and watched the dying flame grow larger.

The boy stayed and lowered his head.

"Yes, I can't beat that nobleman."

"No, I'm not talking about this power. The noble is not engaged in production. His body is not as strong as you. One to one, you should be better than him. "

"What does that mean?"

"Have you ever thought about why some people do nothing, but have more wealth than you, and can be unscrupulous, bullying and plundering?"

"I, I don't know."

A problem that never occurred to him appeared in his mind.

"Their fields are planted by civilians, their clothes are woven by civilians, their food is taken care of by civilians, and they let civilians protect them as guards. Why can they do this? "

"Because they gave the money?" The boy hesitated for a while and answered.

"Where does their money come from?" Asked the girl.

"Their money..." the young man began to recall what he had seen and heard in his short life.

"Their money comes from taxes, rents, and your labor and production for him." The girl answered for Pullman.

"Yes." But there seems to be something wrong with it. Pullman can't tell.

"First of all, don't you think it's strange that civilians work and produce for them, and they give them money."

"Why are they getting richer and richer, even without work?"

"Probably because labor costs more money?" The boy answered in doubt, and then the progress began to move forward.

Lolan Hill murmured, and began to recall the memory of that era, when countless people worked hard and even worked overtime without any entertainment in 996, why they still couldn't afford to buy a house.

"Yes, the deal is not entirely fair. You make more money, and they give you only part of it."

"This..."

"Is it really that simple? Why don't civilians produce by themselves?"

The boy didn't know the answer at all. Yes, why not?

"Because they have resources that civilians don't have. This resource can be a lot of things, a cow, a shop, a special relationship or a right."

"You don't have to rely on these scarce and necessary things, so they can make such an unfair deal."

"Yes." The boy's voice was a little low.

"Can they do this all the time, and poor people like me can only work for them forever?"

"It's not always the case. Maintaining such behavior requires good order, provided that everyone is reasonable."

"You must have heard of robbers, the unreasonable ones who take everything from you and give you nothing."

"So, they will pay part of the money to hire guards. Although these guards are not engaged in production and do not generate money, they can guarantee the long-term existence of interests."

The young man seemed to understand a lot, and seemed to understand nothing. The world presented itself to him in an unprecedented way.

Watch the progress on the system go up to 68% and then stop.

Lorraine Hill sighed a little in his heart. It seemed that he had finished speaking.

"They have 10000 gold coins in their hands, and only use 10 gold coins to hire guards. Why don't these guards guard themselves?"

Lorraine Hill's voice became more formal.

"Why don't you knock down the guards employed by 10 gold coins and snatch the 10000 gold coins?"

"Because there is a kingdom as the last guardian of order, and those who break the law and system will be suppressed, exterminated and executed."

"Why does the Kingdom protect these people, even if they do evil, why do they tolerate each other, why is the law not on your side?"

"Because they are the masters of this country. They are nobles and rich businessmen, not you civilians."

"Of course, they want to safeguard the interests of their own class."

"Even if you kill this noble, as long as this kind of environment exists, this kind of thing will still be repeated."

At this point, Lorraine Hill stopped for a while, waiting for the boy to think slowly.

Pullman was silent for a long time before he asked slowly.

"I still don't understand. Can it be so unfair? Will it always be so?"

"The state, to some extent, is the embodiment of just order. If justice is lost, the foundation of the state will also be destroyed."

"Do you want to ask me how I can change all this, that is to build a country where all people are equal, a country that is fair and just, intelligent and determined, rich and powerful."

In his previous life, Lorraine Hill took part in the college entrance examination of science and majored in engineering. For Ma Lie, he didn't learn very well.

But fortunately, this country, which is struggling to build in the storm and suffering, has clearly written the art of dragon slaughtering in every middle school student's textbook. Where this country came from, how it was built, what mistakes we have made, and how to solve these contradictions are clearly told to every citizen.

Perhaps it is not perfect, there are still many problems, but it does not deny that its greatness, our soldiers, the sacred faith, will never be obliterated.
