Xie Linlang obediently did not make a sound, until the old man relaxed, she just some strange asked.

"Was that the man from the shipping department? Why are you so afraid of them? "

Seeing Xie Linlang speak standard Mandarin, the old woman replied in Mandarin with a slight accent.

"Are you not a runaway slave?"

"Me?" Xie Linlang looked down at the collar around her neck. She felt that the taste of the market was too strong, so she put a cloth around her mouth and nose. Unexpectedly, she was regarded as a runaway slave.

So she shook her head. "I'm not. I'm here to buy things, and I'm crowded here."

See wife old woman immediately nervous, Xie Linlang again way.

"But I'm not a bad man either. Don't worry. I know you were just kind to help me, but I don't know What's the matter with the shipping department? "

My wife saw that she did not look malicious, this just slowly said.

"I haven't been to the inferior port, have you? I don't know about the shipping department... "

This is the first time that Xie Linlang knows that the capital city even has ports?

The old lady continued, "the city shipping department is in charge of port access and management, and they are also responsible for collecting taxes

You just saw that the people outside were running so fast, either they didn't pay taxes, they were escaping slaves, or they were black families without household dishes Once these three kinds are caught by the city shipping department, the punishment is very severe, so everyone has to run. "

Xie Linlang recalled that before, he found that almost everyone was running. These people could not be slaves or black families. They should be tax evaders.

The old woman sighed.

"Taxes are getting heavier every year Those who were run down by slaves and could not survive would hide in the inferior ports to make a living, because the people of the city shipping department disliked the smell here and didn't come often, so they could evade taxes. "

Thank you very much!

Seeing her in a daze, and it was not early outside, the old woman was kind-hearted and asked Xie Linlang whether to stay for dinner.

Xie Linlang knew that she certainly didn't have much food and where she would eat it.

But the old woman's speaking skills, already from one side of the stove, filled a bowl of porridge to her.

"You're welcome. It's not a good thing. It's just ordinary fish porridge. Eat it..."

Said, she filled a few bowls of porridge out, while Sheng side also said.

"You don't look like a bad person. The world is dangerous. You have to help each other to survive..."

Xie Linlang holding the pottery bowl, looking at it is not thick, but also mixed with a little fishy smell of porridge, the heart is very emotional.

At this time, see the old woman picked up the tray to go where, Xie Linlang rushed to help.

"Where are you going to take it? I'll help you! "

She is still very strong, carrying the tray with six ceramic bowls, which can still be easily lifted.

The old lady saw that she could do it without politeness. She moved a wooden cover in the corner of the room, revealing a cellar!

She went down first, Xie Linlang was a little strange, but also followed closely.

As soon as he went down, a faint coolness came to his face. There were four young male slaves in the cellar where food could only be stored!

As soon as they saw Xie Linlang, they immediately became alert. However, Xie Linlang was brought down by his wife, and they didn't say anything.

The old woman said happily, "the fish brought back by the eldest brother is very fresh today. Please come and have dinner."

Xie Linlang put the tray on the simple stone table in the cellar. The young men each carried a bowl, but they all picked up less.

See Xie Linlang look at them stupefied, the old woman also did not conceal, said directly.

"These children are runaway slaves, but thanks to them, the old woman didn't starve to death, but they don't like to talk. Don't mind."

It turns out that the people in this area are very poor, and most of them are old and weak, or those who can't live outside.

Later, many escaped slaves came here. Although they were slaves, they were diligent and energetic.

Therefore, almost every household will take in runaway slaves. On the one hand, they can help them with their work, and on the other hand, they can provide shelter for them, so that they will not be captured by the officials.

The two sides supported each other, avoided the city shipping department and the city service, and struggled in the dark side of the prosperous capital city.

Moreover, these are the normal conditions of Lianyu port, as many people know, and it is not a secret.

After hearing this, Xie Linlang felt rather heavy. She asked, "I see that people outside hate slaves very much. Why are you willing to take them in?"

The old lady said with a smile.

"What kind of hatred is there? They are all poor children, and if they were not willing to stay with me, I, an old woman, would have starved to death.

Even if many people outside hate slaves, what they really hate is not slaves.

It's like the lady of the king's family at the entrance of the bazaar. She calls out that she will drive all the slaves out of the capital. But in fact, their family will cook more food every day to feed the slaves under the Dongqiao bridge, and say that they will eat the leftovers of their own family.But they are all poor people. Who can have leftovers... "

She said, "the old women just want to buy and sell slaves. They just want to buy and sell slaves.

The real hateful is the people above! Alas Don't talk about it! They're all big people. They don't care about the life and death of ordinary people like us. "

See Xie Linlang has been asking questions, holding the atherosclerotic bowl are not moving, four silent male slaves, there is a tone of some bad asked.

"Why don't you eat? Don't you like it? "

Although Xie Linlang dressed up ordinary, but the aura of this thing, can not be covered with clothes.

As soon as he said this, the old woman was a little embarrassed, and she said something awkward.

"There's nothing good at home What's more, the fish porridge is not bad. It's said that people living in Dongji can only eat one meal a day, and they have to do the heaviest drudgery. People die every day. "

Xie Lin Lang took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "no, I don't dislike it. I just feel that the world is not easy."

She said she bowed her head to eat porridge, which was really fishy and not delicious, but when she ate it, she would think of the days when she couldn't eat rice before, and she also had a very awkward time.

At first, in order to make her obedient, the Witch King locked her in a dungeon for three days and three nights. When the rice and water were not in and she was extremely hungry, she ate live scorpions. Now I think, how did a person who was afraid of insects eat it at that time?

She ate the porridge clean, and then got up to leave. It can be seen that the male slaves did not welcome her.

However, before leaving, Xie Linlang took out all the silver on her body, a total of three Liang, all to the old woman.

The old woman was startled and didn't wait to refuse. Xie Linlang had already left.
