Holy Bone

Chapter 641

Tianhu is next to the snow-capped mountains, and the sky above it is so blue that water drips out.

Here is the world's most magnificent scenery of snow-capped mountains and sky lakes, as well as the most barren land in the world. In winter, it is covered with white snow and ice and snow.

It is conceivable how difficult the life of the people living here is.

As they went deeper into the hinterland of the Heishi clan, they saw more and more local people along the way, most of them were unkempt, sallow and emaciated, and most of them were serfs.

The big landlords and big serf owners had tents and buttered tsampa to escape from the scorching sun on the plateau, while the serfs grazed and mowed grass day and night.

Because of perennial hunger and heavy labor, these serfs looked numb, their eyes were empty, and they had no hope for the future. They just repeated the heavy farm work in their hands over and over again.

Although they were all serfs, there was a clear gap in spirit between the serfs of the Heishi Clan and the serfs under the jurisdiction of the Tianshen Clan, the Golden Clan, and the Monkey Descendants.

In the serfs of the Heishi clan, there was no hope of numbness.

Even if they saw outsiders like Jin An passing by while grazing by the lake, they just kept their heads down and were busy mowing grass or driving cattle and horses. Hunger and heavy physical work had left them no energy to distract and think.

Because the ancient Zhang Zhung Kingdom had the worst environment and the most barren land in Tubo, many people asked the landlord for credit or borrowed seeds because they could not survive, and because the land was barren, it was difficult to grow things, and natural disasters often occurred Every year, many farmers or tenants went bankrupt and signed contracts of sale to become serfs.

But to become a serf here, the whole family, old and young, will become serfs from generation to generation. It is like the whole family is lured into the bottomless abyss by the devil.

Moreover, because the land in the ancient Zhang Zhung Kingdom was barren, no matter whether it was animal husbandry or farming, they could only reap the smallest harvest. Therefore, those landlords, serf owners and nobles who tried their best to exploit the serfs and only had cattle, horses and gold in their eyes would squeeze every serf even more. Earn more money.

As big as increasing the grazing time and farming time, shortening the rest time of the serfs, I wish the serfs could work at twelve hours a day without sleeping; In the eyes of readers, the most indispensable thing in the plateau is a steady stream of serfs. Today a few serfs are exhausted, and tomorrow there will be seven or eight members of a family who have not paid the seed money and become new serfs.But these landlords and nobles still feel that this is not enough. They even want to deprive the serfs of their last bit of dignity. They cannot wear clothes during the day, graze and farm naked, and sleep in the barn with cows and horses to keep warm at night.

This is the miserable experience that Jin An saw happened to the serfs along the way!And the mountains of people-eating people who are pressing on their heads and can't breathe!
Along the way, all he met were men, women, young and old, all naked, unkempt, standing on the meadow next to the holy lake in the snow-capped mountains, grazing, mowing grass and feeding cattle and horses, and their bodies were black and thin due to exposure to the tragic fate of serfs. The snow-capped mountains, holy lakes and blue sky form a severe contrast.

It's not that they don't know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and they are only numb, but that people are not as decent as a beast in the face of hunger.

Only by seeing more in this dark age can we fully understand how dark the mountains that are pressing down on this age are.

When he was near the West Kunlun Mountains, because it was deep in the plateau and desert, far away from populated areas, except for some mobile herdsmen, he rarely saw a few people on the road for several months. At that time, he had a deep understanding of this era The darkness still only stays in some memories that are about to be forgotten, but when he really saw more dark sides of this era with his own eyes, he realized that this man-eating hell is worse than what he saw on the serfs in the West Kunlun Mountains. Be more gory and direct.

At this time, Jin'an came to fetch water from a living lake formed by melting snow at the foot of a snow-capped mountain. On the other side of the lake, there were several male serfs with tanned skin and black and red skin grazing. These people They should be only about 20 years old, but they are all as old as 50 to [-] years old. The heavy work has crushed their thin bodies early on, making their already overwhelmed bodies bent prematurely.

In the face of Jin'an, an outsider, who came to fetch water from the lake, these male serfs turned a blind eye and continued to curl up, staring blankly at the shiny cows and horses they raised, trying to save energy as much as possible and make their stomachs hungry. have to slow down.

I don't know if they are thinking about their future life at this time?Still thinking that if I finish feeding the cows and horses earlier, can I get an extra piece of jerky for this meal at night?
Jin An fetched water and stood up. He looked at these disheveled, sallow and emaciated serfs, couldn't bear his eyes, and distributed the only dried meat left on his body to several people.

Because of hunger, those serfs became slow in thinking. They didn't notice Jin'an's approaching. It wasn't until Jin'an left the dried meat and turned away that they had been numb and expressionless. Focusing on Jin An's back, but at this time Jin An's back has gone far...

The scope of this living water lake is very large, so it also attracted many herdsmen and passersby to come here to fetch water. He fetched water in Jin'an, and when he was about to leave, he accidentally saw a familiar figure who had just finished fetching water. stand up.

"Huh? It's Gesang, the kidnapper of the trafficker!"

The first time he saw this kidnapper, Gesang, was when Uncle Dorje Tso took them into the Kunlun Snow Mountain. They were resting outside the permafrost meadow. Uncle Dorjetso's evaluation of this person is not good at all.

It is said that this man was bewitched by something evil ten years ago, and suddenly his temperament changed drastically. He was no longer a good herdsman, and his cattle and livestock were stopped. Not only did he sell people, but he also sold his wife and daughter. All the wandering days.

The reason why Jin An was so impressed with this kidnapper, Gesang, was because of his strange appearance.

Uncle Dorje Tso mentioned that this kidnapper, Gesang, was stealing all day long, greedy and stingy, and had amassed a lot of wealth in ten years.The strangest thing is that this person has always given people the image of being poor and poor. He lives for nothing and eats for nothing everywhere. up.

"Speaking of which, I didn't see those Indians who followed this kidnapper Gesang into the Kunlun Snow Mountain. I thought they also encountered the red snow disaster and the Kunlun blood corpse, and an accident happened. I didn't expect this kidnapper Gesang Not only did he leave Kunlun Snow Mountain alive, but he has been living well..."

"How could this kidnapper, Gesang, appear in the hinterland of the Heishi family by such a coincidence?"
