While the crowd was stunned, the young deputy inspector seemed to have his butt on fire and disappeared with his men in a flash.
Before everyone could react, a group of village officials rushed out from the inspection department, all glaring and shouting to find Yun Er.
Who is Yun Er? Is he the deputy inspector just now?
What did the deputy inspector do to these villagers? Did they bully their daughters?
…
Yun Chao and his team are very fast.
Faster than when we came.
Yun Chao became the deputy inspector, and all the boys under him went crazy with joy.
Although I don’t know what rank the deputy inspector is, he is definitely higher than Muramasa.
In other words, from now on in Sanshui Town, their super brother will be the most powerful official below one person and above ten thousand people!
Who would dare to bully Wolong Village in the future?
Who would dare to look down on them from Wolong Village in the future?
Especially when Yun Chao mentioned that the new inspection required each village to pay forty shi of grain, but Wolong Village did not have to pay, the boys looked at Yun Chao with admiration to the highest degree.
What am I saying? Brother Chao is awesome. You still don’t believe me?
Look now, Brother Chao has just become the deputy inspector and has saved Wolong Village forty shi of food. I don’t know how many benefits are waiting for us in Wolong Village in the future!
What did the people of the Dawu Dynasty fear most?
It's not about paying taxes.
Paying taxes is terrible, but it is not as terrible as doing corvee service.
Every time they served as corvees, there would be people from Wolong Village who would never return the goods.
Even if he could come back, he would probably come back with injuries and even missing arms and legs.
If Yun Chao becomes the deputy inspector and can help the people of Wolong Village to do less corvee work, it will really make you laugh out of your dreams!
To put it bluntly, even if we still have to do corvee work, with Yunchao as the deputy inspector protecting us, everyone can feel better. At the very least, it should be possible to arrange some light work.
With excitement, it's no wonder that all the boys are not fast. They can't wait to go back to Wolong Village in one step and share the good news with their fellow villagers!
…
"Um?"
Seeing that he was about to reach Wolong Village, Yun Chao was suddenly stunned and made a stop gesture.
Although the boys didn't know what Yun Chao was going to do, they carried out the order without hesitation and quickly slowed down.
Due to inertia, the group of people slid out for another ten meters before stopping. Several boys almost fell down.
Soon, everyone knew why Yun Chao stopped.
A woman's cry came on the wind.
Although it is very close to Wolong Village, only a few hundred meters away, in the winter, a few hundred meters outside the village is almost the same as in the wilderness. Who would come here to cry?
Moreover, the crying was getting closer and closer, as if it was coming towards Wolong Valley.
Yun Chao made another gesture, and the boys understood it and moved towards the south bank of Wolong Valley, taking advantage of the gap to avoid the sight of people on the bank.
The crying came from the shore. Judging from the direction, it should be on the south bank of Wolong Valley.
It didn't take long before the cry was approaching.
The woman's cry seemed to be mixed with the faint cry of a baby.
A woman was crying and talking about something...
"Master...please...our child..."
What's the meaning?
All the boys looked at each other.
The woman's voice sounded familiar, as if she was from Wolong Village.
Before the boys could figure out what was going on, they suddenly heard a man's voice again. Unfortunately, the man's voice was not loud, and the pitch was relatively low, making it difficult to hear what was said.
However, as the distance got closer, everyone gradually heard it clearly.
"Master, please, please keep her. After all, she is our flesh and blood..."
"Go away! Leave her? If you leave her, our whole family will starve to death!"
"..."
All the boys looked at each other, it was so unlucky that something like this happened!
Yun Chao was stunned, wondering why these boys had such expressions?
Yun Chao came through time travel. Although he had the memory of the original owner of his body, he was a human being in two lifetimes, so he couldn't remember some things for a while.
However, when he saw everyone's expressions, he quickly understood what was going on.
In an instant, two bloody characters appeared in his mind - Drowning Infant!
Due to backward productivity, the infant mortality rate was very high during the Dawu Dynasty.
However, unlike what later generations said, the high mortality rate of ancient people was due to poor medical standards.
Medical level is certainly a reason, but it is not the main reason.
The main reason is that the people are poor!
If you are too poor to afford medical treatment, too poor to raise a child, or even too poor to support yourself, no matter how good the medical treatment is, it will be in vain.
The ancients didn't have any effective contraceptive methods. As soon as the urge came up, they would do it directly.
Therefore, pregnancy is inevitable. Even if you no longer want to have children, what can you do if you get pregnant?
Contraceptive methods are backward, and abortion is even more undesirable. If it is not done properly, it will cost human life. If you get pregnant, you have to give birth.
However, the family is too poor. There is not enough food to eat. If there is an extra mouth, it will be even more stretched. It will not be able to feed the children at all. Unless they give the children the food rations of other family members, then the others will starve to death.
Whether to starve your family to death or starve to death your newborn child, I’m afraid you have to choose even if you don’t want to.
In addition, many people prefer boys over girls, so when a girl is born, many people will try to kill them.
Even if you don't kill him, you will starve to death.
In order to reduce the child's pain, and at the same time, out of sight and out of mind, many people use a very cruel method to drown newborn girls!
Listening to the conversation between a couple on the shore, it seems that the man wants to throw the child into Wolong ditch, but the woman is distressed and unwilling.
After understanding what was going on, Yun Chao almost lost his temper.
Others are used to it and can remain indifferent, but he, Yun Chao, cannot stand by and watch.
Not to mention the fact that his little cousin was abducted in his previous life, Yun Chao had an obsession in his heart. Even though he was proud of being a modern man, he would not allow him to allow such cruel and inhumane behavior to appear on his own territory!
So, Yun Chao waved his hand, and the boys began to untie their skates.
After everyone took off their skates, the two people on the shore also arrived at the edge of the ditch.
"Head of the family, please, please keep her. I can go to Muramasa's construction site to work as a helper, and I'll support this child, okay?"
"What a great girl!"
The man sounded very angry: "Don't mention that boy Yun Er to me. If you dare to work on his construction site, I will divorce you!"
By this time, all the boys had already figured out who the two people were.
One is Sister You from the west of the village, and the other is her husband, whose surname is He. He has no given name. Because he is the fourth in the family, everyone calls him He Laosi.
Yun Chao suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the way the boys looked at him.
Um?
What's going on with these guys? Why are their eyes so weird?
