C252 The Women of This Era

Life, nature is one thing, and there's another very important thing, the circumstances.

Different circumstances could allow one to walk a different path of life.

For example, Third Zhang.

If he didn't meet Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun would have seen through his character.

That would be the same as before.

Combined with his original hunting skill.

Who knows how many people would die at his hands in the future.

There were two types of killing demons in this world. One was to kill people for fun. They were addicted and could not be controlled. It was like loving a stuffed toy. People could not help but hug it, hug it tightly, and use all their strength.

They were a bit more serious, they just wanted to see someone get destroyed... Ordinary people could not understand.

The other was that they did not care about life at all, just like Third Zhang, who was born to be indifferent to life.

Without reverence, the consequences of indifference were often to be ravaged.

Many people like Third Zhang would never make mistakes in his life, nor would he kill. On one hand, he did not have any professional skills, and on the other hand, he did not have the right opportunity.

But Third Zhang was different.

He was very professional in killing.

Moreover, his living environment also made it very easy for him to have conflicts with others.

This meant that something was definitely going to happen to him.

Xiao Yun sighed and suddenly looked up and smiled. "That... Third Zhang, I believe everyone has already guessed my identity. From the way you address me, from the beginning, I believe that you all think that my family background is extraordinary. Am I right? "

Everyone laughed awkwardly.

Third Zhang said, "No, it's not that your family background is extraordinary. Young Master Xiao, you are not a mortal! Someone like you... We, who sell our strength for a living, might not be able to see you in our entire lives. Now that we can travel with you, we feel that this is our own luck!"

He said it with some excitement.

It was obvious what he was thinking.

Xiao Yun nodded silently.

It was good that he had such an idea. It proved that this guy was not hopeless.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yun made a decision.

"Third Zhang, let's not talk about other things first. My family background is not bad. I am also not bad, but I always have fewer guards by my side. If there are enough guards... As you can see, I will not end up like this. Being in the wilderness and freezing cold, I'm in trouble. That's why I thought, if I had a guard like you by my side... That should be a good thing."

Third Zhang was stunned for a moment and quickly said excitedly, "Is it really okay? I... Can I really do it? "

The people beside him heard it. On one hand, they were jealous, and on the other hand, they were happy for Third Zhang.

On second thought...

The mountain forest was only so big, and there were only so many things inside. This is not some primitive forest, this is a mass grave. If he wanted to walk into the deep mountains, he would have to walk for seven or eight days. As the number of hunters increased, to be honest, it became more and more difficult to find a way to live.

If Third Zhang was not good at hunting, this would have been a good thing in the first place.

Once they thought of this, everyone started to feel happy for Third Zhang.

Xiao Yun stopped everyone from congratulating him. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't make it clear just now, and I didn't tell you everything. Actually, there is a requirement for you to be my guard. The most important thing is to train. You need to follow my instructions. You need to do some physical training and learn some martial arts. I think you're quite talented. If you train well, you might even become a martial arts master. But there's one thing..."

Xiao Yun fell silent.

He did not continue.

Everyone was stunned.

Some of the more lively ones suddenly realized what was going on. They turned around and whispered to Third Zhang, "Young Master Xiao is obviously someone with a big family. If he finds a guard or something... It will be easy for him to pick you now. That is your good fortune! Others might be envious, but this kind of big family... they need to sign a contract to sell themselves. Otherwise, who would support you?"

Third Zhang was also stunned after hearing this.

A contract to sell their bodies?

That was completely losing his freedom.

From a person who could still be protected by the law to a private property of the Xiao family, while being protected by the Xiao family, if the other party wanted to kill him, he would not be able to resist, and no one would care.

Xiao Yun was also a little nervous.

Logically speaking, if it was not a last resort, who would want him to become someone else's slave?

If it was an ordinary person, Xiao Yun would not care about the contract of selling himself, but... This fellow was born to kill. If he didn't have control over this aspect, he would have muttered in his heart, and it wouldn't be easy to deal with him in the future.

But who knew that after Third Zhang heard this, he immediately jumped up. He laughed heartily and said, "Since I'm going to become Young Master's guard, I naturally have to sign the contract. Otherwise, if Young Master doesn't want me one day, my hunting skills will be lost again. Wouldn't that be a huge loss? "

"Er..."

The corner of Xiao Yun's eyes twitched a few times.

He did not expect the other party to say that.

He thought about it carefully.

As expected, freedom was something that people would only have after eating and warming up!

This could also be considered a "new type of demand."

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Then it's decided. After this hunt ends, we'll go to your house first. When the time comes, bring your family along and go to my house together."

"Ah? You have to bring your family too?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "You are the only laborer in your family. If you leave... Are they starving? If you don't have the protection of a strong man, you can give them the case money. They may not be bullied."

"Oh, that's true."

Third Zhang nodded.

"Well... then I will follow Young Master's instructions."

It was not easy for him to squeeze out these words. On one hand, he was not used to it. On the other hand, he was uncultured. He had learned these words from watching a show.

In fact, most of the citizens had learned some etiquette from the drama school.

That kind of entertainment program was a very important teaching segment in this world.

The hunt went smoothly.

Everyone carefully entered the mountain. After killing enough beasts, they turned around and left the mountain forest, walking on the road of returning home.0

Third Zhang's home was on a small hill.

Under the hill was a village, but his home lived on the mountainside.

Behind the mountainside was a piece of desolate arable land. It was said that it was cultivated by Third Zhang's father, Second Zhang, when he was young. After that, he got sick and couldn't get out of bed. Third Zhang liked hunting, so the land was desolate.

Originally, he wanted to let his two sisters take care of it, but Third Zhang said that he could still make money from hunting, so he did not want the sisters to work.

As long as he did this farm work, no matter how beautiful a girl was, she would not be able to grow up. If he could not marry into a good family because of this in the future, it would be a huge loss.

From their conversation, Xiao Yun learned another characteristic of Third Zhang.

He had the idea of fighting with all his might and climbing up the ladder!

In fact, in this kind of family, if a woman knew how to work, on the contrary, there was a more market. Civilians rarely cared about whether their wives were beautiful or not. Of course, it was best to be beautiful, but on the basis of being beautiful, more importantly, they could work.

On the contrary, those who were too beautiful would find it very difficult to marry in the village.

Every man in the village knew that those kinds of women could not be raised, nor could they be raised.

Xiao Yun felt that the women in this world were really too bitter.

When they were young, they worked. Outside the house, they cut and cut the farm work. They did not do less than men. Then, they would give birth to children and take care of them. When they were older, when he was older, he had to take care of his in-laws. He also had to take care of his own children. The men in the family were not good at housework.

Everything was on the woman.

They felt that this was the right thing to do.

Fairness? There had never been fairness in the world.

All fairness is the arrogance of fools or the means of the wise, that's all.

However, Third Zhang was different. From his words, it could be seen that he didn't want his sister to marry into a family. Instead, he wanted them to marry into a good family.

This required a huge dowry!

After all, it was not right to not marry into a family. The difference between them could only be made up with dowry.

He even hoped that his sister could marry a scholar or a military instructor.

This dowry had to be heavier.

For this purpose, he worked hard and did not hesitate at all when he sold himself.

This made Xiao Yun somewhat uncertain. Was this fellow considered to have feelings and loyalty, or was he heartless and cold-blooded?
