Chapter 209: Dry Wood Meets Mars, Fire of Freedom from the Pruk Empire [5/5 Requires Automatic Subscription].
In a suburban factory in the Gruborgni Empire, the burning of inferior coal made steam boilers crackle from time to time, and the roar of the machines was deafening.
At this moment, outside the office of the factory leader, a group of thinly dressed workers were retreating one after another under the pressure of the factory thugs.
The young man who was originally the leader was even more thrown to the ground with a whip by the person in charge at this moment, and the blood was drenched and the skin was fleshy, which made people shocked and really gave a heavy hand.
The young man on the ground was curled up and convulsing in pain. However, the flames of anger in his eyes could not be suppressed.
“That’s what we deserve!” You guys are looking for all kinds of reasons to withhold our wages, and even don’t even give us the winter clothes that were originally promised, you are breaking the law! ”
The words of the youth not only did not have the slightest deterrent, but attracted the wanton ridicule of the thugs around them. The person in charge even whipped another whip on the other person’s body, and his face was full of arrogance.
“Breaking the law? Then you go to the sheriff’s department in the city and sue me!” See if those sheriffs want their winter coats or give you the untouchables to enforce the law! ”
“Snap!”
The young man’s blink of an eye was directly passed out by this person in charge.
“Yuck!”
A mouthful of thick phlegm was spat directly on the young man’s face, fat and strong, and the head of the factory who held up the Pruuk Empire wool and wool suit on his body looked around.
The fierce look immediately frightened the surrounding workers, and they took a few steps back.
A flash of pride and contempt flashed in his eyes, and the attitude of the person in charge became more and more arrogant, pointing to the young man who had passed out on the ground, and it was 12 shouting loudly.
“Don’t say Lao Tzu didn’t give you a chance, the city gates haven’t closed yet!” If you want to go to the Security Department to sue me, just go! I’m just waiting here! ”
“Fuck, what the fuck are you talking to Lao Tzu about the Pluk Empire?” I think this guy is a spy mixed in with the Pluk Empire! It should be handed over to the people of the State Supervision Bureau! ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone changed slightly, and the place where the State Supervision Bureau went in, either death or death.
Fortunately, this person in charge is also aware of how many pounds he has, and if he really finds the State Supervision Bureau on the pole, he himself will certainly not be better.
After a few words of warning, the people who had passed out in disgust threw the young man who had passed out of the factory.
As night fell, the workers dragged their tired bodies and a few slightly stronger men carried the unconscious youth toward the city.
The guards, who were guarding the city gates and armed with inferior flintlock guns produced by the Confederates, saw these guys without the slightest oil and water, and put their mouths straight in.
“Oh, it’s a pity that the group of people in today’s process are rich people one by one, but unfortunately all of them are Plük Empire people who are strictly required to be protected above, and several of the chicks inside are sighing…”
These workers, who had just entered the city and returned to the dirty slums, had not yet had time to unload their exhaustion and agonize over whether to eat half a loaf of bread tonight.
One news spread throughout the slums.
“Some Prussian Empiremen, with plenty of food and clothes to help them!”
Above the dimly lit sludge-covered square, a poor man like a foul-smelling rat crawling out of a deep cave gathered and rushed to this side.
The city guards, who had received strict orders from above, demanded to protect these people, fiercely drew their swords or raised flintlock guns.
“Back off! Back all! ”
“I warn you! All lined up! Those who dare to make trouble will be killed! ”
The fierce sound and the cold sword calmed the originally excited poor people one after another, and some wanted to leave, but when they saw the steaming pots of broth in the square, and the piles of bread being lifted out, they were completely unable to move their feet and obediently lined up.
“One bowl of broth per person, one loaf of bread, and another distribution in an hour!”
A series of voices sounded, which made the poor people of these alliance countries show their surprises.
“Snap!”
A voice sounded, and suddenly under the horrified gaze of everyone, the originally dark square became dark, and the distant music came the roar of something.
A venue that looks like a stage has been set up.
Yule looked at everything in front of him, accustomed to the scenes of the people living and working in peace and contentment in the Pruk Empire, and now when he looks at these things, he only feels depressed.
“Master Yule, I think you can start, right?” There are more and more people, and we can’t spare more security forces to maintain the scene. ”
The lord of the city did not look good, and the tone was quite unkind, and they had already informed Yule in advance of what they wanted.
And he also secretly told them that when Yule left, he would carry out a round of severe rectification of the slums and dispose of some poor people who had serious ideological problems.
Isn’t that adding to their workload?
Yule snorted coldly, did not speak, and ordered the performance team to start preparations. The band and stage actors began to prepare backstage.
At this time, the square can already be said to be crowded, after a round of food distribution, because there will be more in an hour, these people are not willing to leave, so it creates opportunities for the performance.
These poor people had the cotton clothes provided by the ranks of the Prussian Empire, and they had just eaten a full meal, and the crowd was gathered, but it was not so cold.
They all looked curiously at what this team from the Pluk Empire was for.
“Dang! Dangdang! While! Dangdang! ”
Loud music sounded, and several actors, wearing shackles and handcuffs that clearly looked like prisoners, began to sing. Around them, a jailer was staring at them fiercely.
“Look down! Look down! Avoid their eyes…”
The sad Gruborgni language was sung by these actors.
And the city lord who was also here, after seeing the clothes of the jailers on the stage, his face was instantly gloomy to the extreme. It’s not anything resemblance anymore, it’s just fucking the same as their sheriff’s clothes!
Looking coldly at Yule, who was conducting the band on one side, the eyes of the two collided without giving in.
There is no doubt that the act of relief of giving food and cotton clothes before Yule’s performance here adds a lot of points to today’s performance. At least he understood that a person who was extremely hungry did not have the heart to think about any performance, and people would only think a lot when they were full, but when the next meal did not land.
And this is the time when Yule and them take advantage of the void.
The poor people gathered at the bottom of the stage, looking at Valjean’s actors, sadly expressed the oppression around them through song, expressed the discrimination that followed after they were released from prison, and showed the oppression suffered by the poor people to the fullest…
Unconsciously, the people at the bottom of the stage were infected by the performance, and one by one they clasped their hands.
Looking at the sheriffs in front of them, the expression was obviously wrong. In the crowd, a doctor accompanying the Pruk Empire was shuttling around, and when he saw some people with obvious diseases, he came forward to give treatment.
A single treatment is naturally impossible to cure them, but it can greatly magnify the already tall image of the Pruk Empire in the hearts of these people.
Today, in the factory on the outskirts of the city, the young man who was whipped is also standing in the crowd under the support of several people. The sharp pain in his body made him shiver even if he was replenished with food, wrapped in cotton clothes.
A doctor of the Prussian Empire immediately saw him.
“Help him to the tent over there and let me see his injuries.”
Several people who were staring at the stage with a nervous look were stunned when they heard the voice, and then they saw a white-clad woman with a cross symbol on her head in front of them.
The woman saw that they did not react and said it again.
The youth looked at her in disbelief: “You, are you willing to save me?” I didn’t have the money and even lost my job today. The woman shook her head:. ”
“We don’t want money.”
When the young man was helped to the tent where the woman said he was, he found that there were already many people here. There are frostbites on the feet, there are wounds on the head infected with maggots, and there are eye diseases that can’t be broken at all….. They are all kinds of minor diseases, which have been caused by the poor medical environment and poverty for a long time.
At this moment, a doctor from the Prussian Empire was being treated.
They had never seen it, but it was put into pharmacies in the territory of the Confederate countries, and the absolutely expensive drugs were used on them without money.
Behind the youth, the woman seriously disinfected the whip marks on the back of the other party, and from the perspective of the youth, she could still see the performance on the stage.
An actor dressed as their poor man sang and the lyrics made the young man who had been whipped and did not shed tears finally unable to hold back.
Tears poured out.
“At the end of the long day, you’re a little older again”
“For the poor, that’s all there is to it”
“It’s a struggle, it’s a war, nobody gives anything”
“It’s another busy day, what is it for”
“It’s just one day less.”
“At the end of the long day, you’re a little colder again”
“The clothes on the body are thin, and they can’t resist the cold”
“The righteous gentleman hurried by, and he could not hear the women and children crying”
“Winter is coming quickly, ready to kill the ring…”
The song cruelly tells the story of their current lives, the middle of winter is coming, this year’s winter is coming even earlier, but they are now wearing only a relief cotton coat given by the Pluk Empire.
Food and whatnot, there is no land, the future is still full of despair.
“When will His Majesty Plücker come, when will he come to our rescue, and will I still be alive to see it?”
The youth wept in a desperate whisper.
The woman did not speak, she could not help anything other than helping the other party to deal with the injuries on her body as much as possible, but at this moment she could not help but flash a sadness in her eyes.
A few years ago, when I was, wasn’t I also a serf woman who always needed to worry about being favored by the master’s family? It was only earlier that he was rescued and protected by His Majesty Prücker.
Extreme sadness and despair spread like a virus through the crowd, and the performances continued on stage. Suddenly, a low but slow song sounded, as if it were about to declare war on the darkness. Let these poor people, who were originally sad and indignant, seem to have a fire under their eyes.
“You can hear the people singing, and the angry people singing loudly”
“This song comes from the people, no longer willing to be enslaved”
“When your heartbeat is excited, it echoes with the drums of war”
“A new life is about to begin, when the rising sun of tomorrow is…”
