MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 754 : Those who struggle against the suffering of life (Part 1)

In the pitch-black night, the bright moon is just like in the past, exuding brilliance unscrupulously.

In an old wooden house, the weak candlelight only illuminates the dining table, and the places in the house that are not illuminated by the candlelight are still invisible.

Luna put a piece of black bread that was hard enough to knock off a big tooth, and a noodle soup that was as thin as clear water, and put it in front of her younger brother Kadel. This was the dinner for the two of them.

With a lot of thought, Kadel broke up the black bread, soaked it in the thin noodle soup, and then got a bowl of batter that was barely enough to satisfy his hunger.

As the existence at the bottom of the Silver Moon Kingdom, they have always survived like this, and it seems that they have never changed over the years.

And the brilliance of the new law has never shone on them...

Luna, who is cheerful by nature, soon found out that something was wrong with her younger brother, put down the wooden spoon and asked, "Just tell me what's on your mind, sister will help you solve it!"

Kadel shyly lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Sister, I want to go to school."

Luna froze and fell silent.

She was present when the village chief summoned the villagers to read the announcement. Frankly speaking, she didn't think going to school would be of any use.

The bottom is the bottom, and the untouchables are the untouchables. No matter how hard they try, it is impossible to change their situation!

What's more, there is still a question about tuition fees...

Luna bit her lip and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to school?"

Cadell clutched the wooden bowl in his hand, and replied: "Because I don't want to live in a rotten wooden house for the rest of my life, and I don't want to eat this kind of batter that is hard to swallow!"

Another point, which he dared not say directly, was that after he became a big shot, he would have to question the king face to face, how could two serfs redeem four serfs? !

Kadeer still can't forget the day when the village head and the officials broke into the house arbitrarily and took away most of their food. The parents' desperate resistance was useless.

Afterwards, he found out that it was the king who had implemented a temporary economic system that he didn't know what it was, and forced the serfs to redeem themselves, and all surplus food had to be handed over to the state.

It was also from that day on that my parents worked hard, just to redeem their family of four as soon as possible.

Yes, you heard it right, two serfs are going to redeem four serfs!

According to the king's redemption policy, as long as a serf worked hard, he would be able to redeem himself within five years.

But this is only for adults!

The sons and daughters of serfs are also serfs. These small serfs have no productive capacity, and the debt will naturally be transferred to the big serfs.

People's energy is always limited, no matter how hard they work, two people are destined to be unable to redeem four people.

Working day and night, exhaustion and hunger combined, so his father and mother died of exhaustion in the field, leaving only him and his sister to depend on each other.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the fruit of their parents' hard work is enough to redeem their siblings and free them from their status as serfs.

But even after getting rid of their serf status, the life of the siblings is not much different from before. They still live in a wooden house that leaks, and they still eat tasteless food.

That being the case, what is the point of parents dying in the fields? !

These thoughts, which others regard as outrageous, have been lingering in Kadel's mind for a long time.

This time the village chief called everyone together and said that the king had established a public school, and he could go to school with only a small tuition fee. He immediately realized that this might be an opportunity to change his destiny.

A... chance to confront the king face to face in the future! !

Looking at her brother with a determined face, Luna's heart softened, and she nodded in a strange way: "Okay, since you want to go to school, then my sister must support it!"

"Really!" Kadel first stood up happily, and then lowered his head in disappointment: "But, can our family make up enough for the tuition?"

The public school is a six-year school, during which time food and housing are still in charge. No matter how much the tuition fee is reduced or exempted, you have to pay five silver coins at a time.

Although it is usually my sister who manages the money, he also knows that the family is not rich...

Luna got up and stroked her younger brother's hair, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if it's a waste of money, I will definitely let my lovely brother go to school!"

Only then did Kadel feel relieved, sat back on the chair, happily finished eating the batter, then lay excitedly on the broken wooden bed, and began to imagine his future.

When her brother fell asleep completely, Luna carefully took out the cash box, looked at the more than one hundred copper coins inside, and fell into endless sorrow.

One silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins. Although it sounds good in words, their family's savings can only cover one-fifth of the tuition fee at most.

Looking at her younger brother who was still smiling even though he was sleeping soundly, Luna's expression darkened, she clenched her fists, put on an old cloak, and quietly walked out of the house.

 …

In the early morning of the next day, looking at the five hundred copper coins neatly placed in front of him, Kadel hugged Luna excitedly: "Sister, I'm not dreaming, am I, the family can still scrape together so much money?!"

The man's breath rushed towards her face, making Luna feel a little nauseous, she subconsciously covered her neckline with one hand, and pushed her brother away with the other hand.

His sister's abnormal behavior aroused Kadel's concern, and he asked suspiciously, "Sister, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

Luna, who was in a trance, realized it now, and squeezed out a smile in a panic: "I'm fine, today is the last day, take the money and go to the village chief to sign up!"

The thought that he could really go to school made Kadel ignore his sister's abnormality, his heart beat with excitement, and he was a little panicked for a while.

After taking a few deep breaths, he realized that he was still afraid to step out of the house. Kadel grabbed Luna's arm and begged, "Sister, come with me!"

Luna's body froze, and her face became even paler. Looking at her terrified younger brother, a nameless anger ignited in her heart, and she said, "Hmph, I'm useless, and no one will help you outside in the future!"

Kadel laughed a few times, stroked his hair and said coquettishly: "I know, but I'm still at home now, my sister will definitely help me, right?"

Looking at her younger brother who was acting coquettishly, Luna's heart softened again, her nameless anger gradually subsided, and her tone eased: "Hmph, remember, from now on outside, you must be an upright man, but you must never be like So weak now!"

Kadel laughed again, threw himself into Luna's arms and said, "I knew that my sister loved me the most, and I will definitely repay my sister when I learn something in the future!"

A warm current poured into my heart, melting away the grievances accumulated in my heart, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Luna sighed, and led her brother towards the village chief's house.

On the way, the unscrupulous gazes of the men made Luna subconsciously tighten her clothes again, lowering her head and not daring to look at these men.

On the last day, all the families who had finally collected their tuition fees all gathered at the village head's house, so the place seemed a bit crowded.

It was Kadel's turn in the queue, and he quickly placed the 500 copper coins in the package in front of the village chief in an orderly manner.

The old village chief first looked Luna up and down with lustful eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the beauty of last night, and then looked at Kadel meaningfully: "You can be regarded as a good sister!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Kadel to respond, he roughly counted the copper coins, and after confirming that the number was correct, he registered Kadel's name in the notebook.

After completing the registration, Luna, who didn't want to stay any longer, dragged her brother's clothes and hurried home.

Kadel asked with some doubts: "Sister, what happened to you?"

Luna shook her head, with a smile on her pale face: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable. By the way, I heard that the school will come to pick you up in the afternoon. You should pack up quickly!"

Seeing that his sister didn't want to say more, Kadel didn't want to ask more, but said: "Sister, if someone dares to bully you, you must tell me, and I will definitely, definitely avenge you!"

Luna smiled bitterly, shook her head without speaking, and silently helped her brother pack up and salute.

In the afternoon, people from the college arrived on time. After counting the student roster and tuition fees, they let a dozen students board their carriages.

In the halo of the setting sun, Kadel on the carriage smiled and waved, saying goodbye to his sister who came to see him off...
