The biography of Hu Liena of Douluo

Hu Liena walked to the water basin and squatted down, looked at it, and touched it. No matter how you look or feel, this is just an ordinary iron basin. It is about a foot and a half in diameter, about six inches deep, and about a minute thick.

I dipped the tip of a handkerchief into a little of the liquid in the basin, brought it closer and smelled it, but found nothing special. It just felt like ordinary water. But what is the purpose of putting such a basin of water here? It is not used for bathing, washing face, soaking feet or washing the floor. There are special facilities in the room.

Hu Liena was puzzled. This iron basin seemed to be a spare basin hanging on the wall. The main facilities were not damaged, so there must be a reason why he removed the spare basin. Even if you really want to use it, the basin should not be filled with clean water and left at the door.

Lift the iron basin with a little force, lean over and look up from the bottom. Sure enough, an envelope was stuck under the iron basin, looking a little damp.

Using a stone platform to cushion one side, Hu Liena tore off the envelope. Opening the unsigned envelope, a piece of paper was revealed. When I opened it, I saw the opening sentence: "To prevent leakage of secrets, they will be burned after reading."

The content of the letter roughly stated that the organization suspected that Deng Er might have had a different intention, and asked the two of them to cooperate with Deng Er's actions and pay attention to whether he had any abnormal behavior. If any abnormality is found, a letter of explanation will be sent to Datong Yaxing and Wang Yazi in the western suburbs of the city.

The whole letter was written very casually, with no title or signature. It was more like a memo than a letter.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Hu Liena staying in the bathroom and not coming out, Bibi Dong came over and asked.

"A letter, found under the basin." Hu Liena handed the letter in her hand to Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong frowned and took it.

After a while, Bibi Dong handed the letter in his hand to Shopkeeper Zhu who was following him. "Lao Zhu, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Zhu took the letter, first read the contents of the letter carefully, then raised the letter paper and looked at the light to confirm that it was just an ordinary letter. I also asked for the torn envelope from Hu Liena, and tinkered with it for a while.

"This should be just an ordinary letter given to him by others. The letter said to be destroyed after reading, but he did not do so. Maybe he did not fully trust the so-called organization. He wanted to keep this letter. The letter will be used as a surrender in the future, that Deng Er’s certificate of surrender.

As for why he didn't hand the letter to Deng Er immediately, it was probably because he wanted to wait for a price or he didn't trust Deng Er and wanted to make a double plan. He was afraid that Deng Er would find it with him, so he hid it in a place that was conspicuous to him but hidden from others. "

After listening to Shopkeeper Zhu's words, Hu Liena couldn't help but wonder if he had any soul skills similar to "telepathy with others". Decided to take a peek at him when I had free time.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, do you know Deng Er and Wang Yazi?" Hu Liena asked the "all-knowing and omnipotent" shopkeeper Zhu.

"I don't know him." He never thought about Shopkeeper Zhu, but he denied it simply. "But I have heard of Datong Dental Store. This is a new dental store that was established just two months ago, but they only accept people and don't sell them. Most of them are slaves who have been sold, and most of them are sold. Some soul beast cubs"

"Slave" Bibi Dong interrupted Shopkeeper Zhu, "How come there are still slaves? Ten years ago, at the suggestion of Wuhun Palace, didn't the two empires jointly issue a declaration to abolish the slavery system?" Hu Liena could tell, Bibi Dong is very angry now.

"Palace Master, you don't know something. Although the slavery system has been officially abolished, some big families and big sects are still doing it secretly. After all, the empire's supervision cannot enter their sects. And this This is a big piece of cake in their hands, how could they throw it away casually?"

"But people are now smarter and no longer call them slaves, but contract workers. Some people who cannot afford to repay the money they owe them for various reasons will sign a contract with them based on their friendly suggestions. An agreement to voluntarily sell oneself to repay debts.

Those who sign the agreement will work in the positions assigned to them during the agreement period, and the salary earned will be used to repay the debt until it is paid off. Datong Yaxing is such an intermediary agency that specializes in arranging work. Although the people they take in are not officially called slaves, they have just changed their names. "

"Digging soul crystals, preparing basic materials for soul guides, being a new pharmaceutical experimenter, etc., these dirty, tiring, dangerous jobs, the pay is pitiful, and the death will be in vain. If it weren't for that ghost agreement , Only a fool would do it." Shopkeeper Zhu lit a cigarette for himself and took a long puff.

Hu Liena was shocked. She had always lived in the light. She had never thought that under the surface of the mainland, there was such a dirty side.

Doesn't this mean that many modern achievements in the soul crystals, soul guides, and potions they often use are stained with the blood of such low-level "contract workers". She lowered her head and looked at the necklace hanging around her neck. She subconsciously hit it. Chills.

Bibi Dong's face was ashen, and her knuckles clenched into fists turned white. The moment he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of Hu Liena, looking at the necklace he gave her in a daze. Bibi Dong gently put his hand on her shoulder.

"That necklace is clean. It was a birthday gift from a person. The materials for making it were collected by him personally. I was also present when it was made. Now that the person is gone, I am afraid of disturbing the scene while carrying it. It hurts; it’s a pity to put it away and not use it. That’s why I gave it to you.”

After listening to Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena gradually calmed down. She overreacted just now, associating all modern achievements with the blood and sweat of "slaves". In fact, there are still many objects that have little to do with the miserable situation of those people.

And even if there is a sense of guilt, it should be those who directly drank their blood. Buyers like them, who didn't even know about it before, don't need to be so impatient that they stop eating because of choking. What should be used must be used.

"Now go to Datong Yaxian and ask for Wang Yazi?" Bibi Dong looked at Shopkeeper Zhu and asked for his advice.

"I'm afraid it won't work now. The people in Datong only operate in Dicheng on the seventh, fifteenth, twenty-second and thirty-nine o'clock of the lunar month. They don't open the door at other times.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Even if I go there, I will probably only meet a few gatekeepers. Not only is it difficult to find the rightful owner, but it is also easy to alert others. "Shopkeeper Zhu counted the days silently and replied cautiously.

"Okay then, please make some arrangements for us. It's a hot season recently, just one room is enough." As he said that, Bibi Dong took out a few gold soul coins and handed them to Shopkeeper Zhu.

Shopkeeper Zhu quickly declined, saying that if Bibi Dong wanted to live there, the house manager would be enough and he would not charge any money. Finally, under Bibi Dong's insistence, shopkeeper Zhu accepted a gold coin and arranged a high-end guest room for Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.

Although I didn't accomplish anything serious today, I was still very tired after running back and forth several times. After closing the door and temporarily leaving Hu Liena in the living room, Bibi Dong went into the bathroom alone and took a hot shower.
