C746 The Pig in His Eyes



C746 The Pig in His Eyes

3Between nobles and civilians.    

    

There was a chasm.    

    

An insurmountable chasm.    

    

There would always be people who felt that since everyone lived in the same world and lived in the same city, they would always meet. There would always be times when nobles and civilians lived in the same place.    

    

And between them, there would not be any dangerous things that would happen immediately. There was no way to talk about the chasm.    

    

In fact, even if nobles and civilians lived in the same city, they would almost never meet.    

    

The understanding of nobles towards commoners usually came from serving their servants.    

    

And the understanding of commoners towards nobles was often just some wind and moon stories or news.    

    

When the rich set out, there would always be a carriage. A carriage curtain separated the two different worlds.    

    

Even if they were walking on the road.    

    

The rich person would be accompanied by servants to guard the courtyard. Overall, there would be an invisible aura that gave people the feeling that they were free from getting close. From there, there would be an invisible barrier in the crowd.    

    

If a young master from a rich family was walking alone in a busy city, then either the young master had extraordinary skills, or he was protected by a powerful expert from the pugilistic world, or he had lost his mind.    

    

In every world and era, there were no lack of bandits. People who were willing to take risks with their swords drawn.    

    

In this era where information was scarce and criminals were extremely difficult to catch, and many people were starving to death due to the lack of food, there would be even more of these bandits.    

    

If a rich person was alone, he or she would definitely be robbed or killed. Especially when a random jade pendant on his or her body could change the fate of his or her life.    

    

Rich people knew too well how to protect themselves.    

    

This was what they had been doing since primary school.    

    

Then perhaps some people feel that as long as they are dressed in simple clothes and dressed like ordinary people, they can walk on the streets alone?    

    

Of course not!    

    

Thieves had their own paths, and thieves had their own doors.    

    

With a piece of jewelry on his body, the thief could tell that he was wearing real gold and silver or scrap metal with just a glance from more than 30 meters away.    

    

That was what they specialized in, and that was what they trained in.    

    

With a quick glance, one could tell that a person's money was tied to his waist, or was hung on his sleeves, or was hidden in his arms.    

    

That was their way of making a living.    

    

And the rich wanted to hide themselves?    

    

That would be too much of a hassle. It wouldn't be as simple as he had imagined.    

    

To see if a person was rich or not, especially in this world, that would truly be a simple death.    

    

Red lips, white teeth, needless to say, red lips and luster, that was proof of nutritional quality. The teeth were white. That was when salt was used to brush them. When most people did not have enough salt, there was still salt to brush their teeth. This was proof of wealth.    

    

It was very difficult to have meat on their cheeks. Ordinary people had to work from a very young age until they grew up under the weather and were not full. The key was that their food was simple and malnourished, and they were all extremely dried up.    

    

Why were the people in this world considered old ladies if they did not marry at the age of twenty? That was because even under Xiao Yun's aesthetic standards, the women in this world who were twenty years old... They were the same as the women in their previous lives. Their faces were full of wrinkles that had been left behind by the passage of time. Their teeth were black, which showed that they were really old.    

    

Therefore, those who had flesh on their cheeks and looked round and shiny were rich people. At least, they were rich people. They could be seen from afar.    

    

There were also those who had fair skin.    

    

This was even more important.    

    

Most of the people in this world couldn't turn white.    

    

Under the sun and the wind, they worked under the sun. Each of their skin was like dry tree bark, and when they touched it, they would creak. How could they turn white?    

    

If they wanted to be white, they had to be healthy and not work or be exposed to the sun.    

    

There were even some gifted ones who could not withstand the erosion of the wind and the sun.    

    

Of course, people like Leng Yueling were an exception.    

    

There were many other aspects.    

    

For example, whether her hair was dry or not, whether it was elegant or not, what was the speed of the light, whether it was split and dried up...    

    

People from wealthy families, after years of nourishment, could not dress themselves up as poor people just by casually dressing up.    

    

Even ordinary people could recognize them from the crowd at a glance!    

    

It was also because of this, just their appearance alone was enough to distinguish between high and low.    

    

As for the nobles, they had to be on guard against ordinary people at all times, because any ordinary person who got close to them might have come prepared.    

    

Not much, even if there was one in ten thousand, they would not be able to take it.    

    

Because people's lives, that was something that happened once.    

    

A single mistake could make them lose their lives.    

    

And what about the poor people?    

    

It was even more tragic.    

    

A slight carelessness, or even a daily sentence, or even a casual action, could possibly offend those important people.    

    

And once they did, the other party would only need to say a single word to take their lives!    

    

Of course, it would be better to stay far away from them.    

    

Let's talk about daily life.    

    

When the rich went to the shops, the poor people did not even look at them because they did not even need to look. If they went in to spend money, it would cost them a few years of living expenses.    

    

From time to time, rich people wanted to go to the shops that poor people often went to, but they would have to directly come to a closed shop street.    

    

To put it bluntly, although they lived in the same city, most of them would not look at each other for the rest of their lives.    

    

Especially in a place like the North Wei.    

    

There was a rule here.    

    

A benefactor was a benefactor.    

    

When the people saw a benefactor from afar, they needed to stand on the side of the street. They could not stop the other party from going out. After that, they had to lower their heads. They could not look, nor could they make any sounds. Even if he wanted to fart, he had to hold it in, because once this fart disturbed the benefactor... He was afraid that it would bring about a fatal disaster!    

    

As the saying went, the fairness of the Imperial Court, when a high official confronted a king or even quarreled with him, that was normal in the North Wei. However, that was only a rule among the nobles and had nothing to do with the common people.    

    

After all, in the eyes of those who were worried about the country and the people, the people... were not people.    

    

They were all animals.    

    

The maggots that were wriggling in the world were disgusting.    

    

This was reality, a reality that no one could erase.    

    

Some people had used all kinds of methods to prevent the civilians from knowing about this matter. They had used up all their brain cells, but they could not resist the fact that those influential people would always do something very dangerous.    

    

For example... In their opinion, even if they stepped on an ant to death, they would not feel that they had done anything wrong.    

    

Even if it was exposed, the only thing that they felt troublesome was the blame from the higher-ups. It was like a child stepping on an ant's nest, and then the parents walked over. It was not right to say that he was not doing well. Teach him a lesson. Then... it was left unsettled.    

    

At most, he would just give some compensation.    

    

And this compensation would usually solve the problem.    

    

As long as he gave a small amount of money, the other party would leave gratefully.    

    

That was it.    

    

It was a form of contempt that came from the bottom of his heart.    

    

One. A person who could eat his own child when a calamity appeared could also be called a person?    

    

Those nobles simply did not know the pain of hunger, nor did they know that a person would transform into a devil when they were hungry.    

    

Fairy Yuluo was clear about this point.    

    

She had lived in the North Wei for a period of time.    

    

She could clearly sense the irreconcilable conflict between nobles and ordinary citizens.    

    

She could also tell the insuperable barrier between them.    

    

Every noble and powerful person in the North Wei had a long history. Most of them had existed since the establishment of the North Wei a thousand years ago. There were also some people who had made contributions during the chaos.    

    

Apart from that, if the commoners wanted to climb to that position... it could not be said that they were as rare as phoenix feathers and phoenix horns. It could be said that there were simply no such people!    

    

This was the reality.    

    

Those families with long histories would definitely not allow those pigs to climb up to a position on equal footing with them.    

    

For this reason, they could even kill some outstanding figures before his wings were fully grown!    

    

After all, when people saw an ant raise a knife and a spear, and when they saw the pigs say the strategy to govern the country, they felt nothing but disgust and fear.    

    

And this mentality was deeply rooted in the aristocrats of the North Wei.    

    

And it was precisely because of this that the old woman had such a huge conflict with Tuoba Tian'er. Because of her dress, she would treat the civilians well. If it was not bandits, bandits, or people from the Jianghu, they would definitely not be aristocrats!    

    

Similarly, Fairy Yuluo did not understand why Tuoba Tian'er would have this kind of attitude towards ordinary people and would even take the initiative to help her.    

    

After all, Fairy Yuluo knew that their destination was not the south of the city but the building that ordinary people could not get close to in the middle of Sishui City.
