What is the concept of 20 Ram?

A year ago, at this price, you could buy a slave with poor physical fitness, a food for the family to eat for a month, and a first-class doctor in a city. Even after a year, this price was still a considerable wealth. The money in Cassie Lonagan's arms was not his own, but his small revolutionary team had emptied the family's assets. Even if he wanted to help Soderland, he could not use everyone's money to help a stranger.

Cassie Lonagan thought a lot, but Soderland had no choice. How could he, a serf who ran away, give such a large sum of money? He gave his own answer very simply.

"I bet on my life."

"What about you?"

The man looked at Cassie Lonagan again, and his face blocked by the darkness made people unable to see clearly.

"I...same."

Cassie Lonagan finally hadn't bought himself a ticket to enter Elena. He wanted to see if the matter of gambling life is reliable. If, if he could save these 20 rams, then his small base would have more food for one day and a half.

"very good!"

The man seemed not surprised at all. He stood up straight, lifted the pile of straw, and reached out to invite him.

"Let's go, I'll take you there, but it's not too much to ask for a ram per person to get the road fee?"

"Not too much," Cassie Lonagan nodded, "But we can't give it to you now. When you are sure you can point us a way, we'll give it to you."

"That's that's..."

The man seemed not surprised by Cassie Lonagan's request. He led Cassie Lonagan through the fields, passing the dry trees beside the road, and moving in the night. Along the way, he didn't speak much, occasionally answering questions from Cassie Lonagan and Soderland, avoiding the important and unclear. The two soon realized that the man seemed not to want to chat with them, so he remained silent.

After walking through the fields for a few hours, Cassie Lonagan felt that his toes were about to freeze. The climate in Ankenrien was far colder than that of the Third Republic of Vern. This was the first time in his life that he had experienced such a cold winter. Even if the excitement of Elena was about to approach Elena, he ignored the cold surroundings to a certain extent, and the sustainable cold night trek was still consuming his energy.

"arrive……"

The leader led them to a plain field. After being harvested, the bare land was faintly silver under the moonlight, and in the darkness in the distance, sparks could be seen faintly.

"On the other side is Elena. The patrol here passes by once an hour. Now they have just passed by. Give me the money and my mission is completed."

The lead man stood still in the night and turned around. It was only for the first time that Cassie Lonagan saw the man's appearance clearly. He looked in his forties, his face was vicissitudes, his skeleton was wide but he had no muscles, and he looked like a large clothes rack.

"We're going to run away like that?" Cassie Lonagan suddenly became curious. If the past was that simple, why did he have to pay?

"You can try it." The leader did not show any dissatisfaction with Cassie Lonagan's words. "I haven't told you some things yet. I can only say them if you give money. If you don't give money, you may die."

Cassie Lonagan nodded, took out a stack of change and coins from his pocket, counted, made up 1 Ram, and handed it to the man. Soderland hesitated beside him, stuttered for a few words, but did not speak in the end. However, Cassie Lonagan still saw his thoughts, this man really had no money on him.

He counted again and again, but he couldn't get a Ram. The lead man seemed to be impatient to watch and caught the money.

"That's all, enough, come with me."

After the man said that, he changed direction and began to move forward. Cassie Lonagan and Soderland realized that the place just now was not the real boundary. If they wanted to rush over directly, they would probably lose this opportunity. The two of them held hands and walked in the darkness. After a while, they entered a pit. In this pit, dozens of people had gathered.

"Come? How many?"

Someone asked in the shadow, and the leader replied in a low voice.

"Two, it's enough today."

"It's almost done."

After the two of them asked and answered questions, the lead man turned around and told him.

"When you follow him directly and let you run, you will run forward as quickly as possible. The emperor sets up a dark whistle on the border. We can help you avoid the dark whistle, but there is no way for the dark whistle. If you are lucky, you can rush over without any harm. If you are not lucky, then ask for more blessings..."

After saying that, without waiting for Cassie Lonagan and Soderland to say anything, the man left like that. The person who met him led everyone out of the pit, walked for a short while, and came to another open land.

You bent over and ran over there. Have you seen that dark shadow? That is the boundary marker. Be careful when you run, don’t make too loud noises, and don’t be discovered by secret whistles. They use the same silence, and you can kill your life directly without preheating! You know!"

It was not until this time that the new leader told them the last trick of passing the blockade. The people who wanted to pass the blockade in the dark were silent and watched the man turn and leave. After that, I don’t know who started first. It seemed that it was just a moment, and everyone started running.

Cassie Lonagan was also running, his breathing, and the cold air entered his lungs with his breath, as if he wanted to freeze his whole body. And beside him, there were breathing sounds of varying lengths everywhere, but no one said to live. Everyone regarded silence as the only creed, as if they could get close to their dreams as long as they were silent.

After running for a while, Cassie roughly saw what the leader pointed to him before. It was indeed a square boundary marker, which seemed to have words engraved, but the light was dim and he didn't know what was written on it. However, from the reactions of the people around him, Cassie Lonagan could probably tell that the person who took him 2 Ram did not lie to him.

Running in the night was quiet and rapid. In just a moment, a small half of this small team had passed the boundary marker. People including Cassie Lonagan had arrived on the other side of the boundary marker. Some of them continued to run inside, while others stopped and looked back, as if they wanted to take a last look at the world they had escaped.

The crossbow arrows were shot out from the night at this time. The sounds of those crossbow arrows were inaudible, and only the screams made by the shots declared their existence. In just a moment, the second half of the team was broken by the shooting. The people running and fleeing fell down one after another, but they still struggled forward. Cassie Lonagan and Soderan pulled two people close to the boundary mark, but they could do nothing to those farther away. They could only watch the shots moaned and died in the night.

From afar, the sound of horse hooves and light came, and the cavalry in Elena's gray uniforms held up pyroxene lanterns and appeared on this side of the border. The crossbow arrows shot from the darkness opposite stopped and disappeared. The soldiers came down from the horse and came to Cassie Lonagans and said words that made everyone excited.

"My fellow villagers, thank you for your hard work, welcome to Elena. From today on, you will be a member of the revolutionary base, just like each of us!"

The people in the dark cheered lowly, and the darkness opposite had no response. Cassie Lonagan and these people were taken to a small gathering place not far from the border, where they saw more escaped serfs. They sat around several balls of pyroxene warm stoves, and many of them were holding a large tea tank with half full of porridge. Cassie Lonagan and Soderland followed the soldier who brought them over to find a place to sit down, and listened to the soldier telling Elena's rules.

"It's a great fortune for you to come from there. We are still busy with the construction of the base area and don't have time to take care of the guys on the other side. But don't worry, when the time comes, we will naturally liberate Quan'an Kenriyin's serf brothers and workers."

Cassie sat on the ground and hugged her body tightly. The running and trekking that had just been suddenly relaxed, brought him a great feeling of fatigue. He felt that if it weren't for the cold weather, he might have fallen to the ground and fell asleep.

"...I know many of you have heard that Elena has no serfs, and everyone is equal. However, it is not as free as you think. We will provide you with work based on your abilities and your own interests. If you don't like the job we allocate, you can choose to be a farmer. Of course, you can also choose to join the army, but then you have to wait until the assessment period is over. Moreover, when the base area is insufficient, the organization may assign you to do something, you can't refuse, do you understand?"

"Mr. Bing, just have four acres of land, nothing else is wrong!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, his voice roaring. His words caused a burst of laughter. The soldier waited for everyone to finish laughing and continued.

"My name is Mark Esimmon, a soldier of the First Reclamation Legion of Enspan Province. You can call me comrade, or just call me Mark. Just don't call Mr. Bing, that's a symbol of class exploitation, and we won't promote this here."

"Then do we have land?"

Someone asked in the crowd again, obviously everyone was very concerned about this question. Mark smiled and gave a clear answer.

"If you want to be a new farmer, you will have land, not only land, but also houses. But you have to build a house yourself, and you will live in it yourself after you have built it."

"We know!"

Many people answered at the same time. Elena's land and housing policies had long been spread. Those who escaped had inquired about it, so they were naturally familiar with it. Cassie Lonagan also knew something. He looked at the young face of the soldier and somehow remembered his revolutionary companion.

When will my team have the ability and courage of Ailena?

"It's good to know. Everyone should rest early today. We will take you to open the land tomorrow. If there is no problem, we will register and issue a resident certificate. You are the ones we love Lena!"

The crowd made a loud cheer. Mark Esimmon told everyone where to get porridge and where there was a tent to sleep, and disappeared into the darkness. The people who fled here were already tired and sleepy at this time. Many people touched the tent and fell asleep. Cassie Lonagan wanted to see how Elena divided the porridge, so he took Sortland to the porridge shop, and indeed received a large teapot and half a jar of porridge. The porridge was very simple, boiled from rye and water, light and tasteless. However, Cassie Lonagan and Sortland were very hungry and almost eliminated the food without even having to taste the taste. Afterwards, they closed their eyes in the tent in the night and fell asleep.

——————————

The next day, more than a hundred people who escaped followed Marco's team and walked into Enspan Province. They walked for a short time and came to a piece of abandoned land, got farm tools and started to plow. Because it was early winter, the land was frozen and hard, and it was not easy to plow. However, Cassie Lonagan still had his own things to do, so he naturally would not give up because of this small setback. He worked hard for a long time, grinding his hands and barely completing half of the task. And his companions were not much better than him.

"Mr. Ai Ximon", a farmer suggested, "It's useless to plow this land, it's frozen at night. This is a waste of workmanship!"

"Call me Aishimun, or comrade," Mark nodded, took out a small notebook from his arms and recorded it, "It's true. I've reported it before, and there should be a new way to come down recently. Thank you for your hard work. We have prepared broth and beans for dinner. Everyone has a good meal, and we'll talk about something else."

When they heard that there was food to eat, the people who had been tired for a day were obviously happy. Everyone followed Mark Esimmon to the cafeteria, lined up to get food, found a place to sit down, and started eating. It was not until this time that these people began to try to chat with the people around them, introduce themselves, and meet others. For a moment, the entire cafeteria became a little noisy.

Cassie Lonagan took this opportunity to squeeze into Mark Essimmon's side.

"Comrade Marco, I have something to bother you..."

"You said," Mark was eating. Cassie glanced at his food, and it was the same as them, and the portion was the same.
