It's as if an ugly wound has been opened, leaving it bloody in front of everyone, and it's like an invisible rope tied to a person's heart.

And Gu Tianya is the one holding the rope.

He tugged hard on the rope and pulled fiercely.

As a result, several Goguryeo people present felt heartache.

After a long time passed, I heard the octogenarian sigh and say, "I want to know why?"

Followed closely by the middle-aged scholar.

Next is the Queen of Goguryeo.

Each of them made a bitter sound, with a strong sense of loneliness, and said: "Why is that so?"

On the contrary, An Yanbing did not speak, and the girl's eyes seemed full of sadness.

Gu Tianya glanced at everyone and said, "Gu has a suggestion. Let's each ask her a question. After everyone has finished asking, we may be able to understand why."

"good!"

The old man was the first to nod.

Then the old man looked at the woman in front of him. He tried to keep his tone calm and asked: "My child, tell me, if your family has land, why are you so poor?"

Unfortunately, at this moment, cries resounded in the room again, and a little girl crawled out, timidly pleading, crying aggrievedly: "Oh Mom, Niuniu is hungry."

The woman's face was pale and she cried loudly. She rushed over and picked up the child, holding her tightly in her arms.

Her expression was obviously desperate.

It was the despair of having a lie exposed.

Just now, in order to be bought by Gu Tianya, she lied and said that her child was only one year old, but when the child crawled out, everyone could tell that it was a girl of about five years old.

And children around five years old mean that they have begun to be sensible.

The woman sat down on the ground with her child in her arms, her eyes showing the numbness of disillusioned hope.

Gu Tianya suddenly took out his money bag, walked over and placed it gently beside her, and said warmly: "Staying here for one night is considered fate. This bag of coins I have is not too much, but it is definitely more than what is needed for a night's stay. I'll give you all the money.

, it can be regarded as a meeting gift for the child."

However, for some unknown reason, the woman did not seem to be surprised. Her eyes were still numb. She sat there holding the child and said blankly: "You can't keep money. You can't keep money. Maybe you can have a meal."

Two meals, but it will be taken away soon. Unless you can buy me, or any Han people buy me. Let me be a Han woman, and let Niu Niu have a Han father, so that I can survive."

Seeing her tense expression, Gu Tianya comforted her: "Don't worry, no one can take this money away. If anyone dares to collect your money, I will ask the army to kill him. I am a Han businessman, and I am a very good person."

A wealthy businessman. As long as I ask the army for help, the army will definitely help me."

"Really?" The woman's tone sounded hopeful.

With a warm smile on his face, Gu Tianya nodded solemnly and said, "Really."

As he spoke, he pushed the money bag gently to the woman's legs, and said in a warm voice: "Take it, this money can be spent for a long time. Think of it as a meeting gift from me to my children, and as your answer to our questions."

reward."

"Answer the question?" the woman murmured, as if she just remembered.

She raised her head and looked at the octogenarian.

However, the octogenarian sighed and shook his head, saying: "No, I won't ask anymore. In fact, I already know the answer to the question I just asked."

Suddenly, the middle-aged scholar also spoke, and said in an extremely lonely tone: "We won't ask anymore, there is no need to ask anymore."

Gu Tianya looked at everyone and said: "You have lost the mood to ask questions, but I want to continue answering for her... First of all, it is Mr. Yu's question."

As he spoke, he stood up slowly, his eyes like sharp swords, and said slowly: "The woman in front of me has absolutely no land in her family. It can even be said that every family in this village has no land. Your land annexation in Goguryeo is too serious.

The common people's land has been seized by wealthy families. This situation has lasted for hundreds of years, and the common people of Goguryeo can no longer be regarded as farmers."

"Those who have no land are slaves."

"If this situation occurs in the Central Plains, it will definitely not last for a hundred years. Just because when the Han people in the Central Plains cannot survive, they will inevitably rise up and overthrow the tyranny. But you Goguryeo people are different. You accept the tyranny of your own country.

"

"It's so sad that the land has been annexed for hundreds of years. The people did not dare to make any resistance, and the entire nation became slaves."

Gu Tianya sneered as he spoke, suddenly looking at the middle-aged scholar, and said: "As for your question, you didn't ask it just now, but Gu guessed based on your character, you just want to ask why this woman wants to

Let the Han people buy her, right?"

The middle-aged scholar looked desolate, nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I wanted to ask just now. At that moment, I felt very sad."

Gu Tianya glanced at him and said with sympathy: "Any wise man from any ethnic group will be sad when he sees his own people trying to sell them to outsiders, so I can understand your mood."

He paused for a moment and then added: "But you and I should understand that she is just an ordinary woman. Between the desire for life and the righteousness of the ethnic group, ordinary people will definitely choose the former."

The middle-aged scholar looked decadent and murmured: "Yes, the desire for life. The so-called ethnic justice is just a joke under the oppression of life... I can starve to death without giving up, but I can't force everyone

This is true for all Goguryeo people, especially since their ancestors have been oppressed for generations."

He glanced at Gu Tianya and suddenly asked solemnly: "If Goguryeo women marry Han people, will their lives be better?"

"Yes!" Gu Tianya said without hesitation, with a solemn tone: "For Han men, a woman is her wife when she marries into the family. Although I cannot guarantee that every Han loves his wife, most Han men understand

No matter how hard it is, they are willing to shoulder the responsibility."

The middle-aged scholar said bitterly, "If a man is willing to take up responsibilities, it is happiness for a woman. But among us Goguryeo people, there are many men who are unwilling to take up responsibilities."
