Sanru walked quickly towards the village. Along the way, Feng Bujue was asking Hank about the situation in Shenyou Village, while Kuangzong Jianying listened silently.

Hank was not a tour guide, so he could not introduce the village's customs and customs in an organized manner, but Feng Bujue was very skillful in asking questions, and he skillfully guided Hank to tell some useful information in more detail.

The residential area of ​​Shenyou Village is roughly divided into four areas. The outermost area near the exit is the first area, which is a slum area. Hank's home is here. His only breadwinner is his mother, who is over 50 years old. She works in the laundry room ten hours a day, with only one day off a week, and her pay is pitiful.

Hank earned a little more from his work in the scavenger team, but every time he went out, he might never come back. His father and several brothers were all scavengers, and they all ended up dead.

The job of the scavenger team is to search for useful materials in the dangerous environment of 1 Day Earth. Exploring ancient ruins is not a common task. What they do most on a daily basis is to collect and transport back the natural resources that grow outside Shenyou Village, mainly ores, plants, and pollution = the degree is within the manageable range. water source.

With inventions like the [anti-gravity catapult], this work does not require a lot of effort. The scavengers pack the things, "lift" them up, and walk back to the warehouse of the shark cabin to put them down.

This may not seem like hard work, but in fact the risk factor is very high. On today's Earth, even in deserts with constant black storms, there are a few ferocious animals. In jungles, swamps, and coastal areas, mutated creatures are rampant. For humans, the environment and creatures are fatal threats. .

Most of the people living in the outer areas are families like Hank. The villagers here only receive education for three years. In the first two years, they learn basic mathematics and literacy, and in the third year they learn some work-related knowledge. Starting from the age of ten, they must learn to survive by their own labor, and spend their entire lives doing single and heavy physical labor, or some dangerous work. But as long as they obey the rules and complete their work properly, there will be no problem in having enough to eat.

After passing through the first area, the second area is the largest farming area with a medium entrance.

The styles of roads and houses here have changed compared to the outer areas. The main crops in the fields look like corn, but the leaves are not green, but corrugated golden; there are also some tubers growing in the soil, exposed. The leaves on the outside are coffee-colored, and you can smell the aroma from a distance. Feng Bujue asked Hank what these were, and the other man's answer was "rice and sweet fruits", which are the staple foods on the villagers' tables. These two crops should have been created and named by the previous villagers of Shenyou Village. Anyway, there were no similar things on earth before.

People living in the farming area live a slightly better life than the first area, the living environment is more comfortable, and the colors of their clothes are also different. Each family has a field they are responsible for cultivating, and its crop yields are strictly monitored. All the crops must be handed over to the village, and not a single grain of rice can be retained by the family. Household income is based on the amount of grain turned in.

Relatively speaking, their lives do not involve too many risks, and the ratio of work to rest is not unreasonable. Moreover, residents in farming areas have the opportunity to receive further education. If they have more than two children at home, they can Choose one of the children who is relatively good at learning to continue studying and receive "higher education". If they succeed in their studies, they will have the opportunity to enter the third area.

The third area belongs to technical recruits, and the number of these recruits is very small. The entrance to this area is basically maintained at around 300. The top ones among them are the promoters of "open" technology in Shenyou Village. The less advanced ones can also serve as engineers or managers. Those who are old or have lost the ability to work are responsible for teaching students.

The residents in this area are mainly intellectual workers, with considerable income and stable life. One living space is equivalent to the area of ​​a family in the outer area. Their clothes are white in color, and their social status is also high. They are ranked fourth. This area is where the "priests", or nobles, live. Their residence can be described as luxurious to the surrounding villagers, but in Shenyou Village, even if it is a sacrificial family, the dress must be uniform, and this is not negotiable. The only people in the village who can dress freely are those named Kouben. They all know their appearance, and their portraits can be seen everywhere. Children have to learn the heroic deeds of the Kouben family members from an early age, and Learn a few songs to praise them.

The priests basically spend nothing, and their lives are already very comfortable. Their dining tables are often filled with ingredients that scavengers have sacrificed their lives for, which ordinary villagers will never be able to enjoy in their lifetimes; the tap water they use is directly drinkable, while the water used by surrounding villagers is It is "filtered" from polluted water brought back from outside the village.

The duty of the priests is to protect the "Son of God" and the rule of the Kouben family. Their children, regardless of whether they were born prematurely or not, can and have the obligation to receive the most complete education and learn as much knowledge as possible. The smarter ones among them can share some secrets that only the Kouben family knows.

The heads and management of all departments in Shenyou Village are all held by priests or their family members, and this has been the case for generations. In some departments, even if a guy knows nothing about professional knowledge, he can still sit in the top position. Anyway, just find someone from the third area to be his deputy. Moreover, the deputy who serves as the deputy has to ask the layman chief for instructions before doing anything. If he makes his own decisions, the crime will be very serious.

Passing through these four areas is the deepest part of the village, the temple.

There are patrols on the streets in the first three areas. Although there are fewer residents in the third area, the patrols are stronger. In the fourth area, ordinary villagers are not allowed to enter. Except for those wearing sacrificial clothes and holding passes, the entry procedures are very troublesome.

The fourth area and outside the temple are no longer in charge of patrols. There are special guards there, all of whom have been strictly screened and screened. Guys like Hank who were born in the outer areas will definitely not be selected. At least they must be from the second and third areas to be eligible to join the ranks of the guards... the sacred mission of guarding the priests and the Son of God. , how can we be cautious?

"The third area is ahead." When he came to the junction of the second area and the third area, Hank said: "Just go here. There are many patrolmen in the third area. If you are asked... "

"Keep walking." Feng Bujue said decisively. Along the way, they were questioned by several groups of patrolmen, and Feng Bujue also used the same reason to fool them, but Hank always looked worried.

"Hey! Hank, is that you?" Suddenly, a female voice came and called Hank.
