Chapter 36 Five hundred years is too long, so seize the day
Naked Nabil rushed out of the house in full view of the public. He had something on his mind and walked rampantly.
When Simon saw this guy walking toward him with his head covered, he stepped aside and stretched his legs. Sure enough, there was a bang, and Nabil, whose eyesight was not very good at night, tripped and fell.
"Asshole! Damn it! Why are you so crazy at night!" Nabil got up from the ground with a curse.
"You guys, you don't want to die, don't you?!"
With that said, Nabil slapped Simon.
Simon, who has been trained for a long time, will naturally not be hit by this guy with empty steps.
After a dodge, Nabil's slap was empty, but he became even more angry. He forced Simon to carry out the slap.
Seeing how stubborn this naked guy was, Simon didn't bother to talk nonsense. He raised his leg and kicked Nabil in the abdomen, kicking the guy far away.
After Nabil recovered from the severe pain of being kicked and almost passed out, he discovered that some of the lights in his courtyard were brightly lit, and many places were lit with torches.
Then, with the loud noise of many doors being kicked, the female relatives in their own home woke up from their dreams one by one, screaming, and then crying in fear.
As for himself, several men who were also shirtless gathered around him, looking at him with evil expressions. Many of these shirtless men had whip marks or other scars left after being tortured.
Nabil no longer needs to think about how to kill his brother and monopolize the family property, because now he has no family property to inherit at all.
Even if he himself can survive, it is not certain...
In the past, tax collectors who wiped out families and ruined their families are now experiencing the consequences.
The smell of blood filled the mansion, mixed with the desperate screams and howls of many people.
It's true that Gareth doesn't like killing people, but some things are not just inviting guests to dinner, writing articles, or doing embroidery. They can't be so elegant and leisurely.
Perhaps Gairis himself could easily subdue Ahmed's family, but for Simon and his new recruits, they could only slash with their swords when facing those who were confused and confused about the situation and tried to resist. go.
Because they don't even speak the same language, making it difficult to communicate.
That's the thing. When arresting the village chief and the herbalist's family in Monterey Village, it was possible to do so without bloodshed. However, when facing aliens with whom it was difficult to communicate, the sword became the most powerful tool.
The recruits had no way of judging what the other party wanted to express.
When dawn came the next day, many people still survived.
Even Nabil, the eldest son of the Ahmed family, survived despite being beaten with bruises and bruises and breaking several ribs. After all, the prisoners rescued by Gairis did not have knives in their hands.
And if they just rely on punches and kicks, they haven't had enough to eat these days, and they don't have enough energy to kick people.
One by one, Simon and his men dragged the corpses out of each room and placed them in the courtyard so that those who survived and the prisoners could be identified one by one to record who was dead and who was alive. Isn't it true that there are still people hiding? You must see them alive or dead or their corpses.
Garris, who was on the side, wanted to find someone to talk to.
He sat next to the freed prisoners. Now, these poor people were drinking from the well and gnawing on the yeast-free bread found in the kitchen. "Eat slowly, don't choke, these things are too hard."
Seeing their gobbling behavior, Garris couldn't help but persuade them.
When finally some of them felt that they had eaten enough and stopped chewing on the hard bread.
Garris then asked: "Can you tell me what's going on with you?"
The man who no longer ate bread looked at his savior and his speech was not fluent. It was obvious that he had not been able to speak normally for some days. After stumbling for a long time, Garris did not understand what he wanted to express.
Another man next to him with shining eyes directly took over the topic and made a concise summary: "We couldn't afford the poll tax, so we borrowed money from Ahmed. When the time was up, we couldn't pay back the interest. , he arrested us and asked our family to raise money to redeem us.”
"But it's all nonsense, that guy will sell us into slavery to the Franks!"
This man with dark brown skin had piercing eyes, as if burning with fire. From his eyes, Garris could see resistance and hatred.
"A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim and he should not oppress him or hand him over to his enemies."
"Whoever sells a Muslim man, the money he gets is cursed."
The words spoken by this man come from the "Collection of Hadiths". These hadiths are compiled by jurists of all ages and record the words and deeds of the Holy Prophet. They have a profound influence on Muslim society and are a guide to Muslim behavior and beliefs. .
For many Muslim societies, slaves are a very common existence, but generally speaking, Muslims do not use Muslims as slaves, but mainly rely on capturing or purchasing them from non-Muslims.
Garris once again thought about what he saw last night. It cannot be said that they are separated by a wall. It is only a dozen steps away, and the living situations of the two groups are completely different.
Ahmed's relatives lived around a courtyard with flowers and plants, a well dug, and a pergola set up. They were served by servants during the day and had different kinds of fun at night.
For example, the man in front of me lived with shit and urine in a dungeon and was whipped and tortured.
Even if he has the same beliefs as Ahmed, even if their beliefs have already stipulated that Muslims have brotherhood and should not be slaves to each other.
This was the era that Garris lived in, an era in which all the poor were struggling, regardless of whether they were Christians or Muslims, but their religious beliefs persuaded them to endure.
Christian belief says that God favors the poor and tells the poor that they will go to heaven after their death and that they should endure worldly suffering.
It is also mentioned in Islam that the poor will enter heaven five hundred years earlier than the rich.
Five hundred years?
When he thought of the words mentioned in these scriptures, Garris couldn't help but sneer.
"Why bother staring at the paradise after death? So what if it's five hundred years earlier? I just think five hundred years is too long, so I should seize the day."
"If I told you that I met with Allah a few days ago, and He told me that there would be another flood on the earth and asked me to build another ark, would you trust me?"
A new week has begun, and I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to the coding business. Please give me a monthly pass, please!
