Chapter 314 Abandoned Baby Canyon

Su ye followed the prestige curiously, and saw a crowded market in front of him. A group of muscular men only wore shorts that covered their lower body, singing and walking slowly.

Different from the miserable expressions of those Xiluo people, some of these men were smiling and indifferent, some were silent, and some were extremely calm. Only a few of them looked ashamed and bowed their heads.

Several of them were exceptionally strong and had a strong aura, as if they were in high positions.

It made Su ye feel that even the silver warriors in the arena were far beyond his reach.

"Poor guy..." Segus gloated.

"Who are they?"

"Bachelors who are over 25 years old and not married, in our Spartan law, they are determined not to marry and commit crimes that destroy the country. After all, we Spartans are too small. If we do not force marriage and have children, the number of There will be fewer and fewer, and they will inevitably be replaced by other city-states. So every time a certain period of time, these bachelors are pulled out and paraded in the streets. You can see that most of them don’t care, and they are used to it.”

"Is their singing part of the punishment?" Suye asked.

"Haha, yes. Pedestrians on the road are laughing at them, it's so pitiful." Segus said.

"I didn't expect that Sparta was so unfriendly to single dogs. It's too miserable." Suye's tone was full of sincere sympathy.

"Single dog? This word is good, haha."

Segus smiled and shouted at the bachelor who was being punished outside: "Single dog, get married quickly, and you won't be punished if you get married. Single dog!"

People nearby laughed.

Some children also shouted: "Single dog! Single dog..."

The singles in the parade gave Segus an angry look.

Segus sat back in the carriage again and said, "I will definitely not be like them. I will definitely be able to get married before the age of 25."

"It's good to have dreams." Su ye half-jokingly said.

"We in Sparta have a system of snatching marriages. As long as I discuss it with the girl I like, and find a good time, I will get married with my brothers. Therefore, I am not afraid of being single at all." Segus said.

"The question is, do any girls like you?" Suye asked.

Segus froze for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "I've been in the arena for the past few years, and I really don't know any girls. I used to think that after I became a powerful gladiator, there would be girls who would show their love to me, but it turned out not at all. No. The most irritating thing is that last night I saw a girl profess love to Di Aotian and Wang Dachui on the graffiti wall outside the arena."

"So, you are also single." Su ye said.

Segus muttered to himself: "It seems that I did not make a mistake."

The carriage continued on, out of the city, and arrived at the abandoned canyon outside Sparta.

Su ye got off the carriage, frowning and nose slightly wrinkled

A faint stench wafts through the air.

"This is the smell of Abandoned Canyon, alas..." Segus sighed softly.

"Let's go in."

The two walked forward slowly.

The light gray mountain peak is like a huge door frame, leaving an intersection in the middle for more than ten carriages to run parallel.

At the entrance of the canyon, a group of Spartan soldiers in black leather armor walked around.

They looked at Su ye and Segus and continued to patrol.

The two entered the canyon and walked for more than ten minutes, and the front suddenly opened up.

The green grass is spread out, and rows of old brown wooden houses are scattered among them. The roofs and walls of the wooden houses are rotten and black, as if they have been soaked by rainwater.

In the distance, there are some small undulating mounds, and further away, the mounds are weathered, revealing a little pale.

Su ye looked away, and the two of them walked forward and looked at the nearby houses.

The sound of the baby crying one after another.

Some people were walking around, mostly women.

There are women with their backs to people, breastfeeding babies.

A woman was crying while gently coaxing the child in her arms.

Someone is feeding the baby rice soup bit by bit.

There are also women who clean out dilapidated wooden houses and make babies lie down.

A girl in black came out of a room,

Sighing slightly, he turned his head to look at the mouth of the canyon.

The girl was petite, with black hair hanging down, covering most of her face with bangs.

Where the hair wasn't covered, a dark red birthmark and a few dark moles were exposed.

The scope of the birthmark is huge, and it seems to cover most of the face.

However, the girl's eyes were light pink.

Like a pink diamond.

Her eyes seem to have astonishing magic power, which makes people unforgettable after just one look.

Su ye looked at the girl, and the girl also looked over.

The two looked at each other.

Su ye stopped in his tracks and nodded slightly in greeting. The girl blinked and seemed to be smiling, but she nodded slightly as if she hadn't expressed anything, and walked towards another house.

Segus sighed softly, and said: "Although the law throws weak babies into the canyon, family love does not abandon them. Many mothers will come here to breastfeed their babies, but the frequency will gradually decrease. Don't give up. There are also some kind people who take care of the children when they have time."

"Doesn't the city-state ban them?" Suye asked.

"The city-state's laws do not stipulate that babies cannot be rescued. They even stipulate that if the baby can live to three years old, the Spartans can adopt it. A few parents will feed their children until they are three years old, and finally apply to the city-state for adoption. In fact, I I know quite a few such abandoned fighters."

"I see." Su ye said.

"Are you here for a donation? There is a donation box." Segus pointed to a wooden box.

"Donation doesn't have much effect on these babies. After coming here, everything is similar to what I guessed. Abandoned Canyon doesn't need any donations, but long-term feeding." Su Ye said.

"Then you mean..." Segus looked at Su ye in disbelief.

"I have established a charity association in Athens, and I plan to establish one in Sparta." After finishing speaking, Su ye looked up at the sky.

The sky was blue and cloudless, but the whole canyon was gloomy.

"It will cost a lot of money," Segus said.

Su Ye smiled and said, "I've calculated that less than 10,000 Golden Eagles will be used a year."

"A golden warrior can't earn 10,000 golden eagles a year. The income of the gladiator king Komodes is the highest among all gladiators. Even so, it seems that he can't earn 20,000 golden eagles a year just because of his status as a gladiator king." .Of course, he has other shops and properties, and his total income is more than 20,000. Moreover, if he raises a baby, he really needs less than 10,000 Golden Eagles a year, maybe not even 1,000." Segus doubted Looking at Su ye.

"It's just that it may not cost much to raise babies. When they grow up, it will cost more." Suye said.

"Ah? Are you serious? Don't worry, there are some people who try to cultivate abandoned fighters, but... the success rate of abandoned fighters is not high, and they will basically lose money. If you establish a private mercenary group, it will be a waste of money." I won't lose too much." Segus said.

"I didn't save these babies to make money," Su ye said.

"What is that for?"

Suye thought for a while, and said: "There are many reasons. Part of it is due to the most basic kindness of human beings. I can watch adults step into the underworld, but I don't like to let children who have no choice to go on a road to death. Since I was a child, I hope that when I have the ability, I can help people in need. What's more, don't you think it is a very valuable thing if you can save so many people with only some money? No Price is value."

Segus hesitated and said: "What you said is very reasonable, but I still feel that something is wrong. Using one's own money to save others is not necessarily a good thing."

"It would be pedantic to help people if I wasn't rich. At worst, it might be stupid. However, I have a lot of spare money in my hand, which comes from the whole world, so I will give back some of the money to people in need in this world , Isn’t it a good thing? Thousands of golden eagles every year are just a golden magic weapon to me, and it’s very worthwhile to exchange so many lives with a golden magic weapon.” Su Ye said.

"You are such a kind person." Segus said sincerely.

"What's more, everyone can gain spiritual and spiritual gains from doing good deeds. What I get from myself far exceeds what I gave. So, I don't quite understand why the Spartans didn't feed these babies." Su Ye said.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. Common people can't afford it, and no one can go back and forth so far every day. Rich people and nobles can afford it, but they can't do it. Because in the eyes of the Spartans, taking these babies Throwing it here is the double will of the law and the gods. If a nobleman keeps feeding these babies, is it considered to be against the gods? Will he be hostile by other nobles?" Segus said.

"I see. However, I believe that any god with justice in his heart would not allow this to happen." Su Ye said.

In the wooden house, the girl with pink diamond eyes took a serious look at Suye, and then continued to help the crying baby.

Segus looked shocked, and hastily stretched out his hand to block Su ye, and said in a low voice: "My idol, don't say that, it will scare people to death. A few years ago, I saw a man who was drunk , scolding the gods in public, but thunder fell from the sky and struck him to death."

"I didn't name the gods, so nothing will happen." Su ye smiled.

"If you really want to feed them, you first need to find a large number of wet nurses. This is not an easy task. After all, babies cannot drink goat's milk, and it is difficult to survive on rice soup." Segus said.

"This is the thinking of your warriors. I am a magician, so when I thought of these babies, I immediately thought about how to use magic to solve them. I flipped through the book casually, and asked the teacher, and I knew that there was a magic potion Put it into goat's milk or cow's milk, add water to dilute it, and the baby can drink it directly, and the effect is no less than that of breast milk. Now I only need to buy that potion, and I can feed all the babies here. You see, things are not as difficult as imagined "Suye said.

"Really? I don't know magic, so don't lie to me." Segus asked doubtfully.

"It is true, and the price is not high. I will go to the people of the Plato Chamber of Commerce in Sparta today and ask them to prepare the potion directly." Su Ye said.

Segus said with a smile: "That would be great. I will come here to help when I have time in the future. But... what if you are not in Sparta?"

"Julis will do everything well," Su ye said.
