Chapter 184: Re-entering the Illusion
"We're here, crossed? Straight back to the village from the villa? But I don't remember when it was night? Why is there a sun? Zhou Qi said with some surprise beside me. When I saw the scenery around me, I almost knew where I was in.
Except that the ground under his feet is real, everything around him is fake, and here, again, is an illusion, created by the four resentful spirits and their Mei Chao's auxiliary means.
Just as I was thinking about how to break through this illusion in other ways, someone from the village came over. At the moment, there is no red brick pavilion at the head of the village, just a simple dirt road.
A middle-aged man in a small coat, a bowler hat, and pigtails on his head walked over. Although the person has reached middle age, this person looks very haggard, and his cheekbones are high and protruding, showing some malnutrition.
"I'll go, isn't this the dress of the Republic of China? What the hell is wrong with this world? Zhou Qi was still beside me and asked like a headless fly.
"We're in a fantasy world, everything around us is fake, don't worry, don't act rashly, take your time and see what happens next." I said calmly.
Zhou Qi also stopped asking endless questions and looked at the malnourished middle-aged man with me.
The middle-aged man didn't go for a long time, and another lean man in a green cloth shirt walked over, although the man was thin, he was full of energy and very active. At this moment, this man walked to the middle-aged man with some flattery, and supported the middle-aged man: "Master Mei, can this year's tax be less?" ”
The middle-aged man looked back at the man suspiciously and said, "It's still less, it's still less than what I eat, I've already given you the least amount of taxes." Although the middle-aged man refused, he was not angry, but looked at the man with a smile.
The man said with a shy face: "Master Mei, it's really not my second laizi who is cheating, my mother just gave birth to my second child this morning, and there is an extra mouth in the family, so the noodles may not be enough to eat..."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, don't pay taxes this year, and talk about it when the harvest is good next year." ”
The man said happily: "Thank you, Master Mei, I'll tell my sisters the news." With that, the man left Master Mei and ran away quickly.
Master Mei watched the man leave with tears and laughter, and he slowly left.
Master Mei is getting closer and closer to me, and I can also see Master Mei's appearance clearly, when I see Master Mei's appearance, I feel that this face is very familiar, even Zhou Qi next to me thinks so.
"This long face is very similar to Mei's super long." Zhou Qi muttered next to me.
Listening to Zhou Qi's reminder, I was looking carefully, isn't it, at least eight images with Mei Chao.
Master Mei walked and walked, passed a ditch bridge, and came to the rice field in front of him. There were many busy men harvesting wheat in the rice fields, and the women followed the men to gather the wheat together, bundle it up and then move on to clean up another pile.
In front of the rice field, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, the young man followed behind the working man, talking and laughing with the women, and when the young man saw Master Mei coming here, he hurriedly ran over.
"Dad, you're here." The young man looked at Master Mei with an innocent smile.
Master Mei also looked at the young man dotingly, and said, "How is it, are you tired of working behind?" ”
"I'm not tired, they won't let me work." The boy said proudly.
"That's right, you can watch them work behind me like me in the future, remember, these dozens of acres of land will be yours in the future, you have to manage them well, and you must not be barren." Master Mei said seriously.
"Don't worry, Dad, we will take good care of these lands." The young man ran back to the woman, and the women looked at the young man with a smile, and the men also looked at the young man with a smile, and the young man seemed to be a young master who was loved by thousands of people, but in fact he was indeed a young master.
Master Mei looked here for a while, dozens of acres of land is indeed a lot for a family, but it is not much for a village, and these lands are all owned by Master Mei, and those villagers are tenants of Master Mei.
When the day's harvest was over, these tenants gathered around Master Mei, looking like they wanted to say something, and Master Mei looked at the old and young masters of the whole village kindly and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
One of the villagers who seemed quite smart said: "Master Mei, you also know that this year's harvest is not good, our family is almost out of rice, and the food left after paying the tax is not enough for my three sons for half a year, so I would like to ask Master Mei if he can reduce the tax." ”
Master Mei said happily: "Okay, there is a drought this year, if you don't produce grain, I will reduce the tax by 50% per person, no matter what, I won't starve you, otherwise who will help me work next year." ”
When the villagers below saw that Master Mei was so easy to speak, they all immediately cheered: "Master Mei, you are really a living Bodhisattva." ”
Then the scene turns, the village is no longer so harmonious, the war begins, and then, liberated. The whole village has been liberated, and the people from above and below say that they want to divide the land equally, and Master Mei looks at the dozens of acres of land belonging to his family, he is just a small landlord, although he is generous, he can let his land be handed over for no reason, he is not happy.
"I don't do it, these lands are mine, why should you take them?" Master Mei blushed and said to the person in military uniform in front of him.
The surrounding villagers spoke at this moment: "Master Mei, now that you are liberated, it is not you landlords who are in charge, hurry up and divide the land." ”
When the first villager said this, the surrounding villagers echoed it, and some of the villagers actually scolded: "A landlord like you who exploits the people should be punished and shot." ”
When this sentence came out, Master Mei was stunned, he looked at the surrounding villagers blankly, looked at the sickly expressions on their faces, and said sadly: "I have been good to you for so many years in vain, and you repay me like this!" ”
It's a pity that no one listened to him, and soon, Master Mei was dragged away by two people with guns, and was forced to press in the open space in the middle of the village. With a bang, the gun went off.
In the Mei family, a little boy watched his father being shot like this, but he could only cry silently, because his mouth was covered by his mother, so the boy couldn't cry.
The boy looked at the villagers around him again, and the villagers clapped and laughed and looked at the scene in front of them with joy, because it would not be long before they would have their own land. (To be continued.) )
