Chapter 228: The Waves Are About to Rise
The sunlight in the belly of the ice sheet does not seem to change over time.
It was obviously noon, hidden in the dark clouds, reluctant to show the warm sun, and only symbolically gave a few rays of light to the snowfield, but for the people who lived in the cracks of the Eight Heavenly Kings' territories, even if they could see the brightness like gold, they would be moved to put it like a treasure, like a new life.
Stepping on the mottled and almost empty light and shadow, the dead and silent town, for some reason, was filled with people, and this unprecedented grandeur completely defeated the indifference and numbness of the town.
In the crack of the hidden door, the old man covered the child's mouth, not daring to gasp for breath, and in the dark and oppressive crowd of snow, some people kept rubbing their eyes, as if they had seen some unreal picture, some people stared at them with their mouths wide in a daze, and the big ones could stuff an egg, and more people whispered, with awe and suspicion.
"This ...... You killed all these prey alone? ”
It's been a long time since this bleak town has seen such a grand and unprecedented agglomeration.
Dressed in a faded blue silk brocade robe, the mayor of the town twitched violently with his hands in his sleeves, and his eyes were full of small mountains of prey, and his eyelids never stopped twitching since he saw these shocking tributes.
The man sitting directly above the pile of prey bowed slightly, ignoring the envious and almost crazy gazes of the townspeople, he lowered his hand, but patted the girl beside him who was afraid to raise his head, and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Listen, big guys, now I will donate all the tributes you see to everyone in the name of Yaoyao and her aunt, and as for my ten snow rabbits, they are already included." ”
"Donate to us?"
"He, is what he said true?"
Wu Wenxu said, and the crowd of black pressure exploded directly.
The faces of the townspeople were wonderful, and all kinds of boiling voices were noisy, oh my! So many rare tributes are worth three months of work for the whole town, and he, he even donated them all without blinking an eye?
The pupils were full of stunned and excited townspeople, and they did not disturb the heart of our lord at all, or rather, he had already expected this uproar, Wu Wenxu glanced at the sluggish mayor and said coldly: "Mayor." ”
"I'm here!"
The mayor of the town was still standing between the four men, looking indestructible under protection, but under the gaze of this towering man, he actually felt terrifyingly cold and helpless, and he firmly believed that these cold and ruthless eyes, as long as they blinked in the moment, they could take their lives without hesitation!
Wu Wenxu casually threw the corpse of a snow fox at the man's feet and motioned for him to pick it up and take a look.
'What kind of monster did Qin Yaoyao rescue? ’
The mayor secretly swallowed his saliva and carefully picked up the snow fox, however, the moment his fingers touched the snow fox's fur, he stiffened fiercely!
'This, this feel?' ’
'How soft, so warm! Lord Ice God, the quality of this snow fox's fur is definitely the highest quality, no, it should be said to be the highest quality! A snow fox with such fur, dedicated to Lord Min Tianwang, will definitely be worth eight hundred snow rabbits! ’
What is the concept of 800 snow rabbits?
The monthly tribute for one person is ten snow rabbits, so eight hundred snow rabbits are equal to the monthly tribute of eighty people, that is, this little snow fox can deduct eighty heads!
One snow fox is equal to eighty human lives, which is indeed extremely funny.
However, the commoners of the Eight Heavenly Kings' territory will not feel funny, and the town chief will not feel funny, his eyes are numbers, and the townspeople who have lived hard-won are ......
"Are these tributes enough to repay the kindness of the people in the town to Yaoyao and her aunt?"
Wu Wenxu's indifferent words woke up the mayor who was immersed in joy, he looked at the prey piled up like a hill, looked at the man's cold eyes, and nodded seriously and vigorously for a long time.
So, the coldness in Wu Wenxu's eyes faded, and he smiled, he doted on the girl's shoulder, like an older brother, he didn't notice that Qin Yaoyao's little face was red to the root of his ears, and said to the girl: "Yaoyao, we should go back, I put two fat roe deer in your basket, and you watched the burning at lunchtime, by the way, I also collected a lot of wolf tooth grass along the way, and I didn't uproot it." ”
Qin Yaoyao didn't hear the man's words clearly, but just followed behind him in a daze.
She didn't want to admit in her heart that in this world, there were people who were more powerful than her brother, and what was even more embarrassing was that he hugged herself in front of everyone, didn't he know that such an action could only be done between husband and wife?
'Husband and wife? ’
Qin Yaoyao hurriedly covered her hot cheeks and secretly aimed at the thick-shouldered man in front of her.
His body is not strong, and he walks very magnificently, which reminds the girl of the proud figure of the general when he examines it, and the girl thinks about it seriously, but she thinks that he looks much better than the walking appearance of the generals who are innocent, and she can't help but laugh with satisfaction, and laugh very happily.
The town lord silently withdrew his hand, and watched as the figures of the two disappeared into the mottled gold.
The frenzied yelling and agitated hugging made the town seem chaotic, and he was probably the only one who could see the tribute he had never seen in his life, and who would not be carried away by joy after hearing about the unconditional confiscation of the tribute.
"What a great benefactor for us, he was stupid enough to want to get rid of him."
Gradually, the mayor's brow tightened with the joy of the townspeople, it was indeed a celebration worthy of revelry, and the man exchanged a few hours for at least three months' respite from the town!
The mayor suddenly felt that the weight on his shoulders was much weaker, and he stroked his beard and tried to raise his head, even the slightly rickety waist straightened......
Three months of extra tribute out of thin air, shrouded in the gloom of the town, as if diluted a lot, compared to the fear that maybe he would die in the next moment, now to ensure that there are three months to live, anyone's heart will be full of joy.
The lifeless town became thriving, Wu Wenxu saw it in his eyes, no longer showed an indifferent look, he began to learn Qin Yaoyao to greet the people in the town, for this resounding figure in the town, for this life-saving benefactor of the town, how can anyone not sell Wu Wenxu's face?
Wu Wenxu alone made such earth-shaking changes in the town!
"Look, I'll just say, the big guy is just too stressed, relax and get along very well."
Qin Yaoyao saw the man seriously salute a young girl, and immediately pushed Wu Wenxu forward and didn't let the man stay, because she saw some kind of ill-intentioned brilliance in the girl's eyes, just like ...... A man who has been hungry for many days.
It can make Qin Yaoyao, who has no desire and no desire, also have a headache, which shows the ability of our lord.
In fact, Qin Yaoyao didn't find that her psychology had undergone subtle changes, for example, when the lord talked to a young and beautiful woman, she would take the man away under various excuses, and gradually, she seemed to have discovered her abnormality, and she couldn't help but become more confused.
Most of the inhabitants of the Eight Heavenly Kings are very open-minded.
Especially for women with beautiful appearances, they often have an unusual choice, whenever the general receives tribute, many unmarried girls will dress up in flowers, trying to attract the attention of the generals, once they can enter the eyes of the generals, it is natural to be a carp jumping over the dragon gate, why do you need to fall into despair?
Of course, these girls who want to take shortcuts are only a few, the simple residents have a strong sense of the countryside, the women who don't want to leave the land of their ancestors, the requirements for choosing a mate are very high, and physical strength is always the first place, after all, only good physical fitness can withstand the cruel rule of the kings and pick the pillars of the family.
Wu Wenxu, who appeared in an exaggerated posture with a powerful and exaggerated posture, ignited the fire in the hearts of all unmarried women in an instant, and the lord had no idea how many young girls had been captured by his cold back.
For them, if they can rely on such a strong backer, what will they worry about for the rest of their lives?
"Auntie, what do you say about me recently, as soon as I saw Wu Wenxu being entangled by other women, I was inexplicably annoyed in my heart, this feeling is so strange, Auntie, do you think I'm sick?"
The girl held her cheeks in her small hands and stared out the window.
She couldn't understand it, she had only known the man for six or seven days, but why she always thought about him, just now he was invited by the town chief, I heard that the town lord's daughter was born as beautiful as a flower, could it be to introduce relatives?
Qin Yaoyao's irritability and annoyance made the old man lying on the bed laugh meaningfully.
The old man smiled narrowly: "Yaoyao, it's not that my aunt said you, you have to learn to grasp it when you meet a good man, you are not too young, I believe in my aunt's vision, Wen Xu, this child, is quasi-good." ”
Her mind was pinched by her aunt, Qin Yaoyao's face turned red in a flash, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she hurriedly explained: "No, I only treat him as an elder brother, no, I don't think about it......"
In the end, the girl couldn't say anything anymore, so she couldn't help but sit beside the old man, coquettishly grabbed the old man's arm, and complained: "Auntie~"
The town chief's dwelling was much quieter than expected.
Wu Wenxu and the mayor sat across the table, not knowing what they were talking about.
At this moment, behind the town chief, the woman with a beautiful face and a smile on her lips brought another cup of tea, her smile was as light as tea, soft and warm, Wu Wenxu politely took the tea, but did not look at her.
"If it's you, there must be no problem! Tomorrow, the general will accept the tribute, stay for half a day at most, and he will leave soon, half a day, please be sure to promise the old man! ”
The girl stood obediently behind the mayor, the smile on her lips did not diminish, but when she saw that the palm of the man holding the teacup became stiff, and the curved eyelashes trembled for no reason.
"Okay."
Wu Wenxu calmly let go of the teacup, the bottom of the cup fell to the ground, making a banging sound, hearing this heavy and crisp collision, the town lord and the girl, but they all breathed a sigh of relief!
The town laughed and patted his numb chest, only to feel that the heart that was about to hang in his throat finally sank back to its original position.
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
