Chapter 224: A Good Family Man
The jurisdiction of the Min Heavenly King calculates the monthly tribute to be paid according to the number of heads, and these tributes, on the one hand, are used to support the profligacy of the City of Faith, so that on the other hand, they belong to the Heavenly King.
Compared with the other Seven Heavenly Kings, the tax rules set by the Min Heavenly King are quite decent, but all the people in the territory pay at least ten snow rabbit-level prey per person per month, and if they are lucky, they can catch a snow fox with high-quality fur, and one can be worth the tribute of ten snow rabbits.
In the snow field, there is indeed no shortage of snow rabbits, but over the years, the capture of ****, even if it is a flooded snow rabbit, it can't withstand human arrest!
In recent years, it has become more and more difficult to see the traces of prey on the snowfields around the town, and ten snow rabbits per person often need to take turns to look for guards day and night.
In the inaccessible snowfield area, the number of snow rabbits and other prey is very abundant, but the huge profit symbolizes high risk, because there are fierce beasts such as snow wolves and wild boars that eat people everywhere, and when they enter the depths, they almost die!
In the territory of the Seven Heavenly Kings, there are not a few people who die in search of tribute, and because they can't pay the tribute, they are listed as 'waste' and executed, so many that it is unimaginable that more than ten years ago, this town was still inhabited by thousands of residents, but more than ten years later, there are only more than 300 people......
"Ahh
Yaoyao girl suddenly exclaimed, the green onion is smooth and tender, the little hand of the crime suddenly retracted, she is full of curiosity to look at the Optimus Prime erected high in the bedding, a little puzzled, how can this erection still swell her little hand to stretch it out?
Out of courtesy, out of consideration for Wu Wenxu, who was still in a high fever, the childlike girl resisted the urge to lift the quilt, she had never seen such a fun guy, she couldn't help it, as if she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, the girl's retracted little hand slowly probed into this unknown object.
"Stop!"
The girl's little hand, which was about to hold the strong part of the lord, was already held tightly by Wu Wenxu.
'I'm a mother! You pure little girl, Lord Lord, I have been touched up and down by you hundreds of times, and then tirelessly explore, don't blame Lord Lord for being unkind. ’
Wu Wenxu hurriedly propped up his knees to cover up the embarrassment, Wu Wenxu stretched out his left hand that had been covering it from the futon, and said righteously: "You just touch your fingers, what's all the fuss, if you like to touch, come, give you a slow touch." ”
Yaoyao's honest eyes flashed, but she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No need, I thought you had some hidden weapon, I forgot to tell you, there is a shortage of weapons in the town, when you are recuperating, I will try to talk to the mayor of the town to see if I can only count you five snow rabbits in the first month." ”
In today's territory, a snow rabbit is already a burden that makes people's chests breathless, and it is impossible to ask the mayor to reduce the taxes of five snow rabbits, but Yaoyao doesn't want the man to worry, she thinks in her heart, there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the town, and she has been desperately looking for herbs in the snow field these days, maybe in exchange for equivalent bargaining chips.
'Hunting snow hares, still need weapons?' ’
Wu Wenxu asked incomprehensibly: "Why do you use weapons, don't the people in the town know how to perform magic?" ”
The girl smiled and said, "You are dreaming again, something as mysterious and forbidden as magic can only be used by the noble Eight Heavenly Kings and their subordinates, and all the civilians in the Eight Heavenly Kings' territories are not allowed to practice magic." ”
After the girl said that, she pouted and said: "A group of generals of the Eight Heavenly Kings will even send people to probe the jurisdiction from time to time, and those who find that there are magic particles in their bodies will be killed, so we can only rely on our bodies and rudimentary weapons to hunt tribute." ”
Wu Wenxu sneered in his heart: "Good means, for the sake of the common people, in order to consolidate the right to absolute rule and imprison the magical talent of the subjects, the ice ruler really does not have a few good birds, this cursed ice field, as well as the disasters suffered by the people on the ice field, one day, I, Wu Wenxu, will definitely end it with my own hands!" ’
Seeing that Wu Wenxu was deep in thought, Yaoyao began to look at this man curiously.
It's strange to say, from the fear and embarrassment when I saw him wake up at the beginning, to the cramped and apprehensive later, and now, I don't feel like a stranger at all, but like a friend I haven't seen for many years, the girl can't help but smile and tilt her head, letting the black and silky braids hang down on her chest, which is cute.
She held her cheeks with her little hand and said gently: "Since you are awake, just rest well, I will go to the aunt's house next door to cook some rice for you, coarse tea and light rice, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
"Uh...... Why are you looking at me like that. ”
The girl was a little nervous by Wu Wenxu's deep eyes, her hands clenched the hem of her skirt, and she lowered her eyes shyly, which looked quite like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law who had just married.
Wu Wenxu frowned, staring deeply at her delicate and lovely face, for a long time, the lord took a heavy breath, but stretched his eyebrows, and said very seriously: "Thank you." ”
The word thank you can rarely come out of Wu Wenxu's mouth.
And such a sincere, sincere and serious thanks, Wu Wenxu, is the first time to say it.
In the word sincere thanks, there is still a trace of happiness, Wu Wenxu is very grateful to the girl for saving herself, and wants to thank her even more for being able to meet such a pure and kind person in this Valoran continent.
Facing this kind and sincere girl, Wu Wenxu felt that her sinful soul seemed to be purified, and when she got along with her, she didn't need to rack her brains to calculate, and she didn't need to consider each other's interests with gray hair.
It's harmonious and comfortable.
Therefore, Wu Wenxu smiled, the long-accumulated clouds and solidified freezing melted on her face, like a spring breeze, the girl was infected by this joy, and also giggled, she squinted her eyes, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, and her charming braids swayed playfully with the natural smile.
The hut made of logs was overflowing with long-lost happiness, and a few piles of snow fell from the eaves, falling into the snow in embarrassment, bursting out of the snowflakes as brilliant as starlight, they did not think so, and seemed to be laughing after the two of them......
Nothing was said all night.
The morning light is faint, and the silver is tranquil.
When the sky was still hazy, Wu Wenxu heard a sound outside the house, it should be Yaoyao, who woke up early, was clearing the snow in front of the door.
After waking up, the high fever faded quickly, perhaps because of the strong physique, it burned for five days, which was enough to burn people, and it did not cause any sequelae to Wu Wenxu at all, Wu Wenxu put on the cotton clothes that the girl folded neatly beside the bed, and tiptoed out of bed.
Pushing open the door, Wu Wenxu saw the girl holding a shoulder-high, rough broom made of branches, she was struggling to sweep the snow in front of the door that could fall into half a foot to the other side, under her unremitting hard sweeping, the thick snow retreated and exposed most of the ground, she was very pleased with her results, and did not care about the crystal hot sweat hanging on the head of the mantis.
"Can you move around?"
The girl panted and clung to her broom, her surprised little face with a little joy.
Wu Wenxu nodded with a smile, but stretched out his hand and said, "You go to cook, I'll sweep the snow on the ground, I haven't gotten out of bed for so many days, it's just hot and warm, exercise and exercise bones." ”
Yaoyao looked at the big broom as high as her shoulder, and then at the weak Wu Wenxu, she touched Qiong's nose and thought for a moment, then hesitated: "Okay, but don't be too strong, just sweep this snow, just sweep it away, and go to the house to rest when your body is warm." ”
"Ahem, ahem!"
At this moment, Wu Wenxu heard a weak coughing sound coming from the log house next door, Yaoyao hurriedly handed the broom to Wu Wenxu, but said anxiously: "Auntie's cough is committed again, I will go to the house to boil medicine for her to drink first." ”
After that, the girl entered the hut next door in a hurry, the two wooden houses are only separated by the distance of the palm, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are connected together, seeing Yaoyao completely disappeared into the house, Wu Wenxu clenched the broom, stared at the snow and said to himself: "Anyway, it's boring, just clean up and clean up for you." ”
Half-ringing......
"This, you did it all?"
In front of my aunt's door, at least a few hundred square meters of thick snow disappeared!
Yaoyao covered her mouth in surprise, staring at the two funny-looking snowmen not far away with an incredible expression, her snow-white deerskin-wrapped cotton shoes stepped on the ground, as if she was stepping on unreal land, because these flat grounds, dry and dry, there was no trace of snow, Yaoyao even felt dizzy.
In just a few quarters of an hour, he had done a lot of work that he couldn't have done in a whole day?
Wu Wenxu was leisurely holding the broom, leaning against the log wall, still a little unfinished, when he saw the girl come out, he immediately pretended to be exhausted, and said weakly: "It's a piece of cake, just let me do all the rough work in the future, but my aunt's illness, is it better?" ”
Referring to her aunt's cough, the girl shook her head in frustration: "A complete cure may not be cured, because the medicinal materials are too expensive, I can only rely on the skills I learned from my brother, find some herbs in the snow to curb the aggravation of the disease, by the way, auntie, she wants to see you." ”
"Ah, yes!"
Wu Wenxu put the broom on the wall, but he always felt like he was seeing his parents, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead, Yaoyao also said that the man was tired, and he wiped the sweat with his little hands in distress, and said softly; "Look at you, you said don't force yourself, breakfast has been prepared, and it happened to be eaten with me and my aunt."
"Boom!"
A snowman with a branch poked at its nose suddenly exploded, and large pieces of snow rolled down to the ground, startling the girl, and she saw the man who was fiercely retracting his fist behind the ruined snowman, and his face turned white.
"Hehehe, eat? Qin Yaoyao, a waste, what else are you going to take him to eat?! ”
Seeing a few burly men walking towards him not far away, as well as the malicious scorn and ridicule in his ears, Wu Wenxu's smiling eyes suddenly became gloomy.
