And just when Xuan Li began to follow Yin Yu and the others to start their fighting training. Di Xi also integrated into the fishing village known as "Haihong". His deeds of killing giant crocodiles and saving children also made the residents of Haihong Village treat him as a guest.

Knowing that Di Xi had no place to stay, with the help of the residents, they converted a dilapidated house into a temporary shelter, which became Di Xi's home in the underground world.

And Di Xi also learned about the situation in this underground world from the residents of Haihong Village.

It turned out that 70,000 years ago, after the catastrophe of the asteroid impact on Haiya, the original human civilization suffered a catastrophe. Some of the survivors escaped into the hollow underground.

What I didn't expect was that this underground cavity actually had a core similar to the sun, which gave the primitive humans of Haiya Star a base for development.

Therefore, after tens of thousands of years of evolution, the current underground man has developed to a level equivalent to the Middle Ages of the Triad Galaxy.

There are two countries in this underworld, including the Sangzi country where Haihong Village is located, and the Jinshan country to the west.

Sangzi Country is rich in products, but relatively speaking, its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Jinshan Country. The Jinshan Kingdom mainly produces gold and jewelry, but other natural resources are relatively poor compared to the Sangzi Kingdom. Therefore, the Jinshan Kingdom often relied on its own strong forces to attack the Sangzi Kingdom, and the border wars between the two countries continued.

The village is located right on the border between the two countries, and is often affected by war. Fortunately, a few years ago, the two countries signed a five-year armistice.

"It's just a pity that this is now the last year of the armistice. Maybe after this year, we will be baptized by war again. Whenever this is mentioned, the village chief Qian Yao also has a sad face.

However, these are not Di Xi's concerns, and as a person who has migrated from the extraterrestrial, it is inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of this underground world. The priority is to find a few of his lost companions.

Di Xi took out Feng Ying'er's photo from the dimensional bag and asked the villagers here. "Have you seen this girl?" Di Xi asked.

"Wow! What a beautiful girl! "It's like a fairy!" The villagers were also shocked by Feng Ying'er's beauty. But when I really asked if I had seen it, I shook my head one by one.

"Such a beauty, as long as we have seen it, we will definitely remember it." Qian Yao sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see it." ”

"Brother Di, who are you?" Ame asked.

"She's my wife, and we were separated by accident." Di Xi's words once again made the villagers envious.

"But only such a beauty can be worthy of a hero like Brother Di." Qian Yao said, "By the way, Brother Di, if you want to find someone, I suggest you go to the capital to try your luck." ”

The capital city mentioned by Qian Yao is Sangzi City, which is about ten kilometers away from Haihongcun. It is arguably the most prosperous city in the Underworld.

Di Xi nodded, as the capital of Sang Ziguo, I believe that he should be able to get a lot of information.

"Thank you, Village Chief Qian!" Di Xi said gratefully, "Then I'll leave tomorrow!" ”

"It just so happens that we are going to the city tomorrow to deliver goods, so let's bring Brother Di with us then!" Tian Jianzhong suggested.

"Then there is Brother Lao Tian!"

Just when everyone was talking, there was a sudden noisy sound at the entrance of the village. There was even the cries of women and children.

Hearing this voice, Qian Yao and the others also changed their faces greatly.

"What's wrong?" Di Xi also saw that Qian Yao and the others seemed to have something unspeakable.

"It's the tax collector here!" Qian Yao said with a heavy heart.

"Tax collector?"

“

They are all devils who eat people and don't spit out bones. Tian Jianzhong sighed and said, "It's obviously a truce on the border, but there is still a war tax to be levied every month." And this tax is simply too high. ”

"That is, we have to hand over half a month's rations. And recently this tax collector has set up a lot of taxes, and we are overwhelmed by this! Other villagers also said.

"Is it so powerful?" Di Xi also frowned, "Then why don't you report to the official?" ”

"How do you sue? Those guys are all out of one nostril, and the government doesn't accept them. Qian Yao said helplessly.

"Help! Killed! Suddenly, a scream stimulated the nerves of the people in the room.

"These devils!" Qian Yao said angrily, "Let's take a look!" ”

After Qian Yao finished speaking, he led the villagers towards the entrance of the village.

Seeing this, Di Xi also pushed the wheelchair and slowly followed behind them.

When they came to the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people wearing official uniforms gathered there. The men were so vicious that they surrounded a woman with her child in her arms, and one of the officials was beating her with a whip.

"Do you pay taxes, do you pay taxes!" The official shouted as he drew it.

"My lord, stop, please stop!" Seeing this, Qian Yao hurriedly ran over to persuade him.

When the official saw that it was Qian Yao, he immediately stopped. "It turned out to be Village Chief Qian!" The official said unceremoniously, "What's the matter, we're doing business, what do you tell us to do?" ”

"Official, you can't fight anymore!" Qian Yao hurriedly explained, "This widow Du is already surrounded by four walls, and she really can't pay the money!" ”

"If you can't hand it over, don't you have to hand it in?" The official said coldly, "Do you know that this is getting closer and closer to the day of war with Jinshan Kingdom, how can we feed the army without collecting taxes?" When the army of Jinshan Kingdom comes to attack, your Haihong Village will bear the brunt! ”

"But Lord Official, you see, this widow's newly bereaved husband is a soldier in the army!" Tian Jianzhong also stood up and explained, "It stands to reason that he sacrificed his life for the country and can be regarded as a martyr." According to the law of Sang Ziguo, it should be exempt! ”

"That was before!" The official sneered, "Starting from this year, five years after the death of the martyrs, the original family members still need to pay war taxes. And today is exactly the fifth year! Besides, Widow Du, your husband died that year but he received a pension! ”

"But the official is too little. Excluding my husband's funeral expenses, there wasn't much left. Widow Du said, "And the family still owes a lot of debts before, and this has not had time to be repaid!" ”

"I can't do anything about that!" The official said coldly, "Rules are rules, and laws are laws." If you don't pay your taxes today, then you will inevitably suffer from flesh and skin. The official said as he shook his whip.

"My lord, I really don't have any money. Even if you kill me, I won't be able to take it out! Widow Du cried.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, isn't the child in your hand worth a lot of money?" The official sneered, "If you sell it to a rich family as a slave, you may be able to make a lot of money." ”

"Bao, he's the meat that fell off my body!" Widow Du hugged her son tightly and cried.

"My lord, if you collect taxes, you will collect taxes, and you can't force others to sell their own flesh and blood!" Qian Yao said angrily.

"Village Chief Qian, you said it lightly, or a few of you will pay it for her!" The official snorted coldly, "A total of one hundred gold coins, hurry up!" ”

"Why do you want so much!" Qian Yao frowned.

"Because it's actually a tax

！ It should have been collected a long time ago, and with the late fees in arrears, it's almost that amount. The official said.

"But we can't get that much at once now!" Tian Jianzhong also said in embarrassment.

"Then don't blame me for being rude!" As the official spoke, several people rushed over in spite of each other, trying to snatch Ah Bao from Widow Du's hands.

Seeing this, Qian Yao and the villagers immediately rushed over and fought with the officials.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, you guys are going to rebel!" The official at the head was furious, "Arrest these few people who hinder our tax collection, and kill them if they resist." ”

"Yes!" With the boss's order, the other officials rushed up, and the iron rods and swords in the book were about to greet the fishermen of Haihong Village.

"Everyone, please stop!" At this moment, Di Xi's loud voice suddenly shocked the audience.

Even the officials couldn't help but stop.

"Who! Who's talking! The chief official said.

"It's me!" The crowd made a way, and Di Xi pushed his wheelchair and walked slowly in front of the officials.

"Who did I think it was, it turned out to be a cripple I didn't know!" The official scoffed.

"And who are you?" Di Xi asked calmly.

"You don't even know me?" The official laughed, "My name is Zong Kui, and I am the captain of this tax collection team. ”

"Captain Zong?"

"That's right?"

"It turned out to be just a captain." Di Xi's tone suddenly became extremely cold, "A small captain dares to show off his might in front of me?" ”

Di Xi's sentence also made Zong Kui jump. "Look at him like this, and his origin is unknown. Could it be any background? Zong Kui also hesitated.

"You are?" Zong Kui asked tentatively.

"Brutes don't deserve to talk to me!" Di Xi didn't give Zong Kui any face at all.

"Damn, you dare to insult me!" Zong Kui was immediately enraged, and he said loudly, "You guy of unknown origin, don't be embarrassed!" I suspect now that you are a spy of the Jinshan Kingdom, come on, brothers, take down this cripple for me. ”

"Who of you dares!" Qian Yao and the others shouted, "How can Little Brother Di be a spy? ”

"You people, if you help him again, you will be the accomplices of the spies!" Zong Kui shouted.

"You should take care of your hat thing." Di Xi sneered. Suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, several golden lights flashed, and the officials around Zong Kui fell to the ground one after another.

"What? What kind of magic do you make! Seeing this, Zong Kui's face suddenly changed greatly.

"There is no demon magic? What are you talking about? Di Xi looked at Zong Kui Dao with an innocent expression.

For a while, Zong Kui didn't know how to pick it up. He looked at his companion who had fallen to the ground motionless, and now found that he was alone.

"Even if you are ruthless, you are against the government. You wait for me! Zong Kui put down a cruel word, and immediately turned around and left.

"Hahaha, what a bully and a hard thing!" The fishermen of Haihong Village laughed.

"Thank you so much!" Widow Du hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Okay, this sister-in-law, please get up quickly!" Di Xi hurriedly said, "The matter hasn't been resolved yet, you don't have to worry about thanking me." ”

"Didn't solve it? Didn't you already drive Zong Kui and his gang away? Tian Jianzhong asked curiously.

"Brother Di is right, we didn't solve the problem by beating these people away." Qian Yao still looked solemn, "That Zong Kui is just a pawn." The real trouble is the tax collector behind him! ”

"Village Chief Qian is right, that Zong Kui will definitely go to move the rescue soldiers." Di Xi said.
