Chapter 31: Poll Tax and Protection Money! (Ask for recommendation votes!! )
Cheng Fatzi's cabin.
Since the last injury, Cheng Xiaosang has still been asleep.
Cheng Fatzi kicked the wound on Cheng Xiaosang's calf, and a rotten stench rushed out, which was disgusting!!
What made Huang Xiaotian even more shocking was that he saw the wound on Cheng Xiaosang's calf, which was originally only sparse and sparse, with only a few ichthyosis patches, surged out a lot at once, and a circle grew around the wound, constantly spreading everywhere!
Cheng Fatzi's tears were about to fall on the side: "The wound on the back has grown more, densely pierced!" ”
Huang Xiaotian also felt distressed!
Although Cheng Xiaosang is not a sea warrior, she is working hard to cultivate every day!
As if out of guilt, or to do her best to sit down for something, the little girl was very diligent, cleaning the room every day, welcoming her brother's arrival, and at the same time doing all kinds of chores on the Hope.
"It's almost time to dock, I'll go with you to the doctor later!" Huang Xiaotian patted Cheng Fatzi's shoulder and comforted.
"Yes." Cheng Fatzi nodded.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cabin, it was Xiong Jianwu.
Xiong Jianwu first inspected Cheng Xiaosang's injury, frowned and shook his head, and sighed.
He wanted to help, but he couldn't.
He turned around again and explained to Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Fatzi about waiting to go ashore: "You wait to go ashore and go straight to the direction of the middle peak, there is the largest hospital in the Oasis Port, the Oasis Hospital, you go there and ask, there is the greatest hope." ”
"Thank you, Boss Bear."
"Then, when you go ashore, remember that you must be silent about our battle and harvest last night, and you must not mention a word to the outside world, do you?"
"Huh?" Huang Xiaotian and Xiong Jianwu glanced at each other suspiciously, but both of them were ashore for the first time and did not know some of the taboos.
Xiong Jianwu looked directly at the two of them, and explained in a low tone: "Although the oasis port is very prosperous, it is also mixed! ”
"There are all kinds of characters in it, and the three religions and nine streams are among them."
"Our harvest last night was too rich, for the safety of our Hope, we must keep it secret, do you know?"
"Got it!" Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Fatzi couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, they didn't expect there to be these taboos.
"If it weren't for Xiao Sang's illness, I wouldn't have let you two go ashore this time!"
Xiong Jianwu continued: "Remember the lesson of last night, even the Oasis United Army can't believe it, so you two wait to go ashore, remember to be careful, and don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Before dark, you have to get back to the ship, you know, whether it turns out or not?"
"Got it!" Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Fatzi replied in unison again.
Xiong Jianwu instructed again and again, and patted the shoulders of the two of them before leaving slowly.
……
Soon, the Hope was anchored at a bustling dock.
Only six people landed this time, fewer than any previous ones.
These six people are Huang Xiaotian, Cheng Fatzi, and Cheng Xiaosang.
The other three were Xiong Jianwu and the two people he was carrying.
The rest of the people were all grounded on the boat by Xiong Jianwu and couldn't get down.
Last night, the Hope had too much harvest, there were more than eighty deep-sea beasts, Xiong Jianwu didn't dare to take risks, so this time everyone had to stay on the ship honestly.
Although everyone complained, they also understood the stakes, and stayed on the boat honestly, and could only wait for the next time to go ashore in style.
Cheng Fatzi carried Cheng Xiaosang on his back with a strap, and when the six of them got off the boat, several officers wearing the uniforms of the Oasis United Army on the dock came over.
"Pay taxes, one person has a low-level sea spirit bead, and six people are six low-level sea spirit beads!" An officer with a fat face, a face full of meat, and a big circle fatter than Cheng Fatzi, looked at Huang Xiaotian and the others, and said arrogantly.
Xiong Jianwu was obviously ready, and took out six finger-sized sea spirit beads from his left pocket and handed them over.
The officer carefully inspected the sea spirit beads, handed one person a pass, and let him go.
After this period of understanding, Huang Xiaotian also knows.
The Sea Spirit Bead is a pearl inside a shell, a type of bead that has been mutated by the power of the sea.
Although they are also beads, some beads absorb more sea power, while others absorb less.
From this to the highest, the level of the sea spirit bead is low-level, intermediate, high-level, top-level, and superb!
The officer casually threw six low-level Sea Spirit Beads into a cloth bag in his hand, the cloth bag was arm long, bulging bag, and it was obvious that all of them were Sea Spirit Beads.
Huang Xiaotian looked envious.
Sometimes the Hope will go into the water to salvage the sea spirit beads when it passes by some coral reefs, islands, and shallows.
Generally, it is a good harvest for a person to be able to find a sea spirit bead in a day!
However, here, these officers easily got a big bag, which is really embarrassing!
Just as the six of them continued to walk forward for a while, a few people walked straight up not far away, shirtless, with a black blood-dripping axe tattooed on their backs.
These people had unruly faces and fierce looks, and they yelled at Xiong Jianwu from a distance: "Xiong Jianwu, you are not dead yet?" ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, pay the protection fee, one low-level sea spirit bead per person!"
What the?
Hearing this, Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Fatzi were almost stunned!
I just paid the poll tax, and there was another one who collected protection money?
Huang Xiaotian hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiong Jianwu, only to see that although Xiong Jianwu's face showed a look of displeasure, he still reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Qiang, today you came out to collect protection money!" ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up and pay the money!" The corners of Brother Qiang's mouth were disdainful, he didn't bother to pay attention to Xiong Jianwu's conversation, and looked at Xiong Jianwu and the others in front of him like looking at a prey waiting to be slaughtered.
Huang Xiaotian frowned, he could feel that this so-called strong brother was not strong, only in the middle of the first grade, but why was he so arrogant and confident.
Huang Xiaotian glanced around and quickly found the answer.
I saw that on the dock gang not far away, a large group of people gathered, and I saw that all these people had the same tattoos on their backs, and they all had the same tattoos on their backs, obviously these people were the backing of this strong brother.
Huang Xiaotian looked back at the officers who collected taxes just now, and saw that those officers were obviously not far from here, but at this time, they didn't even look at this place, as if the group of people in front of Brother Qiang were transparent!
Huang Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he understood something.
"Pay it now." Xiong Jianwu smiled reluctantly, and this time he took out six low-grade sea spirit beads from his right pocket and handed them over.
Huang Xiaotian sighed lightly in his heart, sure enough, Xiong Jianwu had already predicted this scene.
