Section 19 Tax Officer
Crossing, getting lost, killing......
In just four days, Chen Yin experienced many other things that others would never encounter in their lifetimes.
The drastic environmental and psychological changes in a short period of time seem to awaken a certain instinct written deep into the human body's genes, allowing Chen Yin to quickly adapt to various changes in just a few days.
The mind is more active than ever, the intuition is sharper than ever, and no matter what you do or say, you become impressed. So, in just a few days, Chen Yin's Hebrew language is improving dramatically. Not only are there few barriers to communication, but I can even have a simple chat with little Susan.
“…… Corpse...... It's all gone. Chen Yin saw the stinky ditch where the corpse was thrown before, and there was nothing left at this time.
"There's always a group of people who like corpses. Strip off the money and clothes, and then take the corpse as a trap or even eat it yourself! The little girl said in disgust, "Those filthy people do almost anything to survive!" Even the lowliest slaves look down on them......"
Pitfall? To man or to beast? For the sake of the filthy people who lived? Slavery is still alive here?
Although he was very curious about these, Chen Yin just listened quietly with doubts.
In fact, Chen Yin didn't care about the above, and his biggest doubt was actually the "job card" - the thing that the four of them forced Susan's mother to ask before.
Can this job card be installed on the career card slot in the card book? What happens if I put it on?
But he didn't ask.
This question is too sensitive, and if it causes misunderstanding, it can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
So Chen Yin had no choice but to remain silent.
One of the two chatters stopped talking, and the other began to play freely, gradually sliding in a strange direction......
“…… Aunt Jiya was the best, she always took care of me when I was a child, and always gave me delicious little biscuits, if it weren't for her, I might have starved to death. ”
"yes, that's a great guy." Chen Yin is dispensable.
“…… Uncle Tim is the best blacksmith in our town! In the past, Dad's arrows were always made to Uncle Tim, otherwise there was always a lot of weight difference. By the way, Uncle Tim's pie is the best! ”
"Also, there are two honey buns in that house, which are very special and delicious, and I used to eat one every morning."
Why are you all eating, eating, eating?
Chen Yin laughed, shook his trouser pocket, made a clattering sound of coins colliding - this was picked up in the small village before - and asked little Susan, "Do you want to eat now?" ”
“…… Want to ......"
"Can you eat it?"
"Can't eat ......"
"Snack goods!"
"What does 'foodie' mean? Whining...... Your Excellency, you bully! ”
"Hahahaha......"
Chen Yin hasn't been so happy for a long time. Staying with this simple little guy, it seems that even his own mind has become simpler.
The further you go along the stone path, the wider your vision becomes, and the number of people gradually increases. Until the center of the town, a strange stone and wood machine towers in the middle of the town, and many townspeople are queuing up in front of this strange machine to get water.
"Rickshaw waterwheel ......," Chen Yin whispered the words marked out by the true visual effect.
When Chen Yin got closer, he realized that the stone structure connected to the waterwheel was a huge well, and the wellhead was covered by thick wooden planks with a diameter of 5 meters. As a few shackled slaves struggled to tread the waterwheel, clear well water flowed out with the rotation of the waterwheel, filling the barrels of each townsman.
Chen Yin carried little Susan and consciously occupied the bottom of the row.
Just as the two were chatting about each other, Chen Yin suddenly found that a townsman in front of him who was fetching water had been kicked out of the team.
"What's wrong with that guy?" Chen Yin asked strangely.
Little Susan leaned into Chen Yin's ear and whispered, "He hasn't paid taxes for two consecutive quarters, so the tax collector won't let him get water." ”
"Pay taxes, get water...... There's already a concept of responsibility and welfare......" Chen Yin muttered quietly in Chinese.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Chen Yin shook his head, "Why don't you take water from Xiaohe?" ”
"Because of the Death Forest, the water sources around the Death Forest are not drinkable, and it's good to drink less, but if you drink that water, you will itch and fester......"
"What about this person? Die of thirst? ”
“…… Either pay taxes or sell yourself into slavery. ”
"Sell?" Chen Yin was stunned, "Who buys it?" ”
"Noble lord."
"The aristocracy would buy such a person!?" Chen Yin looked at the townsman who was so thin that he only had bones left, and the folds on his face could kill flies! Will the nobles of this quality accept it?
“…… No. ”
"And what about him?" Chen Yin's face was incredulous.
"Die. Or to be a filthy man who digs graves and digs graves and is abducted. ”
Chen Yin suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the little girl's voice, and hugged her down, only to find that the little girl's face turned pale at some point.
"You ......"
Just when Chen Yin wanted to ask her what was wrong, the tax officer had already walked up to Chen Yin, looked at little Susan with a playful face, and said in a strange tone: "Yo, isn't this the granddaughter of the strong hunter Li De?" I remember...... Your name is Susan, right? ”
"Uh-huh......" little Susan's face became even more ugly.
"Your family didn't pay taxes last quarter...... the tax officer glanced at Chen Yin, then turned his gaze back to little Susan, and continued: "When are you going to pay?" ”
"But...... But......" Little Susan grabbed the corner of Chen Yin's clothes and bit her lip, "But the lord has exempted our family from taxes for 10 years......"
"Yes, that's right." The tax collector nodded, "Because your father handed over a corpse of Brofen and spirit stones, your lord exempted your family from taxes for 10 years. However, the lords are not exempt from the dedication tax that has been levied since the last quarter. ”
"Yes...... Did the lord forget? ”
"Shut up! How can you slander your lord!? The tax officer's face turned cold, and then slowly eased up, "I also know the situation of your family, maybe it's really the lord...... But! In any case, as long as the lord does not personally revise the tax list, then the tax must be paid. ”
The little girl's legs went limp, and she almost sat on the ground.
When I think about the consequences of not paying my taxes...... Is she going to follow her mother and be a filthy person?
"You, there's still a month's deadline. Think about it with your mother. After saying that, the tax officer turned around and wanted to leave, but
A voice stopped him.
"Wait."
Chen Yin stopped the tax officer.
"How much is their family's tax?"
