"Ono, things can be eaten indiscriminately, words can't be nonsense, my brother has been for more than 20 years, and he has never seen a demon. ”

"I knew you didn't believe it. Hum. Ono pouted and ignored him.

"I've come back from catching hares. The dog carried a fat hare and shouted excitedly at them.

The hare was still alive, and it was fluttering around by the dogs, which grabbed its ears and fluttered around.

"Wow, that's cute. Ono stepped forward and hugged the hare in his arms and stroked it, with a very fond expression.

"I really envy this fat rabbit, it's not shallow. The dog quipped in a voice as clear as a bell.

After saying that, the two burst into laughter. Zhou Zheng, who was standing on the side, had a solemn face, and he thought that the demon clan wanted to catch Xiao Ye and her master, this matter must not be simple.

The three of them played until noon before going back. The dog proposed to go back and cook the rabbit he had just caught and give it to Granny Wang to eat, but Xiao Ambition was distressed and refused to give it to the dog while holding the rabbit. The two chased all the way down the mountain.

The paddy fields below the mountain were empty, and the surroundings were quiet.

Dog grew up here, and he knows the habits of the villagers in Wangjia Town very well. The beginning of spring was supposed to be the time for farming, but there was no one to be seen.

The trio quickened their pace back to town. In a spacious area of the town, five officers and soldiers stood on the meadow and spoke, and the villagers kept their heads bowed in silence.

"The government that killed a thousand knives has come to collect taxes again!" the dog gritted its teeth, its fists clenched painfully.

A man with a hoe with a red face, argued: "Haven't we already paid this year's taxes, or are they three times as much as last year, so why do we have to collect them today?"

"Hmph, the emperor is going to recover the land of the northern wilderness, and the army needs to eat when it fights, and where is it enough to collect taxes without collecting taxes!"

"What kind of Beiye is good to recover, what is the use of those extremely cold places?" the villagers argued unconvinced.

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's useful or not. The officers and soldiers said disdainfully.

Not long ago, everyone just paid a large amount of taxes, and almost all of last year's harvest money was paid to the royal treasury. Just after winter, many people tightened their belts to survive the winter, looking forward to planting early in the spring of this year, and waiting for a bumper harvest in exchange for ration money.

Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers came to ask for taxes again, and the villagers were completely fed up, and no one would be able to live if they continued like this, and what taxes would they have to pay. So everyone united and resolutely did not pay taxes. The villagers rushed up and pointed angrily at the officers and soldiers with the tools used to do farm work at home. The officers and men were accused of being weak-hearted and took a few steps back.

At this time, several officers and soldiers with knives came running from not far away.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the officers and men drew their sabers and played with them. They warned the villagers to hurry up and pay the taxes, or else they would be cut down.

When Granny Wang heard this, she angrily reprimanded: "Do you dare?! Is there a royal law in the world!"

A man who looked like the leader of the officers and soldiers said with contempt: "Blind woman, are you blind in your eyes, and your heart is also blind." Today is the 'royal law' for us to collect tax money, and now the country is in trouble, shouldn't the subjects make a contribution?!"

"Get out!" a thin man shuddered and roared. His family's field itself was not in good location, and the harvest was poor, so after paying the taxes, there was no money left to eat, and the family of five relied on other villagers to take out some rations from their own poor rice bags to survive.

The leader of the officers and soldiers rushed up and grabbed him by the collar and was about to beat him, and he kicked the leader in the stomach. It didn't matter if he kicked him, the officers and soldiers surrounded him and beat him with hatred with their knives.

"Don't hit my father!" a child in open crotch pants ran up and grabbed one of the officers and soldiers on the leg and bit it down hard.

The officer and soldier were bitten, and he kicked the child away, but fortunately, Zhou Zheng caught the child at the right time.

When the villagers saw that the thin man was beaten and bruised, and he was dying, they did not dare to speak out again. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the miserable appearance of the thin man vomiting blood from his mouth.

The child hid in Zhou Zheng's arms and cried sadly, he cried and shouted: "Save my father!"

The dog couldn't stand it, and was about to step forward to theorize, but was pulled by Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng glanced at him and told him not to meddle in his affairs, so as not to get into trouble.

The dog's face was embarrassed, and he glanced at the child, and he couldn't bear it. Suddenly, Ono yelled, "Stop!" The people present stared curiously at the foreign woman in front of them, but they didn't expect the petite and delicate young woman to be quite bold.

After Xiao Ye yelled, she saw that the officers and soldiers ignored her, and suddenly felt embarrassed, she looked up at Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng shook his head at her, and whispered: "Don't be nosy." ”

The child who had been crying in Zhou Zheng's arms heard Zhou Zheng's words clearly, and he broke free from Zhou Zheng's arms in disappointment and ran towards the pile of officers and soldiers again. Seeing this, Xiao Ambition was in a hurry and ran over.

Ono ran up and grabbed the arm of an officer who was beating a thin man and pulled it out, shouting at her as she dragged it. Seeing that a troublemaker came from somewhere, the officers and soldiers pushed Ono aside. Ono rushed over again and bit the arm of another officer and soldier, the adult woman's teeth were much stronger than that of a child, and the bitten officer and soldier screamed, he slapped Ono with his backhand, knocking her to the ground, Zhou Zheng and the dog hurriedly ran over to help Ono up. All the officers and soldiers stopped, and the bitten officer and soldier covered his arms and grinned: "Lao Tzu is really bad luck today, I was just bitten by a hairy boy, and I was bitten by a stinky woman, don't call me for gambling money tonight, it's really back." ”

Zhou Zheng stood in front of the officers and soldiers who were talking, his face was ugly, and he was about to have a seizure. Other officers and soldiers pointed their knives at Zhou Zheng and asked him arrogantly if he wanted to die. Zhou Zheng was too lazy to quibble with them, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness to snatch a saber, and left a bloody mark on the shoulder of each officer and soldier as a "commemoration" in three strokes and two blows.

A total of 12 officers and soldiers were wounded in an instant, and everyone present, including the dogs, was about to drop their jaws in shock.

Ono stared at Zhou Zheng alertly. Zhou Zheng looks like an ordinary person, judging from his eyes, he can neither see the perseverance and heroism of a hero with strong martial arts, nor the narrow-mindedness of evil thoughts of traitors and demons. I didn't expect him to be a deeply hidden practitioner.

Zhou Zheng threw his sword on the ground and said with a sneer: "Get out of here, don't come again in the future, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”

The officers and men who had been arrogant and domineering just now left in embarrassment with their painful shoulders clutched. Seeing this, the villagers gave Zhou Zheng a warm applause, and they thanked the heroes who had seen the unevenness of the road to help them out of the siege today, but they never thought that there would be a greater disaster waiting for them after the past.

The child was holding the head of the thin man and crying, and the thin man was so badly injured that the bones of his leg were broken.
