Chapter 404: Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger
"I can't help it, I can't watch you die at his hands. Lin Yun said with a smile.
Xiao Nan snorted coldly, put on the straw hat full of bells again, and said, "If I wasn't caught off guard, the old monster wouldn't be able to help me." ”
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Nan and himself were injured, Lin Yun really wanted to step forward and give Xiao Nan a palm.
"There are people in this world who can be messed with, and some people who can't, since you still exist in this world, then these are the rules you should follow, understand?" Lin Yun sighed.
"I see. Perhaps because he had learned a lesson, Xiao Nan replied very honestly this time.
Lin Yun smiled: "That's how to behave." ”
Xiao Nan pointed to the straw hat on his head and said, "This hat has your smell on it." ”
"My smell?" Lin Yun glanced at the straw hat in confusion, and the memories of the long ago came back to his heart again.
It was a scorching summer, the trees on both sides of the road were under strong sunlight, Xiao Nan walked alone on the street, and every step he took, his soaked shoes would leave a clear watermark on the ground.
He was sweating profusely, and the sparkling sweat dripped down his shoulders like rain, wetting his patched coarse cloth shirt.
"Lin Yun, Lin Yun!" Xiao Nan shouted hoarsely across the high courtyard wall, but after a while, Lin Yun did not come as promised.
Xiao Nan was a little deflated, sat down on the ground, and leaned his thin back against the red courtyard wall.
"Xiao Nan!" Just as Xiao Nan was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, a familiar voice and the crisp sound of bells sounded one after another above Xiao Nan's head.
"Lin Yun!" Xiao Nan laughed stupidly, glanced up at Lin Yun, and then looked at the straw hat full of bells in Lin Yun's hand, "What is this, it's so beautiful." ”
Lin Yun, who was still young, said with a smile: "I made it up for you, it's so hot, let it help you shade the sun in the future." ”
Xiao Nan took the straw hat with his hand, gently stroked the gap of the straw hat with his hand, and the little bell jingled.
He put the straw hat on his head, turned around in front of Lin Yun, and asked with a smile, "Is it good-looking?"
Lin Yun nodded and said, "Well, it's good-looking, it's very suitable for you." ”
What followed was still Xiao Nan's silly laughter.
Lin Yun gently stroked the red thread wrapped around the straw hat with his hand, the straw under the straw hat was already broken, and those red threads were just to keep the straw hat in its original state.
"Huh. Lin Yun's heart was hot, after so many years, he had almost forgotten that this straw hat was from him.
The word "friend" is a very common noun, but it is also the rarest noun in the world.
"Be honest in the future. Lin Yun sighed suddenly, although the little beggar had become the current zombie king and fire shark, Xiao Nan still remembered the most important moments of his life and didn't dare to forget them.
"I have the forbidden power of the Snow King in me, and if I have the slightest dissent, he can destroy me at any time. Xiao Nan said softly.
Lin Yun smiled: "That's okay, Bing'er next to me, you've also seen it, the green skin gourd in her hand can break all the prohibitions in the world, as long as you find her, you can get out." ”
Xiao Nan asked in a low voice, "Is she your wife?"
Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly, and said, "Yes, sooner or later." ”
Xiao Nan smiled when he heard this, took out a tooth from the wide sleeve of his robe, handed it to Lin Yun, and said, "This is the zombie tooth I fell off, you wear it with a thread, all the zombies will not dare to approach you in the future, so it should be a congratulatory gift for the two of you." ”
"Thank you. Lin Yun took the fangs and held them tightly in his hands.
Xiao Nan shook the sleeves of his robe and continued: "Here, it's time to separate. ”
Lin Yunqi said: "Aren't you going back with me?"
Xiao Nan shook his head and said, "The Hail Snow King has improved his prohibition, if he forcibly breaks it, he will definitely sense it, and even if he burns all the jade at that time, he will not let me join your camp." Therefore, if you encounter the Hail Snow King's subordinates in the future, don't think about surrendering. ”
"I see, take care. Lin Yun took a deep breath, and his cognition of the Hail Snow King rose to a new level.
It is a long-term solution to convince talents with virtue, and how many people can be allowed to return to their hearts if they are forcibly controlled like the Snow King?
"Take care, too. After speaking, Xiao Nan fanned his cloak, and the whole person was like a bat in the night, swaying and flying into the distance.
"Xiao Nan......" Lin Yun's eyes were a little hot, and he looked at the direction of Xiao Nan's departure in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Of course, he doesn't want to be an enemy with Xiao Nan, but sometimes, people are so involuntarily.
Cold Dew City is Lin Yun's next destination.
He had also swam all over the country calmly*, but this time, he was a little apprehensive.
Before he walked to Hanlu City, Lin Yun saw a lot of people, most of these people were skinny, behind each team of people, there were officials with long whips to follow, once any people were lazy, these officials were not polite, and they were a whip.
Lin Yun suddenly became a little strange, didn't Hanlu City have bumper harvests year after year, why were even the people here still so miserable?
"Hurry, hurry, don't rub Lao Tzu here!" shouted an official.
And the man in front of him was already tired and fell to the ground, his thin body was covered with sweat, he gasped for breath, his chest continued to rise and fall, and he saw that he had no strength to open his eyes.
"Bastard, get up for Lao Tzu!" the official raised the long whip in his hand and slammed it on the man's body.
The man snorted, and there was an extra bruise on his upper body.
Not only him, Lin Yun observed that these folk men had more or less scars on their bodies, two or three of the good ones, and half of the bad ones had already been peeled open.
The man struggled a few times, but finally could not get up, and lay on the ground as if he had his fate.
"Holy shit!" the official obviously did not intend to let the man go, and the long whip was raised high again, and he pulled it down with a thunderous force.
However, the long whip failed to hit the people, and instead fell into the palm of a slender hand with a somewhat white skin.
The official was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the owner of the white palm with an unkind face, it was a handsome and extraordinary young man, the man was wearing a green coat, and a simple copper bell was hung on his chest, and his temperament was extraordinary.
The official tried to take the whip back, but no matter how hard he tried, the palm of his hand did not move.
This young man is naturally Lin Yun, and he can't look down on things like the official in front of him, so he is furious.
"He's running out of energy. Lin Yun said coldly.
"Who are you, dare to come here to take care of Lao ......" The official messenger and "Lao Tzu" had not finished speaking, but suddenly his face hurt.
Lin Yun knocked the official to the ground with one punch, and somehow, the long whip had changed its owner and was in Lin Yun's hands.
"Try what it's like to be whipped. Lin Yun snorted coldly disdainfully, used all his strength, and whipped the official on his body.
The official screamed, and after a few times in a row, his tone actually brought a crying voice: "The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, the villain is confused for a while......"
The surrounding officials also discovered the abnormality here, but they were not stupid, they had already seen that Lin Yun was an extraordinary cultivator, and no one dared to step forward to help at the moment.
"Let me see you bullying people in the future, don't blame me for taking your life!" Lin Yunyang threw a long whip with his hand, and the long whip turned into a streamer of light, deeply embedded in the land.
Seeing this, the official's face suddenly turned like earth, and he knelt on the ground and kept asking Lin Yun for mercy.
Lin Yun picked up the man, poured a trace of mana into his body, and said softly, "Uncle, are you okay?"
Nourished by Lin Yun's mana, the old man's pale face looked a little better, and he said weakly: "Hmm, hmm...... Thank you, Monk. ”
"It seems that the local people are also having a hard time. Lin Yun sighed faintly.
In the three northern cities, Mo Zixun ordered 300,000 Mo family troops under his command to go to the land to cultivate in order to conquer the Hail Snow King, and spent half a year on grain and grass, which barely collected all the grain and grass.
But the Hail Snow King was different, he directly forcibly requisitioned military rations from the people, and not only that, but also ordered the strong men to help him transport grain and grass, which is really hateful.
After receiving a lesson from Lin Yun, the officials obviously didn't dare to make another attempt, although they still kept scolding, they never dared to do it again.
The surrounding people all glanced at Lin Yun gratefully, but this was obviously not a long-term solution, but they were afraid that after Lin Yun left, the officials would still return to their original state, or even worsen.
"It seems that we have to find a way to save the local people. Lin Yun sighed.
After entering the city of Hanlu, he was even more shocked by the depression in the city.
Some of the smaller taverns, inns, inns, and inns were closed, and only the monks were left in the city, except for the officials.
Lin Yun was dressed extraordinarily, and the officials around him had already noticed him, but they only regarded Lin Yun as a famous family, and no one dared to come forward to ask for a while.
"Anyway, let's find an inn to stay in. Lin Yun shook his head slowly, but after walking through the city for a long time, he couldn't find any inns and inns that opened their doors to welcome guests.
In desperation, he had to stop a man who seemed to be in good spirits, and asked, "This eldest brother, where is there an inn in this cold dew city where merchants can live?"
Seeing that Lin Yun was neatly dressed, the man naturally didn't have a good attitude, so he only heard him snort coldly and said, "Inn, let alone an inn, now I'm afraid that even the restaurant will not be found in this cold dew city." ”
Lin Yun was stunned, and before he could continue to ask, he saw that the man had already carried the sack away.
After wandering around for a while, Lin Yun rarely found a simple house with an open door, the door of the house was wide open, and a middle-aged woman in the house was busy preparing meals.
It's just that the meal is really not flattering, it looks like it should be a vegetable ball made of wild vegetables and cornmeal.
Lin Yun stepped forward and asked, "This eldest sister, can I stay in your house for a while?" As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and gently pressed it on the stove in the courtyard.
