Chapter 28: The Tax Collector Arrives

Liu ...... Aunt Liu, I—I'm not here to deliver spiritual vegetables. The girl stammered, as if ashamed that she didn't send the spirit vegetables.

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman frowned, her smiling face was gone, and she said lightly: "Then what are you doing here?"

"Yes, that's right. The girl swallowed her saliva, looked at the other party expectantly and said, "Aunt Liu, my spirit vegetables have been eaten by green leaf insects, I want to borrow ...... from you."

Bang –

Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed shut, and the sound of bolting was heard inside.

Shi Pojun was stunned for a moment, and when he looked sideways, Xiaocao's thin body seemed to have been hit by a sound, and he trembled suddenly.

After reacting, he was furious, and slammed the door openly: "Hey, what do you mean, don't you save you when you die?"

After smashing for a while and no one answered, Shi Pojun saw that Xiaocao was stunned, and hurriedly comforted: "Xiaocao, this person is not a good person at first glance, let's go to other places to have a look." ā€

"Oh. The girl bowed her head and answered, and then took Shi Pojun to the second house.

"Uncle Li, my spirit vegetable is ...... I'd like to borrow some from you......" the girl asked, still expectantly.

"What? borrow spiritual vegetables, no, no, go away, go away?" said the man known as Uncle Li with an impatient face.

"Hey, how can you be like this, how much grass was lent to you in the first place. Shi Pojun grew up in Tucun, although he was poor since he was a child, the villagers generally helped him, and when he saw these people like this, he immediately frowned.

"Who are you kid, why haven't I seen you?"

"You don't care who I am, it's grass now...... Hey, how do you drive people. ā€

After failing to borrow it twice, the two came to the third house again.

"Brother Wang, my spirit vegetable ......"

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaocao, we don't have much in our family. ā€

"Oh...... That's it. ā€

Fourth.

"What, borrow the spirit vegetable, do you know that I am still waiting for your spirit vegetable to save my life? useless guy, come to me to borrow ......"

Fifth.

"Granny Zhang......"

"Come on, Xiaocao, the old woman is useless, there is only more than one plant, you can quickly take it and make it up. ā€

"Thank you, Granny Zhang. ā€

In this way, the two of them asked one by one, and the girl changed from expectation to pleading, from praying to despair, and finally only got three spiritual vegetables.

What made her even more sad was that most of the families she usually gave to the spirit vegetables not only did not help to find a way when she opened her mouth to borrow them, but also scolded and drove people away with an indifferent face.

Back on the hillside hut, the girl finally couldn't hold back her crying.

Shi Pojun was so anxious that he paused to his feet, and he opened his mouth to comfort: "Xiaocao, Xiaocao, don't cry, you don't have to be afraid, I'll take you away now." ā€

"No, you can't escape. After crying for a while, the girl wiped her tears and said, "Brother Pojun, thank you, you can leave quickly, you are not from here, and it will be okay if you are found by the tax officer." ā€

"Why can't they escape, don't they have two more days to come?" Shi Pojun wondered.

The girl sobbed and said: "I can't escape, those adults above are very powerful, I remember when I was a child, someone in the next village couldn't complete the task and escaped, not only was he quickly arrested, he was killed himself, but also caused the whole village to be reduced to slavery." ā€

"Hey, they don't lend you spiritual vegetables, you still think about them. Shi Pojun sighed weakly, if it were him, he would not cause others to suffer, so he could only continue to be distressed at the moment.

"Maybe you really don't have anything superfluous, it's not so easy to grow spiritual vegetables, and besides, isn't there Granny Zhang who lent them to me? The girl said.

"Xiaocao, you are so kind, even if you reveal your identity, I will definitely not let you have any trouble. Seeing the girl thinking about others so much, Shi Pojun secretly decided in his heart.

It turned out that he didn't plan to reveal his identity, but the master said that let him come to a place where no one knew, that is, others in the province looked at the face of Xinghe Academy, and his kindness indirectly undermined his test.

"Come, don't worry about this, Xiaocao is very happy to know Brother Pojun. The girl wiped her tears, saw Shi Pojun frowning, and comforted with a smile, "Xiaocao has grown so big and planted so many spiritual vegetables, I haven't tasted what it feels like to have spiritual vegetables, let's taste it together." ā€

"Good. Shi Pojun, who had made a decision, also let go of his worries, the two washed the spirit vegetables, and Shi Pojun also ran to the mountain to catch a pheasant, and a hearty meal was quickly prepared.

"Wow, it's delicious, the master thinks the food is not delicious every day, it's hard to eat, if you eat this, you will definitely say it's delicious." Shi Pojun took two bites, felt the fragrance in his mouth, and praised again and again.

He didn't know that at the same time as he spoke, a wave flashed, and at the same time, Tang Chao in the Galaxy Academy muttered to himself: "Is it really so delicious? Is it because this guy has no knowledge, or is it really a problem with the ingredients?"

"Spirit vegetables, spirit fruits, spirit valleys, spirit beasts?"

"Looks like it's going to try. ā€

With the decision of the Tang Dynasty, a flash disappeared from the rocking chair and began to look for ingredients to prepare for experiments.

On Shi Pojun's side, the two of them who put down their minds began to go into the mountains to play in the next two days, and they were amazed when they saw the animals, plants, strange stones, and beautiful scenery they didn't know.

Early in the morning of the third day, the two came out of the mountains and smiled happily in the sun.

However, when the two returned to the hillside where the hut was located, this good mood was broken, and it also pulled the two back to the reality they had to face.

"You stinky girl, where did you die, do you want to run away, do you want to kill everyone?"

Shi Pojun looked at the obese middle-aged man who was scolding, frowned sideways, and said, "Xiaocao, who is he." ā€

"Brother Pojun, he is the village chief. The girl first turned around and explained to Shi Pojun, and then looked at the fat middle-aged man with a calm face, "Village Chief, I didn't run away, otherwise why would I still be here now?"

"Hmph, it's best not to run away, and, who is this kid?" the fat middle-aged man pointed to Shi Pojundao.

After waiting for a while, he saw that Shi Pojun and the two did not talk, and scolded again: "Stinky girl, dare not speak, it's best not to speak, if you talk nonsense in front of adults, be careful that I let people cut your tongue." ā€

After speaking, without waiting for Shi Pojun and the two to react, he walked down the mountain with the two people who came together.

"What kind of person is this, a dog bullying the weak. Shi Pojun clenched his fists and said hatefully.

"Brother Pojun, don't be angry about these little things, the tax officer will be here soon, you hurry up and hide, I don't need you to accompany me." The girl said.

"I'll go down with you, don't worry, I'll be fine. After Shi Pojun finished speaking, he strode down.

repeatedly persuaded Shi Pojun to listen, and the girl could only worry secretly.
