The joy of life lies not only in the novelty of all things, but also in the impermanence of the world.

On that day, the boy was chased like a lost dog, and it was only half a month for a thousand miles.

Now he is on the road with his bare hands, but he is delayed all the way, like a turtle crawling.

Yangzhou has been rich since ancient times, like a mature plump beauty, and has won the favor and love of the emperors of all dynasties, and the ambitious monarch can neither bear nor want to hurt her. Therefore, the chaos is like a fantasy for the people here, and they have only heard of it but have never seen it.

Since the abolition of the emperor's edict was made public, various places have recruited troops and horses, temporarily increased taxes, and regional differences are obvious.

In particular, Yangzhou and Qingzhou, which are adjacent to each other, only recruited 1,000 cooks, and only the merchants were charged 10% of the taxes, while the latter not only conscripted 200,000 soldiers, but also doubled the taxes, and the counties were much the same.

As the commander-in-chief, Lin Ruhai also proposed that this approach might not be appropriate, but unfortunately he was immediately choked by the other five shepherds.

Although the words are euphemistic and subtle, they are not very good.

The idea is that you can make those soldiers who pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers obediently work for you? What do you have to do with the little money and food you have dispatched? We didn't ask you for money and food, you still think you're losing face?

As a result, Lin Ruhai, who was in power, had no choice but to move the topic quietly and quickly.

Originally, Ye Xiaochuan traveled lightly, thinking that he would not worry about eating and drinking anywhere with his skills.

He had already learned from a book called "Chronicles of the Great Xia Kingdom" that there were no formal cultivation sects in the Great Xia Kingdom, only some gangs of uneven levels, all of which were ordinary practitioners who did not have a climate, and even the monks who had washed the marrow of the heavens were rare in a lifetime.

And all the monks who can step into the double heaven of washing the marrow by chance are all the guests of the giants and nobles, and they are generally not young, and they usually lie in the courtyard of the deep house to enjoy the blessings.

So there was not much pressure on the boy's return trip.

But since such a powerful boy hit the Yangzhou boundary, he basically never ate and slept well. It's not that I don't have anything to sleep on, it's that I can't eat and sleep.

Where can the originally barren and barren land withstand the layers of exploitation by the gentry and government, and there is a flood of refugees everywhere.

The boy looked at the desolate scene in front of him, and knew that this was the beginning of the great famine, and he was still as powerless as before.

It's still not strong enough.

The young man who thought he was ruthless opened his eyes again and again, and the scenes in front of him made him stop again and again.

The trip was delayed, the bad things continued one after another, the mood was getting worse, and the only unexpected gain was probably that the cultivation was exhausted a lot.

There's no way, there are too many "heads", and it's hard for you to develop if you don't want to.

And Changyi County is impartially located in the center of Qingzhou, and the young man is tired of walking, but there is no way to hide. Fortunately, he met not only the victims who evaded taxes and the vicious cool officials, but also those Taoist priests and monks who were not very good at Taoism, and a young man who called himself a ranger left a deep impression on him.

At that time, he had just killed a group of thieves in a barren mountain and a ruined temple, and was about to absorb the power of that weak qi and blood, when he suddenly realized it, he was slightly frightened, turned his head to look out of the door, and shouted: "Who is sneaking around?"

"It's reckless, I can't imagine that such a small place can meet such a talented person as Shaoxia. ”

A thin man with a round face, about the same age as him, dressed in bloated and funny clothes, looked like a scoundrel who could be seen everywhere outside.

Ye Xiaochuan stepped forward with a smile, but the other party hurriedly retreated to open the distance, and asked as he retreated: "There is no malice in the bottom, why does the young man still want to kill them all?"

"When did I say I was going to kill you?" the young man's face was full of bewilderment, as if he was puzzled.

"I thought you were a fair gentleman!

The round-faced thin man spat on the ground, his face full of disdain, and continued: "What are you pretending to be in front of your Uncle Hu?

"Then come here, let's talk about it. Ye Xiaochuan squeezed his fists and twisted his neck without smiling, and the naked threat was self-evident.

"Okay. "The round-faced thin man is really stupid, and he came over.

This makes the teenager a little embarrassed, isn't it really good to compare with a person with a bit of IQ?

Just when he was a little entangled, he suddenly received a hard punch in the nose, and suddenly his nose bleeded, tears were in his eyes, the young man covered his nose with one hand, and pointed to the hateful thin man who immediately fled ten meters away after a blow, and said in a thick nasal voice: "You...... It's over!"

After that, Ye Xiaochuan chased him for dozens of miles, but he couldn't catch him. This guy was as slippery as a loach, and every time it was always a little bit closer, almost catching the corner of his clothes.

"Your uncle! Don't run!" Ye Xiaochuan was a little crazy, damn, he had never seen such a brazen person when he was so big.

"I'm not convinced that you're coming to bite me!" the round-faced thin man grimaced at him, shouting unscrupulously, he didn't even breathe after running for so long.

Ye Xiaochuan is not stupid, and finally understood at this time. However, he was afraid that the other party would make trouble for him in turn, so he pretended to be confused and said viciously: "Do you dare to leave your name?"

"In Xia Hu Chedan, the Mojia Ranger. The round-faced thin man replied after a slight groan.

Ye Xiaochuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, this name was even more than his previous one, and it was fake when he heard it.

However, this is a cliché.

He now knows that he is invincible, and he is retreating, and at this time, he only thinks about following the vine and slipping away.

"Hmph, for the time being, I can't catch you because of my lack of strength, but if the mountains don't turn around, we will have a period later! Next time, you may not have such good luck. ”

"Haha, the green mountains don't change, and the green water flows forever......"

Ye Xiaochuan, who had already turned around and walked a few steps, quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, fortunately, he finally passed the test in a fool's way.

"Wait a minute......" The thin, round-faced man seemed to reminisce.

Ye Xiaochuan was taken aback, but his reaction was not slow, he didn't say a word, he ran away, and the two began to chase each other one after the other as before.

However, this time, the teenager's spirit turned into a panic.

Ye Xiaochuan looked at the familiar barren mountains and ruined temples that were slowly enlarging in front of him, and finally gave up escaping, intending to fight against the water.

"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have attacked you just now. Who knows, the round-faced thin man actually arched his hands and apologized to him one by one. Judging from the expression or the voice, it seems to be a sincere voice from the bottom of my heart.

However, Ye Xiaochuan didn't dare to take it lightly, and he didn't take it lightly, but just stared at the other party with a wary expression.

"Well, I just wanted to apologize to you, who would have thought you were running so fast. That's it, in Xia Hu Sanduo, farewell!"

Ye Xiaochuan was still indifferent to this, and it wasn't until the other party really disappeared on the distant horizon that he sat down and gritted his teeth, "Okay, you Hu Sanduo, the Mo family ranger, right?

The round-faced thin man in the distance suddenly sneezed, and said to himself in a strange way, "Damn, which bastard is this cursing me? No, no, he doesn't know my real name......
