Two days later, Wen Xingxuan was already able to do simple labor on the ground, I don't know if it was because of this body, or what? The wound recovered quickly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Isn't it the day for my father to make contributions today?" Wen Xingxuan asked his father.

"yes! I don't know what to do now?"

"Alas!" Wen Xiaohu sighed heavily. In the past two days, Wen Xiaohu has been limping and catching small animals on the outskirts of the forest, but there is no gain.

"Father, don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and we will get through this difficulty. Wen Xingxuan comforted his father.

Wen Xiaohu shook his head, his heart was full of frustration, how could the two of them, father and son, one with a crippled leg and the other with a crippled hand, survive here?

If the contribution cannot be handed over, the father and son will be driven out of this small village, and when the time comes, they will go to the outside world, out of the protective circle of the soldiers, and their lives will be in danger at any time.

At this time, Wen Xingxuan heard a noisy sound outside.

A person struck the gong and shouted loudly: "The day of the villagers to pay their contributions in a month has come again, and everyone consciously came out to line up and hand in their contributions." ”

Hearing the sound outside, Wen Xiaohu stood up, flipped things in a corner of the simple house, turned out a dozen copper plates from the things, and limped out.

Seeing this, Wen Xingxuan also followed his father out of the door.

In a vacant lot, Wen Xingxuan saw that the villagers had already lined up, waiting to pay the moon tribute.

A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears showed a smile like a pig's head, and was collecting the monthly tribute from the villagers, and next to him stood a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a very vulgar and gorgeous costume.

Behind them was a table where an officer sat with two soldiers with weapons standing to the left and right of the officer.

Wen Xingxuan recognized that the fat-headed and big-eared middle-aged man was the landlord of the village, that is, the person with the most power in the village except for the village chief, because their family was rich.

Every month, the contributions of the villagers are received by the landlord and then handed over to the military sergeants.

Wen Xingxuan saw that most of the villagers paid money, and some of the money was not enough, and some items would be added to offset it, and of course, there were two or three who paid all the goods, because of poverty.

When it was Wen Xiaohu's turn to pay the monthly tribute, the rich man looked at the dozen or so copper plates in his hand, frowned, and said, "Wen Xiaohu, you don't have enough copper plates, and it's still far away! Why do you want to avoid contribution?"

"No, my son just had an accident and used a little money, so my family can only hand over so much for the time being, see if you can give two or three days of grace. Wen Xiaohu lowered his eyebrows and pleaded.

"Hmph!, Wen Xiaohu, you don't know the rules, if you can't hand over the contribution, you won't be included in the scope of protection, since you can't pay the moon tribute today, you will be driven out of the village, and someone will drive the Wen family father and son out of Luoxia Village. ”

The four servants beside the rich man immediately walked up, stretched out their hands and pushed Wen Xiaohu out of the village, and two others walked towards Wen Xingxuan.

"Captain, Master Jun, you can do it, give my family three days!" Wen Xiaohu pleaded directly to the officer sitting there.

"you! If everybody is in arrears like you do, then it's okay. The rich man looked at Wen Xiaohu and wanted to die, so he kicked Wen Xiaohu's ass.

"Ahh

"Father!" Although Wen Xingxuan's injuries had not fully recovered, he didn't know where the strength came from, so he brushed aside the two servants who were grabbing him with one hand and rushed to Wen Xiaohu's side.

"Get out, get out!" Wen Xingxuan pushed away the four servants of the rich man with one hand and helped his father up.

"Chai Yuan, don't deceive people too much. Wen Xingxuan stared at the rich man tightly.

"Yo! the little rabbit cub still wants to rebel, doesn't he?" Chai Yuan didn't want the kid of the Wen family to be so bold, dare to resist, and dare to contradict him.

"Hey, Wen Xingxuan, you waste, you still want to resist today, get out of Luoxia Village! Just wait for the fierce beasts and foreigners outside to turn your father and son into corpses!" A young man in vulgar and gorgeous clothes beside Chai Yuan sneered, his eyes full of hatred.

Ji Qingxuan, who was not far away, came over anxiously at this time, and she begged: "Young Master Chai, can't you be kind?" Brother Xingxuan just lost a hand, don't drive Brother Xingxuan out of the village. ”

"What are you talking about, dead girl? Young Master Chai is sorry, my girl is just talking nonsense. Ji Qingxuan's mother hurriedly ran over and apologized to the young master of the Chai family.

Young Master Chai's eyebrows curled, and the corners of his mouth showed an evil smile and said to Ji Qingxuan: "You don't think it's impossible for me not to drive their father and son out, I can help them hand it in first." ”

"Really, Master Chai, thank you so much. Ji Qingxuan smiled innocently.

"But I have one condition. Young Master Chai continued: "As long as you follow me in the future." His eyes looked at Ji Qingxuan, revealing a strong sense of possessiveness.

Hearing Young Master Chai's words, Ji Qingxuan's heart panicked, she didn't want to follow the young master of the Chai family, "Chai Fang", but if she didn't agree, her Brother Xingxuan would be driven out of Luoxia Village, and she was in a hurry for a while.

"Xuan'er don't agree to his words. Wen Xingxuan was afraid that Ji Qingxuan would agree to Chai Fang for him.

"Ouch! It's rare that Young Master Chai has taken a fancy to my girl, which is a blessing for my family's Xuan'er. Ji Qingxuan's mother looked flattering, smiling at Chai Fang.

Although Ji Qingxuan was only twelve years old, she could already understand some things, the expression on her face changed several times, and finally she opened her mouth to speak.

Wen Xingxuan stretched out his right hand to stop Ji Qingxuan, followed step by step, and sat in front of the officer not far away.

"Master Jun, I want to ask you to give my family three days' time, after three days, my family will pay twice the monthly tribute, do you see if you can be accommodating?" Wen Xingxuan calmly asked the officer who collected the monthly tribute.

"Oh!" The officer glanced at Wen Xingxuan, looking at this boy about fourteen years old, with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, a resolute face, without a little nervousness and frustration, and talked to him about the conditions, feeling very surprised.

Get out of Luoxia Village, don't disturb the decline of Luoxia Village, and affect the lives of the villagers, don't you?" Chai Fang said to the villagers with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

The villagers whispered for a while, and some people said that the Wen family was going to break the rules, but more villagers despised Chai Fang, who didn't know Chai Fang's character! Relying on the wealth and power of the family, he often bullied the villagers and molested girls.

The villagers hated Chai Fang, but no one dared to show their dissatisfaction to their faces.

"Chai Fang, I'm asking for the military master now, not from you! Before the military master spoke, you made a decision, do you have more rights than the adults? Or don't you take the adults in your eyes?" Wen Xingxuan's resolute face showed a hint of sneer.

"You...!" Chai Fang was speechless to Wen Xingxuan.

"My lord, Xiao'er definitely doesn't mean this, Xiao'er just thinks that the Wen family will not be able to hand over the monthly tribute even if it is three more days, let alone double the monthly tribute, so he thinks that Wen Xingxuan is just playing tricks. Chai Yuan hurriedly smiled with the officer.

"Stop!" the officer gestured.

Although Chai Yuan was now smiling at him, Wen Xingxuan's words just now made him feel a little dissatisfied with Chai Fang.

"Do you have the ability to hand over double the monthly tribute after three days?" Looking at Wen Xingxuan, who was missing a left arm, the officer was also very suspicious.

Wen Xingxuan smiled and said: "I am sure that I dare to give advice to you, my lord, if I can't pay double the monthly tribute after three days, it will not be too late for my lord to drive my father and son out of Luoxia Village, so that my lord will not break the rules." ”

"Good! "The officer also wants to see if Wen Xingxuan can hand over double the monthly tribute after three days, why not give him a chance, if he can, he can collect an extra monthly tribute, if not, he has no loss, why not?

"Thank you, sir!" Wen Xingxuan bent slightly at the officer.

"Father, let's go back!" Wen Xingxuan let his father walk in front.

Chai Fang stared at Wen Xingxuan's father and son with a pair of resentful eyes, "Hmph! Look at how you Wen Xingxuan died three days later, and when you leave Luoxia Village, I want your father and son to disappear." "He actually choked Wen Xingxuan, an inferior poor ghost, today, and he was very unhappy.

And it was Wen Xingxuan's reason, it was difficult for him to have a chance to get close to Ji Qingxuan, because Ji Qingxuan liked to follow Wen Xingxuan all day long, and once when he wanted to tease Ji Qingxuan, Wen Xingxuan rushed out and put him down.

Although Wen Xingxuan later besieged and beat his servants, Chai Fang originally thought that Wen Xingxuan would be afraid, but when he wanted to make a move on Ji Qingxuan later, Wen Xingxuan still ran out to protect Ji Qingxuan without fear of death.

Every time Wen Xingxuan was beaten, but even if he was beaten, he would fight with his servants like crazy, and he would also attack him, and Chai Fang did not dare to blatantly kill Wen Xingxuan because of such a thing, because there was a village chief in the village who was more powerful than their Chai family.

Therefore, Chai Fang hated Wen Xingxuan very much.

Although he was temporarily exempted from the fate of being expelled from Luoxia Village, Wen Xiaohu was not happy, and limped back to the simple house.

"Alas!" Wen Xiaohu sighed, his son's performance today was very powerful, it should have been a very happy thing, but this could not solve the problem of Yuegong.

Wen Xingxuan ignored his father's frustration, because in his father's eyes, it was impossible for them to hand over double the monthly tribute after three days.

But he has a way.

The "clouded leopard" is a large beast, fast, with sharp claws, a white cloud-like snow-white fur, very smooth and bright, so it is called the clouded leopard.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to catch the clouded leopard, because it is not only fast, but also very aggressive, if a few big men hold a weapon and catch the clouded leopard head-on, there is a chance that they will not be caught, and they will be injured, and even more life-threatening.

The fur of the clouded leopard was very popular with the aristocracy, who would use the snow-white clouded leopard fur to make clothes and cloaks.

Wen Xingxuan knew that there were actually a lot of resources on the periphery of the woods outside the village, whether it was plants or animals, but there were some that ordinary people could not get casually, such as clouded leopards.

"Well, it's you. Wen Xingxuan regarded the clouded leopard as a target, and the value of a clouded leopard was enough to make his family worry-free for a year or two.

A clouded leopard is worth thirty or forty silver coins, but the fur of a clouded leopard is often worth ten gold coins when it is processed into clothing.
