Lin immediately walked towards the man and said, "Lord Tax Officer, haven't we already paid this month's tax?"

"The rules have changed!

"What?", "How can this be?", "The land hasn't had time to be sprinkled with divine oil this month?", "If this continues, we will die sooner or later." ”...... There was some desperation.

Lin: "Tax collector, we really can't come up with so much divine oil?"

"Xiong Di!" the tax collector shouted.

Behind him, the six Xiong Di, each two people tall, rushed towards the nearby crowd and ran, clattering on the ground. Coming to the crowd, the six beasts, opened their huge mouths, let out a long roar, the sound was deafening, and then raised their huge fists and pounded the ground, so frightened that people fell to the ground.

"Haven't you paid it yet?" the tax collector threatened.

Looking at the frightened clansmen, Yueling's expression was very angry, she wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Lin.

Na Wu and Zi Yuan didn't understand the situation for the time being, and they didn't dare to make a move, for fear of bringing disaster to the small city.

Lin pondered for a long time, and then threw the kettle containing the divine oil over.

"This is what you want, hurry up and get out of here!" Lin said, his expression was already a little angry.

The tax collector took the kettle, weighed it again, and put it in his pocket with satisfaction.

Then, he rode an ostrich to Lin's side, and suddenly kicked Lin in the face fiercely.

Lin could have dodged, but he didn't, and ate the kick motionlessly.

"This is you, this is you, is this the tone you speak to the tax collector?" the tax collector shouted angrily and kicked Lin in the face three more times.

At this moment, blood flowed from Lin's nose, and his face was red from the kick, leaving clear shoe prints.

"Patriarch!" the people whispered worriedly.

"Dad!", "Dad!" Xiao Jia and Xiao Ming were already crying.

Yue Ling couldn't hold back any longer, shouted, and rushed towards the tax collector.

A Xiong Di hurriedly blocked Yue Ling's body, roared, and slapped it with one palm, but Yue Ling deftly dodged it.

Yueling continued to rush towards the tax collector, and was about to approach him.

But......

"Stop!" Lin shouted, and stopped him sharply.

Yueling froze.

She stopped, very helpless, very unwilling, clenched her fists, and tears flowed quietly.

At this time, Xiong Di came behind Yueling, grabbed Yueling, and threw her out.

Nano hurriedly caught Yueling.

"Hahahaha......" the tax collector laughed wildly.

"Listen, stupid pigs!" shouted the tax collector again, "you are the domestic animals raised by Lord Liu Ming, and to be a domestic animal you must have the appearance of domestic animals." I didn't kill you directly, but just cut a few pieces of your flesh, which is already the greatest favor given by Lord Liu Ming, you know?"

As he spoke, the tax collector glanced at the crowd, and the crowd lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Suddenly, the tax collector pointed to a young girl and said, "You!

The girl was terrified, trembling, and came out with a low sob.

This girl is the girl who told Yueling before that she went to pick flowers together tonight, named Qin Xin.

"What are you going to do?" Lin was a little furious.

"Come here!" the tax collector ignored Lin, smiled lewdly, and walked towards the girl.

The girl bowed her head, very frightened.

The tax collector came down from the ostrich and his lewd gaze wandered over the girl. After examining it, he smiled with great satisfaction, then stretched out one hand and lifted the girl's chin, and with the other hand, he struck at the girl's Jiaofeng in public.

"What are you going to do?" Lin 's eyes flashed red, and he roared, very angry.

An aura rushed towards the tax collector.

The tax collector suddenly froze in place, and could not move.

"Lin, do you want to rebel?" said the tax collector, with some horror.

Hearing the tax officer's words, Lin was stunned, calmed down, and retracted his aura.

The tax collector was a little panicked at this time, and did not dare to touch the girl again, so he rode on his camel and said solemnly: "This is the order of Lord Liu Ming, let me bring a girl over." If you dare to disobey, you will do so at your own risk. ”

"Take the girl away for me!" instructed the tax collector to Xiong Di beside him, and then rode around on the ostrich and walked out of the city.

A Xiong Di pushed the girl forward.

The girl cried and looked back at the crowd, her face full of tears.

Lin clenched his fists and creaked, but after all, he was the head of a clan, and for the sake of the entire clan, how could he act impulsively.

The others just looked at the girl sadly, not daring to say anything.

Yueling had already cried.

The orange sunset, hanging on the cliff in the west, shone obliquely in the small city, stretching the girl's shadow slender. The sound of the girl's sobbing lingered in the valley, like a needle, piercing everyone's heart.

She looked back at the small city where she lived again, and said her final goodbyes to the people here, her expression so helpless.

And people couldn't do anything but watch her slowly leave.

She knew that in this world, no one would come out to save her, because no one would dare to disobey the order of the adult.

Thinking of this, she turned her head back in despair, and took a step forward under Xiong Didi's tugging.

......

"Stand - live ——!"

Under the orange sky, in the quiet valley, a long cry suddenly appeared, hovering between heaven and earth, like the bell of dawn, breaking the confinement of darkness and bringing light to the whole world.

Everyone, whether the tribesmen or the tax collector, set their sights on the source of the sound.

People widened their eyes, but they were surprised to find that the person who spoke was only a little boy with tears on his face.

The boy grew up with a small mouth, and with all his strength, he shouted, snot and tears flew everywhere.

"Sister!"

The little boy rushed out of the crowd and ran towards the girl, his thin body, every step forward, like a drum stick, beating on people's hearts.

Everyone was silent......

The boy cried, clenched his little fists, and rushed to the tax collector.

The tax collector doesn't care who you are, and he rides on the ostrich and kicks at the boy.

Everyone looked at the boy with concern......

Time stretched out in this moment.

"If I can't even protect a child, and I can't even have the courage of a child, then what's the point of me protecting the village!"

A strong aura spread out in an instant.

At the foot of the forest, a cloud of dust was suddenly lifted, and his tall figure, without any scruples, rushed towards the boy.

The screen flashed.

Lin hugged the boy, one arm blocking the kick.

Lin raised his head and looked fiercely at the tax collector.

The tax collector was taken aback and hurriedly whipped the ostrich to leave.

But

Lin had already grasped his arm firmly with one hand.

"Get out of here!"

Lin roared and dragged the tax collector off the ostrich, and then the green tendons burst out and threw him out of the city.

The tax collector screamed, and his body disappeared into the town with a whoosh, like a flying feather arrow, and he didn't know where it fell.

Seeing this, those Xiong Di gathered around the forest.

And the people in the city, who were no longer afraid at this moment, picked up farm tools and knives one after another, and rushed over.

Seeing this, Xiong Di immediately fled out of the city in a gloomy manner.

"Brother!"

The girl cried and hugged the boy tightly.

"Sister!"

The two hugged each other and cried.

Although Lin saved the two siblings, his face quickly darkened, and he didn't dare to look at his own people.

"Good job, Patriarch!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

Lin was a little startled, and looked at the clansmen, only to find that each of them had a smile on their faces.

"Well done!", "worthy of our patriarch!...... Everyone cheered.

"You guys!" Lin smiled slightly.

Looking at this scene, Na Wu and Ziyuan also smiled.

Nano touched Yueling's head.

"Why are you touching me?" Yue Ling still had tears in her eyes, and looked up at Na Wu, a little surprised, a little confused, but she didn't stop Ming Wu.

"Uh...... I accidentally touched it. Nano smiled a little embarrassed.

"What are you going to do next?" Zi Yuan said with some worry in his words.

"What the hell is going on here, and who is that Liu Ming?"
