Chapter 6 The Burned Grain

"What?" Father Yang heard the news, as if he was hit by a thunderbolt from the sky, and almost fainted, there, it was the whole village that came out to prepare the tax for the Qin family, standing 80% of the grain output of the entire village this year, what if there is not?

"Hurry up and put out the fire!!! Father Yang finally steadied himself, called Aunt Yang and Yang Tianling, and rushed over in the direction of the warehouse!!

"Why hasn't it rained yet?!" Daddy Yang complained to God in his heart while helping to pass the bucket, tonight, there has been only thunder and wind, fire and wind, burning more and more vigorously, heavy rain seems to be brewing, but it has not been able to fall!

The fire burned all night, the warehouse that gathered the tax grain of the whole village was burned down overnight, and at this time the sky fell into darkness, and after a burst of thunder, the torrential rain that had been brewing all night finally poured down at this moment, but it was too late, and the warehouse in Yangjia Village had been burned to the ground......

The whole village sat in the pouring rain and stared blankly at the blackened warehouse......

"God, is it possible that even you have given up on our Yangjia Village?!!", Father Yang knelt on the ground and raised his head to the sky and shouted......

"Daddy......" Yang Tianling followed behind, looking at his adoptive father in the rain, an inexplicable feeling appeared in Yang Tianling's heart, at this time his face was already soaked, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears......

"Heavenly Spirit...... Let's go back and change our clothes first......" Aunt Yang came to Yang Tianling's side and said softly, and it could be seen that Aunt Yang was just holding back her worries.

"But......" Yang Tianling frowned, looked at Daddy Yang who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Aunt Yang, "Auntie, what should Daddy do?"

"Don't worry, Tianling, you go back to change into clean clothes and sleep first, if you are cold, you will also have to worry about Auntie and Daddy......" Aunt Yang said, turning her head to look at Daddy Yang, "Your Daddy's side, I will watch it, don't worry......"

"That'...... In that case, I'll go back first......"

"Well, let's go......" Aunt Yang gently pushed Tianling's shoulder......

"Then I'll go......" Yang Tianling said, blocking his forehead with his hand, walked back, took a few steps, and looked back at Daddy Yang who was kneeling on the ground, "Daddy......"

Looking at Daddy Yang kneeling on the ground, Yang Tianling couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness, in the past few years, Yang Tianling has never seen his adoptive father like this, although Daddy Yang's body is thin and thin, but in Yang Tianling's mind, this adoptive father is so powerful, although Yangjia Village does not have a village chief, but he is in charge of the entire village, human beings can not rely on fighting spirit to move in the water for too long, but without fighting spirit, he can break common sense and come and go freely in the water like a fish......

In Yang Tianling's mind, this father is omnipotent!!

"Alas......" Looking at Yang Tianling who was leaving, Aunt Yang finally sighed and came to her wife's side......

"There will always be a way...... Aunt Yang comforted Daddy Yang in a tone that she didn't believe......

"Alas...... What can be done?" Father Yang sighed, "The group of people surnamed Qin, you don't know it, this year there is a bumper harvest everywhere, we are short of food, they have even done the slaughter of the village......"

Listening to Father Yang's words, Aunt Yang lowered her head and couldn't speak anymore, before, there was indeed such a village, because of natural disasters did not hand over the food, this lord surnamed Qin, not only did not help, but also in a fit of anger, ordered the Qin family army to slaughter the entire village, this incident shocked the entire civilian neighborhood at that time, but, in the aristocratic class, this is nothing, in their opinion, the lives of civilians are the same as ants, they can trample to death as much as they want, anyway, a group will emerge after a while.

"What should I do then?" Aunt Yang asked, at this time, the villagers who came to put out the fire were basically already around Father Yang......

"For today's sake, I'll go to Qin Kang later...... That's the only way......" Father Yang said, his eyes became firm, Qin Kang, is the lord of the southern part of the Nick region,

"I'll go find Qin Kang and see if he can give us a few days of leniency...... Since there is a bumper harvest everywhere this year, old woman, you go to Zhang Xian, the village chief of Zhangjia Village, I have a friendship with him, explain the situation to him, and borrow as much grain as you can!" Father Yang said, "Others, also go to relatives and friends in other villages, how much can they borrow...... Let's get together, and hopefully we can get ......"

Everyone listened carefully to what Father Yang said, but when they heard Father Yang say that he was going to find Qin Kang, they couldn't help frowning......

"Daddy Yang, are you going to find Qin Kang? he doesn't know what to do to you......"

"No, I have to go, now, there is no other way......" Father Yang said

"Do you want us to completely abandon Yangjia Village and run away?!! "Father Yang said in the end, and became stern, although they are small here, and the houses are simple, but they are always the ancestral house and ancestral land left by their family for generations, if there is a way, they really don't want to give it all up......

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that for now, there is only one way to do this, and if they can, no one wants to give up, after all, this is their home......

"Don't worry, Qin Kang may not be able to do anything to me, after all, what he wants is food, and if he kills me, he will receive one less grain in the future. Father Yang said, it seems that he is confident, but in fact, there is no bottom in his heart, a lord like Qin Kang, they do whatever they want, if they are happy, they may be exempted from their sins and forgive them for a period of time, if they are not happy, they will immediately send troops to slaughter the village......

Heavy rain...... It was still pouring down, but the people of Yangjia Village, standing in the wind and rain, completely ignoring the big raindrops on their faces and bodies, listening to Daddy Yang's task assignment, a group of people were like ant nests smashed by stones, regardless of the wind and rain, ran out in all directions, and each went to complete his task......

The people in the village had gradually dispersed, Father Yang sighed "sigh", looking at the troops led by Qin Wei, Father Yang stood up, ignoring the mud and rain on his body, and said to Aunt Yang next to him, "Take care of the ...... of Tianling"

On the other hand.

In a small cave, a middle-aged man in bright clothes stood there, looking a little plump, but not fat......

In the cave, there is a pool of water about three or four meters in diameter, and the strange thing is that a seven-colored light actually emerges from the bottom of the pool, and the pool water looks very beautiful......

It's just that the gorgeously dressed man, looking at this beautiful pool, actually frowned all the time......

"It seems that it has failed again......" said a man standing behind him in equally bright clothes, who was small and thin, and although he had a one-handed sword tied to his waist, he could not see any fighting power in him......

"Failed again, how many times has this been?" the plump man sighed as he looked at the colorful pool......

"Li Feng, tell his family that he sacrificed to protect me, pay more pensions, and can't treat his brother badly......" The plump man was Qin Wei, he sighed and said to the thin man behind him......

"Yes, master, I know......" The thin man named Li Feng arched his hand, answered, looked at the colorful pool water, and sighed again, "Who is it...... Who laid down the barrier!"
