Walk through the path in the field and walk to the shade of the tree. Under the tree sat an old man, with a hoe on his shoulder, smoking a leaf cigarette gloomily. Seeing that the heavenly evil dismounted, he quickly took a few puffs, shook off the ashes in the pipe, and planned to get up and leave.

"Uncle, please stay. Heavenly evil hurriedly smiled and made a gift to the juniors.

"Is there something wrong?" the old man, who had been cautious, relaxed when he saw him like this.

"You are still in the field at such an old age, are there no young and strong people in your family?"

"Hey, if I don't go to the ground, won't the whole family starve to death?" the old man shook his head and sighed.

"That's right, I'm a person who has come to the imperial capital to investigate the people's situation, can you tell me the situation in detail? I will keep them all in mind and report them to the National Assembly so that I can make corresponding policies. ”

"It turned out that he was an official in the imperial capital, I ······" The old man suddenly panicked.

"Don't panic, old man, I'm not the kind of person who is unreasonable. What difficulties do you have, just tell me the truth. Tianxiao said gently, but his heart was a lot colder. The fact that civilians are so afraid of being an official shows that those people must have been in good luck in ordinary times.

"Seeing that you have a kind face, and that you are not like those who are powerful people, I will tell you about it. The old man sat down again, and stuffed the leaves into his pipe.

"Please tell me the truth, and I will definitely ask you for an explanation. ”

"Originally, according to the regulations of Ling Guo, an acre of land produces 200 catties of grain per year, and the surrender is 40%, that is, 80 catties. Under normal circumstances, it's a good deal. But now that the war has been going on for a long time, almost all the young people have been pulled into the battlefield. When it's time to plant, fertilize, weed, and so on, we're too busy for us, young and old. When it comes to autumn, the natural harvest will be less, and it will not reach 200 catties at all, but it will be 150 or 60 catties. However, the grain tax is still paid as normal, which is really unbearable. Originally, I relied on saving more wild vegetables in spring and summer to pickle, and I could barely survive. However, in the past two years, the grain tax in the five cities of Lingzhou has increased from 40% to 50%, which is simply forcing people to a dead end. The old man shook his head and sighed, with a look of bitterness and difficulty.

"Is this the case only in the five cities of Lingzhou?

"I've heard people say that only the five cities of Lingzhou are like this, and other places are still handed over according to the original proportion. ”

"Why is that?"

"I don't know. I only know that this was announced by the Lingzhou Governor, who took office two years ago, and I heard that he is the nephew of the Prince. There must be people who are unwilling to hand over the excess grain for no reason, so he organized a group of people to recover the grain. Those people are ruthless, and I don't know how many people have been injured and disabled by them. Later, no one dared to disobey them, so they had to pay more than one percent of the grain for nothing. ”

"I see, I'm going to do you justice. Heavenly Evil swore an oath.

"But the man is the prince's nephew, can you do anything? The old man asked.

"What about the Prince? This country is not the Prince's, it is the King's. Heavenly Evil said in a deep voice.

The two talked about some problems in farming. In modern times, the high yield of an acre of land is basically more than 300 catties, and any little one is 250 or 60 catties.

Through their production methods, many problems were discovered. For example, they don't know how to use and manufacture fertilizers such as nitrogen fertilizers, but only know how to use traditional farm fertilizers, which are manure.

Tianyi told the old man about some simple cultivation knowledge of that world, and the old man looked at the young man suspiciously, as if he felt that he had some sense. But he still didn't quite believe that a person who had planted all his life didn't know much about a young man, but when it came to those details, he said them so fondly, it seemed that there was really such a thing.

The two chatted from noon to afternoon, until the Heavenly Evil said that he was leaving, and the old man reluctantly let the Heavenly Evil leave. He also said that if you have time, you must try the methods of the Heavenly Cult.

Riding a horse galloping on the field path, there is a feeling of abruptness. He felt as if he was back in nature, back to that free space without any fetters or constraints. Huma stopped and looked at the village monument that was smooth by the sun and rain, with the words "Yixi Village" written on it. Looking at the village at the mouth of the valley, there was indeed a stream flowing slowly from the mountain stream.

When I came to the entrance of the village, judging from the size of the house, it was a little worse than Enya's department. Many of the houses look like they are in disrepair for many years, looking old and dusty.

He tied his horse to the tree at the entrance of the village, and was about to go in to take a look, when he noticed that someone had pulled his pants. Tianxie looked down and smiled slightly: "Is your home here?"

"Well, big brother, what are you doing here?"

"Come here and see, are you playing here?"

"Hmm. To you, thank you big brother for the fructose. Little Ella said happily, taking off the rattan ring around her neck, and raising her hands to the heavenly evil. The Heavenly Evil squatted down, and she put the rattan ring on his head.

"Well, it's beautiful. Did little Ela do it?"

"Does Big Brother like it?"

"Loved it. ”

"How about I make you another necklace?"

"Okay. Let's do it together, will you teach me how to do it?"

"Good. ”

The two of them sat in the grass at the entrance of the village and weaved rattan rings. At this time, there was also something going on in the village that made people dare not speak.

I saw the village chief standing there silently with the adults of the whole village, opposite a dozen people in military uniforms, one of whom was wearing an officer's uniform, was sitting on a chair and looked at the group of people coldly.

"Chief Shiki, there's really no more. As you know, it's been getting worse and worse over the years. Now everyone only puts a handful of rice in each meal, and they live with wild vegetables. If I didn't even have that bit of rice, wouldn't I starve to death? The village chief, Somi, bowed down and said humbly.

"Village Chief Yi, it's been half an hour, and I understand what you want to express. That's what you're saying is that you don't want to pay your taxes, isn't it?" said Toki slowly, as if he wasn't in a hurry, as if everything was expected.

"It's not that you don't want to pay, but you really can't afford it, and I hope that Chief Shimu will forgive me and let us go." On behalf of the whole village, I will definitely thank you for your great kindness. Somi fell to her knees helplessly, begging for words.

When the evil came over with Xiao Ella in his arms, he saw such a scene. Little Ela saw that there was a mother at the front of the group, and immediately squirmed to come down. As soon as the heavenly evil put her down on the ground, she ran over there with a smile: "Mother, I brought my eldest brother here." ”

Just as Little Ella walked past the village chief of Suomy, Shiki glanced at a soldier next to him.

The man smiled cruelly, and at the same time, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he kicked at the running little Ela.

"Ela!" Ila's mother cried out in fright, ran to the flying little body, fell to her knees and cried with her face in her hands. The desperation in that voice, the cry of sorrow, had reached the end and the edge of life.

The Heavenly Evil ran to the side of the small body, and the miserable white chubby little face still had the smile of joy when he saw his mother.

But on the side of the smiling mouth, there was scarlet blood. The heavenly evil hurriedly tested it with its internal qi, and there was still a trace of breath. Her ribs were almost all broken, and the only breath she had was slowly weakening.

Don't die, don't die, the heavenly evil shouted in his heart.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was at the gate of Bay City. He held Xinli in his arms, but he could only watch her slowly die.

The Heavenly Evil urged all the internal qi, carefully maintaining the fragile and insignificant aura.

If you want to save your life, you must first put your ribs in the right position. But he was afraid that if he moved her ribs, she would die in his own hands. But he couldn't hesitate, the more time passed, the faster the body's skills were lost. Take advantage of the present and hurry up.

While maintaining her aura with internal qi, the heavenly evil used spiritual power to inject into her body to move the ribs. It wasn't until the first one was put down, that the breath didn't weaken, and he was so happy that he almost cried.

"Little Ela has to hold on, and the big brother will wait for you to wake up and take you to eat fructose. There are also many fruits that are even better than fructose. Tianxie choked his voice and whispered softly, tears dripping from his eyes on the chubby pale little face.

Shimu looked at the group of stunned people, and said lazily: "Village Chief Yi, can you hand it over, you can say something on behalf of your village." ”

"We ······ We're willing to ······ Delivered. After Village Chief Yi finished speaking, he cried to the ground.

The officer and the dozen or so minions didn't look at the whole thing. It seems that it is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

It wasn't until those villagers brought food from their homes one after another that the heavenly evil did everything. He sat on the ground in prostration, looked at his somewhat flushed face, and laughed. And Ila's mother was still holding her face on the ground in pain.

"Don't touch her, she's saved her life now. Heavenly Evil whispered.

"What?" Ella's mother looked up and saw that her face was a little red, and she was suspicious and excited to touch it with her hands. Tianxie hurriedly grabbed her hand, and then she came to her senses, carefully put her finger next to Yila's nose, and kowtowed to Tianxie happily and cried: "It's great, thank you, thank you." ”

Tianxie really doesn't bother to care about her, so let her release her emotions. And now, he also needs to release the kind of anger in his heart that is enough to destroy the world.

Tianxiao slowly stood up and looked at Shiki coldly: "She's just a child, what did she do wrong?"

Shimu looked at the heavenly evil with interest, and said disdainfully: "If you want to blame, blame their village for refusing to hand over food." ”

"That's an adult's business, does it have anything to do with her as a child?" Tianxie's voice was so cold that it was so cold that even his voice seemed to be talking to himself, just because the anger in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

"What if it matters? What if it doesn't matter? I can do whatever I like, I like it, are you not convinced? It's just a pariah, it doesn't matter how many or less. Only an imbecile fool in this world would ask such a stupid question. Shiki looked at the Heavenly Evil defiantly and said disdainfully. When the other dozen or so soldiers heard this, they burst out laughing.

If that anger needed a trigger, their words served the purpose. Not angry because the heavenly evil was insulted, but because of their contempt for life. Those who fail to respect the value of life do not deserve it.

"Good. After saying this son gloomily, the heavenly evil used the speed of a high-level spirit to teleporte at the little soldier who kicked and injured Yila. He lifted up the laughing man with his hand, and with a flick of his hand, the man flew into the sky.

Heavenly Evil's palm spewed out a snow-bright pillar of light, and the pillar of light expanded farther and wider, instantly submerging the little soldier flying in the sky.

After the light disappeared, there was nothing left, only because he was so dead that he couldn't even see the scum.
