First came up a dish of pork stewed vermicelli and cold radish and cabbage, as well as a few bowls of coarse rice, these meals are usually not eaten by most of the villagers in Taohua Village, so everyone did not wait for the dishes to be served, they all hurriedly rushed up and ate them, Yao's mother was also hungry, beckoning them to eat together.

Lin Yao has been a little mouthful these days, and she has no appetite when she looks at these dishes, but she is not hypocritical, so she also eats them.

"Everyone, stop for a moment." While eating, Uncle Bolt stopped everyone with a wine glass, and Liu Zhuang with a serious and introverted face was standing behind him.

Uncle Bolt said happily, "Folks, today is the day of my eldest son's marriage, I thank you for taking care of my son in the past few years, come, I toast you with a glass of wine!"

"I also toast the folks, thank you for your care." Liu Zhuang also raised his glass.

As he spoke, the two of them raised their heads and poured them down.

When the villagers saw this, they all raised their bowls and followed suit.

"Huh? Why don't you see Sister Zhao come out? She must not be the happiest when Liu Zhuang gets married, why is there no figure? At this time, a villager asked aloud, everyone happened to have just quieted down because of Uncle Bolt's shout, so everyone heard this voice clearly.

"You don't know yet? Oh, I forgot that you didn't come yesterday, this strong man has pretended to be pitiful and bullied the fierce son since he was a child, and this was exposed by Yao Yatou yesterday, so I guess this Zhao girl is still angry!" As she spoke, she glanced at Uncle Bolt, "This bolt can be regarded as having concentration, you can see how bright his smile is today, as if nothing happened." ”

Hearing this, Uncle Bolt's smile instantly stiffened on his face, in the end, he was an authentic farmer, and when he heard this, he was already uncomfortable, and he couldn't laugh anymore, so he sat down and lowered his head to eat without speaking.

The person next to him saw the villager who stabbed the talker, and said, "Hehe, what are you talking about, on this happy day, let's eat, this Liu family's mat is not stingy, we usually can't eat it." ”

"Yes, yes, let's eat." In the end, it is a happy event, even if the villagers don't like this Liu Zhuang very much, they still can't lose Uncle Bolt's face too much.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zhuang couldn't pretend anymore, his face sank in place in an instant, and his eyes stared gloomily at Lin Yao, who was eating carelessly, as if he wanted to stare her out of a skeleton.

Lin Yao didn't care about him, like a clown jumping off the beam, but Xiao Moyao would not let Liu Zhuang wantonly threaten his little girl, and hurriedly shot a cold look over.

That bloodthirsty look made Liu Zhuang feel a little weak in his legs in an instant, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, this Xiao Moyao is just a mountain man, how can his momentum be so terrifying?

"What are you doing here! Go and toast the folks!" When Uncle Bolt on the side saw it, he yelled at him with hatred, and he didn't care if he was disgraced.

God knows how angry he was yesterday when he knew about his eldest son's vicious behavior, and his mother-in-law was so angry that she couldn't get out of bed this morning, but his eldest son was able to marry like a nobody, and it had to be his second son, who got up early and kept his mother's bedside.

Hearing Uncle Bolt's roar, Liu Zhuang instantly stiffened in place, a little unable to believe that the father who had always pampered him and was reluctant to say a heavy word to himself would blame him in front of everyone like this, and it was on his big day.

Liu Zhuang felt the fingers and fingers of the villagers around him, his face was like a palette, blue and white, and his gums were about to be crushed, but he knew that he couldn't have a seizure.

So Liu Zhuang endured disgust and shame and respectfully toasted from table to table, and the villagers also saluted back with a smile on their faces.

This scene made Lin Yao very relieved, this Liu Zhuang can be regarded as a betrayal of his relatives now, this is also his due retribution, and she can be regarded as avenging the original owner.

After eating the mat, the villagers touched their mouths with satisfaction and prepared to leave, but they were all stopped by the village chief.

"Folks, there was news from the town yesterday, saying that the saint is going to collect taxes today, and it is required that by the middle of this month, each household will pay a per capita ** land tax, each person is 100 silver coins, and the children will be halved, and those who can't take out the silver money can also take five stones of forage and four stones of rice as collateral."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers suddenly lost the joy and leisure of the banquet they had just eaten, and they were all mourning all over the place, and exclaimed in surprise, "What? And to collect taxes again? Didn't you just receive it once half a year ago? Why haven't you received it again before it has been a year? ”

"Yes, village chief, and the tax has almost tripled, we can't even eat, where will we get the money to pay the tax? It's not going to let us live......"

"Miserable, how can we live here, I'll die!" A woman said that she looked excited and was about to hit a tree, but she was quickly stopped by the villagers next to her.

"Aunt Chen, you still have two little dolls to raise at home, but you can't just disappear like this." The villagers on the side were busy persuading.

"Yes, it's really not good, let's work hard together, let's help get through this difficult time, don't die easily, it's not worth it."

"You said it lightly, I'm the only adult left in my family, and there are two little dolls, how can I get these two hundred dollars, woo woo woo ......"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yao couldn't help frowning, she remembered that the current emperor had just ascended the throne half a year ago, and this just ascended the throne without regard for the people's livelihood and reformed like this, it really didn't look like the demeanor of a Ming monarch.

Xiao Moyao, who was on the side, listened to the words of the village chief, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his narrow eyes, but he disappeared in an instant, and no one noticed his strange appearance.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, be quiet." The village chief finally spoke, and the villagers also fell silent, looking at him eagerly as if they had a backbone.

"Village chief, can you go and discuss with the county magistrate, let us pay less taxes, we ......?"

"How can I say it?! This is a clear rule, and the documents have already been sent to the county government." The village chief glanced at the villagers who spoke with a little dissatisfaction, and then looked at the villagers with a serious face and said, "Folks, everyone should hurry back and collect the tax money, if you don't pay the tax on time, you all know the consequences, not only will all the revenue be confiscated, but you will also be pulled into the coolie camp to serve as a coolie for a year." ”

Su Shi on the side looked at the villagers with sad faces, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes, it was really a group of poor ghosts.

"Okay, I've also been informed, so you guys should prepare early." With that, the village chief led the Su family away.

The villagers also knew that they could only obediently go back to prepare the tax money now, so they all dispersed.

Lin Yao didn't go back with Yao's mother, but walked with Xiao Moyao, and the two slowly walked to the river together.

"Xiao Moyao, you are a general, you must be very familiar with the current emperor, right? Is he for Mingjun? Lin Yao asked as she walked, her smart apricot eyes were as calm as water at the moment, but her slightly frowning eyebrows exposed her worries at the moment.

"It's not." Xiao Moyao gently spit out two words.

Lin Yao's face was a little worried, "Then the people of this Great Yuan Kingdom are going to suffer." ”

Xiao Moyao lowered his head and touched her cheek, his voice was low but firm, "No." ”

"Huh?" Lin Yao looked at him with some confusion, "No?" In an instant, her eyes widened in surprise, and she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Do you want to rebel?" ”

Except for letting that faint monarch step down, Lin Yao couldn't think of a way not to save the people of the Great Yuan Kingdom from being poisoned.

Xiao Moyao slightly hooked the corners of his lips, took Lin Yao's little hand, looked forward with narrow eyes, and said in a low voice, "If there really is such a day, will you support me?" ”

At this moment, Xiao Moyao exudes the breath of a superior person, with a sense of nobility that looks down on the world, but it gives people a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but instead held his big palm, and looked at him with a fixed gaze, "We have already made a marriage, unless we have no relationship, I will definitely accompany you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Moyao suddenly felt a warm current in his heart, and then leaned over and kissed Lin Yao's forehead, looking at her with a fixed gaze, "I, Xiao Moyao, will only have one wife for you in my life." ”

Lin Yao hooked the corners of her lips, her heart bubbled happily, she hurriedly stretched out her arms to hug his narrow waist, rubbed her little head in his arms, and said in a low but firm voice, "I will also be loyal to you." ”

The two hugged each other like this, quietly enjoying this quiet and beautiful time.

After a long time, the corners of Lin Yao's lips pursed, she came out of Xiao Moyao's arms with a little apprehension, looked up at him, her eyes had some complicated meanings, and asked, "Xiao Moyao, in fact, I am not Lin Yao, I am not from this world, do you believe in the matter of borrowing corpses to return souls?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Moyao's pupils shrank and he was stunned for a moment.

And he was stunned, which made Lin Yao take a step back slightly, and couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, sure enough, even if it was the God of War, it was not that he couldn't accept his weird facts.

Feeling Lin Yao's loneliness and panic, Xiao Moyao hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yaoyao, don't believe me, I will be sad." As he spoke, he kissed the top of Lin Yao's head, and said, "Actually, I have long noticed that you are special, and I have also thought about some supernatural reasons, but I don't believe in any strange powers, but ......" He pushed Lin Yao out of his arms, looked at her seriously and said word by word, "Yaoyao, I love you as a person, your soul, so no matter who you are or where you come from, I still love you and will never change." ”

Lin Yao's eyes were moist instantly, she looked at Xiao Moyao's confession to her in a daze, her heart exploded with joy, she picked up Xiao Moyao's big palm and put it on her cheek, rubbed it, and the tears fell down her face to Xiao Moyao's palm, which made Xiao Moyao's heart hurt suddenly.

Lin Yao smiled, and her voice choked slightly, "Xiao Moyao, it's good to have you, thank you." ”

Seeing his little girl crying like this, Xiao Moyao hurriedly stretched out his other hand to wipe the tears on her face, and coaxed in a low voice, "Little flower cat, don't cry, I'll be distressed." ”

Lin Yao pursed her lips and laughed, she rubbed her little head on Xiao Moyao's chest, wiped her snot and tears on his clothes, and then raised her little face that was flushed with crying and looked up at Xiao Moyao, her wet apricot eyes looked at him like that, and said in a domineering tone, "Xiao Moyao, kiss me." ”
