Chapter 230: Robbery while the fire is on
The young man's face was pale, his heart was beating like a drum, and his legs trembled with fear, and he could hardly stand still.
But when he thought of the villagers in the village who were still waiting for money and food to save their lives, he could only hold back his fear and speak with difficulty.
"Fight, fight, fight! Don't try to scare me, we're not afraid of death! ”
His voice trembled because he was so scared.
Yu Yuan looked at him with a smile: "Are you sure that you are not afraid of death?" Look back at your companions, they look scared of death. ”
The young man turned his head to look at everyone, and saw that they were all retreating, apparently frightened by the arrow that Yu Yuan.
They are all flesh and blood, and if they are unfortunately shot by an arrow, even if they do not hit the vital point, they will not survive.
Because they don't have a doctor, once they are injured, it means that there is no one to treat them, and they can only wait for death.
The young man asked angrily and loudly.
"When those officials forcibly took away our land, you chose to retreat!
When the government forcibly requisitioned the strong men in our family, you also chose to retreat!
Now we have no land, no home, all gone!
Do you want to retreat? ”
These words were loud, as if every word was filled with blood and tears.
The crowd paused.
yes, they have nothing left.
If they go any further, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
The young man said loudly: "If we can't bring back the money and food, our wives, children, and parents will all starve to death and die of disease, do you want to see that happen?" ”
Everyone replied in unison: "No! We want money, we want food! ”
The young man only wanted to think about the direction where Yu Xuan and Lu Yao were, and there was ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Then grab all their money and food!"
Like jackals, tigers and leopards, the rogues fiercely stepped over the trees in front of them, and pounced on Lu Yao with sticks!
Lu Yao hurriedly swung his sword to protect himself.
Yu Yuanxuan, Angelica, and the little scholar also joined the melee one after another.
As for Luo Pingsha, he directly flew over everyone's heads with light skills and landed in front of the young man.
The young man wanted to resist, but he had never practiced martial arts, and he was not Luo Pingsha's opponent at all.
Luo Pingsha snatched the other party's axe, and then grabbed the young man's neck and said coldly.
"If you make any more disturbances, I will kill him."
Seeing this, those rogues stopped moving.
The young man could clearly feel the strength of the hand that was holding his neck, and he could pinch his neck at any time if the other party wanted to.
In the face of the threat of death, he refused to retreat.
"Folks! Leave me alone, go and grab the money and food, with money and food, everyone can live! ”
Seeing that the rogues were still a little hesitant, Yu Yuyu hurriedly interjected.
"Wait a minute! You just said that the government forcibly took away your land and captured your family's strong men, what is going on? ”
The young man stiffened his neck and said, "What does this have to do with you?!" ”
Yu Yuanyu: "I guess, you don't only need money and food now, but also a doctor, right?" The brother next to you is a doctor, he is very good at medicine, as long as you don't mess around and make it clear to us, he will treat you and prescribe medicine, how about it? ”
These words poked at the weakness of young people.
Many of the villagers are sick and in urgent need of medical treatment, but it takes a lot of money to see a doctor and get medicine, and they have no money, so they can only take risks to rob the road.
The young man was skeptical: "Why should I believe you?" ”
Yu Yuanxuan didn't know what to do to prove what she said, so she could only cast a plea glance at Luo Pingsha for help.
Luo Pingsha said with a wooden face: "Inside my luggage, there is a medical box. ”
Angelica immediately ran to the side of the carriage.
She rummaged through Lopinsha's luggage and found a heavy medical kit.
Angelica put the medicine box in a place where everyone could see, opened the lid, and revealed the contents inside, including pulse pillows, silk threads, gauze, small scissors, silver needles, some commonly used medicines, and so on.
These are indeed the things that doctors use.
The young man finally believed Yu Yuan's words.
He gave up resisting, raised his hands, and said.
"As long as this doctor is willing to help our relatives heal, whatever you want to know, I can tell you."
Seeing this, the rest of the rogues also laid down their weapons one after another.
Yu Yuanxuan nodded at Luo Pingsha.
Luo Pingsha understood and let go of the young man.
He walked over, picked up the medicine box, and said to the rogues.
"Send all your patients here, we have other things to do, we don't have time to delay here for too long, you move quickly."
The young man was overjoyed and immediately ordered the people to hurry back.
Most of the rogues were gone, and only the two little girls were still with the young man.
Yu Yuanxuan had already put away his bow and arrows.
She saw the skinny appearance of the other three people, and said to Angelica.
"Go get the dry food and water from the car."
Angelica soon brought a bulging cloth bag.
Yu Yuanxuan took out six steamed buns from them and distributed them to the three people.
As soon as the three of them saw the steamed buns, their eyes were red.
They didn't have time to say thank you, grabbed the steamed bun and ate it in a big gulp, almost choking because they ate too quickly.
After some gobbling up, the six steamed buns were quickly eaten.
The three of them were clearly unsatisfied.
But Yu Yuanxuan didn't take out the steamed buns again, she asked.
"Who the hell are you?"
Because of eating steamed buns, the three of them seemed to be in a lot of energy, and the young man at the head had become more confident in speaking.
"My name is Xia Haisheng, and these two are my cousins.
We originally lived in Xiajia Village, but all our land was taken away by the government.
We could not afford to pay taxes and were forced to become tenant farmers.
But it didn't take long for the government to send people to recruit soldiers and capture many strong men.
As a result, there are not enough people to cultivate the land, and we cannot cultivate so many fields with water and electricity bills.
In the end, he couldn't even be a tenant farmer.
We were forced to leave the village and fall into the grass. ”
Hearing this, Yu Yuanxuan was already abrupt, it seemed that the village they had passed through before was Xiajia Village, and the reason why there was no one in the village was because the villagers had fled.
Lu Yao frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask.
"Good manner, why does the government want to take away your land?"
Speaking of this, Xia Haisheng became angry.
"In the past few years, the weather has not been beautiful, and the harvest in our fields is very bad, and even eating enough has become a problem.
However, instead of reducing taxes, the government has increased taxes by a large amount.
Many families have been forced to sell their sons and daughters and land.
Those landlords took advantage of the fire to rob and deliberately bought our land at a very low price. ”
Luo Pingsha said in a deep voice.
"The imperial court has clearly stipulated that the transaction price of private land shall not be lower than 70% of the average market price.
The purpose of this law is to prevent the malicious and malicious annexation of a large amount of land.
You can go to the government and report it. ”
