The children in the village are very precocious, like Xiao Budian, who is only five or six years old, but already knows a lot about the village.

Ye Chen asked, "Then what will happen if your village can't meet the requirements of the Water Moon Dynasty?"

Xiao Budian's immature face showed confusion, and he shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I have heard that there was once a village ten miles away, which also belonged to the Water Moon Dynasty, but because it did not hand over the offerings of the Water Moon Dynasty, it has now disappeared." ”

A five-year-old child still can't understand the specific meaning of disappearing, but Ye Chen can feel that this disappearance is definitely not as simple as being driven away. This disappearance may mean that the entire village was executed by the Water Moon Dynasty.

From this point of view, although there are simple and kind people like the village in this Nine Heavens Demon Realm, they are still more cruel and ruthless.

"How many offerings do you need?" asked Ye Chen.

Xiao Bu nodded and said, "I don't know." ”

This kind of thing is considered a secret, and it must only be known to the village chief and the most important people in the village. As an outsider, Ye Chen is actually not suitable to participate in this kind of thing.

However, Ye Chen has been living comfortably in the village these days, these village names have taken good care of him, and he has also got the news he needs. So if the village encounters any difficulties, he will definitely help.

《

He was originally going to leave in the next two days, but when he encountered this kind of thing before leaving, even if this village was destined for him, Ye Chen would help.

"Little Buddy, hurry up and go home, your Daddy is looking for you!" a woman walked over and shouted at Little Buddy.

Xiao Budian said to Ye Chen: "Daddy is looking for me, goodbye big brother!"

Wait until the little one is gone. The woman said to Ye Chen again: "Young Master Ye Chen, the village chief has something to look for you, let me come and inform you." ”

Ye Chen showed a hint of surprise on his face, the village chief was looking for him? He didn't have anything to do with this village chief, he had only met on the first day he came, and he didn't get along with him since then. What is the village chief looking for himself at this time?

Although I don't know why I'm looking for myself, I think it should be related to the fact that the Water Moon Dynasty came to collect offerings today.

Coming to the village chief's residence, Ye Chen's face showed a trace of solemnity. The village chief was an old man over seventy years old, with a full head of white hair, and a wise elder surnamed Yang.

"Village Chief Yang, I don't know what the matter is to find the kid?" Ye Chen took the initiative to ask.

The old village chief said with a smile: "Ye Gongzi has been coming to my Ciyun Village for half a month, I don't know what to plan for in the future?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Ye Chen heard it. This is going to be an eviction order!

Although he was ordered to be evicted, Ye Chen not only did not feel unhappy, but instead showed a smile on his face. Because the old village chief wanted to let him leave at this time, it was obvious that he was afraid that the village would affect him.

Ye Chen didn't answer the old village chief's words, but turned his head and asked, "I heard that there seems to be some problem in the village, I don't know what the problem is, maybe I can help a little kid." ”

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the old village chief's face showed a trace of astonishment. It was because of this incident that he wanted Ye Chen to leave, so as not to affect Ye Chen. Otherwise, how could the always hospitable Tsz Yun Village take the initiative to let people go?

"It turns out that you all know, then I won't go around the bend with you, today the Water Moon Dynasty will come to our village to collect offerings, but our Ciyun Village's harvest this year is not good, and if we don't complete the requirements of the Water Moon Dynasty, disaster may befall us." So Ye Gongzi, you better leave quickly. The old man said with a complicated expression.

Ye Chen frowned, he felt the helplessness emanating from the old man's tone, and even a trace of despair.

"I don't know what the tribute to the Water Moon Dynasty is, I have some spirit stones on me, if needed. It's just the cost of accommodation on these days. ”

The old village chief shook his head and said, "The tribute that the Water Moon Dynasty collects from us, as long as the Spirit King Rice, the Spirit Stone is useless at all. Lingwang rice is a kind of spiritual rice, and it is also the king of spiritual rice, a bowl of Lingwang rice can even be compared to a spirit-level elixir!"

"This Lingwang rice is very difficult to plant, our Ciyun Village, every year we need to hand over ten catties of Lingwang rice to the Shuiyue Dynasty, in previous years, it was okay, we can collect about ten catties of Lingwang rice every year, even if you occasionally collect nine catties, you can also take the Lingwang rice from the previous inventory and add it to make up ten catties!"

"But I don't know why this year, the harvest of Lingwang rice is too poor, it has reached a very low point in history, only five catties have been collected, even if you add the inventory of Lingwang rice, it is far less than ten catties. ”

Hearing the words of the old village chief, Ye Chen's face showed surprise, he didn't expect that the tribute that the Water Moon Dynasty needed would actually be a kind of rice.

"Then can't we go to the next place to collect Spirit King Rice?" Ye Chen asked his own question.

The old village chief shook his head: "Lingwang rice, it is the seeds that the Water Moon Dynasty configured with your secret recipe, only our subordinate villages can plant it, the dynasty gives so many seeds every year, it is not easy to make up the amount needed by the Water Moon Dynasty, where will there be excess Lingwang rice?"

"Even if some villages have a good harvest this year and collect two catties of Lingwang rice, they will not take it out and sell it, but keep the inventory, in case the harvest is not good in the second year, they can also be emergency!"

There was no way to do this, Ye Chen's brows were also furrowed, it was definitely impossible to gather the tribute.

"If you can't hand over ten catties of Spirit King Rice, then what punishment will the Water Moon Dynasty have?" Ye Chen asked.

Under normal circumstances, the old village chief would definitely be too lazy to talk so much with Ye Chen, maybe now he is helpless, and his heart is full of despair, so he also wants to find someone to talk to. Ye Chen was not from their village, and he didn't need to maintain the majesty of the village chief.

"Unable to hand over the Lingwang Rice, the punishment of the Water Moon Dynasty has always been cruel, once there was a village because the Lingwang Rice did not reach the amount that needed to be handed over, and the entire village was slaughtered. Speaking of this, the old village chief's eyes also showed deep fear.

Although he is the head of a village, he is also the tallest among the short people, and when he is in his seventies, he is only in the realm of refining qi, and it can almost be said that he has no cultivation.

Ye Chen's eyes showed a cold glow, and he said softly: "This Water Moon Dynasty, such an act is too vicious, right? Dealing with his own people, not the enemy, how can he wantonly slaughter the people because of this little thing, isn't this digging his own grave?"

In Ye Chen's view, this is simply tyranny, where does the future of a country that practices tyranny come from? (To be continued...... R1292
