Volume 2: The Flame Blooms the Blood River Chapter 48: Forced Grain Requisition

"Auntie, it doesn't matter, Xiaodi told me about your situation before, I've been thinking, can't the rest of the people in the village give you some food?" Ye Qingfeng asked.

Xiao Di stepped forward at this time, picked up a towel and wiped his face, and then interjected. "Brother, there are only three families left in the village now, and basically all those who can go are gone, my father is in the army, and my mother is afraid that my father will not find us when he comes home, so she has been insisting here. Moreover, the crops are all crushed by the snow, and there is not much food for everyone's family, and the officers and soldiers now have to come to collect grain every three days, and they are almost to the point of eating dead children, so how can the people in the village have food to distribute to us?"

Ye Qingfeng heard Xiao Di's words, his heart was sour, what he said was not unreasonable, if in the face of death's desire to survive, who would take care of human nature? "Yes, kindness and quality, most of them are built on a superior life, and when you can't take care of yourself, who cares about others. So, I'm going to stew a lion's leg for you. ”

When the woman heard this, she smiled embarrassedly again. "I'm sorry for you, but you're a guest, and you're giving us food, so why are you embarrassed to let you work? ”

When Ye Qingfeng heard this, he smiled knowingly and waved his hand. "Auntie, you can rest, what kind of help is this, my stew is very fragrant, Mingyue likes to eat it very much, I will show you a hand." After dinner, I will take advantage of this time in the evening to hunt some more prey for you, and I will stay with you for the night today, and we will set off again tomorrow. ”

After speaking, Ye Qingfeng didn't wait for the woman to answer, went to the kitchen and picked up the pot and knife, opened the door and came to the courtyard.

The snow is two meters, and it is not completely bad to say that it is not good, at least the matter of drinking water is solved, and after the fire is lit, a pot of snow will turn into water in less than 30 seconds.

However, the conditions are limited, and the taste of the stew is not too perfect, from time to time, Ye Qingfeng brought a pot of meat into the house and put it on the table.

After everyone finished eating, the woman's face recovered a lot, smiled at Ye Qingfeng and nodded, and asked. "Qingfeng, thank you, it seems that you are not from the Bright Country, right?

"Auntie, we are cherry blossom people, and we have some things to do to go to the sun. I heard before that the Kingdom of Light is like spring all year round like the Holy Land, and it doesn't snow at all! Do you know why the Kingdom of Light has become the way it is?" Ye Qingfeng is still not so proficient in Mayana, and the vocabulary is patchwork and coherent, and it is not so coherent, but women can still understand it.

When the woman heard this, she was silent for a moment and then spoke softly. "I don't know this very well, I'm 30 years old this year, and from what I remember, this is the first time I've seen snow in the Land of Light, maybe you go to the Sun Capital, and the people there will know the answer. ”

Ye Qingfeng heard this, nodded, got up and took Liu Mingyue's hand and said. "Mingyue, let's go out and hunt some more prey while it's still dark. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Mingyue nodded, and she didn't know why, since she fell into this world, Liu Mingyue had become much gentler and spoke a lot more steadily.

"Brother, I'll go with you. My dog only listens to me. Xiao Di said, got up and put on a padded jacket.

Ye Qingfeng also meant this, Xiao Di couldn't hit big prey at all, the weather was too cold, Liu Mingyue couldn't fly, using a sleigh was the best way, so he turned his head to look at the stamen.

At this time, the stamen lowered her head and was thinking about something, and the two cats had earlobes on the top of their heads, as if they were a little lost.

Ye Qingfeng bent his fingers, flicked the stamen of the flower, and said with a smile. "Little Nizi, wait here, don't run around, we'll be back in a while. ”

The words fell, and the three of them walked out of the room, and Hua Rui came back to her senses at this time, her eyes couldn't help but widen, and she remembered the word over and over again. "Little, little Nizi?"

When it is calm, many animals in the grassland will not attack the Mayana humans. However, when this person was eating people, the beast's eyes were blue with hunger, and when he saw the sleigh driving on the snowfield, he couldn't take care of it, and it didn't take long for Ye Qingfeng to kill two brown bears.

Back at Xiaodi's house, after breaking down the brown bear, it was already completely dark. When the moon is in the sky, the earth is brightened by snow, and the village is brightly lit up as if the flowers never sleep.

At night, five people were lying on the bed, Xiao Di hugged her mother, Ye Qingfeng was lying in the middle, Liu Mingyue and Hua Rui were lying on the other side, the cold wind outside the window was howling, mixed with snowflakes hitting the window, but the room was very warm.

Ye Qingfeng looked at the ceiling, thinking about the knowledge he had learned over and over again, but he didn't understand the reason for the heavy snow in July in the Guangming Kingdom, thinking about the sleepiness, he slowly closed his eyes......

Early in the morning, Ye Qingfeng was awakened by a noisy noise, and slowly opened his eyes, the window was full of Lu Binghua, and he couldn't see what was happening outside at all. Then he got up and put on a thin coat, and saw that Liu Mingyue and Hua Rui were still sleeping sweetly together, so he covered them with a quilt and walked towards the door.

The moment Ye Qingfeng opened the door, Ye Qingfeng saw that a sleigh carriage was parked at the door outside the courtyard, and more than a dozen people in soldier uniforms in the courtyard were holding long knives and staring at Xiao Di's mother and son viciously.

Xiao Di hid in her mother's arms, her eyes glistening with tears. "Bad officers and soldiers, you just took away two rabbits three days ago, and today you are going to collect grain, and the usual amount is only two lion legs, but today you want to take all of them, aren't you bullying people?"

When the officers and soldiers at the head heard this, the corners of their mouths hooked evilly, and they sneered. "Hmph! You still talk to us about the conditions? It's good to leave today's food for your family! You can still hunt today! Are you lazy? Don't force me to do it, take the initiative to get out of the way!"

Xiaodi's mother didn't move, her beautiful eyes were filled with fear, and she said indignantly. "Is there a limit to the amount of grain you can receive? What is the amount? It is impossible for our family to pay as much as we have for this food now! Almost all the hares around us have been eaten, and it is not easy to catch them at all, and the food is handed over to you, how can we live! Even in front of Lord Zhensi, I dare to say so!"

"Hmph!" The officer and soldier with the knife seemed to have heard a big joke, raised the knife and pointed it at Xiaodi's mother and son, and roared angrily. "Do you dare to use the town secretary to say things? It is the order of the town secretary, the national disaster is at the head, and the husband is responsible! Everyone has to hunt and pay taxes, and they have to fight every day, and I will collect it once every three days for you here, and it is already very lenient for you, don't be embarrassed, let it go?"

The woman trembled, hugged Xiaodi tightly, and said with a crying voice. "Don't let it!

"Okay, then arrest them! Take all the food in the room!" The officers and soldiers with knives should be the captains of this group of people, seeing that Xiaodi's mother and son just didn't give way, and with a wave of their hands, the soldiers behind them rushed up.

"Ahh

Originally, she wanted to prepare a breakfast for Ye Qingfeng and the others, but she never thought that the smoke attracted the officers and soldiers on patrol.

"Don't you ...... But at this moment, a soldier who rushed in front flew out of the yard and fell on the snow like killing a pig.

The soldier rolled back and forth clutching his stomach, and after a few seconds passed out. There were a few more screams, and the rest of the soldiers who rushed up also fell to the ground.

The officer and soldier at the head did not slow down for a while, how could anyone dare to attack the officers and soldiers in the past, this is a big crime in the country of light, so he raised his knife and pointed at Ye Qingfeng and said fiercely. "Bastard, are you crazy? Dare to fight officers and soldiers, do you want to sit in prison?"

After all, the officer and soldier who led the way rushed up with a knife, and I have to say that this person is much more powerful than the other soldiers, and he can feel it by the blade alone.

However, Ye Qingfeng was still a bit of an axe, only to see Ye Qingfeng's arm wave, and in an instant, the golden light flashed, and the trident under the indifferent gaze directly pressed against the throats of the officers and soldiers.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers came to the brakes suddenly, otherwise they would not have been stabbed in the heart, and the officers and soldiers stared at the weapon, their eyes couldn't help but widen and their mouths muttered. "At this time, the Demon Seed Weapon?"

Who in the whole continent doesn't understand that as long as the magic weapon of the demon seed transformation knows the formula, no matter what the position, it can be put away at any time and transformed at any time, and the person who has such a weapon will not be an ordinary person.

Ye Qingfeng didn't answer, he kicked the officers and soldiers out directly, and then followed, and the trident went straight to the officers and soldiers in their hearts.

"Ahh A minute later, the officers and soldiers opened their eyes and said in a trembling voice. "You, who are you?"

Ye Qingfeng snorted coldly again and said. "You don't deserve to know who I am, I need you to do one thing now, I hope you give me a serious answer, otherwise, my trident won't have eyes!"

When the officers and soldiers heard this, their bodies couldn't help but tremble, Ye Qingfeng's words made him feel that it was even colder than the current temperature in the Bright Country, where did he dare to resist, and said in fear. "Warrior, you say it, I will definitely do it, and I will never say half a word!"

This world is like this, the soft are afraid of the hard, but the hard are afraid of the desperate, and the position is naturally more than the common people's life.

Ye Qingfeng nodded when he heard this, and asked in a cold voice. "Send someone to call me the town guard! I'll see what the hell he has stipulated, collect food every three days, and collect as much as you want!"

When the officers and soldiers heard this, their bodies stiffened suddenly, and now that he was being pointed at the throat by a trident, how could he dare to say a word? "Second, second, hurry up, hurry up and find Lord Zhensi!

"Got it!" Hearing the sound, I saw a soldier staggering to his feet, and then drove a sleigh and disappeared from everyone's view.

The officer and soldier didn't dare to move at all, the crotch of his pants was sticky, and he didn't dare to change his pants, so he just lay on the spot obediently, looking at the sharp trident with frightened eyes. "Hero, don't shake your hands, let's discuss everything!"

Where did Ye Qingfeng tremble? It was clear that the whole body of the officer and soldier was trembling, and the mysterious liquid on the ground had condensed into yellow ice, which was particularly dazzling on the white snow everywhere.

About an hour later, Ye Qingfeng, who was sitting in the courtyard, was attracted by a one-horned horse, and turned his head to look, and a person walked down from the sleigh car, dressed in an official uniform, thirty or forty years old, with a haggard face, but he could also see the aura in his bones.
