Chapter 13: The Food Stealers
Lei Sheng looked at Li Chengye, who was full of fighting spirit and expectation, and agreed.
"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that if you have a heart, you will definitely be able to raise a thousand catties of food next year. ”
"Where did you come from, I doubt you're really only six years old?"
"I'm over 200 years old, do you believe it?"
"You think I'm stupid, is it like this for more than two hundred years old, the oldest grandfather in our village, only ninety-six years old, and the old one has only a layer of skin left. ”
To live to be ninety-six years old, it seems that the people in this world are still living a long life, Lei Sheng thought.
But if you want Lei Sheng to know that when the world was most technologically advanced, the average life expectancy of people was 200 years old, I don't know if he would collapse.
"Senior Brother Li, you are almost twenty years old, do you have anyone you like?" Lei Sheng asked to find out when people in this world will get married.
He was embarrassed to ask Xiaoju such a question, because it was undoubtedly revealing their scars.
Li Chengye misunderstood Lei Sheng's words, and subconsciously looked at the three daughters working in the fields.
"You want to be a matchmaker for me, I don't have that kind of interest, I always feel that I am a person who wants to do big things, but I can't be tied up by my mother-in-law at a young age. ”
"Of course you're the one who wants to do big things......"
Li Chengye laughed proudly: "Do you think so too......"
"That's why you're called Chengye. ”
"It's not funny at all. ”
"When do the men in the village get married?"
"According to personal preference, there are seventeen or eighteen, and there are also those in their thirties, but under normal circumstances, they are twenty-five or sixteen years old. ”
After answering Lei Sheng's question, Li Chengye suddenly looked at Lei Sheng strangely: "You kid can't do it, you think about spring at such a young age, no wonder there are so many young ladies around you." ”
"Go, go, where do you want to go, as the saying goes, three miles are different townships, ten miles are not customary, I just want to ask you if the situation in your village is the same as ours. ”
"It's the same, how bad can this be, you have a lot of words, I want to talk to you more when I have time, and I can learn more. ”
"Do you have family planning there?"
"What is Family Planning?"
"It's a limit on the number of births. ”
"Nope. Childbirth is a natural phenomenon, why restrict it, you don't have such bullshit regulations there, right?"
Lei Sheng did not answer directly, but said: "I wonder why family planning is not practiced when there are few resources and a large population, so the population will naturally decrease." ”
After listening to Lei Sheng's words, Li Chengye's face changed greatly: "Don't say this kind of thing in front of other people, you will be considered an anti-natural person, and you will be retaliated against by those who follow nature." ”
"What is that?"
"That's not anything, it's an organization, it's called Shunjiao, many people believe in Shunjiao, Shunjiao teaches people to conform to the development of nature, not to disobey, all suffering and enjoyment are natural things, it's useless to resist, only if you obey nature, you will get the favor of nature. ”
Lei Sheng has seen a lot of things again.
This is clearly a distorted belief.
"I don't believe that. Li Chengye emphasized, as if to prove to Lei Sheng that I am actually the same kind of person as you.
This was the end of the conversation between the two, for there was still a lot of work to do in the field, and they could not afford to waste all their time talking.
Autumn received it, if it weren't for Lei Sheng's ability to have a certain ability, the grain he planted would have matured ahead of schedule, otherwise he would have just entered the harvest period at this moment.
When everyone began to harvest in the field with great expectations, a group of uninvited guests came to the field.
"Collect all this grain for Lao Tzu. ”
Loud shouts could be heard in the distance.
"Who are you, what do you want to do, this is the food I grow!"
Li Chengye, who was harvesting grain in the field, heard the sound and didn't pay much attention to it, until a group of people suddenly broke into his field and stole the grain he planted with a cloth bag unscrupulously.
"Hey, what do you want to do!" he threw down the sack in his hand and pounced on the thieves like a tiger.
Soon there were beatings and shouting in the field.
There were also screams of pain.
Li Chengye was already good at fighting, and those thieves really couldn't help him for a while.
It wasn't until a big man strode over and relied on brute force to control him that Li Chengye lost the ability to fight back.
"Why are you dogs stealing my food? ”
A few young people dressed in fancy clothes, aged seventeen or eighteen, who looked like children of rich families, walked up to Li Chengye with a smile.
"This brother, this land is not your family's land, of course the grain is who collects it, our brothers are going to Wutong Mountain to learn art, and the food they bring is not enough, of course, they will come to the neighborhood to look for it. ”
"This is the food I have worked so hard to grow, why do you pick up ready-made!"
"Why, it's just because of the hard fists of Lao Tzu! Brother Peng, what nonsense to talk to this kid. A young man said viciously.
The young man who was called Brother Peng stepped forward and patted Li Chengye's face: "Lao Tzu saw that you have some ability, so I said a few more words to you, don't be ignorant, otherwise I don't mind making you crippled, don't doubt what I said." ”
Li Chengye knew that he had hit a hard stubble, but he was unwilling to be humiliated: "Who are you?" ”
"Someone you can't afford to mess with, of course. ”
"I'm sorry, there's no one I don't dare to mess with. Li Chengye spat out.
The spit star flew in the face of the brother Peng.
"Look for death!" Brother Peng was annoyed and angry, and slammed his fist at Li Chengye's head.
It's just that before his fist touched Li Chengye, he was beaten back by a flying lump.
Before the big man who controlled Li Chengye could react, his abdomen suddenly ached, and he bowed down like a shrimp.
Li Chengye, who got rid of the shackles, stretched out his legs and kicked the big man's buttocks.
"Who!" Peng cried out in horror.
Li Chengye wanted to teach these lawless rich children a lesson, but was stopped by Lei Sheng.
When these people found that Li Chengye suddenly had a child with a cloth bag behind him, they looked at each other a little dumbfounded.
Lei Sheng went to the Wutong Sect just now to receive the seeds sown in autumn, and as soon as he came back, he found this gang of robbers and saved Li Chengye easily.
"You just smashed me with a clod of dirt?" Brother Peng asked with a glaring eye of disbelief.
"There are ten major families in Wind Thunder City, and I heard that six of them will come to Wutong Mountain to learn art this year, just a few of you. ”
This matter was heard by Lei Sheng when he recently went to the inner city of Wind Thunder City to buy daily necessities.
Lei Sheng's guess was right, the six people who brought people to steal food were the Guang Peng of the Guang family, the fixed income of the Ding family, the Fang Mu of the Fang family, the Tingwang family, the Wen Feng of the Wen family, and the Ranhuo of the Ran family.
They are all unlearned, unskilled, relying on the power of their families, and doing nonsense.
A thousand catties of grain is a drop in the bucket for the children of their families.
Although in the past three years, Lei Sheng has only seen the desolation of this world in his eyes, but there are no absolutes in the world, and not everyone in this world is poor and poor due to the influence of the environment.
According to Lei Sheng's investigation in the past six months by going to the inner city of Wind Thunder City to buy things, he found that the gap between the rich and the poor in this world is as large as the slave society in the previous life.
