Qiu Yu's warm big hand held her slender hand, and Wu Tong's pretty face turned crimson. Her words dispelled her worries, and excited eyes appeared in her bright eyes. She smiled and said: "You didn't lie to me, did you?
Are you saying all this from your heart?"
"Of course, if there is a lie that will make me die..." Before Qiu Yu could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by Xiao Nizi's other hand, who complained: "What nonsense are you talking about?
As long as people believe in you." It made him smile and feel extremely happy.
This scene was seen by Xiao Jiu, who was well aware of the world. A look of disdain appeared on his charming face, and he scolded angrily: "Can you still have some potential? You are so obsessed with the little girl, and the name Tietou is so nice."
, why don’t you call me Goudan? Remember, your name is Qiu Yu. There are many beauties who miss you. Even Princess Zhao of Zhao State took the initiative to throw herself into her arms for you, but you didn’t agree. Don’t do it for a country girl.
You lose yourself so much that I don’t even recognize you, my grandson.”
However, Qiu Yu did not respond, because the white-haired old village chief came closer and said worriedly: "Young man, you have caused trouble and injured so many hunters in Hulin Village. Hu Santai will never give up, so he should do it as soon as possible
It would be better to leave and fly away, but if you stay here any longer, I'm afraid you will be retaliated against sooner or later, and may be even more disastrous."
Wu Tong's words made Wu Tong nervous and she stared at Tietou. To be fair, she felt that the old village chief's words were reasonable, but when she thought that Tietou had left and disappeared, she felt very uncomfortable because she had so many things.
I'm reluctant to give up and don't know what to do.
Qiu Yu smiled, "Thank you for your kind reminder, but I don't have anywhere to go. Now I regard my sister as a relative, so I can't leave, and I won't be afraid of that old guy. If the other party dares to come here to seek revenge, I will
Let him pay a heavy price."
Since the boy was unmoved, the old village chief had no choice but to say: "Well, in this case, you should be more careful in the future..."
Hearing Tietou's response, Wu Tong beamed with joy and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, village chief, I will take good care of him and be on guard against gangsters' plots at any time."
The old village chief nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, this friend of yours is very capable and can be said to be a young and promising man. You must take good care of him and don't let anything happen to our village. Otherwise, it will be too sorry."
People."
"Well... I understand." Wu Tong asked again: "Village Chief, the hunting tax will be paid tomorrow. How are the villagers preparing?"
Mentioning this matter, the old village chief's face turned gloomy, and he sighed helplessly, "Alas... the people are suffering so much, especially in our poor village. The villagers have paid a large number of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes year after year. There is no money left. Each person has ten dollars."
It's not too difficult to make an animal skin. After all, you can get it together by trading with each other, but one hundred copper coins per person is very expensive. Every household doesn't have much money left, so they will definitely not be able to pay it. It is estimated that many people will be arrested tomorrow.
Taken away..."
Hundreds of villagers gathered around. Except for the elderly who were too old to move and the infants, almost all those who could walk came out to watch. After all, so many men from Hulin Village were coming in a menacing manner. They didn’t know what was going on. Fortunately, there was nothing in the village.
Despite the loss, I saw a shocking battle and found it very enjoyable.
However, the hunting tax is like a huge mountain pressing down on many villagers. After hearing the discussion between the village chief and Wu Tong, the villagers were crying and complaining. There were complaints everywhere. There was even a woman who couldn't help but cry, "What should I do? There are nine people in the family."
If you want to kill someone, you have to pay 900 copper coins, and you can’t even open the pot, where will the money come from..."
"No matter how hard the people suffer, our family has no money to pay these heavy taxes that are killing people. We have no choice but to be taken away and imprisoned."
"Various disasters over the years have led to poor harvests, but all kinds of taxes and fees have doubled. It's really hard to live..."
The voice reached the ears of the old village chief, and his face was full of sadness. He could only comfort everyone and said: "Okay, just look away. Tomorrow I will risk my life to beg the officials."
Give it a few more days to give everyone time to raise money."
However, everyone was still dejected and felt that life was too hard. Some people sighed: "It's useless. There's not enough food to eat. It's not like you could sell it for money before. Now there's no way to make money..."
"One day, we will all be forced to death..."
Seeing that many villagers were in dire straits, Qiu Yu remembered what Wu Tong had said and immediately expressed his stance: "Village chief, and fellow villagers, you don't need to be anxious, I can survive because of my sister's rescue and shelter, so
I can’t just ignore everyone’s difficulties. My sister and I have paid for all of you to pay the hunting tax.”
In an instant, the surroundings were completely silent. Hundreds of villagers were surprised and couldn't believe their ears. They looked over in amazement and stared at this young man, secretly wondering if they heard wrongly.
Wu Tongming looked over with approving eyes, and her eyes filled with tears. She was extremely grateful. For her, Tietou did not hesitate to give up his huge wealth to help the villagers. What kind of heart is this? It is true.
manly man.
After a moment of silence, an old woman said in a trembling voice: "My child, am I too old to hear clearly? What are you talking about?"
Qiu Yu said loudly: "Grandma and everyone else, listen up. You don't have to worry about the money to pay the hunting tax. Isn't it just one hundred copper coins per person? My sister and I paid for everyone in the village. We will pay for you."
Pay the money..."
"Ah... it's true. I heard it clearly. Thank God, after paying the hunting tax, my sons' families have been saved. You are really living Bodhisattvas who save the suffering. The old woman kowtows to you."
She cried with excitement and knelt down tremblingly.
Seeing this, Wu Tong quickly ran over, helped the old woman up with tears in her eyes, and choked with sobs: "Grandma Yu, please don't do this. You all watched me grow up. Now that everyone is in trouble, how can I help her?"
I'll just ignore it, there's no need to be like this."
For many villagers, this is simply great news. After all, most families are worried about not being able to collect the money to pay taxes tomorrow. They never expected that the noble man suddenly appeared, Wu Tong, the girl, and the young man he picked up.
They shouldered the expense without hesitation. The villagers were overjoyed and thanked them all the time. The originally heavy and sad atmosphere became cheerful and relaxed, with smiles on their faces.
It's just that the old village chief is very careful and is afraid that the two young people will talk nonsense. After all, he knows in his heart that the whole village needs to pay a lot of money, which is undoubtedly a huge sum. And Wu Tong's little girl has an ordinary family and it is impossible to have so much.
Can you trust money and a young man of unknown origin? The old man was full of doubts and asked quickly: "Young man, I would like to thank you on behalf of all the villagers, but do you have so much money?"
Hearing the words of the old village chief, the villagers stopped making noise and looked at the stranger with worried eyes. They were all a little uneasy, fearing that the other person was just talking big words out of thin air and making them happy in vain.
