MTL - Human Shackles-Chapter 29 the wicked
Luo Kai returned to his home. Now his home has become a small wooden house. There is a small courtyard built with gravel outside. Just entering the small courtyard, a yellow dog with almost all hair coming out came out, affectionately. Wagging his tail at him.
This old dog that cannot grow old is the one that dragged Luo Kai out of the reeds in front. If it weren't for its old fisherman, he wouldn't have saved himself on the beach.
The yellow dog has been wandering in several nearby fishing villages. Luo Kai immediately recognized it when he saw it, so he adopted it and named it Lao Huang.
Lao Huang didn't have any sense of housekeeping. He was scurrying outside all day, watching his dirty body again, and he didn't have to think that he would go out to the wild again. He gobbled up the rice crackers and was still dissatisfied and pleased. He slipped to Luo Kai's feet and whimpered in a low voice, apparently still wanting it.
Luo Kai threw the unfinished rice crackers in the bag to Lao Huang, stretched his waist, and went to the water tank in the yard to wash and go to bed.
During a detailed examination of Lao Huang, Luo Kai found that Lao Huang was not really old. It just got a form of ringworm, so the hair fell severely, and it was dirty all day and looked older.
Luo Kai ran to the nearby mountains and forests to find some anti-inflammatory herbs, and wrapped the old yellow tightly. It may be that the medicine is wrong. The herbal medicine has no effect. Now the old yellow has almost become a hairless dog, which looks very good. ugly.
Lao Huang is very smart, and he can even go fishing by himself, and he is also a good hand at catching mice. Since Huang was born, rats have never appeared in the barn.
In the morning, there was a puff of smoke rising from the fishing village, and there were waves of children's crying and dog barking. It was peaceful and peaceful, and there was a sense of paradise.
Luo Kai has already gotten up. He now sleeps very shortly. He sleeps for two or three hours a day to stay energetic throughout the day. If he is not sleepy lying in bed, he will be very anxious, and he doesn't know why.
first practiced boxing in the yard for a while, then simply made some food, and then led Lao Huang to farm.
When passing by the village, a huge bloated steam truck appeared in the field of vision. Before the truck, the men we met last night were surrounded by fishermen, arguing about something.
Luo drove over and asked the old man smoking a dry cigarette: "Master, what do these people do?"
The old man took a few puffs of cigarettes, shook his head and said: "Tax collectors, each person has two hundred catties of grain, alas!"
Luo Kai frowned. Two hundred catties of grain is not a small amount for the people in this poor small fishing village. The land here is barren, and there is not much grain left throughout the year. It is a little difficult to make ends meet. Young people who rely on migrant workers come back to subsidize every year. Can maintain food and clothing.
There was a roar from the crowd: "Damn, I will kill you if you don't disperse!"
It was the strong man wearing a turban last night. Another thin man pulled him back and said loudly: "Your village has not paid taxes for three years. Two hundred catties per person is not too much food! "
The old village chief arched his hands and said: "Several adults, you have also seen our situation. The grain produced in the ground can't even support yourself. There is no grain to pay taxes, and I remember the old county master I once said that the poor are exempt from tax, but several fishing villages near us are exempt from tax!"
The thin man took out a document from his bag and said loudly: "Here is the new tax decree issued by my lord. The tax is levied on a per capita basis. Farmers use grain to pay for their money. No one can make an exception."
"Isn't this leaving us nowhere to survive!" The fishermen clamored to go to the county town to file a complaint.
Seeing the crowd rioting, the thin man smiled: "My fellow villagers, I know everyone is very difficult. I have found a way for everyone. There is a Jiuyuan farm 50 miles away from here. The village owner there prepares. Build a large trading terminal here. If everyone wants, Jiuyuan Farmhouse can pay this tax on your behalf!"
Luo Kai stared slightly in the distance, is there such a good thing in the world? We must know that the fishery here has long been abandoned. If a wharf can be built, it can be said that it will provide a way for several nearby fishing villages to live, and it will also help fishermen pay food taxes.
The old man on the side saw Luo Kai’s doubts and laughed: "Huh, he said that he was building a wharf, but he actually wanted to buy our land. Someone came to talk about this a few years ago and said that he was going to plant some rubber trees here. It takes more than ten years for rubber trees to harvest rubber. How do we live these ten years!"
"Is there no compensation?"
"Yes, it is said to let us move to Jiuyuan Farm."
Luo Kai didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but those who came to collect taxes were obviously not good people. He had been in the fishing village for less than a year and had no right to express any opinions. Seeing that the fishermen’s emotions have eased, he should Nothing will happen, so he turned and left.
In the evening, Luo Kai went to Wanghai Cliff to exercise his physical skills as usual. After the fierce ocean tide last night, he felt that this one seemed a little different. His body seemed to be lighter, and he walked like a gust of wind~www.novelbuddy.com~It's not so light and fluttering. Focus on.
It is a pity that the wave tonight is obviously much smaller. Some are better than nothing. After the exercise, Luo Kai lay on his back on the boulder and looked at the starry sky above his head, looking for familiar stars and people in his memory...
The fishing village is quiet at night. The poor fishermen don’t have a nightlife, and they don’t even want to light candles. They have to go back to bed after dark.
There was a dark cloud in the sky tonight, and the moonlight looked a little mottled. Luo Kai walked on the familiar grass, and his mood gradually became quiet.
As I walked, I suddenly saw a black figure flying across the village. Luo Kai had very good eyesight. He vaguely saw a slender woman crawling on the back of the black figure. He couldn't help feeling tight and he hurriedly bent over to chase after him. Going up, he liked the simplicity of the fishermen very much and would never allow anyone to hurt them.
The black shadow is very fast, and rushes towards a small forest almost without touching his feet, carrying a person on his back which seems to be weightless to him.
Luo Kai bent his waist and hurried to catch up. The physical training for more than a year showed results. His physical fitness was completely different from that of Nangya Island. The training of Dawei Longquan made him stronger. Getting stronger and stronger, the soft-building technique has given him unparalleled flexibility, and now he seems to have turned into a civet cat, light, swift and silent.
As the distance got closer and closer, I could see the woman on the black shadow's body. Strictly speaking, she was still a girl. She was the granddaughter of the village chief. Her name was Erya. She was twelve or thirteen years old. She was a handsome, lively and lovely girl. Er Ya is very scared of the ugly Lao Huang, but she is a little afraid of Luo Kai, who is covered with scars.
Although the black shadow is covered with a face, he has a sturdy body. Luo Kai recognized that he was one of the tax collectors during the day. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. This group of people is really not a good thing.
