On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Why did she originally think that Orion was a business without capital?

Who would have thought that there would be taxes to pay?

She couldn't help but ask: "Do the hunters who live in the deep mountains and wild forests also have to pay taxes?"

In the TV movies she watched in her previous life, many hunters lived alone in the deep mountains and wild forests. After hunting the prey in winter, they would pickle it if they couldn't finish it. In other seasons, the hunters would be sent to restaurants to sell it.

How could it be that when it was my turn, I realized that it was not easy to be an Orion?

"Girl, you are joking." Li Zheng felt that the little girl was ignorant and it was normal to ask such a question, so he touched the goatee on his chin to show off: "There are not only snakes and insects in the deep mountains and wild forests, but also man-eating tigers and wolves. A herd, a herd of wild boars, can they still survive?”

"If you really have that kind of ability, why would you still live in the deep mountains and wild forests?"

"Even if there are families in remote mountains, if you don't find a way to move out, they are still villages where many families gather together. If you are a hunter, you will definitely have to pay taxes."

Li was thinking about what he had collected from the Xiao family, but he finally said one more thing: "Of course, if you prepare some game for yourself on weekdays, no one will care about that."

"But you have to open up wasteland, and you can't always run to the mountains, otherwise you will be gossiped about and reported to the county government."

Li Zheng, who lives in a small place, usually doesn't get many benefits, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for too much. However, the Xiao family gave him a lot, which made him feel a little guilty. He simply reminded them now: "I will also talk to you." The neighboring Xu Laosan's family, his sister's son works as an errand in the Yamen, and they are not at home these days, they just go to dinner."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he waved his hands and left amidst their gratitude.

Boss Xiao waited until he walked away. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant. He opened his mouth and cursed a lot of curse words before he let out a breath: "It seems that the neighbor we haven't met yet is difficult to deal with. This house is very hot to buy. "

Xiao Laoer is much more honest than his eldest brother, but this does not mean that he is kind and weak.

He frowned: "Brother, we are not afraid of them. If they dare to be arrogant, let me beat them up."

"Kill them out of fear, and you will be able to live in peace in the future."

"I don't believe that the Yamen will take care of trivial things like fights between neighbors."

"Even if you are imprisoned, you can't kill my head."

Boss Xiao was very satisfied after hearing what he said, and finally no longer disliked him for being a freeloader.

He felt that it wouldn't matter if they were imprisoned just because they were beaten. After they came out, it would make ordinary people stay away from them.

Besides, my brother’s family is all sons, so it doesn’t matter even if his reputation is not very good.

Furthermore, now that they knew that this village was bullying and xenophobic, they were not prepared to stay long.

It's just that I will lose some money on the house I just bought.

Xiao Dalang was very eager to make money. People say that money can make all the difference. If he can earn a lot of money, he can find a way to move to Houzhai Village.

If he had more money, he would dare to think more and move to Wuning County.

As for a big place like Yuhang, he couldn't even think about it for the time being.

Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian also said in unison: "Second uncle is right. If you scare them, they will not dare to bully students."

Boss Xiao looked at his two daughters in shock. What made the originally well-behaved, sensible, gentle and filial daughters turn into aggressive and aggressive people? He is definitely not himself. He cherishes life and will never take action if he can use his words. Even if he is forced to take action, he also likes to attack secretly or take advantage of the large number of people to bully the small number.

He looked at his silent little daughter and asked, "San'er, what do you think?"

"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. If that doesn't work, let's just flee again!" Xiao Xiao now has experience in escaping: "I haven't heard of a large-scale war outside. We can flee to the capital."

Then he thought: "If we can stay here, let's stay here for a year or two. Now that we have to open up wasteland, let's buy some snake repellent."

"If you don't want to open up wasteland, just say you were frightened by the snakes in the bamboo forest."

Yes, Boss Xiao is desperate. This little one is more extreme than the two older ones.

After spending so much money to buy a house, under what circumstances would you run away?

Either they killed people, or they were maimed.

He took a deep breath: "Okay, I will go to Houzhai Village to buy snake repellent medicine now. Can you three sisters go home?"

I couldn't help but add: "It would be nice to go home and do some sewing with your mother and the Lin sisters. Now we don't have to rush, and you don't have to wear shorts all the time. You can change back into skirts."

He didn't want to and didn't dare to admit that his daughters were wild-minded. He could only blame them for wearing short skirts. When they changed back to their skirts, they would definitely become as gentle and charming as before.

Xiao Lian looked at him with wide eyes: "Dad, I bought all the bows and arrows, we must go hunting in the mountains? Otherwise, wouldn't we be in a loss?"

Afraid that he was really ready to open up wasteland, he said: "Anyway, there is no one here. We can hide the bows and arrows in the basket and bring them back. I will leave my uncle here to saw a few bamboos, and we will all go hunting in the mountains. We will start from here in the afternoon." If we go home together, we can kill two birds with one stone, right?"

Boss Xiao was almost convinced: "You can also practice bow and arrow at home."

Xiao Xiu couldn't help but speak: "Dad, the target at home is a dead target, but hunting in the mountains is a living target, right?"

Boss Xiao couldn't refute, so he simply sent his younger brother to Houzhai Village to buy snake repellent. They went home and hid their bows and arrows in a large basket, and then sneaked into the mountains from the edge of the bamboo forest to hunt under the guise of cutting bamboo.

In order to reduce the chance of being discovered, they all carried rice balls and gourds filled with water into the mountains.

They were not here to hunt many prey, but to get familiar with the environment in the mountains first.

For example, where there is lush vegetation, there may be more snakes and insects, but there may also be more hares and pheasants, so be careful.

Then check to see if there are any wild boar footprints, excrement, etc., lest you accidentally run into a wild boar's nest, which is asking for death.

Maybe there were a lot of prey in autumn, so Xiao Dalang was quick to hit two long worms with his stick.

Xiao Xiao endured the discomfort in his heart and reminded him: "Brother, smash the snake's head flat just in case. When you go back, hang all the worms on the stick. If the villagers ask, tell them that there are a lot of worms in the bamboo forest." .”

Since the people in the village were bullying and xenophobic, they simply made them think that the bamboo forest was dangerous and made them afraid to go there, lest they find out that their family had secretly gone into the mountains to hunt.

Xiao Lian was very courageous and didn't feel afraid when eating. Now seeing that Xiao Dalang had gained something, he was ready to make a move and asked in a low voice: "San'er, do you think there will be worms in the restaurant?"

Xiao Xiao nodded: "The fight between dragons and phoenixes in the restaurant is just worms and pheasants?"

Xiao Xiu also followed: "And the medical clinic should also accept them, right? I heard that many long worms can be used as medicine and can also be brewed into wine."
