Chapter 5 The Threat of Water Pirates

Walking into the thatched hut, a virtual interface appeared, and the detailed situation of the village appeared in front of my eyes.

Village Name: Changhe Village
Population: ten (four elderly, two young, two women, two children)
Thatched cottages: three
Farmland: [-] mu
Funding: None
Introduction to this village: Located in Chaohu Lake, it is a village under Chao County, Lujiang County.

Seeing this scene, Jia Nian was almost fainted.I just feel dizzy, there are only ten people in a village, and four of them are old people.

Jia Nian was depressed for a while and couldn't speak.

The virtual interface popped up suddenly, and simple avatars appeared one by one.The dungeon friends are as follows.

Fiancee: Qiao Jing (the two have already been married)
Future father-in-law: Qiao Guolao (I heard that the Jia family was razed to the ground, and there is a possibility of regretting the marriage)
Future sister-in-law: Qiao Wan (Qiao Jing's younger sister, honored as Xiaoqiao)

Friends: Liu Ye

Friendly reminder from the Beatles: According to the law of historical development, Xiaoqiao and Xiaoqiao will marry Sun Ce and Zhou Yu respectively, so these two people are likely to become deadly enemies with you.

"..." Looking at these news, Jia Nian only felt that there were glasses full of glasses in front of him, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation.

Isn't Lujiang County the place where Sun Ce started his family?Unexpectedly, he was cheated once by the Beetle as soon as he came, and he directly attacked the future Lord of Jiangdong.

It's a bit too presumptuous for the ten people under his command to want to be like a cart.

"Beetle, next time I will never use you as a matching identity, it's too bad." Jia Nian said with a grudge, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The virtual interface in front of him disappeared, and Jia Nian even felt like fleeing, but saw three opportunities for resurrection.So he gritted his teeth fiercely, and he acquiesced to this situation.

No matter what, let's make this foothold first and talk about it.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and walked outside slowly, when two young men who were busy in the field came over.

"I've seen the village chief." The two young men bowed to Jia Nian with hoes on their shoulders.

Jia Nian took a serious look at the two young men and saw that they were sturdy and sturdy, so he nodded: "Well, what do you call them?"

"Tang Gaoming" said the man standing on the left.

The man standing on the right also announced his name to Jia Nian: "Tang Yanqing"

Name: Tang Gaoming
Status: Changhe Village, Villager

Occupation: Farmer

Occupation Level: Level 1 Level 8

Skills: Land reclamation, intensive farming

Beetle Comments: Ordinary civilians with mediocre aptitude. Given the shortage of manpower, they can barely be trained.

Name: Tang Yanqing

Beetle Comments: Ordinary civilians with mediocre aptitude. Given the shortage of manpower, they can barely be trained.

"Go and do your work." Jia Nian looked at the attributes of the two, although he was puzzled, he still didn't show it.

Tang Yanqing and Tang Gaoming glanced at each other, then bowed to Jia Nian: "Yes"

After speaking, he took a step forward and continued to walk to the respective thatched huts in front.

There are three thatched huts at the beginning, and eight out of ten people are old and weak women and children. Fortunately, those who survived became Sun Ce's mortal enemies.It seems that I am experiencing the difficulty of hell, and I don't know what is going on with Fatty Guo.

Come on, let’s turn it around, people can’t be scared to death by themselves.

Walking forward slowly, after looking around the farmland on the left and right, Jia Nian looked up at the sky with a sad expression on his face.I learned from Fatty Guo that entering the dungeon is a very rare opportunity.Since I have already come here, I can't go back in a desperate way, in which world I am in.Now that time travel, and now that there is a cheat, wouldn't it be too much of a loss if you don't do something big?

"Tap Tap"

The sound of horseshoes broke the tranquility of this place, Tang Xingfan dropped the hoe in his hand, and ran from the farmland to Jia Nian.

Looking at his vigorous appearance, Jia Nian was a little suspicious, whether he was a young man disguised as an old man.

"The village chief is sick, the Chaohu water thief is here!" Tang Xingfan yelled at Jia Nian, and then went straight to his thatched hut.

Jia Nian was a little moved when he heard the warning.It can be seen that Tang Xingfan ran towards the thatched cottage, sweating profusely in his heart.It took me a long time to inform myself, but it was just incidental.

"Who is Changhe Village, the village chief?" A burly water thief with a big knife on his back held his horse and said loudly, but his eyes were looking directly at Jia Nian.

Seeing that sharp gaze, Jia Nian stepped forward: "I am"

"The head of the family has an order. Changhe Village will hand in one gold coin every year. The time is about to expire. Please go to the Baifan Water Village to hand in the village chief within three days. If not, this place will be razed to the ground in three days." Said the water thief loudly to Jia Nian with.

Jia Nian couldn't help being taken aback: "Turn in a gold coin in three days?"

"Does the village chief have any objections?" The water thief sat on the horseback and said aggressively to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian shook his head quickly, seeing the water thief's posture, he unsheathed his sword if he disagreed with it: "No, there is no objection at all."

"Farewell" the water thief pulled the reins and galloped in the same direction as he came and went.He is not afraid of Changhe Village's repudiation, so he has nothing to fear.

Looking at the water thief's back, Jia Nian showed a puzzled look, unexpectedly, even the water thief knows to cut leeks to collect protection fees.

Just as Jia Nian was thinking wildly, the sound of the door opening came, followed by worries and discussions.

"Hey, life is becoming more and more difficult now. The county government is exploiting and being blackmailed by water thieves. Adding natural disasters, I think this village will be ruined."

"If you want me to say, it's better to leave here, so as not to have such a difficult life"

"Leave? Where can we go if we leave?"

"Hey, who said otherwise? In the past, our village was also a big village, with hundreds of people. As a result, the Yellow Turbans looted ten houses and nine empty spaces, and the Chaohu water bandits frequently robbed them, so now it's just us. up"

"Goddamned water thief, this is totally not giving us a way out!"

"One gold, that's ten thousand coins, ten thousand copper coins. It should be noted that one mu of land can only be harvested for about four shi of grain, and one shi of grain is only four hundred qian."

"Our two families, even if we are saving food and expenses, we can't save a single gold worth of food."

Listening to these discussions, Jia Nian subconsciously asked them: "Do we only have the income of farming?"

The voice of discussion suddenly fell silent, and ten pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, each of them fell into deep thought.

While meditating, a child couldn't help but said to Jia Nian: "We sometimes fish with our mother. Is this a kind of income? It's just that we eat these fish ourselves and never sell them."

"I heard from grandpa and the others that the merchants in the county are black-hearted merchants. We would rather eat than sell to them," another child said to Jia Nian.

Hearing the word businessman, an idea gradually came to his mind, maybe he could find a way out by going around the county town by himself.
