I walk in the world of heaven

Chapter 338 Give You a Treasure
There was a slightly tense atmosphere in the air, and Xiao Zhi's smiling face made Songcun Liangchu a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself, the young man in front of him didn't look like a rough man exposed to the wind and sun every day, could he be a famous person?No, the civil strife is still going on, and big names from all over the country are eager to seize power. Where is the time to send a strongman to rob a small village...

Xiao Zhi slowly raised his hand, and the lightfoot soldier who was in charge of guarding Songcun Liangchu immediately pressed the knife on his waist: "What do you want to do, put your hand down!"

Xiao Zhi took a step back and smiled, "Don't be nervous, handing in the yearly tribute is the right thing to do, but the weather is hot, and it's really hard for everyone to come all the way from the city, why don't you sit in the humble house first, let's chat about what to do while eating something. How about it?"

As soon as the words fell, the light foot soldier who shouted "put your hands down" was a little embarrassed, and what was even more embarrassing was the sound of hunger gurgling from his stomach.Damn Songcun Liangchu, there is food and drink along the way, and those in charge of the guards only have a little dry food to save money.Hearing what Xiao Zhi said, he and the other Qingzu couldn't help but look at Songcun Liangchu...

Song Cunliang began to yell and curse in his heart, shameful thing, didn't I give you something to eat, aren't you afraid to go into a bunch of traps and wait for you trash?

Being looked at like this, he would be afraid of danger if he entered, and he would look bad if he didn't, especially Xiao Zhi's harmless expression on humans and animals was even more irritating!If it was really harmless, there wouldn't be Yoshitoyo Hidemoto's headless corpse hanging at the intersection...

He hesitated for a long time, clenched his gums: "Since you invited me, how can I refuse?" As he spoke, he glanced at the bastards beside him lightly: "Anyway, they are from the city, give me all of them." Show some decent momentum!"

Then they walked into the yard almost under the protection of being surrounded. Although they saw guards, there were only three or two of them, and they didn't seem to have set a trap.Finally, when we arrived at the hall, there were not many people here, so my heart relaxed slightly.

Xiao Zhi followed in, sat on the front seat, and said with a smile, "Please sit down."

After Songcun Liangchu sat down, he said again: "Let me introduce myself formally. My surname is Jiang Chuan and my name is Xiao Zhi. I am the manager of Sanxiu Village. If there is anything I can't do well, please forgive me... "

Songcun Liangchu didn't want to stay here any longer, so he said straight to the point: "In the past two years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused a sharp decline in crop yields in the field. According to the head count, each person only needs to hand over 50 catties of food, and it doesn’t matter if there is no food, gold, silver, jewelry and other money can also be deducted from the food..."

Although 50 catties of grain is not much, for an adult, the normal food intake is only about 20 catties per month. This 50 catties of rice is enough for more than two months. Maybe four months will be fine.But the villagers of Sanxiu Village are yellow and emaciated and will soon become hungry people, but if they can have 20 catties of rice at home, they will not be so sad...

At this time, the servant brought over several plates, and put dried wolf meat, wild boar meat, rice balls and a cup of hot water on the table next to Xiao Zhi.A plate with only two rice balls was placed in front of Songcun Liangchu.Song Cunliang's face immediately turned dark, this damn is insulting!

Xiao Zhi took a speechless look at this somewhat silly servant. He was just about to have lunch, so he asked him to prepare it. Unexpectedly, it was quite sumptuous, but what did he think of him?

Songcun Liangchu suppressed his anger and said: "Seeing that Jiangchuan's family has meat and rice, I think Sanxiu Village should be able to hand in the annual tribute easily. I, Songcun Liangchu, will not make a trip in vain. The annual tribute should be paid." ..."

Xiao Zhi glanced at the wolf meat and pork on the table: "Ahem, to tell you the truth, these things were brought back from the deep mountains by the Orion. In order to thank me for killing the land protection, I took the initiative to thank you. , They usually live a very hard life. There is really no food to hand in this year, and we still owe it for a year. How about handing it in together when the situation improves next year? I will thank Mr. Song Village on behalf of the villagers of Sanxiu Village..."

Now Sanxiu Village has few people, and its strength can only resist ordinary small bandits in small groups. If he kills Song Village Liangchu in front of him on impulse, then it is likely to attract the attention of the city lord and send two to 300 people. Attack the village.Although he, Kojiro and the village's armed forces could resist the attack, the price to be paid must be very high.

They can protect themselves, but the villagers can't help it. Soldiers will enter the village and swing their knives, and blood will flow into rivers.In that way, the hundred or so people who had finally been redeemed would be left cold...

Sending him away first, Xiao Zhi touched his body, and then smiled: "Although I can't pay the annual tribute this year, I definitely can't let Mr. Songcun make a trip in vain and give you a treasure. Please help me!" How about a few words of pleading in front of the city lord?"

Facing Xiao Zhi, who was so shabby, Song Cunliang couldn't hold back his anger at the beginning, when he heard that there was a treasure, he held back and said: "The city lord is not an easy-talking person, I... need a lot of courage to do it! "When I said that, I rubbed my fingers lightly.

Xiao Zhi took out a small silver square box from his pocket.

The servant took it and put it on Songcun Liangchu's table.Song Cunliang picked it up and looked at it carefully, his eyes gleamed, it was a delicate iron box, shiny silver, with a few strange small square characters printed on it, he raised his head: "This iron box is really good, very Exquisite, but... not a treasure."

Xiao Zhi shook his head and stood up, took the iron box and said: "This treasure is called a lighter. It can easily make a flame anytime, anywhere when adults don't carry a lighter... It's more effective than flint and better than a lighter. !"

He flipped open the lid of the lighter with his thumb, slid the roller, and a ball of flame burst out from it, startling everyone present!
Those light-footed soldiers and servants trembled. What a treasure this is. There is no spark when it is opened just now, and there is no need to blow air.

Xiao Zhi brought ten of these lighters.

He chuckled and said, "I got this kind of treasure by accident. It doesn't need to be as troublesome as flint to light it, and it doesn't need to be lighted in advance like fire zhezi to carry it. And it's easy to extinguish if it takes too long. Lord Song Village feels satisfied?"

Song Cun reached out tremblingly to take the lighter, his gaze was absorbed in it, and his hands were careful not to break this rare treasure: "Can this treasure be used forever, Patriarch Jiangchuan?" This changed the name of Xiao Zhi. , in a disguised form, admitted Xiao Zhi's status at this moment.

Xiao Zhi also smiled: "No matter how useful a treasure is, it will be exhausted. There is treasure energy hidden in it, and if it is exhausted, it will not be able to light up."
