The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 102 Clear Water Village

Brother Lin came just in time, and the Orion was pinned to the ground by the tiger a little later.

"Naughty animal! Don't hurt people's lives!"

The whole person turned into a white shadow, quickly falling between the tiger and the Orion.Judging from the expression on Lin Tianci's face, he had wanted to say this line for a long time.

At this time, the tiger had already leaped into the air, even if Brother Lin was standing between the two, the difference was only that it was jumping at Orion instead of rushing at Lin Tianci.

With his physique, it would definitely be uncomfortable to be pounced on by an adult tiger. After all, his bones are light and strange, and he can't handle hard fights.

Fortunately, Lin Tianci's square-inch palm is good, and the use of Suifeng Jin has made him quite accomplished in soft strength.

Stepping forward instead of retreating, Lin Tianci passed the tiger's pounce by turning sideways. At the same time, he pinched one of the tiger's front paws with his right hand as fast as lightning, and dragging it around, deflected the tiger's pounce.

Pressing the left hand on the tiger's soft belly hair again, with a spray of palm strength, the three-meter-long tiger was blown out of the sideways, turned around in the air for three and a half weeks, and landed lightly and safely.

Only then did Orion wake up like a dream, and took off the short bow on his back in a cold sweat of fright:

"Young hero beware!"

The Orion was about to draw his bow, but Brother Lin waved his hand gently behind his back, motioning him to wait a moment.

The tiger was pushed into the air by Lin Tianci, but it did not launch an attack. Instead, it showed a posture of bowing its head and surrendering, with its chin lying directly on the ground.

Lin Tianci once lived in a flying bear in his rucksack, and the remnant hair of the flying bear was still stuck in the gap. The hair of a powerful spirit beast alone was enough to scare away ordinary wild beasts, and even mosquitoes did not bother him along the way.

What's more, where ordinary people can't see, Linglong bared her teeth and claws in front of the big tiger and put on a 'super fierce' expression.

The wild beast is very sensitive and afraid of ghosts, so the big tiger dared not move.

However, it stands to reason that when Lin Tianci appeared, it should have turned around and ran away. Not only did it not run away, Lin Tianci actually saw a begging look in the tiger's eyes.

After thinking for a while, Lin Tianci said to Orion behind him:

"Brother, what did you do to make the tiger chase you?"

"This……"

Orion hesitated, Lin Tianci continued:
"If it is not resolved, it will never rest."

"Oh... I broke the rules."

Orion said as he took off the gray rucksack on his back, revealing a little tiger that didn't even open his eyes.

After stealing someone's child, it's no wonder that he chases after him.

Although the world looks like low productivity, it is actually environmentally conscious.

Hunters also have rules when hunting, pregnant mothers do not hunt, cubs do not hunt, and so on.That's what Orion said when he said he broke the rules.

The little tiger seemed to be still alive, but after staying in the airtight rucksack for a long time, the breath was relatively weak. Lin Tianci gave some mana, which brought the little tiger back to life.

Holding the cub in both hands, he walked up to the big one without fear.

The latter bit the cub's fur lightly, and bent down to Lin Tianci as if thanking him.

"Go, go, don't come to crowded places, go back to the mountains."

When the tiger was gone, Lin Tianci suddenly realized...

Does this count as letting the tiger go back to the mountain?What if they hurt someone again?

Thinking about it carefully, that big tiger is quite intelligent, and it is different from ordinary beasts, so it should not run away to places where humans are haunted.

"Thank you, young hero, for your help. If there is no young hero to help, my fate will be fulfilled."

The Orion was in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he didn't look like a bad guy, but he broke the rules among hunters.

"Brother, why are you poaching tiger cubs? Are you hunting alone?"

There Orion said in shame:

"My mother suffers from rheumatism and bone disease. I heard that tiger bones are useful, but the medicines in the city are too expensive. I can't fight big tigers, so I have to focus on young tigers."

Just as he was talking, a shout came from not far away:

"Brother Dog! Brother Dog!"

Lin Tianci turned his head and saw three or four people dressed as hunters coming from the forest. They were both young and old. The young ones were about 50 years old like Lin Tianci, and the older ones were around [-] years old. Years old, he should be a fellow hunter.

As soon as they approached, the oldest of them slapped the hunter who was poaching the cub:

"Well, you bastard, you dare to poach cubs behind our backs. If you are eaten by a tiger, how can I explain to your mother!"

Poor people have cheap names to make a living, this dog is not the lucky one...

"Papa Huang, I..."

"Go back and clean you up again!"

After glaring at Gouzi, Old Man Huang looked at Lin Tianci, thanked him again, and invited Lin Tianci to go back with them, intending to treat them well.

"By the way, do you all know that there is a Qingshui Village near here?"

Brother Lin did not forget the business.

Papa Huang replied:

"The young hero is looking for our cottage?"

These hunters are actually from Qingshui Village, do you mean the bandits also raise hunters?
"But from my point of view, you don't look like bandits who kill and rob."

Lin Tianci's physiognomy is not good, but it can be seen that these hunters have no lives in their hands.

If you kill someone, in a very fairy-tale style, it is karma-ridden. Although it will not have any impact, it can be seen at a glance just like PK red names in online games.

As for why there is only karma for killing people, but not for killing wild animals...

As I said earlier, people are the protagonists, and the beasts can only hold back if they refuse to accept it.

"Haha, what kind of bandits, the young man is definitely not from the local area, so he doesn't know the inside story."

Old Man Huang laughed and explained:

"This was all forced by the government. We were still villagers living in the village about ten years ago. Later, the taxes became higher and higher. From the beginning, the ten taxes were three, and later on, the ten taxes were five, and the ten taxes were seven. The villagers were exhausted. After working tirelessly for a whole year, we couldn’t even afford a full meal. Later, we simply set fire to the village and built cottages in other places, which looked like fallen bandits to the outside world, so that the government’s tax collectors would not dare to come.”

"But the abandoned village in the southeast of here?"

"Exactly, our village was originally called Qingshui Village, but now it is called Qingshui Village. I don't know who came up with the name. Obviously, our village doesn't even have a river."

It seems that Linglong really hit the mark.

There seem to be quite a few examples like Qingshui Village where the village was burned down and moved to other places to live. Judging from Old Man Huang's tone, this seems to be a common phenomenon.

But this is also very risky.

It sounds good, that is, you don't have to pay taxes or be bullied by the government, and you can find a place to live a life like a paradise.

But after all, they have changed from good people to grassroots bandits. In the future, if the government is free to send a large army to encircle and suppress them, these superficial cottages will not have any chance to resist.

This is also a helpless move, mainly because the government forced the common people too hard.

Koshihikari seems to have serious problems...

The common people are the foundation of a country, if the foundation is shaken, how long can the country last?
However, what happened to the Yueguang Kingdom had nothing to do with Lin Tianci, who belonged to the monk. He didn't want to and couldn't get involved in the mortal emperor's struggle for hegemony.

Hunters have the rules of hunters, and monks naturally have the rules of monks. If it is mixed in, it is of the same nature as a dog poaching a tiger cub.

Everyone walked and chatted, and Gouzi talked about how Lin Tianci dealt with the tiger vividly from behind, which made Lin Tianci feel a little embarrassed.

If he hadn't done it himself, Lin Tianci would have thought that what he was describing was a terrifying battle.

——So that's how the rumors came about.

Qingshui Village is not far away, everyone walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the village.

From the outside, this thing looks like a bandit's cottage. A mountain depression is blocked by a log wall, and there are people holding long guns on the huge gate of the village.

But once entering the village, it was a different scene, no matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary small mountain village.

Lin Tianci came back with him, not because he cared about their hospitality, but because he wanted to confirm whether Qingshui Village was a den of bandits.

People's hearts are separated by belly, no matter how nice the words are on the surface, Lin Tianci still needs to be more careful.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the scholars who died in the small temple in a daze were definitely not the work of Qingshui Village, these people were just a group of villagers who were forced to die.

After entering the gate of the village and unloading the prey on his body, Old Man Huang enthusiastically said:
"Please come with me. I have five years of good wine in the cellar. I will thank you young man later."

"Don't bother, Brother Gou said just now that his mother has severe rheumatic bone disease. I won't hide it from my father. I have also studied medical skills. If you trust me, I can try it."

Seeing that Gouzi was still in a daze, Old Man Huang slapped him on the back of the head:

"Don't hurry up and thank the young man, what are you doing stupidly?"

As the saying goes, an old man is like a treasure in a family. Father Huang is well-informed, and he can see Lin Tianci's extraordinaryness at a glance.

Nonsense, a young man in his teens who can repel tigers without any effort is definitely not an ordinary person.

Coupled with the temperament brought by Lin Tianci's practice of the Divine Talisman Art, Huang Laopa probably saw through his status as a monk, so he just pretended to be confused and didn't say it clearly.

"Oh, young man, come with me, my house is not far ahead."

Gouzi was a little dazed mainly because he was afraid. The excitement he had just described to others about how fast Lin Tianci made a move did not dissipate. Now that he entered the house and was safe, he was naturally a little unresponsive.

A more scientific explanation is that when a crisis comes, the secretion of adrenaline increases. Now that the crisis subsides, the function of adrenaline subsides, so it will naturally be a little sluggish.

Gouzi's home is indeed not far away, and it is less than 100 meters away after entering the gate of the village.

However, Lin Tianci saw a small road on the left side of his house leading to a higher hillside, and there was a very dilapidated hut on the hillside.

You will notice this, mainly because there are two rows of lush plum trees planted in front of the hut.

"Why is that house so dilapidated?"

The dog took a look and said:

"That's Yang Xiucai's house. They haven't lived here long ago."

When Lin Tianci heard this, he immediately became interested. The unlucky ghost in the ruined temple was also dressed as a scholar.

Seeing that Lin Tianci was interested, Gouzi didn't think too much about it, and explained:

"It's been almost ten years. Yang Xiucai's mother is the only doctor in our village. We can move here thanks to her mother's choice of location. But within two years of moving here, Yang Xiucai's mother took him with her. In the city, I heard that Yang Xiucai became the son-in-law of a rich family."

"Since they moved away long ago, how do you know he is a scholar now?"

"Not long ago, Yang Xiucai came back and said he came back to pack things at home. Good guy, if he didn't recognize me, I wouldn't recognize him at all. He looks so handsome. I also heard that he passed the exam. A scholar, maybe he has already become a high official."

Although I really want to complain about the scholar becoming an official, but from the description, he is similar to the confused scholar in the ruined temple.

coincidence?

If it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental...
