I'm the fourth calamity, but they call me a saint

The middle-aged farmer took Li Wei to the old forest behind the village.

There are densely packed tombs here, but none of them has an inscription. Even if someone wants to pay homage, they can't find whose tomb is whose.

"La la la, la la la, we have meat again today! This is chicken, this is duck, this is pork, this is fish, they are all delicious meat!"

A dirty boy wearing only a pair of tattered trousers was holding a lump of mud in his hand, singing and jumping in the forest.

He looked to be eight or nine years old at most, his body was extremely dirty, and his dark skin was supported by his ribs, like a skinny monkey with no hair.

The boy noticed that someone was coming. He smiled and ran to Levi holding the mud in his hands.

"I'll treat you to meat!"

This frightened the middle-aged farmer beside him so much that he trembled all over and pulled the boy aside. Because of the force, the boy was dragged to the ground and the mud on his hands fell off.

After falling, he seemed to be stunned, staring straight at the mud and mumbling to himself stupidly.

"The meat is gone, mom, the meat is gone."

"Master! Don't give this crazy kid a chance! He has stained your eyes! I will definitely teach him a lesson later!"

The middle-aged farmer's face was full of pleading. He was afraid of the noble man in front of him who was obviously from the city. In a rage, he couldn't even save the last seed left by the third generation village four years ago!

Levi ignored his pleas for mercy and just stared at the boy.

"How did he go crazy?"

"It's all his parents' fault! It's his fault that the farmers in that generation of villages were unwilling to endure hardship! They didn't know how to work hard, and they can only blame themselves for starving to death! It's their own fault!"

The middle-aged farmer was frightened by Li Wei's question. He was terrified, fearing that if he said a wrong word, it would bring disaster to the whole village!

"What I'm asking is, how did he get so crazy!"

Levi took a heavy breath and asked again in a cold voice.

The middle-aged farmer was frightened and sweatdropped on his forehead. He already regretted it to the extreme. He had known that he should not have brought this old man to this place.

He didn't know if this question was a trap, because there had been too many cases like this before, but they had already been pressed to this level, and he didn't think that the man from the city really didn't know what happened back then.

So, he was determined and decided to tell the truth.

"The natural disaster that year left his family unable to eat even a single meal. His mother couldn't bear it anymore, so she discussed with his father that she would drink medicine and let the father and son eat it so that she could survive. His father agreed and lied to him that the meat was Chicken, duck, pork, and fish, but even so he couldn't hold on. His father forced him to kill himself. He told him that the meat he had eaten before was actually his mother, and asked him to survive even if he ate it. "

"He survived and went crazy."

"."

After a long silence, Levi's originally cold voice now calmed down, so calm that it was a bit scary.

"A natural disaster? The weather in the underground city is controlled by humans. How can there be a natural disaster?"

The middle-aged farmer's whole body was shaking like chaff on the spot, he knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Li Wei!

"Yes, yes, I am confused! It's my stupid mouth! It's not a natural disaster! There is no natural disaster at all, it's the farmers themselves who are lazy! When they should have harvested, they didn't work in time! In that year, all the gentlemen were also affected. , and you are kind enough to give us tax cuts, thank you sir!

Levi forcibly pulled him up from the ground, staring into the eyes full of fear and panic.

"Don't call me master, and don't kneel and kowtow to me! I'm not the landlord of Zhulan, I'm from the sun. According to the contracts you mentioned that the masters signed with the workers in the sun, they should have been able to do it a year ago. They came home with money, but now there is only one crazy kid left! I just want to know how and who died!"

The middle-aged farmer was forced to look into Li Wei's eyes. The originally timid eyes became a little confused and helpless after hearing his words.

Zhulan bought people from other cities, not just once or twice, but for a year or two. So many people died in the meantime. I don’t know how many people can’t return to their hometowns, but no city dweller has ever made a special trip just for this. This is where things came from.

He didn't know whether Li Wei's words were true or false, but he also understood that the young man in front of him must not have been sent by the masters to tell lies, and he also knew whether it was time for him to tell the real truth.

"The weather is controlled by people, that is, because it is controlled by people. One, more than a year ago, it was said that an old man in the city wanted to see snow to celebrate his birthday! Let the adults who control the weather control it, It snowed heavily for a week!”

"The farmers in the village did not receive any notice at that time, so they could only try their best to harvest harvestable crops when it started to snow, but most of them froze to death in the fields! As a result, the land tax for that year still had to be paid according to the original Pay the amount!”

"The farming people were fine. It happened to be a change of season. They could still live after paying the land tax. But, the people who were responsible for planting fruit trees in the village had nothing! The tax collector rushed into their house and took away all the edible things in their house. They took away not even a grain of rice. In that year, many people died, and many people who grew fruit trees died. People like me who originally farmed were transferred over to reorganize the Fourth Army. Dai Hongzi Village.”

The middle-aged farmer finally finished his story after stumbling over it, and Li Wei let him go, then slowly walked into the mass graves and found a worn-out sickle from the soil.

"Do you know what the old man who wants to see the snow is called?" he asked softly.

The farmer kept shaking his head.

"No, we don't know. We only know that he is a relative of the tax collector in charge of dozens of villages in our area!"

"What is the name of your tax collector? Where does he live?"

"Our tax collector's surname is Zhu. He lives in an apartment with two big willow trees at the door at the westernmost end of the city. I went there to pay grain before."

Li Wei turned around silently with the broken sickle, walked out of the graveyard, left the village, and returned to the car.

Then he started the engine, turned around, and drove towards the west of the city with a clear goal.

At the same time, in a village not far from Hongzi Village that was also responsible for fruit trees.

Wearing a cap and a high ponytail, the girl still couldn't hide her temperament even if she changed into the same ragged and dirty clothes as the farmers around her. She stared blankly at the empty and dilapidated shed in front of her, and finally fell to the ground helplessly.

After a long time, she stood up again, found a rusty kitchen knife from the empty shed, turned around and walked out of the village.

I stayed up late to write two chapters, changed my schedule, and strive to update at noon every day in the future
