I of Douluo created the supreme fairyland
Chapter 46 Bauhinia Village (33)
Bauhinia Village is located on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, at the junction with the Star Luo Empire.
Because of the unique environment of the village, it is rich in a rare plant called redbud, which also belongs to the soul beast like the blue silver grass.
The petals are picked and squeezed out to make flower dew, and the dried fruit can also be used to make tea, which is beneficial to the practice of soul masters, hence the name.
However, although there is such a treasure as the Bauhinia flower, it has not brought any prosperity, wealth and happiness to the Bauhinia Village.
On the contrary, the existence of Bauhinia flowers brings only pain and oppression to Bauhinia Village!
……
"Is this the Bauhinia Village?"
In a black Haloxylon forest, on a slightly muddy road, a young man dressed in black, with long blond hair and blue eyes, with a high nose bridge and sunken eye sockets, stopped at a crooked wooden sign beside the road forward.
On the wooden sign, crookedly rested three characters of Douluo Continent: Bauhinia Village.
But just as the young man was about to cross the wooden sign and continue to walk forward along the road, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes and faint voices from behind.
Soon, a few carriages came quickly from behind, and the wooden wheels rolled over the wet soil on the road. When the horseshoes stepped on it, large swathes of mud were splashed, and they quickly disappeared in front of the young man.
"Is it such a coincidence?"
A lot of mud was splashed on his body, but the young man remained calm. He stretched out his right hand and wiped the mud on his face with his fingers, while squinting slightly, watching the carriage ahead.
Just now he clearly saw a young man in brocade clothes sitting in the most luxurious carriage headed by him.
The young man was clearly a nobleman.
But it will appear in a remote village like Zijing Village. According to the information he has investigated, this nobleman is probably still the lord of Zijing Village.
Maybe he can just catch a good show?
Thinking of this, the young man immediately quickened his pace and walked forward along the road.
On the other side, there is Bauhinia Village at the end of the road.
Although it is called a village, Zijing Village used to be very rich because of its special product of bauhinia, so it has a large population and its scale is not inferior to ordinary towns.
At the gate of Zijing Village, several carriages stopped outside Zijing Village.
The expressions of the villagers in Zijing Village changed drastically. Villagers with wives and daughters quickly asked their wives to hide in their houses, while they quickly took out barrels of redbud flower petals from their homes and put them outside their houses.
After the carriage stopped, in the most luxurious carriage headed by him, a young man in brocade clothes and full of makeup lifted the curtain.
At the same time, the servant driving the carriage quickly got out of the carriage, lay down on the ground, let the young man step on his back, and descended to the ground.
When the youth got off the carriage.
In the rest of the carriage, servants who were tall and burly, with fierce faces, and holding various weapons such as sticks and whips also got out of the carriage one after another and gathered behind the young man.
After getting off the carriage, the noble youth waved his hand to the village in front of him.
The servants behind him rushed out in a file, grinning grimly at the nearest house, walked over, and began to collect the land tax from house to house.
"My lord, this is our family's territory tax for this month."
In front of the houses, all of them were extremely thin, with sunken cheeks. The obviously malnourished young and middle-aged people said to the servants who came to collect taxes with apologetic smiles on their faces.
"Why are there only so many? Didn't you say that you need to pay 130 catties of redbud petals and dried fruits this month?!"
In front of a room, a strong servant who came to collect taxes with a thick wooden stick saw that there were only nine barrels of bauhinia flower petals and dried fruits in front of him.
"Ah!! One... 130 catties? Didn't it only cost 120 catties last month?"
Hearing this, the young man, who was wearing tattered clothes full of patches, with a thin body and sunken cheeks, could not help but change his face, and shouted hastily.
"Last month it was only 120 catties, but this month the price has increased!"
The strong servant had a sneer on his face, holding a thick wooden stick in his right hand and beating his left hand, full of threats and warnings.
"But you didn't notify them in advance! And how many times have they been raised, we really can't pay so much."
"In order to pay so many redbud petals and redbud fruit, we have already planted redbuds in the farmland. If we continue to plant them, we will all starve to death!"
The young man clenched his fists and roared in despair.
"Don't talk so much, you have to pay me as much as you are asked to pay. If it is really not enough, you can use money, your wives and daughters to pay for it!"
The burly servant sneered, and hit the young man with a wooden stick, knocking him to the ground in an instant, and then stepped on the young man forcefully.
"You are missing ten catties of redbud flower petals and dried fruits. Tell me, do you want to pay for it with money, or what? It's 3 gold soul coins."
"I don't have that much money!!"
The young man struggled vigorously, but he couldn't get rid of it at all, and he couldn't help crying with tears streaming down his face.
"No money!"
Hearing that there was no money, the strong servant's expression changed, and he roared angrily.
"If you don't have any money, then take something from your house to pay for it!"
After finishing speaking, the strong servant kicked the young man out, turned around and kicked open the door of the young man's house, walked in fiercely, and soon saw a young woman who was also malnourished holding a little girl in horror.
"Haha! Little girl? Since your family owes taxes, let's use you to offset the debt!"
Seeing the young woman, the strong servant's eyes lit up immediately, and after laughing wildly, he stepped forward to take the young woman away.
"Let go of her!"
But at this time, the young man rushed in angrily, picked up the small wooden stool beside him, and roared to knock down the strong servant, but unfortunately he was no match at all, and was directly beaten out by the strong servant with a stick.
And similar and identical scenes happened simultaneously in the rest of the houses in the whole village.
Because of the sudden increase in the lord's tax, most of the villagers did not prepare so many bauhinia petals and dried fruits, and were rushed into the house one by one by tax-collecting servants.
These servants took valuables when they saw them, and they were ready to forcibly take away little girls when they saw them.
Because of the feng shui of Zijing Village, the women in Zijing Village are often good-looking. These girls are well-raised, and they can be sold for a good price.
So all along, just like raising pigs, once a girl of a certain age is found in Zijing Village, the Viscount of the territory will bring people to snatch her.
For a moment, crying and roaring resounded throughout the village.
And although this is not the first time such a thing has happened, there are still many men and women trying to resist and want to get their children back.
But unfortunately, the malnutrition caused by being squeezed for a long time made them no match for these strong servants. Many men were directly beaten to serious injuries and fell to the ground vomiting blood.
"Hey!"
At this time, a young man came to Zijing Village at some unknown time, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw the tragic scene in front of him.
Although he knew what happened in Zijing Village long ago, and he came here on purpose, but he still couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene with his own eyes.
In Douluo Continent, a world with extraordinary bloodlines, class solidification is more serious, and this nobleman is even more inappropriate!
And looking at everything in front of him, a strong servant held a long whip in his hand, pinched a little girl under his arms, kicked the little girl's father to the ground, and beat the whip severely on her body. When he was beating him to the brink of death, the young man finally made a move.
