Tang Qingchen vaguely heard the conversation between the village chief and his wife.
"Old man, who's here?"
"It was a little girl who was passing by and insisted on staying overnight. I couldn't persuade her, so I let her stay in Yingzi's room for one night."
"Aren't you pushing someone else's child into the fire? Don't you know how Yingzi died?"
"Oh, forget it. She insists on staying. Let her go before dawn tomorrow."
"If Yingzi were still here, maybe..."
"Old woman, go to sleep." The village chief sighed and said nothing more. This is fate. Living at the lowest level of this society is just for survival.
Tang Qingchen smiled slightly. She roughly knew what had happened. She felt deeply sympathetic towards this matter, but she didn't know whether she should take action. This was a very tangled matter. She could solve the trouble temporarily, but she couldn't stay here forever afterwards.
If I take action, it will only be a momentary display of courage, and they will suffer even more severe retaliation later. So am I really helping them by taking action?
Tang Qingchen was a little hesitant. Although he guessed it, he didn't know whether he should take action or not. He still had to ask the person involved for his opinion on such matters.
Tang Qingchen did not sleep, but urged the blue silver grass to expand outward continuously. She wanted to understand the situation nearby.
As the blue silver grass continued to spread, Tang Qingchen roughly understood the situation. He continued to expand outward and found a manor not far away. It should be owned by a small noble. All the misery came from here.
Knowing the reason for everything, Tang Qingchen had no desire to sleep. Looking at the moon outside, he fell into deep thought for a moment. The world is so unfair. Some people are born with fine clothes and delicious food, while others cannot even afford to eat.
But absolute fairness is too illusory. Tang Qingchen has no illusions about it. Only when resources are absolutely abundant and everyone has everything they need, there will naturally be no fighting. But at that time, the creatures can no longer be called living creatures. They are waste and will only continue to degenerate.
In fact, Tang Qingchen has been wondering what role he plays in this world. You know, even without himself, the whole world will still develop well. So what is the difference between having himself and not having himself?
In the long wheel of time, one's existence is so insignificant.
Tang Qingchen shook his head and got rid of all the nonsense in his mind. He felt that he was always intermittently crazy. What did the development of Douluo have to do with him? He just needed to take care of the people around him.
A strange time travel brought me to this fantasy world. With such an experience, I have not lost anything. In other words, every day I live is a gain. Why should I think about these messy things? It's as if I can go back.
Before I knew it, it was already the second half of the night and time seemed to have passed quite quickly.
"Get up, get up, you old guys, hurry up and pay your taxes. If you don't pay the taxes in full today, you will all be chopped off."
There was a loud noise outside, and then an old woman came in in a panic. She took Tang Qingchen's hand and said, "Girl, hide quickly. We didn't expect those guys to come so early. Hide quickly and wait until they leave before coming out."
"Who are they?" Tang Qingchen smiled slightly, but she was not nervous at all. She felt these people as soon as they came in. Those three were ordinary people, maybe a little stronger, but there was no need to worry.
"Hey, my girl, you're still worried about this. Hide quickly, or your life will be in danger."
Tang Qingchen did not refuse her kindness. Under her guidance, he entered a cave to hide. Perhaps, she was just looking for an excuse. She did not intend to take action, nor was she indifferent. Such things were happening every moment in the world. Moreover, if she took care of it today, what about tomorrow?
Valley Flycatcher So, let's wait and see. If it's nothing serious, she won't take action.
"Old man, get up quickly. Today is the day to pay taxes, okay?" The two men kicked open the door of the village chief's house and walked in swaggeringly and arrogantly.
"I know, I know, butler. Our village's harvest is not good this year. I wonder if you can give us some time." The old man pleaded.
"Slowly? I'll slow it down for you, but Lord, can you slow it down for me?" The young man looked at the old man in front of him angrily, his eyes full of disgust.
"Sir, we really can't get anything out." The village chief knelt down and begged.
"Nothing? Search for me."
At the young man's command, two strong men rushed in and began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets.
The things in the room are clearly visible, and you can tell at a glance whether there is anything there.
"No, sir."
"No? What place is that?" The housekeeper pointed at Tang Qingchen's room.
"Sir, there is really nothing." The old man's face was a little panicked. The little girl must not be discovered.
"Nothing? I think you've hidden something. Search for me."
"Sir, please give me a way to live." The old woman rushed out and tried to stop the big man, but how could she be a match for two big men? She was pushed down with a wave of her hand, and blood kept coming out of her mouth.
"Old woman, old woman, how are you?" The village chief hurried over and hugged his wife. She was spitting blood from her mouth and it was obvious that she would not live long.
"You bunch of bastards, I'm going to fight you." The village chief still had some energy left. He rushed towards the housekeeper and grabbed the housekeeper's neck.
The housekeeper didn't know whether he was weak or what, but he was actually controlled by the old village chief. Fortunately, two of his men rushed over and subdued the old village chief, otherwise he would have been strangled to death.
"Cough, cough, this old thing, cough." The butler coughed madly. This old guy scared him to death.
"Hit him! This old guy actually dared to attack by surprise! Hit him! Beat him to death." It took a while for his red face to recover a little. The old guy was quite ruthless. What a pity, no matter how capable you are now, you will be gone.
"Even if the old man becomes a ghost, he won't let you go."
"Become a ghost? You have to have that ability. Your whole family is full of despicable bones, you too, and your son too. It's his blessing that the lord has taken a fancy to his daughter. He actually resisted. Isn't this courting death?"
"Bah." The village chief is very tough now. Things have come to this point. There is no point in begging for mercy. He is just a lonely man and has no reason to fear life or death.
"Tsk, what am I talking to you, old man? Beat me up. I want to see what good stuff you have hidden." As he was about to go into the house, the two strong men also started to fight.
"Hey, are you looking for me?" A voice came from the house.
