at the same time.
During the few days that Zhao Lei was in seclusion.
Lijiacun has also undergone some changes.
First of all, it is Li Jincheng.
He has always longed for recognition. I am eager to do something to give back to the village and repay the village for its nurturing grace over the years.
Last time, he finally managed to obtain tax exemption and exemption from corvee from the county magistrate.
I thought that he, Li Jincheng, had finally made a real contribution to the village, but he didn't expect that this credit would be taken away by Zhao Lei.
As a result, he was devastated.
However, when I thought about it, the county magistrate exempted the village from taxes and corvee services indeed because of the existence of the Tiger King. In this matter, he was just a microphone at best, so he thought Learn a lot and get back on your feet.
Later, when he stepped out of the room again, he found that the rollover created by King Tiger had really succeeded!
At that moment, he was really excited beyond measure.
Since the overturn was successful, it means that all the knowledge taught by King Tiger is true!
So as long as he continues to study with King Tiger, wouldn't it be just around the corner to gain fame? !
Yes, that’s right!
Taxes and corvee can be avoided for a while, but they cannot be avoided for a lifetime!
Then he would work hard to become a scholar and help the village to be permanently exempted from taxes and corvee. When the time comes, no one will be able to erase their own contributions and merits!
As a result, he returned to the passionate young man he was before. On the left, Kong said Chengren, and on the right, Mencius said Qiyi.
He worked hard to teach and discussed with the villagers the knowledge he learned from Zhao Lei.
Silently waiting for Zhao Lei to come out of confinement.
…
Secondly, there are people outside the village.
Previously, the news about the appearance of monsters in Lijia Village had already spread in Xuanyang City. However, the people at that time were unable to determine whether the news was true or false, so they could only stay away from Lijiacun as much as possible.
But after a thousand guards gathered at the city gate, Xuanyang City, including the villages surrounding Xuanyang City, were basically certain that there really were monsters in Lijia Village.
However, at present, no one is sure whether the other party is a fairy or a demon.
This has become a hot topic after dinner.
The storyteller in the teahouse has even begun to make up some stories about how wonderful it was when Zhao Lei and several monsters fought with the Black Tiger Gang.
Some people say that Zhao Lei is a demon to describe him as sinister and terrifying.
Some people say that Zhao Lei is an immortal and describe him as compassionate.
In short, two major factions were completely formed.
Some people think that Zhao Lei is a demon, some people think that Zhao Lei is an immortal, and some people try to avoid having anything to do with Zhao Lei.
So, driven by curiosity, even though Hu Dingyong had warned everyone not to contact Lijiacun that day.
But there are still some guys who can't control their curiosity. They often pass by the entrance of Lijia Village intentionally or unintentionally, but they dare not go in.
As soon as people from Lijia Village leave the village entrance, everyone will rush forward to ask questions.
The people of Lijiacun went out like celebrities, and they were surrounded by stars.
If you are afraid of society, avoid it for fear of being out of reach.
Those who are social cows are happy.
Whenever I have time, I will go out for a walk in the village.
Among them, Li Si is the most obvious. After tasting the vanity of being praised by the stars on the first day, he went out often.
On the second day, he met his good brother Zhang San from the next village.
If anyone in the entire Xuanyang City, including the surrounding villages, cares most about the affairs of Lijiacun, it must be the people of Zhangjiacun.
After all, Lijiacun is right next door, and whether Zhao Lei is a demon or an immortal, it is very important to them.
This is related to whether they want to leave Zhangjiacun or go to worship and ask for asylum.
Therefore, Zhang San, who was as skinny as a stick and swaying in the wind, also waited near the entrance of Lijia Village for a long time. As soon as he saw Li Si coming out of the village, he endured the torture caused by hunger and shouted: "Li Si !John Doe!"
Li Si, who was admired by the stars, looked up when he heard someone calling him.
Seeing that it was his brother Zhang San who called him, he was also happy: "Sorry, my brother is calling me, so I'll excuse you now. Let's talk again when we have a chance."
After that, he walked towards Zhang San.
As soon as he came to Zhang San, he immediately gave Zhang San a hug.
This scared Zhang San very much.
He vaguely remembered that Li's head was almost the same as his own, so how could he become so powerful?
After Li Si let go of him, he looked carefully and realized that his former good brother Li Si seemed... to have grown stronger?
Still have oil on your face?
"Zhang San, long time no see! How are you? How are you doing recently?"
Zhang San thought that he picked some wild fruits to eat yesterday, which were pretty good compared to others, so he replied: "It's... not bad. What about you? How are you doing lately? I heard that your village A monster appeared? Is it true?"
Li Si nodded bitterly.
He didn't know how many times he had shown this expression.
Zhang San immediately asked: "Then what happened to your village...and why did you become stronger too?"
Li Si sighed loudly: "Hey, Brother Zhang, don't look at me now. I'm well fed, sleeping warm, and in great health. Actually, that's because the king plans to keep us in Lijia Village in captivity and eat them after we're fattened up. It’s better for you, Zhangjiacun, to be free. From now on, we, Lijiacun, can’t help ourselves~”
Hearing that he was full, Zhang San couldn't help but swallowed.
"Then...then why don't you run away?"
Li Si said helplessly: "We can't escape~ We escaped, and the king's next target is your Zhangjia Village. So, we stay here to protect you, Brother Zhang."
Zhang San opened his mouth in shock, not knowing what to say.
Li Si ignored his reaction and continued to complain: "Hey, you don't know. How hard life is in our Lijia Village now. The king likes to eat scholars, so he forces the whole village to read and read together. I am not talented. I only learned a thousand words yesterday. From now on, when I go outside, I can be said to be half a scholar."
"Hey~, also, in order to fatten us up, the king also taught us how to fish. He even occasionally caught some game and shared it with everyone. Not only that, he also exempted us from taxes this season and the corvee for the coming year. . Doesn’t this make it clear that we are all going to be killed together?”
"Hey, there is no hope for our Lijia Village. Now we can only hope that we can live a good life before being eaten by the king..."
Speaking of this, Li Si accidentally burped.
The burps also smelled like meat.
This made Zhang San stunned.
While I was stunned, I was also filled with doubts.
Why do I always feel like my brother talks about being bitter, but his face is full of happiness?
"Sorry, I ate too much this morning and couldn't hold it back," Li Si didn't know what Zhang San was thinking, and he was still apologizing for the hiccups he just had.
Zhang San:......
