Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 163 Brother 23: Abandoned Infant Mountain, Tyranny Is More Fierce Than a Tiger

But even so, few villages are as dilapidated as Yuan Village.

"Do the various gentlemen and ladies pay a lot of taxes?" Fusu was anxious and angry when he heard that Zhao Zhi was using himself and his mother, Mrs. Chu, to collect taxes.

"Except for the eldest son Fusu and Mrs. Chu, there are not many other sons and wives. The county guard said that the eldest son will be the future King of Qin, so the tax will naturally be higher than that of other sons. Mrs. Chu is the biological mother of the eldest son and the former princess of Chu State. , naturally a lot higher."

The old man sighed helplessly: "In this way, even if King Qin leaves and the eldest son becomes King Qin, our suffering will still be endless!"

This sentence hurt Fusu even more, and Dianwei behind him heard the old man saying bad things about his young master Fusu and seemed to step forward to stop him, but Fusu stretched out his hand and held Dianwei down.

"Aren't there any children in the old man's house? You said they can already go out to work with their parents?"

There were no tears in the old man's eyes, but he still raised his head and glanced at Fusu. His eyes were full of sadness: "Child, how dare you have a child? Not to mention whether you can support yourself, the tax on having a child is too high for us to bear. Sorry."

"The people of Qin just want us Zhao people to be exterminated!" The old man was sad and angry. He was so angry that he forgot the identity of the noble man in front of him as a Qin person.

"Old man, old man," Fu Su didn't know how to comfort him.

"My lord, shall I show you a place?" The old man asked when he realized that the young man and the sheriff might not be on the same side.

Looking at the sad eyes of the old man, Fu Su nodded dumbly. For some reason, Fu Su seemed to feel something bad, but he didn't want to admit it.

The old man found a wooden stick from the room and used it as his crutch, tremblingly leading the six Fusu people there.

The houses in the village are as dilapidated as those at the entrance of the village. Many of the houses are empty, and there are also a few houses where old people stand numbly at the door looking at the sky outside.

Their eyes were as empty as the old man in front of him. This was something Fusu had never seen in the eyes of the Qin people. Although the Qin people's military merit system made them become tigers, leopards and wolves in the mouth of the six eastern countries, this system did allow the people to have Hope of life.

Guanxi, where the Qin State is located, is suitable for farming, and a tax of two-tenths can be accepted by both the people and the court.

But Dai County is poor, and more than two-tenths of it will be taxed, and the people can't bear it even more.They are all numb, not only their eyes, but also their bodies are as thin as the old man in front of them.

"My lord, look at this," the old man took Fusu to a small hill at the back of the village.

What to see?Fusu looked at it, but there were some lush trees on the mountain that covered many things.

Fusu found out a very strange thing about why the trees on this hill were so dense. No other hills on the road had such dense trees.

Moreover, the trees on the mountain were clearly emerald green, but Fusu's hairs were bristling from top to bottom. There seemed to be a yin energy on this mountain.

As he got closer, Fusu probably saw clearly what was on the mountain. The crow's voice was so piercing, the 'cha-cha' made Fusu very upset.

There are many white bones on the hill, and the bones are very small, Fusu probably guessed what they were.

There was a baby on the bone that looked like it had just been discarded, Fusu hurriedly ran over regardless of the image, and stretched out his hand to hold the baby in his arms.

But Fusu came too late, the child in his arms was no longer breathing and became very cold.

Holding the cold corpse, Fusu's tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously, and he could hardly keep his mouth shut from crying.This is also the first time Fusu has cried in front of others since she came to this era.

The fastest runners following Fusu were Dianwei and Wangzhi. They looked at the young master who was kneeling and crying in front of the pile of bones, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

Han Qinhu who came from behind ran while protecting the two civil servants behind him, so he came slowly, but the three people who came later also saw this scene like Dian Wei.

"Young Master." The person who came up to persuade him was naturally Xun Yu who had been with Fusu the longest.

He walked slowly and stopped in front of the bones: "Master, now is not the time to cry bitterly. If Zhao Zhi is not eliminated as soon as possible, how many innocent people will die in one day?"

After hearing these words, Fusu finally put down the baby's body, took off his coat and covered it on top of his petite body.

"Let's go, we have to get to Daijun County today," Fusu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go first on horseback."

In fact, Fusu also learned to ride horses in Jiuyuan County. After all, with the stirrups and saddle designs he obtained, riding horses was much easier than before.

"Dian Wei, go and count the guards who can ride horses," Fusu ordered in a tone they had never heard before: "Zitong, you three brothers come with me!"

"Wei!" The two of them accepted the order, but they couldn't pull away. After all, they still had to protect the young master's safety.

"Why don't you leave?" Fusu looked up at the two of them.

Guo Jia also came to young master Fusu's side, and comforted him: "The two strong men are also worried about the safety of young master, so don't worry too much, young master."

At this time, even the frivolous Guo Jia couldn't laugh. Fu Su also listened to his advice: "Zitong, you go and take your brother with you, and count the guards who can fight on horseback. Wangzhi accompany you Let's find the Wang Companion together, and he will help you."

"Wei!" Han Qinhu quickly left with Wangzhi after receiving the order.

Fusu mourned for a while, and then resolutely walked down the mountain. When Fusu reached the foot of the mountain, he saw a woman holding a baby and about to abandon her on the mountain.

Seeing this scene, Fusu hurriedly stepped forward to stop it: "Please don't abandon the child, no one will collect taxes like newborns in the future."

But the woman looked at the bright clothes of the four, and thought they were sent by the county to collect taxes, and she didn't hear Fusu's words clearly, so she left the baby and ran away.

The baby girl who was thrown to the ground burst into tears, but because of her emaciated body, she lost her voice for a while. Fusu hurriedly picked her up, but luckily she was not injured.

"A tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger! A tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger!" Fusu watched this scene, and he will never forget it.

He looked at the two civil servants behind him. Guo Jia saw the young master's intention and took off his coat directly, covering the baby girl with the young master.

But it was just early spring, and there was still some cold weather that Guo Jia's thin body could not bear. He coughed twice in a row.

Xun Yu took off his clothes to Guo Jia again, but Dian Wei became an outsider because he didn't react, but he was not stupid, because he was in the best health.

When his large coat was put on by the young master, it could even be used as a battle robe, and a group of people walked out of the mountain in disheveled clothes.
