Volume 1, Ninth Day, Chapter 15, Stone Village
The old woman suddenly screamed in surprise: "Son, you finally woke up. Mom doesn't blame you, she only blames herself for not having the ability." As she said this, she lost her voice and started to suffer.
The dog was the same, hugging his head and crying. Seeing the mother and son crying bitterly, Gao Tao felt no emotion in his heart.
He believes that everyone is going to die, but the way of death may be different for everyone. Some people die a good death, some people die badly, some people die well, and some people die unexpectedly. But this person may be you today, and it may be him tomorrow.
He is not hard-hearted, but he has no control at all. This is only what he can see, and there are also things he cannot see. In the world where there are people, such things happen.
As for being able to help, he has no idea of helping anyone he meets. The most he can do is give them some money so that they can survive for a while. This is entirely due to seeing too much and too much sadness in his previous life.
It happened around me, and I was already numb.
Most of the time, if it doesn't concern you, you just ignore it. If it does, you just kill someone to pay for your life.
Seeing the two of them holding their heads and crying, Gao Tao just walked over silently, gave the mother and son some dried meat, and watched them devour it. After eating, Gao Tao gave them some broken silver, which should be enough for them to last for a while.
It's time.
As for after a period of time, Gao Tao is not his father and cannot control him that far.
Then the development of things often does not depend on human will.
The old woman and the dog boy knelt in front of Long Nu and Gao Tao, kowtowing continuously.
"Please save us, sir and his wife. We can't survive today, but we can't survive tomorrow. Please intercede with my master and let him collect less rent and taxes. You are all the same gods, so you can definitely do it."
The woman kept kowtowing, as if she wouldn't get up if she didn't agree.
Gao Taojiao observed them with interest and found that the old woman was serious. Yes, she was already going to die. Now, not only did she save her life, but she also met a god. If she could save her life,
In exchange for a better life for the whole family, there is no problem in letting her die immediately.
Gao Tao put his hands behind his back and turned his head to the sky. He didn't care, and was ready to let these two people beat him to death here. Then he went down the mountain and killed the one who was protecting him. Look, isn't this happy to everyone?
Gao Tao was still too confident, or maybe he ignored Long Nu's first real trip down the mountain. Her inner excitement always made her impulsive and want to do something.
No, this is what happened.
"You two, get up and I'll help you intercede." Long Nu agreed to them. She glanced at Gao Tao as she spoke.
Gao Tao immediately helped the two of them up and patted his chest to reassure them: "Don't worry, old man, we are good people. Whenever there is injustice on the road, we will naturally draw our swords to help. We will never allow such evil people to live in the world."
." The image instantly became much taller.
"No, no, no, we just asked the two gods to intercede for us and waive some taxes. We never thought about killing the master." The old woman and the dog boy became frightened, shook their heads repeatedly, and almost knelt down again.
Go down.
"Okay, okay, let's talk to your master and try to persuade him." Gao Tao comforted them with a pleasant look.
Generally speaking, Gao Tao would not veto the choice of Dragon Girl. In this case, if he rejects Dragon Girl, don't use this idea and throw it away.
When they came, the four of them went up the mountain one after another, and when they returned, the four of them went back together.
"Gouwa, what's the name of your village?"
"Stone Village. It is said that the former site of our village was a complete tall boulder. Later, the stone flew away, and the place left behind is called Stone Village."
"Then what's your master's last name?"
"Everyone in our village is named Shi, and my father's name is Shi Kuan, but he is not from our village. It is said that he is from the city." Gou Wa looked a little scared.
"How many wives does he have?"
"How many rooms?"
"Just how many?"
"Eight, one of them is newly married, from the next village. I heard that they are the most beautiful in their village. This year, their family will definitely become rich."
"Oh, that's it. It seems that Mr. Shi is still a sweet-tempered man, so you have to ask him for advice." Gao Tao smiled.
"What's going on with this tax? How can it be 80%?"
"When the previous master was here, it was 60%, and life was still going well. But for some reason, Mr. Shi suddenly came, and it rose to 80%. The previous master also disappeared." After saying that, he looked around and lowered his voice.
The voice said cautiously.
"They say he was killed by Master Shi. Some people say they saw the wife and daughter of the former master in Master Shi's house. Don't tell others." Just this time Gou Wa felt that Gao Tao was approachable and always wanted to be right.
He tells the truth.
"Hahaha, this Master Shi really knows how to enjoy himself. He is so corrupt." Gao Tao sighed with envy.
"Why, do you want to try it too? I can help you." Although Gou Wa thought he was very quiet, he obviously didn't understand supernatural beings, and everything he said was listened to by the dragon girl.
"Hahaha, don't blame me. I am many times more discerning than him. I just casually lamented that this man has so many wives, which affects the reproduction and harmony of the world. I can't help but want to criticize him. Don't worry, I will make him change his ways.
, join under the banner of justice." Gao Tao was full of nonsense.
"Humph." Longnu just warned him a little. After all, she knew what kind of person Gao Tao was, and he didn't mean what he said.
"Old man, how old are you?" Gao Tao turned around and asked the old man.
"As far as I can tell you, the old woman is already fifty." Gao Tao just found a topic to start the conversation.
"Although the old man is old, why do you die so easily? Let me tell you, your son is unfilial. Why don't you kill him? You will live a few more years." Gao Tao said with a smile.
It makes people's hands and feet feel cold. Gouwa's hands and feet were so frightened that his hands and feet instantly became cold, and all his good feelings turned into fear in an instant.
"I can't do it, I can't do it. The dog is a filial child. I have lived long enough. I can only live now thanks to the dog's filial piety. Otherwise, the old woman would not be able to live until now. She died a few years ago.
."
"Oh, he seems to be such a filial child." He reached out and touched Gouwa's head. Gouwa felt his scalp numb, as if a knife was placed on the top of his head, and his neck felt cold.
Gao Tao once again had the intention to kill. After all, he had different ideas. Everyone always has their own difficulties, but Gao Tao would not consider the problem from their perspective, he would only look at it from his own perspective. He thought
If you always look at problems from the perspective of others, you will lose your position, because from the perspective of others, you will find that the world is wrong and you will not be able to judge anything.
He thought Gouwa was unfilial and too weak, so he still wanted to kill him, kill Master Shi, and find another place for their mother-in-law. This would be perfect.
