Chapter 26 Excessive taxes are fiercer than tigers
The snake was so small that Li Chengfei had the illusion that he could crush it with just one foot.
Just when this thought flashed through his mind, he saw the snake bow its body, suddenly jump up, and bite his calf.
Fortunately, Li Chengfei had strong consciousness and quick reaction. He took a step back and with a "chirp" sound, the little snake fell to the ground.
Li Chengfei did not dare to step forward blindly and stepped on it with his feet, and quickly exited the house.
After the little snake scared away Li Chengfei, it swam quickly and burrowed into the corner.
"Huh? This little thing is going to become a spirit!"
Li Chengfei said softly.
This snake is about the size of chopsticks, yet so ferocious.
He stimulated his stomach with his consciousness, opened his mouth and spit out the space ring. He scooped a ladle of water from a water tank at the door of the house, rinsed it, and put it on his hand.
This small world belongs to him, he finally has a safe haven, and he can take out this space ring freely.
With a flash of consciousness, a flamethrower appeared in his hand.
Because he didn't know what he would encounter when he arrived in the fairy world, he prepared a complete set of supplies in the space ring, including various weapons.
With a flamethrower on his back and a spray gun in his hand, Li Chengfei walked into the room again.
The layout of this room is extremely simple, and it can best be described as a house with bare walls.
There was only a bed made of wooden boards and a few stones placed in the middle of the room as tables and chairs. The little snake had nowhere to hide, and was now swimming along the corner of the wall.
Li Chengfei pulled the trigger.
call!
A burst of flame swallowed up the little snake.
The little snake rolled back and forth and stopped moving for a while.
Li Chengfei controlled the intensity so that the flames would flash briefly and the stone house would not be ignited.
But as soon as the flames flashed, in addition to the little snake, many small insects crawled out in fright, including even two poisonous scorpions...
This shocked Li Chengfei.
How did the last drug boy live here and survive?
He burned the ground and stone walls with flames.
On earth, he had seen that farmers in the north were accustomed to burning the straw after harvesting corn. On the one hand, the plant ash was used as fertilizer, and on the other hand, the ground was burned to kill the insects and insect eggs. Next year,
There will be no insect infestation.
For farming in developed countries, flame spray is used to kill insects. Before sowing, the ground is burned with flames, which also has the same effect.
Li Chengfei developed a new use for flamethrowers - killing insects.
After killing the insects, clean up the remains of the snakes and insects. Then sprinkle the newly purchased realgar around the house and on the roof.
Li Chengfei felt a little relieved and prepared to take a rest.
As he was sitting on the bed, the board tilted and he almost fell to the ground.
This bed is just a wooden board with several stones underneath.
This environment is really difficult.
Li Chengfei could only smile bitterly and set up the bed. Fortunately, he listened to the handyman and bought new bedding, otherwise he would have suffered a lot tonight.
He put the flamethrower beside him for backup, and took out a powerful shotgun, a pistol, and several grenades, all of which were placed within easy reach.
Fortunately, his space ring was big enough. Before he prepared to enter the fairy world, half of the space in his ring was used to hold various top weapons, and the other half was used to hold rare treasures...
Having these things to defend himself gave him a lot of peace of mind.
The sun went down, the sky became dark, and the surroundings were pitch black.
Li Chengfei prepared wilderness survival equipment, including a charging panel and camping lights. But in this unknown place, making it too bright may not be a good thing.
Being completely dark and blending in with the surroundings is actually a form of self-protection.
Li Chengfei just put a military flashlight beside him and lay down to sleep.
The house is dilapidated, the door cannot be bolted and is roofed with stones. The night breeze blows in through the windows, which makes it a bit cold.
"This house is really shabby. Fortunately, the handyman said that there is a protective formation around it to drive away wild beasts. As long as it is safe, I will run it well and live here comfortably for five years.
Let’s talk about other things.”
Li Chengfei was thinking about how to run this small courtyard and what to add to make his life more comfortable. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.
In a daze, I heard a bang, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Li Chengfei was always on high alert when he first arrived in a strange place. When he heard the sound, he woke up immediately. He reached out to touch the shotgun first and held the cold body of the gun, feeling a little at ease.
Only strong attack power can bring him a sense of security.
Li Chengfei lay on the bed and did not dare to move. He heard footsteps in the yard outside and heavy breathing.
There happens to be a moon tonight. Although it is not a full moon, the moonlight is bright. Under the light, I can see an eye-catching tiger pacing slowly in the yard.
"Um???"
Li Chengfei's eyes widened and he was so nervous that his breathing almost stopped.
Is there a protective formation that can be said to drive away ferocious beasts?
peat!
This is too confusing!
Fortunately, he has many hot weapons, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with an eye-catching tiger.
This tiger was just bigger, more majestic and mighty in appearance, but Li Chengfei didn't feel any demonic aura from it.
It shouldn’t be a monster!
This is easy to handle!
If he were an ordinary handyman, wouldn't he have to feed the tiger tonight and become its feast?
Li Chengfei was a little angry in his heart. He knew that the immortals didn't take mortal lives seriously, but wasn't this too serious?
Whoops!
Whoops!
The sound of heavy breathing reached outside the window, and it seemed that he smelled a human scent. The eyed tiger twitched its nose, sniffed hard, turned its head to the window, and looked into the room.
When it saw someone in the room, it suddenly became excited.
next moment.
boom!
The barrel of the shotgun sprayed with fury, and the bullets whizzed, almost hitting the tiger's head, hitting it right in the face.
This powerful shotgun is a new product developed by military experts from the Daqian Academy of Sciences. It is so powerful that it can kill an elephant with one shot.
He got up close and hit the tiger on the head, killing it with one shot.
Poor this eye-catching tiger, it was so ferocious that before he could react, he was beaten to the point where his brains burst out and he died tragically on the spot.
Li Chengfei did not dare to be careless. He held a shotgun in his hand and stepped forward to confirm that the tiger was completely dead. He checked the yard again and made sure there was no other danger before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at my palms again, they are all covered in sweat.
Facing a tiger at such a close range, even with thermal weapons, is a very dangerous thing.
"What is going on? Is there a protective formation in this yard? If not, this life will be impossible!"
A dazzling tiger can jump in tonight, and a wolf can run in tomorrow night...
Outside the yard, there are deep mountains and old forests. Who knows how many ferocious beasts there are?
Forget it's just an ordinary beast, what if a monster comes one day?
Li Chengfei rubbed his forehead.
My head hurts!
This time, he could no longer sleep and kept his eyes open until dawn.
Looking at the fields around the courtyard, I don’t know what kind of medicinal materials are planted. They are densely packed and covered with weeds.
There was a patch of medicinal plants that had been trampled and fallen, and several of them had fresh trampling marks last night... It seemed that wild beasts had come in, not just once or twice.
Li Chengfei's face was gloomy.
Even though I was annoyed, there was nothing I could do about it.
It takes half a day to ride a horse from here to the sect's station. He can't just run back to bring in reinforcements, right?
What's more, even if he runs back, no one may pay attention to him as a handyman.
"It seems that I can only find a way on my own."
Li Chengfei first dragged the eye-catching tiger to the backyard and skinned it.
Tiger meat sounds domineering, but it's actually not very tasty.
But for Li Chengfei now, it is good to have meat to eat. He cut it and dried it.
The tiger skin was spread on the bed, which was quite warm.
Then, bury the blood stains with soil to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other beasts.
After sorting out these things, I stewed a pot of tiger meat in a pot. After eating, I felt lazy and lay down to rest, which was very comfortable.
At this time, I saw a figure flickering outside the yard.
Li Chengfei immediately became energetic.
"Huh? Someone! The new medicine boy is here so soon?" someone said.
They were two people, wearing handyman clothes, carrying bamboo baskets and holding hoes.
When Li Chengfei saw this, he opened the door and walked out.
"You two little brothers, what are you doing?" It was not easy to meet someone, and he was a bit friendly.
"We are medicine-gathering boys. We go to the mountain to collect medicine for the immortal master." One person said.
"Collecting medicine?" Li Chengfei was slightly startled, and looked at the two of them. They were both mortals, with no mana fluctuations on their bodies, and no powerful weapons.
I couldn't help but remind me, "You two, there are ferocious beasts on this mountain! Yesterday, a dazzling tiger ran over and scared me. It's probably dangerous for you two to enter the mountain like this."
The two people smiled, and one of them said:
"We grew up in a village at the foot of the mountain. How could we not know that there are tigers on the mountain?"
"However, our village is under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect. Every family has to pay taxes, land tax, Ding tax, and various miscellaneous taxes and corvees to the Immortal Sect... It is really overwhelming."
"Fortunately, the immortals are kind and righteous and have given us a way to survive. As long as one person from the family goes to the mountain to collect medicine, three people in the family can be exempted from the tax. So, even though we know there are tigers on the mountain, we still have to go up the mountain every day!" This chapter has been completed!
