Xue Yan was just still using her skillful strength to hold back her cocoon, making her stick to the grass, unable to get up or break free.

Jiang Yue naturally opened her mouth again, and did not speak to the big peasant, but continued to say to the small peasant: "I ask you some questions, if you answer truthfully, we will let your son go."

"Okay, if you ask, if you ask, I will answer you honestly." The little peasant was busy again. For his son, he was nervous.

"Where is this place?" Jiang Yue asked.

"Where is this place?" The little peasant looked confused. "Are you lost? This is near Stone Village. Well, that is Stone Village. We are all villagers of that village. We really don't want to eat wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger, and the wild vegetables that just came out this year are almost dug up. If we don't eat anything else, we will eat grass, leaves and bark. We don't know if we can last until the crops mature this year. We don't want to rob you. It's hard, I just want to see if I can get some money to buy something to eat. If I can get some food directly, like steamed buns and steamed buns, of course it's the best. Those are all refined grains. We haven't eaten them for many years. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but you can be kind and let my son go, we promise not to dare again, I beg you." Speaking of this, he put his hands together and kept begging.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

Just looking at the clothes of these two people, I felt that the two of them had a hard time, but I didn't expect that life would be so hard, what is the difference between famine?

However, he was not in a hurry to release the big peasant. Jiang Yue asked again, "Since it is Stone Village, what is the name of the country it belongs to? What other countries are there?"

Hearing the words, the little peasant couldn't help muttering: "It's as if you are not from this world."

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan heard it, but did not speak.

The little peasant didn't know they had heard it, so after he finished his muttering, he quickly replied: "This is 'Dachen'! How can there be other countries? As early as two years ago, our Dachen wiped out other countries. , to rule the world! Even the emperor is too tyrannical, he is a big tyrant. After the world was ruled, we were still expecting a good day to come, who knows, life is getting harder and harder, taxation is heavy, and we don’t even look at the fields of the peasants. Every year, the harvest is weak, and the things we grow every year are not enough to pay the tax. If you don’t want to find a way to increase the income of the farmer’s fields, it’s fine. Why is this still happening? Doesn’t this make us farmers unable to live? Last year, our family barely paid the tax. This year, I feel the time I can't make it. Those who can't make it should be arrested by the government and used as coolies to build palaces and temples. That's fine. I heard that being coolies like this doesn't give you enough to eat, and the food is very poor. Many people You either die from exhaustion or starve to death. The problem is that officers and soldiers whip you with whips to make you work faster. If you can't work, you have to whip you until you can. I heard that many people are so out of breath. The tyrant also killed a lot of good officials, such as the prime minister who was dedicated to the people, and the censor who was outspoken and strong. He also killed many princes and nobles, so that I heard that no official dared to do so. If he bluntly persuaded him, the people gave up and felt that they could not see the light of day, so they could live a day for a day.”
