However, the Lu Family Village had not been living well recently. A multi-legged demon who claimed to be the king of the mountain had appeared out of nowhere. He called himself the multi-legged king and came to the village. He burned, killed, robbed, and committed all kinds of crimes. To protect the safety of the village, he had no choice but to listen to the multi-legged king's orders and send tributes every three months. Otherwise, he would have to offer a pair of virgin boys and girls for the multi-legged king to enjoy.
This was especially so after they had invited several so-called Demon Slayers, Demon Slayers, and Half-Immortals to come and subdue demons and demons. In the end, they had all become the food of the king of many feet, and the Lu Family Village had paid a high price for this!
They fled and couldn't bear to part with the ancestral business that their ancestors had worked so hard to build.
What should he do?
Then he could only obediently pay the tribute!
When the village chief and Minister Lu called out the name of a villager, the villager would step forward and hand over the tributes that should be paid to the family. Due to the different labor force of each household, the amount paid was different. In short, everyone worked together to gather the tributes that the Multi-legged King needed.
"Mom, I'm hungry, I'm hungry. I want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat steamed buns…"
One of the women was carrying a small child. The child's stomach was growling as he looked at the food under the wooden shelf and called out to his mother.
"Good child, good child. Bear with it, bear with it. When we get home later, Mommy will cook for you.”
The middle-aged woman's eyes were filled with tears as she comforted her child. She was thinking about what food she would have at home after paying the tribute. In the past, even if the situation was not good, the Lu family and the village were united. If your family had less, my family would give some. If my family had less, your family would gather some. Even if the child had to eat a hundred families 'food, he could still grow up.
But now, it was impossible. The Multi-Legged King was a great devil that shrouded the heads of the Lu Family villagers. Every three months, they would reincarnate. First, they had to satisfy the Multi-Legged King's tribute. Then, they would have to make a living. Otherwise…Who would be willing to let their children become offerings to the demons?
Which family's child wasn't their favorite?
So your family is willing to let your child be a tribute?
"Um, Lord Village Chief, my eldest son, Passerby A, has not returned from hunting. Now that the tribute is not enough, can you slow down?”
In the past, the passers-by who had a large labor force could be considered a wealthy family in the village and lived comfortably. Unfortunately, ever since the arrival of the Multi-legged King, the tributes were distributed to the Lu Family Village. The passers-by Ding Family, who had four laborers, needed a lot of tributes every three months. Their originally comfortable life had become tight.
And now, it had already reached the point where they could not gather enough tributes without going out to hunt.
However, the tributes of the King of Many Feet had to be paid, and their family had to survive. They also needed food for six or seven people.
"Lu Rending, I know that your family is in trouble, but why don't you think about it? Which family in the entire Lu Family Village isn't in trouble? Who wouldn't be sad? Three months ago, in order to gather the tributes for the Multi-Legged King, her husband went out hunting and passed away. Today, didn't she still sell everything she had to gather the tributes? No matter how difficult your family is, is it as difficult as the Lu family's wife?”
The village chief stroked his beard and shook his head. He said helplessly,"
"Passerby, this tribute is not a small matter. You don't want our entire village to face the disaster of being wiped out because of the tribute you lack. As the village chief, I have to be fair. If you can't afford it, we'll gather the rest together. Your child will become a backup tribute for the Multi-legged King.”
