"I know, I know. Village chief, I, I just want to delay it for a few days. My eldest son will definitely come back, he will definitely come back!”
The passer-by nodded awkwardly. He naturally knew about the Lu family's wife. He heard that if it wasn't for Minister Lu's help this time, her child would probably have been sacrificed to the Multi-legged King as a backup tribute.
The Multi-Legged King had to pay tribute once every three months. If he paid enough, nothing would happen. If it was not enough, he would need young boys and girls to pay tribute. But who would be willing to use their own children as tribute? He could only use his family and children who could not afford to share the tributes.
To put it bluntly, the so-called spare tributes of the king of many feet were the children that the Lu Family Village would use to compensate when they could not afford to pay tributes.
Minister Lu, who was wearing clothes that were obviously much better than linen clothes, looked at the restrained passersby and sighed.
"Passerby, we're all from the Lu Family Village, so we naturally have to help each other. However, friendship is friendship, and tributes are tributes. This time, if your family is really lacking, you can borrow money from me like the other villagers.
You see, I can even help an orphan and a widow like the Lu family's wife, not to mention that your family has strong men. As long as you get through this juncture, your family will be able to survive.”
"This... This was…I wonder how Minister Lu will borrow money?”
Passerby Ding hesitated. Compared to borrowing money from Minister Lu, he was more unwilling to let his child become a backup tribute for the king of many feet. After all, the only child of the Passerby Ding family was his grandson!
Official Lu revealed a benevolent expression, looking as if he was doing this for his own good, but his eyes fell on the lady of the Lu family in the crowd.
Using ten acres of fertile land as collateral for a loan?
"This, this…"
The passerby hesitated. This time, he really hesitated. It was not easy to reclaim an acre of fertile land here. Occasionally, wild beasts would appear in the deep mountains and forests. All kinds of animals and pests would steal and destroy crops. It was difficult to move forward.
These ten acres of fertile farmland were cultivated by the passerby's family after spending a lot of effort. The whole family was still counting on digging food from here to survive!
This was the lifeblood of the Ding Family!
"Passerby Ding, have you thought about it? If the land is gone, you can reclaim it. If the child is gone, it's really gone. Besides, when you have money, you can redeem it back.”
Minister Lu wore a round minister's hat and spoke with confidence. He stroked the small mustache on his lips and tried to persuade the passerby. Just as the passerby hesitated, a panicked scream came from the entrance of the Lu Family Village.
"Not good, not good, demon…The demons have entered the village!"
What was that?
How was this possible?
In the large square in the middle of the Lu Family Village, everyone was terrified. To them, what they feared the most was not the appearance of wild beasts, black blind men, or large insects, but demons with endless demonic spells!
A monster that ate people without blinking!
"No, that's impossible. The three-month deadline hasn't expired yet. It's impossible for the king to come at this time. Don't talk nonsense!”
Minister Lu stood up with an ashen face and scolded the villagers who came to report,
"Member…M-Minister, no, it's not the king of many feet, it's, it's other demons, it's other demons!”
Do you still want to live like this?
At that time, there would probably be no other choice but to leave their homes.
"Really, really a monster? Isn't he the king of many feet?"
Because he was too excited, the village chief pulled off his long beard. He was so frightened that he did not notice the pain of pulling off his beard.
"It's true. I saw it clearly. It's not the Multi-legged King. It's a new monster. It's coming towards the village!”
The villagers who reported the news had a look of despair on their faces. Their family had already used up everything they had to gather the tribute of the Multi-legged King.
This was simply forcing him to a dead end!
"Oh my god, a demon, another demon has entered the village.”
"There's no way to live these days. It's over, it's over, it's all over.”
"With our village's ability, it's impossible for us to offer tributes to the two demons. We're dead, we're dead.”
"Run, run, run as far as you can. Perhaps you can still survive.”
"Ah, what sin has our Lu Family Village committed? Why are there always demons coming?”
Escape…?
What a joke!
