Chapter 1473 Escape to the Five Color Forest
Aqiu stood there silently, beads of sweat streaming down his forehead. He knew that his elder brother Achun was not exaggerating.
Now, if the little baby girl is left in the tribe, it will become an outlet for the anger of everyone in the entire tribe who are in despair and collapse.
"Brother, please stop talking. I won't let my father down!"
After Qiu finished speaking, a look of determination flashed across his face, as if he had already made up his mind, and he walked over and carried the beehive.
Without hesitation, he walked out of the kitchen.
Old A Ye also heard the conversation between the two brothers.
“Aqiu…!”
Old A Ye stood in the yard, hunched over, as if he wanted to say something. Finally, after meeting his youngest son's eyes, he sighed.
"Dad!"
A-Qiu's eyes were filled with tears: "No one in the tribe will take care of her. Since I brought her back, I can't let her die."
"Dad understands everything!" said Old A Ye.
As a father, he understands his youngest son, who has been different from others since childhood, better than anyone else.
When Qiu was a child, he had many strange ideas, and everyone thought they were crazy... But in the end, Qiu was always right.
At this time, Old A Ye only hoped that A Qiu was right this time.
"Where are you taking her? Will you come back in the future?" asked Old A Ye in a trembling voice.
"Colorful Forest!"
A Qiu said: "After the tax is collected, if I am still alive, I will definitely bring her home."
"it is good!"
Old Aye nodded: "Ah Chun, go with your little brother!"
"Dad, are you asking me to evade taxes?" Ah Chun was stunned.
There have been people who evaded taxes since ancient times.
In a year with a poor harvest, who would be willing to become food for the corpse demons?
But once someone evades taxes, the entire tribe will be implicated and will have to pay additional taxes at ten times the population.
The families of those who escaped...whether young or old, male or female, must pay with their lives.
This is also the reason why the corpse demon clan can nail the human race to death with heavy taxes.
Three years ago, Old Aye had already given birth to a son for the tribe.
He was the chief of the tribe and had the power to keep the remaining two sons.
In Achun's opinion, although this taxation is dangerous, it does not mean death!
"It's different!"
Old Aye frowned and said, "This time the animals died out. At least three hundred lives will be needed to make up for the loss!"
"There are 600 people in the tribe, and there are more than 300 young and strong people and children who meet the taxation conditions. This is enough to pay the taxes. Dad, you are the leader of the tribe and have the right to protect me and Aqiu!" Achun said.
“It’s different now!”
Old A Ye sighed and said.
"With all the livestock gone, the people in the tribe have lost their morale. Fifty lives is the heaviest tax the Yellowstone tribe has ever paid in a hundred years!"
Old Aye continued, "There are no livestock in the tribe, and the old and young who are left have no way to survive... Who is willing to let their family die for a tribe without livestock?"
Old Aye sighed: "Even if you don't run away, someone else will run away, with their families...!"
Old Aye paused.
Achun and Aqiu were both stunned.
If one person escapes, ten lives will be needed to fill the gap... Even if one family in the tribe escapes, it will be a huge disaster.
Now people's hearts are not there... If someone escapes, it will definitely not be just one family...
If we provoke the enslavement of the Corpse Demon Clan, the entire tribe will be wiped out!
Both brothers broke out in cold sweats.
"Dad, come with us!" Qiu looked at his father with a serious expression.
"Together?"
Old Aye smiled and shook his head: "I have to go find some garlic mushrooms. They've been deflated for so long and I still haven't pooped!"
If one can survive by escaping, how will the Corpse Demon Clan collect taxes?
If only one or two people escape, the corpse demon clan will punish them severely. If a large group of humans escape, it will be considered treason...
Once Lord Corpse Demon gets serious...
In Old Aye's opinion, there is only a glimmer of hope for his two sons to escape...
No one can survive with this old body of mine.
Old A Ye turned around and walked into the house.
The two brothers Aqiu and Achun looked at each other.
"Dad!" Qiu suddenly spoke.
“Aqiu…!”
As Old A'ye turned around, A'chun, who was standing beside him, took advantage of his father's inattention and carried his father's skinny body on his shoulders.
"You little bastards, what are you going to do?" Old A Ye was shocked and angry.
"Dad, if we attract others, we won't be able to leave." Achun reminded.
Old A Ye stopped talking and struggling, and could only sigh.
As soon as the father and his two sons left, a group of people rushed into the courtyard.
"Where's Qiu? Where did the disaster go?"
"Aqiu, get out here! I want to burn that disaster to death!"
"Yes, burn her to death. She is the one who brought all the bad luck to us!"
After searching all the houses, no one could find Aqiu and the other two.
Everyone understood something.
"The leader's family ran away?"
This group of people were the young and strong men from the tribe who had just returned from the abyss.
They finally woke up from the anger of chasing the disaster, remembered the death of livestock, and soon understood what was going on.
Everyone dispersed and rushed towards their own homes.
Soon, they discovered that there was no one left in many houses.
There are other people who have the same idea as Lao Aye.
When disaster strikes, everyone flees. This happens sometimes even to loving couples, let alone just tribal members.
……
Zhao Yin took a step forward and caught up with Aqiu and his family of three.
He was well aware of everything that happened in the tribe, but in Zhao Yin's opinion, the way things had developed seemed to be more in line with his wishes.
He also didn't want Tang Tang to grow up under the oppression of the corpse demon clan.
Aqiu carried the beehive and held the baby girl in one hand, while Achun carried his father. The two brothers chose a remote path and headed eastward to the colorful forest.
It was a forbidden area for the tribe. From time to time, there were terrible colorful bees that would fly to the edge of the woods. Anyone who encountered them would die.
Ten years ago, a leader of the Corpse Demon Clan came to collect taxes. He coveted the honey of the Demon Bee Queen and was eventually chased out of the Colorful Forest wailing.
From then on, the leaders of the Corpse Demon Clan never approached the Five-Colored Forest again.
"Aqiu, can we really survive if we go to the Five-Colored Forest?" Achun asked.
A Qiu shook his head: "I don't know."
Ten years ago, the leader of the Corpse Demon Clan who was driven out of the Five-Colored Forest by the Demon Bee Queen was just a small soldier who collected taxes among the Corpse Demon Clan.
Given the terrifying power of the Corpse Demon Clan, if they really attack, I'm afraid the Demon Bee Queen won't be able to be intimidated at all.
Now, there is no choice.
For the father and his two sons, this is the safest place.
At some point, the little baby girl suddenly opened her eyes.
"you're awake?"
Aqiu's expression immediately turned into loving. He wanted to reach out and tease the little guy in his arms, but found that he didn't have his hands free.
"What a cute little girl, she doesn't cry or make a fuss, is she really transformed by a disaster?"
"Dad, she is not a disaster, but our luck." Qiu emphasized immediately.
Old Aye, who was lying on his eldest son's shoulder, was stunned and laughed: "Yes, it's our luck!"
Ah Chun also laughed.
At this time, the father and his two sons discovered that the little girl's dark pupils were looking in a certain direction without any emotion... as if she didn't take A Qiu, her savior, seriously at all.
A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth...
The father and his two sons couldn't help but look back...
