I Don’t Want To Defy The Heavens

“表哥,你实在是太厉害了,竟然都将”虎煞刀法”修炼到这等地步,怎么不早说出来.”

“Cousin, you are simply too amazing! You actually cultivated the Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique to such a level! Why didn’t you tell us?”

“要是早点说出来,姨夫也不会这么生气.”

“If you did, Uncle wouldn’t get so angry.”

周忠茂佩服的五体投地.

Zhou Zhongmao was so impressed.

表哥就是厉害.

His cousin was just too amazing!

林凡无力的躺在椅子上,随手将刀甩到一旁,看都不看一眼,”狗子,赶紧弄点水果来,大热天的运动太受罪.”

Lin Fan laid on his chair and tossed the blade to the side. He didn’t even take a look and said, “Gou’zi, get me some fruit. Exercising during such a hot day is just stupid.”

随后看向周忠茂.

He looked towards Zhou Zhongmao.

“表弟,什么早说不早说,累的很,没意思.”林凡没什么力气,手臂酸痛的厉害.

“Cousin, what about telling you all early? I am so tired and it is pointless.” Lin Fan didn’t have any strength and his arms were sore.

打的的确是有点爽.

It did feel good.

但身为富家公子,就是讲究人,打打杀杀不是很好.

However, as the Young Master of a rich family, he was a cultured person and it wasn’t good to kill and fight.

周忠茂抓着脑袋,”表哥,怎么会没意思呢,修炼可是最有意思的事情了.”

Zhou Zhongmao scratched his head, “Cousin, how would it be pointless? Cultivation is the most interesting thing.”

林凡算是看出来了,表弟就是修炼狂魔,这一身肉,真的唬人.

Lin Fan could see that his cousin was a cultivation maniac. His body was also terrifying.

“表弟,你告诉我,我爹实力怎么样?到底什么修为?”林凡问道.

“Cousin, tell me, how strong is Father? What is his cultivation?” Lin Fan asked.

周忠茂想了会,”不太清楚,姨夫也没说过自己有多少强,但据我所知很强.”

Zhou Zhongmao thought about it for a moment, “I am not sure. Uncle didn’t say how strong he was, but based on what I know he is really strong.”

“表哥虽然也厉害,但姨夫真要是动手,一根手指头都完事了.”

“Although Cousin is strong, if he really went all out, he would beat you with one finger.”

他曾经也问过姨夫武道十二重达到第几重.

He had once asked Uncle what grade of the twelve grades he was at.

不过姨夫没说什么.

However, Uncle didn’t reply.

就伸出一根手指,压在他的肩膀上,让他挣扎.

He just stretched out a finger and pressed it on his shoulder for him to struggle.

他使出所有力气,都无法挣扎开.

He used all of his strength but was unable to struggle free.

而姨夫还很轻松.

Moreover, Uncle found it super easy.

最后只说,路还很长,慢慢来,不用急.

In the end, he just said that the road forwards was really long. He just had to take it slow and not be anxious.

“这么厉害.”林凡惊讶道.

“So skilled?” Lin Fan was shocked.

莫非刚刚那就是传说中的放水?

Was his father giving him chance just now?

“是啊,很厉害的.”周忠茂点着头,对姨夫那强大的实力,表现的很崇拜,眼里都有光在闪烁着.

“That’s right, he is really skilled.” Zhou Zhongmao nodded his head. He really worshipped Uncle’s strength and his eyes shone brightly.

就想哪天也能变的跟姨夫一样厉害.

He was thinking about the day when he could be as strong as him.

当听完表弟这番话后.

When he heard Cousin say those words.

原本心里还有点压力,到现在却是毫无压力.

He felt a little pressure, but now that pressure was all gone.

豪门世家,眼红的人肯定不少,被人惦记着那更是不少,要是哪天被人杀上门.

抢夺财富.

一脚从富家公子的位置上踹下去.

那时哭爹喊娘都没用.

An aristocratic family had many people who envied them. If one day people attacked them to try to steal their fortune, and he was kicked off the spot of the Young Master position, he would cry until all his tears were used up.

可现在好了.

The current situation was good.

表弟都说便宜老爹实力强横,那还能说什么?

Since Cousin said that his cheap father was strong, then what else could he say?

如果都不好好享受人生,过上那令人憎恶的贵公子生活,都对不起老爹这强横的实力.

If he didn’t enjoy life and spent his days like a hated rich young master, then he really let down the strong strength of his father.

很快.

狗子端着冰镇水果回来了.

Very quickly, Gou’zi returned with some iced fruits.

这只有富家公子才能享用的起.

Only this rich family young master could enjoy such things.

果盘里,放着冰块,水果很是讲究,葡萄剥了皮,类似苹果的水果,在表面雕刻着大富大贵的’富’字.

There was ice in the fruit tray. The fruits were prepared really fancily, the grapes had no skin, apples were all carved into the “Fu” word which represented riches, etc.

从里到外,无不彰显着富贵.

From inside to the outside, it appeared really rich.

“给公子松松骨,尤其是这腿,到现在都还在打颤.”林凡说道.

“Help massage me, especially my legs, it is still shaking.” Lin Fan said.

“好咧,公子.”狗子蹲在一旁,双手捏着,有点技术,有点手法.

“Okay, Young Master.” Gou’zi knelt at the side and pressed with both hands. It was skilled and trained.

浑身舒坦.

His whole body felt comfortable.

周忠茂心情波动着,还没从刚刚的情景里恢复过来.

Zhou Zhongmao’s emotions fluctuated and he still hadn’t recovered from the scenes just now.

“表哥,等会咱们一起对练吧.”

“Cousin, let’s spar.”

林凡瞧了一眼,摆手道:”没兴趣,自己耍去.”

Lin Fan looked over and waved his hand, “I am not interested, go play on your own.”

大热天的.

The weather was so hot.

还对练?

Spar?

出了一身汗,都臭的要命.

To sweat so much, would make them really smelly.

除非脑子有病.

Unless one’s brains had problems to not notice.

“狗子,咱们林家良田有空的吗?”林凡随意问道.

“Gou’zi, do we have any empty farmland?” Lin Fan replied with interest.

今天这灾算是躲过去了.

He had survived the calamity today.

但还没结束.

However, it wasn’t over.

老爹是怒气提供者的长久投资人,不能就这么放了.

Father was a long term supplier of rage points, and he couldn’t let him go.

他想到一件事情.

He thought about something.

在地球上,很多人到了老年,都会有种自己无用的心里,认为帮不了子女,还自认为是累赘.

On Earth, there were many young people who felt that they were useless and burdens unable to help their parents.

听闻心痛.

It sounded sad to hear about it.

所以,他绝对不会让这种事情发生,必须让老爹知道,你有用,一辈子都有用.

Which was why he couldn’t let such a thing happen to him, and he had to let his father know that he was useful and would be for the rest of his life.

“有啊,很多.”狗子说道.

“Yes, a lot.” Gou’zi said.

林府良田很多,不过都没有分出去,主要是那些流民不配拥有良田.

Lin Manor had much fertile soil, but they aren’t given out. That was because these refugees don’t deserve good farmland.

“暴殄天物,不种的良田,那还能是良田吗?这段时间我得来安排一下.”

“Wasting treasures, farmland that isn’t used for farming, is it still good farmland?” He had to make some arrangements.

琢磨着.

He thought about it.

这事就这么干.

He would just do it that way.

谁也拦不住.

No one could stop him.

狗子有点不妙,慌神道:”公子,不能再来了,老爷刚消气,要是又让老爷生气,这后果…”

Gou’zi felt like something was wrong and panicked, “Young Master, you can’t cause problems again. Old Master just got appeased and if you make him angry again, the consequences…”

他心想.

He thought to himself.

公子到底对老爷有什么不满意的,怎么做的事情都好像是跟老爷对着干呢.

Young Master seemed to be really unhappy with Old Master and was going against him for everything.

林凡不以为然,道:”什么生气不生气,就算生气那也是帮忙疏通筋骨,身体健康,万事如意,先不说,继续按,公子得休息会.”

Lin Fan didn’t bother and said, “What angry or not? Even if he is angry it would help to loosen his bones and make him healthy. Continue to massage me, I need to rest for a while.”

刚刚是真的累.

It was really too tiring just now.

经过此次战斗.

他发现武道并不适合他,还是老老实实的享受人生比较好.

After that battle, he noticed that martial cultivation wasn’t suitable for him, it was best if he just enjoyed life.

加点就不错.

Increasing stats was fun.

比如体魄.

For example, Physique.

将体魄提升到二十四后,精气神很足,有种容光焕发的感觉.

After he increased it to 24 points, he felt brimming with energy, like he was giving off light.

幽城外.

Outside of You City.

王家村.

Wang Family Village.

就是专门给林家种地的村庄,原以为今年税收交不了,会遭受惨烈的对待.

It was a village that farmed for the Lin Family. They thought that they would be badly treated for not being able to pay the taxes this year.

可没想到,林家公子心肠很好,不仅降税,还给他们免了今年的税.

Who knew that the Lin Family Young Master was so nice, not only reducing it but also not collecting it this year.

虽然全村上下还吃不饱,但今年没有了压力,脸上浮现的笑容,还是那么的真诚.

Although the entire village was still hungry, they had no pressure this year. They had sincere smiles on their faces.

村长坐在村子门口,吸着旱烟,皱眉舒展开.

The village chief sat at the entrance and smoked, his brows were relaxed.

看着远方那一片天地.

He looked at the land afar.

天公不作美.

The Heavens were really not nice to them.

无能为力.

There was nothing they could do.

但只要将今年熬过去,明年一定会好.

However, as long as they passed this year, the next would be better.

答应林家公子的事情,必须办到,就算明年还是干旱,砸锅卖铁,也要将税交上去.

They had to do what they promised the Lin Family Young Master. Even if it was dry next year, they had to hand over the taxes.

“王老三.”

“Old Wang.”

远方,一名老者带着一名汉子走来.

In the distance, an old man brought a man over.

虽然还没到.

但那愁容烙印在脸上,挥之不去.

Although he hadn’t arrived, the frown was imprinted on his face and couldn’t be removed.

王老三望去,开口道:”你们怎么来了?”

Old Wang looked out and said, “Why are you here?”

这是隔壁村的人.

They were people from the surrounding village.

其中那老者就是隔壁村的村长,那汉子就是老者的儿子.

The old man was the village chief, the male was his son.

“王老三,你说今年的税怎么办,哎,这鬼天气都不知道什么时候是个头.”老者叹气,愁容满面,都不知道该如何是好.

“Old Wang what should we do about the taxes? Ha, when will this weather even change.” The old man sighed, worry covered his face and he didn’t know what to do.

随后问道.

After which he asked.

“你们收成够交税吗?”

“Do you all have enough to hand over for the taxes?”

老者来这里的目的,就是寻求一点帮助.

The old man came here to ask for help.

看看王家村有么有多余的口粮,帮帮忙,如果不将田税交给梁府,后果不堪设想.

The Wang Family Village had so much excess and they wanted them to help. If they couldn’t hand it over to the Liang Manor, the outcome was catastrophic.

“税?”王老三摇头笑道:”今年,我们不交税.”

“Tax?” Old Wang shook his head and smiled, “We don’t have to pay this year.”

老者大惊,”你疯了,林家能饶过你们王家村?”

The old man was shocked, “You are crazy, how could the Lin Family let you all off?”

在他看来,王老三这就是疯了.

To him, Old Wang was just mad.

不交税的后果不堪设想.

It was catastrophic if one didn’t pay taxes.

就算今年气候不好,也不能不交啊.

Even if the weather wasn’t good, one had to pay.

“王叔,林家心狠手辣,可不能给自己麻烦啊.”汉子说道.

“Uncle Wang, the Lin Family is really vicious, you can’t seek trouble for yourself.” The male said.

王老三抬手道:”不是那样的,今早林家陈管事来了,就是来收税的,但林家公子也来了,看到我们这里的情况,感觉我们可怜,心有怜悯,就让我们今年不交税,而且还降低了税,以后不管收成多少,都只收一成税.”

Old Wang raised his hand and said, “That is not the case. The Lin Family Manager Chen came to collect taxes, but their young master came too. He looked at our situation and found us pitiful. He told us there was no need to pay this year and he also lowered the taxes. No matter how much we collected, he would only collect ten percent.”

老者跟汉子没听清楚,本想劝王老三不要跟豪门世家作对.

The old man and the male wanted to persuade Old Wang to not go against the aristocratic families.

可突然.

他们两人愣住了.

However, they were both stunned.

不敢置信的看着王老三,仿佛听错似的.

They looked towards Old Wang in disbelief like they had heard him incorrectly.

今年不收税?

No taxes this year?

以后都收一成税?

They will only collect ten percent in the future?

骗人的吧?

Was it a lie?

还是说今年收成不好,失心疯了.

He also said that the yield this year was not good, what a joke!
