Chapter 238 The Burned Grain Cart
Felisa didn't approach, but just stood in a position where she could hear the group of people talking, and listened quietly without making a conversation.

Soon she knew what was wrong.

The grain truck that left them yesterday morning was set on fire by someone who rushed out suddenly. Now the acting city lord is leading people to investigate this matter, but it looks like a well-known local gangster.

It was Azalez. After hearing that it was a gangster, Felisa was very sure of this. After hearing that the acting city lord Vincent was now investigating this matter, she understood even more that there was no follow-up to this matter.

The two of them didn't know what plans they had, but they did such a vile thing as burning food. Felisa frowned, but she didn't think too much about it. Since they jointly took action, it must be necessary for them to do so.

Then she heard someone say in astonishment: "I still want to collect food? Isn't it enough for us to pay this year's food again?"

Felisa knows about paying grain. Common people can choose to pay taxes with money or the specified money equivalents. Among them, grain is one of the money equivalents, and farmers will choose to pay taxes with grain. After all, the step of exchanging grain for money can be avoided. .

The village's tax this year has been paid almost in full. It stands to reason that the remaining food is reserved for the village's own use, but now it is said that it needs to collect food again...

"Is there any way, they are fighting with the Royal Army, they only care about food and don't care about our life or death."

"But we can't pay the food. What will we eat this winter?"

"If we don't pay, we won't survive this winter at all!"

Just as they were arguing endlessly, the old voice of the village chief rang out, carrying an invisible majesty: "Enough, stop arguing, how much food is left in the village?"

"Not much. After deducting what will be used for planting next year, it is barely enough to survive this winter, and there will be more this year..."

The sound behind was vague and didn't explain clearly, but Felisa knew that it was saying that there were dozens of more mouths to eat this year, and it was those maids.

The village chief pondered for a while: "Hand over all the remaining food."

Everyone else was anxious: "Village chief!"

"Listen to me!" The village chief's voice suddenly increased, "Even if we don't pay this time, what about next time? No matter whether there is any accident with the batch of food we sent out yesterday, they plan to ask us to hand over all the food to supply the front line , so instead of struggling, it's better to be neat and straightforward, and save some suffering."

Everyone knew that what the village chief said was right, so after a while of discussion, they had no other choice but to agree.

So today's dinner was very sumptuous. Originally, they were unwilling to give the maids an extra grain of rice, but today they generously gave them a lot, and even gave them meat.

Anyway, they are all going to be sent out, so it is better to eat more.

The maids didn't know what happened, and they were cooking happily. Since they came to work here, their food intake has been increasing day by day. On the first day, they can still say that they are full, but on the second day, they only eat seven meals a day. full.

Karona was also very happy, but she felt something was wrong when she was happy. If something goes wrong, she must be a monster. After so many rounds of lessons, she has become somewhat sensitive. Seeing so much food, Karona always feels that it is not good omen.

She looked at Felisa, who seemed particularly taciturn today: "Do you know anything?"

Felisa nodded silently: "I know, but it's better not to let me tell you."

After all, she only listened to it once, and she is not clear about the follow-up matters. It is better to let the insider announce the news to them.

"I see," Karona didn't respond much, she smiled, "Sure enough, I knew that we wouldn't get peace so easily."

Although her tone was flat, there was an inexplicable sadness. Maybe it was because of the bad fate these days that made her tired and powerless, and she even felt somewhat resigned to her upcoming fate.

Felisa raised her eyes and looked at her quietly, trying to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just turned her eyes to the night when the curtain fell, and she could see that the fireworks in all the houses were extraordinarily bright today, and they were extraordinarily bright Long.

In the village, not only the food is expensive, but also the firewood has to be saved. Except for Chinese New Year, no one cooks so many dishes.

It's all about the Last Supper.

Even Felisa couldn't help but feel a sense of dread at this moment. Fortunately... fortunately...she was born as a nobleman. Even if she is not very expensive, at least she has no worries about food and clothing, and can even learn magic.

It's also fortunate...she has Asalez, and Asalez won't let her fall into this embarrassing situation, he will definitely protect her tightly.

"Maybe," Karona walked to her side, staring at the chimney smoke together with her, "it's the retribution for our first half of life."

This sentence... Felisa looked at Karona: "Do you understand?"

This was also her original intention. She hoped that these noble ladies would know what they had done back then, how much harm they had caused to the common people, and most importantly, let them learn how to survive like a commoner.

"Who doesn't understand, it's just that they refuse to recognize the truth," Karona sneered, with sarcasm and mockery, "Who wants to admit mistakes."

Who is willing to admit that he made a huge mistake in the past ten years, not to mention that everyone will have such thoughts-why him?It is clear that the previous generations lived in peace until death, why are they the only ones?

All in all, no matter how much I say, I just want to say one thing: I am not wrong.

But are they really right?It's just that you don't want to face it.

"Tell them, don't continue to put on airs like a young lady. Magic is not omnipotent. What's more, your magic is neither proficient nor lethal. Using magic is useless except to put yourself in a disadvantageous position. "

It is rare for Felisa to give such practical advice, or a warning. She has always only asked these maids about their psychological problems and soothed their emotions. I basically didn't say anything, let alone tell them the truth of life.

Because they won't listen to what they say, the arrogance of the nobles, or the arrogance in their bones, will make it impossible for them to bow their heads. If they are asked to admit their mistakes or live like ordinary people, they will have to jump around for a while.

But now that they have come into contact with some civilian life, it's time to tell them these truths, at least don't hold on to the stupid idea of ​​superiority, except to harm others is to harm oneself.

For example, the two lying on the bed now are examples.
