The rules of the archery competition were very simple. Everyone in the competition stood 100 meters away with bows and arrows in their hands, while the other side released three birds. Each person could only shoot one arrow at a time, one arrow for one minute, two birds for two arrows, and so on.

Lin Tian pulled the bow. This bow was made from bamboo. He tested the strength of this bow so that he wouldn't break it later.

The first time was when the pigeons were free, they flapped their wings vigorously and flew off into the distance.

"Whoosh!" Swoosh! "Swish!"

But how could a pigeon fly as fast as a bow? More than half of the pigeons had been shot down. Lin Tian Yi slowly waited until everyone else had finished firing before he pulled back the bowstring.

"Swoosh!" One arrow in two, four pigeons in a string.

A thunderous applause rang out from the water stronghold. This was an archery skill that they rarely saw. The people in the water stronghold began to pay attention to this young stranger.

When Lin Tian noticed that the Great Master and Second Master were also looking at him, he thought to himself, "In the future, we have to keep a low profile."

The second one to fly was the swallow. The swallow was dressed in black, and its speed was much faster than the pigeon.

"Whoosh!" Swoosh! "Swish!"

This time half of the people didn't hit. Lin Tian shot two condors and got another two points.

The audience once again erupted into thunderous applause. This was because Lin Tian Yi was already two points ahead of the second place.

"Who is this person?" Why haven't I seen it before? " The Great Master, Green Wolf, asked the others in a low voice.

Green Wolf was born into a hunter family, he saw through the trick. These two arrows were not simple, they had hit the birds' bodies, if treated in time, these birds could still live on, if not coincidentally, this person should be a godly archer.

The third time was when a sparrow, about the size of three fingers, flew high and fast.

"Whoosh!" Swoosh! "Swish!"

Only Lin Tian Yi and the person in second place had each shot one. In the end, Lin Tian Yi had taken first place as a matter of course.

"What's your name? I heard you just entered the mountain? " The Great Master, Green Wolf, asked condescendingly.

"My name is Xiong Da, I just joined the Wild Wolf Mountain yesterday, please take care of me, boss!" Lin Tian replied.

"Very good, your archery skills are quite good!" Green Wolf only praised him.

"Thank you for your praise, Boss!" "I was a hunter in the past, but I've been hunting since I was young. I was just lucky just now."

"Hm!" The competition will continue. "

The Nine Mountains Small Competition was very focused on efficiency. As soon as the archery competition ended, the arena battle started again.

Li Hu, who was watching below, felt his hands itch. Just as Lin Tian wanted to remind him to be more low-key, he was the first one to rush up, not even stopping him.

In the end, without any suspense, Li Hu was able to defeat everyone with his bare hands, and only two of them were able to take more than a dozen blows from Li Hu.

"I announce that this month's top three will be as follows: Little Salted Fish, Big Bear and Second Bear. At the same time, the three of them will represent our Wild Wolf Mountain in the Nine Mountain Large Competition. " The Great Master, Green Wolf, shouted.

"Wild Wolf Mountain! Wild Wolf Mountain! Wild Wolf Mountain! "

"The three of you, get ready. Three days later, I will bring you all to the Nine Xuan Lake to participate in the Nine Mountains Large Competition." The Great Master said to Lin Tian Yi and the others.

"Thank you, Boss!"

After becoming the top three in the Small Competition, their treatment would be different.

Lin Tian Yi and the others were moved to a spacious house. Because they were brothers, they lived together.

Next door was a family of fishermen who took care of the three meals of Lin Tian and his sister for free. Moreover, they also had the privilege that the top three did not have to work, nor did they have to patrol and become bandits.

The skinny man had also come to fawn on them and forcefully returned the pieces of silver from yesterday, telling Lin Tian Yi and the others to take care of him in the future. Before leaving, he had even said that the Great Master had already noticed them and wanted to see the two brothers tomorrow.

"Little brothers, it's time for dinner!" The aunt next door brought the food.

"Thank you, Auntie!" We've troubled you. " Lin Tian Yi and Li Hu hurriedly came forward and said.

"It's no trouble at all. If you guys eat here, the village will give me more fish. So you don't need to be polite and just don't dislike the aunt's plain food." The aunt said.

"You two brothers are really heroes out of youth, how can you train yourselves to such a level!"

"Aunt, you're too kind!" We two brothers don't have much ability, we were just lucky.

Aunt, why do I realize that Wild Wolf Mountain is a place where there are many males and females, don't you think some males haven't come back yet? " Lin Tian asked.

"You're from outside the city, so you don't know. As you eat, the aunt will chat with you."

"Our Wild Wolf Mountain has the least amount of people in the Nine Mountains, but it still has close to a thousand people.

Three months ago, the government sent troops to encircle us, and these men from the Nine Mountains all have to go to fend off the soldiers.

Our Wild Wolf Mountain had a total of more than four hundred people, and in the end, only a hundred came back. My family no longer had any people, and I heard that they were already dead, and not even their corpses could be found.

"Sorry, auntie, you spoke about your sorrows." Lin Tianyi consoled.

"It's okay, aunty has already let it go. Besides, I'm not the only one in this Wild Wolf Mountain." The aunt's personality was carefree and her expression was normal without much sadness.

"Aunt, we didn't understand it when we first arrived. But what I saw was that most of the people in Wild Wolf Mountain were fishermen, and they didn't do anything about the robbers. Why are they still being bandits? What were they aiming for?" Lin Tian asked.

"That's a long story, it's actually the government that forced us to become bandits."

"Aunty, if you want to become bandits yourselves, blame the government. That's not good." Li Hu interrupted.

"Don't interrupt! Listen to what auntie has to say. "

"Little brother, think about it, how could we common commoners be willing to become bandits? It's all because of the heavy taxes and authority provided by the government, forcing us to become bandits.

Our real purpose is to avoid the taxes and the corvée. " the aunt said.

No wonder he felt that the people of Wild Wolf Mountain did not have any official business and did not seem like bandits at all. Lin Tian asked, "Aunt, this imperial court pays a tax of 30 RMB for one, in addition to some extra income in other places. Although it is not a small amount, but you guys should be able to afford it, right?"

"Sigh!" Every time a government official came, they would add up all kinds of taxes. The total amount would be one out of five taxes, we have to collect taxes for fishing, and we also have to collect taxes for selling fish. How are we supposed to live? " the aunt complained.

"Five tax one!"

Lin Tian Yi was also given a fright. He had been in the Eternal Music Mansion for more than a year and knew that the taxes there were about 20 tax ones. If what his aunt said was true, then there would be a huge problem with the government.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" These prefectures are too shameful! " Li Hu said angrily. Only after he finished speaking did he recall that his big brother was now a Prefect of the Qing Le Prefecture. He hurriedly added, "Before, I scolded those Prefect from before, hehe …"

The aunt continued, "Even more impressive is the corvée. The government has ordered that from fifteen to fifty commoners, men and women alike, must participate in the corvée for three months a year.

How were the commoners supposed to live?

Therefore, the commoners of the Nine Mountains led the rebellion against the government because they could not stand these harsh taxes.

Later on, the suffering citizens of other places in the Mansion also gradually joined in and became the current bandits of Nine Mountains.

The aunt told you in secret that if you have any other good places to go, then don't stay here and be bandits. You're still young, don't ruin your own future.

Don't say those words out loud. " Perhaps the aunt felt that she had talked too much, so she got up and thought about leaving.

"Thank you for your good will, Auntie!" Rest assured, we will not speak carelessly. " Lin Tian sent his aunt out of the room.

"Big brother, this bandit thinks differently from us!" Li Hu said.

"That's right!" "That's why we didn't come here for nothing. This bandit might have something else to hide."
