倾诉一番豪言壮志之后，诺文立即將思维转回实际问题上。
大话谁都会说，大事却不是谁都能成。
接下来面对的问题相当棘手：既要阻止收税，又不能引起领主的过度反应。
莱茵虽然允许他们留宿，却依然保持著距离，不愿意將他们捲入这场反抗中。山体是鼠鼠们的最终堡垒，也不允许外人进入。
当然，以诺文和安卡拉的体型，也根本挤不进去。
山中隧道状况不明，诺文也只能去探查地表地形。
这是一个典型的谷地村庄，防御能力近乎为零。半潜式的地穴看似隱蔽稳固，实则脆弱不堪，一旦被堵死或灌入浓烟，后果不堪设想。
而那片丰饶的麦田，又是另一个致命弱点，万一有人成功纵火，整片村庄都会被烧成焦土。
必须拒敌於村外。
直接打，是下下策。先不说能不能贏，税官一死，必然引来领主的注意。
让安卡拉帮忙，只会让事態升级。一个能徒手撕裂巨熊的怪物参与其中，领主派来的恐怕就不是一队士兵，而是军队了。
更別提这世界上还有“魔法”...这玩意才是最大的变量，谁知道领主手下有没有几个超脱常理的法师。
他不了解魔法的本质，也不想用这些善良的生命去赌。
诺文放缓脚步，一阵头疼。
龙娘不知道诺文在想什么，她第一次来到村里，看什么都稀奇，一会儿戳戳土丘上种的蔬菜，一会儿又去推著大石头，尾巴在身后欢快地摇摆，勾著一个篮子。
她钻进田中，挤开一片麦苗，又抓著一只大青蛙跑了出来，眼睛亮晶晶的：
“诺文！蛙蛙！”
诺文回过神来：“放到篮子里吧。记得把盖子盖上。”
“好！”
龙娘攥紧那只可怜的蛙蛙，塞进小篮子里，又摸了摸旁边的麦穗：“诺文，软软草是怎么变成麵包的呀？”
“要把麦粒脱壳，再磨成粉...”
他的话音未落，安卡拉突然偏了偏头，望向不远处的一片麦田。
诺文顺著她的视线看去，只见一个鬼鬼祟祟的小脑袋正藏在麦秆后面，只露出一双圆溜溜的眼睛，紧张地盯著他们。
那是个鼠人男孩，比生姐妹要高一些，披著一套红色方布，努力模仿著人类骑士的样式。
他见自己被发现，非但没跑，反而鼓起勇气，举著一柄小木剑冲了出来。
诺文饶有兴致地仔细端详，反倒看到了一条毛茸茸的大尾巴，像是松鼠。
鼠人居然还有不同的亚种？
“站住！你们这两个...大傢伙！”小骑士努力让鼠人尖尖的声音变得威严，目光却忍不住在安卡拉身上打转，“不许欺负我们村子！”
“村庄的守护骑士！松果！要打倒你们！”
“啊，好厉害的剑技！”诺文配合地向后退去，举起双手，“我被打倒啦！”
安卡拉疑惑地看著他们，也晃了晃尾巴：“被打倒啦！”
见他们这么配合，松果反倒有些不好意思。

“唔，別逗我玩啦。我还不是骑士呢。”
他挥著小木剑，脸上满是憧憬：“大傢伙，你知道骑士是什么样的吗？我想成为能保护弱小的骑士！打跑大坏牙那个叛徒！”
“大坏牙？”
“就是来收税的坏鼠！”松果气鼓鼓地嘟起嘴。“他可坏可坏了，每年都要抢走我们好多吃的！”
“大人们都神神秘秘的，不让我们小孩子掺和。可我都快成年了！我也有力气，也能保护弟弟妹妹！”
诺文听他从大坏牙强抢锅碗瓢盆讲到晚上偷油偷柴，村內所有坏事全都干了个遍，这才理解了来龙去脉。
大坏牙自號军阀，做人乘十，肥膘能压塌车板。號称有壮鼠上百，良田千亩，兵器盔甲无以计数...
简单来说，这就是个鼠奸，负责替人类老爷收鼠鼠们的税。
怪不得莱茵不想让他们掺和进来。
诺文默默將这个情报记在心中，看向那身方布罩袍，笑了笑：“衣服很帅气啊，谁做的？”
“是妈妈！”松果骄傲地挺起胸膛，“妈妈是最厉害的裁缝！”
裁缝...
