Chapter 22 Roadside Surprise
Linbian Village is particularly quiet under the night sky, with little sound of chickens and dogs barking. The gauze-like moonlight covers the village, and the sounds of crying like no one echoing at night. Not only does it make people feel the beauty of the quiet village, but it also makes people feel a little bit of pain in their hearts.
The twenty or so people who followed Luosang to the forest and never came back, although there were no bodies, there were no shortages of funerals.
In the small courtyard of the Luosang family, on the bed that originally belonged to Luosang's sister Luo Xi, Liu Xiu was not sleepy when he lay above him.
The Lausanne family was not at home. After all, there were so many people dead in the village, so they went to each family to help.
This is the case in the countryside, and each family has something to do to help.
This room originally belonged to the little girl Luo Xi, who was specially tidied up to give Liu Xiu a rest. Liu Xiu could not refuse the kindness of the Luosang family. If he refused, his family might kneel down and beg.
Although the room was dilapidated, it was clean and there were some gadgets from my little daughter's house in the corner.
Recalling the previous conversation with the old village chief, a smile flashed across Liu Xiu's face.
It is impossible to stay in the village. Liu Xiu expressed this tactfully. Although the old village chief was disappointed, he had no choice. There was nothing in the village that could impress Liu Xiu's stay.
When Lausanne took out the green grass with a silver texture and said that the village did not have to worry about taxes, the old village chief was so excited that he burst into tears.
At the same time, Liu Xiu also knew the name of the grass, Silver Wire Grass.
The old village chief was "very knowledgeable" and only knew the name and preciousness of the grass. He didn't know what it was for the specific effect.
He did not put the grass away as soon as possible, but solemnly placed it in Liu Xiu's hands for custody. When he saw the complete ink leopard skin, the old village chief did not think there was anything safer than put it here in Liu Xiu.
I have to say that this old man is so smart and cute that nothing can impress Liu Xiu, he actually used this stupid moral trust to establish a good relationship with Liu Xiu.
That is the hope of the whole village. It is just in Liu Xiu's hands. Most people really don't have that courage.
Although the deadline for tax payment was reached soon, the old man was calm and he was not satisfied until Liu Xiu suggested that he wanted to go to the town tomorrow to take a look and said that he would take the grass to pay the tax.
The old village chief repeatedly stated that paying taxes was just by the way. Liu Xiu said that buying and selling something was the key. He waved his hand and said that he would arrange for villagers to help Liu Xiu get things tomorrow.
It's a terrible thing, do I have so many things to take?
Liu Xiu knew that he wanted the villagers to protect Yinshicao. Liu Xiu was amused and crying with his poor acting skills. Liu Xiu knew that it was not that the other party distrustd him. After all, Yinshicao was related to the fate of more than a thousand people in Linbian Village.
The old village chief has the simplicity of a countryman and the shrewdness of a little learner. Not only can he not feel any disgust when communicating with him, but he will also feel a little admiration in his heart.
Most of the people in Linbian Village were passed down from their ancestors. The old village chief was the village chief and the patriarch. It was really impossible to manage more than a thousand people in a village without any mind. He dared not say that his words and deeds were completely selfish, but more were thinking about the villagers in the entire village.
It's not easy, Liu Xiu already had a certain idea in his mind.
The Luosang family didn't know when they came back. The next day when Liu Xiu got up and practiced health care skills, his family also got up one after another to start a busy day.
Outside the yard of the Luosang family, more than 30 young and strong people had gathered together one after another. They did not speak. Liu Xiu practiced health care and they subconsciously chose to avoid it.
One night, Liu Xiu took Lausanne out of the Cliff of Life and Death, and the incident of killing Mo Bao with one punch had already spread in the village.
He looked not old last year, but people looked at him with awe.
Without bloody doubts, the simplicity of the country people made them choose to believe Liu Xiu. Even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, it would be enough to limit the oral statements of Lausanne.
When Liu Xiu finished washing up, Lausanne's mother had already arranged a table of food, which was still vulgar, but Liu Xiu ate as sweet as yesterday. Many times, the stimulation of her taste buds was really not as good as that sincere dedication.
As soon as the sun rose, Liu Xiu and nearly forty villagers from Linbian Village set off for the town.
The old village chief only said that he would arrange the villagers, but he didn't expect that he would arrange so many...
It will take half a day to get off from here to town. It is very time-consuming. If you delay the town for a long time, you will be in the dark.
Luosang naturally followed, but the team led the old village chief's second son, a middle-aged man in his forties. Perhaps influenced by the old village chief, he was a little smarter than others and didn't talk much, but revealed a meaning: on this day, the villagers mainly served Liu Xiu.
But Liu Xiu could feel that what he wanted to reveal was that he hoped that Liu Xiu would help take care of him when paying taxes.
Silver Wire Grass is related to more than 1,000 villagers in Linbian Village, and is not allowed to be careless in any way.
The sun was gradually rising, and the scorching sun was sunny on his body. None of the dozens of villagers shouted that they were tired.
On the way to the town, Liu Xiu paid attention to both sides of the road. It was obvious that the spring rain mentioned in Lausanne brought a large area of disaster, and there were not many crops growing in the fields.
Occasionally, most of the crops grown are crops that are a bit like soybeans, and they are also the staple food that Liu Xiu ate at Lausanne’s house. However, the particles of this kind of bean are about twice as big as soybeans.
Liu Xiu also occasionally saw a little rice, but he looked like he was dying. From this, Liu Xiu roughly inferred that farmers may not know the "correct" planting method.
After careful observation, Liu Xiu did not express any opinions. When he was about to arrive in the town, Liu Xiu actually had an unexpected surprise on the side of the road.
A pepper grows on the roadside, and most of the fruits are red and ripe.
It’s great, there are peppers, peppers, and salt. The essential seasonings for barbecue are cumin, and even hot pot can be found.
"My benefactor, that thing cannot be touched, it is poisonous!" Seeing Liu Xiu picking peppers, Lausanne immediately spoke up to remind him.
There are not many ripe fruits of this pepper, just dozens. Liu Xiu quickly picked them and packed them in a bamboo tube. Then he asked: "Is it poisonous?"
"Yes, this fruit looks good, but after eating it, it will be poisoned. The body seems to be burned. If you eat too much, you will burn people to death. A few years ago, I saw a person with his own eyes burned a lot of this "fire poison fruit" because he had no food to eat. His whole body became hot and his skin was purple!" Luosang explained with a look of horror.
Can you not be burned to death if you eat chili peppers as rice? Liu Xiu was speechless.
"Don't worry, this thing won't kill me," Liu Xiu said with a smile, thinking that it was probably Devil Pepper who would "poison" himself now.
Qingliu Town, as the name suggests, has many willow trees, houses are arranged in an orderly manner, and tall green willows grow, giving people a cool feeling throughout the town.
Liu Xiu is not sure how big Qingliu Town is. There are people coming and going in the direction they come and go. Judging from the traffic, the town probably has no less than 100,000 people.
There is no city wall in the town, and there is only a tall archway outside the town, with three big characters written on it. Liu Xiu must not recognize the character, but it is definitely the three characters Qingliu Town. After all, this name is not called here.
"What kind of devil font is this?" Liu Xiu stopped under the archway and muttered to himself, thinking that I, a 985 student, was illiterate when I came to this world...
Most of the people entering and leaving the town were dressed in simple clothes, and there were many people with food on their faces. Obviously, life was not very good.
The group of people entered the town without any trouble. They did not exploit the young master who was not singing and sang wildly.
Most of the houses in the town are brick and wood, with the highest one being only four floors. There are many teahouses and shops on both sides of the street, and countless hawkers are selling along the street. There are also those who are juggling and performing arts from time to time to time to applaud people.
After arriving in the town, the villagers seemed very alert and subconsciously kept a vague distance when they greeted people they knew each other.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu was speechless. There was no silver here. Are you afraid that others would not know that you have good things on you?
Lausanne said that there are so-called warriors in this world, which are extremely mysterious and lofty. However, after entering the town, Liu Xiu saw almost the same people as ordinary people like Lausanne and others. Liu Xiu never saw the kind of master who came and went.
There were people patrolling along the street, including groups of 351, 561, wearing uniform black gowns, most of which were holding long swords and rulers.
Liu Xiu observed these people who should be considered law enforcement officers, but found that they were still in the category of normal people.
It’s strange, was the warrior Lausanne mentioned deceived me?
Where is there...
Liu Xiu was still barefoot, with a rabbit skin around his waist. Although he was incompatible with the surrounding environment while walking on the street, he looked calm and did not care about other people's eyes.
Liu Xiu observed carefully and found that as Lausanne said, the currency used by people is a kind of copper coins with patterns and words on it, but Liu Xiu didn't know what those represent.
However, Liu Xiu, who was sharp-eyed, discovered another currency, which was a silver currency, with a ratio of one to one hundred. After walking in the town for more than ten minutes, Liu Xiu had only seen a silver coin transaction once.
Then it is obvious that Lausanne has never seen any currency other than copper coins because it is too poor.
"Similar to the ancient Chinese society in a certain period on Earth, the text is completely unknown, and the currency includes copper coins and silver coins. The mysterious and powerful warriors still need to be verified. The order is good and not as chaotic as imagined..."
After some observation, Liu Xiu summarized it in his heart. His heart was a little nervous because of the so-called warrior. At the same time, more questions that need to be explored arise in his heart.
