Chapter 61: Settling Down

Outside Hangzhou City, by the Qiantang River, Chen Yi came here under the leadership of Wang Jiang.

Unlike later generations, there are no such good protective measures on the Qiantang River today. The river water is surging and rustling across the banks. If you accidentally fall into the river, life and death may be unpredictable.

However, the river water that Chen Yi saw now was clear and not as turbid as it was in later generations.

If you don’t happen to encounter a high tide, you will naturally not be able to see the spectacular scene of the sea and the sky. However, there are many people on both sides of the shore who go out for a walk, some who recite poems and picnics, and some who have picnics on the ground.

No matter what time period, people who don’t have to worry about their livelihood always find ways to find fun.

"There is nothing to see here now. If Brother Chen comes up, you can see the spectacular scene of the rising tide. It will really shock your soul like the sky collapses and the earth breaks." Wang Jiang pointed at the surging river channel.

Smiling, Chen Yi said: "I'm not here to watch the tide."

"What then? Could it be to see the little lady?" Wang Jiang frowned and said. Not far from them, there were several young women on an outing under a willow tree. At first glance, they were from a wealthy family and were guarding their maids.

He looked at Wang Jiang in surprise. Chen Yixin said that at this time, at his age, he could get married? It is normal for women to think of it...

"What's the beauty of a little lady? Come with me?" Shaking her head, Chen Yi rode his horse up the riverside.

Wang Jiang followed and muttered that the little lady was the best to look at the young women. Well, he reluctantly glanced at the young women.

After walking along the river for about two or three kilometers, Chen Yi was still feeling a little nervous. After seeing a stream that was circulating into the river, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed forward.

It was a clear stream, about one or twenty meters wide, with green willows on both sides, and the fish in the water were clearly visible.

Wang Jiang, who followed, saw Chen Yi being inexplicably happy, looked at the stream again, and seemed to understand something, but did not disturb Chen Yi.

"Time is changing, scenery is changing, but the location of this stream has not changed. Although this is not the historical world I am familiar with, it would be better to have this stream here, maybe..."

He was talking to himself, Chen Yi rode a horse upstream along the stream, and his expression on his face was sometimes happy and sometimes low, which was very complicated.

After the two of them walked up the stream for a few kilometers, there was a small mountain village in the distance. There was a vaguely mountain village located in the mountains, with chickens crowing and dogs barking, children hiking, and farmers in the fields ploughing, quiet and peaceful.

Those scenes brought back some memories in Chen Yi's eyes, so that their eyes were a little sad.

"Brother Chen, what's past has passed, don't be too sad," Wang Jiang came up to comfort him.

Chen Yi didn't explain anything, and looked around. When he saw a mountain bag that was one section higher than a stream not far away, his heart beat a little faster and he immediately rushed forward.

The mountain bag is about ten meters high and the bottom diameter is hundreds of meters. It is bare and has no idea, but Chen Yi feels it is extremely friendly.

Because Chen Yi’s former home is ‘just above this mountain bag!’

On that mountain bag, Chen Yi has too many childhood memories. Although the mountain bag in front of him is not the mountain bag in his memory, Chen Yi is extremely grateful to be able to find it.

Originally, when he came to this world, Chen Yi had the idea of ​​coming here to search when he knew he was in the territory of Hangzhou. Because safety first has been delayed until now, he didn't have much hope, but now he really found it. That kind of mood is really unexpressible.

It was difficult to ride a horse on the mountain bag, so Chen Yi simply got off the horse, tied the horse to a tree, and came down to the top of the mountain bag.

Looking around, although the mountain and that river are different from the pictures in my memory, their general position and outline are the same.

After looking around for a moment, Chen Yi turned around and asked Wang Jiang: "Brother Wang, how much does it cost to buy this mountain bag?"

"Ah?" Wang Jiang did not keep up with Chen Yi's pace for a while.

After calming down his mood, Chen Yi said: "I mean, how much does it cost to buy this mountain and build a small courtyard here?"

"I don't know this, but I can go to the village not far away to ask," Wang Jiang scratched his head habitually, and then reacted in surprise and said, "Brother Chen means, do you want to settle down here?"

"Yes, that's what it means," Chen Yi nodded.

This place has a special significance for Chen Yi. It would be fine if he didn't have this place. Now that he has found it, he has to have a status and household registration in this world. Therefore, Chen Yi decided to leave his household registration here and build another yard. He may not live forever, but he is no longer a rootless duckweed, which is also a psychological comfort.

Thinking of Chen Yi saying that his family lived by the Qiantang River, Wang Jiang immediately "understood" because of a mountain torrent.

He nodded and said, "Brother Chen, please wait here for a while. I'll go to the village not far away to ask."

He didn't bother with the question of why Chen Yi didn't go to the original site of his home. After saying that, he got off the mountain and rode his horse and headed towards the village there.

Chen Yi stood on the mountain bag, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was. He even outlined the appearance of the small courtyard to be built in his mind. He made a stone staircase and went straight to the foot of the mountain bag. Bamboo forests were planted on both sides of the stone staircase, there was a well in the yard, and a few fruit trees were planted. Then, the small building had to be two floors so that the craftsmen could build it carefully. By the way, a small pier would be built by the stream under the mountain bag. You could raft and fish when you were fine...

When Chen Yi thought of those scenes, he couldn't wait.

He and he imagined a bright future here. He saw that the place where he tied his horse was under the mountain, a man was looking at his dark horse with his eyes shining.

He was a man over 1.8 meters tall, wearing straw sandals with bare upper body, bronze skin, and extremely solid muscles. He was gnawing a cucumber while spinning around the dark horse.

In case the other party took the horse away, Chen Yi went down the mountain bag.

When the other party heard the movement, he turned to look at Chen Yi and said with some restraint: "Young Master, is yours?"

Chen Yi nodded and didn't say anything. He probably saw that he should be a farmer nearby. He was big and strong. In fact, he was probably less than twenty years old when he looked at his face.

Seeing that Chen Yi didn't speak, the other party scratched his head awkwardly, pointed to the distance and said, "I am a villager over there. I was working in the field. I saw this horse Shenjun, so I came over and saw that I did nothing."

"It's okay, brother, please watch it casually," Chen Yi smiled and said, as long as he didn't have bad intentions, he could say anything.

The other party grinned and looked at the horse again, just like the poor man who looked at a precious sports car hundreds of years later.

When he found that Chen Yizheng looked at him, he hesitated and handed the cucumber in his hand and said, "Is this young master eating melons?"

"I won't eat, thank you," Chen Yi politely rejected this simple farmer man.

The other party nodded and withdrew his hand, thought for a while and asked again: "How much did you buy this horse?"

"Two hundred taels of silver," Chen Yi replied.

The other party suddenly glared, as if he was scared, and took two steps back. After a moment of entanglement, he asked Chen Yi again: "Two hundred taels, where did you get your money?"
