Chapter 403: Zhou Dynasty

The woman ran over, ran to the old woman's side, reached out and hugged the old woman, whispered a few words of comfort to the old woman, and then argued with the middle-aged man about something.

It's just obvious that this woman's momentum is not as good as the other party's, and she was suppressed by the other party after just arguing a few words.

Wang Xiaoming can only understand a few words, it seems to be related to money, what is the specific situation, the voice has not been cracked, and there is no way to know the details.

At this time, the light brain prompt has completed the cracking of the voice, and the voice is being entered, and when the input is completed, Wang Xiaoming is equivalent to mastering the other party's voice, can understand the other party's voice, can say the other party's voice, and can communicate.

Soon, Wang Xiaoming understood what the other party was saying.

After listening to it for a while, Wang Xiaoming finally understood.

It turned out that the old woman was the woman's mother, and the middle-aged man was the woman's uncle, that is, the old woman's younger brother.

The reason why he came to recover the silver coins violently is also related to what happened to the old woman's family, it turned out that the old woman's husband and son went to sea to fish, but they encountered a storm and have not come back until now, most likely because of an accident.

The husband and son are the pillars of their family, and as soon as the two go, the family will be finished, and there will definitely be no way to repay the ten silver coins lent, so the middle-aged man hurriedly came over and asked for repayment.

In fact, this is not the first time he has come, he has been here twice before, but there has been no result, this time, he wants to get a result.

To say that the old woman could not pay back the money, because the money had already been used.

The old woman had no cash. But there is real estate, the house and homestead they live in can still be worth a lot of money, the middle-aged man came to force the old woman to sell the house, in fact, he even brought the buyer, on the spot to buy the transaction was completed, the buyer was willing to pay fifteen silver coins, this price is also fair, did not deliberately lower the price.

Fifteen silver coins complete the transaction, ten of which were used to pay off the debt, and five silver coins were left for the old woman to live.

Even how the old woman will live in the future. Middle-aged people have already thought about her clearly.

It is naturally impossible to buy a house and land with five silver coins, but it can be used to live for many years, and the old woman can marry her daughter and live in her son-in-law's house, so that she can have the best of both worlds.

The old woman's face was ugly, and she trembled with anger, but because of the debt, she trembled with anger. But they can't say anything.

Wang Xiaoming thought about it, stepped forward, threw a silver ingot in front of the middle-aged man in fear, and said lightly: "Is this money enough to pay off the debt?"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw the silver ingots on the ground. He nodded again and again and said, "Enough is enough." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly bent down and picked up the silver ingot on the ground, this silver ingot was almost equivalent to twenty silver coins, he made a fortune, where is there any reason to disagree.

"That's enough. Then the matter will be over, and you will not be allowed to trouble them in the future. Wang Xiaoming said again.

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "This is nature, this is nature, speaking of which." We're also a family, and if I hadn't been in dire need of money, I wouldn't have bothered them. ”

"These words, there is no need to say more at this time, take the money and leave quickly, don't come in the future, don't forget to take your people away. Wang Xiaoming said coldly, exuding a cold aura on his body, which made people shudder, and he didn't dare to stay longer at all.

"Yes, yes, we'll leave right away. The middle-aged man was a little frightened and immediately left with his hands.

Buyers who originally wanted to buy a house naturally couldn't stay at this time, and followed without saying a word.

There were no six people left in the courtyard, all of them were the old woman's neighbors, who had come to see the excitement, and had also come to help their family, and when they saw that the matter had been settled, they said a few words of comfort, and then followed.

"Thank you for this gentleman's righteous action, dare to ask who this gentleman is?" the old woman first came over to thank her, and then asked Wang Xiaoming's identity suspiciously.

Wang Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "I am a foreigner passing by, and I am also destined for the sister of the Li family, so I don't have enough to worry about." ”

Wang Xiaoming already knew that the woman's surname was Li, but he didn't know the name, but he heard that the people next to him called her the second sister of the Li family, and Wang Xiaoming also called her the sister of the Li family.

The old woman was stunned for a moment, looked at her daughter beside her, and only then did she realize that there was something strange around her, and her heart suddenly moved, is it for her daughter?

It's just that there is really such a possibility, because her daughter is the leading beauty in the surrounding area, and there are a lot of people who come to the door to talk about matchmaking, if it weren't for the fact that her daughter is still young, it is also to find a good family, otherwise they would have married their daughter a long time ago.

The sister of the Li family whispered to the old woman at this time: "Mom, let's go into the house and say, can't we let the guests stay outside like this?"

"Yes, yes, please come and sit down. The old woman said hurriedly.

When a few people arrived at the house, Wang Xiaoming looked into the room, the room was very ordinary, and there was no decoration, it was an ordinary wooden house, and there was a strong fishy smell in the whole house.

It can be seen from the decoration of the house that the family is very depressed.

Wang Xiaoming turned his head, looked at the Li family's sister, and said with a smile: "I was joking with you before, please don't mind." ”

Wang Xiaoming was referring to the fact that he pretended to be deaf and dumb before.

The girl of the Li family smiled and said, "I still want to thank you, how can I mind." ”

The old woman on the side looked very confused, did her daughter have anything else to do with the other party.

She looked at Wang Xiaoming, her appearance was not bad, white and clean, although the clothes on her body were a little weird, but the fabric and style were not bad, obviously from a rich family.

Born rich and noble, and his appearance is also good, if he is of good character, he is also a good match for his daughter, but he doesn't know the situation in his family.

As a mother, the first thing that comes to mind is that her daughter is married.

The sister of the Li family made an introduction, and Wang Xiaoming only knew. Li Xiang'er, the sister-in-law of the Li family, Li Xiang'er is her big name, and this name was given by her father, hoping that her daughter will be fragrant in the future.

However, in a rural place like theirs, there are very few people who are called big names, and they are all called nicknames, because Li Xianger is the second oldest in the family, and generally everyone calls her the second sister of the Li family.

The old woman is Li Xiang'er's mother, and in fact, the old woman is not very old, only in her forties. It's just that because of the perennial hard work, the wind and the sun, so it looks very old.

Wang Xiaoming also understood what happened, and knew that Li Xianger's father and brother were likely to have an accident at sea, and if they lost their father and brother, the Li family would now lose their pillars.

Without a father and brother, just the two of them, there is no way to live.

It's not just a matter of eating, it's about not having the support of my father and brother. In this kind of rural place, you will be bullied, and any troublesome things will come to your door.

Li Xiang'er went up the mountain to herbal medicine, and it was not a day or two. But why did I meet the bad guys today, it's not because those people knew that something happened to the Li family and that Li Xiang'er's father and brother were gone. Even if she bullied Li Xiang'er, she had no place to reason.

Li Xiang'er also knows the identities of those wicked people. They are all idle lazy people in the same village, they had their father and brother at home before, and the most they could laugh at when they met Li Xiang'er was a few words, and they definitely didn't dare to do anything excessive.

Through Li Xianger's narration, Wang Xiaoming also understood what happened to their family.

Wang Xiaoming thought about it, and made up an identity for himself, saying that he was an overseas Huaguoshan person, this time he was going to sea to do business, but he didn't expect to encounter a storm, the sea ship was silent, and he was the only one who swam to the shore to survive, because he didn't know what place this was, and he didn't know whether it was dangerous or not, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb before, and took the opportunity to find out the news, and hoped that the Li family would not be surprised.

The two Li family hurriedly said, "No blame, no blame. ”

Wang Xiaoming told an interesting story about Huaguo Mountain, and then asked about the situation here.

The eldest lady of the Li family was a little tired, sitting next to her and laughing without saying a word, but Li Xiang'er, the second sister of the Li family, talked about the situation here with great interest.

It turns out that this place is called the Zhou Dynasty, which is also known as the Zhou Dynasty, which is the largest country in the world and has been established for more than 300 years.

There were many other countries around the Zhou Dynasty, but these were all small countries, all of which were vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty.

They belong to Luoyun Village, Qingshan County, Baiwu Prefecture, Nanhai Prefecture, Zhou Dynasty, because it is close to the sea, so Luoyun Village is also a fishing village.

The fishing village is close to the sea, and there are endless fish caught in the sea, and it seems that life is worry-free, but in fact this is not the case.

It's like a farmer farming, and it seems that there is no shortage of food, but what peasant family can eat all-you-can-eat.

That's why it's all because of tax issues.

In a fishing village like theirs, the amount of taxes and fees you have to pay is staggering, and every time you come back from a trip to sea, you have to pay taxes, and the more fish you catch, the more taxes you have to pay.

Although they caught a lot of fish, there were only a few that could fall into their hands.

But fortunately, the officials will always leave them a bite to eat, and they will not starve to death.

Wang Xiaoming asked some local customs again, and finally had some understanding of the local situation.

The current situation of the Zhou Dynasty is actually somewhat similar to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty, which has been established for three hundred years, can decline, and the surrounding countries are constantly rising, especially the more distant overseas countries, have begun to send warships to contact the Zhou Dynasty, ten years ago, the navy of the Zhou Dynasty also fought a war with a foreign navy, but the result was a great defeat of the Zhou Dynasty, if it were not for the vast territory of the Zhou Dynasty and the large number of soldiers, it may have been destroyed long ago.

Although no one else destroyed the country, the weakness of the Zhou Dynasty was also known by many countries, and even the people with the Zhou Dynasty were not favored and looked down upon.

Wang Xiaoming hurriedly asked about the current state of science and technology, mainly asking whether there was electricity and gunpowder.

Gunpowder Li Xianger knows, they have to set off firecrackers during the New Year's holidays, but what electricity is, Li Xianger really doesn't know.

Wang Xiaoming asked about the thunder and lightning in the sky again, and Li Xianger also shook her head ignorantly, never knowing what thunder and lightning were.

Wang Xiaoming suddenly understood, it is obvious that there is a special power in this world, which causes thunder and lightning not to be generated, and any electronic equipment relies on electricity to operate, and without electricity, electronic equipment cannot be used.

Wang Xiaoming somewhat understood why the electronic devices on his body could not be used.

The inability of electronic devices to work is a big trouble for Wang Xiaoming, after all, many of his methods rely on electronic devices to operate.

Wang Xiaoming had also secretly tried it just now, in addition to the inability to use electronic devices, many things brought from the Lalo Continent could not be used, and spells seemed to be not easy to use in this world.

Luckily, the storage ring can still be used.

Wang Xiaoming has also discovered that spell equipment can be used, but spells are not very easy to use, such as spell scrolls, which are almost powerless.

After learning about the current environment, Wang Xiaoming plans to occupy a foothold here first, and then make plans.

Just as a few people were discussing in the house, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard.

The Li family's mother and daughter both changed their expressions, and Li Xiang'er exclaimed: "It's not good that the alien pirates have come ashore." ”

"Alien pirates?" Wang Xiaoming asked in a loud voice.

Li Xiang'er quickly explained: "Although we also have pirates in Dazhou, we will not fight our own people, only foreign pirates from other countries will come ashore to rob us, let's leave quickly, when the pirates come, we can't leave if we want to." ”

"Wait a minute. Wang Xiaoming said a little wait, and immediately ran out of the yard, jumped up suddenly as soon as he got out of the yard, jumped ten meters high, and saw the situation of the whole village from a high place.

I only saw a group of strangely dressed pirates rushing into the village with weapons in their hands, screaming in their mouths, killing people when they saw them, and the villagers naturally would not be ready to be captured, but where were the villagers the opponents of these bandits with sharp blades, more than ten villagers were killed in just a while.

But the good news is also there, through the murderous methods of these pirates, Wang Xiaoming can be completely sure that although these pirates also have some kung fu in their hands, they are also extremely rare, for opponents of this level, no matter how many people come, it is easy for them to face each other.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming's heart moved, and a one-handed sword appeared in his hand.

This one-handed sword is the super metal weapon found in the treasure of the Starlight Kingdom that day, I really didn't expect that at this time, this weapon came in handy.

Laser swords are also electronic weapons, which cannot be used in this world, so super metal weapons naturally come in handy.

With a sharp sword in hand, Wang Xiaoming entered the house and told the Li family's mother and daughter, and then rushed towards the direction of the pirate with the sword. (To be continued......)
