Chapter 208: A Strange Village

Bai Ye followed the girl down the hill slowly, and several teenagers behind her threw vigilant glances at him from time to time, Bai Ye didn't see it, and clicked on the Fuqiang APP in the watch interface.

Since the upgrade, he hasn't had time to check this APP and rushed here non-stop, and it's only now that he's really free.

He squinted to see that the place where the weapon fragments were displayed had become two pixels-like black and white pictures.

The first pixel image looks like a scythe from the outside, with the word alloy sickle written underneath the image.

Although the second pixel picture is not full of mosaics, Bai Ye didn't understand what it was after looking at it for a long time. And all that is displayed below the image is the text "Unknown Item Fragment +1".

Ding: Detect that there are untrustworthy people around the user, do you want to turn on the projection view mode?

Bai Ye heard that this was quite intelligent, and knew that Dong Lingling was not a person who could be trusted, so he immediately said in his heart: "No need, just look at it like this." But wouldn't there be a difference when you turn on the projection mode?"

Ding: Yes, it can prevent myopia.

White leaves: ......

By this time the people had already walked down the hill and came to the front of the rows of cottages.

Bai Ye looked at the not very large field house, and suddenly became a little curious: "You still grow wheat here?"

"Well, you can plant twice a year. If you don't have food to eat, you can buy it from us, and of course if you want to stay here for a long time, I suggest you rent a piece of land and I'll tell you about the rent......"

"No, I have food. "Bai Yexin said that you can't be killed by the pit if you rent here, and you still have a lot of food, so you can go to the hillside to hunt rabbits or something when you really haven't eaten.

However, he is still quite envious of such a village, where everyone can be self-sufficient and free from outside harassment. When it was determined that Ling Shan's identity as an outsider would not cause trouble to Ling Shan, he could take a few people to find a place like this and live a life without fighting with the world.

"By the way, although wheat is drought tolerant, it still consumes a lot of water every year, where do you have so much water?"

Dong Lingling pointed to the bamboo forest behind the village: "There is an ancient well in there, we all pick the water from the ancient well, and there is a pond next to the ancient well, if you want to eat fish, you can also buy it with me, it is all mine." ”

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't imagine that there was not only food here, but also a water source. What kind of refugee area is here, it's a paradise.

"No, although you are very remote here, it is not so remote that no one knows about it, and if the people in the other refugee areas know that you have a water source here, won't they want to compete with you for water?"

Dong Lingling smiled suddenly: "There was a beast tide here in the early years, and the people in the refugee area were almost dead, and this is the closest place to the mountains, and it is also the closest place to the beast tide, so others naturally dare not come here." ”

Bai Ye thought about it, it was not a general thing to be afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, just like the people in their refugee area, everyone knew that they could find the river by walking forward for a week, but still no one dared to go to the river to get water.

Even refugees living near rivers do not dare to think so.

Just because there are countless piranhas in the river, once you go, you will be sent to death.

There is also a vegetable field next to the wheat field, at this time the owners of the vegetable field are weeding and fertilizing, all of them are farmhouse fertilizer, although the taste is relatively heavy, but this strong local atmosphere, the feeling of indisputable with the world, makes Bai Ye feel that these tastes are actually very good, and they are not so bad.

The peasants all greeted the girl: "Lingling is back!"

Dong Lingling smiled cutely: "Well, third aunt and fourth aunt, your rent was due last month, remember to pay the rent!"

The two women in the field looked embarrassed: "You see we have forgotten this, we just knitted a fine silk can't be used, or can you pay this year's rent?"

Dong Lingling's face became a little unnatural: "Third aunt and fourth aunt, your batch of silk fabrics is still woven with my silk......

"Really...... Haha, that's a ...... Why don't I introduce you to someone, look at the ...... of our village."

"Okay, okay!" Dong Lingling hurriedly waved her hand: "There are so many people in the village, I don't know who is who, forget it this year, you remember that you can't owe me rent next year!"

"Cheng!" The two women immediately nodded in agreement, looking at Bai Ye next to the girl: "Hey, Lingling, who is this person, why have you never seen it before?"

"This is an outsider who wants to stay with us for a month. ”

The two women didn't even do the farm work in their hands now, wiped their hands on their clothes and walked up: "Lingling, let me tell you, your aunt and I just believed the words of the dead ghost in the family before marrying into your village, but you see how miserable your life is now, you can't follow your aunt's old path, if you don't have money, we can still get together, but don't be deceived by those indiscriminate people outside!"

Saying that, a woman also deliberately separated the distance between Bai Ye and Dong Lingling: "Yes, yes, my Dong Qi is very good, he has great strength and can work, if you get married, you will definitely be able to give birth to a lot of big fat boys!"

Bai Ye looked at this scene blankly, I feel that you define me as a bad person, just because you are worried that your son will not be able to find a daughter-in-law? Well, this explanation is reasonable......

Dong Yi and a few people next to him immediately quit: "Fourth aunt, you can't cut the line, we and Lingling are childhood sweethearts, and if we want to get married, we will first choose from a few of us, didn't your Dong Qi just go outside to help people burn bricks, what's there to worry about!"

"Go, go, my family lives in a brick house, you boys are going, do you want Lingling to live in a moldy wooden house with you?"

Several teenagers' faces fell: "What's so proud, we still have a watermelon field at home, Lingling can eat watermelon with any of us." ”

Seeing that the two women were about to quarrel with a few young men, Dong Lingling hurriedly pulled the two sides apart: "Okay, Aunt Four, I'm still underage, and I haven't thought about getting married for the time being." ”

The third aunt shook her head: "That's not good, we are like you, and there are several children! Women, only when there is a child can there be hope, and you don't know those things at the head of the bed, which are more comfortable than the gods!"

Dong Lingling's face turned red, and she ran away with her head down in shame, and the two women were still shouting loudly behind.

Bai Ye shook his head helplessly, I don't know why, he didn't feel how unbearable the women's words were, but there was a kind of naturalness and simplicity. Overall, he still likes it here, although everyone has their own thoughts, but they are very kind.

At this time, it was already past noon, and several teenagers were called back to farm work by their elders, and only girls and teenagers were left walking one after the other on the country road.

Dong Lingling kept her head down, and only whispered after a long time: "My third aunt is like this, don't be surprised." ”

"No, I think that's pretty good. Bai Ye looked at the villagers who were farming in their fields, although their clothes were very shabby, but they were all happy: "By the way, have you lived here since you were a child?"

"Well, basically no one in our village has ever left the village, only Dong Qi went outside to learn how to burn bricks when he was a child, but later because the life outside was too hard, he came back after two years of study. ”

Bai Ye felt that something was wrong: "But your market for gold seems to be ......"

His meaning is simple, since this place has been isolated from the world for a long time, how can it know the daily price of gold?

"We don't know. Dong Lingling shook her head, and at this time, the children who were tired of playing in the bamboo forest ran out, and ran back to their homes after saying hello to Dong Lingling. Dong Lingling smiled and waved her hand: "It's all told us by the teacher, he knows a lot of things!"

Bai Ye became more and more curious about the teacher in Dong Lingling's mouth, it sounded like this person seemed to know a lot of things, and it seemed that he was not from this village like himself.

"Then is your teacher from this village?"

"No, he was bitten by a wolf three years ago and ran to our village, and if I hadn't been able to heal, he would have died. Dong Lingling recalled with her eyes in her eyes: "But since the teacher came, our village has changed a lot. ”

Bai Ye always felt that the other party had changed two words in his mouth, which seemed a little strange: "What kind of change method?"

"In the past, we used to exchange things with our neighbors, but when the teacher came, he taught us arithmetic, collected some of our useless things and gave us money.

Later, the villagers' land became the teacher's land, and the villagers' houses became the teacher's houses. However, the teacher was very kind to me and gave me both the title deed and the house deed. ”

Bai Ye's eyes suddenly lit up when he listened, isn't this exactly the same as what Chen Yong said about driving the economy?!

However, he didn't think that this teacher would have any direct connection with Chen Yong, after all, anyone with knowledge could know this. But what he can be sure of is that the teacher Dong Lingling said must have something to do with the consortium!

Three years ago...... Could it be that a consortium intervened in the village three years ago?

It's right to think about it, there is food and water here, and anyone with a little economic acumen can turn this place into a microcosm of a consortium, or directly change it into a consortium factory.

Finally the two of them walked through the farmhouse to a two-story brick house near the bamboo forest, and the gate was open.

Bai Ye was stunned when he glanced at it, and saw that in the hall of the house on the first floor, neat shelves were being placed, and there were bedding, firewood knives, spatulas, spoons and other household utensils on the shelves, and he even saw a bag of salt.

An old man about sixty years old was holding a small bag of things folded with paper and stuffing them into his pocket, and at the same time took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to the white-haired old man in front of him: "Teacher, give you salt money." ”

The old man smiled and turned out the banknotes: "Cheng, buy more next time!"

Bai Ye was even more stunned when he watched the scene of the two trading, not that this scene was similar to Chen Yong's grocery store, but the money in the hands of the two old men turned out to be the dead people's coins!
