Chapter 55: They're All Too Stupid
After seventeen days of advancing through the mountains, Jing Hong and Miao Xiu came to a small isolated village with only about 30 families. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why I came here was because I got the news that Yun Qi had appeared near here from the memory of a badger demon eight days ago.
At that time, it was still the middle of the night, and Miao Xiu was sleeping hard because of the hard work, but the badger demon suddenly attacked, so Jinghong didn't say anything polite to it, and simply shot it half to death, and then searched the soul by the way.
Originally, her soul search was just based on her usual cautious and cautious instinct, but she really found Yun Qi's trace by mistake.
However, it is a pity that the badger demon only has a silhouette of Yun Qi in his memory, so Jinghong decided to come to this village to find out the news.
The village was full of thatched huts, and the villagers were all wearing simple clothes and trousers made of coarse linen or animal skins, so when Jing Hong and Miao Xiu, two beautiful women in ordinary muslin robes, appeared in the village, some villagers immediately quietly cast their eyes.
Jinghong didn't care, and directly took Miao Xiu to the village chief's house.
After renting a hut at the village chief's house with two silver ingots weighing ten taels, Jinghong went straight to the point and explained his intention.
The village chief is an old man with a goatee in his early fifties, although he has never seen much of the world, but fortunately he is not a stupid person, and he did not have any bad thoughts about these two female dolls because of the age of Jinghong and Miao Xiu.
After receiving the money, he immediately summoned the whole village to the threshing floor.
Of course, Jinghong also followed, but to her disappointment, the old village chief inquired, but the villagers failed to provide her with any clues about Yun Qi.
However, several villagers have reported that the forest to the northwest of the village has recently become strange.
Seeing that Jinghong was interested, the old village chief hurriedly asked for details.
The villagers then recounted in detail.
Only then did Jing Hong know that they used to go to the periphery of the forest to hunt and chop wood, but recently they couldn't go into the forest anyway. No matter which direction they try from, they will eventually step outside.
However, because there are many similar forests around the village, the lives of the villagers have not been greatly affected.
Moreover, living in this kind of place, the villagers have long been accustomed to not delving into those difficult mysteries, so after they found that the forest could not be entered, they just complained a few words about nothing, but they did not take this matter very seriously.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't answer the village chief's question today, they wouldn't have taken it out of their way to talk about it.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything anymore, with a flick of his sleeves, ten bags and a total of 2,000 catties of japonica rice suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
In the irrepressible exclamation of everyone, Jing Hong instructed the old village chief to divide the grain according to the head, "All the people in this village, regardless of age, each person will have ten catties, and the rest will be yours." If there is any deception or injustice......"
The old village chief waved his hand again and again, "The old man doesn't dare to deceive the fairy, and please rest assured." ”
Jing Hong nodded with satisfaction, and returned to the rented cottage with a shocked Miao Xiu.
After the food was quickly distributed and everyone left happily, the old village chief came to Jinghong to report the results.
Jinghong took another twenty catties of lake salt and two wild boars that she hunted on the road to reward the old village chief, only to stretch the folds on the old village chief's face a little bit.
Of course, this is not that he can't hide things in his heart and is prone to anger and anger, but it is that his gains today far exceed his expectations.
The people in the village have divided a total of more than 1,600 catties of japonica rice, which means that he earned more than 300 catties at once, plus the 20 catties of lake salt and two wild boars that Jinghong gave him just now, their value is equivalent to the income of their family for two years.
Not to mention, before that, Jinghong also gave him twenty taels of snowflake silver.
After a brief but sincere expression of gratitude and loyalty, the old village chief happily called his three sons and two older grandsons, and then whispered to them to carry the wild boar and lake salt back to the empty wing.
After closing the door, Jing Hong smiled and sat down beside Miao Xiu, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Miao Xiu was not as shocked as she was just now, but her puzzled emotions did make her belly.
Although inquiring about other people's family backgrounds made her a little uncomfortable, she was really curious, and after a long time, she finally opened her mouth, "Senior sister, you ...... Your storage bag ......"
Jing Hong nodded calmly, "As you think, my storage bag can hold a lot of things, and those two thousand catties of japonica rice are just a drop in the bucket." ”
Miao Xiu was not surprised at all, in her mind, if it weren't for this, how could Jinghong waste space to put japonica rice!
Miao Xiu didn't ask Jinghong idiotic questions such as "Why didn't you say it earlier", she still understood the truth that wealth was not exposed.
It's impossible to say that she doesn't envy at all, but after all, she is not the kind of strange person who "everything good must belong to me" and "no one can live better than me".
"By the way, senior sister, this is for you. As he spoke, he took out a storage bag with a volume of about twenty-four cubic meters and handed it to Miao Xiu.
In addition to shocking the villagers, part of the reason why she showed her hand today was that she felt that she could start to gradually reveal her true self to Miao Xiu.
When Miao Xiu saw that Jinghong had given her such a valuable thing, she immediately moved her body back in fright, and her little head shook like a rattle, "Senior sister, this can't be helped." I...... How can I ask for your stuff?"
Jing Hong pulled out a large pile of storage bags as if he was juggling, "Don't be nervous. You see, I have a lot of them, just to give you one. ”
Miao Xiu's movements froze suddenly, and it took a long time for her to turn her head stiffly and glance at the hill of storage bags, "Master...... Sister...... You...... You ......"
Jinghong smiled innocently, "I robbed it all." How else can I have room for some japonica rice?"
"Hit ...... Robbery?!" Miao Xiu suddenly felt that her various perceptions of Jinghong in the past were in danger of collapsing.
"Well, robbery. The black and white phoenix eyes blinked and were gratifying, "Senior sister, you don't know, when I go out to hang out, I am very easy to meet bad people, but they can't beat me, so in the end, all their things will become my things." ”
Miao Xiu looked at Jinghong with an incredible look, "Since they can't beat you, then why are they still ......?"
Jinghong shrugged innocently, "Maybe they're all too stupid, right?"
Miao Xiu's face suddenly turned black.
