Chapter Eighty-Seven: Returning Home

Early the next morning, Li Tang ran to the post station, found a carriage, and asked to go to Qingtan Town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To say, why didn't Li Tang himself ride a horse? In fact, Li Tang also wants to ride a horse by himself! However, Li Tang heard that Qingtan Town is nearly 3,000 miles away from Zhangling County, all of which are small roads, barely accessible by carriages, and there are many forks in the road, and people who are not familiar with the road will definitely not be able to walk.

Speaking of which, the current map is really too big, the distance between the two market towns is hundreds of thousands of miles away, and the roads in many places are still built by the mountains, twists and turns, I don't know how many detours, it is extremely difficult to walk from one town to another, let alone communicate with the city.

At this stage, many players are still stuck in the market town and cannot go to the county seat. It's because the distance is long, and if you're not careful, you will take a fork in the road. In addition, the mountain roads are full of dangers, and often because of the long distance, they cannot reach the nearby villages and towns, so they have to spend the night on the mountain roads, and as a result, they are attacked by all kinds of fierce beasts.

Li Tang rented a system carriage, one is fast, and the horses can be changed in the villages and towns halfway, which can be done day and night, and the 3,000-mile journey takes only 3 days.

Of course, the speed of travel in the game is also greatly increased compared to reality. The light carriage of an ordinary yellow-maned horse can reach a speed of 60 miles per hour on the mountain road, and it is no problem to run for 8 hours a day without changing horses.

It is also possible to rent a horse-drawn carriage without detours. After all, the post station is in this business, and it will definitely not go the wrong way.

Third, it can reduce the invasion of wild beasts. Generally speaking, the coachman of the post house knows where there is danger and where there is not, and can basically avoid walking to those dangerous areas at night.

Fourth, you can sleep in the carriage and save rest time. Although the player doesn't have to sleep at night, if they don't sleep, it will be difficult to recover their energy.

Although 3 days is short, it still tosses Li Tang enough. The carriage was not as comfortable as the sedans of later generations, and the mountain road was extremely bumpy, and all the way down, Li Tang felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart. Fortunately, the body in the game is much stronger, but it can still be eaten.

Arrived at Qingtan Town, Li Tang asked the carriage to stay here and wait for him for a day or two, the carriage was naturally willing to wait, after all, there was still a cost for the air defense car to go back, and there would be an income for Li Tang to go back, right?

Of course, Li Tang also paid 5 gold coins for this entire trip, which is actually higher than the market price, fully considering the danger of this trip.

Li Tang arrived at Qingtan Town, the archway in the town is still the original appearance, the pattern of the town has basically not changed much, although the town is not small, but Li Tang's home is indeed not far from the archway, so Li Tang soon returned to his home.

Li Tang's home is still the same, with four walls, it should be the lowest kind of private house, and there are no tables, chairs, pans, etc. in the house, it is estimated that it was sold by Li Tang's predecessor.

Li Tang remembered in the bare home for a while, and walked out of the house, but there were a few people at the door who greeted Li Tang, looking at their familiar appearance, they must have known Li Tang.

It's just that this greeting still hurts Li Tang's self-esteem, because most of their greetings are:

"Diao, you're wandering around again! I haven't seen you in days! Where did you steal a dog-like garment? Don't have a sword in your waist, learn to pretend to be a reader! ”

"Depressed! I've been missing for almost a year, and you haven't seen me for a few days, so it seems that my sense of existence is too low! ”

Li Tang thought to himself, but it didn't matter, Li Tang didn't care about their words.

So he replied: "A few days ago, I went out for a walk, I met a local tyrant, I helped him lead the way, he gave it to me, do you think I look like a chivalrous person?" ”

"Like a JB!" Everyone sneered, and the envy of Li Tang's good luck in his words was still revealed.

Everyone still believes in Li Tang's words. Because there are indeed many people in the town, who have encountered some wealthy local tyrants and spent a lot of money. Sending something to the aborigines, but it's just a matter of raising your hand.

In fact, most of these local tyrants are players. Moreover, some time ago, many spies from the Great Guild came to Qingtan Town. Use more money to buy villagers, obtain information from other players, and be considered by the aborigines to be foreign tyrants, mostly stupid and rich.

When Li Tang left the house, he had already asked for his mother's location in reality, and he was helping out in a steamed bun shop. Originally, Li Tang didn't want his mother to work in the game, but his mother didn't want to. Li Tang thought about it, there was a fixed location, and Li Tang was easy to find, so he agreed.

Qingtan Town is not big, and it is not small to say. After looking for a long time and asking a lot of people, I finally found the steamed bun shop where my mother worked. Seeing his mother who was busy in the bun shop in the game, Li Tang did not go to recognize him, but silently remembered the location, and then walked away.

It's not that Li Tang doesn't want to recognize each other, but he doesn't want others to know his identity through his mother.

Leaving the bun shop, Li Tang ran to the market to wander around. In the bazaar, there is more game for sale. After all, this is the middle of the mountain, and the player can hit the beast when he goes out of the city gate.

Li Tang selected some souvenirs and put them in his storage bag, ready to eat them when he was homesick in the future.

Speaking of which, this Cheongdam town is surrounded by mountains. You must know that in reality, it is also a hilly and mountainous area, but now it has become a majestic mountain. There are also some small plains dotted around, because the area is not large, at most there are some villages.

The vast majority of land is borderland. To establish villages and towns here, although it is not easy for aborigines and players to reach and is destined to be unpopular, there will be no room for development in the future, but there are mostly mountains and hills in the territory, and there is no space for practical use.

Li Tang wanted to choose a plain area to establish a village and town, but unfortunately there was no extra village building order at hand, and he didn't have the extra energy to take care of all this.

However, it can still be expected that if there is a village or town here, although it is not very popular at the moment, when the war is in full swing, a large number of people who have fled the famine will come here to avoid the chaos. Because, no matter what kind of rebel army is, it will not be thousands of miles away from the city to fight the idea of a small village and town, which is extremely uneconomical.

As for the idea of establishing villages and towns here, Li Tang is also just thinking about it. If Li Tang has no foundation, it is actually a good plan to establish villages and towns here. Today's Li Tang already has small wings, of course, he will not be in a corner of peace and farm in a muffled voice.

Speaking of establishing villages and towns, in fact, Li Tang really has this plan. However, the site of the establishment was near Jingzhou.

Through a few days of observation, Li Tang estimated that with the development of time, although many aborigines will flee to live in the mountains, players may gradually move closer to the big cities.

This is actually determined by the player's nature. Because, players, regardless of gender, young and old, enter the game to experience a different life, and some people find that the game is very rich. These goals can only be achieved if they are close to those cities.

You must know that in the villages, the rulers at the grassroots level are the patriarchs and village elders of various surnames, and their ideas are outdated, and it is inevitable that they will defect to the city if they want to have a way out.

And in the market town, although there are many big surnames, but the influence of the clan is still quite large, and there are some xenophobia, some players born here are better, those players from other places are basically not welcomed, and the players who stay here are basically working for the aborigines, and there is not much development prospect.

In the city, there are all kinds of people, although they are dominated by several wealthy families, belonging to the privileged class of the city, but their number is relatively small, so relatively speaking, the environment of the city is more suitable for the development of players, there are more opportunities, you can make better money, you can buy more materials, because the logistics cost of goods is less, so the materials are also cheaper.

However, many players choose to build market towns around the city, although this is more risky, but there will also be more opportunities.

As more and more cities are built and social development gradually stabilizes, it is estimated that more indigenous people will move out of the mountains and into the cities to live. After all, although the warlords in the mountains are far away from the warlords, there are also many warlords who have lost their power and have fallen into the mountains and fled to the mountains, and the targets of their scourge must be the people in these mountains.

At present, the number of thieves and their nests in the mountains are basically fixed, and the common people live in the mountains, and although they are also exploited by bandits, they can basically maintain a balance.

Although the people were attacked by wild beasts from time to time and were limited by the lack of supplies, they were still able to survive.

Moreover, although the mountainous areas are not rich, there are few famine years. After all, I have only heard that people starve to death in the plains, and there is basically no such situation in the mountainous areas, and jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, insects, rats, ants, bark, grass roots, fish, shrimp, mussels, and snails are all food.

The author was born in a hilly area, and I heard that few people in the local area have starved to death in the past dynasties, and the only time people starved to death was the natural and man-made disasters in New China. If it was just a natural disaster, it shouldn't have starved to death.

Beyond the hills, it was even more miserable, until after the opening, there were still many professional beggars wandering to the author's hometown, telling what they saw and heard at that time, and it was true.

Therefore, although the mountainous area is bitter, for people in troubled times, it can also be regarded as a small paradise, and the people live in it as much as a glutton.

The world is the world of careerists, though. With them, the world is destined to be unpeaceful. When careerists large and small begin to fight, the failed careerists retreat to the mountains and forests and become thieves.

Thieves do not give birth, and naturally survive by sucking the blood of the people. A small number of lice can be tolerated, but these careerists are indeed vicious wolves who specialize in eating meat, how can the people who remain in the mountains stand it?

When they had enough of the exploitation of the thieves, they would naturally move out of the mountains and go to the city to make a living. After all, the city is protected by the city, and although it has also been exploited, it is still fairer after all.

In later generations, the author's hometown was full of barren fields and dilapidated houses, and the villagers had long fled to the cities.

Li Tang wandered around the city and met the old sister-in-law who was still selling steamed buns. Li Tang bought some steamed buns, held them in his hand, and ate them while walking, after all, they are the steamed buns in his hometown, and the taste is fragrant.
