A middle-aged man in the crowd snorted coldly, full of disdain. In this kind of poor country where the world is not concerned, jewelry may be attractive, but it is useless, and Lin Yue naturally understands this truth.

Looking at the obsessive and envious looks of many of these women, Lin Yue chuckled unhurriedly: "This, worth one hundred taels of silver, if it is exchanged for rice, the vegetables and meat are enough for you to eat for more than a month." ”

"January!" Some women were amazed that they might have just thought the hosta was beautiful, but now they had to look at it again.

The big man was stunned, listening to the sighs around him, his face was a little not good-looking, "How do we know if you are lying, and even so, this is not a waste stick when it comes to us, you want to use it to buy us to stay with you, daydreaming!" ”

He snorted viciously, but there was some truth in what he said.

After all, in such a place, people are completely bartered with each other, even if they get hairpins? They can't get out of the land.

What's more, people's xenophobic thinking has long been ingrained, and it is not something that Lin Yue can impress with a few words.

"And what if I say I have a way to exchange it for food for you?" Hooking the corners of her lips, Lin Yue said word by word. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and this sentence is applicable everywhere, but the concept of money is just converted into food.

"This ......" The man was choked by her, although he was still unwilling to believe it, his heart had gradually turned to what Lin Yue said.

If it can really be changed, what if it is to let these strangers stay for a few more days?

"You're really not going to lie to us?" A slightly old voice squeezed through the crowd, Lin Yue raised his eyes and looked, and a man about forty or fifty years old walked over with a wooden stick in his hand.

He was in a straight shape, and he didn't look like he was suffering from a hidden disease. And with his appearance, Lin Yue was keenly aware that the surrounding villagers had all taken a few steps back to make way for the man.

"Village chief, this ......" The man who had spoken earlier stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

Lin Yue only felt that the village chief's eyes changed instantly when he looked at him, his hair was a little gray, and the wooden stick in his hand that symbolized his status smacked the ground several times before he spoke: "We can let you sit down, but what you just said ......"

Retracting his mind, Lin Yue put down the soup bowl in his hand with a light smile, and his eyes fell on the plates of side dishes in front of him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small dish, the already small table is already crowded with only four or five plates, and everyone has a small bowl in front of them, which contains half a bowl of bland porridge.

The colorless soup was steaming hot, and Lin Yuefang only took a sip, but he had already deeply realized the barrenness of the local villagers.

There are very few types of dishes, and several of them are still repeated, and the palm-sized plate contains less than half of the volume. Not to mention the five people present, I'm afraid that three people won't have enough to eat.

I don't know if I noticed Lin Yue's gaze, the village chief scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "We don't have any good wine and food, and we ask a few adults to make do with it." ”

He didn't do it on purpose, even the village chief's own family didn't have much food.

"Don't worry." Lin Yue smiled lightly, picked up a pair of chopsticks and shriveled scones, Lin Yue ate deliciously, but the village chief was stunned by her actions.

"Okay, that's good." Hiding the grief in her eyes, Lin Yue's actions made the village chief have a lot less prejudice against them. Love you eBook

After breakfast, Lin Yue planned to go to the village chief to ask if there was a market in the village.

Lin Yue originally brought some food, but she didn't think that a heavy rain would not drown them, but the food was spoiled and moldy because of the moisture. Rushing along the way, almost the more remote it is to the north, if you don't prepare, you are afraid that sooner or later you will starve to death on the way, so Lin Yue thought about the nearby market in the hall, and found this village.

Hearing Lin Yue's needs, the village chief first shook his head, then pondered for a while, and finally sighed and shook his head: "No, there were still some in previous years, but now this village is so poor, we don't know how to get out, let alone the market, even we can't protect ourselves, alas." ”

Sighing, the village chief's eyes were full of helplessness for reality.

Lin Yue frowned, still a little surprised by the village chief's words. Although she has not been in this world for a long time, she has not lived in vain, how can Shun be a big power, how can she not even know that the remote villages are so barren.

"That...... My lord, what you said earlier about the hairpin for food, this ...... But really? Seeing that Lin Yue fell silent, the village chief was unwilling to give up his thoughts, and rubbed his hands and asked.

Lin Yue's words yesterday were like a brand in the hearts of every villager.

"Huh? Well. Recovering from her contemplation, Lin Yue nodded.

After all, in the capital, one hundred taels can indeed be exchanged for a lot of food. However, she has left the capital now, but when she writes a letter to Bixin, she will definitely fulfill her request and deliver food to these villagers.

"Then, can you help us change some more food?" Seeing Lin Yue's answer, the village chief suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, so frightened that Lin Yue almost jumped up from the chair.

"What is the village chief doing, get up quickly!" Lin Yue raised his hand to help him up from the ground, and without thinking about how hard he could, the village chief's knees seemed to be fixed on the ground. "I beg you, we didn't know you like that before, please save our village!"

"The village chief has something to say, if I can help, I will definitely help." Lin Yue was shocked in her heart and said busily. His hands did not stop dragging on the old man.

After all, if she is a junior to bear the kneeling of the elders, it will cost her life.

"Hey, okay." Hearing her say this, the village elder's eyes turned red and he quickly got up from the ground. That action, just like a healthy and lively young adult, how can there be a little twilight?

Lin Yue didn't pay much attention to it, after all, she was more curious about the village chief's words.

A few hours ago, the villagers, including the village chief, were hostile to her, a stranger, but now they are so humble and begging for help. "But what happened?" Lin Yue asked.

The village chief did not hesitate, and told Lin Yue what happened to the village one by one.

It turns out that this village has existed for a long time, as early as when the first emperor was in charge of the government, because of his warlike and brave nature, although the Shun Kingdom has become stronger little by little, there is no shortage of people in the marginal towns that have been poisoned by the war.

Some of these people died under the machetes of the empire, and some of them fled like exiles. No matter how strong a country is, it is not welcome to these displaced people.

So there are some villagers who have found such a place to settle down.

In the beginning, it was not as barren as it is now, but with the wartime, the strength of the Shun Kingdom was based on some sacrifices.
