"Lausanne, what's the name of where you live, and how many people are there?" In Lausanne's puzzled gaze, Liu Xiu asked.

Liu Xiu, who learned the language from Lausanne, was still not very familiar with it, although he was a little unsatisfactory, he still tried to express his meaning as clearly as possible.

Starting from the living environment in Lausanne, Liu Xiu decided to slowly expand out to understand the outside world.

Scratching his head, Lausanne replied: "The place where I live is called Linbian Village, just on the edge of this forest, the number of people, more than 1,000 people, I don't know how much, almost 300 households."

Lausanne's answer was detailed, but it was a bit general for Liu Xiu, but this did not prevent Liu Xiu from sketching out the situation in Linbian Village in his mind.

Nodding, Liu Xiu asked again: "Then how far is the Linbian Village you are talking about from here?" ”

This question is very crucial, which allows Liu Xiu to roughly figure out how far away he is from the human society in the outside world.

Lausanne shook his head a little dazedly and said, "I don't know how far it is, but I have been gone for almost ten days when I came to Engong."

Since he could barely communicate, Liu Xiu asked Lausanne to call him by his name directly, but he stubbornly commensurate himself with Engong, and corrected Lausanne many times, and Liu Xiu could only let him go.

To be honest, Liu Xiu was not very satisfied with Lausanne's answer, but it made him understand that if there was no waterfall blocking the way, it would take him five days at most to completely get out of the forest.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu said: "Do you know that there is a very tall cliff in the forest?" How far is that place from Linbian Village? ”

"Engong is talking about the cliff of life and death, I know this, that place is still two days away from our Linbian Village," Lausanne nodded immediately.

It turns out that I was only two days away from human society? Liu Xiu was a little depressed in his heart, and asked in amazement: "Why do you call that place the Cliff of Life and Death?" ”

Hearing this question, Lausanne's eyes flashed with deep fear, and he took a deep breath and said: "Because that place is a clear dividing line, even the most experienced hunters dare not cross the cliff of life and death and go deep into the mountains and forests again, once they cross the situation of almost ten deaths, so it is called the cliff of life and death, and even I heard the old people in the village say that even those powerful warriors mention the cliff of life and death, and their color changes ......."

Liu Xiuxin said that this is the origin of the cliff of life and death, seeing Luosang's expression of wanting to speak, he asked curiously: "What do you want to say?" ”

“…… Eun Gong, are you a warrior? You're so powerful, you must be a martial artist, right? After a moment of cramping, Lausanne finally asked what was in his heart, I am afraid that this question has been holding in his heart for a long time.

Looking at his hands, Liu Xiu said uncertainly: "Martial artist? Perhaps......"

Practicing nameless body cultivation skills to enhance physical fitness, now his limit is not clear to Liu Xiu, but he does not know any martial arts, so Liu Xiu himself does not know whether he is a martial artist or not.

When Lausanne asked Liu Xiu if he was a martial artist, Liu Xiu could obviously see the fear and yearning revealed in his eyes, so he asked curiously: "Martial artist, can you tell me in detail?" ”

For the so-called martial artists, Liu Xiu was full of curiosity in his heart.

Faced with this question, Luosang scratched his head, and his face turned red before he said: "I don't know about martial artists, but I heard the old people in the village say that they are some very powerful people, just like Engong, I don't know about the rest......"

Lausanne used two very powerful words in a row to describe the so-called martial artists, which shows that the strength of this kind of person should be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Looking at his palm, Liu Xiu thought that the so-called martial artists in Luosang's mouth were all powerful people like himself, and suddenly Liu Xiu felt in his heart that the outside world didn't seem to be so beautiful, so was it better for him to continue to live here?

Liu Xiu has a strong sense of crisis, even if his current strength is so strong that he can pull up a big tree that needs to be hugged with great effort, he still doesn't have much sense of security in his heart after hearing the so-called martial artist in Luosang's mouth......

Do you want to feel like you can walk safely outside before trying to set foot in the outside world?

Obviously, Luosang had only heard of people like martial artists, and he didn't know anything else, and Liu Xiu knew that he would not get useful information if he asked this question again.

After this period of getting along, Liu Xiu knew that Luosang was actually a stuffy gourd character, and he couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, and if you didn't take the initiative to talk to him, he could be bored for a day.

So he changed the topic and asked, "So what country does Linbian Village belong to?" What is the country name and what is the year name? ”

"The country? Country name? The era name? Lausanne repeated with a blank expression.

Liu Xiu was stunned and asked, "You don't know any of this?" ”

Could it be that the outside world is a highly technologically advanced world? It can be seen that Lausanne doesn't look like it.

"I've been to Qingliu Town as far as I go, and I haven't been there many times, so I don't know what Engong said" Lausanne scratched his head, a little afraid to look at Liu Xiu, as if he was embarrassed because he couldn't answer Liu Xiu's question, and seemed to feel inferior because he had little knowledge.

Lausanne doesn't even know anything like the country, which makes Liu Xiu a little crazy, could it be that the Linbian Village where Lausanne is located is also as isolated from the world as himself? But that's not the case with Lausanne.

In another way, Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "You should have taxes in Linbian Village, right?" So who is this tax paid to? Who is managing these? What kind of people are the people who make a series of rules? ”

Liu Xiu asked this series of questions, and Luosang was almost stunned, and it took a long time to answer intermittently: "We have taxes, and the taxes are taken to the town and handed over to the Tian family, and the Tian family is managing the taxes of our Linbian Village, and even the taxes of several other villages around are managed by the Tian family, as for who made the rules, I don't know......"

Speaking of this, Lausanne hesitated for a moment and added: "In Qingliu Town, there are still two families like the Tian family, and these three families manage the entire large and small villages in Qingliu Town, and the amount of taxes is set by the three of them."

Hearing this, Liu Xiu was stunned, the family system manages people's livelihood? What about political axes? If several families run a town, wouldn't the rules conflict? Or is there no such thing as a state in this world?

In order to understand this, Liu Xiu asked: "Who do they listen to people like the Tian family?" ”

"I don't know......," Lausanne scratched his head, and he didn't know anything.

Liu Xiu expressed helplessness in this regard, but he had a vague guess in his heart, Lausanne mentioned the so-called martial artists, and the martial artists are very powerful, so will the so-called rules and regulations of the outside world be formulated by powerful martial artists? Think about it again, could it be that the Tian family is the so-called warrior family?

Thinking about it like this, Liu Xiu realized that the appearance seemed to be quite chaotic?

Unable to ask a reason from Luosang's mouth, Liu Xiu could only change the topic and ask: "What kind of money do you use?" ”

The reason why Liu Xiu asked this question is to understand the outside world through money, after all, the formation of a social system must be inseparable from money, and bartering is a primitive society.

"Money? It's copper coins, three copper coins can buy a pound of coarse grain...... It seems like so, but I have very little access to money, because our Linbian village is very poor," Lausanne said, scratching his head again.

Nodding thoughtfully, Liu Xiu asked again: "Is there any other currency besides copper coins?" What are the proportions? ”

"Should there be other currencies?" Lausanne immediately said blankly.

Hearing this, Liu Xiu suddenly thought of a joke on the Internet in his previous life, many married men have never seen a currency unit larger than a dollar......

After communicating so much with Lausanne, Liu Xiu's heart became more and more confused, he didn't know anything, could it be that this guy was a wild man living in an isolated place?

With a sigh in his heart, Liu Xiu felt that it was better to forget it, and if he asked Lausanne again, he was afraid that he would be confused, it seemed that if he wanted to fully understand the outside, he would have to go on a trip himself.

With a decision in his heart, Liu Xiu suddenly became relaxed and began to ask Lausanne his own questions, saying: "Lausanne, during this time, I often see you looking out of the mountain in a daze, is it because you are homesick?" ”

Lausanne looked up, then nodded and shook his head.

"Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Liu Xiu said speechlessly.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and Lausanne said, "I'm a little homesick, but I'm more worried about the situation in the village......"

Speaking of this, Lausanne wanted to speak again and stopped.

"Worried about the situation in the village? What's the situation? Liu Xiu asked curiously.

Taking a deep breath, Lausanne said intermittently: "Engong, the reason why I came here, in fact, was also a last resort, there was a heavy rain at the beginning of spring, which caused the river to rise and collapse the fields, so this year's geography is almost no harvest, the villagers have nothing to eat, not to say, as time passes day by day, the time to pay taxes comes, but the village can't pay this year's taxes at all, the Tian family doesn't care so much, if they can't pay the taxes, they will arrest people to deduct taxes, and they will be killed by his family to vent their anger, so in desperation, The villagers had to take the risk and select twenty of the most experienced and strongest hunters in the village to go into the mountains, in order to find something that would be worth this year's taxes......

Hearing this, Liu Xiu almost already knew the next plot, they didn't find what they were looking for on the cliff of life and death, so they ventured over the cliff of life and death, and then encountered danger, and in the end, only Lausanne was forced to come here in embarrassment.

They are all hard-working people, Liu Xiu sighed in his heart.

Interrupting Lausanne, Liu Xiu said: "The grass that you are still protecting after you are unconscious is the harvest you have gained from entering the mountain this time?" After Lausanne nodded, Liu Xiu asked again: "What kind of grass is that?" Can it be worth the tax that your village needs to pay this year? ”

In a village of more than 1,000 people, a single grass can cover all the taxes? Are you kidding?

"I don't know what kind of grass this is, but the uncle who led the team at that time told me that the Tian family had a rule that as long as one such grass can be used to offset the tax of a village!" To this, Lausanne gave an affirmative answer.

A single grass is worth a village's taxes, so what kind of valuable thing is that?

Liu Xiu was curious, but there was too little information, looking at Lausanne, Liu Xiu smiled: "So you are in a hurry to bring this grass back during this time?" ”

"Well, the time for taxation is getting closer and closer, I have to bring it back, in fact, I have long wanted to say goodbye to Engong, but I found that Engong has not finished so many things, I don't know how to ......speak," Luosang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Xiu and said.

This is a stupid big guy, so simple that people don't know what to say.

Shaking his head, Liu Xiu asked, "Are you sure you can bring that grass back to the village safely?" ”

"I don't know, but I'll have to try, it's the only hope for the village......" Lausanne said bitterly.

In fact, both Lausanne and Liu Xiu know that if Lausanne is alone, the chance of going out alive is almost zero!

Even so, Lausanne has no other choice.

Shaking his head, Liu Xiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's use the rest of the time to prepare today, and tomorrow morning, I'll take you out!" ”

"Really?" Luosang looked up at Liu Xiu in disbelief.

Regarding the question of Liu Xiu protecting him out, Lausanne didn't dare to think about it before.

Liu Xiu smiled and didn't say anything.

I've been isolated here for so long, it's time to go out of the mountains to understand the specific situation of the outside world, and again, with my current physical fitness, I think it shouldn't be a big problem to walk through the forest, right?

In fact, Liu Xiu's heart is more inclined to spend another year and a half, after all, the martial artist that Lausanne said makes Liu Xiu a little insecure, but Lausanne is eager to go back, and Liu Xiu can't watch this stupid guy go to death......
