Chapter 317: Overnight
"Mother, I'm back with a guest!" There was still some distance from the door, and Lilina couldn't help but shout excitedly.
The little girl has a round apple face and big eyes, even if the clothes she wears are covered with patches, she is very cute.
With a squeak, the bamboo house slowly opened the door, and a thin figure walked out. Seeing that her daughter was really carrying two guests, a man and a woman, Enlu couldn't help but show a surprised and apprehensive expression, and while pulling her daughter to stand beside her, she said a little restrained to Guan Guan and Fan Qi: "Do the two guests really want to stay in our house?" β
Guan Guan nodded, and deliberately emphasized: "But we don't borrow seeds." β
The reason why they are here is a long story.
There was really nothing special about Belton in Ah Hui's mouth, but it was only after Guan Guan and Fan Qi arrived that they discovered that this plane was special...... It's hard to put into words.
It's very poor, and there are few people who don't have patches, and the houses are more dilapidated than the other.
That's it. The economy here is not developed, and there is no such thing as a hotel, and almost every household in this plane is accustomed to making some extra money by entertaining visitors. Forget it, they actually offer special services.
Don't doubt it, it's the kind of special service you want.
It was only after they inquired that they found out that the shellfish produced by Belton was a rare cultivation resource. However, this is of no use to the aborigines!
Because the shellfish produced by Belton was so rich in energy that the aborigines could not use these shellfish for cultivation at all. It's just that this plane is also strange, only shellfish contain energy, and other animals and plants are very ordinary.
As a result, Belton himself has no strength, and people in high positions will naturally not be willing to trade with them fairly.
No, to be precise, no one wants to trade with the natives at all, they prefer to plunder.
After all, it doesn't require capital, even with the strength of the Belton people...... There is no risk associated with this behavior yet.
In this way, although Belton is not a slave plane, it is actually not much different, and anyone can go to this place to rob it.
It is said that the aborigines of Belton did not resist, but they all ended in failure.
And then, I don't know what these aborigines think, they came up with a little ...... The peculiar way - borrowing.
They want to improve their genes through foreign genes so that their offspring can use shellfish for cultivation.
Since then, Belton has introduced a law β a same-race non-marriage law. Both males and females can only combine with foreign races to reproduce.
Of course, almost all outsiders look down on Belton's people, and naturally it is impossible to marry them.
But if it's a dewy marriage...... But most people are willing to accept it. Especially after giving birth to a child, you can leave it alone.
Guan Guan and Fan Qi didn't know about this situation before, and chose a clean and tidy homestay. As a result, when the two were separated for a short time, the little grandson of the family ran to Guan Guan to be courteous, and the little granddaughter ran to Fan Qidu to be courteous.
Only then did the two realize that something was wrong, and when the parents of the family proposed to borrow seeds, the two left without hesitation.
When they went outside to inquire about the situation, the two of them had a headache, so they met Lilina who came out to greet customers.
The little girl had a word from her mouth, knowing that she was a very rare pure Beltonβthat is, her parents were Belton, and they agreed to come and see her.
Hearing Guan Guan's request, Enlu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The poverty of the family was not only due to the exclusion of their compatriots and the serious illness of their husbands, but also because the guests gradually became accustomed to the customs of Belton, and would ask for special services when they stayed.
Those like them, who do not provide special services, have become out of place and no one cares.
"Guests, please come in." Enlu took them into the bamboo house, and when she saw them looking at the furnishings in the house, she said a little nervously: "I only have one extra room in my house, if the guests need two rooms, Lilina's room can be used, but her room is relatively small and not big." β
Guan Guan shook his head, "No, we are husband and wife." In fact, the environment inside the bamboo house was much better than she expected, not to mention clean and tidy, and the decoration was quite warm.
Whether it's a small flower inserted in a glass bottle on the table or a handmade wind chime in the window, it is quite distinctive.
Then, Enlu led them into the guest room, and while taking the bedding out of the cabinet and laying it out, she lowered her head and explained: "This quilt is new, although it has been left for a few years, it has not been covered before, it is very clean, I will take it out to dry every once in a while." The sun was fine for the first two days, and the bedding was freshly sunburned. β
Guan Guan smiled and said politely: "I'm tired." Even if she is out of the house, she does not lack a quilt in her space ring, but since the other party is so nervous, she doesn't need to explain too much.
Enlu breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What do you two want to eat at night?" I will cook a lot of dishes. β
Guan Guan knew that she was asking her for ingredients in disguise, so he took out a leg of mutton, two fish, and some vegetables, fruits, and rice from the space ring.
- The Belton people don't want money to stay with foreigners, they want these ingredients. Of course, they are not for food and clothing, but hope to increase their physique by eating these energy-containing ingredients, and have achieved the goal of being able to cultivate with shellfish.
Enlu took a large basket of ingredients with some excitement, bowed and said, "I'll go prepare it now." β
Guan Guan is not worried, Belton people are very good at cooking, and they are very good at cooking.
Putting the ingredients in the kitchen, Enlu couldn't help but run back to her room with some excitement, and said to her husband: "Penris, Penris, we have guests." They gave me such a big leg of mutton, and two big fish that weigh twenty pounds together, as well as those vegetables, fruits, and rice, all of which contain energy, you can get better, you can get better! β
A woman who was calm before, but she will be happy like a girl and cry like a child.
Penrith, who was leaning on the bed, was stunned for a moment, and while comforting his wife, he couldn't help but doubt: "What you just said...... It's true? β
"It's really, really. You wait, I'll go and make you a bowl of fish soup to drink. With that, Enlu wiped her tears, stood up and ran out.
Penrith raised his hand but couldn't stop her, so he could only say in the back, "Slow down!" β
He turned his head to look at his weak legs, and before he could sigh, he heard the door push. On his daughter's face, he suddenly ignored these and showed a doting smile.
