Chapter 160: The Desolate Northern Wilderness

North of the East China Sea, offshore of the Northern Wilderness.

Long'er's treasure boat had been carrying the three of them on the sea for four days, and at this time they were standing in the bow of the ship, and they could already see a piece of land not far away.

"Fanchen, dragon, look... It's the Northern Wilderness ahead..."Xiao He said as he greeted the sea breeze and pointed to the looming place in front of him.

"I'll see... Yes, the front is the Northern Wilderness, I didn't expect to arrive in the Northern Wilderness in less than five days, it seems that my Wanyuan Tongbao has strengthened a lot. Long Er looked quite proud.

"Long'er, we're about to land in the Northern Wilderness, you must have been here before, what do you need to pay attention to tell the two of you?"

Luo Fanchen is still thoughtful, this Northern Wilderness is the first time for the two of them to come, and I heard Murong Lingyi say that the folk customs here are quite strong, if you don't pay attention to the customs here, you may have a conflict with the locals, but this is something they don't want to encounter.

Long Er's eyes lit up, and he said to the two:

"Alas... There's nothing to pay attention to, my brother is the king here, he just needs to cover up something... The only thing is not to say that people are poor, although the people here are really poor, but their self-esteem is very strong..."

Xiao He nodded and said:

"Long'er is right, we will go ashore later, don't point fingers at others..."

Xiao He spoke to Luo Fanchen, but his eyes looked at Long Er, obviously the words just now were specially instructed to Long Er.

Long Er also noticed Xiao He's special care, she pursed her lips and said angrily:

"Xiao He, don't look down on me, although my good wealth dragon girl likes this yellow and white thing, I still have principles..."

Xiao He smiled "hehe" and said mockingly:

"Long'er, your principles are clear to me and mortals, that is, you never suffer..."

It was also interesting for Fan Chen to listen to what Xiao He said, and he couldn't help but hide his mouth and laugh out loud.

Long Er looked at the two of them, stomped his feet, his cheeks bulged out with anger, and simply turned his head away and ignored them.

Seeing this, Luo Fanchen glared at Xiao He and whispered:

"Xiao He, don't tease Miss Long'er, if it weren't for Long'er, how could we get to the Northern Wilderness so quickly?"

Xiao He nodded, walked to Long'er with interest, bowed his hand, and apologized:

"Dragon... Fang Cai Xiao He is rude, you don't remember the villain, don't take it to heart..."

When Long Er saw Xiao He apologize to herself, her anger suddenly disappeared, she turned around and said to the two:

"We're going to go ashore soon, it's not early, let's find an inn to stay..."

Xiao He and Luo Fanchen nodded, and at this time, a round of red sun above the sea surface slowly sank into the water level, reflecting a large area of fiery red, which was very magnificent.

Soon after, the treasure ship touched the shore, trembled a few times, and stopped.

Xiao He and a few people jumped off the boat, and Long Er restored the treasure ship to its original appearance and hung it on his waist.

A few people looked from afar, and in the thin mist, a small fishing village was revealed.

Long Er obviously recognized this fishing village, and she introduced to the two of them:

"In front of it is a fishing village with hundreds of families. The people of the village depend entirely on fishing for their livelihood, and although they are poor, it is also a very peaceful little village..."

"Hundreds of households... There are quite a few people, why don't you grow some grains and do some business?" Luo Fanchen couldn't help but ask.

Long Er shook her head and replied:

"The Northern Wasteland, in ancient times, was an extremely desolate peninsula-shaped continent, the land here was extremely barren and extremely salty, and only the kind of plants that could adapt to the extreme environment could barely survive... The people who can survive here all year round are almost all sent by the imperial court a long time ago, or to escape the war..."

Luo Fanchen nodded, no wonder, this land can't grow food, if there is no food, the population will not grow too fast, and business will naturally not develop.

"It seems that it would be nice if the people here survived... Let's hurry up and find an inn, it's going to get dark soon..."Xiao He answered.

Luo Fanchen and Long Er also agreed very much with Xiao He's words, and the three of them strode towards this small fishing village.

Slowly, as they got closer, they began to see the village for what it really was.

The village is indeed rudimentary, with no perimeter and a long distance between the houses.

The houses are made of coconut palms, which are unique to the area, and it seems as if a gust of wind could completely destroy them.

A few children run and frolic in the central clearing, bringing a rare bit of life to the dead village.

When Long Er saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head:

"When I came here a hundred years ago, it was the same scene, it was really the same..."

Xiao He saw an old man resting on a big rock not far away, his eyes lit up, he ran up, and asked:

"Old man, the three of us have come from a long journey, and I want to ask you if there is a place to rest here?"

This old man was old, and obviously didn't hear what Xiao He said clearly, he frowned and replied:

"What are you talking about? Crab legs are delicious, but don't eat too much, especially if you're pregnant..."

Xiao He was speechless, feeling that this old man's ears were not good, he was about to find another person to ask for directions, but was stopped by Long'er.

"Don't ask, do you look like there's an inn around here? When I came here a hundred years ago, I didn't even have a restaurant... Alas, it's really poor~"

As soon as Long Er said that word, he was covered by Luo Fanchen:

"Long'er, beware of slips of the tongue..."

Long Er suddenly understood, and his eyes widened and nodded.

Luo Fanchen just let go of his hand, but saw the old man glaring angrily, pointing at Long'er and scolding:

"Damn little girl, what did you just say? Say we're poor? Do you think you're amazing? There are so many people in our village, believe it or not, I called them all and killed you, a foreigner, on the spot?"

Xiao He was impressed by the old man's excellent hearing just now, he swallowed his saliva, and persuaded the old man:

"Uh... This uncle, don't get excited, my friend didn't mean to offend you just now, she said that here... That one... By the way, she said that she was here, really... I can't ask for ~..."

When the old man heard Xiao He say this, his face immediately changed, and he said to Xiao He with a smile:

"Oh, is that so? My old man has lived in our village for eighty years, and he has never been out, and I can guarantee that our village is the best and most suitable to live in..."

Xiao He wiped a handful of sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, the three of them had just arrived, and if they were angered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Long Er couldn't help but want to refute it when he heard this old man's nonsense, but he was forced to swallow by Luo Fanchen's fierce eyes.

"Harmony makes money... Harmony makes money..."Long Er stroked his chest, and his mouth kept breaking thoughts to calm his state of mind at this time.

The old man looked at the three of them, nodded slightly, and said:

"There is a dragon king temple at the back of the village, that temple is more than eighty years old, you can live there temporarily..."

Xiao He's eyes lit up, and he bowed to this old man:

"Thank you, old man..."

The three of them thanked the old man and walked straight to the back of the small fishing village.

After crossing the main street and walking all the way to the back of the village, you will be greeted by a very dilapidated temple. The wind passed through the ruined temple effortlessly, and the cobwebs that could be seen everywhere were densely entangled.

"What, we're going to stay here tonight?" Luo Fanchen and Long Er said in unison, unable to hide their disappointed looks.

Xiao He sniffled and smiled reluctantly:

"I think it's good here, that's... The ventilation is still good... Belch... Forget it, I can't make it up, it's really not a good place to stay..."
