Just when Mu Yun was surprised, an old voice came from behind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What for?"
Mu Yun shuddered, who appeared behind him silently, and he didn't even notice it.
He turned his head slowly, and saw that the person talking to him was an old man, carrying a hoe, looking kind and kind, it seemed to be a farmer, but he didn't know what he was going to do with a hoe in this snowy weather, presumably this person should be what Gongshanke said, the kind of NPC that has not yet self-awareness, no matter whether the system is set reasonably or not, even if it is a snowy day, this NPC still maintains the appearance of spring farming.
So Mu Yun settled down and stammered, "This ...... There are so many dead people here. ”
The old man smiled, "What's strange about this, this is a mass grave, and people in the mountains have no place to buy coffins, so people will naturally be piled up here when they die." ”
"That'...... The female corpse under the mountain ......"
The old man laughed: "That's not strange, the hillside is steep, and it is common for corpses to roll down the mountain stream." ”
"That'...... This one...... Why are they all dried corpses? ”
"Don't do this, that, there are no coffins in the mountains, there are no cemeteries, our customs, people are harvested by the sky when they die, and they are dried by adults, so they will not rot, the sun is strong here, and they will not become wild ghosts wandering around, it is really a foreigner, rare and strange." The old man looked at Mu Yun with contemptuous eyes.
Seeing the old man's expression, Mu Yun felt very uncomfortable, he actually became a guy who didn't understand anything in the eyes of NPCs, he stood up with a bone, "What's the big deal, mummy, it's not like I haven't seen it." ”
"Mummy?" Old Hanqi said: "Where is your hometown?" ”
"Huh?" Mu Yun opened his mouth wide and thought for a while, he couldn't say that he was a person from the real world, anyway, the world map was so big, even if he said a place, this old man might not know, so he said blindly: "We're far from here, our name is Egypt, have you heard of an Egyptian pharaoh?" ”
He thought that this old man was a character who was fixed here, and he hadn't even gone out of Hungry Tiger Mountain, so how could he know what Egypt was? Sure enough, the old man shook his head blankly.
Mu Yun said proudly: "You don't know, there is nothing unusual about the Egyptian pharaoh, that is, after death, hollow out the intestines, put some medicine, and then it will not rot for a thousand years." It's the same as all of you, no need to make a fuss. ”
The old man grinned when he heard it, and he didn't know what this kid was talking about. But in reality, there is an Internet word called: I don't know how to feel it, but the old man still gave a thumbs up again and again, "That's amazing, amazing, amazing." ”
Mu Yun laughed secretly in his heart, the old man didn't know that Mu Yun was talking nonsense, and said with a smile: "Then what are you Egyptians doing in our poor country?" ”
Mu Yun was about to inquire about the situation in Shangcun, thinking that the master always said that it was easy to do things with money, so he took out two copper coins from his pocket and said, "What can you do?" Isn't there a little money on it, have you ever seen it? ”
"The old man lived for more than eighty years, and the copper coins were naturally seen, and I also left some when I was young, which seemed to be exchangeable, but then again, Hungry Tiger Mountain was isolated from the world, and these copper coins were of little use to me, but recently it has been freezing cold, and I want to get some money to exchange for some leather goods." Old man said.
"That's good, the most important thing we don't lack in Egypt is copper money, there is a desert everywhere, and the bottom of the desert is full of money, what gold, silver, everywhere, but the desert is the only one that can't grow food, I heard that there is a lot of food in Hungry Tiger Mountain, so I want to exchange some money for some food to bring back." I went to the lower village just now, and I don't have much grain in stock, and I heard that you still have an upper village here, so I don't know what the situation is. ”
The old man nodded, "I'm from the village, if you want to talk about food, there are some in each family, I don't know how much you want?" ”
Mu Yun was overjoyed, it turned out that the upper village was inhabited, but why did he set up a sign prohibiting going up the mountain at the bottom of the mountain?
"Now, I have a little silver, you wrap me with four hundred catties of rice. What do you think? ”
The old man frowned, "Rice may be your Egyptian crop, I only have sorghum and glutinous rice in Hungry Tiger Mountain." ”
"It's fine, but sorghum and glutinous rice have to be cheaper...... In this way, you will have a thousand catties of sorghum and a thousand catties of glutinous rice. ”
He was afraid that the old man would not take him up the mountain, so he deliberately said that the number was too much.
Unexpectedly, the old man was very happy, "Then it's decided." Come up the hill with me. ”
Mu Yun was stunned for a moment, this old man didn't ask me if I could take it, so he agreed.
Anyway, just to complete the task, with this old man leading the way, it is better than walking blindly in the mountains.
Mu Yun didn't eat the cake anymore, and followed the old man to the mountain. Maybe he is used to walking the mountain road, the old man is over eighty years old, but he walks like the wind, although Mu Yun is young and strong, he is slipping step by step, and he is always some distance from the old man.
After walking for more than 30 minutes, the two of them finally reached the top of the mountain.
On the top of the hill, there is a small village like the lower village, but it is closed, there are no pedestrians, not even a dog or a chicken.
Mu Yun was secretly surprised and asked, "It's strange, why doesn't there seem to be anyone in this village." ”
The old man said with a smile: "Who said that our customs here are different, now it is noon, and only in the evening will the village go to work in the fields." ”
"It's a strange custom, so why did you go out at noon?" Mu Yun asked.
The old man smiled, "My hoe fell into a mountain stream, so naturally I have to go down to pick it up." Why do you Egyptians have so many stupid questions? ”
Mu Yun was speechless when he said one sentence, but after thinking about it, he was talking about the Egyptians, not me.
"The customs are different, the customs are different."
The uninhabited village is somewhat desolate, there are only a dozen households, the village gates are basically next to each other, there are four rows of thatched houses, the old man's house is in the middle of the back row, and the curling smoke rises from his house. Mu Yun couldn't help but think: Why didn't you find the smoke here when you were down the mountain just now?
The old man pushed the door into the room, asked Mu Yun to sit at the table, and then said, "Wait a minute, the old wife may make stewed mutton." I'll take a look. ”
"Oh, there you go." Mu Yun nodded.
The old man turned around and entered, Mu Yun looked around at this room, the grass house is not big, and the windows and doors are closed, the ventilation does not seem to be very good, the air is mixed with the damp smell of soil, a spider web hangs obliquely on the corner of the wall, except for the place where he sits, I don't know how many days the other places have not been cleaned, and they are all dirt.
There were no other daily necessities at home, a moldy quilt and a rusty iron cabinet were placed on the kang, the bench on which he sat was still missing a leg, and the table was spotless, except that there were faint red marks on it, and it looked a little greasy. Mu Yun frowned secretly, "Is this where people live?" (To be continued.) )
