Chapter 241: Small Towns

As soon as he passed through the light curtain, Liang Yun first entered a new different world, followed by more than a dozen temporary crossing teams including American GIs, and the captain was naturally Liang Yun.

A dozen GIs quickly found their position, and a dozen guns were pointed in all directions, defending against possible attacks from any direction.

As far as the eye can see, it is empty, with a grassy plain at its feet, and not far away surrounded by mountains and trees, and a few streams in between.

At best, it is lush vegetation, at worst, it is desolate and uninhabited.

So Liang Yun rose into the air first, circled around, and soon found traces of people in a certain direction.

Then he led the soldiers in that direction.

About half an hour later, the people who had climbed a small hill finally saw the scenery that Liang Yun had seen before.

A few plots of land that look like they are being cultivated, and a few farmers are busy in the fields.

Hunched over and pulling rudimentary ploughs, they turned up the land to cultivate crops.

The man is pulling the plow, and the woman is holding the plow, which is completely a picture of a man as an animal and a woman as a man.

Farther afield, not far from the farmland, there are a few simple thatched huts, apparently the homes of the farmers.

In the distance, there are such simple thatched huts scattered around, and farmers are busy in the fields.

As far as the eye can see, only at the end of the line of sight is there a slightly more decent building.

It is a building that resembles a castle in ancient Europe.

Stone walls and tall towers make up a castle.

It's just that the castle occupies about the size of a larger skyscraper on Earth at most, and stands alone, with a small town around it on its periphery.

One house after another stretches out in all directions, and there can be hundreds or thousands of houses, which is already the limit.

Most of these houses are thatched, and few brick and stone houses are seen, and even if there are, only a few houses near the castle.

And this is the outskirts of the town, which is made up of hundreds or thousands of houses. There are no decent walls, only a low earthen wall, which belongs to the kind that can be jumped over at the first jump.

It can be said that the only fortress in this town is the castle.

Looking at the town that appeared in front of him, which was obviously still at the level of the Middle Ages, Liang Yun and the soldiers glanced at each other, and then walked down the hill and forward.

Soon they were on a dirt road that was completely trodden on by human feet.

A group of more than a dozen people approached the town with long guns and short cannons secretly on guard, but in the eyes of the farmers in the fields next to them, there were just a dozen passers-by dressed a little strangely, each holding a short stick in their hands and hurrying cautiously.

There is still some distance from the town, and Liang Yun is on the move. The body disappeared in an instant. A gust of wind appeared beside a farmer on the side of the road.

Before the farmer could scream. Liang Yun shot and stunned him.

In the vast and sparsely populated farmland, every farmer was toiling hard, and no one noticed what was happening here.

So Liang Yun took out the magic props and copied the language from the mixed farmer's mind. He woke up the farmer with a bottle of water, dropped a few compressed biscuits beside him, and dodged back into the group.

The farmer who woke up naturally screamed immediately, attracting the attention of the surroundings.

But after everyone saw that he was just screaming like crazy, they were not interested in continuing to watch, but continued to work with their heads down.

The farmer noticed that the person who had suddenly appeared in front of him had disappeared again, so he did not cry out in confusion, but was curious about the extra few compressed biscuits on his body.

The tin foil used to compress the outer packaging of the biscuits is really a good thing that the farmer has never seen before. So the farmer immediately looked around left and right, and when no one was paying attention, he hid the compressed biscuits.

At this time, Liang Yun had already used magic props to copy the language he had just copied to the soldiers one by one.

Speaking of which, it's for this magic item. The American side also paid in advance.

In this way, more than a dozen people who had learned the language of this world at once continued on their way, and soon reached the earthen wall on the outskirts of the town.

There was an entrance to the earthen wall, where several soldiers with rudimentary weapons and a bearded man in full-body armor sat and stared at everyone who wanted to enter the earthen wall.

In front of Liang Yun and the others, there was a small caravan composed of more than a dozen people and two carriages.

The leader of the caravan stood beside the bearded man and nodded and smiled, and handed over a small pocket, which was obviously filled with the money of this world.

Liang Yun and the others were not far from the caravan, and they could also hear the conversation between the leader of the small caravan and the bearded man in armor, obviously the small bag of money was the tax paid by the small caravan.

To put it bluntly, the toll collected by the lord of this place is just in the name of a tax.

Liang Yun and Han Tao, Guo Shouli and Michelle around him looked at each other, because they didn't have any money in this world at all, what if they were to collect taxes for a while?

So more than a dozen GIs secretly grasped the rifles in their hands and prepared for battle.

The small caravan was followed by a few travelers, who also entered the town after paying the money, although the money paid was much less than that of the caravan, but there were no exceptions.

Soon it was Liang Yun and the others' turn.

However, just when Liang Yun and the others were ready to break out at any time, what happened after that was a little unexpected, the soldiers guarding the door did not stop them to collect fees, but directly let them go.

Liang Yun and the others entered the town in a daze.

Apparently they are not yet clear about some kind of rules of this world.

There are also rules for the soldiers guarding the gate to collect money, and for those who are timid and afraid, they naturally accept it correctly. But for those who are fierce on the outside and know that they dare to resist at a glance, they will naturally turn a blind eye.

Obviously, Liang Yun and more than a dozen other people knew that they were ready to resist as soon as they saw the action.

The soldiers, who are already old oilers, naturally know what to do.

All the way into the town, Liang Yun more than a dozen people wandered around the small town.

Secretly, several small cameras have been pointed at all aspects of the town, recording everything.

But this kind of medieval-like town is really not a good place to stay.

In this small town inhabited by human beings, not only does there be no water supply, but there is not even a toilet.

The streets are full of excrement and urine, and all kinds of sewage are everywhere.

As the GIs walked by, they stepped on the dung of animals that they didn't know if it was a human or some kind of animal on their feet.

The population of the town was only a few thousand at best, and the people lived on their own farms, and there were no shops on the streets, only a blacksmith's shop, a grocery store, and a tavern.

However, the blacksmith shop is also lifeless, and I don't know how long it has been since there has been a fire.

There is nothing in the grocery store except for some salt and simple linen.

As for the tavern, there was no one at this time, only the owner sat alone outside the tavern gate in a daze.

However, with the entry of the small caravan walking in front of Liang Yun into the city, the originally quiet street was a little bustling.

The caravan displayed goods brought from the outside world, and the beautiful floral cloth lit up the eyes of all the women.

There are also some preserved fruits and sweet candies, which make the children's mouths flood with a lot of saliva.

As for the various iron farm tools displayed by the caravan, they made the eyes of the men in charge straighten.

However, there are very few people who can afford to buy it.

Whether it is flower cloth, sugar syrup, or iron farm tools, it is not something that ordinary people in small towns like this can consume.

So after the caravan was peddling around, very few were actually sold.

However, the leader of this small caravan was not discouraged, because this was not his destination in the first place, and the commercial capital a few days away was his goal, and it was only a short stay here.

So the little caravan, after a circle of goods that had been sold but never cared, put away the goods, set up a tent in a clearing in the middle of the town, and prepared to spend the night here, and then continue to set out early tomorrow morning.

It was at this time that Liang Yun took more than a dozen soldiers and found the leader of this small caravan, a young man with the same small grade.

"Hello." Liang Yun greeted him.

And the other party also politely replied "hello"

"You can call me Liang Yun, it's nice to meet you, I don't know what to call it." Liang Yun introduced himself.

"My name is Michiri." The leader of the caravan named Mikiri replied despite Liang Yun's words.

After all, whether it is judging from Liang Yun's clothes or the dozen or so people following him, Liang Yun is not an ordinary person.

Although Liang Yun is wearing a simple casual dress, such a dress is really amazing in this medieval era.

"Actually, I want to do business with you, okay?" Liang Yun asked.

"Business? Don't know what business it is? As soon as Michiri heard about the business, he immediately became interested.

"That's right, I have something here, I don't know if you can buy it." Liang Yun said and took out a small package of chocolate from his body.

This is the chocolate distributed by the U.S. military to the troops to replenish calories, and Liang Yun also got a lot.

"What is this?" Michiri took the tin foil-wrapped chocolate and asked curiously.

"It's called chocolate, it's a candy." Liang Yun replied.
