Chapter 67: The Valley of Morning Dew
Three days later, in the east. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
In the early morning, several horse-drawn carriages slowly drove in and out of the dense forest, and the villagers, seeing the carriages in the distance, pushed the door open and went out to meet them along the path soaked in the morning dew. Three or two thatched huts were arranged in an extremely scattered manner, and the air was filled with the faint smell of rice porridge.
This small village, known as Morning Dew Valley, is just one of many villages in the Eastern Kingdom, and it is close to a mountain pass, and a spring flows from the top of the mountain to the village. Hence the name of the village.
According to the village chief, there are less than 30 people in their village, and they live a self-sufficient life all year round. After Prince Dima unified the east, he sent his knights deep into the jungle all year round to conduct trials. Although his main purpose is to train a group of dead soldiers, the villagers are no longer infested with monsters.
Lin Qiu observed this simple village from the carriage, and his mood was extremely peaceful. The material conditions here were far worse than those in the imperial capital, and the people wore plain linen robes, most of which were patched and looked dirty. Even the women were covered in soot and could not see their original appearance.
As soon as the village chief got off the bus, the villagers expressed their deep condolences to him, and the village chief also distributed the goods he had transported from the imperial capital to the villagers with a smile on his face. At that time, the scene was in an uproar, so much so that Lin Qiu and the others chose to avoid it. Another major attraction of the Morning Dew Valley is the natural hot springs in the mountains, and every once in a while, many knights come from the royal capital to enjoy the nourishment of the hot springs.
It is rumored that the water source at the top of the mountain was once blessed by the gods, and if you soak it for a while, you can wash away the fatigue of the day.
Lin Qiu had originally scoffed at such legends, but when he thought of the church's holy pool, he treated these folklore with an open mind. After all, no one knows where the holy lady of Herutia has traveled, and there is no guarantee that she blessed some natural scenery on a whim.
In order to test whether the legend really existed, Lin Qiu was the first to hold the wooden basin and charged towards the hot spring.
What separates men and women from hot springs is a handmade wooden plank that looks crumbling after a long time. From time to time, there was the chatting of Ophelia and the others at the other end, and Lin Qiu hesitated for a while before he didn't cause an accident where he accidentally knocked over the wooden board due to the slippery floor.
This is mainly because he estimated the strength of the other party's hot spring personnel, and then found that this accident is likely to turn into a plot where he was accidentally killed by his companion due to the slippery floor.
The curling mist filled the surroundings of the hot springs, and only a small team of them came to the huge hot springs, and Lin Qiu directly enjoyed the warmth of the entire man.
This may also be because the rustic villagers think that normal people don't go to the hot springs early in the morning.
"Ah...... It felt like my whole body was about to melt!" After a while, a familiar voice came from Lin Qiu's side.
"yes, there really seems to be something unusual about this hot spring......"
After Lin Qiu sighed, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because it was a female voice who sighed, and this female voice appeared in the male hot spring. Lin Qiu vigilantly followed the prestige and found an orange-red chick floating on the water, slowly floating towards him.
"Phoenix, you're on the wrong hot springs. Lin Qiu reminded the other party.
"Huh?" Phoenix snorted lazily, "I was afraid that you would be alone, so I came here to accompany you...... No, I can't get up now. ”
"It's supposed to be because your wings are wet with water. Lin Qiu calmly pointed out the reason.
At the same time, the voices of several men came from the porch:
"Hey, did we go by the wrong way? I remember this is a men's hot spring?"
"But I heard the woman's voice. ”
"Could it be that those villagers have recently rectified the hot springs?"
"Why don't we go over there?"
Lin Qiu quickly squeezed Phoenix floating on the water in his hand and pressed her mouth. Although Phoenix is currently unable to transform into a human, her voice is still fatal to men with strong qi and blood, especially after soaking in the hot springs, her tone has a little laziness, which instantly increases the killing of men by three times.
If it is seen by these tourists, it is estimated that some bold ideas will be generated.
"Shhhhhhhh ”
If these people pushed open another door, it is estimated that the quiet and peaceful Morning Dew Valley will add three innocent lives.
"Oh, thank you, boy!" the strong man at the head thanked him, and then walked in with a few people talking and laughing: "Look, I just said that you heard it wrong, right?"
These people seemed to be talkative, and they spoke to Lin Qiu very familiarly: "You are not from the village, are you? The villagers of Morning Dew Valley rarely come to the hot springs in the morning, so we specially found a time when there are few people to come here...... But I really miss the hot springs in Morning Dew Valley, and this feeling is like the whole person is about to melt......"
As they spoke, they dipped themselves in water.
"Oh, I've only recently come to the East. ”
"Merchants?" the man asked with interest.
"Why do you ask that?" Lin Qiu was a little curious.
Lin Qiu's question directly opened the conversation box for the man: "In our place, only caravans are willing to come, right?" Speaking of which, there have been fewer and fewer tourists here in the past few years, and the entire kingdom has become deserted. So, little brother, what kind of business do you have? Let me guess...... Commodities, or clothing business, but with all due respect, running a clothing business in the east is a loss of money. ”
This man talks a lot!
"Head business. Before Lin Qiu could answer, a cool female voice sounded from behind Lin Qiu, and Phoenix broke free of Lin Qiu's hands at some point, and said with a vengeance.
For a while, the atmosphere in the warmth dropped to freezing, and several people stared at Lin Qiu with stunned eyes.
What nonsense are you talking about!
Lin Qiu pressed Phoenix into the water, and Phoenix was caught off guard and choked on several mouthfuls of water. The splash of water deepened the suspicion of several people about Lin Qiu. The talkative man also lowered his face and asked solemnly, "What does the head business mean?" Several of us are guards of the royal capital, and we will never allow any suspicious people to infiltrate the royal capital!"
"People...... Of course, the head business refers to ......" Lin Qiu is hesitant.
"Huh?" Seeing this, several people immediately straightened their faces, and they snorted viciously, faintly with a tendency to surround them.
"Now that you've found out, there's nothing you can do. ”
Lin Qiu sighed, and then his tone changed: "It's not a secret, I'm actually a haircut seeker who travels around the continent, and I came to the eastern countries to collect materials in order to pursue the latest trendy hairstyles!"
