Chapter 1069: The People's Life

Xuyang had already marked the towns and villages he would encounter along the way on the map, and he had shown it to Sheng Ze before.

Shen Qingqian grabbed the reins of the horse and moved his stiff neck, "Okay, then let's go over quickly." ”

At this time, it was already dark, and the moonlight was very weak, but for Sheng Ze and Shen Qingqian, they could still see the road.

The two of them continued on their way, and it was more than half an hour before they reached the small village.

The weather in Chenzhou has been slightly effective in the past few days because of the placement of the divine spring, and even this remote village has been benefited.

The cold and dry sky suddenly became wet, and the ice in the soil was slowly melting, and a little water could be pumped out of the ground.

When Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze arrived, they saw that the village was brightly lit, and everyone was crowded around the well at the head of the village, which was actually digging a well.

The two looked at each other, turned over and dismounted, and led the horse towards them slowly.

"Who are you?" Someone spotted them and immediately stepped forward and asked vigilantly.

Shen Qingqian smiled and stepped forward, and said to the woman in front of him: "Auntie, we are passing by here, we want to spend one night in the village, and we will not let the villagers suffer, we are willing to pay twice the price of the inn in the city, do you think it is convenient in the village?" ”

As soon as she heard that she was here to spend the night, and she was willing to give money, the eldest lady immediately became enthusiastic, "Ouch, what's inconvenient about that?" I have an empty house in my house, and you can come with me. ”

It's hard to make money these days, and the two in front of her have identities at a glance, and there must be no shortage of silver, so she has to hurry to her own house, so as not to be robbed of business by others.

In fact, few peasant households will have extra rooms, leading Shen Qingqian, their eldest lady is surnamed Chen, and the village is called Chen Auntie, her family only married her daughter last month, so a room was vacated.

Shen Qingqian asked as he walked, "Auntie, can you borrow your livestock shed to tie the horse?" You can rest assured, we give silver. ”

"That has to work! My tiger baby just went to the mountains today to cut grass for the cows, just to feed you horses, you can watch the silver. Aunt Chen thought that she would soon have a sum of money, and she was so excited that she almost danced.

Hearing that there was forage, Shen Qingqian was a little surprised, "Auntie, I see that you seem to be digging a well just now, can you get water?" ”

"Yes!" Mrs. Chen said excitedly, "It didn't work before, but a few days ago we found out that the well in the village began to produce water, and everyone was afraid that there would be a shortage of water in the future, so we discussed to make the well deeper." ”

They've been working for the day today, and they're about to call it a day.

Sheng Ze also spoke at this time, "Is there still rations in the village?" ”

Aunt Chen glanced at Sheng Ze, thinking that this young man was strangely good-looking, but opened her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, Auntie has food at home, and she won't starve you, but ......"

Shen Qingqian immediately intervened, "I understand, I understand, we will give the silver, auntie, you can rest assured." ”

As she spoke, she took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve pocket and handed it over, "You take it first, and I'll make up for it if it's not enough." ”

Copper plate is the common currency of the people at the bottom of the world, and silver generally rarely appears.

Aunt Chen's eyes lit up when she saw the silver, and she hurriedly took it, "Enough is enough, this is my house, two guests, please come in." ”

Shen Qingqian raised his eyes and saw a neat but somewhat dilapidated small courtyard.

It can be seen that the host takes care of the house very decently.

Aunt Chen shouted when she entered the courtyard, "Old man, tiger baby, come out to greet guests!" ”
