"How many are there?" Steve wonders how many people Ferding can bring back this time? The information revealed in David's words seems to be a lot of people: "If there are a lot of people, do you want to start building a few wooden houses in advance?" ”

David wanted to wait until Van Cleef gave a clear answer before considering the matter. Now that I think about it, maybe it would not be impossible to build a few wooden houses that resemble dormitories in advance, even if Van Cleef finally rejected David's invitation, and the craftsmen of the Masons' Guild did not come to Winter Village, but there would be others in the village in the future, and additional accommodation would be needed.

"How about building right behind the cafeteria? Build two big houses first. "Behind the cafeteria, to the north, are the farmer's houses, one after the other, stretching to the north.

However, the canteen itself occupies a relatively large area, and even if there are houses of these farmers, there is still enough space to build two large wooden houses.

"Did you just change the cafeteria into a hotel?"

"Isn't that good?"

David didn't ignore Leonard when he talked to Steve, and introduced him to the environment of the village, such as the cafeteria, blacksmith shop, public water intake area, and so on.

"Is this tap water?" Leonard initially thought it was a very 'ancient' village, but he didn't walk a few steps to see the faucet, there were similar water facilities or 'taps' in ancient times, but it definitely not like this, it was obviously a modern craft product.

"It's barely tap water." David explains: "After the water is pumped from the Winter River, filtered and purified, it is transported to the water storage equipment here, and the people of the village can get water directly here. ”

"With pumps and water purification equipment? What about motivation? Leonard was curious about this: "Did you use some magical power?" ”

"Solar and wind power." David smiled and pointed to the distance, the wind power plant was actually quite conspicuous: "In addition to there, there is also a diesel generator in the village. ”

The generator was hidden on the 'side' of Laura's house, and there was nothing special about it from the outside, and the 'wooden door' had to be opened to see the generator, so Leonard hadn't noticed it before.

"So...... There are generators in this world? Leonard looked around, he thought he had guessed wrong, in fact, the level of civilization in this world is not low, but the village is remote and sparsely populated.

"These machines were specially sent by a friend, and she is from the same earth as you." David made a point of emphasising: "She thinks I'm in a good place and wants to make it another home. ”

"Oh!" Leonard nodded, "It's really beautiful here. ”

With beautiful natural scenery and fresh air, forests, mountains, rivers, and grasslands, he felt that his asthma was cured. If he could, he would also like to make a home here and come over for a holiday in his free time.

"Do you have any conditions if you want to settle here?" Leonard didn't ignore that David's 'friend' had bought a lot of machinery and equipment for the village chief: "For example, do you need to make some investment or something?" ”

"It's not that much trouble, you can stay as long as you want." By the way, David told Leonard about the situation of Lower Winter Village, including the Pioneer Order of the Kingdom of Tiran, and the fact that Winter Village evolved from a pioneer camp to a village, and was only officially established for less than a year: "Winter Village currently welcomes everyone who wants to come and live. ”

There are no check-in or immigration restrictions, you can come as long as you want.

"So good?" Leonard smiled, "As long as I want, I can automatically get the residency qualification of Winter Village?" Then I can become a villager in Winter Village now? ”

"Yes!"

"Cool!" Leonard thinks that this treatment is good, and it makes people wonder if it is a scam? But when I think about it, I don't seem to have anything to deceive. People from the other world wouldn't covet the rocket fuel he studied, right? These people don't seem to need it.

Following David on, he didn't have to walk a few steps to the farmland, Leonard noticed the man who was observing back and forth in the field, and the appearance of this person made him stunned again, just for a moment, he looked at the man opposite.

"How's it going, Mark?"

"It's all okay, as long as the temperature doesn't plummet suddenly in the last half month, this batch of crops can be harvested smoothly." Mark glanced at Leonard: "Rookie? ”

"Yes, this is Leonard Hofstad."

"Mark Watney, just call me Mark." Walking out of the farmland, Mark took off his gloves and shook Leonard's hand, as for the strange expression on the other party's face, he pretended that he didn't see it: "Welcome to Winter Village." ”

Leonard couldn't help but feel strange, because there was another familiar face in front of him, and this magical phenomenon had already made him believe that he had really reached the other world, but seeing two familiar faces in a row made him wonder again if he had been rectified? This can't be the recording site of a variety show, right?

"Leonard, nice to meet you, Mark." Leonard is struggling with whether he should question it? In the next second, I saw Jenny Turtle following Mark: "Pokémon? Oh buy Karma, this is Jenny Turtle? ”

Leonard's exaggerated reaction startled Jenny Turtle, and if it weren't for a bunch of acquaintances standing nearby, Jenny Turtle would have opened his mouth to spray Leonard in the face.

"Calm down, Leonard, this is indeed Jenny Turtle, who has come from another world just like you."

David's explanation didn't calm Leonard, and the California Polytechnic physicist was so excited that he took out the sprayer he was carrying, took two sips, and then replied to David in a tight voice: "I didn't say before that there are Jenny turtles from the Pokémon world here." ”

"Relax, follow me, inhale ~ exhale ~ " Steve stood next to him, watching Leonard's overly excited reaction, and immediately asked him to take a deep breath to relax.

Mark watched Leonard's reaction, immediately understood the key, and turned his head to look at David: "You didn't explain the situation here to him?" ”

"I'm explaining." David pointed at Mark, "By the way, I'll introduce you to him." ”

"Then you didn't introduce him to Steve?"

"What? I? I don't need to be introduced, right? Leonard knows my full name. Steve clearly hasn't figured out what's going on yet: "I don't think David knew my full name until today." ”

"Wait." Although Leonard was in a state of excitement, he did not miss the conversation of several people around him, and his clever brain immediately made him realize that his previous guess seemed to be the truth: "You mean, you are really Steven Grant Rogers?" That is, Captain America? ”

"Look, I'll just say he knows me."

Mark: "......"

David: "......"

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Mark didn't know that Captain America had such a natural side: "I think you might have gotten something wrong." ”

Regardless of Steve's question marks, Mark and Leonard explained the situation a little: "David may not have had time to explain to you before that we are all from different worlds, even if we are all from Earth, we are not from the same Earth. ”

"Parallel world theory?"

"Yes." Mark saw that Leonard was starting to figure out the situation, and introduced himself in more detail: "Mark Watney, a botanist, was trapped on the Mars base because of the Mars exploration program, and then came to Winter Village, and is now a farmer in the village, while farming in the village, while waiting for rescue on Mars. ”

"Mars exploration program? Mars base? Leonard looked at Mark Watney in front of him, and he gradually understood what was going on: "Dr. Leonard Hofstad, an experimental physicist at Caltech...... Are you really on Mars? Can I go check it out? ”

"It's a pity, it doesn't seem to be possible at the moment." Mark glanced at David, his eyes full of inquiry, "Not yet, right?" ”

"I can't." David hadn't figured out how to get to these people's worlds yet, but he wanted to go to Mars to see it.

Looking at Mark and David, Leonard didn't understand why he had to ask, but he still understood the phrase 'can't go to Mars', and was a little disappointed.

But it doesn't matter, there are many surprises today, such as Captain America next to him.

"So, are you really Captain Steve Rodgers?"

Turning his head to look at Captain America again, Leonard's look at his idol made Steve feel very familiar, as if he had returned to the time when he was in the army seventy years ago.

"I'm Steve Rogers, and I'm Captain America."

"Wow!"

Leonard wanted to reach out and shake Rogers' hand a few more times, but as soon as he raised his hand, he immediately withdrew it, rubbing it on his shirt a few times before reaching over. Steve didn't dislike it in the slightest, still maintaining a friendly smile, and shook Leonard's hand again.

"Wow, I shook hands with Captain America." Leonard thought of the Jenny turtle next to him again, but the Jenny turtle seemed to be avoiding him a little, so he had to give up unwillingly, and turned to look at David next to him: "Who else is there in the village?" ”

He is now full of anticipation, and he is eager to know what other familiar people he can meet in this magical village.

"Laura." Before David could speak, Mark, who knew what Leonard wanted to know, had already uttered a name: "Laura Crawford." ”

"Really?"

"Really, the equipment I just told you about was sent by Laura." David nodded at Leonard, whose eyes were shining, "She's in the village now, but she's resting, maybe you'll be able to see her in a while." ”

"It's incredible!" Leonard laughed like an eight-year-old child who had fallen into a pile of toys: "Who else? ”

"Tirio Fortin ......"

"Walter?"
