"Little junior brother, don't worry about Jianmu first, you can see it sooner or later, this Wutun City is a big city in the entire Taihua Secret Realm, there are many people coming and going, it is a rare and lively place, it is better to go around. ”

Looking at Chen Cuo's pensive look, Chuiyunzi spoke.

Chen Cuo put aside his thoughts for a while, and asked with a smile: "Listen to Senior Brother, there are many such cities in the secret realm world?"

"Originally, there were ten, but three of them have been abandoned due to their sparse population. ”

Chuiyunzi nodded, and took the initiative to introduce: "At the earliest, it was because of the frequent wars in the outside world, and the fact that there were evil monks who sacrificed to the mundane with the blood of the evil law, and the ancestors of the sect felt that the world was in trouble, so they attracted a large number of mundane people into the secret realm, and set aside ten places to store grain, because of the population gathering, it gradually developed into ten cities, but then the secret realm was closed, and the population became scarcer and smaller, and now the entire secret realm is combined, there may not be 200,000 people, so there is a trend of decline in various cities......"

Speaking of this, he pointed around, changed his words, and said: "You don't see that Wutun City is sparsely populated, but in the secret realm, it is already a lively place, and the other six are not as good." ”

Chen Cuo listened, but he was not surprised, although the Taihua Secret Realm is vast, but since it is isolated from the world, the population must not be comparable to the outside, since the population is insufficient, all kinds of problems will inevitably follow, the most direct manifestation is naturally the land is barren and the city is in ruins.

As he was talking, his face suddenly changed.

The poor haired man and Xi Ran on the side are also average.

Then Xi Ran stuck out his tongue and said to Chen: "Little junior brother, you can go shopping by yourself, the old man called us, saying that we have been leading the way for too long, I'm afraid we can't delay, you remember to help me bring some fruits from the fragrant orchard back." ”

Chuiyunzi smiled bitterly: "Let's go first, if there is a situation, please inform us at any time." ”

"Little junior brother, what can happen in the secret realm? instead, you have to control yourself, don't mess with the order of the mortal world. After the poor hairman finished speaking, he patted his head, "I'm a bit straight to speak, junior brother, you have to take care of it." ”

Chen Cuo smiled and said: "The more simple the structure, the more difficult it is to withstand the destruction of external forces, Senior Brother is right to remind you." ”

"Alright, then you can visit here, I'll go first. Poor Hair grinned and left with the other two.

Bidding farewell to the three of them, Chen Cuo walked for a while and observed secretly.

Wutun City is said to be a lively place, but it is not much different from the villages and towns outside Jiankang City, the so-called downtown is also like the vegetable market on Jiankang Outer Street.

There are scattered vendors selling melons, fruits and simple handicrafts, while buyers carry bamboo baskets containing bags of rice and noodles.

"Bartering, mostly using the staple food rice and noodles as a basis, I don't see anything like currency. Retracting his gaze, Chen Cuo looked into the distance again, it was a shed, and there were tables under it, and many people were sitting in it, some eating, some drinking tea, and some chatting casually.

After a moment of silence, Chen Cao walked over.

"When the hanging peak fell before, Senior Brother Chuiyunzi mentioned that every family in the secret realm is a man and a woman weaving, and few people leave their hometowns, but from the perspective of Wutun City, at least the commodity economy has developed, and there are also some businessmen who go south and north, which is a little different from his statement......"

Thinking about it, he had already walked into a shed, sat down, looked around, and saw that there were several tables of people drinking tea, which should be a tea shop.

However, he sat here, and no one greeted him, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a weathered face came over.

He didn't greet Chen Cuo, but said straightly: "The fifteen pots of tea in the shop today have all been replaced, you can only wait for tomorrow." ”

"It's okay," Chen Cuo smiled, "Since there is no tea, let's sit down and rest for a while." ”

When the man saw this, he didn't say much, but turned around and went to work.

Chen Cuo looked at him and saw that he was mainly busy cleaning up his things, and the teapots, teacups, and small things on the table were all carefully put into the basket by him.

There were also layers of linen cloth in the box, and every time a few were placed, they were covered with cloth.

When he was done, he turned his head and saw that Chen Cuo was still sitting there, so he walked over again, and said with some vigilance: "These tables and chairs are all good people of the Yun family, don't worry about it." ”

Chen Cuo smiled and said: "I just have a mind, you look at my body, how to carry it?" He still looked like a teenager, and in order not to attract attention, he turned ordinary clothes, which really dispelled the man's vigilance.

"Then sit down. As he spoke, the man wiped his sweat.

Chen Cuo said: "I see that you are also busy, so it is better to sit down and rest." In the middle of the words, a little thought came out.

The man hesitated, glanced at the sky, and finally sat down.

Chen Cuo said, "How is today's harvest?"

"It's okay, but I'll have to prepare three more pots tomorrow, which will be a bit troublesome, so I'll have to go back a little earlier and make some preparations. The man was not wary, but when he heard the inquiry, he answered.

The two of them had a sentence, chatting about each sentence, and when they were almost done, Chen Cuo suddenly asked: "Is this tea planted by Brother Huang, yourself?" I saw a lot of people, all of them planted rice and wheat. ”

The man glanced at Chen Cuo suspiciously, and said: "What you are asking is strange, there are many children in the family, and you can't farm to support you, of course you have to think of changing some food to go back, as for the tea tree, it is definitely not my own, if you plant a tea tree, how to grow food?"

"Yes, a newcomer. Chen Cuo replied simply, then skipped the topic and asked, "Since it is not your own tea tree, who planted it?"

The man said, "The Yun family in this city, although it is his family's tea garden, but the one who planted the tree is not his family, and the one who dried and selected it is not theirs, there are other people." ”

Chen Cuo suddenly became interested, so he asked in detail.

"The tree is planted by a family, this family specializes in planting trees, and when the tea is transported to the city, it is directly sent to another household to dry and pick, and then my family will pull it over and put it here to exchange for rice and noodles. ”

"Huh?" Chen Cuo listened and felt that something was wrong, "Listen, the Yun family didn't participate in the slightest, so what did their family get in the end?"

"How else to say that the Yun family is a great good person! We can change the rice and noodles every day, and give half to their families, and I will wait for a few families to divide them equally, but we can barely support the family's rations, if not, we may have starved to death, and being able to get the help of the Yun family is really a blessing from the previous life......"

As he spoke, the man's face was full of embarrassment.

Chen Cuo had a strange face and asked, "When did the Yun family start to be so kind?"

"From his grandfather's generation!" the man looked reminiscing, "His grandfather, Yun Lao Weng, is an outsider, who strayed into the fairyland, and has since escaped from the sea of suffering. ”

When Chen Cuo heard this, he was a little clear.

The man sighed again: "I heard that the old man of the Yun family said that there is chaos outside this fairy, there are a bunch of countries, fighting around, people die every day, miserable! I heard that the old man Yun died a lot of babies outside......

"How did he settle down after he came in?" and how did he allocate land?" interrupted Chen Cuo.

"In the past, the land was also allocated, but then it was not divided, and I don't know the reason," the man shook his head, "As for Yun Laoweng, it was said that there was originally a rich family in the city, surnamed Wang, and this family saw that he was pitiful, so they took him in, but this Wang family didn't know why, and suddenly the family went on a long trip, but fortunately, Yun Laoweng was not ungrateful, and took care of the Wang family's fields, saying that as long as the Wang family needed it in the future, he would give it with both hands, and said that he was not interested in the land......"

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, and then he jumped up and said, "The hour is not early, if you don't hurry back to pull the luck, you won't be able to sleep tonight......!"

“......”

As soon as the others left, the smile on Chen Cuo's face was gone.

"I don't know, whether the gate understands the situation in this city, or whether it is a laissez-faire attitude towards the secret realm ...... world."

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he turned to look behind him.

"Brother, I see that you are quite interested in the Yun family," there was a person standing behind him, who looked like he was in his teens, wearing coarse linen clothes, and the clothes were dyed black, "I am a helper in their house, if you want to know, I can tell you." ”
