Chapter 229: A Small Fishing Village

After getting ready for the trip, He Xiaoting didn't want to stay longer for a moment, so she got on the row of tree boats and paddled with a homemade rudimentary oar.

When she first entered the sea, she didn't grasp the essentials of rowing, and the boat circled in place, and only sailed forward when she was paddling, if it weren't for her strength, I was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to row the boat.

Identifying the direction of the rising sun, he walked day and night, ate snake meat when he was hungry, drank coconut water when he was thirsty, and wandered on the sea for sixteen days, and the whole person was tanned before he saw the land.

The moment she was down-to-earth, He Xiaoting's tears were about to fall.

It's not easy for ordinary people, if her spiritual power hadn't mysteriously disappeared, Edgeworth wouldn't have been able to use even a day's kung fu to fly.

But even if it was very hard, she didn't regret entering the Sea Dragon Tower.

Cultivator against the sky, how can she be afraid of such a little hard work, it doesn't matter if her cultivation is gone, she can always find the reason and find a way to break the situation and leave this ghost place.

When she went ashore, He Xiaoting did not throw away the rest of the food, but took the time to find a hidden place, hid the tree boat and wooden barrel, and packed the remaining coconuts, coconut jerky and snake jerky on her back.

Standing on a high place and looking around, it is easy to find traces of human existence, even if it is just a low earthen house, it can solve her current predicament.

She didn't change her clothes, she couldn't use cleaning, she hadn't showered for more than half a month, and her clothes were so dirty that she couldn't see them, and she smelled fishy, which was about to make her sense of smell problem!

In her previous life and this life, it was the first time she was so embarrassed.

He Xiaoting sat on the boat for a long time, her legs were wooden, she didn't listen to the call, and her walking speed was naturally not much faster, and it took half an hour to reach the nearest village.

When a stranger enters the village, it naturally attracts the attention of the villagers, and it is not long before an old man with a hoe on his shoulder, rolled trouser legs, and muddy feet approach.

"This girl, are you here to visit relatives or friends?"

In his heart, he thought that the poor relatives of which family had come to take refuge, otherwise he would be disgraced and carrying some messy things.

Alas, their small fishing village is already having a hard time, how can they still provoke the autumn wind.

How did He Xiaoting know that the old man had already decided that she was an autumn wind fighter, and asked with a sad face, "Uncle, I came by boat from the other side of the sea, and I met a pirate on the way, and I fell into the sea in a panic, and I ended up here, may I ask what kind of place is this?"

The old man was suspicious, "When you encounter a pirate, can you still take so many things to escape?"

Instantly vigilant, this girl is full of lies, could it be that she is harboring evil intentions!

"Uh~ My packages are actually lost," He Xiaoting explained stubbornly, "These are the ones I found on an island, tied to a big tree, and rowed over, I want to see if I can find someone to change something." ”

"Don't try to coax me," the old man suddenly changed his face and said sharply, "You can carry these things, which means that you have a lot of strength, and you will be forced to jump into the sea by bandits?"

He Xiaoting was silent for a few seconds, and said faintly, "They have knives." ”

Well, this reason is strong enough that a person with his bare hands would not dare to fight for his life with a knife-wielding bandit.

The old man barely believed her words, and there was some sympathy on his face.

"In that case, what is the girl going to do next?"

"I don't know," He Xiaoting sighed, "I've never been far away, I can't go home alone, and I've been adrift at sea for so many days, I'm very tired, and now I just want to find a place to rest, but I'm penni......less."

The old man is a farmer who is a responsible farmer, and he couldn't help but soften when he heard this, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, you can come to my house to rest, and the rest will be considered when you recover your spirits." ”

He Xiaoting was secretly happy in her heart, and said gratefully, "Then I will trouble you." ”

She won't live in vain, she can separate some coconut jerky and snake jerky, which should be used as rent.

In the following conversation, He Xiaoting learned that the old man's surname was Zhao, and this village was called Xiaoyu Village.

Uncle Zhao's father and mother died, but he had a few brothers, but they separated early, married Liu, had three sons and two daughters, and all had families and children.

Now the emphasis is on the father and mother not separating the family, but Uncle Zhao is very open-minded, disgusted with a large family crowded together too noisy, and when the children get married, they can't wait to split the family, and he and his wife live with the eldest son.

After understanding the general situation, He Xiaoting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she didn't like to join in the fun.

The Zhao family lives in the center of the village, and a little wind and grass can spread quickly, and Uncle Zhao led a black girl home to make everyone know for a while.

He Xiaoting took the snake jerky and changed a set of coarse cloth dresses with Aunt Zhao, scrubbed herself for a long time in the borrowed small room, took care of it and went out to pour water, and saw that the courtyard was crowded with people, looking at her as if she was looking at some Western scenery.

"Hiss~ Didn't you say that the black girl, if she is black like this, then what am I?

"God, I saw a fairy, there has never been a girl with such a sign in our village. ”

"Not only in our village, but also in the town or county. ”

"It's just not as white as Miss Everyone, I've seen Miss Sun of Landlord Li's family, she looks white~"

......

The villagers talked a lot, but He Xiaoting was a little embarrassed, she just spent a few days on the sea, and she actually tanned again.

I wanted to hide back in the room, but I was worried that it would be too rude to make the host's family unhappy, so I could only stand awkwardly.

Uncle Zhao didn't look like words, and stood up to catch people, "It's noon, the family is going to cook, go quickly, my family doesn't have time to entertain idlers." ”

Although I wanted to take a few more looks, Uncle Zhao opened his mouth, and everyone was embarrassed to stay longer, so they could only regret to disperse.

He Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Uncle Zhao and went back to the room.

Next, it's better to live in seclusion, even if you want to find a way to make money, you have to go out early and return late and keep a low profile.

After resting for two days, He Xiaoting adjusted her mentality and decided to follow everyone out to sea to fish, earn some silver and go south to find a way to solve the dilemma.

At this time, the row of tree boats comes in handy, even if the appearance is not good, but the bearing capacity is leveraged, ordinary small fishing boats are not comparable to the ordinary fishing boats, rowing out to fish for half a day, the harvest is more than the fishermen in a day.

He Xiaoting didn't want to have bad relations with the people in the village, nor did she cast a net near the sea, but only went far away.

After staying in the small fishing village for more than two months and saving a few taels of silver for the journey, He Xiaoting was ready to leave.

Uncle Zhao's family has a good personality, only accepted half a bag of snake jerky to let her live for so long, cooked and warmly beckoned her to eat, before leaving, she left the rest of the snake jerky in Zhao's house.

She prefers to eat seafood to snake meat, so she only took her dried shrimp and a few bottles of caviar given by Aunt Zhao, and quietly left early in the morning.

If you don't avoid it, the villagers still treat her as a fairy, but seeing that she has to eat, drink, and sleep every day, and make money by going out to sea to fish, she is no different from ordinary people, and she is a foreigner who has suffered hardship, so she moved her mind.

These days, matchmakers keep coming to the door, and many middle-aged women can't wait to pull her home when they see her, she doesn't like trouble, so she can only leave early.
