According to the location marked on the map, the destination is located in the south of Xiping County, Ye Tian looked up at the sky, judged the direction according to the change in the position of the sun, and soon judged that the current location is east of Xiping County.

The four of them avoided Xiping County, took the path in the southwest direction, and arrived at the foot of a mountain at dusk, with a long mountain range in front of them, Ye Tian saw that it was getting late, and was ready to find a place to rest nearby.

There was a village on the west side of the mountain, and at this time, smoke was rising above the village, and this village had no walls or even guards, which made Luo Yu and Kazekage feel very strange.

"If the villages here don't build walls to defend themselves, aren't they afraid of horse thieves?"

Luo Yu said curiously.

"I've been a horse thief for many years, and I've never seen a village like this, they don't even have guards arranged, and they look completely undefended. ”

Kazekage also said.

Jin Yu didn't think so, and said with a smile: "For a village, if the strength is not strong, even if the city wall is built and guards are arranged, what is the use? For the masters, the city wall has no defensive effect at all, and the guards with poor cultivation can only be killed." So, I don't think it's surprising that the village didn't have walls. ”

Luo Yu was stunned when he heard this, and soon realized that he was born in a remote village, and he had long been accustomed to the city walls and guards, so he felt very strange, in fact, the city walls and guards were really not very useful.

"That's great! For a village, strength is the most important thing, and the walls and guards are not the focus. For example, horse thieves generally do not need to build walls, and even the guards are lax, but few villages dare to attack horse thief strongholds. ”

Wind Shadow said with deep understanding, like Luo Yu, he has a preconceived opinion, so he feels strange.

"Third brother, the village here should be very special, why don't we go and see how they treat their guests, how?" Jin Yu suggested with a smile.

"Okay! Let's go see!"

Ye Tian nodded and said, curious about the strength of the people in this village and their hospitality.

The four of them had just walked out of the hundreds, and at this time, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in the distance, this person was dressed as a typical villager, and he was smiling from afar.

Feng Ying and Luo Yu had already held the hilt of their swords at the same time, which had almost become an instinctive reaction of the two, ready to draw their swords at any time when strangers approached, while Jin Yu and Ye Tian were relatively calm.

"Yu'er, you go and meet him, see what he wants to do!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, then sat down on a stone, and after going down the mountain, he found that outside of Xiping County, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was also very abundant, and it was not at all thinner than the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the land of Xiqiu.

Luo Yu pressed the hilt of the sword, walked forward calmly, and stopped three feet away from the man, at this time, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "Little brother, the contemptible person is Yu Yong, a person from Guizhuang, I am honored to meet the little brother here." At this time, it is getting late, and the fierce beasts in the mountains are rampant, if the little brother and others want to eat and stay, they can come with the contemptible people, and guarantee to provide you with the best place. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't make a decision on this matter, please wait a while, and ask the master to reply later. ”

Luo Yu arched his hand and said, he didn't expect that this middle-aged man would take the initiative to invite him to stay in the village, which is really different from the practices of other villages.

Let's go to this Gui village for one night and have a rich dinner by the way!"

Ye Tian had already heard the words of the two, and the four of them followed the middle-aged man into Guizhuang together.

At the entrance of Zhuangzi, there are several restaurants, the middle-aged man led the four people into one of them, the signboard said that the small farm shop, on the first floor of the store, there are several tables of guests dining, the four of them arrived at the counter, the shopkeeper was full of smiles, and asked, "Are the four staying?"

"Yes, let's stay for one night, do you have a room?"

Ye Tian arched his hand and said.

"Guest officer, there are still vacant private rooms in the shop, upper rooms, ordinary rooms, prices vary, there is a detailed price list here, please look at the four. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Ye Tian looked at the price, the private room here, the accommodation for one night is only 100 Wen, the upper room only costs 30 Wen, and the ordinary room only costs 10 Wen a night.

"Four private rooms. ”

Ye Tian pretended to take out a tael of silver from his arms, and the other party returned six hundred Wen, which made Ye Tian feel quite interesting.

In Qingluozhuang, there is almost no trading, most of them are bartering, so there is no money, the most basic circulating currency is silver, at this time, Ye Tian suddenly understood why the people who walked out of Qingluozhuang are so rich, it turns out that in the villages outside Xiping County, one or two silver can buy so many things.

The middle-aged man smiled and led the four of them to see the private room on the second floor, which was large and bright, clean and spotless, very beautifully decorated, and the blanket on the bed was soft and comfortable.

"Master, I'm hungry. ”

Luo Yu said with a smile.

"Little brother, it's not a contemptible boast, the braised pork in our shop is a must!

The middle-aged man clicked his mouth and said in an exaggerated tone.

Soon, the middle-aged man smiled and led the four of them to the private room upstairs, where there were four tables, two of which were leaning against the window, and you could see the scenery outside the window while eating.

"If you have any good dishes, just bring them up, and the braised pork you said, bring up four plates first, take ten jars of wine, and ten catties of beef. ”

Ye Tian said boldly.

"Great!"

The middle-aged man was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly went downstairs.

"Here, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand wen, two wen can buy one steamed bun, and one tael of silver can buy five hundred steamed buns. An ordinary person eats five steamed buns a day, and one tael of silver is enough to eat for a hundred days. ”

Ye Tian said with a smile.

"Master, those city guards are too black-hearted, three taels of silver is enough for one person to eat for a year, and they actually ask for ten taels of silver per person to buy the road, it's really hateful!"

Luo Yu said a little depressed.

"These city guards are more ruthless than horse thieves!" said Kazekage through gritted teeth.

By the way, one hundred taels of silver, did I give too much, and this one hundred taels of silver would be enough for the old man to eat for a lifetime. Even if he still has a family, one hundred taels of silver is enough for their family to eat for ten years!"

Ye Tian groaned, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Yes, according to the price of accommodation here, the master is indeed too generous, but the master should not be short of silver!" Luo Yu said with a smile.

"Master, if you want silver, you can come to me, my storage space is no less than 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Kazekage laughed.

Jin Yu and Luo Yu's eyes widened at the same time, feeling that Feng Ying was very rich, but Ye Tian smiled and said, "Feng Ying, just one hundred thousand taels of silver, it is indeed not much. I have saved more than a million taels of silver, and more than a hundred thousand taels of gold. ”

"Master, where did you get so much silver and gold?"

Kazekage exclaimed.

"Have you forgotten? Your Great Elder of the Iron Wind Regiment, as well as the head of the Regiment, their silver has all gone into my hands, and many demon beasts have also donated their possessions, so I have so much possessions. ”

Ye Tian smiled evilly, if it was a few years ago, all the silver he had would be less than a hundred taels, and he had accumulated silver for several years.

"Master, it's so powerful! Kazekage can't help but admire!" said Kazekage with a smile.

"Alas, when I used to be short of silver, I felt that it was very important, but now that I am not in shortage, it is of little use. I think that at the beginning, in order to kill the golden spirit leopard, I died nine times for life, and a piece of golden spirit leopard fur could only be sold for a hundred taels of silver. At that time, in order to buy a small pill, I had to save up for a few years. But now, silver doesn't mean much to me like numbers. ”

Ye Tian remembered the past years and couldn't help sighing.

At this time, two guys had already come up with wine and food, and the middle-aged man was holding two dishes with a smile, Ye Tian asked curiously: "May I ask, how much silver does Xiao Huandan here need?"

"Guest officer, if you want to buy Xiao Huandan, this is not cheap, if you look for a contemptible person, the contemptible person is guaranteed to be much cheaper than the one outside. ”

The middle-aged man pretended to be mysterious.

"Less nonsense, just say how much silver!"

Ye Tian said.

"The price outside is about twenty taels of silver, and the contemptible can buy it for fifteen taels of silver. ”

The middle-aged man smirked.

"I knew this earlier, I used to come here to buy Xiao Huandan, Qingluozhuang's Xiaohuandan, it was too expensive to sell, it required a full hundred taels of silver, and one tael could not be less. ”

Ye Tian smiled self-deprecatingly, and the middle-aged man asked, "Do you want to buy Xiao Huandan?"

"Don't buy it, it's too expensive!"

Ye Tian replied loudly.

"Yes, it's too expensive, and the average person can't afford it. ”

The middle-aged man smiled, then retired.

The four of them drank in a big bowl and ate meat, but when they were drunk, they heard a heart-rending cry outside the window, which immediately attracted the attention of the four people.

The restaurant is at an intersection in Guizhuang, at this time, an old woman in gray is crying, and there is a woman in a white dress beside her, who is kneeling on the ground with a sea child in her arms, crying extremely desolately.

Behind the two of them, there are two children, the eldest is about eight years old, and there is a five or six-year-old child, these two children seem to be already sensible, crying bitterly with the adults.

"What are you crying about, it's noisy!"

Someone on the first floor slapped the table and shouted.

"Guest officer, do you know, this is our rule here, unless someone dies, the family of the deceased will cry in the village, so that the soul of the deceased can be recalled, this family is quite pitiful, please bear with me." ”

The shopkeeper personally apologized.

"Oh, I see!"

The roaring man bowed his head and drank, but he regretted his roar a little.

"Master, isn't that person lying on the ground the same old man we met today?"

Luo Yu pointed downstairs in surprise and said.
