Chapter 23 Visiting Xiaoyu Village

Time flies, and one month flies by. Chi Tianmin has completely penetrated into the children and is very familiar with them.

Starting from tomorrow, friends will not be able to go into the city because the busy farming season is coming.

The children's parents need to start working on the farm. Although they are young, they still need to help as much as they can.

The main food crop of Haochen Kingdom is corn. Perhaps due to the aura, the crops grow extremely fast. It only takes three months from sowing to maturity.

Except for the cold winter, it can be planted at any other time, so the people of Haochen Kingdom must plant three seasons a year.

Although they can grow three seasons a year, the yield is not high. In addition, people in Lingwu Continent have a really big appetite, so they can only make ends meet.

An ordinary adult in Lingwu Continent only needs two kilograms of corn for a day, which is barely enough to eat. Therefore, most families can only ensure food and clothing and have no extra spare money.

It is now mid-August, the day when the second season of corn is harvested and the third season of corn is sown. All the villagers have entered the busy farming period, and no one goes to the city to do business.

Chi Tianmin has completely gained the trust of the villagers, and now is the time to gain a deeper understanding of their lives.

Chi Tianmin has been in the imperial capital since he was born, and has never really seen the life of the people at the bottom.

Now is the best time for him to see how ordinary people in Lingwu Continent live.

"Brother Hei, take me to your village to play around. We are so familiar with each other, but I haven't been to your place yet?"

Of course Lei Zhenyu was very happy with Chi Tianmin's request for a visit.

Xiaoyu Village is his hometown. He has been taking care of Chi Tianmin these days, and he has long wanted to entertain him well. Xiaoyu Village is undoubtedly a good place.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to the countryside." Lei Zhenyu was still worried because Chi Tianmin was from a noble family.

Chi Tianminhun waved his hands indifferently: "If I really care, I won't play with you."

Seeing that Chi Tianmin didn't mind, Lei Zhenyu was also happy. The two parties agreed on a time and left separately.

Lei Zhenyu informed his mother in advance that he was going home and prepared a good meal for Chi Tianmin.

Chi Tianmin needs to prepare some gifts and leave a good impression on his first visit so that he won't bother him for a long time in the future.

Xiaoyu Village is a relatively large village near the imperial capital. There are more than 200 households and thousands of villagers in the village.

The villagers make a living by growing corn, hunting and doing small business in their spare time to supplement their family income.

Chi Tianmin prepared a small gift for each household, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and a piece of porcupine meat, which was simple and practical.

One gift is not much, but more than two hundred is a lot. Chi Tianmin's guards sadly became coolies, using a cart to pull the gifts forward.

There is a broad road between the cities of Haochen Kingdom, which can ensure fast communication between the cities.

That was built by Haochen State at a large cost, which could ensure the rapid dispatch of various materials, and was also an important business route.

Kangzhuang Avenue connects small roads leading to various villages and mountains.

In addition to taking the main road between the two cities, you can also take shortcuts by climbing over mountains and ridges, crossing rivers when encountering water.

Because trails directly cross mountains and rivers, they can save a lot of time compared to highways. People who are in a hurry or small traders should use trails more often.

When you get to Xiaoyu Village, you will first walk a section of the road, then turn to a trail, pass through a forest, and cross a small river to arrive.

The avenue outside the West City Gate is dozens of meters wide and can accommodate several large vehicles traveling side by side.

The avenue is paved with huge boulders. The boulders are extremely smooth, as if cut with a knife.

Speaking of civil infrastructure, we have to mention the craftsmen. The huge stones of the avenue are not excavated by manpower, but are generated by a kind of equipment.

The craftsmen developed an instrument that resembled a huge trolley and was inlaid with several earth-based spiritual stones.

When building roads, people only need to push the equipment forward, and the equipment will absorb the energy from the spirit stones and generate huge stones of the same size, which are spread flatly on the road.

However, this kind of equipment consumes a lot of spiritual stones, so except for use between large cities, it cannot be used on ordinary roads.

After finishing the shopping, Chi Tianmin happily set off towards Xiaoyu Village according to the route map, with gentle green bamboos and sad-faced guards following behind them.

Xiaoyu Village was not far away. Chi Tianmin and his party arrived at the entrance of the village more than half an hour later.

There were already friends waiting for them at the entrance of the village, and Lei Zhenyu had told them the news that Chi Tianmin was coming.

The villagers also welcomed Chi Tianmin. They had known for a long time that their child had met a noble person, so they would naturally welcome the noble person to visit them. What's more, the noble person also brought gifts.

Chi Tianmin put down the gifts and asked his friends to deliver gifts to each household. The villagers who received the gifts were even more enthusiastic.

Chi Tianmin treated Lei Zhenyu as a friend, and his friend's mother was his elder. According to etiquette, he needed to visit Lei's mother first.

Regarding Chi Tianmin's education, the mistress of the Hou Mansion did not fall behind. There were dedicated people to teach him aristocratic etiquette and family style. Therefore, Chi Tianmin's understanding of etiquette was partly due to Mrs. Lin.

Lei Zhenyu's mother is very grateful to Chi Tianmin. Since her son followed him, her son has become much more cheerful and laughs from time to time.

She had long wanted to thank Chi Tianmin in person. After receiving the news that he was coming, she specially picked fresh wild fruits and prepared exquisite pastries, waiting for Chi Tianmin's arrival.

Lei Zhenyu waited for Chi Tianmin in advance and took Chi Tianmin to his home.

"Mom, this is Chi Tianmin, Master Chi." Lei Zhenyu introduced Chi Tianmin to Lei's mother.

Chi Tianmin stepped forward, bowed, and called out sweetly: "Hello, aunt."

"Young Master Chi is so polite. You must be tired from the journey. Come in and sit down." Lei's mother warmly welcomed Chi Tianmin into the house.

Chi Tianmin waved his hands repeatedly, "Auntie, Zhenyu and I are friends. You can just call me Tianmin. What do you call me Young Master? It's too natural."

But Lei Mu refused: "He is the guard and you are the master. We must never distinguish between superiority and inferiority."

Chi Tianmin finally understood why Brother Hei always regarded himself as a subordinate. It turned out that the source was here.

But Lei Mu is considered an elder and it is difficult to refute, so I can only let her address me and follow her into the lobby.

It's called the lobby, but it's actually not big. It's just a table and a few chairs. Although it's simple, the room is very clean.

There were washed wild fruits and various pastries and snacks on the table, which were the best things Lei Mu could come up with.

Lei Mu poured a bowl of water for each of them, and then invited them to sit down. "There is nothing good for you in the mountains and wilderness. You can just try it."

The guards and Luzhu did not dare to sit down in front of outsiders. They had to maintain the majesty of their master. The other party was so polite. As servants of the Hou family, they could not be looked down upon or thought to be indifferent.

Chi Tianmin unceremoniously picked up the unknown wild fruit and took a bite.

This wild fruit was unexpectedly delicious, tender, juicy, and sweet. Chi Tianmin had never eaten it before, and the taste was no worse than the tribute fruit his father brought back.

Chi Tianmin finished one in a few mouthfuls, and then went to get another one. While eating, he did not forget to hand one to Lu Zhu. As for the guard, he ignored him nakedly.

The guard smacked his lips in grievance. His mouth was dry now, but he didn't know Chi Tianmin that well, so he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Chi Tian looked at the guard with hatred, and said angrily: "If you want to eat, just take it yourself. You have been following me for so long, and you still don't know my temper?"

This guard was specially responsible for protecting Chi Tianmin when he left the house. He had been with Chi Tianmin for a while. To them, this young master could be said to be impeccable.

He has a gentle personality and never beats or scolds them. He never forgets them every time he has something delicious or fun to do.

The guard often felt lucky at midnight to be assigned to protect the second young master. This was a really good job.

However, he is a professional guard trained by the Marquis after all. No matter how easy-going the young master is to them, they must position themselves correctly. They are servants and must have absolute respect for their master.

This idea is rooted in their bones. Not to mention him, even Lu Zhu, who has taken care of Chi Tianmin since childhood, has always regarded Chi Tianmin as his master subconsciously, although Chi Tianmin has long regarded her as a relative.
