My life in another world is up to me

Chapter 273 Mountain Village

The three members of the Su family knew nothing about what happened to Zhang Wu.

At this moment, they have passed through the cover of the Meteor Immortal Forest, crossed the narrow and long mountains, left the Yuan Kingdom and entered the Dai Kingdom.

To be honest, this road is not easy to walk.

Even though the narrow and long mountains didn't produce much, in order to guard against the Dai State, the Yuan State government still sent practitioners to guard it here, and many small villages were established along the road.In order not to reveal their whereabouts, the three members of the Su family passed through the door all the way without entering, relying on the mud to avoid the practitioner's spiritual consciousness, and quietly walked around.

However, this is only the first hurdle.

Perhaps on the map, the Panhandle Mountains are just a mass of line drawings.But walking in it, they discovered that this area was bigger than they imagined, and the terrain was steep and rugged. Before the winter, the top of the mountain was covered with snow, which showed the high altitude.In addition, the number of spiritual plants and monsters here is very, very small, which makes them even more stretched after consuming a lot of resources in the water.

Therefore, by the time they crossed the mountains and reached the surrounding area of ​​Dai Kingdom, a layer of white frost had already fallen on the ground.

Seeing the outline of the house from a distance, Su Yulang, who was already as dirty as a little mud monkey, was about to jump up for joy.He is still holding his soft whip in his right hand. At this time, his soft whip has completely lost its glamorous appearance before. Not only is the color dirty, but the fur of the monster beast that has been kneaded has become frizzy. , stuck his head out of it restlessly.

But Su Yulang was completely out of the mood to worry about this at this time, he grabbed Bian Qing's robe with his left hand, and said excitedly: "Mum, there is a village."

Bian Qing was also very happy to finally see the crowd, but after all he is an adult, so his emotions are much more restrained: "Yeah."

Although it is only separated by a mountain, Dai State is very different from Yuan State.Most of the houses in the Yuan Kingdom are of masonry structure. Ordinary people who can’t afford red bricks and blue bricks will throw mud embryos to make yellow mud to rebuild their houses, but in Dai State, only extremely wealthy people will use large rocks. Bricks are used to build houses, other ordinary people use wood, and the village in front of Su Ziyi and the others even uses thatch.

To put it bluntly, it is actually poor.

Unlike the Yuan Dynasty, the Dai State was ruled by two fixed forces, the government and the aristocratic family, for thousands of years. The complicated and aggressive domestic forces caused instability in the domestic situation, further suppressing the livelihood and economy of the entire country, and so on.Therefore, compared with the Yuan Kingdom, the standard of living is more than one or two points worse.

The appearance of Su Ziyi and the others did not alarm the people in the village. Perhaps it should be said that for the villagers, they have seen too many people dressed down like Su Ziyi and the others.

After all, the world has never been peaceful.

This village is not big, Su Ziyi only scanned the village and the field outside with his divine sense, and was not surprised to find that the whole village was full of ordinary people and there was no cultivator.

It was already afternoon when they entered the village, but because the harvest season had passed, most of the villagers were still busy in the village, only some children were still running around in the open fields.Only these children would show curiosity in their eyes when they saw the Su family and the others, and the adults' eyes were all numb.

Because of the hard life, most of the villagers here are yellow and thin, and the clothes on their bodies are also patched and patched, and the black and torn pieces make Su Yulang feel full of embarrassment.You know, when they were at their worst in Luoshan Village, they had never been this miserable.

Su Ziyi didn't have as many emotions as Su Yulang. He just wanted to find a place to rest, even though the village was small and dilapidated.

He stopped a child casually, asked the direction of the village chief's house, threw a piece of candy to the child, and led Bian Qing and Su Yulang towards the village chief's house.And the kid who got the candy didn't expect that these people who looked similar to them were so rich, and immediately ran home holding the candy.

As the head of a village, the conditions of the village head's family are not much better.

Standing outside the fence made of dead branches, Su Ziyi bent his knuckles and knocked on the courtyard door, which immediately attracted the attention of Ben's family who were busy sifting bugs in the yard: "Excuse me, is this the village head's house?" ?"

The village chief's family has a prosperous population, and when he called him that, a dozen or so pairs of eyes immediately turned to look at him.Among them, the hunchbacked old man who had been sitting next to him with a pipe in his mouth stood up, his bronzed face was full of wrinkles, and he walked over tremblingly, speaking in dialect: "I am, who are you?"

Although it sounds difficult, it is not incomprehensible.

Su Ziyi took out a small piece of silver and tossed it to the village chief: "We are just passing by, and I don't know if it is convenient to borrow here for two days. Of course, there will be no shortage of money."

As soon as the silver came into his hands, the village chief squeezed it vigorously, and after confirming that it was real, the expression on his face became much better.It's just that, as the village head, it's impossible for him to agree recklessly just for a little money, so after turning his tongue around in his mouth, he said, "One day is fine, but two days may not work." This kind of generosity It is impossible to hide the truth from strangers who come here, so staying for a long time will only leave a curse.

"Okay." Su Ziyi didn't think too much about it, he just wanted to find a place to take a hot bath and have a good meal.

"Then you all come with me." Seeing that he agreed, the village head felt at ease.And looking at Su Ziyi's attitude, he reckoned that Su Ziyi and the others should be just affluent refugees, not strangers or practitioners, which greatly relieved him.

The village chief found a villager's house for the Su family. Under his witness, Su Ziyi gave the other party two silver coins in exchange for a fairly clean house.The owner of this house was also very happy after getting those two pieces of silver. After hearing Su Ziyi and the others say that they needed hot water to take a bath, they immediately went down to boil water.

"Will we give too much?" After entering the room, Bian Qing frowned.Both he and Su Ziyi had lived through hard times, so they naturally knew how much purchasing power silver would have in such a village, but—"But I only have silver and gold with me, and I don't have any copper coins." Su Ziyi said helplessly.

After taking turns taking hot baths and putting on new clothes, the three members of the Su family were completely exposed to their spirits which were different from those in the village.

Su Ziyi steamed his hair dry with spiritual power, pushed open the door and walked out, only to see two children of the owner's family huddled in a corner looking at Su Yulang in brocade, their eyes full of envy.He paused, then returned to his normal way and walked towards Su Yulang and Bian Qing.Everyone in the world has their own sufferings, and he can't help them.

Bian Qing and Su Yulang had never experienced such a situation of being surrounded by people. Even if the other party hid well, but as practitioners, their eyes on people were too keen, so when the two children looked over It was like a light on his back, until Su Ziyi came over, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Rest here tonight, and we will start tomorrow morning." The village is too dilapidated, and they can't get the information they want.

"it is good."

In the evening, Su Ziyi and the others only casually ate two bites of the food prepared by the owner and left.And as soon as they left, the two children of the owner's family snatched the bowl of dark meat on the table like hungry wolves, making the owner and his wife want to get angry but afraid of disturbing them. Su Ziyi's family dared not speak out.

The night came quietly, the people in the room did not see that there was not a single star in the sky tonight, but a big dark cloud floated over from the other side of the mountain, and in the middle of the night, it began to rain patter .

When it rained, Su Ziyi, who was sitting cross-legged in the room meditating, woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he happened to meet Bian Qing who was also awake.He shook his head: "It's okay, it's just raining." Then Bian Qing closed his eyes and meditated again.It's just that this time he hadn't been in samadhi for too long, and there was a burst of crying and howling coming from the depths of the village through the rainy night, awakening the entire village.

The owner of the house also moved.

He put on a bamboo hat and hurried out the door, and came back more than half an hour later, and as soon as he came back, the hostess hurried over.Even if their voices were kept very low, but Su Ziyi and the three of them are practitioners, how could they not hear them?They didn't even need to pay attention, the sound of the other party's conversation got into their ears.

"What's going on?" Everyone in the village looked old, and the hostess of this house was only in her thirties, and her voice and appearance already looked like a middle-aged person.

"The daughter of the Chen family has been sent back."

"What? Sent it back?" The woman was very surprised: "The other party actually sent her back? You know, the daughter of the Chen family has been taken away by them for almost four years, why suddenly..." "Shh, it's from a cultivator Don't talk about things indiscriminately." The man was obviously very cautious, and stopped his wife before she wanted to say more things, and finally sighed: "It doesn't matter if you send it back, the girl can't survive today late."

"what?"

"You didn't see it." Speaking of this, the male host obviously couldn't bear it: "The girl of the Chen family doesn't look like a girl, there are more wrinkles on her face and white hair on her head than ours, and there are dark spots in her eyes. He's gone, and he's skinny. Hey, he must not be living well." Although he felt sorry for the other party, he was still very reserved when he was afraid of the coercion of the cultivator.

After the hostess finished speaking, the hostess did not speak for a long time. After a long time, she said sadly, "How are you going to live this day?"

"Besides the Chen family, there are several other daughters who have also been arrested. It seems that the result will not be very good. You said, these girls are so good, and they have never done anything bad. Why do they have to die like this?" Bitter?"
