India

Anguo, one of the three kingdoms in the world, is located in the north of Yeguo, and it is the country with the largest area among the three countries.

As the name suggests, the country is stable and happy.

Anguo has a vast territory, most of the people live and work in peace and contentment, advocating self-sufficiency, simple folk customs, known as a harmonious town.Different from Ye Kingdom's emphasis on commercial circulation, Anguo only cares about its own supply and demand, so it has little contact with the other two countries.

Due to the vast land and sparse population, each family has its own several acres of land for cultivation, and the relationship between each family is harmonious, and the country is stable and peaceful.

Mo Nan had only heard of the above statements from his elders. In fact, he had never been to Anguo once.

Therefore, when he saw the setting sun and the view of the endless fields, he was filled with an uncontrollable sense of novelty.

At dusk, the sky is dyed with a few touches of orange red light, and the fields are like the water surface of a river, with no end in sight, and the setting sun has no mountains to fall, so it has to hang down on the horizon.The grains planted in the fields are dyed in the color of the sunset, shaking slightly with the wind, as if saying goodbye to the sunset.

In the open field, a few residents after working can be vaguely seen. They are walking home in twos and threes with farming hoes on their backs. There is also a shepherd boy riding a cow. He sits on the back of the cow and plays the flute. The melodious sound of the flute Came from a distance, floating in the large open fields.

Mo Nan grew up and rarely saw such a scene. He couldn't help but excitedly pulled Ji Guiran's clothes, pointed to it and said, "Hey Ji Guiran, look there are cows! It's fun, shall we go there?" Borrow a ride?"

"Okay, I'm here to play after all." Ji Guiran said with a sting in his words.

However, a certain person who was out of line couldn't hear it, and he looked excited: "Then let's go!" After saying that, he pulled Ji Guiran to walk in their direction.

"..."

Several residents were a little surprised when they saw the two strange young men appearing.

"These...two young masters, who are you?" One of the middle-aged men asked hesitantly.

"We are human." Mo Nan replied seriously.

"...Where did that come from?"

"From," he pointed to the rear, "Yeguo."

"Oh..." The man nodded in thought, and murmured, "It turns out that you are from the Ye Kingdom, that's really rare."

"how do I say this?"

"Young master must also know that the traditional customs of us Anguo people have never dealt with businessmen, and they rarely have contact with us who do farm work, so there are few people from you."

Mo Nan was thoughtful when he heard the words, and felt that what he said made sense: "You're right, we really don't have much contact with people from Anguo, and we came here because we were looking for... looking for someone."

"I see."

"Let's put this one on first! I have something to ask next," Mo Nan looked at the cow on one side with bright eyes, and asked directly, "Can you let me ride this?"

The cow wagged its tail in protest.

"Brother, do you want to sit on the back of the bull? Yes." The shepherd boy laughed at him, ignoring the bull's dissatisfaction, and jumped off the cow.

"Wow you are so nice!"

After rubbing his head happily, Mo Nan couldn't wait to put his hands on the back of the cow, turned over and lay down on his stomach. The cow mooed displeased because of the sudden increase in weight, but Mo Nan pretended not to hear it.

After lying down leisurely for a while, he sat up straight, his eyes fell on the bamboo flute in the hand of the shepherd boy, and he asked, "Can you lend me a chance to play it?"

The shepherd boy smiled after hearing this, and handed him the flute in his hand: "Little brother, can you play it?"

"Maybe." Mo Nan took the bamboo flute, imagining the appearance of a flute player, pressed the flute holes with his fingers jerkyly, tentatively put his mouth together, and blew lightly first. Before it came out, he tried a few more times, but the flute still didn't respond to him as if he didn't give him face.

He felt a little ashamed, so he took a big breath and blew hard into the hole. This time, he finally got a response. The flute made a sharp and piercing sound, echoing in the quiet countryside, especially abrupt.

The cow that was carrying him seemed to be unable to take it anymore, and made a scream of resistance, writhed and writhed in an attempt to throw Mo Nan off, but Mo Nan had no time to guard against it, and fell back without sitting still for a while.

Fortunately, he didn't fall and gnaw on the mud. He didn't fall on the muddy ground, but felt a familiar body temperature.

Seeing this, the farmers next to him couldn't help but start laughing.

"I'm talking about the little brother of Yeguo, the flute you play, don't talk about it, I can't even listen to it."

"..." Mo Nan didn't want to listen to the teasing words, he stared blankly at Ji Guiran who was following him, intending to see some conspiracy from his face, such as planning to let go suddenly... something like that.It's a pity that it didn't. Ji Guiran had a calm and composed face, as if he was luggage that fell from the back of a cow, and he just picked it up.

"Little brother, you have to thank your friend very much. If it wasn't for him, you would have gone to the field." A farmer said with a smile.

Thanks, of course.Mo Nan put his neck on his neck with a smile, and thanked him in a serious manner: "Hey, my son, I am really grateful. There is no repayment for saving my life, so I can only promise it with my body. How about it?"

As soon as the words came out, it caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding people.

"I really love to joke."

"It's been a long time since I saw such a cute young man."

The shepherd boy's laughter was like a silver bell: "Haha, little brother, you see he is so handsome, if you really marry him, you will be a very miserable girl."

For some reason, Mo Nan felt weird and a little embarrassed. He signaled Ji Guiran to put him down with his eyes, and then he felt the hand holding him tighten up again, and then slowly loosened it after a while Strength.

"Well...it's getting late, I think we should set off." Mo Nan explained to the farmers.

"Going?" The middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning was surprised. He looked at the sunset in the distance and asked, "Are you going to drive at night?"

"It's okay."

"Impossible," he shook his head, "It's too dangerous at night, and besides, the two of you have just arrived here, so there must be many places you are not familiar with."

Hearing this, Mo Nan felt that what he said made sense: "Then...where are you going?"

"If you have no place to go, you can come to my house first," the man smiled. "Although it's a bit dilapidated, it's okay for a few people to live in the house."

"That's right, the two little brothers," someone echoed, "He is a well-known bachelor in our village, living alone is deserted."

"Go and go, you will know how to laugh at me, and I will marry a daughter-in-law and come back to show you someday."

"How many times have you said that, only ghosts will believe it."

Ignoring their non-serious dispute, Mo Nan saw that someone was willing to take him and Ji Guiran in, so he agreed happily.

After bidding farewell to other residents, the man took the two to his home.Mo Nan looked at the field road with seven turns and eight turns coming, and couldn't help but sigh that the residents of Anguo really knew the way.

It's just a simple farmhouse, different from most people's houses in Yeguo, its structure is simple and consistent with the style of the field.

The man beckoned them to sit down freely, and then went to prepare dinner.

Mo Nan wandered around in the narrow yard, but he didn't find anything particularly interesting, so he just wandered around uninterestedly, plucked a dog's tail grass from the corner, held it in his mouth, and was in a daze with nothing to do.

He looked at Ji Guiran who was on the side, also in a daze, he was staring at the field in the distance, wondering what he was thinking about.

Mo Nan stared at his side face in a daze, and suddenly, Ji Guiran looked back at him. Mo Nan was stared at him abruptly, a little at a loss, and when he wanted to say something to relieve him, there was a noise in the room. Call their voices.

The food cooked by the host tastes very good. Although they are some home-cooked dishes, I don't know if it is because of the different ingredients that the entrance is particularly delicious.Mo Nan couldn't care less about maintaining a good eating posture, and devoured the dishes on the table.

"This is delicious!" Mo Nan muttered while stuffing something in his mouth. In fact, this is a very bad behavior.

Fortunately, the owner doesn't care.The man looked at him as if he was watching something new, and said with a smile: "It's just some common food, and it's not much different from what you usually eat. The only difference is that these materials are grown by ourselves at home."

"These...all of them?"

"Most of them are, and some were sent by people next door."

"I see. No wonder it feels so fresh." Mo Nan thought of something and asked again, "Then you are all self-reliant for your daily food, drink and clothing?"

"more or less."

"Wow, that's amazing."

"There's no such thing as being great or not. We're all used to living like this here. Those of us who do farm work, many of us still envy you who are businessmen."

"No, no, I think you guys are stronger."

"Okay, okay, we're amazing." Seeing that Mo Nan was so serious, he didn't intend to argue with him any longer.

"Well, that's right."

Ji Guiran silently rolled his eyes.

"Well, this is delicious too." Mo Nan picked up a piece of potato and chewed it in his mouth.He stuffed his mouth full, looked up and saw Ji Guiran looking at him with disgust, and asked in surprise, "Why don't you eat?"

"I'm full to see you."

"What are you talking about? Really, come and let me pinch you some," he picked up another piece, and specially brought it to Ji Guiran, "Come on, open your mouth with gratitude, ah——"

Ji Guiran looked at the piece of potato that Mo Nan handed over with a complicated expression, as if he was looking at some kind of poison. After hesitating for a while, he slowly opened his mouth to eat it, but in the next second, Mo Nan cleverly Put the chopsticks back.

"Hey, I won't give it to you." He proudly stuffed it into his mouth.

"..." Ji Guiran's forehead was throbbing with veins.

"Hey, I'm just kidding, don't be angry." Mo Nan took another piece and stuffed it directly into Ji Guiran's mouth.

Ji Guiran chewed the potatoes that were suddenly stuffed into his mouth, and for a while, he didn't know what mood he was in, but his frowning brows relaxed a little bit.

"...You two brothers, you have a very good relationship." The man said upon seeing this.

"Not really." Mo Nan shrugged, "It's all thanks to God that he doesn't quarrel with me someday."

"Haha, this is the sign of a good relationship. I don't know why, but I always feel that people from Ye Kingdom are very novel...Maybe I'm getting old, alas."

"All?"

"Yeah," the man recalled with his chin resting, "It seems that a few days ago, a man from Ye country passed by my door at this time. I thought he looked like a wanderer alone, so I invited him to Home is here."

This rhetoric...why is it so familiar.Mo Nan slandered, still kept eating, and listened to the man continue talking.

"But he didn't stay long, he left after having a meal with me...By the way, there are many people like that in your country?"

"What does it look like?"

"It's... the kind that talks like a Taoist priest, wearing very old clothes, with hair so long that it covers your eyes."

Mo Nan almost choked on the potato in his throat.He was out of breath and finally swallowed it, and asked quickly: "What did you say?!"
