Behind me is the earth

"Brother Lu, does he know where these refugees are going?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"They all went to Dongyang County. These refugees passed through Qingshui County and were diverted to Qingcheng Town for disaster relief.

However, Qingcheng Town cannot afford to feed these refugees, and it is impossible to consume food to feed them for a long time. Just give them a meal of porridge and let them continue on their way. "

Lu Junyi said.

"How far is Dongyang County from here?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

Lu Junyi said: "It's about five hundred miles away. The weather there has been good in the past few years. It is much richer than our Yuntai County. It is a hope for these refugees."

"When I was in the teahouse before, I heard from my brother that there might be an outbreak of zombies this year?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at the refugees in the distance and asked.

“Every time there is a natural or man-made disaster, refugees drag their families thousands of miles to beg for food. There are thousands of refugees. How many of them can survive?

To put it bluntly, our yamen... even if the county magistrates want to take charge of it, it is inevitable for those government soldiers and servants to worry about one thing and lose the other.

If Beiwan Province doesn't stop, it will be unavoidable for us here. "

Lu Junyi and Ren Pingsheng had just met, and they didn't dare to say something clearly, but they also expressed some of their own opinions.

Ren Pingsheng nodded. There is no Internet here, government orders cannot be as smooth as those on Earth, and the government's organizational capabilities are even more incomparable.

He asked Lu Junyi again: "Brother, do you know how the living corpse appeared seven years ago?"

Lu Junyi shook his head this time. I don't know what I thought of, but my face was stained with sadness.

Seven years ago, when the living zombie poison broke out, many, many people died. Countless people died from the first wave of the virus outbreak and from the infection caused by the bites of living corpses.

Perhaps Lu Junyi left behind some sad past at that time.

The two of them chatted, and time passed quickly. When the isolation ended, the two sides chatted quite speculatively.

Through chatting, Ren Pingsheng asked some questions he wanted to investigate and got some answers.

I have some general understanding of the entire Yuntai County, the neighboring Dongyang County, and Beiwan Province.

It will not be the same as before, except for Liujia Village, Qingcheng Town, and Qingshui County, with the exception of the outside world.

Lu Junyi, on the other hand, was even more impressed by Ren's wisdom throughout his life. He had penetrating insights into many problems he encountered while doing business. Often, with just one or two words of advice, he felt like he was able to clear up the clouds and see the sun.

"Brother Lu, see you soon!"

The quarantine time for Liujiacun has come. Lu Junyi's team arrived later and there is still half an hour of quarantine time.

After saying goodbye, the Liujiacun group entered the city.

Ren Pingsheng opened his sleeves and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist. It was already half past three in the afternoon. It's getting dark very early now, and I'm afraid it will be dark in less than two hours.

While walking along the street, Ren Pingsheng observed the first city he saw after coming to this world.

Different from the uniform adobe houses built by the villagers in Lijia Village with the help of each other, the houses on both sides of the streets here are basically made of blue bricks, and the blue bricks and red tiles look particularly upright.

There are "well"-shaped streets and deep lanes. Occasionally, you can see some two-story or even three-story buildings along the street. There are some sparse shops on both sides of the street, some selling rice and noodles, and some selling... Cloth, some sell food, and there are also medical and drug stores...

Ren Pingsheng actually saw the brothel, which was pointed out to him by Lao Liu. There were men coming in and out, and women seeing each other in disheveled clothes.

These are prostitutes with half-open doors.

When a group of people drove the bullock cart to the street where the big market was located, the sparse crowds and dozens of stalls were visible at a glance.

I don’t know whether it was because I arrived late or because of the quarantine policy outside, but there was no lively scene at all as expected.

Looking at the scene in front of them, even though they had expected it before, Liu Qiang and the others still looked a little ugly.

Sure enough, only about ten pieces of leather were sold on the car until after dark, less than one-fifth.

"Brother Qiang, what should I do?"

Wang Qiqi is a woman after all, and she still cares about her children at home.

It was getting dark now, the goods were not sold, and it was really dangerous to rush home at night.

"Stay one night in town, get up early tomorrow, and sell again all morning."

Liu Qiang made a decision.

Finally, I found an inn.

Datongpu, where each person pays 5 copper coins, sleeps dozens of people in a room. After entering, the smell of grinding teeth, talking nonsense, talking, and the smell of feet and sweat are mixed together, which can knock someone's head!

The only advantage is that you can't feel the cold weather outside here.

Everyone was drinking hot water, nibbling dry biscuits, and eating dried meat. Such food was still so greedy that those who were not asleep frequently looked at it.

Liu Qiang chatted with people for a while and was very happy when he came back: "Many people here came to the market. Many people were delayed due to the isolation policy outside. It is said that the market will continue tomorrow. We should have the remaining fur." Not hard to sell!

Lao Liu, you go take care of the thin dog in the middle of the night and take good care of the skin! "

"no problem."

Lao Liu nodded.

night,

Ren couldn't sleep all his life. He was used to the weird smell, but the sound of grinding teeth and talking nonsense made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

He even saw someone quietly sitting up and secretly looking through other people's bags.

He hugged the hiking bag next to him tighter and grabbed the handle of the electric baton with one hand.

However, the thief did not come here.

It seems that they are afraid of the large number of people in Liujia Village.

Seeing that the thief didn't come over, Ren Pingsheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief. My mind was in a state of confusion, and I began to think about my future life.

After all, Liujia Village is too small and it is a society of acquaintances. It is difficult for Ren Pingsheng to develop in the village.

Through today's observation and research, Qingcheng Town is a suitable place for me to settle down.

The first is security. Although it is not a county town, there is still a group of policemen patrolling to maintain public order. The twelve-meter-high city wall also gives people a sense of security. The high-walled houses and courtyards in the city can also isolate the sight of others.

The second is enjoyment. I came to this world to enjoy a luxurious life, not to suffer.

The third is development. I only have a one-kilometer range of activities on the earth, and my life is very awkward, so my future development focus will naturally shift to this world.

Ren Pingsheng tightened the mountaineering bag in his arms. When he planned to come to Qingcheng Town, he had already made plans. In addition to bringing a few silver ingots with him, he also prepared some exquisite porcelain and precious glass in the mountaineering bag. Bottles, beautiful snuff bottles, plastic lighters, artificial fine jewelry, beautiful wall pictures of beauties...

These gadgets wholesaled from Zishi canteens are not worth two to three hundred yuan as industrial products, but in this world, they can be said to be rare and valuable.

These things can be taken out to test the water, the purchasing power of Qingcheng Town, and the acceptance of these gadgets by people in this world.

Ren Pingsheng didn't know when he fell asleep. He slept very lightly and woke up countless times, which made him feel a little out of sorts the next day.

But after walking out of the house, when the fresh air and the cold wind blew in his face, Ren Pingsheng was shocked and suddenly woke up.

"Come on, I'll treat everyone to wontons!"

Ren Pingsheng greeted all the villagers in Liujiacun.

"Yeah, don't let Mr. Ren spend money..."

"Yes, we are bringing dry food."

Ren Pingsheng smiled and said: "It doesn't cost a lot of money. We all had wontons and were warm. Don't refuse."

Besides, I will need some help from everyone later, and you won’t be able to refuse then. "

"Okay, Mr. Xie Ren!"

I ordered thirteen bowls of wontons, as well as some flower rolls, fried dough sticks, and tofu puffs.

While eating, Ren Pingsheng and Liu Qiang sat together and chatted about their plans for the day.

He and Liu Qiang are of the same age, but when they sit together, they look more than ten years apart!

Liu Qiang's face is dark and he is in his twenties. There are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead, making him look much older than his actual age.

Ren Pingsheng has clear eyes, rosy complexion, and delicate skin. She has better skin than all the women in Liujiacun, and she looks younger.

In comparison, Ren Pingsheng looked like a noble son from a big family.

This was also Liu Shiqiang's first impression when he first met Ren Pingsheng outside the city.

Although at that time, Ren Pingsheng was carrying a skinny Xiaowan on his back and holding a steel crossbow, fighting and retreating while being chased by a group of living corpses, which was very embarrassing.

But his painting style is still different from those of farmers like them, and even the appearance and demeanor of the young masters in the county cannot compare with Ren Pingsheng.

At this time, he was not surprised to hear that Ren Pingsheng had plans to leave Liujiacun.
