This Second Male Lead Has Something Special
Chapter 189
It was an hour before the fire was put out.
Village Chief Ma led the villagers who were still able to stand up and walked towards Su Lin and his party, and all bowed deeply, "More nobles, please help."
His words sounded like garbled text to the other party.
But he could guess what they meant, so he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
Since they planned to use this village as the first trading point, they naturally had to interact well.
In fact, Village Chief Ma and others were a little panicked. Although these outsiders were not wearing silk and satin clothes, the materials of their clothes were all things they had never seen before, and they should not be affordable for ordinary people.
They were afraid that the other party would look down on their country.
Fortunately, seeing the kind smile of the people in front of them, the uneasiness in their hearts was reduced a little, so they bravely said: "It's getting late now, nobles, do you want to stay in the village first?"
Knowing that the other party didn't understand, he gestured with his hands while speaking, which was a bit strenuous, but fortunately both parties understood.
Zhang Xin and others discussed and decided to act separately.
One group stayed in the village to contact the villagers first, and the other group returned to the wooden house on the mountain to settle down and collect nearby supplies.
While they were discussing, Su Lin set his sights on Wuyi who was standing beside him.
He had not paid much attention to the child when rescuing the wounded before. At this time, Wuyi was still lying on the big yellow dog, with his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open, looking like he was sleeping.
Since he was back in the village, why didn't he go to find his family? And the nearby villagers didn't seem to pay attention to the child.
Su Lin thought about it, then walked to one of the villagers, gestured and asked: "Is this child from your village?"
Ma Dazhuang took some time to understand, and then waved: "No, no, we haven't seen this child in the village."
Su Lin raised his eyebrows.
Why did Wuyi bring them here?
Was it because he saw Liaoyan and wanted to come over to join in the fun, or did he have other ideas?
Looking sideways, Wuyi was squatting in the corner of the tree, holding a branch and playing with ants in the mud. The big yellow dog next to him was also very interested in the ants, digging the soil with his front paws.
From this point of view, the child is definitely a child, and definitely not a hermit.
However, it is still quite mysterious.
The few people discussed it in detail, and the people who stayed behind did not talk about buying and selling, but tried to understand the other world as much as possible, and gathered in the village three days later to discuss other things.
They were also well prepared before coming. In addition to wearing ancient costumes, the pouch hanging around their waists also contained some broken silver and broken gold.
I don’t know what currency the other world uses, but things like gold and silver should be used for transactions.
However, just because they think so doesn’t mean that the other world will definitely come like this.
We still have to investigate first.
The troops were divided into two groups, and Su Lin chose to stay in the village.
The reason is very simple, because Wuyi loves to follow Zhang Xin. Wherever Wuyi goes, the big yellow dog follows. Even if they encounter powerful beasts on the way up the mountain, they can be easily killed with the ability of the big yellow dog.
With the ability to protect himself, he doesn't need to follow. If he really encounters something, he doesn't need to rely on his teleportation to leave. The big yellow dog is enough.
The team members who stay in the village have no way out.
So Su Lin chose to stay and become their way out.
In fact, I am also very curious about the strange world. It is rare to meet such a group of villagers, so I naturally want to know more.
There are ten people who stay. Ten people naturally need a place to stay. After communicating with the village chief, they are divided into two groups and live in some houses that have not been burned down.
"This is the quilt. The nobles use it first. Our village can't get new ones." Village Chief Ma was a little embarrassed, but the weather turned cold and he had to send some quilts used by the villagers.
He gestured to show that he was definitely not deliberately neglecting them. Their village was poor, and no one had a new quilt. They could only choose a few old ones that looked clean and not messy.
When he took it, he was also very nervous, for fear that the nobles would dislike it.
Fortunately, the other party not only did not dislike it, but also thanked them.
These two words were a language they could understand. Hearing the nobles' thanks, their bent waists bent even more.
After delivering the things, they left quickly, fearing that they would disturb their rest.
As soon as the people left, Wang Lian whispered: "The conditions in their village don't look too good."
"It's very poor. This quilt looks good in their eyes, but it has been used for at least ten years, and it feels clumped up."
It's not that they dislike it. Sometimes they can soak in the mud for several hours when they are doing tasks.
Now I just want to show that this village is really poor.
Not only the quilts delivered, but also the clothes worn by each villager, most of which were washed white, and there was no piece of clothing without patches.
"Although I don't know what their currency is, I think we should not take out a large amount of silver for trading." Su Lin said.
This village is too poor. Once a large amount of gold and silver flows out from here, it is likely to attract some people's attention.
In the short term, it is better for them not to attract too much attention.
"I think so too." Meng Xiao nodded, "This world doesn't feel too ordinary to me. I just checked and found that every villager has spiritual energy in his body, but it has not reached the level of awakening. If it exceeds this level, it will definitely become an evolver."
What does this mean?
Even if you don't see evolutionaries in the village, it doesn't mean there aren't any in other places.
The current world has just recovered its spiritual energy, and even if it has the ability to evolve, it is not too powerful.
But here, spiritual energy is so abundant that even ordinary people have spiritual energy in their bodies. Maybe there are more powerful people in this world.
Therefore, it is safest to keep a low profile.
"What about bartering?"
"What ordinary people care about most is food, clothing, housing and transportation, of which food is the main thing. We may be able to exchange some food with them."
"They didn't eat anything at night." Jiang Xiangdi said. They brought their own food. They ate compressed biscuits for the evening meal, but no villagers opened fire.
"If something like this happened, they wouldn't be in the mood to eat." Meng Xiao sighed slowly.
Even with their help, many people still died in the village, and they were all worried about their grief at this time.
"It's also possible that their food was robbed." Su Lin continued. It was not an accident that the fire broke out in the village. This village is not small, and there is a distance between each house. If it was just an accident, there is no reason for this village to have a part. houses were burned down.
If it's not an accident, it's man-made.
The people who came did not drive out the entire village, so they certainly did not come for the people.
Either for people or things.
It's most likely food.
He Su Lin was right. The people in Majia Village were indeed worried about food, and at the same time they were rejoicing.
"Thanks to the village chief, we hid part of the food, otherwise we wouldn't know how to carry it."
As soon as they said this, they all nodded.
Robbery by bandits occurred more than once or twice in the surrounding areas, and many villages suffered.
Village Chief Ma was worried that his village would be next, so he dug a big hole somewhere at the foot of the mountain and hid part of the food there.
Not long after this, their village suffered a disaster.
Now every household's food has been harvested to almost the same extent. Fortunately, there is still some food in the cave that can help them survive some days.
However, Village Chief Ma is still a little worried.
There is not much food hidden in the village. With so many people in their village, they cannot support the autumn harvest.
What will they do when the food in the cave is gone?
Next, if the bandits are not dealt with, what if they know that there is still food in their village and they come again?
This time every household ran out of food, and several villagers died in the flames. So what will happen next time?
"Hey." Ma Village sighed, really not knowing what to do.
At this time, Ma Dazhuang came over and said, "Village chief, do you want to get them some food?"
There wasn't much food, so I would eat less after giving it to others, but those people had saved their village, so even if I couldn't bear to eat, I couldn't starve the nobles.
"Tomorrow." Village Chief Ma said, "I just saw them eating the food they brought with them. Let's make some thick porridge tomorrow and send it over with some bacon."
"I don't know how many days they will stay here?"
"No matter how long we stay, we have to take good care of the nobles."
"Dazhuang, you have been in contact with noble people, are you afraid when you speak?"
When Ma Dazhuang heard this, he recalled the scene when the nobleman talked to him during the day. He could only say, "The nobleman is very nice."
It's really good.
Unlike the city dwellers I met before, let alone talking to each other, he would cover his mouth and nose even when he passed the other person, as if he was afraid of smelling some stench.
Valuable people are different.
There was no contempt for him in his eyes.
It's like they are both the same person.
But how could they be the same person? He is just a country boy who has grown up in this remote rural area all his life, got married and had children, and his children will also take root in this village and go to the town just like him. Neither dared to straighten up.
But no matter what, he thinks the nobles are really nice.
The next morning, Ma Dazhuang told his bedridden wife and helped him make porridge. When everything was ready, he would bring it over with the villagers.
Su Lin and others did not refuse the food sent by the villagers, but after receiving it, they handed them a few compressed biscuits.
These were prepared for them by R\u0026D personnel, and even the packaging was made of oil paper used in ancient times.
Ma Dazhuang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, how can you take something from a noble person?"
Su Lin said to him: "Take it, I just want to ask you for help."
When they talked, they both gestured with their hands to make sure the other party understood what they were saying.
The help in Su Lin's words was to let them collect surrounding supplies.
Various plants and the food they grow are of special interest to professors in this world.
You don’t need too many, just a dozen of each plant.
Of course, the most important thing besides these is the plants that the professors talked about.
White-haired blood and blue flower bones, as well as some vegetables and fruits that villagers can eat.
Vegetables and fruits can be taken. This stuff contains spiritual energy, which is a good thing for both ordinary people and evolved people.
Ma Dazhuang spent a lot of energy before he understood what the noble man said.
But after understanding it, I became even more confused.
Can we use the weeds and cheap vegetables that can be found everywhere in the field to exchange for food?
Although he had not eaten anything wrapped in oil paper, he secretly smelled it. It was particularly fragrant, even more fragrant than the cakes sold in the town. It was a fragrance he had never smelled before.
Those pastries were very expensive. He had only eaten them once when he was so old. He saved up money to buy one for his wife after he got married.
His wife loved him so much that the two of them shared a small piece of pastry, which was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.
"Really, really?" Ma Dazhuang still couldn't believe it.
Su Lin nodded and took out the plant that the professor focused on, "It would be best if we could find this kind of plant."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took it out, Ma Dazhuang's eyes changed. He waved his hands repeatedly, "#¥%#..."
Su Lin tilted his head, not understanding.
Ma Dazhuang didn't know how to draw. He pointed to his pocket and drew a big circle with his hand.
Seeing that the noble man still didn't understand, he scratched his head and felt anxious, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Is it very heavy?" Su Lin asked, this was the voice of another world.
I don’t know how to say ‘very expensive’, so I can only describe it as ‘very heavy’.
Ma Dazhuang nodded repeatedly and pointed to the injury on his arm, "It's very valuable."
Su Lin learned another word.
Also know the importance of the white hair plant.
But think about it, herbs that can directly heal must be very rare. The white-haired plant that grew there at that time was probably because there was a powerful beast nearby, otherwise it would have been plucked out long ago.
Thanks to them, they picked it up all at once, otherwise it would have been very painful to miss it.
It is difficult to trade these rare plants from villagers, but ordinary plants are still fine.
In the eyes of these villagers, a piece of compressed biscuit is a very valuable pastry, which is more delicious than the pastries they have ever eaten.
Just spending some time pulling weeds, such a simple task can be done by children, so the folks in Majia Village are naturally willing to do it.
It's true.
Children are happy to run out when they know they can exchange grass for snacks.
However, the children did not know that the visitors in the village did not collect all the grass, nor did they collect it repeatedly. They only thought that they could replace it by picking the grass on the ground.
No, four or five children carried the weeds they pulled and headed towards the place where the nobles stayed.
When we arrived at the place, we were too scared to move forward. However, a little girl of medium height was the bravest and stepped forward and knocked on the door.
It was Su Lin who opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, the little girl outside the door said sharply: "My lord, is this the weed you want?"
Su Lin took a look and found that it really wasn't the case.
They have already collected enough of this kind of weed, and collecting too much will be of no use to them.
He shook his head, "That's enough."
"ah……"
"Aren't you going to accept it?"
The children were particularly regretful, especially the youngest, who was drooling on his clothes, obviously greedy.
When they were rejected, they did not force it. They shrugged their shoulders and bowed before planning to leave.
"Wait." Su Lin called them.
The plants are no longer collected, but these children can just help out. The collected plants are in short supply. Although the children picked plants that they don’t need, it can be seen that they are very careful and meticulous. Not a single plant was picked casually, even the root system is still there.
You can’t go wrong asking them to sort it out.
Su Lin chatted with them for a while and hired them to work with a low commission of three compressed biscuits each.
Su Lin took advantage of this deal.
But the children narrowed their eyes with laughter.
