Chapter 34 Arriving at Haicao Village for the First Time
Looking at Haicao Village from a distance, one can see a warm golden yellow hidden in the blue and green.
The fluffy golden-yellow seaweed is thickly laid on the roof, and under the bright sunlight, it seems that the roof is covered with gold.
The red sea stone bricks, which are cut unevenly but full of fun, build a solid house and courtyard wall.
The stone roads of the same color and material extend from the village to the beach.
The red house and the golden roof, and the crescent moon beach covered with golden sand, so clear that you can see the turquoise water on the bottom of the sea, the white seabirds circling in the sky, the high, vast and clear sky... the beauty is natural
.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Wang Ye sighed, no wonder so many players in the previous life wailed on the Internet, saying that it was a pity that Haicao Village disappeared, and some people said it was "the sky is jealous of the beauty".
Only when you really see this island and this village can you know how beautiful she is.
Wang Ye has seen what the village looked like after it was destroyed, and after comparing it, he can understand why those players feel so sorry.
Haicao Village is said to be a village, but it is actually about the same size as a town. The permanent population here is about five to six thousand. This is because they are not very willing to accept outsiders to settle down. Otherwise, the population here would have skyrocketed to tens of thousands.
Just as the annual big market is about to start, many medium-sized and large ships have already parked at the big pier of Haicao Island.
The pier was very lively, people coming and going, shouting everywhere.
Haicao Village has a very strict management of the market. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the village to sell goods before the opening time. These merchants and travelers who arrived in advance spontaneously set up a temporary market in the open space of the pier, and even people from Haicao Village would come here to shop for goods.
However, the people of Haicao Village do not guarantee the safety of the temporary market, nor will they manage it. If someone is deceived or robbed or stolen in this temporary market, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
But when it came to the prescribed market in Haicao Village, it was different.
First of all, cheating is not allowed. You can buy and sell at a low price, but you can't shoddy, let alone deceive people with fake products. Stealing and robbery are also not allowed in the market, and if caught, they will be dealt with by the people of Haicao Village, and it is useless for anyone to intervene.
Moreover, the transactions made in the market can be protected by the seagrass village until the buyers and sellers leave the seagrass island.
Just because the seagrass village market is willing to take responsibility, although some merchants and travelers come early, they seldom buy a lot at the temporary market now, and usually wait until the day when the market officially opens.
Trench Island boats appeared at the pier without attracting any attention.
During this period of time, many nearby islands would send people to the market. When outsiders saw this small boat and the attire of the people on board, they knew that it was an aborigine living in the nearby waters.
Seagrass Island takes good care of its neighbors, and has prepared a special berth for them, which is completely separated from those foreign medium and large ships, so as to avoid some unnecessary conflicts.
"Little Ye Zi, get off the boat." The anchor greeted Wang Ye who was still standing at the bow to watch the scenery.
The ten young villagers who followed were responsible for moving the goods off the boat. There was a wheelbarrow prepared by Haicao Village at the pier, which could be lent to neighbors for free.
It was not the first time for the anchor to come. The steward in charge of the small pier laughed when he saw him: "This time your village came early. Hey? How come there is only one boat this time? And so many children?" "
The anchor shook haha: "The boys are making a fuss, take them out to see the world. There are still some goods in the village that are not ready, so we will come out first, and the day after tomorrow, there will be another ship coming from the village." The steward's eyes fell on Lei
Mu , although Lei Mu's attire is no different from that of Haigou Village, but the text tattoos on his face are still too conspicuous, standing in the crowd, he can be seen at a glance.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, he is Damu. He drifted to our place and was taken in by our village. He is a nice person, hardworking and capable, but he is a bit bored." The anchor introduced him very simply, but he looked natural and was in charge
. I didn't think too much about it. This kind of picking up and being picked up, and then staying on the local island, often happens at sea, and everyone is not surprised.
Although there are some culprits among them, most of the people who are picked up will live an honest life.
The rope on Zhang Hui's hand was untied, and he, like other young people in the village, was busy transporting goods from the boat.
The villagers were worried that he would run away. Seeing that he was working honestly and diligently, they stopped staring at him. They only sent Haidan and Xiaoyezi to follow him. Just let him be happy.
Together with Haidan, Wang Ye carried a few small baskets and put them on the wheelbarrow.
These baskets are filled with seabird eggs picked up by the children on the island. Besides selling them for money, they bring them here as part of their food.
Lei Mu helped put the last bag of salted fish on the cart, and the young man in charge lifted the handle of the wheelbarrow and shouted, "Uncle Anchor, everything is all right!
" The old place, I don't need to find someone to take you there, right?" The manager said with a smile after recording how many people came from Haigou Village and how many trucks they brought.
"Of course not." The anchor smiled heroically, and the two brothers hugged the shoulders of the person in charge: "Brother, I want to ask you something. The sharks in our village may have come to your island. Have you seen him? He and him family together."
The steward immediately said: "I was just about to ask you, the day before yesterday Shark came with his wife and children, saying that his younger brother Xia Zi made a mistake, he was embarrassed to stay in the village, so he took his family out to find another Is there such a thing? The shark is not driven out by your village, is it?" "
No, no." The anchor doesn't have a big opinion on the shark, so naturally he won't trip him up on this matter. Immediately denied it: "It is true that his brother Xiazi caused trouble. Shark is sad, and he is also afraid that the villagers will point fingers. You know, our village is so big, and when small things happen that are as small as sesame seeds, we can talk about it for a long time. Shark That character, how can he stand being pointed at and prodded? After discussing with the village, he exchanged his house for a boat and brought his family out." "That's fine.
Shark is a good player, as long as he's okay. He can live a good life anywhere."
"We think so too. Do you know where he lives now? It's a village after all. We're here to see if he's doing well. If you can help him Handle."
The steward smiled gratifiedly, the people in Haigou Village can still think about the Shark family, which shows that the Sharks really didn't make a mistake and were kicked out, otherwise, how could they still care about the life and death of the Shark family with the personality of the anchor who can't rub the sand in his eyes?
"Shark lives at the west entrance of the village for the time being. You should inquire over there, and you should be able to find him easily." "
Okay, thank you, brother, I'll buy you a drink when you're free."
A team of unicycles lined up Walk along the red sea stone road to the village.
For the teenagers and children who came here for the first time, their heads kept spinning, and everything they saw was very fresh.
The same is true for Wang Ye. He also used the camera function attached to the game system to take a lot of photos as souvenirs.
There are many people coming and going on the road, including locals from Haicao Island and outsiders.
The big market will be held for a whole month, and many outsiders like to rent a house in the village. Haicao Village also built some houses specially for this purpose, and rented them out to these foreign businessmen and travelers.
Passers-by and some people followed them and asked them what goods they brought, saying that if it was the goods they needed and the quality was good, they could buy them at a higher price than the average price of similar goods in the market.
The anchor was unmoved, saying that they would not sell their goods before the market started, and if they wanted to buy, they would go to the market to buy.
The person who asked the question didn't bother.
After sending two or three calls to question the businessmen, the anchor said to everyone half-pointingly: "It cannot be said that these people are liars, but many of these foreign businessmen have unknown identities. Some of them came here with robbers in their hands. The idea of defrauding a fortune and running away. The simplest deception is to use shells and stones painted with silver powder to pretend to be silver coins. Last year, a village similar to ours was deceived, thinking that they had made a lot of money, but found out that The silver coins received are all shells."
"There are some merchants who are good at stealing, and now they buy your things at a high price, and after paying you, he touches you and then takes the money back." "There are
also Even more powerful ones, such as being able to use illusions and affecting people's spirits, you sell yourself, you don't know what the other person looks like, and you don't know who to turn to if you want to settle accounts." "In short, except in the
market In other places, don't buy and sell things casually, and be careful of being deceived."
The young people in Haigou Village nodded one after another, expressing their education.
Wang Ye's eyes fell on the three big boys who just passed by them.
As soon as he set foot on the land of Seagrass Island, he was looking for Earth players, and finally found him.
Earth players have a common feature in the game world, there is a small blue ball mark on the back of the hand, the only difference is that some people are left-handed and some are right-handed.
Earth players also have a common origin in the game world, and that is the Blue Star Islands.
No one has heard of the Blue Star Islands before?
Oh, this is really not a surprise in Double Moon.
Because the double moon star is really too big, until now, no one has been able to draw the map of the entire double moon star, let alone how many unknown lands and races exist in this world.
Even magicians can't figure it out, because many places in this world are blocked or wrapped by powerful energy, it is difficult to get out of it, and it is even more difficult to get in.
After the Earth players appeared, someone wanted to find out where the Blue Star Islands were. Tracking, torture, temptation, all kinds of methods were exhausted, but they failed to get the exact location of the Blue Star Islands.
Even if the players want to say it themselves, when it comes to important words such as the earth and players, language barriers will appear.
Someone searched for souls and mentally tortured players on Earth, but the players died every minute for you to see.
Gradually, the Double Moon Stars also accepted that the Blue Star Islands were a place where the local aborigines could come and go freely, and it would be very difficult for outsiders to enter, like a secret place. And the blue ball imprint on the tiger's mouth on the back of the hand of the Blue Star Islanders is the key to get in and out there.
Wang Ye may have entered the game with his real body, and the tiger's mouth on the back of his hand was not marked with the same mark.
At this time, there are not many Earth players in Haicao Village, only two or three kittens.
These few people form a companion, cheering each other up and helping each other.
It is really too difficult to do missions or upgrade in this broken game!
The longest one of the three has been here. It has been almost three months since he came to this novice village, but so far he is still at the second level.
The other two are even worse, and they are still in the process of upgrading from level zero to level one.
"Are you still going to play?" This man chose to help the villagers farm the fields. He pulled weeds and insects every day, pulling them to death. He used to want to vomit when he saw insects. will change. "Play. Why don't you play?" The other person gritted his teeth and said, "I decided to go to Ocean University, and now I'm going to sea with a small
boat and I'm not afraid of capsizing!"
Said: "I was about to give up, but last night the system said that I had been promoted to the second level, and I was unwilling to give up like this. I have been picking shit for a whole month!" The other two all burst into
laughter . Although this one came the earliest and had the highest rank among the three, he suffered the worst of the three.
Who told this guy to go fishing when he first came, no. Let him farm, no. Asking him to open stones and polish stone bricks would kill him even more. In the end, this person was still a little bit lustful, and he even fell in love with the village chief's daughter, and romantically sent flowers to others. In the end, the villagers were so angry that they punished the guy who couldn't do anything and wanted to be a village flower to pick up dung.
"The market is about to open, and our opportunity is coming. Such a holographic game like the real world, I don't believe it is an ordinary world. There must be special existence and energy beyond ordinary people here. It's just us Haven't found it yet!" said the excrement picker with clenched fists.
"I hope that there will be more new players. Maybe there will be experience points for pointing out new players?"
"Even if there is no experience value, we can still sell our life experience, upgrade experience, and daily necessities to them. At least earn some copper coins." "That's right, but do the new
players have money? Brother, don't Looking at me this way, the bazaar is the best opportunity to make money. Can you make small commodities? Do you want to get something to sell in the bazaar?" "It's a pity that there are soap,
perfume and glass here, otherwise we can still sell Go online to find out how to make these things, and set up a small workshop here." "
Even if you find out the method, it is not easy to do. Making soap requires a lot of grease, where do we get it? Burning glass is not easy. We have to build a kiln, we have to buy raw materials, we have to blow glass ourselves, and we have to make molds ourselves. The kiln for burning glass is so hot, and there is no air conditioning here. Alas, when I read novels, I thought these things It's so simple to make, but you don't know how difficult it is until you start doing it yourself." "
Hey, you two, can you be a little self-motivated, do you still want to learn skills from your master!" the manure picker was angry.
"Look, we've searched the whole village, but no matter what we want to learn, people always look at us like idiots, what can we do?" The three walked away noisy
.
Wang Ye looked at these three people and thought of himself back then. Uh, maybe he wasn't so miserable back then. After all, when he entered the game, the game had been running for eleven years, and he could find a lot of strategies on the Internet. , all have to be explored by themselves.
However, the first batch of people who entered the game, as long as they persevere later, almost all became the big bosses in the game, and each of them has their own achievements on the other side of the earth.
Without him, if one's spiritual power is improved, one's observation, memory and understanding will be improved accordingly, and even a mediocre person can become a genius.
Those who are clamoring to stop playing games now, after half a year, who will be willing to say such a thing?
At that time, a large number of people with a keen sense of smell poured into the game after receiving all kinds of specious news, which also caused the first large spurt of players in the game world.
"Little Yezi, did you see someone you know?" Lei Mu followed Wang Ye's gaze.
Wang Ye was about to shake his head to deny it, he hesitated for a moment, and changed his words: "I'm not an acquaintance, but I seem to have heard the accent from my hometown, maybe I heard it wrong." He didn't want to lie to Lei Mu, but now it's not suitable for
him Tell Mumu everything. Now that he and the player are from the same place, and his identity is exposed in the future, Mu Mu will not be too angry when he thinks of what he said today, right?
Lei Mu glanced at the passers-by who looked like outsiders: "It's not necessarily wrong, this market is not small, and there are many people who come, maybe there are people from your hometown among them. Where are you from?
" Ye: "Blue Star Islands."
Lei Mu thought for a while: "I'm sorry, I've never heard of this place name."
Wang Ye waved his hand: "Don't be sorry, we didn't communicate with the outside world before, and then something happened. When the passage to the outside appears, everyone will come out to see the world. Mumu, don't tell others about my origin for the time being, even if you meet people from our Blue Star Islands, some things are more troublesome to explain." Lei Mu did
n't Knowing what was going on in his head, he patted the child's head with pity and tenderness, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." "
Mumu, I've already told you where I come from, don't you think reciprocity is a virtue?" Wang Ye took the opportunity to grab Lei Mu's arm and asked.
Lei Mu raised the corners of his lips: "I'm asking, but you don't have to say it."
"Mumu, you've learned badly." Wang Ye said quietly.
"Brother."
"Hey!" Wang Ye replied crisply.
"Stinky boy." Lei Mu scolded with a smile.
"Little Yezi, shall we go play in Haicao Village later?" Haidan ran over and asked in a dazed manner.
His second brother Haiya quickened his pace to follow, and knocked a chestnut on his younger brother's forehead: "Just know how to play. Little Yezi still has work to do, so don't pester him." Haidan pursed his mouth, covered his forehead and complained:
" Second brother, you are so annoying. Little Ye Zi didn't say anything... woo woo!"
Hai Ya pinched his younger brother's lips, making him speechless.
Hai Ya bared his teeth and claws, trying to fight his second brother desperately. He was suppressed by his brother in twos and threes.
Wang Ye heard a light laugh, turned to look at Zhang Hui who was following behind, saw the man raised his head and smiled at him, and mouthed to call him master, he immediately shuddered, and turned his head to stop looking at the pervert.
Lei Mu turned his head, his expression indifferent, and gave Zhang Hui a warning look.
Zhang Hui lowered his head and stopped acting like a demon.
Haicao Villagers built a row of palm leaf houses for their neighbors in the market, one for each village.
There are two big rooms at the front and back of the house, and there is a yard at the back. There is a firepit and a large water tank in the yard.
The anchor let the young people in the village stay in the shop to unload and clean. He took Wang Ye and Lei Mu and walked to the west entrance of Haicao Village.
Zhang Hui also followed them. Let this person stay with the villagers, no one is at ease, so he can only take it with him.
Chapter 35 Visit and Guide
The west entrance of Haicao Village is where outsiders stay. Some of them want to stay on Haicao Island, and some want to use Daji as a springboard to go to a wider world. There are also small businessmen and travelers who cannot afford to rent houses in the village, so they can only live here temporarily.
Including the three players on Earth, they all live here.
The same is true for the Shark family who just arrived, but at least Shark has been to Haicao Island a few times and met some people in Haicao Village. The friendship is not good, but at least there is a face.
For the sake of the neighbor's face, the steward at the west entrance of the village allocated a decent piece of residence for their family. It was close to the col, cool and leeward, with mountains behind and a fresh water stream nearby.
The house is the simplest simple house built with mud and wooden branches, and the roof is made of palm leaves.
It is very hot here all year round. As long as it is not the typhoon season and the wind outlet, this kind of house is not too bad. It is okay to clean up the inside and use it for transition.
Shark's wife was making a fire at the door of the house and cooking when the anchor brought the man over.
The quiet woman's face was a little more sad, and her one-year-old daughter was sitting on the ground beside her with her little butt naked, playing with a handful of leaves in her hand.
"Sister Sha." The anchor called out.
This is the name of Sister Sha. She was the eldest in the family before she got married, and the family did not give her a proper name. When her two younger sisters were born, everyone used to call her Sister Sha to distinguish her from her relatives. sisters.
When Sister Sha heard the familiar voice, she froze for a moment, raised her head, saw it was the anchor, stood up quickly, and couldn't help showing a little excitement like seeing a relative on her face: "Uncle Anchor, you are here. "
"Yeah, isn't this going to be a big fair? The village asked me to come over two days in advance to make some preparations. By the way, I will see how you are doing here and see if there is anything that needs our help. Where are the sharks?" The anchor is natural and authentic.
Sister Sha has a sore nose. It's a good time to be at home. It's difficult to go out. Only when you leave home can you know the pain of leaving home, but the shark is still... "The shark has gone
fishing and hasn't come back yet." Sister Sha said awkwardly: " We just arrived here, and we rented this house thanks to the people Shark knew in the past, but we couldn't pay the rent, and the village steward agreed to let us pay it in a month. There are such people in the family who just open their mouths to eat and drink, and the second time Shark comes He went out to fish every day and came back every night."
"The people in Haicao Village are quite kind." The anchor nodded, and it was not easy for the Shark family to settle down, but he didn't feel sorry for it. The Shark family traded their property for fishing boats, but the village actually suffered a disadvantage. A good and durable fishing boat was much more expensive than an ordinary house in an island village.
Both Shark and his wife knew this in their hearts, so they went without any complaints.
"Look at me, his uncle, and these three, you go in and sit down, I'll pour water for you." "
Don't worry, we just came to see you and see if there is anything that needs help. The boys who came here have nothing to do, I will let them come over tomorrow, whether it is repairing the house, repairing the boat, or chopping firewood and hunting, let them help you." Sister Sha felt even more uncomfortable, and she even cried when she spoke: "Thank
you Uncle Anchor, don't bother..."
Sister Sha didn't finish speaking, tears fell, and she quickly reached out to wipe them away.
When the anchor saw her like this, his heart skipped a beat. Sister Sha looks quiet, but she is actually a strong-willed and strong woman. What happened to her to shed tears in front of the villagers who came over without regard for face?
"Sister Sha, let's go into the room and talk."
Sister Sha didn't know whether she should mention the matter to the anchor, but besides the anchor, who else could she tell?
But she was afraid...
"Mom, I'm back!" Shark's five-year-old son walked back slowly holding a clay pot.
"Good boy." Sister Sha hurried over to take the clay pot from her son. There was no help at home, so she had to ask her five-year-old son to help her fetch water from a nearby stream. Fortunately, the stream was neither deep nor urgent, otherwise she would not have dared to let her son pass by.
The five-year-old boy seemed to be more sensible than two days ago. He grinned at his mother and went to hold his sister's hand to prevent her from stuffing the leaf into her mouth.
Sister Sha looked at her son and daughter, and made a decision in her heart: "Uncle, let's go into the house and talk, there are some things that really need your help."
Sister Sha is a hardworking woman, and the house is very clean. Palm mats were spread out on the floor for everyone to sit and talk. Then let the son take the daughter to play at the door, and watch the clams being cooked by the way. She opened the curtains to make sure she could see the two children.
"Sister Sha, if there is something embarrassing, just tell me, anyone in the village who can help will definitely help." The anchor gave Sister Sha a reassurance first.
Sister Sha bit her lip and said after a while: "I think... the shark is probably sick." "
Oh? What disease?" the anchor asked calmly.
Sister Sha frowned, as if she didn't know how to describe it: "I'm not sure. Shark suddenly became quiet and lost his temper with children. You know Shark, who attaches great importance to his family, he He was reluctant to beat and scold his younger brother like that, let alone his own children. He never even scolded the two children before, but in the past two days, whenever the two children approached him, he became impatient. People pushed them away and scolded them. Both children were frightened."
Sister Sha became sad as she spoke. She thought that life would get better gradually when she came here, but she never expected that her husband, who was the pillar of the family, would have a problem, and it happened right away.
"What else? This doesn't look like a disease." The anchor continued to ask.
A little blush appeared on Sister Sha's face, but she still said: "He hasn't touched me for the past two nights. When I got close to him, he pushed me away and ran to the door to sleep. I thought he had something on his mind and wanted to Want to accompany him. He beat me up, said he was uncomfortable, and told me to get out of here. I thought he was going to leave our mother and son, but he would come back every day, and every time he came back, he would bring back a lot of seafood. Leave it all to me,
and I didn't keep a single child." Sister Sha was extremely contradictory and worried about her husband, she knew her husband, he was definitely not a normal shark: "I suspect he is sick, but he looks healthy , The wound on his body healed very quickly, he had a hole in his chest before, but it healed in less than two days."
Sister Sha took them out of the village and met a stranger in the sea, and the other party Threatening them with the village, the shark killed him.
When the anchor heard this, he looked sideways at Wang Ye, wondering if the shark was parasitized by bugs.
From Sister Sha's description, Wang Ye can basically confirm that the hatched schistosomiasis female worm has parasitized the shark and is transforming and affecting him.
It's just that the shark itself is stronger and more determined, and the female schistosomiasis has just hatched and has only one level, which makes the shark still have the strength to fight.
Sharks may also feel that there is a difference in their body, so they will not let their wives and children get close.
"Actually, there is another reason why we came to you this time. We found a strange corpse on the reef beach, and the corpse was full of insect eggs..." the anchor said slowly.
After listening to the anchor's narration, Sister Sha's face turned pale.
The anchor immediately reassured her, saying that the little leaf, the noble guest in the village, can rid the body of parasites.
Only then did Sister Sha understand why the anchor brought three strangers here. It turned out that two of them were the distinguished guests mentioned by the villagers, and they were also one of the sources of Xiazi's crime.
Sister Sha looked at Wang Ye with begging eyes. She knew that her husband and the pair of brothers were not getting along. She was worried that the two would not help her husband, or would pay a high price for the treatment.
Wang Ye did not make a promise, but said: "Wait for the shark to come back and see the situation. According to the parasites found before, if it is parasitized by a hatched female insect, the best treatment time is within six hours of being parasitized. After this time, the result is hard to tell."
Sister Sha's mood was like riding a roller coaster, ups and downs, just as the anchor gave her hope, Wang Ye gave her another blow.
But this woman is very resilient, and she may be strong as a mother. She straightened her back and bowed to Wang Ye. She was not knocked down because she hoped to be young, and she did not pester Wang Ye like ordinary village women. Ye cried and knelt and kowtowed, insisting that he save the person.
[Mission announcement: Sister Sha, the wife of Shark, a former villager in Haicao Village, asked the player next door Xiao Wang to kill the parasite and treat her husband. According to the degree of task completion, reward 50 points and 100 experience points. May I ask if Xiao Wang next door accepts the mission? ]
"Accept."
There was still some time before the shark came back, and the anchor went back first. The shark had to be rescued, and the business in the village couldn't be left behind. Since it came in advance, some things can be prepared in advance.
Lei Mu told the anchor that he was going to take Xiao Yezi to stroll around, and Zhang Hui was also watched by them.
Naturally, the anchor did not refuse. The two parties agreed to meet at Shark's house in the evening, and then they separated.
"Now that we have arrived at Haicao Village, you can tell where the things are." Lei Mu said without any emotion.
Zhang Hui didn't delay, lowered her head, and whispered, "The thing is under the wall of the sixth house from east to west at the east gate of Haicao Village." "Does
that family know or not?" Wang Ye asked suddenly.
Zhang Hui shook his head: "I don't know. The man didn't tell me too much. He was dying at that time. After telling me the location, he died." "Let's go, go and see the situation first.
" Lei Mu signaled Zhang Hui to go ahead.
One of the three Earth players, a dung picker, suddenly ran up to the three of them, and said enthusiastically, "You three, this is your first time here. Let's see if our village is very beautiful. I know that there are many beautiful scenery. Beautiful place. If you want to shop for goods in the village, I also know which one sells at a moderate price and the things are good. Or I will show the three of you around? Don't worry, I don't want your money, and I won't cheat you, otherwise you can Find the village to sue me. One copper coin for an hour, and you don't have to pay if you're not satisfied."
The other two players suddenly shouted in their hearts that their partner was treacherous, why didn't they expect such a trick.
But it doesn't matter, they have learned it now, and they will go to the pier to pull people later.
The two of them still didn't know that the reason why the dung picker had an "idea" was nothing more than seeing the strange tattoo on Lei Mu's face. He wanted to learn skills and was about to go crazy. Now that he saw such a person who was not like a normal person, he wanted to get in touch with him. If he was lucky, it might be possible for him to walk on the path of extraordinary glory.
Wang Ye: ...he did this trick before.
Lei Mu looked at Wang Ye. Now the richest of the three is Wang Ye. It is up to him whether to hire someone or not.
Wang Ye immediately took out the money bag that he had almost forgotten, and stuffed it into Lei Mu's hand: "Brother, you can do whatever you want, and I will follow your orders."
Lei Mu thought that they would be very attractive if they just walked into the village. Hiring a guide to lead the way would also save the villagers from guessing, so he hired this player.
The player grinned when he heard the reminder from the system in his brain. This method works, he received the task! Although only 5 experience points are rewarded for completing the task, compared to the previous task rewards he received, 5 points are already quite a lot.
"There is a wall around Haicao Village. Only the south entrance allows outsiders to enter and exit, and the north gate is convenient for villagers to enter the mountain. The other two gates are usually closed." The big boy who called himself Pinball introduced while walking: "Haicao Village does not
prohibit Outsiders come in, but outsiders are not allowed to sell goods in the village. You can buy them, but you can't sell them. Do you have anything you want to buy? The dried salted fish in the village is very good, and many merchants will come here to buy a lot and take them away. There are also pearls And the snail beads, those are all made by the villagers with their lives, and there are no fakes."
"There is also a market in the village?" "
Yes, the one in the village is not called a market, it is called a street market, and it is all opened by villagers. There are shops in front of it. , behind is the house. There is a street to the west. If the west gate can be opened, it will be very close from us, but unfortunately the gate is closed all the time." Pinball is very talkative, and
Lei Mu doesn't need to ask a lot, he just said it himself a lot.
This also made Lei Mu feel that the price of one copper coin per hour was very worthwhile.
It may be seen that Lei Mu is very satisfied with his explanation, Pinball became more and more enthusiastic towards Lei Mu: "Brother, where are you from? The tattoo on your face looks really cool and mysterious, don't you..."
"Cool?" Lei Mu interrupted his question.
"This is our native dialect, and it means something very unusual."
"Oh."
Pinball was at a loss, this buddy is a bit difficult to hook up with.
"You just said that the more powerful people in the village live in the south, most of the hunters live in the north, and the merchants in the west. What about the east?" Wang Ye interjected, asking curiously.
Pinball quickly replied: "Most of the east side is the residence of the villagers, but there are also many outsiders who rent houses for a long time, and basically the rich outsiders are concentrated there." "Is it possible to rent a house over there
? Is there any vacant house now?" Wang Ye looked like he really wanted to live in it.
Pinball is not sure: "If it is a normal day, there will always be a few vacant houses over there. But now it is a big market once a year, and many foreign businessmen will come in advance, and the houses over there may be rented out. They have been rented out. But I can take you there to have a look and ask."
"Brother?" Wang Ye raised his head.
Lei Mu took Wang Ye's hand: "Then go and have a look."
So Pinball led the three of them into the village and headed east.
I met villagers on the road, and some people made fun of marbles.
Pinball has been here for almost three months, and because of sending flowers to the village chief's daughter, he is considered a minor celebrity in the village.
"Pinball, is this someone you know? Or is there someone from your hometown?" the villagers asked jokingly.
Pinball shook his head: "No, it's the customers who came to the market this time. I'll show them around." "
Oh, then be careful, and shout loudly if you have something to do." The villagers looked at the three outsiders.
Perhaps because there is a big fair every year, the people of Haicao Village do not reject outsiders very much, but it is also difficult to be enthusiastic about these outsiders.
Although Pinball is also an outsider, he has lived in the village for nearly three months. Although some strange things happened, the big boy is warm and good-tempered, and he is rarely angry when others tease him. Moreover, this kid doesn't care about the pay for his work, and he doesn't make trouble when he suffers. The villagers quite like him and take good care of him. Aiwu and Wudi are also good to the two hometown people who came after Pinball.
Halfway down the East Street, Pinball asked several families, and they all said that the house had been rented out.
After walking a few houses further, Pinball pointed to a house with withered grass hanging in front of the door and said: "The house in front probably has a vacant house for rent. The pillar of their house was bitten off by a wild beast when it entered the mountain some time ago." Pinball
looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "The pharmacist apprentices in the village charge expensive prices, and their family's money may have been emptied. Now is the time when they are short of money. If you don't ask for the entire empty house, as long as the price is right , their family should be able to rent out vacant rooms to you."
