survival in the wilderness

Chapter 294 Into the Village
Lin Yan was very excited when he went around the hill and saw the neat and neat fields.

Sure enough, as the old man Mu said, people here live by farming.

The large stretches of fields are green and swaying with the wind, like green water waves stretching endlessly.

Near the foot of the hill, a large number of houses are scattered, and at a glance, one can tell that the village here is very large and must have a large population.

Before Lin Yan and the others continued to move forward, there were dogs barking one after another, and someone came towards them.

Taking a closer look, there were nine people, all wearing coarse clothes, straw hats, and holding wooden sticks, staring at Lin Yan and the others unkindly.

They stopped because they saw the cows and horses under them, they were fierce beasts, and they were naturally afraid.

Lin Yan stepped forward and said in the dialect he learned from Mang Village, "We came from Mang Village, is this Jingtian Village?"

The people on the opposite side muttered to each other for a while, then a strong man stood up and replied, "This is the well field, are you from Mang Village?"

"That's it."

The strong man glared, and asked loudly, "You're not from Mang Village, what are you doing here?"

Lin Yan signaled them to be safe and calm, "Don't get angry, we are not from Mang Village, but we lived in Mang Village for a cold season. We came here on purpose. My name is Lin Yan, what's your name?"

The strong man saw that Lin Yan, a little girl, was not timid, and he was a little more on guard, especially when he saw the strong cattle and horses riding under them, he did not dare to act rashly.He said: "My name is Jing Cheng, you are not from Mang Village, where did you come from?"

"Sun Alliance, a place far away." Lin Yan was generous, as if he couldn't see the vigilance in the eyes of the opposite person, got off his horse and took a few steps closer.

She said: "We are all from the Sun Alliance. We came out to look for Wu Guo. We passed by your village and wanted to stay for a few days. Can you let us enter the village?"

"No." Jing Cheng refused without hesitation. This group of people seemed difficult to deal with. How could someone who could ride a beast dare to let him into the village so easily.

"Don't rush to refuse, we don't live in vain, there are gifts."

Lin Yan turned back to Lan Xing and said, "Hurry up and bring the gift we prepared."

Without further ado, Lan Xing called a few people to take out three fat prey, two big white rabbits, and a fat wild boar from the back of the cattle behind the team.

This is what they hunted on the road, and there happened to be an ox that didn't need to carry people, so it was used to release prey.

Since they have cattle and horses, they no longer have to worry about carrying too much weight, and they will not let go of the small prey they encounter on the road.

The approach of Lan Xing and the others made the people on the opposite side even more nervous. They subconsciously clenched their sticks, ready to attack at any time.

Lin Yan smiled innocently, "Don't be afraid, these are our companions, this is Lan Xing, Jian Fang, Tian Zhong, and Lu Yu."

The four smiled at each other.

Lan Xing said heartily: "Jing Cheng, these prey are gifts from us to Jing Tian Village. It's the first time I came here and I brought some food. I hope you like it."

Jing Cheng looked at Lan Xing and the others, and then at the things in their hands.

Lan Xing was carrying a plump big white rabbit, weighing at least fifty catties.

Jian Fang and Tian Zhong carried a big black wild boar. It was fat and strong, and its fangs were even more glaring in the sun.

It is not uncommon for villagers to hunt big white rabbits.But most people would never dare to provoke that big fat pig.

Jing Lie behind Jing Cheng couldn't help saying: "Is it really for us?"

That big fat pig has a lot of meat, who is willing to take it out.

In this era where food is the most important thing, there are too few people who can have a full stomach, and people value food more than anything else.There is no reason to push out the meat delivered to the hand.

Lan Xing smiled and said: "Yes, this is a gift specially prepared for you. We just passed by here and wanted to go to the village to rest for a few days. There is absolutely no malice."

Jing Cheng was not so eager, and asked, "Did you hunt the big fat pig on the road?"

"Yeah, it took a lot of effort for so many of us to hunt together."

Jing Cheng took a closer look at the person opposite, and it is possible to hunt a fat pig together.Looking at the damaged clothes on their bodies, the vigilance in their hearts was a little less.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I can't let you enter the village now. After discussing with the villagers, you can enter the village only if the villagers agree."

"Okay, you go back and discuss it, we will wait here and never go in." Lan Xing smiled and was very easy to talk to.

They rushed to Jingtian Village to inquire about the news of Wu Kingdom, so they must not offend people.

The opposite side sent two people back to the village, and both Jing Cheng and Jing Lie stayed behind.

Lan Xing and Lu Yu leaned forward and became friends after a while.

Lin Yan could tell that Jing Cheng and the others were more willing to talk to Lan Xing, maybe because she was a girl, and the other party felt that he could not make decisions.

Wen Xue secretly laughed: "They never imagined that you and Lan Yue are our leaders."

Seeing that the people on the opposite side are all strong men, without a single woman, one knows that the men in Jingtian Village are absolutely responsible for force, but they don't know the status of women in their village.

She was looking forward to it. When Jing Cheng and the others knew that Lin Yan and Lan Yue were the team leaders, their expressions would be wonderful.

Lin Yan disagreed, "You don't need to care about judging people by their appearance. We're not here to fight, and there's no need to show our strength, so let them think so. It might be better to communicate with Lan Xing later."

Lan Yue also thought it was a good idea to do so.

Blue Star and the others can communicate better with each other, as long as the relationship between the two parties can be harmonious.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Lan Xing had already called Jing Cheng and Jing Lie brothers and sisters, enjoying themselves happily.

The people from the village finally arrived. Two people went back, but more than ten came.

When Jing Cheng saw someone coming, he hurriedly pulled an old man over and said, "This is the Jingchang clan elder in our village. Tell the clan elder what you have to do."

The big and small matters in the village are decided by the clan elders, and they just follow orders.

Of course, there are more than a dozen elders in Jingtian Village, and this is only one of them, who is responsible for managing all the things in the area where Jingcheng and the others live.

Outsiders came to the village, which was a big deal. When Jing Chang heard about it, he hurried over with his people.

A face-to-face meeting, first looked at the other person, and then looked at the prey on the ground over there, saying it was a gift.

Jing Chang went up to meet him with a smile, and said to Lan Xing: "It's okay to let you enter the village, but you can only stay at the head of the village, and you can't go wandering in the village. The cattle and horses you brought must be managed well, and they must not hurt anyone. Nor can it harm the crops in the field."

Those prey were very fat, and Jing Chang was very excited. In fact, everyone in Jingtian Village was very excited.

But he didn't want other people in the village to know that once it was publicized, other clan elders would definitely come and take some of it away.

The life of every household is not rich, and there are too few people who can barely fill their stomachs. If anyone is not hungry, they are naturally unwilling to share the meat they can eat with others.

Lan Xing fully agreed, as long as he could enter the village.As for Jing Chang's small thoughts, don't worry about it.
