Chapter 107
"No, I just think the terrain is very strange. After coming down from Jiuchong Mountain, it is almost all plains. Apart from the thick snow, there are only white poplar trees with all their leaves left, growing straight on the ground. It must be very cold here in winter. How do these people live here? Why not live under Jiuchong Mountain?"

"It is said that this place no longer belongs to any country, but there are also the most primitive residents here, who have lived here for generations. In addition to farming, they almost rely on hunting in winter. Maybe you are too vigilant, relax a little , even if there is danger, we still have to get in touch with them and understand the local terrain."

Seeing Yu Luo like this, Yu Haojie explained to her in a low voice.

"I have already made an agreement with them that if we stay overnight near their small village tonight, we will set up tents. After all, there are so many of us, and their houses are relatively simple and narrow, and there is no room for us at all."

"An Shizi, a dozen families suddenly appeared here, is it too strange? After crossing the Jiuchong Mountain, isn't it a barren area? This doesn't belong to any country. Could these people be bandits or something? ?”

Yu Zhengqing brought back the news he had heard, and told everyone, who knew that not only Yu Luo was suspicious, but also Bai Xiuyuan, the second roommate of the Bai family, couldn't help but wonder.

"Where do so many bandits come from? This bandit lives in this icy and snowy place, why don't they go to Jiuchong Mountain? At least there are caves in Jiuchong Mountain, which is warm in winter and cool in summer."

After Bai Xiuyuan finished speaking, Yu Xiaoxuan said disdainfully.

Hearing this, Yu Zhengqing, who was happy, also corrected his expression, and said again, "No matter what, although we don't have the intention of harming others, we must have the intention of guarding against others. At that time, everyone, don't run around and stay as far as possible. Those who have children in the tent, watch the children, and none of you are allowed to come into contact with people in these villages without authorization."

"Shizi An is right, how can anyone who can live here be a good person? Anyway, we just need to be more thoughtful. It's getting dark today, otherwise we all have to walk a little longer and don't spend the night here. "

Liu Mingxia's expression became solemn. It had been three days since he had been down Jiuchong Mountain before he saw any people. He had to be on guard.

"Yes, Brother Liu is right. Everyone is more considerate anyway."

With Yu Zhengqing's warning, everyone's hearts were not as happy as they were at first, and Liu Mingxia also followed suit, making everyone's mood even heavier.

"In that case, let's stay away from those stone houses and set up tents again. A little further away will make us feel more at ease."

Even though Bai You was a magistrate before, he was actually very timid. Seeing that everyone was going to set up tents, he hurriedly and cautiously reminded him.

Seeing this, Yu Zhengqing stopped forcing them and asked them to set up tents and make a fire to cook. He went to communicate with them to see if he could get a few sleighs and if he could find out something useful.

When Yu Zhengqing came to the small village again, the man was already waiting behind the house with the village chief.

"Aren't there many of you?"

"Well, in order not to disturb your lives, I asked them to set up tents there to stay."

"Living in a tent, the wind is very strong at night. If the wind blows, the tent will be blown away. It is better to live in our village. Although we live in a stone house, the wind does not come in. We can light a charcoal fire at night. That’s it.”

"Yes, this is our village chief, elected by our village of more than a dozen families. Since our village chief has invited us, brother, you don't have to be polite."

Seeing how enthusiastic the people were, Yu Zhengqing kept the smile on his face and still declined.

"Our tent was originally prepared for coming here. It has been like this for the past few days. There are too many people and it must not be crowded. Thank you for the kindness of the village chief. By the way, is there any spontaneous tent in your neighborhood? Bazaar or something? And do you have a car for the snow?"

"Yes! I just heard from Shitou that you want a car?"

"Yes, yes, if there is a car in the snow, everyone can save a lot of effort."

"This car can do it for you. Compared with the horse-drawn carriage, it can run smoothly in the snow, but..."

"Don't worry, money is easy to come by. Village chief, let's see if you have done anything here. Can I take a look first?"

Seeing that Yu Zhengqing agreed so readily, the village chief nodded, showing no reaction on his face.

"That's no problem. We definitely have the market you asked about here. Although we don't care about the area, there are still thousands of original residents. Although they are scattered far away, on the 15th of every month, we will be at Fifty Miles They exchanged supplies at a small market outside.

I don't want your money, do you see anything that can be exchanged with us? "

While speaking, the village head led Yu Zhengqing and his son to the place where their stone houses were gathered.

Looking at the closed doors, there was almost no sound around, and even the children seemed to be carried into the house. Yu Zhengqing felt that everything was weird.

"I don't know the village chief, what supplies do you need?"

"Food, clothes... It would be better if there were women, we need to carry on the family."

Yu Zhengqing....
The first two are quite normal, but the latter request made Yu Zhengqing speechless.

"Dad, have you forgotten the two women we rescued from the bandits? Ask them if they are willing to stay here. After all, they are following us, and we will not be able to control them forever."

Just when Yu Zhengqing was speechless, Yu Xiaoxuan suddenly came close to his ear and whispered a reminder.

Hearing this, Yu Zhengqing's frown suddenly relaxed. At this moment, his heart was moved.

"This is the cart we use on weekdays, but we are pulled by wolves. Your horses may not be able to run in places with thick snow. In fact, we don't have horses either. We have to try it out to find out."

Looking at the carriage in front of him, which didn't even have wheels and relied only on a few polished wooden boards, Yu Zhengqing was stunned.

"Is this the car you were talking about?"

"This car has no wheels, how can it run?"

As soon as Yu Zhengqing finished speaking, Yu Xiaoran couldn't hold back her curiosity, and hurriedly asked.

"The snow is inherently slippery. Put this flat board on it and let the wolves run in front of you. It's easy to run in the snow."

Seeing the village chief's explanation, several people were still a little surprised. Unexpectedly, at this moment, brothers Yu Haojie and Yu Yongcai walked up!

"That's it. Can I call a taxi?"

Yu Junjie thought that people in this era had already invented the sleigh. When he came up to take a look out of curiosity, he was dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about? If you don't like it, then I won't change it with you. Anyway, there are only three cars in our village."
