Chapter 524 A tiny place
After a moment of silence, there were screams. The living people looked at the empty streets and shouted that there is a ghost, there is a ghost.

Qin Yue and the others also pretended to be scared and hid in the corner.

Xinghai looked at Qin Yue with admiration: "Mother, you did it, right?"

"Kid, do you even need to ask?"

"hey-hey."

Soon, officers and soldiers from the Lanling Kingdom went to the scene to check. They found it incredible that the slaves were gone, the slave sellers were dead, and even those who usually ran rampant on the streets lay down lifeless.

It's so weird, their backs are sweating in the hot summer weather.

After a while, an official from Lanling Kingdom came. With a gloomy face, he immediately ordered the soldiers to throw the dead people outside the pass, and then looked around.

Just when his eyes were about to glance at Qin Yue's family, a few hands stretched out from the shop on the street and pulled Qin Yue's family in.

Before Qin Yue and the others could recover, the sound of concealed complaints reached Qin Yue's ears.

"We, you, are risking your lives because you are still watching outside at this time."

It turned out that they were a couple and they were from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Shitou asked: "Why can't you see it?"

"You guys, come on, sit down, I have to teach you a lesson."

Qin Yue glanced at it. This was a grocery store. It was different from the grocery stores in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The groceries here were made of furs and so on, which were similar to those outside.

The family sat down and the landlady said.

"We people from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are the top ones here."

"Why?"

"They despise us and don't treat us as human beings at all."

"Then you are still here?"

"I was destroyed by those bad guys in Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so I came here as a last resort."

"Then why didn't you get raped?"

"There are also good people in Lanling. We met noble people and used the money we earned to help the government, and we gained a moment of peace."

Shitou then asked: "If we didn't come in just now, would they have let us top the tank?"

"It's almost the same. If you can't find the rightful owner, you'll be replaced by someone else. If you don't have the money to manage, you'll have to die. If you have money, you'll be squeezed dry."

"Is this what Lanling Congress is like?"

"It was better before, but now it's very chaotic. The king is not here, and the national advisor is not interested in worldly affairs. However, there is no new leader."

Qin Yue suddenly asked: "We want to find a guide who is very familiar with Lanling Country and can speak both languages. Is there anyone who can recommend us?"

The couple looked at each other: "How much will it cost?"

"You say"

"You can't find anyone without a hundred gold coins."

"One thousand gold coins, accompany us around Lanling, take care of food and accommodation."

The couple looked at each other again, and the man suddenly said: "How about us as a couple?"

Shitou was stunned: "You won't open a store?"

The man grinned: "You can't make much money by opening a shop here, and you've given it all to the government, and you're still worried about it all day long."

"You don't have any children?"

"The couple's eyes turned red."

"Killed to death by enemies of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

"How many more can we have?"

"I can't give birth. I'm already old. We depend on each other, so we can live without force."

Qin Yue looked at it and said: "At forty years old, if you take care of yourself, you can still regenerate."

"No, living in troubled times is also harmful to children."

"Okay, let's pack up. Should we take a car or ride a horse?" The couple thought for a moment: "Let's ride a horse. Do you have a horse?"

"Have."

"Then you go out of the city and wait for us outside the south gate. We can settle here for an hour at most."

"it is good!"

Qin Yue left the grocery store with her family and looked around. There were no shadows of officers and soldiers, and there was no sound of hawking. It was quiet and felt good.

They went out of the south gate, released the whirlwinds, and rested by the official road.

Shitou pointed at the crops on both sides and said, "Look, what crops are grown here? They just sprouted."

"They should be root plants such as potatoes. They are drought-resistant and can survive with just a little water. They are also high-yielding and suitable for this climate."

“We have sweet potatoes over there.”

"Well, don't we also plant this?"

"That's it here. I don't know what will happen if we go further south."

"It's not due south. According to our direction in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, this place is almost close to the north. Because of the yellow sand, it's as hot as a steam room during the day and as cold as an ice kiln at night."

"There are not many trees here, and wherever there are no crops, there are only weeds."

"There is little rain here and it is difficult for trees to survive. Coupled with man-made reasons, everywhere is bare."

"So, if they want to save Lanling, they must rely on themselves. Planting trees is the only way to prevent sandstorms."

"Well, trees can solidify water and soil."

"It can also turn sand into soil, just like Lanling today. If left unchecked, it will disappear from here in fifty years."

Qin Yue and Shitou looked into the distance, you chatting one sentence after another, while the children sat cross-legged on the ground, eating snacks.

It seems like I didn’t have breakfast!
After Qin Yue saw it, she took out a piece of bread and handed it to Shi Shi.

"Come on, eat something to cushion your stomach. I don't know when the next meal will be."

"You can eat dried meat, water or even water. I came from the poor days, so I can eat anything."

That said, after all, he had no martial arts skills and couldn't resist hunger. He took it and ate it in big mouthfuls, and drank the water from the gourd from time to time.

An hour later, the couple arrived as scheduled.

As soon as they met, the two started laughing.

"As a guide, we will introduce ourselves to our home, Xu Qingsong, and my wife, Zhang Yan."

Shitou nodded: "Zhuang Shi, my wife Qin Yue, over there are my children, Haotian, Xinghai, Jing'er, and Yuehua."

"Come on, let's talk on the way."

After getting on the horse, Xu Qingsong's chatterbox opened up.

"I am familiar with Lanling Country because I have to purchase and sell goods. I often move around Lanling Country and the language is familiar to me."

"Then tell me."

"Lanling Kingdom is not a big place. It is equivalent to five cities in Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It has a small population and is easy to manage. Their capital is five hundred miles ahead. They will pass through one city and six towns on the way. Each town is basically the same as before, and their prefectural city is equivalent to our county seat, and the national capital is the prefectural city. "

"In this tiny place, you still look down on us, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"

"In the past, when there was no sandstorm, the people here lived a prosperous life. The main reason was because gold was produced here. Thirty percent of the gold in various countries came from here. They are so rich that of course they will look down on us. If they have money, they will Soldiers, it’s just now. There are not many soldiers. The people live in poverty and many people don’t want to have children. However, they don’t dare to recruit foreign men for fear of betrayal, so they can only buy slaves and free up their own men to serve as soldiers. ”

"No one has a good use for gold."

"Yeah, they don't understand this. They just have a pile of gold and don't care about it."

"What's produced here?"

"Potato seeds, this is their staple food. It's okay now. They bought grain from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and other countries. There is gold, so food is not a problem. This is what they drink. You can buy wine, but not water. Look here. Everyone has a gray face, but if you meet a clean person, they are the rich and powerful. "

"Is the water here for sale?"

"Yes, outsiders, one silver coin per bucket, and native people, one copper coin per bucket. The bucket is just like the wooden bucket we use to fetch water."

"Oh, it's more expensive than oil."

"For outsiders, if you come here, you will be slaughtered. However, one thing is good, that is, as long as you have the ability, whether it is beating people or killing people, as soon as you slap your ass and leave, no one will hunt you down. You can just find someone to support you." It’s not like in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty when everything is done in the jar, it’s still done everywhere.”
