Chapter 465: Preliminary Understanding
The prices are very low. Although they do not handle the so-called ocean, even the value of sterling silver will not exceed one Ginseng coins. Even if this is a mountain village, it is a bit exaggerated to make a family spend a while.
Food was barely self-sufficient, but the prices of daily necessities were also very low. He found that these silver coins and copper coins were a bit old, and people here were resistant to those paper money.
Precious metals such as grain, salt, tobacco, medicinal materials and gold are the hard currency. These are the information he got when he talked to Xu. Xu is old and always likes to mention some past events as he talks.
His wife is gone, and his parents are naturally no longer there in his eighties. There are a few children, and they are still alive, but they are all on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, no one knows whether a person can come back or not.
Usually when he goes out, he always treats others. Both the patient and the family members respect him very much, but he is unwilling to listen to his nagging little by little when he was young. In addition to the fact that some people are not in the mood to be sick, it is also because not everyone believes what he says.
No one knows whether the things in the world are true or not. There are many people who believe in it. That is the skill of a warrior. But when he talks about the strange man who can control water, many people think he is bragging and taking the trick of selling skills in the world seriously.
But Xie Yue is different. Because of his different knowledge, he knows more. It is very troublesome to argue with someone who knows nothing.
Because the poorer a person has a sense of inexplicable courage and pride. Because the poorer his knowledge is, the more absolute he believes in, and he has never heard of a point of view opposite to this. In his own cognition, what he knows is the truth, so you cannot convince the other party no matter what.
It would be useless even if you put a living evidence in front of the other side, because he would only think that it was a fiction and could not be taken seriously.
Although some things are unreasonable, this is an unreasonable world, and it is a secret that only a few people know, and it is impossible for the public to know.
Because Xie Yue comes from a more magical world, he is willing to believe everything that Xu Bo said is rare. It is also rare to meet such a person, and he also gave him a ginseng whisker of a large age. Xu Bo said it more in detail.
As much as the details of him learning Qi training from people at that time, he did not really get started. All the superficial body-building skills were not prohibited and the people who were exploring outside could do some of them.
He also said a lot of trivial matters, such as the price of rice in war has risen, and more and more people fleeing. There are still some strange deaths in the mountains. When he said it, he was still talking, and he stopped from dusk until the dark genius.
"Young Master, why don't you spend the night with the old man? It's hard to walk on the mountain road when it gets dark."
"No need, there are still people waiting for me to go back. And you are very good at saying that, I am pretty good. This is not difficult for me at night." As he said that, he refused Xu's advice and walked back along the mountain road when he came.
Tonight is a sunny day, and the moonlight shines on the road through the treetops. Looking at the completely different starry sky, he rarely feels relaxed.
On the other side, Aunt Zhao and Ning Rongrong were still watching the cheongsam woman meditating on the ground. As for Xu Xiang, he was driven into the kitchen by Aunt Zhao. She just saw that this boy was always looking at the girl's cheongsam, just like his old man when he was young.
He was immediately driven back to the house. The cheongsam woman was very quiet and had no tendency to get sick again. So according to Xu Bo's words, just wait.
Today, I picked up three people and the man went out. One was a melon baby, and there was a girl left. Aunt Zhao naturally wanted to talk about it.
"Girl, where did you two escape from?" There are obviously many people who fled this year, and the news here is relatively closed. She usually asks for some information from these fleeing people.
Ning Rongrong's answer was very smooth, avoiding the important ones: "I was in the north at the beginning, and I came here as I ran away." The two rascals said that her accent was the northern accent, so she followed the trend.
She could tell that there were wars here and there were many people fleeing, but she didn't know the specific place name. However, Aunt Zhao didn't find any mistakes when answering this way, and without waiting for her to ask anything, the woman in the cheongsam underground opened her eyes.
When she was meditating, she was still a little unrestrained in the world, but just after she finished meditating, her temperament and image returned to its original state, and she looked a little stupid again.
Afterwards, he ignored Aunt Zhao and the others and searched around the ground, and found two pieces of milk candy that had not had time to disassemble the candy paper before.
"Baby, are you stupid?" After greeting, she realized that the girl couldn't speak at all, but then she heard the woman stammeringly say a few words.
"The head... is no longer hurting...the belly...the belly...the hungry." The sentence is intermittent, as if the tongue is knotting, but you can still understand her general meaning from several bumpy words.
"This Qi is really a good thing... This girl has practiced for a while and even her head is much clearer." Aunt Zhao scratched her head. She clearly remembered that when she saved her, she had no reaction to everything outside. She ignored her when she talked to her, and occasionally she would nod and shake her head to express her meaning.
But now, according to Xu Bo, the other party can practice Qi, and he was just practicing. After practicing for a while, he could speak. Of course, she felt it was amazing.
"Old Xu! Is the meal ready?"
"It's almost done, don't worry!"
"Don't worry, there will be food for a while. Do you still remember where you came from? Do you have family members? Let Lao Xu go to the city to ask you tomorrow to see if you can find your family."
"Family... Where..." Aunt Zhao's words made the other party feel deeper into deep thought, but there was no result for a long time and he couldn't say a word. Moreover, as her thinking deepened, it seemed that there was a tendency to have a headache. Seeing this, Aunt Zhao quickly interrupted her thinking.
"I don't think about it anymore. If I can't remember it, I won't think about it anymore. Do you still remember your name?" When she mentioned the name, a trace of charm appeared in her eyes. She seemed to remember something. She opened her mouth but closed it again. Finally, she stretched out her finger to write and draw on the ground.
There was not much dust on the ground, so she finally ran out of the door and wrote three words on the land at the door.
"Feng...Baby, your name is Feng Baobao, right?" After taking the moonlight, Aunt Zhao read it out. Looking at the font that was no different from Douluo Continent, Ning Rongrong confirmed something.
"Traditional characters seem to have not been simplified yet, but there is no big problem."
The business of the Seven Treasures Glazed Li Sect is spread all over the world, and antiques are naturally included. Ning Rongrong has a considerable research on ancient Chinese. Not to mention traditional Chinese characters, even oracle bone inscriptions can be written for you. If the oracle bone inscriptions in both worlds are of the same origin, she can do this.
At this time, Lao Xu also made out the food, a plate of coarse grains. In short, Ning Rongrong didn't recognize what it was, and there seemed to be some weed leaves mixed in it.
A pot of porridge, a plate of pickled radish and some green vegetable leaves seemed to be boiled in water, and there was no meat and fish in it. Not to mention fish in it, she didn't even see oil.
This is the current living conditions here. It is good for ordinary people to be able to starve to death.
"Is that young man not back yet? Do you want me to find him?" Seeing that Xieyue had not come back yet, Old Xu was a little worried about him. After all, in his eyes, he was just an outsider. He was not familiar with the mountain roads. It was okay at dawn, but it was still a bit dangerous when it was dark.
"No need Uncle Xu, I'm back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yue walked back from the side. There was a large cloth bag on her body. It seemed that there were a lot of things, and there was still a lot of fresh soil on the cloth bag.
This was Xie Yue preparing for the spot not far away. It was too strange that they couldn't get things from the soul guide in front of them, and it was too strange that the two escaped people had no luggage at all.
Now this cloth bag is an explanation. They just buried the things first and found a place to settle down. They just dug them out. Although it is a bit far-fetched, it is acceptable.
"Aunt Zhao, please take this little thing, there are not many things to improve your life." After scanning the plain rice on the table, he took out two pieces of bacon from his bag. There was a lot of dry food in his luggage. According to Chen Xin, you are looking for Jian Xin, not experiencing survival in the wild, and prepare in advance when you can prepare in advance.
Although the soul guide has the function of keeping fresh, it is not a freezing time, so most of them are dry food, so it is not difficult to extract two pieces of bacon from it. In addition, there is a bag of rice.
There are not many things, but for a person who fled, it is a huge sum of money. It is enough to stop and give too much is not a good thing for both parties.
Moreover, meat is rare in mountain villages these days, and few families are willing to eat it before they are old. At first, Lao Xu refused a few times, but Xie Yue insisted, and Xu Xiang, who was standing beside him, was staring at it. Adults could still bear it, but it was not easy for children.
After giving Aunt Zhao a wink, she took the thing and walked back to the kitchen. Then a smell of chili came out. In a short while, Aunt Zhao brought out two bowls of bacon, one steamed and the other fried chili, which also made the table more meaty.
It is not suitable to say that it is a dining table, because the only table was ruined by Feng Baobao's headache before, and now it is a higher stool as the dining table. The light is dim and the environment is average, but the smell of meat is already a top-notch configuration for the mountain village at this time.
...........
In the early morning, Xie Yue got up early and planned to follow Lao Xu to the city to see. Most of the meal last night were full, and Ning Rongrong was no exception. Now she could even drink these miscellaneous grains. Xu Xiang's Feng Baobao's bowl was even more clean, so clean that she didn't have to brush that kind.
As for Aunt Zhao, she took Ning Rongrong to find the village chief to see if she could make a vacant house. With those two pieces of bacon, Mrs. Zhao's words today were particularly sharp. She persuaded the village chief to make a vacant house, not far behind her house.
As for Feng Baobao, she was asking Xu Xiang to teach her to speak. Although her thinking was much normal after practicing Qi that day, she forgot many things and lived entirely by instinct.
She knew some things, but she couldn't tell them. She pointed at the cups, quilts, tables and chairs one by one. She learned them very quickly and could remember them once she wanted to take a bite to see if she could eat them.
Xie Yue and Lao Xu have already arrived in the city. Lao Xu’s way of inquiring is very simple. He went directly to a crowded place and asked. Feng Baobao saw that he was from a wealthy family. After so long, if the other party wanted to find someone, he would have let the news come over.
Just ask if there are any wealthy families who have been lost. If not, then Feng Baobao is definitely not a nearby person. He can only ask along the way, and it is impossible for him to devote himself to help Feng Baobao find his family.
He is the only strong laborer in the family. If he doesn't work, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind.
"Uncle Xu, are there any pawnshops or something in this city? I want to go and change something."
Old Xu didn't just go there. He brought some mountain goods to exchange for some money and bought some oil and salt. During this process, Xie Yue also roughly saw the currency of this world. Ocean and copper coins are the mainstream. It is difficult to spend the gold soul coins on him, even the Ginseng soul coins are too unique.
So he planned to find a place where he could exchange money for some money.
"Yes, your Aunt Zhao should find you a good house, and you have to buy two sets of bedding or something. But boy, what you want to exchange for is not something... well... very valuable, right?" said Lao Xu, who looked around, asked in a low voice when he saw that no one was paying attention.
"It's not worth much, just a little trick." Xie Yue took out a very inconspicuous jade bracelet, which made Lao Xu feel relieved.
"It's okay for a bracelet. I'll take you there. Don't talk. They will definitely put the price down to death when you see that you are coming to escape from another place. I can at least exchange it for you."
"But Uncle Xu, is the pawnshop in this place very dangerous? Will they eat black food?"
"That won't be. The pawnshop business may be cheated, but it's not just a robbery. However, it's not peaceful these days. Someone is watching the pawnshop door. If you change a baby alone and don't have any helpers when you go out, it will be difficult for you to come out of this city."
"There are many people?"
"That's not, but they have a guy in their hands. I heard that it is a foreign product that flows out of the mountain city. It is said that he has extraordinary personal abilities, which is similar to the kind of person Xu Bo said yesterday."
It would be fine if I didn't say it, but Xie Yue was only interested when she talked about it. Feng Baobao's half-baked state could not be an opponent. He really wanted to see what Qi training players here have.
He had also visited the place that Mr. Xu said before, but the building was empty and the martial arts hall was no longer there, and it had long become a restaurant. However, it is not convenient for Mr. Xu to follow him now, and he plans to come to him alone another day...
