A strange place, strange people, even though Qiao Lan was not afraid, she still felt a little worried.
She could only minimize the system map, determine the number of people around her, and find the little people belonging to Grandma Xiang, Yinque, etc. not far away. Qiao Lan felt at ease and talked to the system in her head.
"How long have I been asleep?" Qiao Lan talked to the system in her brain to relieve her inner tension.
【Bao, you have been sleeping for a day and a half.】
No wonder I have a headache, after sleeping for so long.
"My stomach hurts a little..." Qiao Lan complained.
[Bao, they hung you on the horse, and the horse's back was bumpy. You must have a stomachache after bumping all the way! They have prepared painkiller ointment for you. It is already in the warehouse. You can apply it later.] 1818 said thoughtfully.
Qiao Lan took advantage of the situation and clicked on the system warehouse, and found only 10 grams of ointment in the new location in the upper left corner.
Although it is a little less, Qiao Lan has to sigh that this system is becoming more and more humane.
Qiao Lan endured the pain all over her body and climbed up from the simple straw mat.
Seeing a kettle next to him, he took the kettle and poured himself a bowl of water.
Although it was my first time to come to this place, they must have already done harm to me, and they would not beat around the bush and poison the kettle.
After all, poison is not cheap, and this house is quite shabby.
Qiao Lan finished drinking a bowl of cold water and felt a little clearer, but her stomach hurt and she was still a little hungry.
I don’t know how much food they fed themselves during the entire day of unconsciousness.
Just when Qiao Lan was thinking about whether to buy some food from the system mall to stuff her stomach, there was another sound of footsteps outside the house.
Someone is coming!
Qiao Lan looked at the bedside and didn't see her shoes, so she could only straighten her posture and sit on the straw mat.
The curtain opposite the bed was opened again, and a tall, strong man walked in. The man had dark skin and was dressed in cloth, looking like an ordinary farmer.
It's just this stern face that makes people look a little scared.
Qiao Lan hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to speak: "May I ask this warrior, what is the purpose of bringing me here?"
As soon as Qiao Lan finished speaking, the man stood in front of her and stared at her, still expressionless and silent.
Just when Qiao Lan started to worry, she saw the man move and pull open the sleeves of his upper body, as if he wanted to take off his clothes.
Qiao Lan was shocked! She is an old woman, she can't do it!
Fortunately, the man's movements only stopped at groping for his upper body. He groped for a long time, as if he was looking for something.
Qiao Lan looked at it for more than ten seconds, turning from worried to confused.
Does this man have any strange habits?
Finally, the man seemed to have found something. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Qiao Lan with both hands.
Qiao Lan reached out to take it, and her body temperature was still on the envelope.
But when Qiao Lan was about to pull the letter away, the man didn't let go.
Qiao Lan raised her neck and stared at him. What was she doing?
The man held it in for a while and finally spoke in Beijing dialect with a slight accent. "Are you literate?"
Literate?
Qiao Lan decisively gave the answer: "I know a few words!"
After saying that, the man let go of his hand, gave the letter to Qiao Lan, and said in a rough voice: "Then read it for yourself, I can't read!"
After saying this, he immediately left the house and went outside.
Started walking back and forth outside the door.
Qiao Lan was confused, but she opened the envelope and read it slowly.
After reading the letter, Qiao Lan suddenly realized.
The person who wrote this letter is named Chai Shao, who is the village leader and doctor here.
Entrusted by He Lanfeng, he brought her back from the hands of those officers and soldiers, settled her down, and then sent her to another place.
Because it has rained heavily in the mountains in recent days, many people in the village have fallen ill, and some houses have collapsed. Chai Shao can only go out to buy some medicinal materials and equipment for house repairs.
So he entrusted her to his brother, Chai Yuan, who was also the one who sent this letter.
Chai Shao said that he should directly tell Chai Yuan if he has anything to do.
Although he doesn't like to talk much, he is honest and down-to-earth in his work. However, it is scary to have a cold face when meeting strangers. Please don't worry and be afraid. Don't meet his brother outside. Just call him Chai Laoer.
.
In addition, Chai Shao also said that the conditions in the village were difficult and Qiao Lan suffered a lot.
After Qiao Lan read the letter, the anxiety in her heart faded away.
Listening to the footsteps walking around outside, Qiao Lan thought for a while and shouted: "Chai Erlang?"
The footsteps outside the house paused.
Qiao Lan waited for a while, but there was no movement.
"Chai Laoer!"
The footsteps sounded again, walking in.
Chai Yuan still had a cold face. After entering the room for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Do you have any orders from the queen?"
The voice was small in the second half of the sentence and seemed to lack stamina.
Qiao Lan sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that Chai Yuan, a tall and powerful person, was also a social person who would be afraid of strangers.
Qiao Lan showed a kind smile and said warmly: "I wonder where my maids are. Can you let me see them? I have been sleeping for a long time and I am hungry. Can you prepare some food for me?"
"Yeah!" Chai Yuan responded, nodded, and went out directly.
Seeing this, Qiao Lan opened the small map and took a closer look at the people and layout of the village.
There seemed to be three to four thousand people in the village, distributed throughout the mountains and forests, living around the mountains.
The village is surrounded by mountains and forests and is far away from the town. It is very difficult to be self-sufficient in all items. It is no wonder that Chai Shao has to go far away to buy things.
Qiao Lan waited for a long time and finally saw a few servant girls approaching.
As soon as Grandma Xiang and others entered the room, they threw themselves beside the bed and wiped away their tears.
"Old lady! Are you okay?"
Qiao Lan reassured them, "It's okay. I'm fine, aren't I?"
After meeting several of her maids, Qiao Lan decisively waited for Chai Yuan to make a few requests.
First of all, she wanted to live with her own people, and secondly, she wanted some daily necessities and the right to come and go freely.
Chai Yuan still didn't say much, but satisfied Qiao Lan without exception.
The people in the village were kind to Qiao Lan and sent several chickens to Qiao Lan's yard to help her recuperate.
It’s summer, and there are plenty of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.
Qiao Lan went shopping for several days, and with the system's map function, she already knew the general situation of chickens and ducks in the village.
There are only a few cows, only about 300 chickens and ducks, and about a dozen pigs.
This place is not close to a river, and there is no source of meat. Maybe you can hunt some prey in the mountains and forests, but hunting in the mountains is extremely dangerous.
As for the chickens in her yard, they come from several families.
The village was already poor, so how could she have the nerve to eat the few chickens they had?
Qiao Lan volunteered to teach the farmers in the village how to raise chickens and ducks, and by the way, she delivered a dystocia sow.
The egg-laying frequency of chickens and ducks with improved diets has increased visibly to the naked eye, and sows have a litter of eight litters, all of which are safe!
Even though Qiao Lan didn't do anything earth-shattering, the people in the village looked at Qiao Lan with sparkling eyes!
No farmer can resist such a temptation!
Voice-over:
Chai Yuan: This is the very powerful female queen that Big Brother said. I’m so, so, so, so, so, so nervous!
I haven't had dinner yet today, so I'll finish dinner in the next chapter.
