Chapter 146
Chapter 146
Before dawn, the land was shrouded in darkness, but every household had already lit up kerosene lamps, and the scattered lights illuminated the village, which was still in ignorance. The chopped firewood was sent to the kitchen, and the farmers were ready to bring Just wait until you fill your stomach and head to the nearby town.
"A jar of salt really only costs one silver coin, so you can buy ten jars back." The peasant woman wiped her hands on her apron, then counted out twelve silver coins from the pocket of her apron, "I only buy one jar of sugar." ,Do you understand?"
The farmer took the money and asked strangely, "Aren't you going with me?"
The peasant woman rolled her eyes and patted her husband's chest: "What about the chickens and dogs at home? There are also two children, I don't look at them, who knows what trouble they will cause."
There are quite a few half-grown children in the village, and troubles often become beyond the reach of adults.
The peasant woman complained: "They almost burned the barn down last time. Fortunately, they found it early, otherwise they would starve to death this year."
The farmer also feels a headache when he thinks of that incident. There are two children in his family. The eldest son has been busy since he was a child. Although he is a good hand at work, he is also a troublemaker. Gotta wipe their ass.
I don't know how many times I have said modestly, but now the eldest son is getting married, but he still looks like that, not like an adult at all.
"The family has no money now, so we can't build him a house and let him move out." The peasant woman straightened her husband's collar, "Fortunately, Mila doesn't dislike our family."
The farmer also put a smile on his face: "That kid still has some skills."
The peasant woman rolled her eyes: "It's Mira who is young! I only see that he is good-looking, just wait, if he still looks like this after marriage, Mira will soon abandon him."
The farmer didn't argue with his wife, he just ate a few mouthfuls, and then he was ready to go out with the rattan frame on his back.
He opened the door of his house, and as soon as the door opened, he saw two familiar faces that made him feel heartbroken.
"Why are you here?!" The farmer was taken aback and shouted, "Come out through the window again?! Didn't you sleep last night?!"
The brother and sister looked at each other, with the same flattering smiles on their faces, the younger sister hugged his father's waist, while the older brother kept saying good things: "Dad, just take us with you, we can help you with your things. "
With a straight face, the farmer said forcefully, "No, do you know how dangerous it is?"
The elder brother quickly said: "I know, we will be careful, we will do whatever you tell us to do."
He whispered, "And I promised Mira..."
Hearing the name of his future daughter-in-law, the farmer could only sigh and say, "Then you have to listen to me."
The siblings immediately promised: "Definitely! We must be obedient!"
Since the children are all going, there is no reason for the wife to stay. As for the chickens at home, they will not starve to death if they are not fed.
The family headed to town together.
They were fearful and curious, and this small town had always been something they could only see from a distance.
Since the town belonged to the Duchess, even though the farmers didn't know anything, they still noticed something was wrong.
They yearn for life in the small town, but they dare not approach the small town, and sometimes they will kindly remind travelers who want to enter the small town, but because they don't know what is in the small town, let alone evidence, they rush on their way Or travelers who are looking for a place to rest to replenish water and dry food will still go in.
"There was a lot of trouble when the town changed owners." The younger sister jumped up and down in front. She wore two braids and had a lot of freckles on her face. She looked very energetic, "I thought the earthquake happened again .”
"Those people in the town were taken away before, and I don't know where they were taken." The elder brother also said, "I said a long time ago, they must have done something bad."
Parents listened to their chattering conversations all the way and were tempted to kick them in the ditch.
Their family was not the only one on the road, and almost all the surrounding farmers were rushing to the town.
The farmer was a little strange: "Is there a dwarf village nearby?"
They saw a group of dwarves not far away. The dwarves were carrying a backpack almost as tall as them, leading their children to the town.
My brother immediately said: "Yes, when we entered the mountain last time..."
The peasant woman immediately widened her eyes, kicked her son's ass, and cursed, "How dare you enter the mountain!"
My brother rushed forward clutching his buttocks, shouting as he ran: "There is nothing to be afraid of in the mountains! There are no wild animals! You will be too careful, and you can pick up a lot of mushrooms when you go to the mountains after it rains. Where did the mushrooms I brought home come from? Did I grow them!"
The peasant woman couldn't catch up with her son, so she was so angry that she stomped on the spot.
"Don't be angry, it's for the mushroom's sake." The farmer comforted his wife, "But when I went to the mountain, I didn't know there were dwarves living there."
Villages are generally not mixed. Except for that town, almost all races live in groups of their own.
So even though he knows that there are other races in this world besides the human race, the farmer has never dealt with other races.
The farmer whispered: "I heard that the dwarves are very vengeful, stay away from them later."
The peasant woman nodded.
They moved forward slowly, with only two children running wildly in front of them. When they reached the gate of the city, everyone who walked together was stunned by the scene in front of them.
The city gate, which was only half open, was completely opened. The muddy road was rebuilt and paved with square stone slabs of the same size. There were planted flowers and plants on both sides of the stone slab. Looking along this road, the end It is a strange building, just as square as a stone slab, and it is a seamless one, neither wood nor stone bricks.
For the farmers living in wooden houses, this restored town is simply magnificent.
A group of people stood dumbfounded at the gate of the city, looking at the building from a distance. They looked at each other, hoping that the people around them would go in first.
Only when the people who entered came out safely did they dare to step forward.
Anyway, the dead benefactor and the poor monk are the best.
The farmer whispered to his wife: "As long as the first person comes out, we will rush in immediately, otherwise the salt and sugar will be sold out."
The peasant woman nodded vigorously, and the couple geared up to spend all the twelve silver coins in their pockets.
This is the money that their family saved from living frugally for six years.
Other families can only buy two jars of salt at most.
The couple looked at each other with smiles on their faces, but when they turned their heads, their smiles froze on their faces.
Sons and daughters were already running down that road, especially the son, seeing them looking over, raised his arms, showed them the money in his hand, and shouted, "Ten jars of salt and one jar of sugar! I won't buy Incorrect!"
After shouting, the son turned and ran towards the house.
"What, what should I do?" The farmer didn't even have time to get angry, he looked at his wife helplessly.
The peasant woman stomped her feet: "What else can I do! Let's go in together!"
If... If they can come out safely, she must smash her son's ass!
Daughter will be beaten up too!
When the couple rushed out, the neighbors were surprised: "I didn't expect them to be so impatient."
"Hope they come out sooner."
"They are really rich, they can actually take out twelve silver coins."
"It's been stored for a long time. Their family hasn't made new clothes for several years."
"Yes, yes, the whole dress is patched, it's not patched on the clothes at all, it's clothes made of patches."
"If I knew there were cheap salt and sugar to buy, I should have saved money."
"Me too."
As they talked, they looked at the building, hoping that the farmer's family would come out sooner, with the salt and sugar shakers in their hands, so that they could rush in without hesitation.
·
"It's so big!" The first person who rushed into the supermarket stopped at the door. He looked up at the ceiling and could hardly see the edge.
The girl who came in after him threw herself on his back with excitement, shouting, "Salt! Brother! Salt!"
The elder brother quickly threw the girl off his back, and was about to speak when he saw a young woman approaching.
The other party was not tall, with black hair, and she looked like a human race. She was thin, but definitely not dry and thin. Her skin was very white, white and smooth, and she didn't look like she was doing farm work.
"Hello." Feng Ling smiled at them, "What do you want to buy? I'll take you there."
The elder brother was about to speak, when the breathless roar of his parents came from behind: "Salt! We want to buy salt!"
Only then did the two brothers and sisters shiver, be honest.
Parents are not easy to lose their temper in front of strangers, so they can only stare fiercely at the siblings.
They took small steps to keep up with the pace of the woman in front of them.
"What kind of lamp is used here? It's so bright! There's no smoke, and there's no smell of oil."
The two brothers and sisters found out that their parents would not beat them here, so they became bolder again. They looked around and found everything new. If their parents didn't look back at them from time to time, they would have slipped to the side of the shelf.
Feng Ling stopped by the shelf selling salt and sugar, smiled and said to the middle-aged man and woman in front of her, and the pair of children behind them: "Salt and sugar are here, if you need to buy other things, you can call me , everything here can be purchased.”
The farmer had never been in such a place, and the vendors who passed by had only those kinds of goods, and they never had a choice, so he said embarrassingly: "We only brought twelve silver coins, and we can't buy anything else. ..."
Feng Ling still kept smiling: "As long as you come to shop, even a copper coin is our guest, so don't be so restrained."
"Although we can't pay on credit here, we can also barter."
"If you have the goods you fancy and don't have enough money, you can take them first and find out if you have any items that can be exchanged. Maybe you can exchange them."
After speaking, Feng Ling stepped aside and let the family choose by themselves.
The farmer stood there in a daze.
In this world, is there such a good place?
Are there shops like this in big towns?
