At night, the entire Dahe Village was quiet.
In the yard where Lin Yan and the others lived, they lit a fire and sat around eating barbecue.
Lan Xing said while eating: "I asked, and Lin Yan's guess is correct. This land is indeed called the wilderness. I heard it is very big and boundless. But how big it is, no one has actually walked through it. This is a place where sinners are exiled, so it’s no wonder that the wasteland is full of sinners.”
"The people living here are either exiles or the blood descendants of the exiles. There have been exiles since ancient times, and the age of their existence is unknown. Generation after generation, they have slowly developed into towns and villages. The larger ones There are exchanges between cities and villages, but those like Jingtian Village and Mang Village should not be the queen of sinners."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mang Village and Jingtian Village may be aborigines, just like us. Judging from the architecture and people's clothing and behavior in Dahe Village, they are indeed much more advanced than the aborigines. The non-aboriginals have inherited the traditions of their ancestors The things left behind, such as planting, medical skills, etc., are very different from the indigenous people."
"I heard from them that Ancheng is a big city with a lot of people and a lot of things. If you want to buy and sell, you need money. They use silver, which is similar to our sun coins."
"Have you seen it?" Lin Yan was surprised, thinking that Lan Xing was indeed a good communicator.
Lan Xing chuckled, "Yes, Gu Yi has some silver. He showed it to me. It's a very small piece, about as big as a fingernail. I heard that with three coins, you can buy a lot of things."
Lan Yue: "I saw it too, it's purified silver ore, but it's not as good as what we refine."
Lin Yan understood that the common currency here was silver metal, "How much silver can a cow be sold for?"
Lanxing pointed at the relatively smallest cow in the herd, "That one can be sold for at least twenty taels of silver. Horses are even more valuable. One horse can be sold for forty or fifty taels at least. We can make a fortune by relying on a group of cows and horses. In Ancheng, one tael of silver can buy a hundred catties of rice. But most people have no money, so they still rely on bartering."
Lin Yan said excitedly: "Finally, we found a place with a lot of people. We can go to Ancheng in a few days. Everyone, please be careful and don't be fooled. We are very rich people now."
"We don't have any money. We can't sell those cattle and horses for money, right?" Gao Qiang asked naively.
"We'll see what happens when we get to Ancheng. If there's something good, we'll naturally have to find a way to exchange it for money." Lin Yan felt that he could also use cows and horses when necessary.
In the wilderness, there are many herds of cattle and horses. If you want to tame them, it will only take a little more time.
Blue Star originally wanted to object to the sale of cows and horses, but suddenly thought that with Lin Yan and Lan Yue here, it would not be difficult to tame cows and horses, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "You don't have to worry about money, but Ancheng is a very chaotic place, what?" Everyone uses it, and we are easily targeted.”
As he said that, he glanced at Wen Xue, "Especially a little girl like Wen Xue, who is also a pharmacist and a talent in urgent need. Gu Yi reminded me privately that I must protect Wen Xue."
Lan Yue: "The people in Ancheng are good at fighting?"
"I don't know. But there are many people, at least hundreds of thousands of people. With so many of us, we can't defeat them no matter what."
Lin Yan nodded, "It's hard for two fists to defeat four hands. We have to prepare in advance."
Wen Xue said: "Not many people know that I am a medicine man, and the people in Ancheng don't know it either. I can avoid it by keeping a low profile. Just tell Gu Yi and the others to keep quiet, and I will be safe."
"That's okay. If something happens, we won't necessarily lose in a head-to-head confrontation." Lin Yan didn't feel that he was invincible. Even if he couldn't be beaten, he could still escape.
"Lanxing, have you heard any news about Wu Kingdom?"
Everyone is looking towards Blue Star, this is their ultimate goal.
Lanxing nodded, "Wu Guo is to the west of Tianduan Mountain, and the wasteland is to the east. It is said that Tianduan Mountain runs through the north and south. It is tall and steep, and it is difficult to climb over it."
"Those who committed crimes were driven out by the country on the other side of Tianduan Mountain. They cannot return to their homeland. There is only one way to go. That is to climb over Tianduan Mountain. Whether they survive depends on luck. Often only two out of ten people survive. Third, settle down in the wasteland and gradually develop and grow. Anseong was the first city to develop, and it gathered the vast majority of criminals."
Lan Xing finally said: "Dahe Village is remote and backward, and not much can be found out. If you want to know more clearly, you will find out when you get to Ancheng."
This night, Lin Yan's heart was not at peace. It has been a year and a half since I heard about Wu Guo, and I have been searching around and searching for it, and finally I have some definite news.
No longer blindly wandering around like before, just move towards the goal.
Judging from the information in Dahe Village, almost everything in Anjo follows the old system of the Wu Kingdom. Once you understand Anjo, you will not be far from the Wu Kingdom.
In the next three days, Dahe Village was bustling with activity, and every household was busy preparing things for people going to Ancheng to bring with them to help purchase daily necessities.
Lin Yan and the others walked around and learned more news.
Gu Qing treated them as distinguished guests, and the villagers were affected by this and welcomed them very much, knowing everything.
The most popular among them was Wen Xue. Mrs. Mei followed her almost all the time, and the two kept discussing.
According to Lin Yan's observation, Mrs. Mei's status in Dahe Village is aloof, almost equal to that of the village chief Gu Qing.
I heard that Mrs. Mei lived in Ancheng when she was young. She has a good family education and her medical skills were passed down from her ancestors. Suddenly, her family suffered a huge change, and she moved to Dahe Village, where she stayed for nearly twenty years.
Mrs. Mei selected a few talented children in the village to pass on her medical skills and gain the respect and love of the villagers.
Lin Yan also saw those children. They were indeed smart and eager to learn.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to exchange medical skills, Wen Xue also taught them the writing and language of the Sun Alliance.
On the fourth day, July 18th, the 14th year of the Solar Era, Lin Yan and the others followed more than 30 people from Dahe Village led by Gu Qing to Ancheng, and Gu Yi was among them.
Dahe Village is entirely composed of men, and six women including Lin Yan and Lan Yue stand out even more.
Before departure, Gu Qing and Gu Yi's father and son repeatedly persuaded Lan Xing to leave Lin Yan and the others in the village. It was very unsafe on the road and there was no peace in Ancheng.
How dare Blue Star agree? He was just a deputy team member who was temporarily pushed to take on important responsibilities. He always remembered that Lin Yan and Lan Yue were the ones who had the final say in the team.
Since they left Sun City, all they had to do was to obey absolutely. It was impossible to leave Lin Yan, Lan Yue and the others behind.
If they weren't here, what would the rest of them be doing in Ancheng? Some of them still don't understand why they have to travel through mountains and rivers and go through all kinds of dangers to find Wu Kingdom when they can't live a good life.
It's a pity that Gu Qing and his son don't know this, and the people in Dahe Village don't understand either. They always look at them indifferently, as if expressing dissatisfaction.
