After buying a map on the train, Ye Xiao sat by the window and looked at it, his expression getting weirder and weirder.
All the cities in this world have different names, and there are many more provinces in the Dragon Kingdom.
Handong, Jingzhou, Luzhou, Jinghai...
It seems that there are more than just courtyard houses in this world, there are also many other film and television characters.
My destination this time will take 10 days by train, and then I have to change trains. I really don’t know how long it will take to get there.
Along the way, I listened to singing and reading in the carriage, and everyone was laughing and laughing.
Ye Xiao really couldn't get interested, so he just looked at the scenery outside quietly.
Along the way, people were getting off and getting on, and the people sitting next to them didn’t know how many times they had changed seats.
After a journey of more than ten days, we finally got off the train. When the train entered the station, people rushed down with their things.
Ye Xiao took the bag and followed the crowd slowly without being in a hurry.
I also met a few three-handers, and their loot was confiscated. As for why it was not returned to the owner, Ye Xiao didn't know who he stole it from.
After getting off the bus, someone had already started organizing. There were about ten people traveling with Ye Xiao, almost evenly divided between men and women.
A staff member pointed at a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter and said.
"He's from Shantun. He came here specifically to pick you up this time. Just follow them."
The staff took the list, read out the names, and followed them. It was simple and rude.
Ye Xiao followed with his bag and saw two carriages parked outside, and an Orion sitting on a horse waiting.
Orion said: "This is Wang San. My name is Wang Shengli. Everyone, please sit on it. There is still a mountain road to go behind, and we won't be able to sit in the carriage by then."
After people heard this, they quickly sat on it. We will decide later whether there will be seats in the back.
The group of people were extremely excited and laughing. Ye Xiao looked at everyone.
He gave a cigarette to the hunter driving the carriage and chatted with him about the situation here.
Orion also found that this young man was a little different from the others. He took the cigarette and introduced the situation there.
"We have four small teams in Backing Village. When the farming is busy, they are planting and harvesting crops. At other times, there are people who are responsible for grazing, guarding the forest, and hunting. When you people go, you can choose to live in the educated youth camp, or you can choose to live with us. We, the villagers, live together.”
Listening to his introduction, the others also listened carefully, and they were all very excited when they heard about the hunt.
The hunter looked at everyone's expressions and smiled and said: "Hunting is not easy. There are many wild beasts in the mountains, and people are eaten by wild beasts every year, so you should just farm and herd with peace of mind."
"Third uncle, what's going on guarding the forest?"
Ye Xiao was actually interested in this, so he pretended not to know and asked about it.
"It's not easy to guard the forest. Every year when the mountain is closed by heavy snow, we send people up there, and they stay there for more than half a year. If there is a heavy snow, we may not be able to send supplies, so we have to find a way to eat in the mountain."
"And be careful not to be discovered by wild animals. There are often blind bears looking for food and entering the cabin. It's very dangerous."
He took out another cigarette and handed it over, "Third uncle, how many people are guarding the forest? Isn't it just one person?"
"It's not one person, but it's almost the same, because there are several points on the mountain, and there are people at each point, and the distance is not short, so it's almost the same as one person."
Another educated youth asked: "What if there is danger?"
"Haha~ Just leave it to fate, but they all have weapons. As long as they are more vigilant, there will be no problem. There hasn't been any trouble in so many years."
A group of female educated youths were also talking there, but they looked at Ye Xiao for a long time from time to time.
All the way to the foot of the mountain, we walked a few more miles on the mountain road, and finally arrived at our destination. It looked like it was getting dark.
A skinny old man and a few middle-aged people were standing on the roadside.
They were relieved to see the people back.
"This is the village chief, and these are the team captains."
Orion introduced it.
The village chief said: "Welcome to our Kaoshan Village. You are the first batch of educated youth to come to us. Let's go have a meal first, and then I will arrange your accommodation."
"I can finally eat, I'm so tired."
Other educated youths were carrying their luggage and talking happily.
There were many villagers outside watching the fun, and they were all talking about this Shuiling and that handsome one.
In the cafeteria, Ye Xiao looked at the food and knew that they must have just arrived and made it so rich.
The steamed buns also come with a bowl of meat and vegetables. People in this era are not rich, so those educated youths saw that they still had meat.
One by one, they devoured the food. Ye Xiao looked at the village chief and the others and said, "You guys, the village chief, the captain, the third uncle, and uncle Shengli, eat too. This is so rich."
After listening to Ye Xiao's words, several people also had smiles on their faces, "Haha, you are all city kids. I'm afraid you won't be used to it, so I made it specially for you."
Ye Xiao took a bowl and gave a few people a bowl of food and set it out for them, "If you don't eat, how can we be so embarrassed?"
When the other educated youth heard this, they also hurriedly tried to persuade him.
There were also some young people who were unhappy and felt that Ye Xiao had belittled them.
"Haha, okay, let's all eat together and eat more."
A group of people sat down, and the village chief said while eating, "The educated youth spot has also been cleaned up. If you live there, you will have to cook and eat by yourself every day when your subsidy comes."
"If you live in the villagers' homes, you can give the subsidized food to them and eat with them every day. However, if you don't save your subsidized food, it will definitely not be enough for you. Don't feel that you have been embezzled by the villagers."
Ye Xiao said: "Village Chief, I want to live in a villager's home, but can I find a place with a separate room? I can pay some money and food stamps every month."
"Of course there is no problem with this. Although we are located in the mountains, the houses are very wealthy. The villagers will definitely welcome the conditions you provide."
A team leader laughed and said: "Haha, the village chief is right, even we want to invite you to live at home."
Listening to what they said, Ye Xiao said shyly: "Actually, I'm used to living alone, so that's great. I'm sorry to bother you."
"No trouble~ No trouble, I will make arrangements for you after dinner. Then you have a good rest today and walk around the village tomorrow. I will arrange work for you the day after tomorrow."
Although other educated youths also wanted to do it, but they were short of money, they all chose the educated youth spot because they felt that young people were more comfortable together.
After eating, several team leaders took the others to the educated youth spot.
The village chief took Ye Xiao to a villager's home.
"The place I found for you is a widow's house. Don't think too much about it. His man was knocked down the mountain by a wild boar during a hunting we organized two years ago. He was gone at that time.
Life is really difficult for a widow with two children. If you go, you can be regarded as saving this family. "
