Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 577 Infinite Flow Cannon Fodder (24)

'If nothing unexpected happens, Gouzi and other people in the village will be back today.'

After Shen Yao said the word "gouzi", she felt inexplicably embarrassed. Well, it was just a casual word. After all, he was a man in this body.

The system is unaware and insensible, and the implication of "no surprises" is that surprises will happen.

Otherwise, why would this body faint and fall to the ground? It would be because it had a premonition.

At the end of the dynasty, the local area was unstable and demons and monsters appeared frequently. Living in such a small village did not mean peace and stability for them.

"Go and keep an eye on it. If there's any movement, notify me immediately," Shen Yao waved her hand to let the system go to work, while she took the opportunity to observe the residence.

She was not feeling well when she came here yesterday, and it soon got dark, so Shen Yao had not been able to go out.

Now that I have the opportunity, I certainly can’t miss it. I’ll first look at the surrounding environment and then consider what to do next.

She was still wearing a top and skirt, and her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin.

Shen Yao took out a mirror from her space backpack and took a quick look at the appearance of this body.

It looks about 50% similar to himself, but because of years of eating coarse food, this body is thin and has a sallow complexion.

In addition to a wooden bed that creaked when sleeping on it, the room also had a wooden table at the door and a wooden cabinet for storing clothes.

The jar for grain is placed in the kitchen behind the door, and there are also some daily seasonings in it.

It is spring now, and it is the time of shortage of food. Every household does not have much surplus food. The reason why the man in this body went up the mountain with the villagers was because he wanted to fill his stomach and feed the child in Shen Yao's belly that he had finally gotten.

If the body is not well nourished, pregnant women are very likely to have miscarriages. The couple had been married for several years and finally received the good news. How could they just watch something go wrong?

Shen Yao walked around the house twice and got a better understanding of where she lived.

Well

how to say?

It was one of those mud houses, short, dilapidated and with a musty smell.

The front of the yard is surrounded by a not-so-high fence, and there are two not-so-big vegetable plots where vegetables have just been planted but have not yet sprouted.

At present, their family, or rather the entire village, relies on wild vegetables from the fields or the cabbage and radishes left over from the winter for their meals.

There wasn't much food in Shen Yao's house. Fortunately, she brought a space backpack with her when she came through, which contained a lot of supplies purchased from the system mall. Otherwise, just adapting to life in the ancient village would be enough to give her a headache.

"Host, there is no movement on the mountain. There is a thick fog there. It seems that they will not be able to come back today."

The system came back and told Shen Yao some bad news. The village head was discussing with his sons about moving to the county town. They said that there were restrictions on the purchase of food outside and there were refugees, so it would be safer to go into the city.

'Refugees? Food purchase restrictions? Is it safe to enter the city?'

Shen Yao looked up at the center of the village. There was a blue brick and tile house, which was the residence of the headman.

The richest person in Liushu Village is the head of the village. He has several sons, and his sons have grandchildren. Even his nephews, who are only slightly more distantly related, can enjoy the benefits brought by the head of the village. This shows the value of relatives in ancient times.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

"Yes, in recent years, there have been frequent disasters in Sheng country, grain production has decreased, and people have been reduced to refugees." The system has also heard the big guys in the city talk about it. It explained that Shanqing County has also been in a food shortage recently. The big grain collectors don't have much grain, so they want to raise the price and make more money.

As for limited edition? That is a means to create a sense of urgency and force people to buy.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao turned around and went back to her room, and cooked the remaining food in the kitchen and stuffed it all into her space backpack.

System: ...Hmm?

"Be prepared in advance, as he might run away." If the headman ran away, she wouldn't be able to stay in the village for too long.

Even if you have to live in the mountains, it is better than maintaining your persona in an unfamiliar environment while guarding against natural and man-made disasters. It would be exhausting.

In the end, Shen Yao took out only three taels of silver from the earthenware jar under the bed. It was all the money that the couple had saved over the years.

Shen Yao could easily tell the difference between the gold bars, silver nuggets and related accessories taken out from the space backpack.

The ancient purification methods were still too crude. No matter in color or quality, they were inferior to the things in the space backpack.

It seems that even if you want to sell it, you still have to consider the safety issue.

Put them all away first.

Shen Yao spent half a day busying herself at home. After noon, a woman came to call her. Shen Yao picked up a basket and followed her to the foot of the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

Even if they had to force themselves to smile along the way, the women were able to successfully resolve Shen Yao's problems with their own ideas. After all, the dog didn't come back, leaving only a woman at home. Isn't it normal to be frightened?

The wild vegetables were growing luxuriantly in clusters, otherwise the villagers of Willow Village would not be able to stay there. They picked all the green wild vegetables in just a few moments. Some felt that the baskets were not full and wanted to go into the mountains to have more look, while others resisted and were afraid, so they stayed where they were, carrying their baskets.

Because Shen Yao was pregnant, she did not follow the people ahead into the mountains for the time being. Instead, she returned to her residence first and put the wild vegetables into the space in her backpack.

Thinking that nothing happened, she decided to take a nap. Unexpectedly, the system suddenly yelled in her mind, indicating that the person who had entered the mountain had returned.

came back? !

Shen Yao was startled and turned around and ran out.

Many of the people who went into the mountains this time were the pillars of their families. As long as they were not doing too badly on a daily basis, all their relatives would come out.

Before she even reached the destination, Shen Yao heard crying.

Subconsciously stopping, steadying her body and supporting her waist and abdomen as she walked forward, Shen Yao immediately noticed Xu Ningchen standing next to her.

Oh

Xu Ningchen was in a very disheveled state, with blackened blood on his body, his combed hair scattered behind his head, and a long-dead wild deer lying at his feet.

The two of them didn't need to say much, they could recognize each other just by looking at each other.

But there were so many people around and Shen Yao raised her hand to touch the corners of her eyes, and the accumulated tears fell instantly.

"Gouzi's wife, stop crying. Gouzi has hunted a wild deer and you two can have a few months of peace."

"Yes, yes. A wild deer can be sold for a lot of money. Gouzi's trip up the mountain was not in vain."

"Well, Gouzi is lucky. Not only did Wood and Stone not hunt the deer, they didn't even come back."

"..."

Shen Yao noticed that everyone who came back had blood on their bodies, and some even had injuries.

She didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head and walked to stand in front of Xu Ningchen.

After a while, the head of the village arrived with the village doctor.

First, he asked the village doctor to help check on the people who had returned, and then he tried to comfort them with words, saying that all the wild animals brought back this time could be sold to him.

Originally, the village head did not collect wild animals. Even if the village head was rich, he could not compare with the wealthy families in the county town. Wild animals have always been the favorite of the wealthy families.

But now some of the people who went into the mountains were injured, and some never came back. These wild animals urgently need to be sold in exchange for silver for treatment and arrangements.

The village head thought about the climate changes in recent years and had long planned to move into the city.

After all, wild animals are considered gifts, and giving them as gifts is a sign of respect.

Suddenly, several families sold the wild animals they had hunted to the village head in exchange for silver.

Farmers who cannot read a single word would rather stay in their current situation than move to the city. Moreover, the county town is not a paradise and some families often oppress the people.

Not many of the wild animals brought over could be sold at a good price. Most of them were sold under the influence of intimidation and coercion from others, and the animals returned home quietly with the not-so-much money.

Xu Ningchen did not sell the wild deer to the village head. He planned to go to the county town to take a look at the situation and find a reasonable excuse to buy some supplies for his family.

The village head had no complaints about this. Even if he had money, he couldn't spend it so lavishly.

Since Xu Ningchen is unwilling to sell it, just take it back and bring it into the city yourself.

They stayed there for a while and then went home with the others.

Shen Yao followed behind Xu Ningchen, and the wild deer was dragged by Xu Ningchen in front.

Soon, a dilapidated mud house appeared in their sight.

Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao walked in one after another, and the wild deer disappeared in Xu Ningchen's hand, and it seemed that it was obviously put into the sticker space.

"dog"

Xu Ningchen: …

Xu Ningchen washed his hands helplessly and said that there were still a few dead wild animals in his space, waiting to be taken to the county town to sell them early tomorrow morning.

Shen Yao patted Xu Ningchen on the shoulder and asked curiously what was going on with this man. Just like she was lying on the bed when she came here, did he also appear in the wilderness when he came here?

Xu Ningchen took off his clothes and threw them on the ground, then took out toiletries from the sticker space, and using the clean water at home, he gave himself a quick and simple bath.

"When I became conscious, I was on the mountain and got separated from the others. I hunted these wild animals alone," Xu Ningchen said that their reunion was purely coincidental. There were wild wolves on the mountain behind Liushu Village, and they were chased and had to flee separately.

"Originally, wild animals in the mountains shouldn't be like this, but there hasn't been much rain in recent years, so some medium and large wild animals will choose to go down the mountain to fill their stomachs."

The group of wild wolves they encountered were active in the mountains and forests. Perhaps after a while, the wild wolves would run into the houses living at the foot of the mountain.

"Willow Village is still too dangerous. We need to leave as soon as possible if possible."

Xu Ningchen felt that they had to move to a safer place to live. In three months, who knew what would happen during that time.

"The management here is strict. Without the credentials of the head of the village, the two of us can't even go to the next county town."

Shen Yao told Xu Ningchen the news she had gathered over the past few days, and mentioned the name of the copy - Alternation between the Old and the New, which might refer to the war.

The Sheng Dynasty has already declined, and there is also the drama of the princes seizing power. With internal and external troubles, can the Sheng Dynasty still exist?

"We will go to Shanqing County early tomorrow morning to check the situation. As for the credentials of the village head," as long as they have money and give the village head enough benefits, there is nothing they can't get.

The head of the village was a greedy and timid person. He usually acted arrogantly in Liushu Village, but he didn't dare to go too far, for fear of arousing public anger and causing harm to his family. That was why he had been the head of the village for so many years.

"I'm worried that some uncontrollable problems will arise in three months, so why don't we move to the city first and think about the rest later."

Shen Yao suggested that Xu Ningchen should just do it in one go. Since he wanted to bribe the head of the village, he should just spend a lot of money to get all the certificates. They didn't have to live in Shanqing County. With the certificates, they could go to other counties as long as they didn't leave the scope of Yuanli County.

"Wait for me at home," Xu Ningchen looked through his sticker space, and finally took out two relatively plump wild rabbits and went to visit the headman's home.

By the way, Xu Ningchen did not just want the certificate, he also asked the village head about the government office.

When Xu Ningchen came back, he told Shen Yao that they would go into the city early the next morning and would not return to Liushu Village.

Willow Village is just a novice village. According to most people’s thinking, they must stay in Willow Village first and wait for the situation to happen before making follow-up arrangements.

But Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen are not the kind of people who like to be passive.

Besides, three months is neither long nor short.

The two of them were also wondering if they could find hidden information to earn extra points.

Oh, this time when you enter the dungeon, there is no prompt for how to earn extra points, but it does not mean that this dungeon has no relevant regulations.

All they can say is that the method is hidden well enough, and they need to rely on themselves to try to discover it.

Without further ado, the two finished their dinner and lay down to rest early.

When it came to early morning again, the two got up from bed, washed and ate.

Because they had no means of transportation, they moved forward on foot (in deserted or uninhabited places, they could use the tools in their backpacks) until a city appeared in front of them.

There were three big characters "Shanqing County" written at the city gate.

The two lined up to pay the fee. After entering, they first went to the clothing store to buy clothes, then went to the jewelry store to buy accessories, and finally found a corner to take out the wild animals in the space, and knocked on the door of the rich house to promote and sell them.

Xu Ningchen had several wild deer and wild boars, and even a few nests of wild rabbits and pheasants.

The tools in modern society are very advanced, and these wild animals can basically be killed with one blow. The fur and meat quality are not affected for the time being, so they can be given the highest price.

Xu Ningchen earned fifty taels of silver by selling these wild animals.

Under normal circumstances, he might not even get half of it, but the current situation is special.

The wealthy families were not short of money, but what they lacked was the game to eat.

Then, the two of them hurried to the carriage and horse shop in the county town, spent money to buy a carriage and a mule to pull the carriage, and then went to the rice, flour, grain and oil shop to buy supplies. When they finally left Shanqing County, they had less than ten taels of the fifty taels of silver left.

Of course, these ten taels of silver were spent in the government office. Issues such as travel permits and household registration all required money to be successfully resolved.

They did not plan to return to Liushu Village, so after leaving Shanqing County they drove directly to Leshui County.

Then go down along Leshui County to the central plains area.

It is the capital of the Sheng Dynasty and is also a relatively safe place.
