This is the anti-theft badge, 50% anti-theft, 24 hours. The reason why Wu Qingyuan decided to choose Lin Laogen to help him at once was because he was confident.

Whether before or after the end of the apocalypse, he has a lot of experience. Just a few words can tell who Lin Laogen is. A country man who can pack noodles into bamboo tubes and take them home will not be slick, look for this This kind of work may not be so efficient, but it is reliable.

After getting a bowl of Yangchun noodles and half-pipe copper coins, Lin Laogen's face was about to burst into laughter. He put the copper coins in his purse, and he began to ask Wu Qingyuan for news and where to find him.

This time, asked Wu Qingyuan. Don't look at him eating noodles, and generously paying travel expenses first. In fact, he didn't have any money on him.

There are quite a few gold bars in his space, but he is not ready to take them out for the time being. The size of the gold bars is not small. Anything you take out will be rich in this small town, and it is easy to cause trouble. The only money he has now is to disembark the merchant ship The son thanked him for helping him, including his clothes, because of the common sense of modern navigation he told him.

So he couldn't live in the inn until he got the money.

"Hasn't you decided where to stay, little brother?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Laogen couldn't help but ask tentatively.

He saw a lot of people like Wu Qingyuan at the pier, and from what he was wearing, he could guess a little bit of his difficulty.

Of course, he didn't guess Wu Qingyuan's real situation, he just guessed that he just said that he was here to find someone, so he must settle here before finding someone. Living in an inn is not cheap, and Wu Qingyuan doesn't look like he can live for a long time. people, so the question of where to go is a little worried.

"Yes, uncle, I'm not very familiar with this place. I haven't decided where to live yet. In addition to finding people, I also want to find a village here to settle down. It's just that I encountered a shipwreck before, and the official documents on my body prove that all I got into the water, I don’t know if I can settle down here, and the surrounding villages, I don’t know which one is suitable…”

Wu Qingyuan nodded without concealment, and at the same time, he said what he wanted to settle down.

He also learned about the settlement and settlement while on the boat. The population of this place is incomplete and the management is not strict. heard that there was a rare famine in the Xia Kingdom more than ten years ago, and many people died. When the population is strong, it is not difficult for a strong laborer like him to settle down.

While talking, he observed Lin Laogen's expression, and saw that the other party's face was normal, not showing a strange color because he had no identity certificate, but a little sympathy, Wu Qingyuan was relieved.

"That's it, then why don't you go back to the village with me, little brother, go to my house for a few days, and I will help you to inquire about the relative you mentioned. If you can find someone, you can go directly to the relative. If not, you Think of a way... I still have a room in my house, you can go to my house for a while and give me ten, no, eight cents a day, it's much cheaper than an inn!"

Most of the country people are simple. He has a good-looking appearance and a good temperament. He doesn't look like a bad person. Lin Laogen never doubted his words or his identity. He enthusiastically helped him find a way. Of course, the last sentence is the key.

"Okay, then thank you uncle."

After talking for a long time, he was earning extra money for his family. Seeing that Lin Laogen was waiting for him to answer with a little uneasiness, Wu Qingyuan smiled and nodded. business acumen.

As soon as the matter was negotiated and the noodle money was given, Wu Qingyuan followed the happy Lin Laogen away from the pier and went to the Willow Village that the other party said.

After talking about it for so long, it was getting late. After earning his money today, Lin Laogen was not going to go to the pier any longer, and immediately returned to the village.

Along the way, Lin Laogen may have earned his money, so he has a very enthusiastic attitude and talks a lot, but most of the topics are about his two children, how smart my son is, and he was praised by his husband as soon as he entered the private school. My little brother is very capable, he works in the fields and cooks everything, and he doesn't look like a man at all.

However, Wu Qingyuan was very patient, he didn't find him annoying, and people were indifferent in the last days, let alone talk about family affairs, he wouldn't even say hello to unfamiliar people. He hadn't experienced such a simple and down-to-earth feeling for a long time.

Occasionally echoing "your little brother/son is really capable", Lin Laogen would laugh from ear to ear and become more enthusiastic and close to him.

Liushu Village is not far from Shiqiao Town. Of course, this distance is defined by the people here. From Shiqiao Town to Liushu Village, Wu Qingyuan estimated the time, and they walked for more than an hour.

This is still under the condition that he and Lin Laogen are both strong men. If it is replaced by other physical strengths and slow paces, I am afraid that there is no two-hour journey.

At sunset, Wu Qingyuan finally saw the Willow Village in the mouth of Lin Laogen.

This is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scale of the village is considered to be medium. From a distance, it is estimated that there are two or three hundred households in the houses. There are rows of willow trees growing along the road at the entrance of the village. Willow Village should be Named after this, the whole village is full of smoke, full of vitality and pleasant scenery. Wu Qingyuan likes it very much when he sees it.

After entering the village, he found that the life of the people in this village should be pretty good.

Although most of the houses are still those with earth walls and thatched roofs, the villagers look very good on the road, and they don’t seem to be hungry. There are several good houses built with bricks and tiles in the village, which shows that the people of Liushu Village are not rich. But definitely not poor.

He remembered that on the canal before, merchant ships had docked in some small villages and towns. The people in those villages were all yellow-faced, skinny and starving. Bad, but the overall standard of living is relatively good.

Nodding in his heart, after adding Liushu Village to his candidacy, Wu Qingyuan continued to listen to Liu Laogen's long-winded and follow him without changing his face.

As they were walking, a villager suddenly hurried over in front of him, pulling Lin Laogen before he could catch his breath and started talking.

"Lin Laogen, you are back, hurry up, your brother Lin quarreled with his wife that week, and they were about to fight with a stick!"

"What? Why did he quarrel with the old Zhou family again, this child, Jin Shui, where are they now? I'll go over right away."

After hearing the villagers' words, Lin Laogen's expression changed and he asked anxiously.

"They're in the village square now, I'll take you there..."

The villagers answered quickly, then supported Lin Laogen and started to run anxiously, Wu Qingyuan also followed.

It was only a few minutes from the entrance of the village to the square of the village. The three of them arrived very quickly. Before they walked over, they saw that the drying field was full of villagers, and the chatter was very lively.

As an ability user, Wu Qingyuan's five senses and six senses are very sensitive, and at a glance, he saw the two quarrelling protagonists through the gap in the crowd.

One is an elderly, sturdy, old woman wearing a navy blue floral dress with black and white hair, and the other is only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a large blue spot on his face, and his appearance is not good-looking. .

The two were surrounded by the crowd, each holding a stick in their hands, and they were arguing fiercely with red faces.

When she saw Lin Laogen coming, the old woman finally took a breath, dropped the boy, transferred her anger to Lin Laogen, who was relatively weak in combat, and howled with a shrill voice.

"Lin Laogen, you've been beaten with a thousand knives! Look at what kind of brother you have taught, and dare to quarrel with this old woman with a stick. I really can't find anyone in this area who doesn't even let their elders go. The little brother in your eyes! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never finish with your Lin family!"

"Aunt Zhou, it's me who is arguing with you. What are you scolding my father for?"

The old woman shifted her firepower to Lin Laogen, and the young man became even more angry.

A ten-year-old child standing next to him also ran to Lin Laogen to explain.

"Father, it's Ama Zhou. Today, she asked Brother Zhou to go up the mountain to chop firewood. Brother Zhou met Xiong Blind on the mountain, and he came back alive after his life. He almost let Xiong Blind catch him with his hands, but Ama Zhou didn't give it to Brother Zhou. Not to mention buying medicine, she still beats people, you see, brother Zhou is almost killed by her! Brother just speaks for brother Zhou, she still relies on us, saying that my brother is angry with her, and let our family lose money to her Loss! Brother is right, don't listen to Zhou A's nonsense..."

The child said angrily while pointing at Brother Zhou next to the boy.

Wu Qingyuan followed him, because it was not convenient for him to take off his clothes for people to see because of his identity, but from the bloodstains on the skinny boy named Zhou Ge'er, as well as the exposed arms, ankles, and necks. As well as all kinds of bruises and scars on his face, it is not difficult to see that the injury is indeed not light.

The surrounding villagers also discussed and proved the facts, but the old woman of the Zhou family was notoriously fierce and cheating on her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Zhou listened to the whispers in the crowd and her face was not good-looking, but she couldn't refute it. No matter how fierce she was, she couldn't offend the whole village, so she could only scolded the three Lin family's three fathers and sons arrogantly and unreasonably.

"Bah, it's none of your business for the old lady to discipline my baby. Before the firewood was chopped back, I lost the old lady's hatchet. For a knife of twenty pennies, it can eat a pound of meat. Shouldn't you teach me a lesson? It's just that your family is nosy, no wonder you look so ugly, maybe it's retribution, no one wants you if you deserve to marry or not..."

"What are you talking about, Mrs. Zhou? Why can't my brother Lin get married?!"

Lin Laogen, who had just heard his son's report and had not yet reacted, heard Mrs. Zhou's words, and the honest man instantly froze and roared.

Not to mention that Mrs. Zhou and the surrounding villagers were startled, even Wu Qingyuan was shaken by his voice.

However, the two brothers of the Lin family are very active, especially Lin Amo. Because of his friendship, he has always wanted to help Brother Zhou, but he is always powerless.
