Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo
Chapter 49: A Small Village in the Mountains
"Master Scholar, where are you going so early in the morning?" Yinzi, a subordinate of Mr. Li, came from the Northeast and spoke with a strong accent.
As soon as he said this, everyone brought by Mr. Feng burst into laughter.
But this funny-sounding voice did not make Feng Xiucai and his family laugh at all.
"Grandma, my hand is numb!" Xu Ning used his other hand to lift the hand that he had used to hug Old Lady Xu last night. That hand had completely lost sensation. Xu Ning accidentally let go of the other hand, and the numb hand slapped her thigh.
"Oh my, it hurts." Old Mrs. Xu sat up, stretched out her hand to pull up Xu Ning's numb hand, and gently massaged her, "It doesn't hurt at all! I don't even think you're pressing on me! Shut up, you can't talk without brushing your teeth, it's stinking!"
"Grandma, you're getting irritated too!" Xu Ning covered her mouth with her flexible hand. She felt a little pain in her gums. Was she afraid it was an ulcer?
"It's all because of the roast chicken." Old Mrs. Xu complained. Xu Da and the others woke up one after another. When they yawned, the whole carriage was filled with an indescribable tone.
Xu Ning quickly held his breath and opened all the car windows for ventilation, taking a deep breath of fresh air.
"Hey, why is there smoke there?" Xu Ning immediately picked up the controller to check the situation and discovered that a few miles away from the Xu family's carriage, there was actually a mountain village that looked like a hidden paradise.
Xu Da and the others came over, and seeing Xu Ning covering his mouth, they spoke without hesitation: "Daya, where is this place?"
"A small village in the mountains." Xu Ning said sullenly. She felt like she had to wear a gas mask because the mixed tone was too overpowering.
It was over, and she felt she couldn't eat breakfast anymore.
After Xu Da finished speaking, he was also startled by his own stink. They hadn't taken a shower for a long time, and the mixture of various smells on their bodies was really too irritating to the eyes.
"Daya, quickly put away those things in the carriage!" Old Mrs. Xu had sharp eyes and saw someone walking towards the Xu family's carriage through the two children on the screen.
Xu Ning did not waste any time and quickly put away the things that could not be seen. He put out some yam, dried meat and wild vegetables and piled them in a conspicuous place in the carriage.
Xu Ning hid a lot of rice, flour, sweet potatoes and other things in the remaining secret compartments above and below the carriage.
"Who are you?" Not long after, the Xu family's carriage was stopped, and the simulated horse had already stopped under the control of Xu Ning.
Xu Da opened the carriage and walked out, "Two brothers, we are just passing by and are going to visit relatives in the south."
This explanation was what the Xu family had just agreed upon. The two villagers who were blocking the road looked at the strange horse in confusion for several times, and then when they saw the burly Xu Da, they immediately turned their eyes away, with smiles soon appearing on their faces.
"So you are just passing by. Our village is in front of you. You must have been traveling all night. You must be tired. Why don't you go to our village to rest for a while and eat something?" asked one of the villagers.
"Ah~ OK~ Ah, thank you~" Xu Da yawned several times, and tears came out, making him look much more friendly.
Xu Ning and the two treasures popped their heads out from behind Xu Da, took a few glances and whispered something to the two treasures.
The villager who had just spoken saw the three chestnut-shell heads and thought that they were all Xu Da's sons. "Brother, you are so lucky. The three boys have grown up so big!"
Since sitting on the carriage and hiding from sight, Xu Ning took out only more things. Plus, they were not exposed to the sun, so although he did not come back in vain, the three little ones looked much rounder, at least they looked much better than many refugees.
"Ah, that's my daughter." Xu Da awkwardly turned around and looked at Xu Ning, whose face suddenly turned dark. Before Xu Ning could open his mouth, he was pulled into the carriage by Old Lady Xu.
"Don't act silly, do you hear me? Isn't it good to be mistaken for a boy?" She felt at ease this way, as boys were at least a little safer than girls.
"I know, grandma, but I want to go down and play for a while." Xu Ning curled his lips. Xu Dabao and Xu Xiaobao were still outside on the edge of the car. Xu Ning was very envious and suddenly wondered why he didn't communicate with the main system to change into a boy's body.
"Let's stop when we get there. You are not allowed to go out now." There are many uncertainties outside and on the road, and Xu Ning himself also has uncertainties.
Xu Ning kept the drone in the sky following the carriage, flying very high above the ground, hovering in a position where even the villagers with 5.0 vision might not be able to see it.
"Haha, your daughter is really unique." Another villager who had not spoken much spoke up. Although his voice was plain, Xu Da still heard the contemptuous meaning.
Xu Da also became a little annoyed, "What's the big deal? It's just a haircut."
The villager who had just spoken saw Xu Da getting upset and realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly tried to make amends: "I'll ask my daughter to cut it when I get home."
Xu Da glanced at him, jumped off the carriage and pulled the simulated horse, "Where is your village going?"
"Brother, come with me!" The two villagers looked at each other, and the other villager tactfully said nothing.
Xu Ning secretly eavesdropped in the carriage and whispered to Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, did that uncle do it on purpose or accidentally?"
"It looks like it was unintentional." But Old Mrs. Xu did not let her guard down. After all, the current situation was so bad that it would be a problem if others were too enthusiastic.
Xu Ning showed Old Lady Xu the aerial video of the road leading to the small village. The road looked normal and could barely accommodate the Xu family's carriage.
But the village is a bit strange. It is a place similar to a valley. The entrance and exit is not far from the current location, and a gate has been erected to block it.
"This does look like a village." Old Man Xu said suddenly. Xu Ning suddenly had an idea and remembered the places he had visited before.
"Yes! Grandpa, this is a village!" Xu Ning was misled by the ancient costumes. Looking carefully, he found that this village actually has many different places.
It is morning now, the sky is just getting light, and there are still many people who have not gotten up. The houses that have already gotten up are emitting smoke from cooking.
Xu Ning paid special attention to the clothes drying under the eaves of the house. They were different from what Xu Ning had seen on his way to escape famine.
It was a bit like the clothes of ethnic minorities in her original world, but the clothes had many more decorations than those of ordinary villagers.
Old Mrs. Xu knew that they were not robbers or bandits, so she relaxed a little.
"Mom, don't worry, Dayong is here!" Zhang sat next to Old Lady Xu. Xu Ning continued to check and found that there was only one exit in and out of the entire village, which was the gate.
If the people in the village have bad intentions, their family will never be able to get out once they go in.
"Master, go and call Dad back. I have something to say to him." Xu Ning had to make preparations for both situations. If they were going to cause trouble, she had to leave the carriage outside. This way, if something went wrong, they could run out immediately, and the carriage wouldn't be stopped and they wouldn't be unable to escape.
If there is no bad intention, the carriage will not be lost if it is left outside.
