Cheat: Only children make choices! I want them all

Chapter 14: First Encounter with Villagers

A night passed, and the next morning came again. The warm golden light of the morning sun shone into Ye Lingtian's room through the old windowsill.

Ye Lingtian was stimulated by the sudden bright light and drowsily opened his sleepy eyes...

"Yeah~"

I sat up and stretched, letting my body adjust to being awake.

Ye Lingtian put on his clothes, washed up, and then made some breakfast to satisfy his hungry stomach.

Time soon came to 8:30 in the morning, and Ye Lingtian was ready to explore my world again.

"Workbench! Here I come!"

Ye Lingtian clenched his fists, cheered himself up for a while, and then set off through the dimensional gate.

As the space rippled, Ye Lingtian's figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived under the acacia tree...

Looking at the village standing at the foot of the mountain, Ye Lingtian smiled. It seemed that his good luck was about to come!

Carefully using oak stepping stones, Ye Lingtian safely reached the bottom of the cliff.

The terrain where the village is located is a trapezoidal hill. The terrain is not very undulating, but because the terrain is somewhat uneven, the houses in the village are of different heights and scattered among them, and are not completely consistent.

Ye Lingtian's position was about four or five hundred meters away from the village, and he could vaguely see the environment outside the village.

Looking from afar, Ye Lingtian saw the farmlands from yesterday, with some crops still planted on them.

Ye Lingtian slowly approached in the direction of the village.

He finally stopped when he was less than a hundred meters away from the outskirts of the village.

At this distance, Ye Lingtian could see the entire appearance of the village more clearly.

Houses built of stone and wooden planks, a well in the southeast of the village, and a blacksmith shop on the west side of the village...

The village was not big. Ye Lingtian roughly counted and found that there were about twenty houses, and the population was about thirty.

Since Ye Lingtian's eyes were cured last time, his vision has become clearer and clearer. He can even see the appearance of the people in the video from a distance of nearly 100 meters.

"Just as I suspected before, the people here aren't cut from the same cloth. They all look completely different! Although some look similar, there are differences in details. They must be from the same family or relatives..."

Ye Lingtian pondered for a moment, then looked inside the village again, observing the villagers' various behaviors.

In this village, some people were dressed like farmers, wearing conical hats and holding hoes, guarding the fields. They looked like they were farmers in the village...

At the blacksmith shop, Ye Lingtian also saw a middle-aged man with bare chest and holding a hammer.

The man has European and American looks, with a sturdy build and deep, three-dimensional facial features, but his skin looks a little rough.

The man was holding a hammer and pounding something frantically on an anvil, with a pool of red-hot molten iron next to him!

Perhaps because he was too close to the fire, or perhaps because he had expended too much energy, the man was covered in sweat. Some of it could no longer be held onto, and it slid down from his head, cheeks, and body, dripping onto the ground. It then formed a puddle on the nearby floor, and then, under the influence of the scorching heat, it turned into steam and rose up, eventually dissipating...

Ye Lingtian stared at the other person for a long time before looking away. At the same time, many thoughts emerged in his mind.

"That big guy seems to be working on iron, right? Could it be that there are more ways to obtain iron ingots in this world than just the ones in the game?"

Ye Lingtian touched his smooth chin, pursed his lips, thought for a while, and decided to go into the village to try it out.

He had been observing the village for quite a while and didn't see anything strange about the villagers. They all looked quite friendly. He figured that even if he entered their village, he wouldn't be attacked or hated by them...

In the village, apart from those who needed to work, some idle villagers gathered in twos and threes, chatting...

"Kerry, how are your pigs doing? I see you've been raising them for a while, so they should have grown quite a bit, right?"

"Hehe! Not bad! I've been feeding them some carrots lately, and they're growing well. They should be able to be taken to the town's slaughterhouse soon. Meat prices have been rising recently, so I think they'll fetch a good price..."

"Really? I really envy you. I wanted to raise a few pigs, but unfortunately, my husband hates these fat creatures..."

"Haha! That's not something I can do. This isn't a problem I can solve. Sirius, you should think of other ways to make extra money."

……

"Anna! You're already sixteen years old. Your coming-of-age ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. By then, you'll be eligible to take the Imperial Academy exam. I really hope you can pass. This way, the burden on our family will be much less..."

In a small two-story wooden house, beside the stove, a middle-aged woman was combing the hair of a young girl sitting on a low stool, muttering something to herself.

"Don't worry, Mom! I will work hard, just like my brother Dake, to join the Imperial Academy and bring honor to our Hoh Xil Village!"

Hearing the girl say this, the middle-aged woman's face was filled with a kind and relieved smile, and she gently touched the girl's head...

"Anna has grown up and knows how to think about the village. That's great. If Jobs is watching from heaven, he will definitely protect you..." After the woman said this, she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, as if she was praying for the girl.

Seeing this, the girl's pretty face also showed a longing smile. She closed her eyes and imitated her mother's movements and prayed together...

……

On the other side, Ye Lingtian had already arrived at the edge of the village and entered the village along the ochre road.

At the same time as Ye Lingtian arrived, several eyes were focused on him.

Several villagers nearby looked at Ye Lingtian with curiosity.

"Who is this guy? He doesn't seem to be from our village. I haven't seen him before..."

"I don't know this guy either. Judging from his appearance, I know he's definitely not from our village. I don't know where he came from."

"We're not sure about that. Judging from his current appearance and the large backpack he's carrying, he must be a traveler from another town..."

The villagers were whispering to each other about various topics regarding Ye Lingtian, the outsider.

While the villagers were looking at Ye Lingtian, Ye Lingtian was also looking at them, while also observing the layout of the houses in the village.

The houses here were very simple, similar to the rammed-earth houses of ancient China. However, a closer look through the cracks in the doors revealed a fair amount of furniture inside. They were somewhat different from the village huts seen in computer games. Apparently, in this real world, the structure of the houses and the layout of the furniture were more realistic...
