Chapter 403 Zhou Dynasty
The woman ran over, ran to the old woman, reached out to hug the old woman, comforted the old woman with a few words, and then argued with the middle-aged man.
It was just obvious that the woman's aura was not as good as the other party. She just argued for a few words and was suppressed by the other party.
Wang Xiaoming can only understand a few words, as if it is related to money. The specific situation is, the voice has not been cracked yet, so he cannot know the details.
At this moment, the light brain prompted to complete the cracking of the voice and was entering the voice. When the input was completed, Wang Xiaoming was equivalent to mastering the other party's voice, able to understand the other party's voice, speak the other party's voice, and communicate.
Soon, Wang Xiaoming understood the other party's words.
After listening for a while, Wang Xiaoming finally understood.
It turned out that the old woman was the woman's mother, and the middle-aged man was the woman's uncle, the old woman's younger brother. The middle-aged man had lent ten silver coins to the old woman's family, and he is now here to collect the silver coins.
The reason why the old woman took back the silver coins was also related to the old woman's family's experience. It turned out that the old woman's husband and son went out to sea to fish, but they encountered a storm. They had not come back yet, so something was probably because of an accident.
The husband and son are the pillars of their family. Once the two of them go, the family will be over. The ten silver coins they lent out must be unable to repay, so the middle-aged man hurried over and asked to repay the money.
In fact, this is not the first time he has been here. He has been here twice before, but there is no result. This time he comes, he wants to get a result.
If you want the old woman to pay back the money, you can't do anything because the money has been used up.
The old woman had no cash. But she had real estate. The houses and residential land they lived in were still worth a lot of money. The middle-aged man came here just to force the old woman to sell the house. In fact, he had brought it to the buyer and wanted to complete the transaction on the spot. The buyer was willing to pay fifteen silver coins. The price was fair and he did not deliberately lower the price.
Fifteen silver coins were completed, ten of which were used to repay the debt, and five silver coins were left for the old woman to live.
Even the middle-aged man has already considered her clearly how the old woman lives in the future.
It is naturally impossible to buy a house and land with five silver coins, but it can last for many years when you use it to live. The old woman can marry her daughter out and then live in her son-in-law's house. This will have the best of both worlds.
The old woman looked ugly and was so angry that she trembled all over, but because of the debt, she was so angry that she trembled all over. But she couldn't say anything.
Wang Xiaoming thought about it, walked up, threw a silver ingot in front of the middle-aged man with fear, and said lightly: Is this money enough to pay back the debt?
When the middle-aged man saw the silver ingots on the ground, his eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly and said: It's enough.
The middle-aged man quickly bent down and picked up the silver ingots on the ground. The silver ingots were almost equivalent to twenty silver coins. He made a lot of money, so there was no reason to disagree.
Since it's enough, the matter will be settled and no trouble for them in the future. Wang Xiaoming said again.
The middle-aged man quickly said: This is nature, this is nature, and speaking of it, we are also a family. If I hadn't needed money in urgent need, I wouldn't have made things difficult for them.
There is no need to say these words at this time. Just leave quickly after taking the money. Don’t come in the future. Don’t forget to take all your people away. Wang Xiaoming said coldly, with a cold breath that makes people shudder and dare not stay too long.
Yes, yes, we will leave immediately. The middle-aged man was a little scared and immediately left with his hands.
The buyer who originally wanted to buy a house naturally couldn't stay at this time, so he followed without saying a word.
There were no six people left in the yard, all of whom were the old woman's neighbors. They came to watch the fun and helped their family. When they saw that the matter had been resolved, they said a few words of comfort and followed them.
Thank you for your righteous actions. I dare to ask the gentleman that he was an old woman. He first came to thank him, and then asked about Wang Xiaoming's identity in confusion.
Wang Xiaoming thought for a while and said: I am a foreigner who passed by, and I am also destined to be a girl from the Li family. It is not worth mentioning if I have done anything.
Wang Xiaoming already knew that the woman's surname was Li, but she didn't know her name, but the people around her called her the second sister of the Li family, so Wang Xiaoming called her the Li family girl.
The old woman was stunned for a moment and looked at her daughter beside her. Only then did she realize that something was strange around her. Her heart suddenly moved. Could it be for her daughter
I just thought that there was such a possibility, because her daughter was the most famous beauty in the surrounding area, and there were many people who came to the door to match. If they hadn't seen her daughter was still young, they would have found a good family, otherwise they would have married her daughter long ago.
The girl from the Li family whispered to the old woman: Mom, let's go inside and say, you can't just let the guests stay outside like this.
Yes, yes, please sit in the house. The old woman said quickly.
When a few people arrived in the house, Wang Xiaoming looked into the room. The room was very ordinary and had no decorations. It was just an ordinary wooden house. The whole house also had a strong fishy smell.
From the decoration of the house, we can see that this family is in a very down-and-out situation.
Wang Xiaoming turned his head, looked at the girl from the Li family, and said with a smile: I was joking with you before, please don’t mind.
Wang Xiaoming refers to the fact that he pretended to be deaf and dumb before.
The girl from the Li family smiled and said: I want to thank you more, why would you mind?
The old woman beside her was confused. Could her daughter have something else to do with the other party?
She looked at Wang Xiaoming and looked pretty pretty, fair and clean. Although the clothes on her body were a bit weird, the fabric and style were quite good. She obviously came from a wealthy family.
He is from a wealthy family and has a good appearance. If he is kind, he will be a good match for his daughter. He just doesn't know what is going on in his family.
As a mother, the first thing that comes to mind is that her daughter is a marriage.
After introducing the Li girl, Wang Xiaoming realized that Li Xianger, a girl from the Li family, is her big name, and her father gave her this name, just hope that her daughter will be fragrant in the future.
However, in rural areas like them, few people call them Daming, all of them are called nicknames, because Li Xianger is the second child at home, and usually everyone calls her the second sister of the Li family.
The old woman is Li Xianger's mother. In fact, the old woman is not very old, and she is only in her forties. However, because she is working hard all year round and exposed to the wind and sun, she looks very old.
Wang Xiaoming also understood what happened and knew that Li Xianger's father and brother might have gone to sea and had something to do. If he lost his father and brother, the Li family now would lose the pillar.
Without father and brother, and just the two of them, there is no way to survive.
It’s not just a matter of eating, but a lack of support from father and brother. In such a country, people will be bullied and any troubles will come to you.
It has been a day or two for Li Xianger to go up the mountain to herbs. But why did she meet bad people today? It’s not because those people knew that something happened to the Li family and knew that Li Xianger’s father and brother were gone. Even if she bullied Li Xianger, she had no place to make any reason.
Li Xianger also knew the identities of those evil people. They were all idle lazy people in the same village. They had their father and brother at home before. At most, they would just make a few jokes when they met Li Xianger, and they would never dare to do anything excessive.
Through Li Xianger's narrative, Wang Xiaoming also calculated and understood the experience of their family.
Wang Xiaoming thought about it and made up an identity for himself, saying that he was from Huaguoshan overseas. This time he was going to sea for business. Unexpectedly, when he encountered a storm, the sea ship was silent, and he was the only one who swam on the shore to survive. Because he didn't know where this place was, nor whether it was dangerous or not, he pretended to be deaf and took the opportunity to inquire about the news. He also hoped that the Li family would not be surprised.
The two of the Li family hurriedly said: No wonder, no wonder.
Wang Xiaoming talked about the interesting news about Huaguo Mountain, and then asked about the situation here.
The Li family’s aunt was a little tired and sat next to her and smiled without saying a word. However, Li Xianger, the second sister of the Li family, talked about the situation here with great enthusiasm.
It turns out that this country called Zhou Tian Shangguo is also called Zhou Dynasty. It is the largest country in the world and has been established for more than 300 years.
There are many countries around the Zhou Dynasty, but these are small countries and all vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty.
They belong to Luoyun Village, Qingshan County, Baiwu Prefecture, Nanhai Prefecture, Zhou Dynasty. Because they are leaning against the sea, Luoyun Village is also a fishing village.
The fishing village is near the sea, and there are endless sea fish in the sea. It seems that life is worry-free, but in fact it is not.
It’s like a farmer farming, and it seems that there is no shortage of food, but which farmer family can eat enough?
The only reason for this is that it is all due to tax payments.
Fishing villages like them have to pay a very amazing tax. Every time they return from overseas, they have to pay taxes. The more fish they catch, the more taxes they need to pay.
Although they caught a lot of fish, there were only a few that could fall into their hands.
Fortunately, the official always leaves them a bite of food, and they can't starve to death.
Wang Xiaoming asked about some local customs and culture, and finally got a little understanding of the local situation.
The current situation of the Zhou Dynasty is actually somewhat similar to the late Qing Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty, which had been established for three hundred years, could decline, but the surrounding countries were constantly rising, especially overseas countries that were farther away, which had begun to send warships to contact the Zhou Dynasty. Ten years ago, the Zhou Dynasty's navy fought with foreign navals, but the Zhou Dynasty was defeated. If the Zhou Dynasty had not been vast and had many soldiers, it might have been destroyed long ago.
Although no one else destroyed the country, the weakness of the Zhou Dynasty was also known by many countries, and even the people of the Zhou Dynasty were not favored or looked down upon.
Wang Xiaoming quickly asked about the current technology status again, mainly asking whether there is electricity and gunpowder.
Li Xianger knew about gunpowder. They set off firecrackers during festivals, but Li Xianger really didn’t know what electricity was.
Wang Xiaoming asked about the thunder and lightning in the sky again. Li Xianger shook her head ignorantly, never knowing what thunder and lightning is.
Wang Xiaoming immediately understood a little. Obviously, this world has a special force, which leads to lightning not being generated. Any electronic device relies on electricity to operate. Without electricity, electronic devices cannot be used.
Wang Xiaoming understood a little why the electronic devices on his body were unable to be used.
The inability to use electronic devices is a big trouble for Wang Xiaoming. After all, many of his methods rely on electronic devices to operate.
Wang Xiaoming had already secretly tested just now that in addition to the inability to use electronic devices, many things brought from La Luo Continent cannot be used, and spells seem to be difficult to use in this world.
Fortunately, the storage ring is still usable.
Wang Xiaoming has also discovered that spells and equipment can be used, but spells are not easy to use. For example, spell scrolls are not easy to use and have almost no power.
After learning about the current environment, Wang Xiaoming planned to occupy his heels here first and then make plans.
Just as a few people were discussing in the room, a noise suddenly came from outside the yard.
Both the mother and daughter of the Li family changed their expressions, and Li Xiang'er even exclaimed: It's not that the alien pirates have come ashore.
The alien pirate Wang Xiaoming asked in a voice.
Li Xianger quickly explained: Although there are pirates in our Great Zhou Dynasty, we will not attack our own people. Only pirates from other countries will come ashore to rob us. Let's go quickly. When the pirates come, we can't leave if we want to.
Wait. Wang Xiaoming said a moment and immediately rushed out of the yard. As soon as he left the yard, he jumped up ten meters high, and saw the situation of the entire village from a height.
I saw a group of weirdly dressed pirates rushed into the village with weapons, screaming and killing people when they see them. Naturally, the villagers would not be allowed to capture them, but the villagers were not the opponents of these robbers holding sharp blades. In just a short while, more than ten villagers were killed.
However, there is also good news. Through these pirates' killing methods, Wang Xiaoming can be completely sure that although these pirates have some skills, they are also extremely loose. For opponents of this level, no matter how many people come, it is easy to face them.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming's heart moved and a one-handed sword appeared in his hand.
This one-handed sword is the super metal weapon found in the Starry Kingdom treasure that day. I really didn't expect that at this time, this weapon came in handy.
Laser swords are also electronic weapons and cannot be used in this world, so super metal weapons naturally come in handy.
