Xiao Hecao grew up in the countryside, so he naturally knows how rural people treat guests. Maybe a big family like the Hu family would be laughed at by the guests if they entertained guests with anything big and meaty.
I think they have no taste and think they really can't be called a big family. A big family like the Hu family is very particular about their food. Especially when entertaining guests, the amount of food does not need to be large.
But it must be exquisite. You will never tire of fine food and fine food. This is the truth.
But for rural people, big fish and meat are the mainstream. If you go to someone's house and they entertain you with big fish and meat, it definitely means they value you.
So when Xiao Hecao saw that the village chief and the others had prepared such a sumptuous dinner, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Then he looked at the village chief sheepishly and said: "Old man, you are too polite. You are so kind. I am really sorry for you."
I can’t bear it.”
When the village chief saw that Xiao Hecao was not angry, but was very excited, he quickly said: "Sir, you are too polite. If you say something unpleasant, our village will be able to come up with these things, and
If it were another adult, he might not like to eat these things. We once hosted a plant master before. When we took out these things, we were scolded by that adult. It’s okay if you don’t dislike it.
Already."
Xiao Hecao looked at the excited look on the village chief's face and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then he smiled slightly and said: "I don't dislike it. How could I dislike it? Old man, I won't hide it from you. My family is also from the countryside. Now at home,
My grandparents, parents, and parents are still farming. For us farmers, we can eat these things. It’s not the Chinese New Year, so why would I dislike it?”
When the village chief heard what Xiao Hecao said, he immediately felt a lot more friendly. However, he was still not rude, but said happily: "As long as you like it, it's fine."
Xiao Hecao smiled slightly and was not polite. He sat there and started eating. He did not invite the village chief to eat with him because he knew very well that the village chief could not eat with him. He was a planter and for the village chief
He said, he is such a noble man, how dare he have dinner with him.
The village chief was very happy to see that the little crane grass tasted delicious. Before, he thought that the little crane grass was saying kind words, but now it seems that what the little crane grass said was true, which made the village chief even happier.
.
After eating, the village chief immediately asked Shi Shi to clear the table, and then served tea. After Xiaohecao took a sip of hot tea, he turned to the village chief and said: "Old man, thank you for your hospitality today. I will give you some tea tomorrow."
We are about to leave. If there is anything else going on in your village, tell me now and I will help if I can."
The village chief said quickly: "Sir, our village has been living very well. Nothing really happened. What happened this time was just an accident. Your Excellency is leaving tomorrow. Can I ask them to prepare more dry food for you?"
When Xiao Hecao heard what the village chief said, he also smiled slightly and said, "Thank you very much, I will go back to rest first." The village chief quickly and respectfully sent Xiao Hecao away.
Back in the room, Xiao Hecao was not surprised at all by what happened today. He had already known the status of the plant master among ordinary people. The performance of the village chief today was considered good. You know
, that can be regarded as the most disadvantaged plant master. When he saw these village chiefs, he was also a superior existence. Of course, the plant master cannot kill people at will, otherwise he will still be punished, but relatively speaking,
The punishment will be much lighter.
But if Xiaohecao does not kill people, but just bullies these villagers, then these villagers really have no place to reason with them. Even if Xiaohecao sleeps with the girls and wives of these villagers, these villagers will not dare to treat Xiaohecao.
How about grass? This is the gap in status.
It's just that Xiaohecao doesn't know how to do these things. He also comes from the countryside, so he is very polite to these villagers, and even calls the village chief like an old man.
There was no words all night. Early the next morning, Xiao Hecao packed up and left Shijia Village. When he left Shijia Village, the village chief and the people in the village personally sent Xiao Hecao away. At the same time, they also
We have prepared a lot of dry food for Little Crane Grass. These dry food are all made of flatbread. This kind of flatbread looks a little hard, but it tastes very filling and tastes very good. People like these people in the village usually eat it.
I can't bear to eat it.
Xiao Hecao was not polite. Although the village gave him a lot of things, only those ten gold coins would make the people in the village feel a little tired. The rest of the things would not make the people in the village poor.
Xiao Hecao left Shijiacun and walked forward slowly. While walking, he thought about the skills left by King Hammer. It was such a waste. It seemed that he could practice a little while traveling. When Xiao He thought of this
Cao Cao immediately took action. He thought about Shi Chui's eight moves and started practicing them one by one.
Fortunately, there were relatively few people on this official road. Otherwise, if people saw him walking and gesticulating, they would have to think of him as mentally ill. But even so, those plants also regarded the little crane grass as mentally ill.
Xiao Hecao didn't pay attention. At first, he just gestured with the moves of Stone Hammer Bafali with his hands. Sometimes these moves looked really weird. Most of the moves were mainly about sweeping and smashing. If you want to master them,
It's really not an easy thing.
Fortunately, Xiaohecao was not in a hurry, and slowly and miserably, along the way, although he met a few people on the road, Xiaohecao had already stopped what he was doing before meeting those people, so those on the road
The person just saw Zhi Yu who was going out for a trial.
At noon, the little crane grass did not find a place to rest. It just rested on the roadside for a while, ate some dry food, and then continued on its way. This is really normal for a planter.
Here in the Soul World Continent, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the population is not large. In addition, Xiaohecao travels on foot. It only takes half a day to meet someone? That is not an easy task.
However, Xiao Hecao was also very lucky. In the evening, he actually met a caravan that had missed Sutou and was building a camp.
When the people from the caravan saw that Hecao was a planter traveling alone, they warmly invited him to rest in their camp. Hecao was not polite and stayed in the camp.
The leader of this camp is a soldier soul. In addition to him, there are five soldier souls accompanying the team. The soul objects of these six people are all swords. The leader is about forty years old, and the remaining few are about the same age.
They are all around thirty years old.
In addition to them, there were five carriages in the camp, with a total of about twenty coachmen and drivers. Seeing this proportion of people, Xiao Hecao couldn't help but frown.
There are six soldiers guarding five cars, and there are more than twenty guys who look like they have practiced martial arts. It seems that the things in this car must be very valuable, but in this case, why are they still there?
Want to invite yourself to rest in their camp? Aren't they afraid that they are the ones who want to deal with them?
Xiao Hecao sat aside and watched the guys setting up tents there. While the soldiers were giving instructions, he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
But he has now entered the camp. If he leaves at this time, it will arouse the other party's suspicion, and maybe the other party will take action against him. But if he stays, he may be in danger. Xiaohecao will be in danger for a while.
I couldn't help but feel a bit in a dilemma.
At this moment, the leading soldier walked over to Xiaohecao. Xiaohecao quickly stood up, saluted the man and said, "Thank you, uncle, for letting me rest here."
The man smiled slightly and said: "You're welcome. From the look of you, you are a plant master who came out for the trial, right? Haha, okay, you are already a first-level plant master at a young age. It's amazing. What's your name?"
?”
Xiaohecao said quickly: "My name is Hecao, Tianhecao. Uncle really deserves the award. I just got lucky and became a planter. I'm still far from it."
The man laughed loudly and said: "Luck alone cannot make someone become a planter. Don't be humble. By the way, my surname is Liu. Just call me Uncle Liu. Hecao, what are you doing?"
Where are you going? Do you have a destination?"
Xiao Hecao nodded and said: "I want to go to Green City, which is very close to Cuiyu Mountain. I want to visit Cuiyu Mountain."
Uncle Liu nodded and said: "That's good, we are on the same road. Otherwise, you can follow us all the way, so that everyone can take care of you."
Xiao Hecao wanted to refuse, but when he saw Uncle Liu's eyes, he immediately rejected the idea. There was a hint of probing in Uncle Liu's eyes. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to protect him.
Will you fall out?
Although Xiao Hecao was not afraid of them, he would not fall out with Uncle Liu and the others at this time, so he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "This will trouble Uncle Liu."
When Uncle Liu heard that Xiaohecao agreed, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded and said: "It's no trouble, no trouble, we are all on the way anyway, if you just walk, you will get what you want step by step
It will take several months to reach the Green City, but it will be faster if you follow us."
Xiao Hecao nodded and said in a deep voice: "I also want to get to Green City as soon as possible. I will trouble Uncle Liu along the way."
Uncle Liu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome. You take a rest first. When the tent is set up, I'll ask them to get something delicious." After that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Hecao looked at Uncle Liu's back, but kept frowning, but he did not make a sound, but in his head, he slowly contacted the plants around him, asking those plants to help him look and see.
Is there anyone else around here besides them? Is there someone who wants to deal with them? But fortunately, I got the news from those plants that there is no one else around here.
Those people obviously walked outside a lot, so they set up the tents very quickly. After a while, two tents, one big and one small, were set up. The big tent was obviously prepared for those guys, but the small tent was for those guys.
Uncle Liu and the others prepared it.
As soon as the tent was set up, the people immediately started to prepare food. Two people went out to hunt, and the other people prepared the dry food they brought. As soon as they saw the dry food those people brought, Xiao Hecao knew that he would be in trouble this time.
Not small, because the dry food those people brought was military dry food, which was very different from the dry food made by ordinary civilians.
Military dry food is a kind of military food carefully made by the army. It is specially prepared for marching and fighting. People usually do not eat those things. Military dry food looks like pieces of flatbread, but this flatbread is different from
The flatbread of Crane Grass is different. Their flatbread is added with salt, dried vegetable leaves, soybean flour, and some meat powder and flour to make a dry cake that looks dry and hard.
, but it can be stored for a long time, and you can eat it as soon as you take it. If conditions permit, you can also cook it over fire and eat it. The taste is still good.
However, the production cost of this kind of military ration is also very high. If it is ordinary people, they will not eat military ration as dry food. Although military ration is more nutritious and tastes better, Uncle Liu and the others are now bringing it out.
Those dry rations are all military rations. The reason why Xiao Hecao can recognize them as military rations at a glance is because after the military rations are made, they will be divided into groups of ten and then packed in special dry food bags for military rations.
This kind of dry food bag is made of fine fine cloth, very thick, and very strong. The dry food that Uncle Liu and the others brought out were packed in this kind of dry food bag.
Military rations are not something that ordinary people can afford, but looking at the calm faces of Uncle Liu and the others, one can tell that in their eyes, the rations are just ordinary things. In other words, Uncle Liu and the others must have extraordinary status.
Judging from the soul objects on their heads, Uncle Liu and the others are probably inextricably linked to the royal family of the Blade Soul Kingdom.
However, Xiao Hecao did not keep staring at Uncle Liu and the others. He just glanced at the military rations that Uncle Liu and the others took out, then turned around and pretended to pack his things.
Uncle Liu had actually been paying attention to the little crane grass. He always felt that the time when the little crane grass appeared was really a coincidence. It happened to be when he was about to rest in the evening, and he happened to arrive at their camp. Such a coincidence, in
Uncle Liu seemed to be very abnormal. The reason why he did not kill Xiaohecao was because he wanted to see what the purpose of Xiaohecao was. Is it really a coincidence or was there some conspiracy? If there was any
If there is any conspiracy, then it is more appropriate to keep him by your side and watch him than to let him go. If you keep him by your side, you can still keep an eye on him. If he makes any move, just kill him directly. If you let him go,
If you go out, you are letting a poisonous snake hide in the grass. You never know when it will come out and bite you.
Xiao Hecao never thought that Uncle Liu stayed with him because of this, but the way Uncle Liu looked at him made him very alert. He felt that if he had asked to leave at that time, Uncle Liu might deal with him.
That's why he stayed, but now Xiao Hecao really regrets it. If the other party really has something to do with the royal family of the Blade Soul Kingdom, then what Uncle Liu and the others will do this time must be very important. Of course
, will be very dangerous, and if he stays, it will only become more dangerous. Unfortunately, if he wants to leave now, Uncle Liu and the others will definitely fall out immediately, so Xiao Hecao can only take one step at a time.
