People in Taoyuan Township basically don't practice. Anyway, according to Zhang Cundao's observation, people here basically don't practice. In fact, if you think about it, it resets here every year, from the body to the memory, and it will be reset after one year of practice.
After all, who is still practicing?
People here focus on living their lives. They farm and sell things. They live a leisurely and carefree life.
In Taoyuan Township, there seems to be a naturally relaxing atmosphere here.
Zhang Cundao soon got a big house. This house was on the corner of the street and seemed a bit secluded. It was a two-story brick building.
The house is very big. The rooms facing the street are more than 100 square meters, and the rooms facing the backyard are another 100 square meters. This layout is called the front hall and the back hall. The front hall can be used to open a shop because there is a second floor.
Any tavern will do.
The back hall is the living and working area, and there is also a backyard where you can raise chickens and plant trees.
The houses here are all next to each other, with only a half-meter-wide lane separating the two houses.
After getting the house, Di Lao and Feng Wu started cleaning it. Not long after, Carpenter Zhang from the village came to visit.
He said he was visiting his new neighbor, but in fact Zhang Cundao thought he was just here to see if he could get any work. After all, except for the house, there was nothing inside.
It would be great if you could hire him to make some furniture.
Not only did the carpenter come, but the bricklayer also came. He came to ask if he wanted to build a new stove and build a chicken coop...
Apart from these two very purposeful neighbors, the rest are the neighbors, who are kind-hearted and really come to help.
Gold was also traded here, so Di Lao had some inventory, so he used it to buy some wine and food for the neighbors who came to visit.
The neighbors also responded happily. When they had almost finished eating, Aunt Zhang next door, the wife of Carpenter Zhang, said to Zhang Cundao: "Xiaodao, this new guy here, it's better to find a way to make a living. Otherwise, it's better to find a way to make a living."
It’s not easy to live a good life either. I don’t know what you can do?”
Zhang Cundao thought about it for a while. He didn't know many things, but he didn't know too few. He knew a little bit about weapon refining, alchemy, and formations.
Just as he was about to speak, Uncle Tang next door, the bricklayer, spoke up.
"It's best if it's something useful. If it's farming, it's best if you can grow something else instead of just growing rice..."
At this time, Feng Wu carefully raised his hand and said timidly: "I can make tea..."
The others were stunned when they heard this, and then said happily: "Sister Feng can fry tea? That's great. There is no one in our village who can fry tea. Everyone drinks tea by picking some tea leaves, drying them, and then throwing them into the pot.
Boiled in it, it tastes like drinking medicine."
Feng Wu blinked and said, "It's not difficult to make tea..."
Everyone interrupted her with a smile and said, "Since Sister Feng has this ability, why not open a tea shop. We will all come to patronize the business."
When Feng Wu heard this, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Cundao. Zhang Cundao thought for a moment and said, "I think it's okay. Let the girl open a tea shop."
After hearing this, everyone cheered. After a while, it was getting dark. Everyone helped clean up for a while, then left and went back.
After they left, Feng Wu asked Zhang Cundao: "Brother Zhang also agrees with me opening a tea shop? Don't you want me to continue practicing and control the power in my body?"
Zhang Cundao put down the rag in his hand and said seriously to Feng Wu: "Feng Wu, this Taoyuan Township looks very peaceful, but in fact it is not that easy to get along with. The words and actions of the people here have meaning.
"
He said calmly: "Do you know why the village chief and villagers have repeatedly stressed that we should find a way to make a living?"
Feng Wu shook his head.
Zhang Cundao said: "I guess there is a rule in Taoyuan Township - don't raise idle people!"
"Don't support idle people?" Feng Wu was stunned when he heard this.
Zhang Cundao nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, we just don't support idle people. Have you looked here carefully? People here are family-oriented. Every family has work to do, and the worst ones are growing rice. And
Have you noticed that people with skills are more confident in what they say and do. For example, the carpenter Zhang and the bricklayer Tang."
Hearing Zhang Cundao's words, Feng Wu nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Yes, it seems like this..."
Zhang Cundao looked at her and nodded, but actually there was still something he didn't say in his heart. That was that Feng Wu also began to change after he came here.
According to her previous temper, even if she knew how to make tea, she wouldn't say it out loud. She should continue to think of ways to practice, then master the power and achieve revenge.
But today, she began to take the initiative to integrate into the village, chatting happily with everyone, and even took the initiative to say that she could make tea.
This in itself is not normal!
Zhang Cundao can think of this because the pure aura in his mind has been giving a faint warning, reminding him that there is danger here. This danger is most likely mental corrosion. Because the pure aura is specifically designed to defend against this kind of danger.
Something.
Zhang Cundao thought for a while, and then continued to say to Feng Wu: "So, I think it's better to use your tea-frying skills as a foothold, settle down first, and then make plans."
Feng Wu nodded honestly and said nothing more.
While Zhang Cundao and Feng Wu were talking about this, the villagers also gathered for a meeting at the village chief's house.
The village chief sat among the crowd, accompanied by Zhang Carpenter and Tang Wazir. Most of the people were not qualified to sit down and could only stand and obey.
Carpenter Zhang said: "Although the newcomers were not born from the lotus pond, they are not useless either. That girl is said to know how to fry tea."
When the village chief heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, she actually knows how to make tea! This is good news. My mouth tastes bitter after drinking the leaf water!"
Everyone else laughed when they heard this, and then Tang Waziang said: "If their family has this ability, then we will accept them in the future, and they can also become permanent villagers."
When the other people standing heard this, they all showed a look of envy on their faces.
The village chief laughed and said: "That's good, otherwise there will be fewer and fewer people in the village, and Taoyuan Township will become more and more deserted. There are too few outsiders coming now. People who are always born in the lotus pond are nothing.
Very useful."
The person sitting nodded, and then the village chief said: "Okay, it's getting late, it's getting dark, you can go back."
Everyone responded and turned to leave. At this time, the village chief suddenly remembered something and said to a sitting big man: "Tiejiang Li, you still have to pay a visit later and tell them some of the rules in the village."
The big man nodded silently before leaving the village chief's house.
After everyone left, the village chief stood up and slowly walked to the back hall.
…………………………………………
At night, the sound of the watchman sounded.
"It's dry and dry, so be careful with the fire! Close the doors and windows to prevent fire and theft! It's dark and the roads are slippery, so it's not advisable to walk around!"
The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and the sound spread farther and farther.
The watchmen carried lanterns, banged their clappers, and shouted slogans as they walked slowly through the streets. Taoyuan Township fell into darkness.
In her new home, Feng Wu was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She was alone in the room, and for some reason she always felt flustered.
At this moment, a scratching sound suddenly came from the window of her room.
The sound of "prick, prick, prick" sounded, like the sound of claws scratching on the window paper.
Feng Wu was disturbed by the sound. She got up, put on some clothes, picked up the oil lamp and went to take a look. But at this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and then a knock on the door.
"Feng Wu, are you asleep?"
This is Zhang Cundao's voice! Feng Wu's face turned slightly red. Why is he knocking on my door in the middle of the night?
So she whispered: "I've already fallen asleep. What can I do, Brother Zhang?"
Zhang Cundao at the door said: "Since you are sleeping, I won't disturb you anymore. It's best not to leave the room at night and ignore him if you hear any noise. Do you know?"
Hearing Zhang Cundao's words, Feng Wu responded and said, "I understand."
"Well, it's good to know. Have a good rest." After Zhang Cundao finished speaking, he left here, his footsteps getting farther and farther.
At this time, Feng Wu was thinking: "Brother Zhang is so kind and he cares about others."
While she was thinking beautifully, suddenly there was a knock on the door again.
Feng Wu was stunned and said softly: "Brother Zhang, is that you? Is there anything else?"
There was a "hmm" response from the person outside the door, and then he said vaguely: "There's something going on. Open the door and I'll talk to you..."
Hearing this, Feng Wu got out of bed and was about to open the door for Zhang Cundao. But when he walked to the door, she suddenly woke up!
"This won't work! A man and a woman alone, living in the same room in the middle of the night... If word spreads about this..." She suddenly became shy and hesitant.
As a princess of the Feng family, her etiquette teachings are very strict. There is absolutely no rule about opening the door for a man in the middle of the night. Even if her father comes in person, there is no such rule.
So she said softly: "Brother Zhang, it's getting late. If you have anything to do, why don't we talk about it during the day tomorrow."
When the voice outside heard this, he immediately said: "Good girl, I'm in a hurry. Please open the door. I'm begging you!"
His words of "good sister" almost made Feng Wu faint. When had she ever heard Zhang Cundao speak to her with such pleading words!
But at this moment, she heard another Zhang Cundao's voice.
"Asshole! When did I ever speak in such a sissy voice! You monster is looking for death!"
Then, Feng Wu heard a ping-ping-pong-pong sound. Zhang Cundao also said at this time: "Feng Wu, don't open the door, and don't open the door if anyone calls. If you have anything to do, let's talk tomorrow day!"
After his words fell, a ray of light came through the crack of Feng Wu's door, and then she heard Ruoyouruowu's curses, and then the sound stopped suddenly.
"It's okay, have a good rest, don't think too much!" Zhang Cundao's words came, and then they became farther and farther away...
