Chapter 528 [Shopkeeper and Village Chief]
From Xianqi Cliff, the journey is not difficult.
After leaving the dense forest under the cliff, you only need to climb a few small peaks to reach Linxi Village. Because woodcutters and hunters often enter the mountain from Linxi Village, there are many narrow paths covered by weeds that allow people to pass.
In short, this journey is much easier than going from the mountain temple to the fairy cliff.
Hu Yun smiled to his wife: "We can take a long detour back to the mountain temple. From Linxi village, we can go directly to the official road, walk to the mountain temple and then enter the mountain. Although the road is longer, it is all flat roads. Come on, take it easy, I don’t know how much.”
Song Yao nodded, she is a mortal after all, whether the road is smooth or not has the greatest impact on her.
He didn't come to Linxi Village many times, and the last time was a long time ago. Now that he came again, he found that the appearance of Linxi Village had changed dramatically.
Only in terms of scale, Linxi Village today is bigger than the original two.
It seems that every household has changed to a new house. The materials of the house are not the original adobe, thatch and wooden sticks, but bricks, tiles and planks, and the regulations are much stricter. However, stones in the mountains are still widely used, whether they are used as foundations or courtyard walls, they are excellent.
Several horse-drawn carriages stopped here, seeming to be transporting medicinal materials. Hu Yun also found an inn, two restaurants and several grocery stores, all of which were on both sides of the main road into the village. The herbal medicine industry in Linxi Village has brought the village's economy up. The original mountain village life has been broken, and it has entered a new situation with a faster pace, more comfort and more happiness.
Song Yao said to Hu Yun: "It's already mid-afternoon, and we may not be able to go back to the mountain temple in time. If it's dark, the road will be difficult to walk, why not rest here for a night." She is not worried about safety, after all, her husband The ability is also considered high-strength, and Yunzhongshan is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Laoshu, but walking at night is more tiring than walking during the day, even if it is official.
Hu Yun naturally agreed. After seeing the inn in Linxi Village, he also had the same idea. After all, his wife walked a lot today, and he was also very distressed: "Let's rest here for two days, and go back to the mountain temple in the morning the day after tomorrow. , anyway, we don’t have anything urgent, so we just come here for a tour.”
The two walked towards the inn. When they went out, they naturally carried money with them, so there was no risk of failing to pay the bill.
"Store, is there any room available?" Hu Yun walked to the counter and asked.
"Yes, yes, what kind of house do you want, sir?" This inn is not big, and there is no special shopkeeper. The owner stands behind the counter to attract guests, and several family members are busy up and down, "You two call me Lin Er Just like my brother, the shop has two floors, the upper rooms on the second floor are more expensive, and the downstairs rooms are cheaper."
In fact, there are also options for accommodation in a firewood house and a hot meal, but Brother Lin is discerning. He can see that the two people in front of him live well, so he didn't mention this.
"Come to an upper room, and bring some hot water up." Hu Yun said.
"Okay, please come with me." The owner collected some deposits, and then took out a bunch of keys, seeing that other shop assistants around were busy, so he put down the account book in his hand, and personally took Hu Yun and Song Yao Go upstairs and go to the kitchen below to get hot water.
This is the second floor. When you open the south-facing window, you can still see the plains outside, as well as the remnants of the Yunzhong Mountain in the south, west, and northwest directions. body. The weather today is fine and the visibility is very high. Looking far away, the land in the distance is still shrouded in a faint fog, and nothing can be seen clearly, but the nearby fields, rivers, roads, and villages and towns are all clear and clear. The sun shines beautifully.
Hu Yuncong propped up the window, turned around, gently placed the net bag he had been carrying in his hand on the table, and helped it a few times to prevent the cans inside from rolling around. Song Yao was sitting by the bed. She was not tired. After all, she was not too old, and she just ate a lot of food at Xianqi Cliff today. They were all ingredients soaked in spiritual energy. Body, but also get rid of fatigue.
He said to Song Yao: "I'll go to the person in charge of the village to arrange it. Yaoyao, you have a good rest. I'll come back in the evening and take you to dinner."
"Okay, you go, remember not to lack etiquette." Song Yao instructed.
"It's easy to save." Hu Yun thought for a while, and took out four cans from the net bag next to him, half of which were canned pork and half of which were canned fruits. He planned to use this as a gift when he came to the door. This rare item is very rare. suitable.
He walked out of the inn with a few cans in his arms, found a young man on the street, and asked who was responsible for Linxi Village?
"The person who talks? Oh, you are the one who has the most say in the village." The young man looked at Hu Yun who was holding the can, and asked very curiously. After seeing that Hu Yun looked like a decent person, he replied : "Then you have to find Uncle Hai Zi, his name is Lin Hai, and he is the head of our Linxi Village."
"Thank you!" Hu Yun asked where Lin Hai's family lived, and went straight there.
As the planting of medicinal materials in Linxi Village becomes larger and larger, Lin Hai no longer sells medicinal materials by himself. He finds clever villagers to guide the merchants who come to Linxi Village to purchase medicinal materials. Similarly, he also handed over the processing of the medicinal materials, which were handled by the skilled hands in the village.
As for Lin Hai himself, he and his good brother A Niu go to the fields every day to tend them.
So Hu Yun ran into nothing. He walked into Lin Hai's house, only seeing Lin Hai's family members, but not Lin Hai himself. So he put down the can, asked the direction of the medicine field, and hurried over.
"Your Excellency is Lin Hai, the head of Linxi Village?"
"Oh? It's me, Your Excellency?"
"My name is Hu Yun, and I am also from Yunzhong Mountain. I heard that the school is recruiting teachers. I have been studying in Ninghe Mansion for several years, and I have not relaxed my homework, so I submitted a letter of recommendation before. I came to visit Linxi Village today. But you are not in the mansion, so I found this place directly from your mansion."
"Oh, so it's you." Lin Hai was overjoyed when he heard his intention.
He poked the medicine **** in his hand on the ground, handed it to the person next to him, and then politely said to Hu Yun: "Sir, please come to the village to drink tea, and discuss school matters together. The mountain village is simple and poorly entertained. Please Haihan."
After saying that, Lin Hai let Hu Yun into the village, ordered someone to boil water and make tea, and then said to Hu Yun, "It is absolutely benevolent to encourage each village to build its own school, especially for our Linxi Village. After all, the industry has been booming in the past few years, we earn a lot of money but can't spend it, and there are still very few children who can read."
