Chapter 47: The Rich Villa is not rich
At this time, the sky was pitch black outside, and there was only a long thin branch hanging at the door in the entire hall as a torch. Moreover, the thin branch was obviously picked up casually, and it was filled with moisture. It kept smoking when it burned, causing the hall to smell smoke.
Chu Zheng covered his nose, not only was he choked by the smell of smoke, but the strange smell of Guli emitted from the bed, like a mixture of chicken oil, lard, butter, etc. If you look closely, you can find all kinds of bones that are half-dirty on the bed.
Chu Zheng really couldn't imagine how anyone could sleep in such a bed.
But the man on the bed seemed to be at ease and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Chu Zheng has seen countless monsters in the world of Yinwu. This is the first time that such a strange man has seen him. He walked closer a few steps in a few steps in a dim light. In the dim fire, the man in his thirties had a clear facial features, a wide forehead, a tall and straight nose, and a good appearance. However, his face was pale and thin, and he was weak even when he breathed. He didn't look sick, but he looked like he was hungry.
Chu Zheng tried to shout twice, but the man didn't respond at all. He didn't even want to wake him up when he looked sleeping like the sky fell.
Chu Zheng was so thirsty that he ignored him. He went to the patio to drill a bucket of well water with a bucket of water. He took a few sips happily. He heard that it was not like someone was going back outside, so he simply took off his clothes and took a shower with water.
After being washed by the cool well water, I changed into clean clothes. My body felt comfortable, but I felt even more hungry. Chu Zheng's stomach even made a sound of protest.
This game is very real in this regard. Although not eating for a long time, you won’t really starve to death, it will definitely make you feel weak and uncomfortable.
"If you're very hungry," a male voice came from the hall. Chu Zheng turned around and saw that the man had woken up at some point. He was looking at him weakly: "There are dozens of pear trees in the backyard. Climb up and search carefully. Maybe you can find two or three pears that can be barely eaten now. You pick them immediately, and we can share them."
When it comes to the word "eating", he seems to be a little energetic and his eyes are shining.
Seeing Chu Zheng staring at him with wide eyes, he seemed a little embarrassed: "You can't climb trees? That's okay. I think you're going to throw away the old clothes you changed? What a pity. You can go out and go down the mountain, go left, and find Liyuan pawnshop in the town. It shouldn't be closed yet, so I've used old clothes. I think the material is good, and I can probably use it as a silver tael."
The man cleared his throat and continued, "Then you can go to the roasted bacon opposite the pawn shop and buy some roast duck and crispy meat. By the way, if you don't have enough money, you can buy less roast duck and crispy meat. You have to buy enough wine to ten kilograms, otherwise you won't be enough. Go quickly, go early and come back early. I guess those three guys returned empty-handed when hunting today. I haven't eaten for two days and are so hungry that I'm so hungry that I'm covering my back."
“…”
Looking at him with a look of course, Chu Zheng was speechless and asked after a while: "You mean, the food here has been out of stock for a long time? Such a large villa is not as easy as anything, right?"
"If you can find something valuable besides this bed, you can move it together."
“…You can pick the fruit and eat it.”
"I'm lazy. Besides, if I'm not lazy, how could Fugui Villa be as poor as it is today?"
Chu Zheng was speechless again.
"This is called Fugui Villa?"
"Yes, this place is called Fugui Villa, but unfortunately it is not worthy of its reputation most of the time. Go and go back quickly, I will tell you what you have to wait for wine and meat."
Chu Zheng stroked his forehead, turned around and left.
He felt that he could not stay here anymore, stupidity would be contagious. Although he always liked to pretend to be stupid and liked others to treat him as a fool and relax his vigilance and reveal his flaws, it did not mean that he really wanted to be a fool.
Following the direction indicated by the weird man, Chu Zheng soon arrived at a small town.
It is a bit difficult to call it a town here. The streets are so narrow that they are afraid that even carriages cannot pass through. At most, there are only a hundred families, so it is more suitable to call it a mountain city or even a mountain village.
What made Chu Zheng frown was that when he walked into the mountain city, the id on his head did not automatically hide, nor did he hear the prompt "You have entered the safe area."
Something is wrong with this mountain town.
Chu Zheng paid attention and didn't find the inn, let alone the cars and horses. There were very few people on the road, but occasionally one or two players could be seen, and Chu Zheng carefully avoided it.
However, he still found that he attracted the attention of many residents. On the one hand, it may be that there are fewer outsiders in this small mountain city, but on the other hand, it may be that his clothes are.
Although he chose clothes that were as low-key as possible, the Guo family was a wealthy family after all. The spare clothes he had just changed were prepared for him by Mohua. They were tailored and had excellent materials. No matter how you look, they didn't look like they could afford to wear.
Chu Zheng found a tailor shop, spent thirty cents to buy the most ordinary and inconspicuous cheap clothes, found a secluded place to change it, and applied some dust on his face. It finally looked less conspicuous, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
When passing by the pawnshop that the weirdo mentioned, Chu Zheng thought about it and simply used all the conspicuous sets of new and old clothes, and exchanged them for more than three taels of silver.
In fact, Chu Zheng is not short of money now. He earned five gold ingots in the last task. In addition, what he touched from others, he only had 7 gold 78 silver 91 cents in cash.
However, he did not dare to show his wealth at all. This small town had a strange aura. Not to mention anything else, the tailor looked at the old man with a faint smile. However, with his rich experience in the martial arts world and extraordinary eyesight, Chu Zheng could see at first glance that this man had extremely high martial arts skills. He was only stronger than the Wu brothers. The pawnshop Lao Chaofeng was even more a master who was hidden. Even if he was not as good as Yelu Qi, he was afraid that he would not be far away.
Chu Zheng only walked around the small mountain city for a while, and almost all the residents he saw were martial arts, and most of them were not good people.
mmmp, what the hell is this? It is comparable to a dragon's and tiger's den.
After Chu Zheng walked for such a long time, his feet were a little numb. He was even weak in his body when he was hungry. He probably had to admit defeat by someone.
Looking at the players and the mysterious residents who appeared from time to time, Chu Zheng sighed. He wanted to buy a horse and travel overnight, but he didn't even see a mule. As for staying in this mountain city for a night, it was even more dangerous. He was a foreigner who was slaughtered in the middle of the night and made into human meat buns, no one noticed it.
Forget it, go back to the Fugui Villa. At least that weird person looks weird, but Chu Zheng still saw the word "real" in his eyes.
At least if you don't pretend, that person is really lazy.
If you are lazy, you probably don’t have any bad intentions because it is too troublesome to do bad things.
So Chu Zheng spent all the money he used for his clothes and all the copper coins he had on him, bought two roast ducks, five kilograms of crispy meat and ten kilograms of rice wine, and then carried them back to Fugui Villa.
Seeing Chu Zheng coming back, the man lit up and sat up and smiled, "Didn't you eat it while it's hot in the town? The roast duck is not that delicious when it's cold."
Chu Zheng was so hungry that he had no energy to walk, and he staggered with a lot of food.
Seeing that the man was just sitting on the bed and didn't come down to help take it down, Chu Zheng threw a roast duck in anger.
The man reached out to take it and sniffed it deeply, swallowed it, but didn't eat it, looking outside and said, "Xiao Guo and the other three are coming back soon, wait for them to eat together."
Chu Zheng put two jars of wine and oil paper bags wrapped in food on the ground, and then collapsed on the ground. He couldn't help but sigh that the body in this game was so weak. If it were the body in reality, he would not feel tired after walking for ten days and ten nights.
The man looked at the large amount of food and jar of wine on the ground, then looked at the coarse cloth clothes on Chu Zheng, and a warm smile appeared in his eyes: "You have also regarded the clothes you were wearing and bought the cheapest outfit? No wonder you can buy so much wine and meat back."
Wang Dong thought that the only "fool" in the world who was willing to run errands like this and pawned his own things and bought food back, but he didn't expect to meet another one today.
He looked at Chu Zheng's ordinary but honest face that could easily make people feel good, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After hearing Wang Dong's words, Chu Zheng just waved his hand and was too lazy to waste his energy to speak. It's strange that this weird person seems to have a strange charm, which can make people unconsciously let go of their guards and disguise. Even an old man like Chu Zheng is difficult to maintain etiquette.
In Wang Dong's opinion, this move was "do it just happens, what's there to yell at?" and couldn't help but laugh again.
He got out of bed before eating, slapped a jar of wine, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't wait too long, just open the lid of the jar, and those three guys will definitely appear when they smell the aroma of the wine."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud man crying: "Wow, I actually smelled the fragrance of wine! Long live Boss Wang! He actually guessed that we were also returning empty-handed today and prepared wine and food in advance!"
Accompanied by cheering, a tall, thick and thick man rushed in, staring at the large amount of wine and food on the ground, and then shouted even more happily: "Yan Qi, Lin Taiping, hurry up, the food in our Fugui Villa today is more abundant than during the Chinese New Year!"
Unlike the tall and hippie smiley and careless look before, the two young men coming in behind were obviously much more gentle.
The one on the left is very delicate, with big eyes and small mouth, which looks a bit like a little girl, but she is dressed in a man, looking like she is in her early twenties.
The boy on the right is more delicate and elegant, and can even be called beautiful, with thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes. He looks more like a girl than the one on the left, and is also the youngest, probably only eighteen years old.
"Boss Wang, who is this?" The handsome man with big eyes on the left did not look at the food and food, but looked at Chu Zheng on the ground.
"A new friend, I became a good dress and changed my food."
The tall man enthusiastically reached out to pull Chu Zheng: "My name is Guo Dalu, the one here is Yan Qi, the other is Lin Taiping. We all eat and drink freely in this Fugui Villa. You are welcome!"
Wang Dong said, "My name is Wang Dong, the emperor's king, moving like a rabbit. I don't know your name yet."
Chu Zheng sat up weakly with Guo Dalu's strength and smiled bitterly: "Can we eat and chat? My stomach has been singing."
