077 Garfield's Caravan (2)
077 The caravan "induced" by Garfield (II)
There were a lot of medical supplies in the cellar of "Pinhuaju", and Chen Xiansong sent someone to take them out. Seeing his subordinates being applied with ointment, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the wounded were separated and moved into the houses of the Graystone Village. Of course, the caravan paid some small money for this.
The members of this caravan were all black-haired and dark-eyed Zhendan people. Their clothes were mainly robes. The leading middle-aged man was wearing something similar to the archer armor. Chen Xiansong had seen patterns in history books before. Next to the middle-aged man, there was a young man wearing a long blue-white silk dress. He was staring at some Bai Min behind Chen Xiansong.
"Thank you, gentleman." The middle-aged man bowed. The Zhendan Kingdom called a nobleman different from other countries. He brought a purse from his subordinates and handed it over, and said, "A little thank you, no respect."
The bag contains gold coins, about a hundred pieces. The medical supplies Chen Xiansong gave to the other party were worth about twenty or thirty gold coins. He was about to decline, but Bai Min, who was standing behind him, suddenly stood up and took out the wallet in the middle-aged man's hand.
Bai Min is so beautiful that most men will be attracted to her, such as the young man who is still staring at her. But this middle-aged man looked extremely dull when he glanced over Bai Min, as if Bai Min was just an ordinary woman in his eyes.
Both sides made some polite conspiracy, Chen Xiansong invited the two to come into the house to tell the story, and the middle-aged man happily agreed.
Compared with other nobles, Chen Xiansong's "home" seemed very simple in terms of luxury goods. In addition to the exquisite tableware and tea sets sent by Udir on the day of his stay, as well as some golden nanmu furniture sent by the lord's mansion, there were no other valuable things. When the young man saw this situation, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and the middle-aged man exclaimed. He found that the layout in the house was quite interesting, and there seemed to be a kind of inexplicable connection between things. He thought for a long time, and when his head was so painful that he was almost confused, he finally thought of a word: convenience.
Bai Min and Alice served flower tea together. Bai Min stepped aside without saying a word, but Alice said in a very harmonious voice: "Master, please use it slowly."
Although Alice always quarrels with Chen Xiansong back, she is actually very sensible. When there are outsiders, she always gives Chen Xiansong enough face. The young man's eyes turned around Alice, and then returned to Bai Min. Chen Xiansong took a sip of hot tea, and the wind and snow outside just now made him very cold.
Next, both sides reported their names, the middle-aged man was Chen Zeyi, and the young man was Chen Guangrong, who was the nephew of the middle-aged man.
Chen Xiansong also said his name.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he said, "Oh, the sir is also Chen, maybe we were a family five hundred years ago."
Chen Xiansong laughed a few times. He had watched such conversations in historical TV series before, but heard them in reality, and it was really a bit new. In the new era of humanity, there was no boundary between countries and nations. Race represents more a kind of culture than other things. However, because Chen Xiansong grew up, most of the Asians with black hair and black eyes were still there, so he felt that Chen Zeyi was a little kind of intimate.
"The Zhendan Kingdom is quite far away from here." Chen Xiansong asked curiously while drinking tea: "There is still apart from the Uwa Kingdom. Now Uwa and Lihua Tsubasa are in war. The nearby border is very dangerous. Why are you still running thousands of miles to Kate Kingdom to do business?"
Chen Zeyi smiled bitterly: "No matter how chaotic or dangerous it is, can he compare to the current Zhendan Dynasty?"
Chen Xiansong nodded: "I heard someone mention this matter, saying it was a great famine in the Zhendan Kingdom, and many people fled."
"Sir, aren't you from the Zhendan Kingdom?" Chen Zeyi asked curiously.
Chen Xiansong shook his head: "No."
Chen Zeyi sighed sadly: "A once in a thousand years, the six southern provinces have no grains. Originally, the six southern provinces were granaries of Zhendan, but now ordinary people have eaten up all the moss on their backs, and they are even hungry to eat. However, the disaster relief grain distributed by the imperial court has been deducted layer by layer, and most of them have been in the pockets of corrupt officials. The hungry victims have had to fight. At the beginning, they used the banner to eliminate corrupt officials and clear the monarchs. But not long after, as the number of rebels increased, they became "kings, ministers, generals, and ministers, and they began to rebel nakedly."
Chen Zeyi continued to say slowly: "The rebels captured the gentry, which is the nobles mentioned in the Kingdom of Kate. Whether good or bad, loyal or treacherous, they would be killed. Women were sent as military prostitutes, men were tattooed on their faces, and they would be slaves forever. Therefore, the gentry had to flee in large numbers."
Chen Xiansong said: "So, you guys are too..."
"Your Excellency, did you see?" Chen Zeyi's face was full of bitter smiles: "Our Chen family is also a member of the fugitive gentry. My nephew and I were responsible for exploring the way ahead, but I didn't expect that when we were sleeping at night, we were suddenly attacked by dozens of Garfield cats while staying overnight. We suffered heavy losses, and there were not many injured medicines on the way. Everyone in the caravan was a child of our Chen family. In a hurry, he bumped into your territory. Please forgive me."
Chen Xiansong waved his hand: "It's okay, what are your plans next? I just looked at it. Many of your wounded people are seriously injured and are not easy to travel far. Besides, it's cold now. If you go out, it will not be very good for the injured to recover."
Chen Zeyi thought for a while and said carefully: "Your Excellency, we want to stay here for a while until the children are injured better, can we leave?" As he said, he didn't know that another purse was found from his body and placed it on the table. Judging from the muffled sound caused by the collision with the table, there were at least a hundred gold coins in the purse: "I heard that the Kate Kingdom is different from our Zhendan. The land of the nobles is privately owned, and even the royal family cannot violate it casually. Following the local customs, this is some of our little intentions. Please accept it. We hope to set up a tent outside the village for a while, and we also hope that the gentleman can grant this small request."
It was just staying with the villagers for a few days, which was not a big deal. Chen Xiansong certainly agreed. He was about to ask the other party to take back the money on the table, but at this time, Bai Min suddenly stretched out his hand, took the bag without saying a word, and turned around to the secret room where the gold was stored. Chen Xiansong had to touch his nose and give up.
After receiving the promise of the owner here, Chen Zeyi was obviously relieved. Both sides politely asked for a while. Chen Zeyi left after using the excuse that he wanted to deal with the caravan's stay. The young man seemed reluctant and kept looking back at the door where Bai Min left first.
In the evening, Bai Qianxin, who likes to sleep in like Chen Xiansong, came down from the third floor to have dinner. She bit her vegetarian dishes in her mouth and asked, "I just saw that there were more guys outside like caravans. What's going on?"
Chen Xiansong told the story. Bai Qianxin smiled when she heard it: "You are indeed a good person. I should praise you for this. You are worthy of being a child taught by the new human beings. But... it is actually very dangerous for you to do this. Do you know?"
"Dangerous?" Chen Xiansong was a little confused.
Bai Qianxin said earnestly: "In such a dark civilization era, only a small number of people can be called humans, and more of them are beasts in human skins. No one knows what they will do next moment. I have seen many people who smiled at you the moment but stabbed you in the back the next moment. You shouldn't let them live outside the village casually without knowing the details of others."
Chen Xiansong was a little dissatisfied: "But they have a lot of wounded people, and we also have our own armed guards... If we really fight, it will not be good for them. I think they shouldn't be so stupid. Besides, being convenient to others is convenient to yourself."
"It seems that you have considered the decision before you made it." Bai Qianxin nodded and said, "Then I feel much more relieved, but I still think it's better to drive them away."
Chen Xiansong was about to speak, but Bai Min stood up and stood in front of Bai Qianxin.
"Biochemical people are not allowed to interfere with the decisions made by new humans and natural people." Bai Min's eyes flowed through her, and her eyes looked at Bai Qianxin lifelessly: "Biochemical people have no right to suggest. If you question Xiao Song's decision again, I will regard you as an enemy."
Alice looked at the two of them with a look of at a loss. She liked her sister Bai Min very much, but also liked Bai Qianxin very much. She felt that it would be a pretty good thing if she had such an older sister. Now she seemed to be quarreling, and she didn't know who to help.
Bai Qianxin was stunned for a while, and finally patted her head with some annoyance: "Damn it, the relationship is too rich, I almost forgot this rule... You are right, Xiao Min, I was negligent about this matter, I admit my mistake. But... Xiao Min, you are too fond of Xiao Song like this, you can't even question him a little!"
"No." Bai Min said coldly.
"Okay, OK, Xiao Min, let's have a meal." Seeing that the situation was wrong, Chen Xiansong immediately came out to smooth things over.
After dinner, while Bai Min was going to wash dishes, Bai Qianxin pulled Chen Xiansong to the storage room on the fourth floor. It was quite quiet and the sound insulation effect was very good.
"Xiao Song, I was a little self-righteous when I was supper just now." Bai Qianxin said sincerely: "After having feelings, I can't find a balance between reason and emotion. I'm not trying to interfere with the decision you make, sorry."
Chen Xiansong shook his head vigorously: "Don't say that, I'm not happy that there is too many people to help me with references."
"Then I'm relieved. I'm really afraid that you will feel annoying to me." Bai Qianxin patted her tall chest with peace of mind: "Actually, I'm more worried about Xiao Min. Judging from the situation just now, she cares too much about you. If something happens to you or suffers in the future, I'm afraid she will get stuck in the brink and do some incredible things."
"You mean?"
"For example, things like massacre." Bai Qian said worriedly: "So, you must be careful in everything yourself. No matter what you do, you must seriously consider the consequences. Never let Xiao Min have that situation, otherwise the consequences will be difficult to deal with."
Chen Xiansong nodded, and suddenly, he felt a lot more stressed.
Outside the entrance of the village, Chen Zeyi's caravan had set up a tent to check in. The uncle and nephew were eating dinner around a hot pot.
Chen Guangrong suddenly said, "Uncle Six, that guy named Chen Xiansong took away our two hundred gold coins in one go. Are you too greedy? Two hundred gold coins, not two hundred silver coins, but he didn't even send some food to him. This person is too incomparable. He is obviously just a little noble in a small village."
Chen Zeyi glanced at his nephew: "So you want to encourage me to kill that guy, and then you can go and snatch that maid who looks like a fairy?"
Chen Guangrong looked embarrassed: "Sixth uncle, I don't think so."
"Guangrong, now we are "the whole clan fleeing". This is the Kingdom of Kate. The strong dragon will not suppress the local snake. I think it is worth spending 200 gold coins to buy a peace. You should put away your little thoughts. If a man wants to accomplish great things, he must first give up women and gold."
After Chen Guangrong's little thoughts were revealed, he felt embarrassed for a moment, but not long after, he spoke again: "Sixth uncle, this man named Chen Xiansong is obviously a citizen of our Zhendan Kingdom, but he has become a noble here. Do you think this is a bit strange?"
Chen Zeyi knew that although his nephew was lustful, he was not a fool, and he would have unique insights from time to time: "What do you think?"
"Sixth Uncle, that's what I think." Chen Guangrong put down the bowl in his hand and said slowly: "I think I have seen a beautiful person in the world before. In our Qingyang City, there is no such woman. But I really have the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman. Sixth Uncle, don't you think it's strange? It is said that there are such beautiful women among the Sun God servants, but how can the Sun God servant become an ordinary maid?"
The sixth uncle frowned and his face was very disappointed: "After talking, you will still be circling on women. Your lustful habits must be changed."
Chen Guangrong hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, please listen to my nephew. I, Chen Guangrong, are a man of great eternity, but when I saw that woman, my first thought was to snatch her. Kate is a barbaric place, and the snatching people even more. I looked carefully. There was only about fifty guards here, and the owner of the manor looked even more cowardly and could be bullied, but no one came to snatch the woman. Why? Liu Uncle, you don't like women, so naturally I don't think it's strange, but in my opinion, this matter seems to be a bit tricky."
Chen Zeyi took his black beard to his knees: "I heard what you said, there are indeed doubts. What do you think? Let me say it first."
"This Chen Xiansong is very likely to be pretending to be a ox and eating a Garfield cat." Chen Guangrong said slowly: "It is possible that he is a descendant of a large family and a large family. Like us, he escaped from Zhendan, but they left early, built power here, and even became nobles. What we see is the appearance, and there may be their secret stronghold not far away around."
