He immediately smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Sir, please come in and sit down. I'm cooking. You've come at the right time."
When Qin Yuesheng walked into the house at the woman's invitation, he immediately smelled a fragrance. It seemed that the woman's cooking skills must be good.
Qin Yuesheng sat down at the table and saw two little children sitting opposite him, staring at him with bright eyes, curious and alert.
"Do outsiders rarely come here?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"Hmm..." a little kid responded a little shyly.
Qin Yuesheng then fumbled in Tianmo's waist bag, and finally took out a piece of silver and handed it to him: "Do you know what this is?"
"I know, it's silver." The little boy took it carefully.
"Brother will ask you a few questions. If you two can answer them, I will give you more money. Then you can use the money to ask your mother to take you to Yangzhou Prefecture to buy candy and figurines." Qin Yuesheng smiled and said, "Do you understand?"
"I know, I know."
"Very good. Then let me ask you, is there any place like the Broken City on Shazi Island?"
"What is a city break?"
"It's the kind of city whose walls are broken but still exists. It looks similar to Yangzhou Prefecture, but not as big as Yangzhou Prefecture." Qin Yuesheng explained in detail.
"Hmm..." The two children held their chins with their hands and thought carefully, but after thinking about it, it seemed that they had never seen such a place before, and finally they could only shake their heads regretfully.
"Are there any other villages like yours nearby?"
"Yes, there are Broken Boat Village and Conch Village, but they are quite far from our village. We have to go south to see them."
Qin Yuesheng secretly wrote this information down. If he couldn't find any information in this village, he would naturally have to go to other villages to inquire about the news.
After throwing another piece of silver to the other party, Qin Yuesheng stopped asking questions, shut up and started waiting for the meal.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door of the house was slammed down from outside with a loud bang.
Then a dark-skinned strong man came in from outside carrying a fishing net.
"It might rain heavily tonight. When I came back from fishing, I saw dark clouds gathering over the sea. It looks like it's going to rain a lot." The big man immediately shut up when he saw Qin Yuesheng sitting at the table. He was a little puzzled: "Are there guests at home?"
"He is a young man passing by and wants to stay overnight at our house. Please treat him well." The woman's voice immediately came from the kitchen.
"What a rare guest! Usually there are few visitors to our village." The strong man put down the fishing net, and saw many shells stuck on it, and also emitting a very obvious fishy smell.
Qin Yuesheng said, "Sorry to bother you."
"Hey! Little brother, I don't like what you said. Since you came to my house, it means we are destined to meet. How can you be a bother? The world is so big, and it is fate that we can meet and talk." The strong man took a cloth to wipe his whole body. After making sure that all the sweat on his body was wiped off, he took out a jar of wine from a small cabinet and walked to the table and sat down. "This is a wine I have collected for a long time. Let's have a few drinks tonight. It's really been a long time since anyone came to our village. Shazizhou is a deserted place."
Qin Yuesheng smiled and said, "Okay."
Soon, the woman prepared the meal, which was all seafood, such as crabs, shrimps, fish, shellfish, etc. It was a typical case of living by the mountain and eating by the water. If it were in Qingyang City, these things would definitely not be affordable for an ordinary family.
Seeing the lively atmosphere while the family was having dinner, Qin Yuesheng drank and chatted happily with the strong man, and it was quite interesting to listen to him talk about his life of fishing at sea.
After eating and drinking, Qin Yuesheng lay down on the bed prepared for him by the woman and fell asleep.
This bed was originally for the two children to sleep on, but when Qin Yuesheng came, they had to give up the bed and sleep with their parents.
After all, no matter what, Qin Yuesheng is a "big customer" who pays for the service.
Late at night, large dark clouds quietly floated over the land from the sea. There was a rumbling sound in the clouds, and it was indeed a sign that it was about to rain, just as the strong man said.
However, amidst the dark clouds, it seemed as if dark shadows were approaching the shore from beneath the sea...
