Chapter 1069 People's Life
Xuyang had already marked the towns and villages they would encounter along the way on a map and had shown it to Shengze before.
Shen Qingqian pulled the reins and moved his stiff neck, "Okay, let's go over there quickly."
It was already dark and the moonlight was weak, but Sheng Ze and Shen Qingqian could still see the road.
The two continued to move forward and arrived at the small village after more than half an hour.
Thanks to the placement of the magical spring, the weather in Chenzhou has improved slightly in recent days, and even this remote village has benefited.
The originally cold and dry weather suddenly became moist. The ice in the soil slowly melted and some water could be pumped out of the ground.
When Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze arrived, they saw that the village was brightly lit and everyone was crowded around the well at the entrance of the village, actually digging a well.
The two men looked at each other, dismounted, and slowly walked towards them, leading their horses.
"Who are you?" Someone noticed them and immediately stepped forward and asked vigilantly.
Shen Qingqian smiled and walked forward, saying to the woman in front of her: "Auntie, we are passing by here and would like to stay in the village for one night. We are willing to pay twice the price of the inn in the city. Do you think it is convenient in the village?"
When she heard that they were looking for a place to stay and were willing to pay, the old lady immediately became enthusiastic and said, "Oh, that's not a big deal. I have a spare room at home. Just follow me."
Money is hard to earn these days. The two people in front of her are obviously people of status and must not be short of money. She has to bring them home quickly to avoid having her business snatched away by others.
In fact, few farmers have extra rooms. The lady who led Shen Qingqian and the others was surnamed Chen, and everyone in the village called her Aunt Chen. Her family got their daughter married last month, so they had a room free.
As they walked, Shen Qingqian asked, "Auntie, can I borrow your barn to tie up the horses? Don't worry, we'll pay for it."
"Of course you can! My Tiger Boy went to the mountain to cut grass for the cows today, which is just right for feeding your horses. Just give the money as you see fit." Aunt Chen was so happy at the thought that she would soon have some income that she almost danced with joy.
Shen Qingqian was a little surprised when she heard there was fodder. "Auntie, I saw you guys were digging a well just now. Can you get water?"
"Yes!" Aunt Chen said excitedly, "It wasn't possible before. A few days ago, we discovered that the village well had started to produce water. Everyone was worried about water shortages in the future, so we discussed digging a deeper well."
They have been working all day and are about to finish work.
Shengze also spoke at this time, "Is there any food left in the village?"
Aunt Chen glanced at Shengze and thought that this young man was very handsome. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is food at home. You won't starve. However..."
Shen Qingqian immediately interjected, "I understand, I understand. We'll give you the money, so don't worry, Auntie."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of silver from her sleeve pocket and handed it to him, "Take it first. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it."
Copper coins are the common currency used by the lower class people in this world, and silver rarely appears.
Aunt Chen's eyes lit up when she saw the silver, and she quickly took it and said, "That's enough, that's enough. This is my home. Please come in, two guests."
Shen Qingqian raised her eyes and saw a neat but somewhat shabby small courtyard.
It can be seen that the owner has taken good care of the house.
Aunt Chen started calling out as soon as she entered the yard, "Old man, Tiger Wa's mother, come out and greet the guests!"
