That night, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran stayed in the middle-aged man’s home.
Through chatting with the middle-aged man, Feng Shao got a general understanding of the situation in the village.
The ancestors of the villagers fled from the east. Seeing the beautiful mountains, clear waters, and abundant products in this place, they decided to settle here. That happened more than two hundred years ago.
As for why no one lived here more than 200 years ago…
The reason was also very simple. An occasional extremely serious famine year would leave the local area with thousands of miles of desolate land, causing starvation everywhere.
Such an extreme year of famine may only occur once in a few hundred years, but it is enough to wipe out a large area or force the indigenous people to migrate.
In many places, people are welcomed and sent off in this way. A group of people would leave and a group of people would come.
The first people to come to this village were three families named Qin, Huang, and Zhou. After more than two hundred years of development, the three families intermarried and gradually multiplied into the current fifteen families with more than seventy people.
Although there are beautiful mountains and clear waters here, it is relatively remote and the supplies are relatively simple. With caravans passing by from time to time, some supplies can be exchanged, but in general, the people here are still relatively poor.
Logically speaking, this should not happen in the fantasy cultivation world with the existence of magical storage items.But the truth is that magical storage items, which are considered a must-have item for cultivators, are simply legendary items for commoners.
And cultivators who can own magical storage items would never be idle enough to engage in the mortal transportation business.
Although transporting goods can make some difference, how much can one possibly earn from a group of poor villagers?
The middle-aged man is named Qin Hai. He is thirty-five years old, and he is indeed not as old as Feng Shao.
In addition, due to working all day long, his face looks even older, even looking a bit like he is in his fifties.
He has a son and two daughters, but another son and another daughter died not long after they were born.
This is another normal situation in this world. The mortality rate of mortal children is very high, with nearly half of them not surviving until the age of three.
After mentioning the request to stay overnight with Qin Hai, he generously packed up a room and came out. He saw that Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran were obviously a couple, so there was no need to deliberately arrange two rooms.
Well, they don’t have that many rooms either.
The wooden house had a musty smell due to dampness, but Lin Xiaoran was not concerned about such an issue at this time.
Her face was flushed because she remembered that this was the first time the two of them would be staying the night in the same room.
This made her nervous, but there was also a faint expectation in her heart.
Unexpectedly, after making the bed, Feng Shao said to her, “Ran’er, I’ll give you this bed to sleep on!”
Lin Xiaoran was taken aback and asked, “What about you, brother Shao?”
“I’ll just meditate on the chair,” Feng Shao said nonchalantly.
Lin Xiaoran felt a little disappointed.
In the end, she was lying on the bed, looking at Feng Shao, who was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, and suddenly asked, “Brother Shao, why did you bring me here today?”
Feng Shao opened his eyes, looked at Lin Xiaoran, and asked with a smile, “Ran’er is so smart, why don’t you take a guess first?”
Lin Xiaoran pouted and said proudly, “I guess brother Shao must want to establish a sect or something here.”
“Then why here? The spiritual energy here doesn’t seem to be sufficient!” Feng Shao deliberately asked back.
Lin Xiaoran shrugged, “How would I know why you chose this place? Brother Shao is always like this. Hiding half and refusing to tell the whole story.”
Feng Shao laughed and said, “It’s not that I want to hide half of what I want to say, but I think it’s quite interesting to tease Ran’er.”
Lin Xiaoran feigned anger and said, “Okay! You are making fun of me! I’m ignoring you!”
As she said that, she turned around angrily and turned her back to Feng Shao.
Looking at her like that, Feng Shao smiled but didn’t speak.
Lin Xiaoran waited for a while, and realizing Feng Shao remained silent all the time, she couldn’t help but turn around again and scold, “Bad brother Shao, don’t you know how to coax people?”
“Ah, this…” Feng Shao couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Feng Shao. A man who was single in his previous life, and has only been close to Lin Xiaoran in this life, has little to no experience in coaxing girls.
After thinking for a while, he took out two mung bean cakes from his storage ring, and said to her, “I still have some pastries here, how about you try them?”
Lin Xiaoran: “…”
Lin Xiaoran suddenly felt that her husband might have some problems with his thought process. In addition, she became very sure that Feng Shao would never hook up with other women behind her back.
After all, as far as his speaking skills are concerned, unless someone gives it to him for free, who can he cause a spark with?
