Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 636 Small Villages in Anchang Kingdom

"Brother, can you take me to see your village? I'm not a bad person!"

After receiving this information, Chu Chen spoke to the man in front of him.

"It's alright. If you're lost, just stay in the village, rest a bit, and then wait for the government's grain collection carts to take you back to Anchang!"

The elder brother thought that Chu Chen was from Anchang Kingdom, so he warmly invited him to his village.

Chu Chen was happy with this arrangement; Anchang Kingdom it was.

If one can start from scratch in Daxia, one can also start from scratch in this so-called Anchang!

So he nodded and followed the man back to the other side of the path!

Before long, the two arrived at a small village built with thatched roofs.

There were about seven or eight households, and it looked rather deserted!

"Hey, Chieftain, weren't you supposed to be in the fields? Why are you back?"

"Who is this guy?"

At the village entrance, they encountered a boy who looked at the man with a puzzled expression.

Chu Chen only realized at this moment that the person who brought him was actually the village chief!

"Er Ya Zi, didn't the teacher give you a book? If you don't study it carefully, how will you ever be able to leave this village? Don't waste your father's one or two taels of silver!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the boy tossed out a "Okay" and ran off into a thatched hut.

Chu Chen smiled but didn't say anything. He didn't have a complete understanding of this continent yet, so it was best not to say anything.

"Brother, please excuse my foolishness. I'm just a country bumpkin, I don't know any better!"

"Hehe, brother, children are all like this. But the one tael of silver you mentioned earlier, is that what you mean?"

After saying that, a silver ingot appeared in Chu Chen's hand.

The man looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself, "How come he doesn't even recognize silver?"

So he spoke up, "Brother, are you injured? How come you don't even recognize the silver in your own hand?"

Chu Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing this, thinking to himself that if the money could be used, then that was fine.

With enough money, there's no need to worry about not being able to settle down on this continent.

So he said to the man, "You must have been injured. You can't remember many things. I'm sorry to bother you!"

After saying that, Chu Chen handed over a tael of silver: "Brother, consider this payment for the room I've been staying here for!"

The man looked at the silver in Chu Chen's hand and immediately shook his head, saying, "Brother, this is a tael of silver, not a single copper coin. Keep it safe. It's always good to have some money on you."

Chu Chen smiled inwardly after hearing this, thinking to himself that the villagers here were quite simple and honest. If nothing happened after tonight, then these villagers could be his first stop when he landed in the future.

Then he took out about twenty taels of silver from his pocket and said, "Brother, look, I still have some here!"

The man saw Chu Chen reaching outside for silver like pouring beans.

I thought to myself, who is this person? He must be the young master of some wealthy family who has gotten lost.

However, he still refused, saying, "Brother, you haven't found your home yet, so we can't take your money. Besides, don't give money away like this to others in the future. Don't flaunt your wealth!"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that he knew he shouldn't flaunt his wealth, but he wasn't afraid.

If you organize the villagers to rob me tonight, then there's no point in this village existing.

After some further refusals, Chu Chen finally accepted the silver, thanked him, and followed him into his house.

A short while later, Chu Chen entered a thatched hut.

The thatched hut was very simple; besides a few pottery pieces for pots and pans, there were only some wooden tables and chairs that they had made themselves.

On the other side, a bed made of planks and straw was probably where they slept.

A woman was sitting by the bed mending clothes. When she saw Chu Chen arrive, she immediately stood up.

"Honey, we have a guest!"

"Yeah, hurry up and cook. And this is... By the way, what's your name, brother?"

"Brother, my name is Chu Chen. I greet you, brother and sister-in-law!"

"Haha, children from wealthy families are so polite. My name is Niu Er, so from now on you can call me Brother Niu Er!"

After saying that, he pulled Chu Chen to sit down, while his wife started a fire in front of the stove.

Soon, a steaming bowl of noodles was served.

"Brother Chu, our village is nothing like the lavish feasts you'd find in a wealthy family. Just make do with what you have. Tonight, I'll have your sister-in-law kill a chicken for you to help you recover!"

"Thank you, Brother Niu Er and Sister-in-law!" Chu Chen did not refuse. After saying that, he picked up the bowl and started drinking the porridge.

The porridge didn't go into Chu Chen's stomach; instead, it was stored in his spatial storage while still in his mouth.

Chu Chen understood the principle that one should always be wary of others.

Although Chu Chen personally supervised the woman as she cooked the noodles, there were still some things that were best handled with caution.

After all, you can't judge a book by its cover, and I deliberately showed them several dozen taels of silver just now to see if they had any bad intentions.

Seeing Chu Chen finish his porridge, Niu Er gave him a simple and honest smile.

"Brother Chu, don't let my wife's skinny appearance fool you, her noodles are delicious. Are you full? Want another bowl?"

After listening, Chu Chen shook his head and revealed an innocent smile: "Brother Niu Er, sister-in-law, you've finished eating!"

After saying that, he put down his bowl and followed Niu Er out of the thatched hut.

At this time, some villagers also began to arrive outside the thatched hut.

When the villagers saw Chu Chen, they all asked, "Niu Er, who is this brother?"

"Haha, this is Brother Chu. He got lost, so I brought him back. We just finished eating."

After hearing this, the villagers all looked at Chu Chen with puzzled expressions.

After a long while, an elderly man walked up to Chu Chen and asked, "Young man, judging from your clothes, you must be from the city. How did you end up here?"

"Old man, I was being chased and injured, which is why I came here. I apologize for disturbing you!"

The old man looked at Chu Chen and said, "It's alright. In a few days, the grain collection team from the city will come. Just stay here and I'll have them send you back."

As night fell, Niu Er's family slaughtered a chicken, then cooked a meal with mushrooms they had picked from the mountains, and warmly pulled Chu Chen to the table.

On the table, there was also a jar of wine in a ceramic pot.

Chu Chen couldn't tell what kind of wine it was, but it was probably homemade.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone started talking more.

Chu Chen listened quietly from the side, occasionally interjecting, but he also gained a lot of useful information from their conversation.

After the crowd dispersed, Chu Chen was taken to another thatched hut.
