The reason why Wu Qingyuan decided to choose Lin Laogen to help him is naturally confident.

Whether before or after the end of the world, he has a lot of experience. In a few words, you can see who Lin Laogen is. A rural man who can put noodles in a bamboo tube and take them home is not slippery. He may not be so efficient, but he is reliable.

When he got a bowl of Yangchun noodles and half Guan copper coins, Lin Laogen almost laughed. He put the copper coins in his pocket. He began to take the initiative to ask Wu Qingyuan for information and where to find him.

Now Wu Qingyuan asked. Although he ate noodles and was generous, he gave the fare first. In fact, he didn't have any silver on him.

There are a lot of gold bars in his space, but he is not ready to take them out for the time being. The size of gold bars is not small. One of them is exposed in this town, which is easy to cause trouble. His only silver now is to get off the ship, and the merchant captain thanks him for his modern navigation knowledge, including his clothes.

So he can't stay in the inn until he gets the silver.

"Haven't you figured out where to stay, little brother?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Laogen couldn't help asking tentatively.

He met many people from outside like Wu Qingyuan at the dock. Looking at his clothes, he guessed his difficulties.

Of course, he didn't guess the real situation of Wu Qingyuan. He just guessed that he said he came here to find someone, so he must settle here before finding someone. It's not cheap to live in an inn. Wu Qingyuan doesn't look like a person who can live for a long time, so he's worried about settling down.

"Yes, uncle, I'm not familiar with this place. I haven't figured out where to settle down for the time being. In addition to looking for someone, I also want to find a village to settle down here. But I've encountered a shipwreck before. All the official documents on my body have been in the water. I don't know whether I can decide here or the surrounding villages. I don't know which is suitable..."

Wu Qingyuan didn't hide his nod. At the same time, he answered and said what he wanted to settle down.

In terms of settlement, he also learned about it while he was on the ship. The population statistics of this place are incomplete and the management is not strict. It is said that there was a rare famine in the Xia state more than ten years ago, and many people died. It was just when the population was strong, it was not difficult for strong workers like him to settle down.

While talking, he observed Lin Laogen's expression and saw that the other party's face was normal. Instead of showing a different color because he had no ID, Wu Qingyuan was relieved.

"Well, it's better for you to go back to the village with me and stay in my house for a few days. I'll help you inquire about the relative you said. If you can find someone, you can go directly to take refuge in your relative. If not, you can think of another way... My house has a room. You can stay in my house and give me ten, no, eight Wen a day. It's much cheaper than the inn!"

Most people in the countryside are simple. He looks good and has a good temperament. He doesn't look like a bad man. Lin Laogen didn't doubt his words and his identity. He enthusiastically helped him find a way. Of course, the last sentence is the key.

"OK, thank you, uncle."

After talking for a long time to make extra money for his family, Wu Qingyuan smiled and nodded when he saw Lin Laogen waiting for him to answer with a little uneasy. He didn't see that Lin Laogen looked honest and had such a business mind.

As soon as the matter was discussed and the noodle money was given, Wu Qingyuan followed the happy Lin Laogen to leave the wharf and go to the willow village in each other's mouth.

After talking for so long, it's getting late. After earning his money today, Lin Laogen is not going to squat at the dock anymore. He immediately returns to the village.

Along the way, Lin Laogen probably had a warm attitude and talked a lot because he earned his money. However, most of the topics revolved around his two children. How clever our son was. He was praised by his husband when he first went to a private school. Our little brother was so capable that he could work in the field and cook everything. He was so wordy that he didn't look like a man at all.

However, Wu Qingyuan was very patient and didn't think he was bored. The last human feelings were indifferent. Let alone talk about family, unfamiliar people couldn't even call. He hadn't experienced such a simple and grounded feeling for a long time.

Once in a while, Lin Laogen would laugh out of his mouth and be more warm and close to him.

Liushu village is not far from Shiqiao Town. Of course, this is not far, which is defined by people here. When walking from Shiqiao Town to Liushu village, Wu Qingyuan estimated the time. They walked for more than an hour.

This is because he and Lin Laogen are big men with good physical strength. If other men with poor physical strength and slow pace, I'm afraid it won't work without a two-hour journey.

At sunset, Wu Qingyuan finally saw the willow village in the mouth of Lin Laogen.

This is a small mountain village near mountains and rivers. The scale of the village is medium. Looking at the house from a distance, it is estimated that there are two or three hundred families. There are rows of willows on the roadside at the entrance of the village. Willow village should be named after this. The whole village is full of smoke and vitality, and the scenery is suitable for people. Wu Qingyuan likes it very much.

After entering the village, he found that the life of the people in the village should be fairly good.

Although most of them are still houses with walls and thatched roofs, the villagers on the road look very good, not hungry. There are several good houses built with bricks and tiles in the village. It can be seen that the people in Liushu village are not rich, but they are definitely not poor.

He remembered that merchant ships had docked in some small villages and towns on the canal before. The people in those villages were yellow and skinny, like starving ghosts, and the houses were all kinds of rags. In contrast, the villagers in Liushu village were also yellow and skinny, malnourished, but the overall living standard was relatively good.

Nodding in his heart, Wu Qingyuan continued to listen to Liu Laogen's wordiness and go with him after Liu Shucun was included in the candidate list of his settled village.

As he was walking, a villager suddenly ran in front of him. He took Lin Laogen and began to talk before he could breathe.

"Lin Laogen, you're back. Hurry up. Your brother Lin quarreled with the old lady that week. He's almost fighting with a stick!"

"What? Why did he quarrel with the old woman of the Zhou family again? This child, Jinshui, where are they now? I'll go right away."

Hearing the villagers' words, Lin Laogen's face changed and asked anxiously.

"They are in the village square now. I'll take you there..."

The villagers answered quickly, and then supported Lin Laogen and began to run anxiously. Wu Qingyuan also followed.

It was only a few minutes' walk from the entrance of the village to the village square. The three arrived soon. Before they went there, they saw that the sunburn was surrounded by villagers, and the chattering was very lively.

As a power, Wu Qingyuan's facial features and six senses are very sensitive. At a glance, he saw the two protagonists in the middle through the gap of the crowd.

One is an elderly woman with a strong figure, wearing a Tibetan blue floral dress and mixed with black and white hair, and the other is a boy who is only eighteen or nine years old with a large green spot on his face and doesn't look good.

They were surrounded by the crowd, each holding a stick in his hand. They had a fierce quarrel with a red face. The old woman was sharp and mean. The young man was smart and refused to admit defeat. No one would let anyone. They were so angry that they blushed and had a thick neck.

As soon as Lin Laogen came, the old woman finally took a breath, threw down the boy, transferred her anger to Lin Laogen, who was weak in combat effectiveness, and howled at him with a sharp voice.

"Lin Laogen, you've been beaten a thousand knives! Look what you teach. You dare to quarrel with my old woman with a stick. You can't find a little brother like him who doesn't even pay attention to his elders for hundreds of miles! If you don't explain to me today, I won't finish with your Lin family!"

"Zhou Nai, it's me who quarrels with you. Why do you scold my father?"

The old woman transferred the fire to Lin Laogen, and the boy was even more angry.

A 10-year-old boy standing next to him also ran to Lin Laogen to explain.

"Daddy, it's Zhou a Nai. Today she asked brother Zhou to go up the mountain to cut firewood. Brother Zhou met a blind bear on the mountain and came back alive. He almost caught his hands. Zhou a nai didn't buy medicine for brother Zhou. She beat people. You see, brother Zhou was about to be killed by her! Brother helped brother Zhou talk. She also relied on us, saying that my brother was angry with her and let our family lose money for her Loss! Yes, don't listen to Zhou Nai's nonsense... "

The child pointed to brother Zhou around the boy and said angrily.

Wu Qingyuan also looked at it. It was not convenient to take off his clothes for people to see because of his identity. However, from the blood stains on the whole body of the thin young man named Zhou Ge'er, and the bruises and scars on his exposed arms, ankles, neck and face, it was not difficult to see that the injury was really light.

The villagers around also discussed and proved the fact, but the old woman of the Zhou family was a famous fierce and cheating woman in the village. Everyone dared not speak too loudly for fear that the old woman would spill her anger on herself and cause trouble.

Mrs. Zhou listened to the whispers in the crowd. Her face was not good-looking, but she couldn't refute it. No matter how fierce she was, she couldn't offend the whole village. Therefore, she had to scold the third Lin family father and son.

"Bah, it's none of your business for me to discipline my children. I lost my firewood knife before I cut the firewood back. A knife worth more than 20 Wen can eat a kilo of meat. This loser shouldn't be taught a lesson? As far as your family is nosy, no wonder you look so ugly. It may be retribution. No one wants to marry..."

"Mrs. Zhou, what are you talking about? Why can't my brother Lin get married?"

Just after listening to his son's report, Lin Laogen, who had not responded yet, heard Mrs. Zhou's words. The honest man instantly blew his hair and roared.

Not to mention that Mrs. Zhou and the surrounding villagers were startled, even Wu Qingyuan was trembled by his voice.
