Walking slowly between the mountains and rivers, stopping and stopping. When the sun sets, Liu Xiu was already hundreds of miles away from the Taoyuan. No accident happened on the way, but he did not see any more beautiful scenery than the peach forest.

Standing on a small hill, Liu Xiu looked at the sunset and thought about how to spend the night.

A small village can be seen vaguely in front of him, but according to his understanding of the world, if he, a stranger, ran away rashly, even though he would not be kicked out, no one would pay attention to him. After all, it was not a relative or a bad person. Most of the villagers at the bottom here are very simple, but there are still xenophobia and vigilance that should be.

"Forget it, just find a place to camp tonight..."

After thinking for a while, Liu Xiu was no longer worried. It was amazing that he would ignite a bonfire. He didn’t have to worry about mosquitoes in early spring. Moreover, this place was not in the mountains, so he didn’t have to worry too much about when a beast would come out. Just pay attention to the surroundings.

With a decision, Liu Xiu began to look for a camping site.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu's eyes were fixed, and then his eyes shifted to the direction he looked at last second. Then, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Is there such a thing?

The direction he was looking at was a piece of land. Although it was sunset, there was an old farmer working in geographical areas. What attracted Liu Xiu's attention was the crops he was planting into the fields.

To be more precise, the seeds he sowed.

"Peanuts? It's actually peanuts!"

Although there is still a long distance apart, Liu Xiu's keen eyes are clearly visible. The other party is indeed sowing peanuts!

Last year, Liu Xiu paid attention to the fact that he did not find peanut seeds in Qingliu Town. He had not seen such a thing in the past year. He did not expect that he would have seen such a crop inadvertently.

Peanuts are a good thing. Eating them raw can replenish blood. They are also a good snack after being fried. They can be made into peanuts and tofu, which is also very delicious.

When Liu Xiu discovered this kind of thing, he immediately had the idea of ​​buying some. He could eat it as a snack on the road. He hadn't eaten it for almost a year. He still missed the taste of peanuts.

Having an idea, he turned to the direction of the old farmer farming.

When Liu Xiu came to the edge of the earth, the old farmer who heard the movement subconsciously stopped and looked at him and asked, "Is this young man wrong?"

Seeing that Liu Xiu was not a country man, and he didn't know him, the old farmer seemed a little restrained.

"The old man has disturbed me. I have nothing to do. I just saw that the things you planted here seem to be good food. I came here to ask. If it is convenient, can I sell some to me?" Liu Xiu bowed slightly.

He himself is the son of a farmer, so he couldn't help but feel a little kind of intimacy when he looked at the old farmer.

"You said this shell is really a good snack. If you want it, it doesn't matter if you sell it for you, but I have no hands at hand now. If you want it, you have to go home with me." The old farmer looked at the peanuts in his hand and smiled.

As an old man who has lived for decades, he may not have much education, but he still has a look at people. He can feel that Liu Xiu has no malice, so he did not refuse Liu Xiu's proposal to buy it.

"Will that disturb you? If you are busy, I can help you finish the rest of your work," Liu Xiu said to look at the land.

It’s not that he hasn’t planted the land, and the old farmer obviously hasn’t finished his work, so it’s not very urgent to eat peanuts. It’s nothing to help him buy peanuts.

"No, no, I'm almost done, let alone it's getting dark. Wait a moment, I'll pack up and go back." The old farmer waved his hand quickly. When he saw that Liu Xiu was not like a worker.

If a person who works often is not that clean, isn't it?

Since this is the case, Liu Xiu had to give up. After all, there is no reason to rush to help others with work.

After a while, the old man packed up, carried a hoe, and carried a basket on his back and walked home with Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu's attitude made him feel relaxed, and he talked about some family matters along the way, such as his daughter doesn't come back often when she gets married, and his son saves money to get married, etc.

The two walked more than a thousand meters in the field and then arrived at a small village. Looking around, there were only a hundred families here, much smaller than Linbian Village, and the word "poverty" runs through everything.

The polarization of the world is perverted. It is as rich as Xia Haitang. Thousands of gold are probably just an insignificant number. It is a problem for poor villagers to eat.

There is no way to do this. The bottom-level farmers are not productive, and it would be strange if they can only dig food from the ground for the rest of their lives and become rich.

In the village under the setting sun, smoke rises, chickens crow, dogs bark, children play, quiet and peaceful.

Walking along the way to the village with the old farmer, Liu Xiu found that some villagers were discussing something in a group of interest. Even if he, a stranger from the country, came, he only took a look at it at most.

Listening with his ears, Liu Xiu vaguely heard words like the Iron Armored Army bandits.

So he asked the old farmer who led the way curiously: "Old man, they all seem to be very happy. Could it be that something good happened in the village recently?"

"That's right. Just yesterday, the Iron Armored Army dispatched to wipe out the bandits entrenched in the mountains dozens of miles away from us. There are hundreds of people. Those guys plundered around twice a year. Now they are wiped out by the Iron Armored Army. Of course, it's a pity that the leader of the bandits ran away. However, the problem is not big. He can't become a climate alone. The Iron Armored Army will not let him go, and life will be a little better in the future." The old man replied with a smile.

Liu Xiu thought to himself that this is the case. The bandits are hateful. It is of course very pleasing to be wiped out. Although Liu Xiu often hears that there are bandits, bandits, robbers and the like in this world, he has never seen them until now.

Then he thought about it, the size of hundreds of bandits would not have been enough to dispatch the Iron Armored Army?

Thinking of the Iron Armored Army he met yesterday, Liu Xiu thought to himself that steel torrent was going to deal with hundreds of bandits to abuse vegetables? Is it just bullying people?

Then he thought of Liu Qingqing. The reserves said that they had gone out to "practice". Could it be that they were going to suppress bandits?

Tsk, if this is true, this is real practical training.

If the bandits mentioned by the old farmer were really wiped out by the reserve force of the Iron Armored Army, then the real Iron Armored Army that Liu Xiu had seen looked like a killing machine, which would make sense.

The so-called reserve camp is not a good hall, and it is not a good woman who believes in men. Instead, it is training real soldiers and teaching them martial arts and martial arts while also practicing their true practical skills!

Liu Xiu was thinking, maybe the hundreds of bandits mentioned by the old farmer were eliminated by the reserves.

Looking at the heartfelt smiles on the faces of the villagers around him, Liu Xiu knew that the stable environment in the eyes of ordinary people was actually caused by countless people silently fighting with their lives...

Thinking about these things that are not available, soon Liu Xiu and the old farmer came to a low thatched hut.

"Young man, please come in and sit down for a while. The poor family is not well received, so you can only quench your thirst with a bowl of cold water. Please don't be surprised. I'll help you get the red shell you want. I don't know how much you want, raw or cooked?" The old farmer led Liu Xiu to the house and said with a little restrained attitude.

The so-called red in the shell is peanuts, and the names are different. Liu Xiu learned along the way that this is not the main crop for villagers. The reason why the old man planted is actually because he would do some small business during the slack season, selling cooked salted peanuts, so there are still some at home.

"You are polite, please give me two or three pounds, well, I'm going to give birth," Liu Xiu said with a smile.

Peanuts cannot be eaten as food, so it’s good to satisfy your cravings. What you want to grow is that Liu Xiu had the idea of ​​planting some of his own. It’s amazing that it won’t take much time to go back to the mountains. After the autumn harvest, it’s good to make a stone-ground peanut and tofu.

"Then brother, wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away." The old farmer turned around and left. After a while, he brought a cloth bag and handed it to Liu Xiu and said, "Look, if these are enough, I'll get some for you."

Liu Xiu took it and opened it and saw that it was covered with raw peanuts with shells. They were not big and could not be compared with the "black soil peanuts" I remembered.

After weighing the bag for a while, Liu Xiu said, "It's enough, I wonder how to calculate the price?"

"There are a total of three kilograms of red in the shell. You can give you ten copper plates and a bag. Usually, I only sell five copper plates per kilogram after cooking. I didn't charge you a high price," the old farmer said with a smile.

This peanut is really not expensive. Although it is a little more expensive than the average grain price, it is strictly a cash crop, which is reasonable.

He took out ten copper coins to the old farmer, and Liu Xiu got up and said goodbye when he achieved his goal. This was just an unexpected transaction, and the old farmer had no intention of keeping him for dinner.

Leaving the old farmer's house, Liu Xiu was eating raw peanuts and when it was dark, he came to a small valley several thousand meters away from the village. This was the camping spot he was looking for.

Without the first time, Liu Xiu hid the basket containing gold coins. Next, he decided to take some peanuts back to the mountains to plant them before coming back. Although the journey was long, it would not take long at his speed.

Although the surroundings were dark, he still looked carefully, then stripped himself naked in a few seconds, grabbed two handfuls of peanuts and held them in his hands, and stepped out with force. The ground shook, and the sound explosion cloud exploded, and others had already disappeared into the vast night with a wave of air.

Liu Xiu took off all of himself to prevent this supersonic rush to tear his clothes.

He is not going to plant many peanuts, two handfuls are enough, and holding them in his hands can prevent them from moving forward at high speed due to friction and damage.

Compared to using the wind around to rush forward with the light and slow wind, Liu Xiu actually prefers the feeling of moving forward quickly, with the sound explosion, the roar of clouds, the air waves rolling, and the rushing wind blowing in the face. This is the romance that belongs to men, so it is not unreasonable that so many people once like to 'racing'...

Liu Xiu didn't know how fast he was. After all, he couldn't measure it. The scenery around him quickly retreated. If someone else came, he might not be able to keep up with his terrifying speed.

Boom~!

A roar echoed in the mountains, and the sonic bomb clouds gradually disappeared. Liu Xiu once again returned to the mountains that had been away for a few days, slowing down, and the surrounding airflow floated around him towards the bamboo building.

“Huh?”

Before the person was in the air, Liu Xiu subconsciously spoke up in confusion.

His vision was wide open from a high place. Although it was night, the bright moon was hanging high and his vision was not greatly affected. He seemed to have seen a black shadow flashing in the hot spring above the snow-capped mountain.

"It seems there is someone? But it makes no sense. Who would come here if you have nothing to do in these vast mountains? Could it be that you are dazzled?"

He was puzzled. After Liu Xiu landed on the bamboo building, he simply tapped his feet and went straight toward the hot spring. However, when he arrived at the hot spring, there was no abnormality, and there was no suspicious trace of the surrounding ice and snow surface.

Is it really dazzling?

Liu Xiu scratched his head and said to himself. At this moment, a huge movement came from the lake. He turned around and found that the neighbor stretched out his huge body and was looking at him. After a glance, he slowly sank into the bottom of the water and disappeared. He seemed to understand that the movement here was made by Liu Xiu and didn't care.

"The neighbor did not react abnormally. It seems that I was really dazzled before..."
