Chapter 269 Baihe Township, Feudal Fool(1/3)

"Tiance Army stayed to watch the horses, and the rest went into the village with me."

Li Yu ordered all of them and led everyone along the path towards the countryside.

There are four villages in Baihe Country, scattered among these mountains.

There are about 700 families and more than 4,000 people.

The village ahead is called Hecun, which accounts for nearly one-third of the population in the largest village.

The location of the village school is Hecun.

Li Yu and others appeared in the fields, which soon attracted the attention of the villagers returning home.

However, no one dared to come forward to ask, because everyone's dressing temperament was obvious.

"Let me find someone to ask where the villages are studying, be more polite."

There was no need for Li Yu to speak up for some things, so Li Yan called his subordinates to give instructions.

The subordinate left, and soon found a villager, asked and returned.

"Young Master, according to the villagers just now, go straight to the village and walk the second fork, and then go to the left to see the courtyard with a peach tree in front of the door. It is the newly built rural school."

The Jinyiwei, wearing a short-skinned moan, saluted Li Yu and replied.

Li Yu nodded slightly. This time he went out and suddenly visited the countryside, in order to try to see the most real situation.

So he changed into regular clothes and asked his subordinates to change their names.

Even he changed his appearance a little.

Although he is still handsome, he at least does not have the power similar to charm.

"Let's go in."

Li Yu smiled and walked towards the village, "It's almost noon now, and the village school should still be cooking. We can catch up with it faster."

"yes!"

Li Yan and Tieshan looked at each other and quickly followed.

Entering the village, the path has changed from dirt to stone slabs.

The surface of the stone slab is blue-gray, and moss grows on both sides near the soil.

The houses in He Village are built on both sides, with different heights. Most of them are thatched huts and mud walls, and only a few yards are made of bricks and stones.

Li Yuyuebai's long boots stepped on the bluestone path, raised his eyes and looked forward.

There is a big tree at the intersection not far away. The golden sunlight falls on the ground through the gaps of the leaves, like a broken marigold.

He walked closer and found that it seemed to be a yellow fruit tree with a large trunk, but it was hollow in the middle.

The branches spread out like lotus flowers, with lush branches and leaves, retaining a hint of shade at midsummer noon.

Li Yu did not stop there, but continued to move forward.

Perhaps it was because they had too many people and had too much noise, or because they saw their villagers returning in the fields and spread the news about outsiders.

When everyone passed by the houses, the owners inside stood in the yard, at the door, with their eyes either alert, curious, and excited.

The appearance of the villagers immediately aroused the vigilance of the Jinyiwei.

When the former looked at Li Yu and others, the latter was also observing them.

Most of the people in He Village have normal expressions, as long as a small number of them are not in good condition, with their feet floating and their eyes fluttering.

Li Yu could see that some people were out of hunger, while others seemed to be out of fear.

"When I came in, I didn't find any evil spirits. Could it be some monsters or something?"

He thought in his mind that if there was something wrong with Hecun, he should have reported it to the county for a long time.

However, those people are in abnormal condition, so it is best to ask their subordinates to inquire again.

Except for those who seemed to be in a wrong state due to panic, Li Yu had never found any other problems from the villagers of He Village.

As for those obviously hungry, he ignored them.

Since the great changes in the world, everything in this soil has grown fast.

As long as you are honest and diligent, you will have a bumper harvest of any grain and vegetables.

Those people had healthy limbs and the house they lived in was very dirty from the outside. I think it was probably because they were too lazy.

He would be reluctant to take a look at this kind of lazy man, let alone sending food and helping him.

Others are working hard to live, but you are the only one who needs help from others.

So what should I do if this makes those who live a good life?

Li Yu turned left at the second fork, and saw the peach trees and the yard in the distance at a glance.

At this moment, smoke from cooking was rising in the yard and there was a faint sound of people coming.

When they arrived outside the yard, the Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door quickly opened from inside and a young scholar appeared.

"You are not from He Village or Baihe Township, right? Do you know that this is a rural school established and built by the county government?"

When the scholar saw Li Yu and others, his eyes were on the latter for a moment, and a shock flashed in his eyes.

He quickly came back to his senses, looked alert, and moved out of the county government to shock everyone in front of him.

"We came from the city and went out for a walk nearby."

Li Yu took the initiative to salute, smiling at the corner of his mouth, and was as demeanor as a young man from a noble family. "I saw that there was a village here, so I was curious to come in and take a look."

"And then I heard from the villagers that there was a rural school built by the county government here, so I thought about coming here to visit and take a rest by the way."

When the scholar heard this, he looked dazed on his face. Although he felt that it was so dangerous in the wild, the other party was very bold and strange when he even went out for a walk.

But when he saw the guards beside him were full of momentum, he felt that no wonder he had the courage to come out.

He opened the remaining door and saluted Li Yu and the others, "I have met the young master and you all in the lower Zhu Li. I just rude, so I thought you were looking for the wrong person."

"This is a county government construction, not all. Since the young master wants to rest, he can just come in. However, the construction of the village school has not been completed yet, and the courtyard is in a mess, which may cause the young master to be luxurious."

Zhu Li's eyes were on Li Yu's clothes. No matter how poor his eyesight was, he could see that the clothes were made of extraordinary materials.

"It's just a piece of clothing, it's not a problem."

Li Yu looked down at his clothes, then smiled and saluted to the other party, "Li Ang, I have met Brother Zhu."

"I dare not, please."

Zhu Li quickly replied to the gift, feeling flattered.

He stretched out his hand sideways and led his hand to the yard.

Li Yu stepped in and felt his eyes lit up and became much empty.

From the outside, the village school is not very big, but when you enter the courtyard, you will find that it is much bigger than you think.

There are a lot of wood placed in the yard, only two-thirds of the house have been built, and there is also a room with only the foundation.

Because the construction has not been completed, the ground in the courtyard is covered with a thin layer of wood chips and dust.

After people pass by, they will leave obvious footprints.

"Young master probably hasn't eaten yet. We are cooking. Do you want to go together?"

Zhu Li hesitated for a moment, and finally asked Li Yu on his own initiative.

After just saying that, he felt a little regretful.

It’s not that I’m stingy with that little grain, but I’m just worried that the other party will look down on the coarse grains in the countryside and are afraid of being rejected.

But to his surprise, the young man from the city was very easy to talk to.

"Then I'll have a hard time Brother Zhu. This is our meal money, so please accept it."

Li Yu and others are all martial arts practitioners, and it is nothing to do if they don’t eat a meal.

But since he is a traveler who goes out for a trip, he is naturally tired after a busy morning and needs to rest and have a meal.

Next to him, Li Yan took out a ingot of silver and handed it to Zhu Li.

"No, there's too much, I can't ask for it!"

When the latter saw Yinzi, his face changed suddenly, and this was at least ten taels.

Before the major change, it was enough for three to live a year, and now it is enough for at least three months.

It's just a meal, so there's no need to do that.

"Haha! My subordinates have an amazing appetite. You have cooked as much as you eat."

Li Yu smiled heartily and didn't want to get too entangled in this matter. "If there is still something left, it will be considered as if I donated it to the village school."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li had to accept it, "There is a stool in the house here, so please sit down with you. Let's go to the kitchen and ask Aunt Gou and the others to do more."

The scholar left quickly, and Li Yan directed his men to bring a seat from the house.
