Chapter 370: Qingqiu Village
"Huh..."
Yoshihiro stopped in front of the village and took a breath.
Then, he began to look at the entrance of the village.
An ordinary Japanese village.
The building materials are mostly wooden mixed bricks and tiles.
The atmosphere in the village is quite peaceful and quiet.
At a glance, you can see that humans account for about half of the race. The rest are beast-eared demons and flying winged people.
Yoshihiro's clothing style is not special here, but obviously few people pass through this small village, so as soon as Yoshihiro appears at the entrance of the village, he attracts the attention of many people.
Most people just glance at it and don't pay much attention.
...except for the two children.
They were playing lattice in front of the soba shop.
After seeing Yi Xing, he ran over happily and surrounded him asking questions.
"Big brother! Are you here to play in our village?"
"No, no, it's obviously my sister!"
"No, it's my brother! He's wearing men's clothes!"
"Can my sister wear men's clothes too?"
"That's my brother!"
"elder sister!"
"Ah haha..." Yi Xing smiled awkwardly, and then did not clarify his gender. He just said: "I am just a traveler looking for someone. I happened to pass by here and came to have a look. I didn't come here specifically to play.
of."
"Oh! Then big sister, where did you come from? Are you from a place far, far away?"
"It's the big brother! Big brother, aren't you riding a horse? Are you always on foot?"
He felt that it was necessary to hide his identity and not let them know that he came from another world. Otherwise, it would definitely arouse vigilance.
So, he answered with a smile.
"I started traveling from a very far away place. There were indeed horses in the beginning, but recently, my horse was lost, so I had to start walking. As for my home, there are many, many dumplings. There are so many
Can it drown people? That’s why it’s also called Tuanzi Sea.”
"Hey~ it sounds so interesting! There is such a sea!"
"Hmm! And sister, your horse is gone, so unlucky! Walking all the time is very tiring! We went to the forest to pick mushrooms and walked around, and we were exhausted after half a day!"
The other child nodded sympathetically, and then shouted excitedly.
"Then let me be Big Brother's guide. I'll introduce you to interesting places in the village! And the best hotels!"
"I should say eldest sister! And there is obviously only one hotel in the village! Sister, let me be your guide! I am much more reliable than him! I am also better at jumping grids!"
"Hmph, it's obvious that I'm the best!"
"it's me!"
"I!"
Yi Xing felt helpless and amused when he heard them arguing like this.
Then, he declined the kindness of the two people and said that he would just take a look around.
Of course, after finally meeting such an enthusiastic child, he still wanted to get some information.
First I asked three things.
First: Ask them if they know Taro Hirai.
Third: What is the currency used here.
Regarding the first question, they all said they knew each other and gave Yi Xing his home address.
Second: Ask them if they have seen the person he is looking for here.
Yoshiyuki explained the characteristics of Erina, Hime-chan, Asakura and others, as well as the clothes they wore when entering the portal.
But the two children looked at each other and shook their heads to express that they had never seen it before.
As for the third question, they felt very strange and answered in confusion.
"Huh? Of course I use Jiuyuan coins? Everyone in Jiuyuan Township uses them, right?"
"Yes, yes...but I should call you big sister! Why do you ask such a strange question, sister?"
"Because I have been to many places along the way, and some of them don't use long-lasting coins at all. Instead, they use shells, beautiful small stones, etc. to trade."
Yi Xing lied casually without changing his face and his heart did not beat.
"So every time I go to a new place, I have to ask what currency is used there? You should remember this knowledge, it will be useful when you travel in the future."
When the two children heard this, they thought they had gained valuable knowledge and were very excited.
Children of this age are full of curiosity, so they pester Yi Xing and ask questions, wanting to know more about what happened during the journey.
However, Yi Xing couldn't keep making up the story, so he found an excuse and left.
Originally, he wanted to ask them if they knew where they could make money by doing short-term work.
But I always feel that if I continue to be entangled with them, my secret will be exposed sooner or later. So it is better to leave as soon as possible while I can.
He soon arrived at Hirai Taro's house.
Although he was walking fast along the way, his eyes were not idle, and he was always searching the surroundings.
He focused on three places.
One is the bulletin board.
In ancient times, various commissions were often written on such places, and rewards were given, hoping that ronin, mercenaries, exorcists, etc. would help solve the problem.
But there are only some trivial things written on it.
It's like informing everyone about the new products in XX store, and asking if anyone has picked up something he lost.
There is no profitable information.
The second place is the only hotel in the village that the two children mentioned.
Many large carriages were parked far away, and the stables were almost full.
There is probably a caravan reorganizing here.
Next, there's the weapons shop.
He saw the firearms displayed for sale. There were mainly two types.
The first is steam firearms.
It can shoot a variety of bullets, from simple gunpowder bullets to various special effect ammunition.
These firearms have complex rotating shafts, gears and lever structures, as well as steam pipe-driven components. They are quite stunning in appearance and extremely complex in structure, making them works of art.
Therefore, even the most common steam gun is much more expensive than a good sword and crossbow.
In short, judging from this gun and the partial structure of the train that was peeked before, this world is developing towards the steam technology tree.
Since nothing can be seen from this small village, I don't know what their specific level of technology is on this line, but probably due to the differences in world laws, there are some black technologies that are difficult to create in the earth world.
The second type of firearm is a psychic firearm.
It's easy to understand, it's driven by spiritual power.
The spiritual firearms here do not have bullets, but have to provide battery life by replacing energy blocks. They rely on ejecting energy to kill the enemy.
There are even types that can release spells with guns.
Because he looked at it twice, the owner of the weapon shop smiled and asked him to come over and take a look. If he liked it, he could sell it to him at a low price.
So, even though Yoshiyuki had no money, he still shamelessly went over to admire it carefully, and finally shook his head pretending to be regretful, saying that although he was interested in it, it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it now.
