Chapter 33 The Kingdom of Tang, a strange village, a new template (please vote for me!!!)

Snap! Snap!

In the crisp sound of horse hooves, accompanied by the roar of the horse.

"Whoops! Boss, whoosh! Haven't we arrived yet? I, I feel like I'm going to be exhausted!"

"You've just dismounted and walked a few steps and you're already exhausted. It seems like your usual training volume is still not enough. Why don't you double the amount before you go back?"

"Ah?! I, I'm not tired! Who said I was tired!"

Yahiko, who was walking on foot, was breathing heavily as he talked. In comparison, Kumokawa and Nagato, who were riding horses, were much more leisurely.

Three days have passed since they crossed the border and entered the territory of the Country of Fire.

"Idiot, stop complaining. If my brother hadn't attracted the people from Konoha, we wouldn't even be able to cross the border of the Fire Country. Then we would have to take a boat and take the waterway to bypass the Fire Country."

"However, with your useless physique, you will definitely vomit and collapse after sitting on the boat for several days. It is really a pity to think of missing that scene."

Maybe it's to vent the pressure, or maybe it's because he can't stand Yahiko.

Nagato rode alongside Yahiko and made sarcastic remarks, causing Yahiko to glare at him.

Just didn't wait for him to reply.

Accompanied by the neighing sound of the horse, Yunchuan, who was wearing regular clothes, tightened the reins, and the horse under him also stopped.

Seeing Yumikawa who was leading the way suddenly stop, Yahiko subconsciously raised his head and looked ahead, suddenly showing an expression of tears of joy: "Wow! After walking for a day, I finally encountered a village!"

Not far in front of the few people, there was no longer an endless forest of weeds, but a path stretching into the distance.

You can vaguely see some building outlines, all thatched houses, with earth and stone walls and thatched roofs to protect them from rain, giving them a unique sense of simplicity from the past.

The most conspicuous and unconventional thing was a tall building with huge vaults and buttresses, all made of masonry, which made Yunchuan take a second look.

With his powerful vision blessed by his "Pure Eye", he could see a sign on the building.

Seems like a circle with a triangle inside?

In addition, there are large deserted fields on both sides of the path, and a few short and thin figures can be vaguely seen.

The men were all wearing short shirts and holding a shovel in their hands, as if they were filling the ground with soil.

As soon as Yunchuan and the others walked onto the path, they looked up.

"Hey!" Yahiko jumped up and waved to them, shouting, "Uncle, can we borrow a room to take a rest?"

Yun Chuan did not stop his rash move, he just squinted his eyes and looked at the people in the distance.

As if hearing the sound, three people came over.

"I am the mayor of this village. May I ask, where are you from?"

The leader was an old man, holding a cane in his hand. He seemed to be forty or fifty years old. His old face was covered with wrinkles, but his smile was very kind.

However, when he saw them, Nagato frowned.

The condition of this group of people seems to be much better than that of the refugees in the Rain Kingdom.

All of them have rosy complexions, unlike normal refugees, who are sallow, skinny, and skinny.

However, based on what they saw and heard along the way, it should be the border of Yuno Country.

Neither protected by the Country of Fire nor welcomed by the Country of Yu, can they still have enough to eat in the current chaotic situation in the ninja world?

"..."

Although Nagato discovered a lot of doubts, he didn't think his brother didn't notice it. Since his brother didn't say anything, he tacitly chose not to say a word.

"Old man, we are from the Country of Fire and want to go to the port of the Country of Tang."

Kumokawa patted Yahiko who was about to speak, and said with an apologetic tone in his gentle tone: "This child's character is so reckless. I hope you don't mind his rudeness."

"Excuse me, how far do we need to go to get to the port?"

"The port is far away." The old man shook his head, pointed towards the east, and sighed, "It will probably take you a day or two to get there on horseback, and the nearest village will take another half a day to walk, and the road is not very good. Good to go.”

After that, he paused, looked at Yunchuan and the others, and said with a smile: "I think you are not a bad person with two children. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for one night and wait until tomorrow." Let’s go before dawn.”

Can I stay overnight?

No more sleeping in a tree?

Hearing this, Yahiko's eyes lit up.

However, the recent training has been quite effective. Instead of responding as decisively as before, he looked up at Yunchuan expectantly.

He's just easier to get into, and he's not so stupid that he can't distinguish priorities.

"We can't live up to the old man's kindness." Yun Chuan didn't even look at him, but said with a smile on his lips, "Then I'll trouble you."

In this case, the four people and two horses walked towards the village.

"Old man, why are the fields here so abandoned?"

"Alas, there used to be tea trees growing here, but the weather was bad and no one dared to pick them. If you pick them, you have to pay taxes. The land rent also costs 60% of the income. In the end, you have to pay a lot of money."

As soon as these words came out, Yahiko, who originally had no idea about these things, looked at Kumokawa on the horse again.

Especially the old man's endless complaints made his perception of Yunchuan change.

Greedy landlords dare to demand 60% of their income for land rent!

For a normal landlord, land rent costs 40% of his income.

In comparison, Yunchuan only needs 30% of his income, so he is simply a philanthropist.

Moreover, almost all landowners used big buckets in and small buckets out. They lent farmers grain, using small buckets to contain it, and when collecting rent, they used larger buckets.

Even if you are lucky and encounter a benevolent noble, their slaves will still cheat, and in the end there won't be much difference.

It was the first time that Yahiko felt Kumokawa's "kindness" so deeply.

"By the way." The old man walked slowly and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "May I ask, what are you going to the port for?"

"Oh, it's a long story..."

Hearing Yun Chuan sigh with emotion, I originally thought he was going to keep the story short. The old man made a listening gesture with a smile on his face, but then he heard Yun Chuan's conversation suddenly changed:

"Since it's a long story, I might as well not mention it. What's your name, old man?"

Ga?

As soon as he said this, Yahiko squeaked and stumbled with his left foot and his right foot, almost breaking his waist.

Immediately, he looked up at Yun Chuan with a horrified expression, unable to believe that he could still tell cold jokes.

But isn’t this way of changing the topic a bit too blunt?

"..." The smile on the old man's face also froze, and his wrinkled face looked very funny.

But he soon put on his face again, smiled and shook his head and said: "Your temperament is a nobility at first glance, so don't tease me, an old man. People in the village call me Uncle Xiangshan."

With a smile on his face but no comment, Yunchuan walked all the way to the village, passed dozens of closed houses, came to a relatively clean courtyard, and took them into a side room.

Apart from the two beds, there was nothing else in the room.

"Hope you enjoy your evening here."

The old man who opened the door turned to look at Yun Chuan, with a sincere smile on his wrinkled face.

"I also hope you can have a sweet dream tonight." Yun Chuan responded with the same gentle smile.

After watching the old man slowly disappear after closing the door, Yun Chuan shook his head and looked at the room.

It seems to be a temporary residence reserved for outsiders.

Apparently, they weren't the only outsiders to live here.

As for those who came before them…

"Alas!"

Yahiko threw himself on the bed and rolled around with a look of satisfaction on his face.

But in the next second, Yun Chuan pinched his collar and lifted him up.

"Can't you smell that rancid smell that even perfume can't cover up at all?"

Nagato sneered, then walked to the bed and gently lifted the bed.

Yahiko, who was still fluttering, subconsciously looked down, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his face turned pale due to the stench that hit his face.

I saw that there was an empty space under the bed.

It was filled with pale and horrific skeletons. Some of the corpses were not even completely decomposed, and their shriveled and pale faces could still be seen vaguely.

"It seems that we have encountered a black shop."

Yun Chuan chuckled and looked up out of the window.

I saw that the setting sun was sinking over the distant wilderness. Different from the sublime feeling brought by the hanging sun, the red sun above the desolate land was so big that it made people feel lonely at a glance.

The only background that sets it off is the boundless sky and the boundless land. The sun falling towards the village is like a huge tomb sleeping in the earth.

And that extremely tall stone building is the lonely tombstone on this tomb pit.

That sign...

"The Cult of Evil God?"

Yun Chuan murmured in a low voice, and with a thought in his mind, his consciousness sank into the depths of his mind.
