Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 134 Uses of Citrus

In the afternoon, Wu Chen saw a small green forest shrouded in clean light from afar.

These trees are about two or three meters high. There are no fruits on them at this time. There are several women carrying wooden buckets to water the trees.

Obviously, these small trees should be the specialty citrus in Ganlin Village.

Wu Chen also put down the old man Zhang on his back.

On the way, he disliked old man Zhang for running too slowly, so he simply carried him on his back and hurried on his way.

Otherwise, it would not have arrived so soon.

"Remember, don't reveal anything about the territory yet."

At this time, Wu Chen specially instructed old man Zhang again.

"Don't reveal the territory?" Old man Zhang didn't understand what Wu Chen meant.Now that you're recruiting, why don't you disclose it?But he still complied.

After finishing speaking, the two walked towards the orange grove.

The outer edge of this citrus grove happened to be the outer edge covered by the net source light. As soon as the two entered the citrus grove, they immediately felt that their breathing became much smoother, and they also smelled the faint fragrance of the trees.

"Old man Zhang, where is Xiao Zhen?"

"Who is this young man? He's a face-to-face guy?"

When several women saw the two people coming over, they greeted each other, and couldn't help looking at Wu Chen.

There is no way, although Wu Chen looks ordinary, but his body is well-trained, and his complexion is also good, giving people a very energetic feeling.

"Xiao Zhen is still looking for food outside. This is Wu Chen. I'll take him into the village first to see what's wrong. Are you in love?" Old Man Zhang laughed inappropriately.

It immediately caused these women to spat.

Passing through this citrus grove, we soon reached a small village.

The village is small and can be seen at a glance, but it is surrounded by solid stone walls.

Wu Chen also noticed that on the other side of the village, there was a relatively small area of ​​farmland. Some people were working on the farmland. Another specialty of Ganlin Village, sweet potatoes, should be planted there.

When Wu Chen and old man Zhang came to the gate of the village, someone above had already discovered it.

Because a high platform was built near the village gate, and a young man stood on it, who should be responsible for the lookout.

It should be because he saw old man Zhang, he didn't have any special reaction, but just stared at Wu Chen, an unfamiliar face.

Old man Zhang greeted him, and took Wu Chen into the village.

As soon as I entered the village, I heard a lot of chickens crowing.

It turns out that in this village, many chicken coops and chicken houses have been built.

Now seems to be the time for activities. Many roosters and hens, big and small, are running around in the village. Their feathers are white, black, yellow, brown, and there are many varieties.

It's just that the chicken feces all over the place make people feel uncomfortable. When Wu Chen walks, he has to pay more attention to his feet.

The people who stayed in the village also noticed Wu Chen and looked at him curiously.

But they are all old and weak, women and children, and no young adults are seen.

Old man Zhang soon led Wu Chen to the village chief in a wooden house in the center of the village.

The village chief is also an old man, but he looks much better than the scrawny old man Zhang.

After Old Man Zhang introduced Wu Chen's situation, the village chief immediately began to extend his olive branch.

"Brother Wu, when you first came to this wasteland, you must have a place to stay. What do you think of our Ganlin Village?"

The one who can be the village chief is naturally not a stupid person, he saw Wu Chen's strength at a glance.

"You are welcome, the village chief. I heard that there are many villages in this wasteland. I haven't decided where to settle yet. I just hope that I can rest in the village today." Wu Chen politely evaded.

"It's easy to talk about. By the way, let me give you a taste of our Ganlin Village's specialties."

The village head seemed very enthusiastic, and even took out two of the local specialty citrus for Wu Chen to eat.

Not to mention, the citrus from Ganlin Village is sweet and clean, with only a little sourness. It melts in your mouth and has a very good taste.

Wu Chen quickly finished eating the two oranges.

"These skins can't be wasted. They will be dried and stored later, and they will become tangerine peels."

The village chief put away all the citrus peels that Wu Chen had not eaten, then took out some tangerine peels, boiled water to soak the tangerine peels, and gave them to Wu Chen to drink.

While Wu Chen was drinking tangerine peel water, the village chief explained again,
"Soaking tangerine peel in water can benefit qi and invigorate the spleen, dry dampness and reduce phlegm. In our village, the tangerine peel is made for three main purposes. The first is to soak in water for drinking. After soaking, chop the tangerine peel. Hello. Make feed for chickens; the second is to take it to other villages to sell, the tangerine peel is also a kind of medicinal material, and the third is to use tangerine peel to stew chicken soup, but generally only the injured have this treatment."

Wu Chen couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

Or the people on this wasteland will live.

It's not like those modern people, who just throw away the peel after eating oranges, don't understand the virtue of frugality at all!

While Wu Chen was chatting with the village chief, there was a loud noise outside.

It seems like a lot of people are coming back.

Wu Chen, old man Zhang and the village chief all went out at once.

Then I saw more than a dozen young and middle-aged men walking in from the entrance of the village.

They also held various pickaxes, hammers, pickaxes and other tools in their hands, as well as swords, spears, axes and other weapons.

Some of them were still carrying baskets, not knowing what they contained.

However, Wu Chen also noticed that each of these people looked listless, which made the atmosphere a bit dull.

"Master Wu, these are the guards from the village. This time, they are going to mine on the outskirts of Huqiu Mountain. It just seems that there is nothing to gain from this trip."

Old man Zhang whispered in Wu Chen's ear.

"Mining?" Wu Chen said softly.

"Yes, the mined ores can be transported to Furnace Town in the north, where they can be sold and exchanged for weapons," said the old man Zhang.

"Furnace Town?"

"After going north to Lu Village, and a few days further north, you can reach Furnace Town. That Furnace Town was also built with Zhongjingyuan, so it is a town. There are blacksmiths and furnaces there, which can smelt ore to make weapons. ." Old man Zhang explained.

"Did you gain so little today?"

The village chief came over, looked at the harvest of the mining team, and sighed.

"No way, there are very few ores in the outskirts of Huqiu Mountain, and we didn't dare to go deep, so we only got these." The leader, a middle-aged and calm man, said helplessly.

"Village Chief, who is this?"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man looked at Wu Chen again.

"Under Wu Chen."

Wu Chen stepped forward, glanced at the group of guards, and then looked directly at the village chief, "Village chief, I have something to say just now, but now that there are so many people, I can't vomit quickly. "

"What do you want to say?" The village chief frowned, and he keenly felt that there was something wrong with Wu Chen's expression.

"What I want to say is very simple."

Wu Chen pulled old man Zhang into the field, pointed to him and said, "When I was living in the wilderness, I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Zhang and rescued me. I am grateful in my heart, so there are some things that I must say."
