Myriad Paths

Li Qi took Shen Shuibi and Lao Ma and walked into the village.

There was nothing special inside, just an ordinary village, with only one cow in the whole village, but... Li Qi felt that it was probably not an ordinary cow.

Then again, it seems that there are no ordinary cows in this world.

Just like most horses are spiritual horses, cows also have their own unique features.

Li Qi knew that his bull power technique was to give himself "the power of a bull".

In other words, a cow, under normal circumstances, has a huge force of six thousand pounds.

Just kidding, what is the concept of six thousand pounds?

As a researcher, Li Qi knew that in his world, one horsepower is equal to 75kg, which is one hundred and fifty pounds, that is, if a horse can drag one hundred and fifty pounds of things at a speed of one meter per second.

In other words, this cow has 40 horsepower, and a 40-horsepower tractor can be equipped with a carriage and pull fifteen tons of cargo, and it is still very easy.

During World War II, the Soviet T-37 tank only had 40 horsepower.

This cow is really a small tank.

After entering the village, Li Qi put down his backpack and exchanged things with the villagers who came over.

Lao Ma accompanied Shen Shuibi, and Shen Shuibi seemed to be a little shy, so she leaned on Lao Ma and tried to hide herself in the corner.

Inexplicably... Why wasn't she shy when she saw me?

Oh, it seemed that she was scared at that time, but when they met again, I fooled her with my words for the first time, and then she seemed to be familiar with me and was no longer afraid.

Then I was lucky enough not to encounter this rabbit being shy.

Lao Ma also accompanied her. Although he was very weak and old, as a dragon colt, ordinary people who had only practiced martial arts were unlikely to approach him.

And Li Qi went to the side to exchange goods.

The villagers had mountain products and food, but they were short of money. Generally, merchants came to the village to exchange some mountain products, and then took the mountain products to the shops in the city to exchange money, and then used the money to buy goods and send them to the mountains.

Li Qi had wanted to do this before, but it was not appropriate now.

"Fellow villagers, I don't want to exchange mountain products. Do we have beans? I want to exchange some beans and dried meat." Li Qi said to the villagers who came.

There were more than ten villagers around, all holding mountain products, such as fungus, mushrooms, wild pepper, wild chestnuts and the like.

"Beans, don't you all want mountain products? Why do you want beans?" A peasant woman asked in confusion.

"We are not going to exchange money, we want to gather some food for the journey!" Li Qi shouted to the people around him.

"Oh, no wonder you brought a horse and a young wife, it turns out you are not a serious merchant, okay, I will go get you beans." A peasant woman packed up her own mountain products and went back to get beans.

"My family has slaughtered pigs this year, and there is some bacon, but how much is the price? Don't confuse me." A peasant woman asked suspiciously, looking at Li Qi carefully.

"Don't worry, you won't suffer a loss! We will calculate by money! I have a lot of money, you have a lot of money, let's make the exchange after we count the money correctly!" Li Qi shouted.

"What do you want to exchange beans for?" another villager asked.

"The horse is sick, it needs to eat something good." Li Qi explained.

"My God, horses eat better than people! So precious!" Another villager was shocked because he saw that Li Qi's basket was full of rice cakes.

It can be seen that he himself eats rice cakes, but feeds beans to horses.

Beans are not cheap, they are much more expensive than rice!

"There is no way, horses run faster after eating them, but I will only fart after eating them!" Li Qi said a witty remark.

The surrounding villagers were amused and laughed, and after a conversation, they seemed to be familiar with Li Qi.

In this way, he exchanged things with the villagers while talking, exchanging the extra salt, farm tools, cloth, spatulas, and some medicine for headaches and fever.

He exchanged a few bags of dried beans, about 50 to 60 kilograms, and some yams and sweet potatoes, which were used to make up for the shortage of beans.

There were also some mountain products.

A peasant woman's family was sick and she was in a hurry to change the medicine, but there were no beans at home, let alone meat. She begged Li Qi to exchange with mountain products, so Li Qi softened his heart and exchanged a bag of mushrooms and black fungus.

The woman also knew how to be grateful, so she gave Li Qi a lot more. Li Qi should be considered to have made a profit, although he couldn't use it for the time being.

But... you can eat it on the road, right? Just treat it as improving your taste and being better to yourself.

He himself couldn't distinguish mountain products, so he didn't dare to pick them randomly. If he died from eating them, no one would be responsible.

Who knows if that thing just looks like mushrooms?

It's better to be honest and don't be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses.

There were also some dried meat, these were the big ones, these dried meat pieces exchanged for two hoes and a small bottle of coarse salt of Li Qi.

Meat is really expensive.

After exchanging things, Li Qi also changed the things in his backpack.

And he was not idle, but helped the villagers to pull stones.

When Li Qi collected the backpack and prepared to go back, he saw that

it seemed that the stones in the ground hindered the reclamation, but the stones were too heavy and too big, and they were stuck in the ground, even the cow couldn't pull them.

A group of villagers pulled with hemp ropes, and pried with wooden sticks behind them, but the stones didn't move at all.

Seeing this, Li Qi simply went up to give orders.

"This is not how you pull heavy objects." He walked up and said, "Come here, put it on your shoulders, and learn my posture, so that you can use your strength more easily!"

Li Qi is an old tracker. He can pull a big boat. What does a stone mean?

With the help of him and the cow, and some trackers' chants, he called on the farmers to work together to pull the stone out of the ground.

This kind of stone is a good thing. When it is pulled out, not only does it create an extra piece of land, but it can also be broken into pieces and made into stone mills or other things. It is a very useful material.

Li Qi said goodbye and helped him along the way.

By the time he returned, it was already noon and the sun was beginning to set.

He was easy to talk to when exchanging supplies, and he also helped the villagers. Although he had only been here for half a day, he got along well with the others, and some people had already started to call him little brother.

As for the other side...

Shen Shuibihe held the old horse and huddled against the wall.

It looks like social terror.

Maybe this is the rabbit.

They both stayed here until Li Qi finished his work in the afternoon and came back with his backpack.

"Well, well! Why are you shrinking like this?" Li Qi said to the two people while holding a large backpack.

"You're back!" Shen Shuibi, who had been nervous, rushed out and grabbed Li Qi's sleeve: "Have you finished changing things? Then let's go!"

"Well, the things have been replaced, but why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Li Qi was very surprised.

Isn’t it possible that the society will not reach this point?

"I have a hunch that something bad is going to happen!" Shen Shuibi said in a panic.
