Chapter 56: Buying Land (1)
Today, many villagers from neighboring villages also ride Sun Dagou’s bullock cart to the town.
Looking at the villagers sitting on the bullock cart, Tang Sanniu asked, "Brother Sun, is there any room in your bullock cart?"
Sun Dagou saw Duan Yixin and said, "There is only one seat left. But village chief, you can sit next to me in the driver’s seat."
Since they needed to rush to the local magistrate’s office to buy land, Tang Sanniu agreed and said, "All right."
Seeing that Tang Sanniu had already sat beside Sun Dagou and a villager, Duan Yixin also climbed into the bullock cart. Sitting on the last available seat, she observed the villagers around her.
Unlike the villagers in Yunshan Village, these villagers from the neighboring villages looked haggard, emaciated, and obviously depressed. Looking at their lifeless and sick faces, Duan Yixin couldn’t help but compare them with the villagers of Yunshan Village, who looked thin but with eyes full of hope.
’It seems that the losses caused by the bandits in the neighboring villages are greater than the losses caused by the bandits in Yunshan Village. Life in ancient times was indeed no easier than life in my original world.’
Thinking about it this way, Duan Yixin was glad that she had not transmigrated into the body of a villager from another village. Even though the original Duan Yixin’s life was difficult, she still has a house and friends like Chi Xinru and Chi Xiyou. With their help, Duan Yixin got through the most difficult time when she first crossed over without much problem.
Looking away from the villagers, Duan Yixin closed her eyes and moved her mind to the warehouse. Since the journey took nearly two hours, she spent all her time unpacking the boxes and sorting items in the warehouse. Working tirelessly whenever she had free time, Duan Yixin has only opened around three percent of the total boxes in the warehouse so far.
