What are these people so excited about? It turned out that after Ruyi Zi occupied the Fetus Fountain, he demanded a high price. All of a sudden, the Fetus Fountain became a scarce commodity.
Fang Linyan remembered that he had read in the relevant literature that a small half bucket of Fetus Fountain could even be used as an old woman's coffin book. Now it seemed that this writing was a bit exaggerated, but it was not far from the truth.
However, at this time, Fang Linyan was still in close contact with the ordinary people in Xiliang Female Kingdom for the first time. He suddenly had many mysteries in his heart,
For example, although this country was known as a women's country, there were actually men, and it was not an isolated phenomenon. At least they could still be seen frequently on the streets. However, there were indeed fewer young men. This was actually a bit unworthy of the name, right?
Not only that, Fang Linyan also inquired that the people also called it Women's Country. The name Xiliang Female Kingdom would only be used in formal occasions, just like the usual news broadcast: Today, the foreign minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland visited our country …
After people saw it, most of them were probably confused??? With a black face full of question marks.
However, if the official name was switched to the folk mode, it was directly: Today, the foreign minister of the United Kingdom visited our country, then it must be clear to 99.99% of the people at a glance.
In addition, Fang Linyan also had a question. That was, why would pregnant women spontaneously abort the male fetus?
Especially in the current environment where the neighboring countries all took pride in giving birth to male children and prioritized male children over female children. Carrying on the family line was the most important thing. How could a normal pregnant woman voluntarily go for a prenatal checkup (take a look at the fetal fountain)? Then abort the fetus? This kind of behavior that went against the trend was simply unimaginable!
Just at this time, according to Fang Linyan's calculation, it was estimated that the bloody light beam would appear soon. It was time for him to make some preparations.
Therefore, he looked around and found that it was dinnertime. Coincidentally, there was a restaurant nearby that was three stories tall and occupied a large area. The people inside could be said to be bustling with activity, and there were many guests sitting inside. Therefore, his heart moved, and he directly went upstairs.
Because of the blurry direction of the bloody light beam, it would only move after the target was 20 to 30 meters away. Therefore, the more people there were, the safer Fang Linyan was.
Because even if the enemy were to attack, they would have to find his real body among the dozens of square meters of people!
In this case, it was obvious that this three-story restaurant had a strong camouflage effect on Fang Lin Yan. There were people on every floor, and there were quite a lot of diners. It was three times more difficult for the enemy to find him.
After Fang Linyan went to the restaurant, he found that most of the waiters were women, but there was also a male waiter inside.
However, this person's face was full of wrinkles, and he looked to be in his fifties. His movements were still abnormally nimble. He put a white towel on his shoulder, and when he called out the names of the dishes, the words came out of his mouth. It was as if he had the shadow of rap in the future.
Some of the customers even ordered two more dishes even though they knew they couldn't finish all of them just to hear him say the names of the dishes a few more times.
At this time, it happened to be Brother Wang's turn to receive Fang Linyan. After chatting for a while, he knew that Fang Linyan had stayed in this restaurant for almost 40 years. Fang Linyan was surprised. He wanted to continue to ask, but soon a new customer came. Brother Wang excused himself and went to receive the new customer again.
Fang Linyan looked around at this time and found that there were still quite a lot of male diners in the restaurant. They probably accounted for 1/5 of the diners. Judging from their dressing, they should all be merchants from other places. There were also a few who looked very strong and fierce. They should be the escorts of the retinue.
Of course, these young and strong men must have become the focus of everyone's (women's) attention. The people nearby were whispering.
As for what they were talking about, it was similar to a group of male students eating in a university cafeteria. Suddenly, a girl wearing a tight-fitting skirt with long legs and black stockings walked in. The group of male students' eyes immediately lit up, and they winked at each other before poking and kicking each other. It was similar to what they were talking about.
At this time, Fang Linyan secretly rejoiced that he disguised himself. Otherwise, he would be criticized by a group of women (aunties, sisters-in-law, and strong women). They were discussing whether his butt was perky, whether his chest muscles were thick, and his crotch … (11 words were omitted here), then he would really die on the spot.
At this time, Fang Linyan's heart suddenly moved. The bloody pillars descended again. The bloody light was like clouds and mist, surging straight into the sky!
This time, what made Fang Linyan's heart tighten was that 6 bloody pillars appeared directly near him … If these 6 bloody pillars represented an individual, it would be fine. If they represented a team, then the situation was really dangerous to the extreme!!
There was a saying that the storms from all directions gathered in Zhongzhou. In such a small area, there were so many space warriors. If he was not careful, he would be in trouble.
Fang Linyan's whole body was tense at this time. He quietly waited for the development of the situation, but surprisingly, the 6 bloody pillars didn't move at all! Everyone seemed to be holding their breath and waiting for something …
After a long time, until the bloody pillars faded away one by one, the 6 parties actually maintained an absolute restraint state. This really made Fang Linyan a little puzzled.
But soon, an idea flashed in Fang Linyan's mind …
There was only one possibility that could make a group of hungry wolves restrain themselves and stop fighting among themselves. That was, there was one or even several tigers ambushing not far away!
The place where the 6 bloody light pillars gathered was equivalent to a feast on the table for the ambitious and powerful team!!
No matter how these wolves hated each other and couldn't wait to chew each other's bones and swallow them into their stomachs, they had to stick together when facing a strong enemy. The result of internal strife was that everyone would die together! For a small character like Fang Linyan, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't have any ability to take the initiative to attack. Of course, he was also doing nothing.
Those powerful warriors or teams who were favored by the space warriors and were shielded (bloody light pillars) were quietly lurking aside, patiently waiting for the opportunity of prey to appear.
Soon, the dishes ordered by Fang Linyan were served. The local specialty was rice skin with beef and mutton. The eating method was similar to Beijing roast duck. It was stewed with rice skin and vegetables.
Fang Linyan ate the dishes in big mouthfuls. Although he felt that the taste was like chewing wax in his mouth, he still tried to integrate his words and deeds into the local crowd nearby.
That was because those Space Warriors who were shielded (bloody light beams) like scavenging vultures might not leave immediately. Most of them would stay in the same spot for a long time, patiently identifying their prey in the vast sea of people.
Fortunately, Fang Linyan had also been with a top scout like Vulture Lipper for a long time before. He knew that the detection skills of professional scouts had relatively long cooldown time, and they often had to pay a price.
Detection skills, on the other hand, required perception to support them. Without high perception, the information detected was pitifully little.
Just like playing basketball, no matter how good your skills were, no matter how many bonus badges you had, without the support of the 3 basic attributes of strength, agility, and height, it was useless. If you encountered a professional player, it would be a piece of cake.
What's more, rashly using detection on strangers was almost the same as directly lifting the skirt of a big girl. Maybe a sensitive local powerhouse noticed your detection, and he would slap you in the face.
This kind of thing was really not rare. When eating in a restaurant, because of looking at a few more times, the other party would question "What are you looking at?", which led to a lawsuit.
Because of this, there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Golden Side Mission difficulty world. Even if those teams had many talents, they didn't dare to attack directly.
In this way, before the opponent's space fighters were detected, they would have to fight many muddled battles inexplicably. This kind of battle where they didn't even know the enemy's information was the most taboo. Even if they won, their own battle losses would not be low.
Therefore, even if there were enemies lurking in the dark, they would only use detection. As long as Fang Linyan didn't show any flaws as much as possible, and it was best if he could blend in with a group of local residents, then the probability of being discovered would be greatly reduced.
Fang Linyan smiled and nodded directly to an old man in his fifties next to him, then he said,
"I heard this father-in-law speak with a slight Jiangbei accent. May I know if you are from the Huai River region?"
This old man looked kind. Seeing Fang Linyan speaking politely, he said,
"My second son is not from the Huai River region, but he once opened a shop there and did business for 20 years, so his accent is a little unconsciously! You have a good ear! "
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"My wet nurse and father-in-law speak almost the same way. She is from the Huai River region, so she is very familiar with your accent, so she asked this question! In this case, I really have to disturb you. I have to ask father-in-law to bring some news of my hometown back to comfort her homesickness. "
As soon as Fang Linyan finished speaking, he immediately called the waiter and asked him to put his table together, then serve the good wine and dishes.
The food at the old man's table was very simple. There were 7 people at the table, and he only ordered 2 dishes: a large pot of biscuits and a large pot of boiled radish.
Probably because he wanted to eat the biscuits dipped in boiled radish, the old man also begged the waiter to put the boiled radish back into the stove and put more salt before serving it.
The rest of the people originally disliked Fang Linyan's self-familiarity, but when they saw him take out the money and slap it on the table, he directly ordered the dishes such as hand-shredded chicken, roasted lamb, boiled water, and other dishes. It was obvious that he wanted to treat everyone to a good meal.
As a result, the smiles on the faces of the people next to him became flattering, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
By the time the whole roasted lamb was served to them, everyone's interest was piqued. Their mouths were dripping with grease.
Next, the famous White Water Liquor was served. The clear wine was poured into the bowl with gurgling sounds. The hop smell was really good. One would feel intoxicated just by smelling it.
In this atmosphere, Fang Linyan quickly figured out the background of this group of people. They were people from a country further west five hundred miles away. All of them had the same surname from the same village. The old man who led the group, Gu Ding, looked old, but he was only 46 years old!
Because of the drought in his hometown, he could only gather some capital to bring the young people in the village out to make a living. He took the risk to do business in Xiliang Female Kingdom.
It was not without reason that people regarded Xiliang Female Kingdom as a dangerous place. The native residents here were all women without exception. Of course, there were men in the country, but they were all old and weak. Therefore, when young men came here, it was easy to be raped if they were not careful.
Moreover, most of the women who could do such things were clumsy and strong village women. They definitely did not have any aesthetic sense! Think about it, such strong village women would come up and sit on you. Moreover, there would be a group of them.
Moreover, they would force men to use medicine and demand excessive demands. In such days, even if one's waist was made of iron, he could only last for a month or so.
In addition to the risks in this aspect, there was also the risk from the officials.
Xiliang Female Kingdom did not prohibit men from entering and leaving the country. However, every few years, the country would start to enlist corvee labor. This was equivalent to a census. All the men in the country would be forcibly recruited.
Regardless of the old or young, as long as they did not have a local household registration, they would all work in the corvee labor. These engineering projects were made use of the men's physical strength advantage, such as road construction, river management, irrigation works and so on.
The duration of the corvee labor was at least three months. Although food and accommodation were provided, there were many who were tortured to death during this period. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be forcefully detained for three months. All their belongings would be plundered clean. Even if they did not die, they would lose a layer of skin.
Not to mention the tragic experience of the strong young men. They had to dredge the river during the day and dredge the sewers at night. After working day and night, not to mention three months, they would collapse and die in ten days.
Because of the two reasons mentioned above, a group of people would change their expression when they heard about Womanland. They regarded it as a flood forbidden land.
However, Xiliang Female Kingdom dared to enlist corvee labor every few years. They did such things like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. They had nothing to fear.
This was because this place had a unique geographical condition in the Western Region. It was one of the rare countries that focused on agriculture. Moreover, there were many minerals in the country. Therefore, within a few thousand miles, many of Womanland's specialties were scarce goods.
As the saying goes, humans die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food. As long as one had the courage to take a stroll and gamble on his luck, if he did not encounter corvee labor, then he could earn three times the profit. There was really no lack of people who could fight for a way to survive in this dangerous land.
