At the foot of the mountain was a small village. Other than a large ancestral hall in the middle of the village, there were no other buildings that were too eye-catching. At this time, it was the slack season of farming. The people in the village were strolling and chatting outside in twos and threes.
Wu Hen had never been down the mountain before, so he was surprised to see this."So many people."
"What a fuss. Haven't you seen so many people?”Seeing Wu Hen's surprised expression, he put on an 'I don't know him' look.
Wu Hen was still surprised." Y-Yes, I haven't seen them before. I haven't seen so many people in 18 years."”
"18 years?"
"Well…actually, I saw so many people when I was just born. Oh right, what's this town called?”Wu Hen realized that he had said something wrong and tried to smooth things over.
"Is that so? In front of them was a peaceful village called Taiping Village.”Lingsha explained. However, Wuhen did not seem to hear Lingsha's words at all. He only cared about running over happily.
"Lingsha, I'll go take a look first." With that, Wu Hen ran over to take a look.
"This fool." Lingsha stomped her feet in anger.
At the entrance of Taiping Village, a burly man in a red robe and a mask was dancing with joy. He was surrounded by people. Wu Hen also went over curiously. Lingsha followed behind with a pout.
"Big Brother Wang dances really well!" A little boy in the crowd said.
"What dance? Don't talk nonsense if a child doesn't understand. Brother Wang is pretending to be Zhong Kui to fight the ghost. He still has to go to the stage in front of the ancestral hall later.”A middle-aged man shouted.
Wu Hen looked at the "Pretend to be Zhong Kui and fight the ghost" in the middle and then looked at the people around him. His eyes were filled with surprise.
Lingsha could do nothing about this slow-witted Grim Reaper. She could only shake her head helplessly. However, when she saw that it was already night time, she exclaimed,"It's getting late. I'll go find the village chief and stay at the village chief's house tonight.”Just as he was about to leave, he was a little worried. He said to Wu Hen word by word,"Listen up! If there's anything, wait for me to come back. I don't want to cause any trouble!”Wuhen nodded repeatedly, and Lingsha left.
Wuhen had nothing to do, so he walked to the market in the village and saw that there were some strange things on display in the market. Wuhen came after 1500 years, so of course, he didn't know what these things were used for, just like when Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden.
In the end, Wu Hen came to a stall selling dumplings. The stall owner was a show-off. When he saw Wu Hen coming over, he hurriedly shouted,"Fragrant and delicious dumplings! You can only eat it during the Dragon Boat Festival. After this village, there won't be such a shop! Come, come, come. Little brother, try it?"
"Is this the legendary dumpling? Is it really delicious?" Wu Hen tilted his head and asked. Ever since he was young, Wu Hen's knowledge of rice dumplings had come from novels. They said it was a Dragon Boat Festival tradition.
Hearing Wu Hen's words, the stall owner proudly boasted,""Haha, of course! You look like a hunter from a nearby village, but you don't know about the Li family. Come and try one. I guarantee you'll want to eat more!”As he spoke, he handed over a dumpling.
Wu Hen put the entire dumpling, along with the leaves, into his mouth. He frowned and chewed for a long time before swallowing it with great difficulty."Oh, not good, not good! This thing was finished in two or three bites, and the outer shell was still not chewed!”
The stall owner was dumbfounded. He only said after a while,"I say, little brother, are you joking with me?"”
"It's really not delicious." Wu Hen swallowed the dumpling and turned to leave.
"Hey, wait!" You haven't paid yet!"
Wu Hen turned around, his face full of doubt."Money? What was it? Could it be paper money? It just so happens that I don't have any cash on me."
The stall owner said angrily," One dumpling costs one coin. It's clearly written on the signboard. This is a small business. Don't try to cheat me!"”
"But you wanted me to try it, so I ate it." Wu Hen looked puzzled.”
The stall owner was furious. You want to go back on your word? Preposterous, someone come here-"
A red figure flew over. It was Han Lingsha. She had just arranged accommodation for tonight and was looking for Wu Hen on the street when she suddenly heard him arguing with the stall owner. She rushed over and asked,"What happened?"
When the stall owner saw that someone had arrived, he became even bolder."Miss, you came at the right time. This kid didn't pay for his food and even looked so righteous.”
"He asked me to try it, so I picked it up and ate it. Moreover, it didn't taste good…"
"Ridiculous!" the stall owner said angrily. You dare to look down on the Li family's craftsmanship?”It turned out that the stall owner had not gone to school, but he liked to pretend to be a scholar. He was unwilling to curse and did not have many vocabulary. It was already difficult for him to repeat the sentence "preposterous" three times in just a few short sentences.
Han Lingsha quickly apologized." I'm sorry. This friend of mine doesn't know anything about the world. He doesn't know how to talk. How much money does he owe you? I'll pay him back!"”He was furious in his heart, Yun Wuhen, I actually believed that you wouldn't cause trouble.”
Seeing Lingsha yield, the stall owner became even more enthusiastic."Compensate? He looked down on our Li family's dumplings. How can I compensate for my reputation?”The more he spoke, the louder his voice became, causing passersby to come forward and watch.
