Chapter 194 Grocery Store

The villagers opened their mouths to explain with great enthusiasm. Ruan He and the others finally understood and looked at the simple and kind villagers around them.

Their faces, big or small, light or heavy, are all stamped with slave seals and engravings. They should be no different from them. They were all exiled. However, judging from the light color of the tattoos on most people's faces, it seems that they came at the same time. It shouldn't be long now, and gradually developed into a local villager.

The villagers surrounded them and asked questions. When they found out that they were new prisoners, they also showed a look of understanding.

A woman held a child in her arms, looked at the forest behind them in confusion, and casually asked enthusiastically: "What are you going up to the mountain for? To cut down trees and build houses?"

"Yes, if you want to buy some necessary pots and pans, you can buy them in the village, but to be honest, it's cheaper if you go to the main city of the town."

Ruan He smiled, pointed to the big wild boar they had just thrown on the ground with a relaxed attitude, and explained lightly: "No, I just hunted for a try. I didn't expect to encounter this big wild boar, so I had to kill it." Kill it."

With a light tone, as if she was just passing by, she slaughtered the wild boar and instantly gained the admiration of the villagers.

"Girl! How did you get rid of this big wild boar? It has rough skin and thick flesh. How did you kill it with just three of you?"

"Just... I set up a trap, got some medicine, and killed it." Ruan He simply explained, and received another unclear response from the villagers.

Wang Xiaoer suppressed his smile and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

"By the way, I want to hire someone to help deal with this big wild boar and help me transport it. I wonder if I can find someone in the village to help?"

Ruan He's casual deception made the villagers stunned for a moment, but they did not forget the important matter of their trip and asked aloud.

"Okay!" One of the burly men with scars came out. His honest and simple smile looked particularly weird against the penetrating scars on his face. He introduced cheerfully: "I am Li Yidao at the entrance of the village is responsible for slaughtering pigs and cows for the villagers. Everyone comes to me, and I handle it very cleanly!"

"Yes! Even though Li Yidao looks fierce, he is enthusiastic and not a bad person!" The villagers echoed.

"Then please ask Brother Li to help deal with the wild boar." Ruan He said with a smile, without any ambiguity.

"Okay, okay, come with me, my shop is at the entrance of the village!"

Shazhu Li Yidao hurriedly greeted a few people and led the way with great enthusiasm. He took two steps forward, then remembered something, turned around, and helped them carry the big wild boar on his shoulders.

Li Yidao smiled cheerfully at a few people and said honestly: "Oh, it's quite heavy!"

He was really good at handling big wild boars. Ruan He and the others just stood aside and chatted for a few words. The call of "wash them clean" came from inside.

"Brother Li, you can carve out this big wild boar by the way so that we can take the wild boar back to eat. Thank you for your hard work."

Ruan He curled his lips and smiled, quietly taking out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and placing it on the inside of the chopping board.

"Okay, okay! I will definitely make it clean for you. You can just throw it into the pot and eat it! But you probably have to wait for half an hour." Li Yidao accepted the money and said more and more enthusiastically He responded and quickly turned around and entered the shop again.

They couldn't wait for half an hour. Ruan He planned to buy something in the village.

She turned her head and saw that next door to the pork stall was a grocery store. The shopkeeper was a woman. She seemed to be curious about their wild boar meat and looked over here from time to time.

Ruan He simply didn't bother to walk far and walked straight to the grocery store and waved to the shop owner.

The shopkeeper was one of the few villagers who didn't have the mark of slavery on his face. He was probably a local villager from Yuecheng, named Tong Guixiang. He looked a little surprised when he saw them walking over.

This woman seemed completely different from the other villagers. She always showed a bit of arrogance on her face. She probably looked down on the prisoners who had been printed with the slave mark.

The grocery store sells common household items, such as pots and pans, but there are no prices on them.

Ruan He thought that he didn't lack that little money, so he simply picked through it and selected pots and pans that were enough for their whole family. He also took a few more bowls, thinking that he would give them to them later. The officials probably had some use for the wild boar.

Finally, Ruan He got up and saw that the shop owner, Tong Guixiang, was just sitting there lazily looking at her. He showed no enthusiasm for entertaining customers. He frowned slightly, raised his voice, and shouted: "What's wrong? You're not doing business today?"

As soon as Ruan He asked this nonchalant question, the shopkeeper stood up, slowly came over, and reluctantly helped her wrap up all the pots and pans.

"How much money?" Ruan He always felt that this grocery store seemed out of place in such a large village. He lowered his eyes and asked casually.

The shop owner Tong Guixiang smoothly quoted an expensive price. Ruan He didn't know much about the prices of these household items, but he also knew that these things didn't cost that much.

"So expensive?" Ruan He originally planned to buy it directly, but he asked casually while rummaging through the bag to find some money.

She didn't know which part of the shopkeeper's heart this sentence touched. She suddenly raised her eyes, a fierce expression suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face, and she scolded unhappily: "Can't buy it?" Don’t buy it now!”

Ruan He didn't care about the man's scolding. He sneered with unknown meaning, slapped the money he had taken out on the table, and said casually: "Buy it, why did I say not to buy it?"

She took the bag with pots and pans and planned to go out. She also thought this grocery store was very weird and didn't want to stay here any longer.

But just a few steps after Ruan He walked out, the shop owner Tong Guixiang behind him seemed to have thought of something again and chased her out. At this moment, her attitude softened slightly.

"Hey! How do you sell that... wild boar meat! I want to buy a pound to have a taste."

She has always been craving for wild boar meat. I heard that eating it can promote blood circulation and strengthen the body, which is a great tonic!
Ruan He chuckled lightly, and didn't know what he was thinking of. He slowly stopped and looked back at her, with a mocking smile on his lips.
