The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 347 Murder Case and Traveling!

"This is Shiling Village, Pengshui County, Qianzhou..."

Although the old man was a little confused, he still told the truth.

"Looking at your attire, you don't look like a native of Bianjing... but more like a person from a foreign land..."

He saw that Zhao Dongchuan had a handsome complexion, and the skin on his hands and face was white, more delicate than that of many girls... He looked like a spoiled young man.

I am also skeptical about some of Zhao Dongchuan's statements...

"The old man is indeed well-informed. I am indeed from a foreign country..."

Zhao Dongchuan came from another border area, so there is nothing wrong with saying that he is from a foreign country!

The old man nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Judging from his experience, this person probably has a lot of secrets, and asking too many questions could lead to trouble.

In this way, the two of them chatted for a long time in their half-familiar Bianjing Mandarin...

This old man was called Mr. Wu... As the only educated person in the village, many people started their education under him and he had a high prestige in the village.

Although Old Wu had not achieved any fame, he had traveled around and had been to Bian Jing, so he could speak some Mandarin. He was considered to be the most knowledgeable person in the village, so the woodcutter brought Zhao Dongchuan to his house.

Zhao Dongchuan also got a lot of information from Mr. Wu indirectly, such as, it is now the Song Dynasty, the emperor is a child... there is an Empress Dowager Gao behind him, etc...

As for historical knowledge, Zhao Dongchuan had studied archaeology at Peking University in "Ordinary World". Although separated by time and space, he knew some of the general historical context.

The emperor during this period was Song Zhezong Zhao Xu... He was a young emperor at this time, and the government was controlled by Empress Dowager Gao...

"I just don't know if this world will develop according to the history of the mother world..."

Zhao Dongchuan shook his head and stopped thinking about these things... Now all he had to do was to better integrate into this world...

Then Zhao Dongchuan discussed with the old man to help him find a place to live... He wanted to stay in this village temporarily...

For this purpose, Zhao Dongchuan took out some loose silver from the space... These were collected by him in case he encountered a similar situation... Unexpectedly, they really came in handy.

In fact, the most in his space was not silver but gold, but he didn't show off his wealth. He was a stranger who entered someone's village and revealed a huge amount of wealth. It would be strange if he didn't attract people's attention...

Fortunately, he had nothing... and the loose change he took out was not much...

Mr. Wu thought for a long time and finally refused, obviously not wanting to get involved in trouble.

"Hey... okay!"

"My friend, you should find your relatives and friends as soon as possible!"

Old Wu stroked his beard and said lightly.

Zhao Dongchuan felt somewhat helpless. It was indeed not easy for a stranger like him to settle down in the village.

In the end, Zhao Dongchuan had no choice but to use his ultimate skill - hypnosis.

"excuse me!"

Zhao Dongchuan's face turned serious.

……

After he operated for a while, "communication" became efficient.

The old man readily agreed and said he would never refuse...

Then the old man used his prestige in the village to help Zhao Dongchuan buy a house and some land...

Finally, he was taken to the local head of the village to register his household registration.

Of course, all of this was done privately...With the old man's dedicated help and his "cash power", things went very smoothly.

To outsiders, the old man stated that Zhao Dongchuan was his new disciple, and given his prestige, no one bothered to delve into these matters.

In this way, Zhao Dongchuan successfully settled down in a village.

As the days passed, after a month of living together, he had already learned the local language... and also learned a lot of dialects and accents under the old man's instruction.

I won’t say how knowledgeable and talented he is, but at least communication won’t be an obstacle in the future.

"Brother Zhao, would you like to come to my house for a drink tonight?"

A dark-faced man wearing a coarse shirt asked Zhao Dongchuan who was reading a book seriously.

"Okay, if Fifth Brother invites me, I must go..."

Zhao Dongchuan closed the book in his hand and looked at the visitor with a smile.

This person was none other than the woodcutter that Zhao Dongchuan met at the beginning.

He is the fifth child in the family, so everyone calls him "Fifth Brother"!

As an old acquaintance in the village, he has been visiting from time to time since Zhao Dongchuan settled in the village. He is also a rare friend of Zhao Dongchuan.

Moreover, after a month of getting along with each other, the villagers found that Zhao Dongchuan looked "harmless" and gradually let down their guard.

"Then you have to come..."

The fifth brother smiled heartily and was very happy.

……

As the days passed, Zhao Dongchuan finally read through all the books in Mr. Wu's home. He knew the traditional Chinese characters... and the characters from the Song Dynasty were similar... but the writing was slightly different.

He discovered that the history of this world was roughly the same as that of the mother world, with only some differences in details.

Since Mr. Wu’s collection of books is limited, he only understands a small part of the current situation and cannot jump to conclusions...

Just when he was thinking about whether to find an excuse to go out for "travel", a horrific massacre occurred in the village.

A family at the head of the village was killed and blood was all over the ground.

It was said that it was done by a strong man who was very skilled. He passed by the village and asked for food at a house at the entrance of the village. When he saw the unmarried daughter of the family was pretty, he had evil intentions...

He was discovered when he was about to do something illegal...and then this tragedy happened.

"Alas... Old Qingtou is so miserable..."

"Yeah, it's no good meeting anyone else, but these martial artists... Alas, the government doesn't care, and reporting to the police is useless..."

"These martial artists rely on their own martial arts prowess to treat us as human beings... They beat and scold us at every turn, and when we encounter evil people, we die without a burial place!"

"Ugh……"

The onlookers were talking about it and all of them sighed with disappointment.

Zhao Dongchuan quietly hid in the crowd and watched the village head who came late with an indifferent look on his face... and directed the villagers to collect the bodies.

"There is a martial arts world in this world? Does that mean there are martial arts?"

He could hear everyone's words clearly in the crowd, and his heart was burning with anger.

Which young man has not had a dream of becoming a martial artist? Who has not longed for those mysterious martial arts secrets?

"In that case, I can't just hide like this any longer... I have to take the initiative and attack!"

Zhao Dongchuan secretly made up his mind and prepared to set out to travel the world tomorrow...

He touched the hard Black Star pistol at his waist and felt a little more at ease.

It is said that a gun is fast within five steps... and a gun is accurate and fast beyond five steps... as long as he is not unlucky enough to meet a master of poison, he is still very safe.

Sneak attacks and long-range attacks are of little significance to him. His soul strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and his perception ability can give him early warning...

……

"Are you really determined to leave?"

Old Wu felt a little reluctant... Although Zhao Dongchuan used certain means on him, Old Wu himself didn't know that in his heart, he sincerely wanted to accept Zhao Dongchuan as his disciple.

When I heard that he was going on a long journey, I naturally felt reluctant to let him go.

"Mr. Wu, I have made up my mind and have made all the necessary preparations. You don't have to worry..."

Zhao Dongchuan put the package on his back and said with a smile.

"Since you have such ambitions, I naturally cannot stop you... I wish you a bright future..."

Mr. Wu nodded slightly.

Zhao Dongchuan nodded and walked towards the village entrance.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao..."

A call came from behind him.

As soon as Zhao Dongchuan heard it, he knew it was his fifth brother who had come.

"Fifth brother, you are here..."

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

The person who came was the fifth brother. He was breathing heavily and a little out of breath.

"I...I heard that you were leaving, so I hurried over to see you off..."

As the fifth brother spoke, he took out a small knife from his waist and handed it to Zhao Dongchuan.

"This is a small knife left by my grandfather... It is said that he used this knife to travel the world... I just put it away because I thought it was too hard to chop wood..."

"Now that you are going out to travel, Brother Zhao, take this to protect yourself..."

Zhao Dongchuan felt touched when he saw his sincere tone.

"Fifth brother... I can't take your things for nothing... This is my return gift to me... You have to accept it..."

As he spoke, Zhao Dongchuan took out a string of exquisite wooden beads from his sleeve pocket and handed it to his fifth brother.

"This……"

"If you don't take it... I won't take this knife..."

Seeing Zhao Dongchuan's insistence, the fifth brother had no choice but to nod and accept the beads.

"Bye-Bye!"

"..."

Zhao Dongchuan waved his hand, said goodbye to the people who were slowly gathering around him, and then walked forward without hesitation.
