In the east of Penglai Island and Donglai County, there is a fishing village near the sea. When the setting sun goes down to the west, cooking smoke rises from many villagers and families. Although it is a fishing village near the sea, it can be easily seen from the sky that it is a feudal village combining fishing and farming.

A few miles to the east of the village is the sea. There are more than ten fishing boats docked at a small wharf by the sea.

In the West and southeast of the village, there are lush agricultural crops growing.

The whole fishing village is small, and it seems that there are only one or two hundred families, but there are some collective architectural communities in the middle of the village, such as rural colleges and kindergartens.

When the cooking smoke rose, the village Central College also ran a large number of children, both men and women, who had fun after school, which made the whole village jump.

Such a sight in some poor areas of Shang and Tang Dynasties will probably make the imperial people drool with envy. You know, reading and literacy are often only the rights enjoyed by the powerful gentry.

Not to mention, in the farmland outside the village, the growth of crops is extremely gratifying. Any experienced old farmer can know that these representatives will be a great harvest year. Here, there are salted fish or other meat hanging at the door of every household.

The policies of food and clothing, free education, free medical care, supporting the old and the weak and so on have been implemented to the Kingdom policy of Qi and all over the country.

This village is a very ordinary village in the state of Qi.

At the intersection of the south of the village, when more than a dozen figures are close to the village along the farmland path, the more they go, the more frightened and uncertain these people are.

"Luohai, this is really the hell? Hell? Isn't this roadside planted wheat? Hiss... Good harvest, this land is too fat. Look at these ears of wheat. If our hometown can have such fertile soil, I wouldn't sell myself as a slave to raise my younger brothers and sisters."

"Brother five, it smells delicious. Do you smell it? I'm greedy for the fragrance in front of me."

"It really hurts. When I die, do I pinch myself? After walking for such a long time, I'm tired and hungry. How can I feel that I'm no different from when I'm alive."

…………

These more than a dozen figures are one of the teams assigned by a chief mate, Mr. Liu, to explore the environment in all directions.

Led by Luo Han, Zhang Xiaoliu and more than a dozen other young sailors and servants.

Rohan was the oldest and became the leader of the team.

The farther you go, the greater your consternation.

They can swear that if they hadn't suffered all kinds of torture before they died, the pain and despair were deeply remembered by everyone. Now, I'm afraid no one would believe that this would be a hell.

Regardless of the surrounding environment, the wheat fields on the roadside, and the cool sea breeze blowing from miles away... Walking will be tired, sweating, hungry, pinching yourself will hurt. Is this the experience of the dead?

It's just that everyone can clearly tell themselves and even each other's death process and tragedy with every word you say.

That's unreasonable.

When the crowd became more and more noisy, Luo Hai shouted, "shut up!"

Seeing that more than ten people heard the sound, Luo Hai said again, "everyone smelled the fragrance and even saw the cooking smoke, which means that they are approaching... Be careful. If you have contact later, be polite and listen to me."

Close to what?

He would like to say that he is close to the village and the people, but is this the people, or the environment transformed by some great gods and ghosts after death? Who knows? Who can be sure?

He didn't know. Zhang Xiaoliu and more than a dozen other teenagers and young people didn't know or determine anything. They soon restrained their emotions and moved on.

A moment later, when they came to the intersection of the village and saw several children playing at the entrance of the village, and several men in simple clothes gathered at a table to drink and eat, Luo Hai and others were on guard.

On the contrary, some men who ate and drank looked at Luo Hai and others, and a middle-aged man put down his wine bowl and laughed, "gentlemen, where did this come from? I don't know what happened to Daying village?"

The middle-aged laughter is heroic and enthusiastic.

Luo Hai, Zhang Xiaoliu and others still look at each other, Daying village? A very common name, but the underworld is also like this. Do you live in villages? As like as two peas, we must cultivate our own fields and cultivate the same labor and interest.

After a few breaths of silence, Luo Hai didn't know how to answer, so the middle-aged laughed again. "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar. If you don't mind, you can come and have a few drinks."

Without waiting for a reply, the middle-aged man smiled and scolded at a child playing not far away, "seal son, go home and tell your mother that there are guests coming from afar and prepare more wine and vegetables."

Not only the middle-aged man, but also the three men who had been sitting at the table in other directions got up one after another and shouted at several children.

Warm and forthright. Please greet strangers in detail and eat and drink. This is actually very common in Qi country.

The main reason is that Qi is too rich and powerful. At least in the sea, the national strength can be called the overlord. Not only can official wealth create heavy troops to protect the country and implement various good policies, but also the people are rich.

Even ordinary fishing villages can keep warm in farmland and fish catches. Sometimes there is excess food production, and every family has enough to eat. This is also normal. Only in this way can the people of Ren Weizhou and the Three Kingdoms risk their lives every year, just like going to fairyland.

When you meet strangers, don't worry about so much. Eat and drink... When you drink almost, you will be familiar with it.

It's a tradition to talk about friendship at the wine table.

As for whether it will be a foreign enemy? Don't be funny. The powerful state of Qi is already the grace of the other party to burn high incense without attacking other countries. Because the country is rich and the people are strong, there are basically no bandits and bandits in China.

Of course, don't forget that the state of Qi is only a few decades old. In those years when it was just established, because it was unwilling to lose the huge profits of Penglai Island, the gentry of Shang and Tang Dynasties were powerful and would send troops to invade it. In order to ensure its own safety, as long as Qi was an adult man, it was also a reserve, and had been exposed to military training for a certain time when he was an adult, People also have all kinds of cold weapons... If you are kind enough to entertain a strange friend with wine and vegetables, you suddenly find that the other party is a bad thief?

A Qi man who has received military training in a village and has knives, guns, sticks, bows and arrows and even crossbows at home will also let you understand that you can beat you on your knees and beg for mercy without the presence of the government.

After a short time, Luo Hai, Zhang Xiaoliu and their entourage ate and drank at several big tables at the entrance of the village under the warm hospitality of the villagers of Daying village.

Wine is a good wine, which is better than what they drink in the wharf tavern when they travel to and from various countries as sailors. The dishes are also good dishes and taste good.

However, while eating and drinking, they still hesitated and didn't know how to explain their identity. The villagers at the door of the wine table patted the table and took a sip of wine. It's a pity that our Qi sent troops to the country this time is definitely a feat to destroy the country in one fell swoop. It's a pity that they didn't participate in the national war that can be recorded in history.

This made Luo Hai almost jump up.

Me, Daqi? This is the state of Qi?
