Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Chapter 446 One step closer

Riding a camel back to the village.

Today's bath was mostly wasted. Although the sweat on his body had dried, Xu Wenyan still felt a little uncomfortable.

"You two take the camels back. Brother Chen and I will go to the village chief's house."

Aman took Xu Wenyan there on the first day, and Xu Wenyan can still remember it.

Arriving at the yurt again, Xu Wenyan shouted outside: "Village Chief Bayibu, are you there?"

Soon a man came out of the house. He looked young, probably around 25 years old.

"My father is inside. You must be the latest guests."

"Oh, good."

Following the man in, the old village chief was chatting with three people.

"Brother Chen!" Fu Jian stood up and greeted the two of them.

Xu Wenyan was not surprised by his appearance. After all, Uncle Mulati had told him that guests going to Lan County would rest in the village.

I heard before that there are only two villages in Lan County.

This one in two probability is still very high.

"Brother Fu, Miss Fu." Xu Wenyan responded. There was another girl whom Xu Wenyan really didn't know.

"This is the person who came with us, Gu Quanyue, Miss Gu." Fu Jian introduced to Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan nodded to the cold-looking woman, which counted as a greeting.

"You tell me your story first." Fu Jian sat down with the two of them.

Xu Wenyan looked at the village chief and said, "Village Chief Bayibu, we plan to settle down below the village. We came here today to say hello to you."

"Are you sure you want to settle down here with us?" Bayibu was very shocked. He was the most knowledgeable person in the village.

He was well aware of the gap between the village and the Central Plains.

I really can't understand why these young men want to live in the village.

What's more, there are very few villagers in the village who can speak Chinese, so it is not very convenient for them to stay.

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Well, the scenery in the village is beautiful, so we want to stay here."

Baibu nodded slowly, then looked at Xu Wenyan and smiled kindly: "If you are willing to stay in the village, I welcome you very much.

There are still a few old houses in the village. If you don’t mind, you can move in directly.”

"I appreciate your kindness. We plan to build our own house."

Baibu nodded: "Okay, I'll find a chance to report to the county."

After saying that, Baibu slowly stood up and rummaged through the cabinet for something. Soon he took out a booklet.

The booklet is a little yellowed, but in very good condition.

"Ink... ink. Mubarak, where is my ink?"

The man who led Xu Wenyan stood up and took out a round box from another cabinet: "Here, Dad."

"it is good."

Baiyibu handed the booklet to Xu Wenyan, and then handed over the round box and a bird feather.

Judging from its appearance, it should be an old eagle's feather.

"Excuse me, sir. We can't afford a brush in our village. This eagle feather can also be used for writing, but I have to dip it in ink again after writing each word."

Baibu said embarrassedly.

Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "Okay, Village Chief, do you need me to write our names?"

"Yeah."

After finishing writing, Xu Wenyan handed the booklet to him with both hands. After Bayibu opened it, he looked at the words written by Xu Wenyan.

"As expected of you from the Central Plains, I only know a few characters. You have so many, but I only know 'Xiao', 'San' and 'Lin'."

This Bayibu gave Xu Wenyan the impression that he was very humble and kind to others.

Much better than that old man from Xujia Village.

"You are too modest, village chief. By the way, I want to buy some thatch in the village, about two or three carts. I wonder where I can get it from."

"Muba, go ask Guli's family if they have enough hay."

Mubarak nodded respectfully and walked out the door.

"Guli has the most sheep in our village, and their family has more," Baibu explained.

"Well, thank you, village chief."

After everything was said and done, Xu Wenyan was about to leave.

As for Fu Jian and the others, they must be still concerned about the nugget-head gold.

Xu Wenyan didn't want to hear more, so as not to get into trouble.

After saying goodbye to a few people, he hurried home.

Because there was not much rice left, Xiaoman didn’t know what to eat today, so she could only boil water and wait for Xu Wenyan to come back.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Xiaoman looked at A'man and Aina who were sitting opposite her. When they came back, there was no sign of burning on the stove.

It's already very late, but the two children have no intention of making a fire to cook.

"Brother...I've already eaten lunch, like this."

"Kid, where are your parents?" Luo Sanyuan asked, lying on the table.

Xiaoman hurriedly covered the mouth of this tactless guy and pulled him towards the yard.

"Hey, Xiaoman, what's wrong?"

"Think before you speak next time."

Xiaoman knew that Luo Sanyuan was just speaking bluntly, but being too blunt would inevitably attract the attention of those who had ulterior motives.

Xu Wenyan speaks slickly and cleverly, while Chen Sanlin doesn't know how to speak and simply doesn't speak.

How come this guy can say anything?

"Oh." Luo Sanyuan nodded, then asked in shock: "Ah? Are their parents gone?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Xiaoman pulled Luo Sanyuan and walked a few steps outside.

"Xiaoman, look! The stars are so bright today." Luo Sanyuan laughed.

The two sat down on the stone pillar: "The stars are beautiful, and beautiful things are out of reach."

Luo Sanyuan leaned his head on Xiaoman's shoulder: "Xiaoman, are you homesick? It's all my fault. I won't talk nonsense again."

"No, I just wonder why all beautiful things are so far away from us."

After hearing this, Luo Sanyuan stood up and stepped onto the stone pier: "Come on, Xiaoman, you stand up too."

"Huh? What to do?"

"Hey, come up."

After Xiaoman came up, Luo Sanyuan squatted down and patted his shoulder: "Come on, sit up, I'll carry you."

Looking at the squatting man, Xiaoman felt a warm feeling flowing through her heart.

"Sit still, your wife, I'm going to get up."

"Ah."

Luo Sanyuan stood very steadily, holding Xiaoman's legs tightly with both hands: "Will this bring us closer to the stars?

As long as I am here, Xiaoman, you will be one step closer to beautiful things. Haha."

Looking at the starry sky, Xiaoman smiled and said, "We are really one step closer."
