At the same time, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes sat in a simple thatched hut on the side of the road, the stove in the house was burning with roaring wood, and the howling cold wind outside the house blew in through the cracks in the grass hut, making the middle-aged man who couldn't stand the cold here shiver, tightened the fur fur on his body, and picked up the iron kettle on the small tandoor in front of him with his fingers trembling, and poured himself a bowl of amber wine.

"Why do the old people stay here and don't go home, is it homeless?"

The middle-aged man who spoke was Lu Ming, he didn't go to the business district, but came to a crystal shed by the ghost, and saw a thatched house next to it, so he knocked on the door and walked in.

When the old man in the grass hut saw Lu Ming walking here alone, he thought he was lost, so he invited Lu Ming to drink wine to warm up his body before leaving.

The old man is about fifty years old, one eye is blind, the other eye is bright, the hair is half a hundred, the back is a little rickety, and the body is quite flexible, but what makes Lu Ming a little curious is that this old man should not be alone, and the furnishings in the grass house are also quite simple, which is incompatible with the crystal shed next to him.

Lu Ming can be said to be attracted by the crystal shed, this kind of strange building has been seen once in the Nagasaki lease area, but he glanced at it from a distance, and was told that it used to be planted with flowers that are undefeated in all seasons, but now it is empty, and only a few servants are usually in it to take care of it, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The Crystal Flower House is no secret in Nagasaki Town, and even though it is now uninhabited, there are still many noble ladies who send people to buy some flowers to put in their homes to decorate.

The old man took Lu Ming into a crystal shed, and Lu Ming found out that the crystal shed could not only grow flowers, but was really useful for planting vegetables and seedlings, and was immediately stunned by everything in front of him.

At first, Lu Ming thought that the crystal piece could only replace the window paper in the house, and his preconceived ideas were really deadly!

When Lu Ming met this old man, he was obviously not as treacherous as the shopkeeper Gu Liang met in the bookstore, he was sincere and answered all questions, and he knew everything about Lu Ming's image of a handsome gentleman.

"Hehe, the old man has two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter has been married to a wife in the early years, the younger daughter is to be married, and there is a son who is not a son in the family, this year is fifteen, I originally wanted to do the marriage, but the owner of the island issued the "Marriage Regulations", the marriage age can not be less than sixteen years old, and the man cannot be less than eighteen years old, so I have to wait for two or three years, and I can save a little more money for the child, and the old man has no regrets in this life!"

"Don't you take advantage of the cold to help people watch the greenhouse, and go back when it gets dark, you can earn two yuan a month, and you can add a few more decorations to the house, right?"

"Two dollars a month!" Gu Liang's throat and eyes "chuckled", he was so close not to be choked to death by his own saliva, two yuan a month!

Lu Ming also discovered the currency exchange ratio of the Wufeng Islands, one yuan is equivalent to 600 Wen, and a month is always 200 Wen, this is sitting and collecting money!

The income here is too high!

You must know that a janitor in Datang will break his head after five or six times a year, and a craftsman with craftsmanship will only earn more than a dozen times a year, and he will work hard for a year, and he will not have a high income as an old man who looks at the greenhouse here, which is really unreasonable.

It's really more popular than people.

The richness of the Goho Islands can be seen!

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Lu Ming borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and toasted the old man with a glass of wine.

"Could Ling Lang just bear to let the old man be here...... Cold? Lu Ming originally wanted to say that he was hungry, but he didn't think about it, the rice wine, roast chicken and seasonal side dishes in front of him didn't look like starvation, but the environment here was a little poor, even if the stove was lit in the grass house, he still felt cold.

The old man sighed and said: "Lang Jun didn't know, the old man could have been heating in the greenhouse, but unfortunately this greenhouse was too much, and the old man couldn't adapt to the changes of cold and hot, and there was no comfortable environment of the greenhouse at home, so he was worried that he would enjoy himself here, and he couldn't adapt to it after returning home, so he let people build this thatched hut here." ”

"I see!"

Do you think that some people are blessed or not, and like to suffer?

It turned out that I was worried that I would stay in the environment of the greenhouse here for a long time, and I would not be able to adapt to it after I went back, and the cost of this greenhouse was not low, and it was difficult for ordinary people to build.

"Old man, are all the greenhouses here owned by the island owner?"

Lu Ming found that the greenhouse here is very large, covering an area of more than ten acres, if calculated according to the price of the crystal pieces he bought, a greenhouse covering an area of half an acre costs more than 100 yuan, and 20 greenhouses will not cost two or three thousand yuan, such a big hand, even the Lu family may not be able to give up.

The old man was obviously very satisfied with his current life, took a section of cucumber, dipped it in flour sauce, wrapped it in dough cakes, chewed it with a big mouthful, and said with a look of enjoyment: "How can the owner of the island look at these businesses, these are all built by a few hairy boys in the village with loans from the bank. When people are old, they are less courageous, not as bold as young people, if it weren't for the kid at home, the old man would also want to go out and break through! ”

Lu Ming smacked his tongue, as if he had auditory hallucinations, thousands of times, Qian Zhuang dared to lend money to young people, and he didn't know if those young people could pay off the money.

However, Lu Ming didn't want to dwell on this, his purpose was to understand the Wufeng Islands, and unconsciously diverted the topic: "This place is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, are the old people still used to it?" ”

"What's not used to", the old man smiled, opened his big mouth with his front teeth out, picked up a piece of dry cut meat from the plate and threw it into his mouth, and said with another sip ......of wine: "A few years ago, there was a great drought in Qizhou, the family sold the land, the house was mortgaged, and even the son's family affairs were retired, that year the old woman and the youngest son starved to death, and before she died, she said to me that she couldn't see the day when she hugged her grandson, let me take the children to flee to distant relatives, maybe there is a way to live", speaking of which, The old man wiped a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes with calloused hands and continued: "It was that year that I took my son and daughter to leave my hometown to go to distant relatives, but when I left my hometown, I knew that there was no place for the world and the earth, and the eldest daughter hugged my arm and said: Sell me, let my younger brothers and sisters live, at that moment I was completely desperate, scolding God for being unfair, scolding the sky for having no eyes, scolding those jackals in human skin, just when our family was about to despair, it was the owner of the island who sent someone to save our family and place us here, Let us see the hope of living again...... ”

Lu Ming was silent, in fact, he had vaguely guessed the identity of the people on the island: refugees! These people should all have refugees from Datang, who were sent here by the owners of the Wufeng Islands across the ocean, giving these people hope to live again!
