Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 56

Buying Land (1)
Today, many villagers from neighboring villages also ride Sun Dagou’s bullock cart to the town.

Looking at the villagers sitting on the bullock cart, Tang Sanniu asked, “Brother Sun, is there any room in your bullock cart?”

Sun Dagou saw Duan Yixin and said, “There is only one seat left. But village chief, you can sit next to me in the driver’s seat.”

Since they needed to rush to the local magistrate’s office to buy land, Tang Sanniu agreed and said, “All right.”

Seeing that Tang Sanniu had already sat beside Sun Dagou and a villager, Duan Yixin also climbed into the bullock cart. Sitting on the last available seat, she observed the villagers around her.

Unlike the villagers in Yunshan Village, these villagers from the neighboring villages looked haggard, emaciated, and obviously depressed. Looking at their lifeless and sick faces, Duan Yixin couldn’t help but compare them with the villagers of Yunshan Village, who looked thin but with eyes full of hope.

‘It seems that the losses caused by the bandits in the neighboring villages are greater than the losses caused by the bandits in Yunshan Village. Life in ancient times was indeed no easier than life in my original world.’

Thinking about it this way, Duan Yixin was glad that she had not transmigrated into the body of a villager from another village. Even though the original Duan Yixin’s life was difficult, she still has a house and friends like Chi Xinru and Chi Xiyou. With their help, Duan Yixin got through the most difficult time when she first crossed over without much problem.

Looking away from the villagers, Duan Yixin closed her eyes and moved her mind to the warehouse. Since the journey took nearly two hours, she spent all her time unpacking the boxes and sorting items in the warehouse. Working tirelessly whenever she had free time, Duan Yixin has only opened around three percent of the total boxes in the warehouse so far.

Looking at the remaining boxes stacked in the huge empty area outside the warehouse gave her a headache, but she forced herself to keep going. More than an hour later, she was surprised to open a large box and found guns, ammunition, and bombs inside.

Looking at the guns, ammunition, and bombs, Duan Yixin remembered that military supplies were not included on the list of items in the Liquid Chip warehouse. Since her team did not put these boxes into the warehouse, Captain Yu was the only one who could do it.

Thinking of him, Duan Yixin’s expression softened, and her eyes were filled with sadness. Even though he was separated from her, he still left her with something to protect herself from danger. It’s a pity that his good intentions were wasted since Duan Yixin didn’t know how to use weapons at all.

While Duan Yixin was still busy in the warehouse, the bullock cart had already entered Chunshan Town. Sun Dagou stopped the bullock cart and said, “We are here. I will wait here until ten o’clock in the morning before going back.”

A passenger heard this and asked, “Uncle Sun, don’t you usually wait until two o’clock in the afternoon before going back? Why is it so early today?”

Sun Dagou smiled and said, “My daughter-in-law has symptoms of pregnancy. We are going to take her to the doctor to get checked out, so I need to go back and bring my family to town.”

Since he said so, most of the villagers could only give their blessing and said that they would not go back by bullock cart today.

After everyone got off the bullock cart, Tang Sanniu looked at Duan Yixin and said, “Let’s go to the local magistrate’s office now.”

Duan Yixin nodded and followed him. The two of them walked in silence until they reached the local magistrate’s office.

Seeing that it was still early and the guard just opened the gate, Tang Sanniu said, “Fortunately, there are not many people at this time.”

Listening to his words, Duan Yixin discovered that Tang Sanniu was worried that her purchase of land would attract people with ill intentions. She looked at Tang Sanniu’s back thoughtfully but said nothing.

When they arrived at the gate, a guard recognized Duan Yixin and said, “It’s you. Are you here to see Brother Lin again?”

Tang Sanniu was surprised to hear what the guard said and asked, “Xin Niang, do you know someone who is working here?”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “I came yesterday to register my name to receive the new seeds from the government. I believe this young master still remembers me because of that matter.”

The guard was very happy that Duan Yixin called him young master politely and said, “Young Lady, what is the purpose of your visit today?”

Before Duan Yixin could answer him, Tang Sanniu had already answered, “We want to meet the local magistrate.”

When the guard heard this, he looked at Tang Sanniu and asked, “Who are you, Uncle?”

Tang Sanniu cupped his fists and said, “My name is Tang Sanniu, the village chief of Yunshan Village.”

Since he was the village chief, the guard didn’t ask any questions and said, “I see. Then please follow me.”

Led by the young guard, they soon arrived at the local magistrate’s private office. When the guard guarding the door saw them coming, he stopped them and asked, “Why are you three here? No one is allowed to enter without permission.”

The young guard said, “Brother, this uncle is the village chief of Yunshan Village. He said he wants to meet with Cao Da Ren.”

The older guard looked at Tang Sanniu and Duan Yixin for a moment and said, “You guys wait here. I will go in and notify Cao Da Ren first.”

After the older guard entered the office, the young guard looked at Tang Sanniu and Duan Yixin and said, “The two of you should wait here. I need to return to my post now.”
