Chapter 164 Do You Want It?
You can't blame these soldiers for being so greedy. After all, the climate conditions here are extremely strange, and the temperature difference between day and night is so huge that it's astonishing!
During the day, even wearing a thin jacket would make one feel hot and unbearable; however, after nightfall, even if one wrapped oneself tightly and put on a thick cotton-padded jacket, one would still shiver with cold.
Not only that, the wind and sand here are extremely fierce and persistent, often accompanied by sudden sandstorms, leaving this land almost barren.
In such a harsh environment, it is difficult to eat a green leaf for ten days, half a month, or even longer. You can imagine how it feels to go to the toilet. How can you not be envious when you suddenly see such fresh and juicy Chinese cabbage?
"Is this...is this really cabbage?" The leading soldier even began to stutter.
The people around him looked at him with disdain, muttering to themselves, "What you are saying is just nonsense!"
He slapped his head hard, and seemed to wake up. With a wave of his hand, the other soldiers received the order, put away their spears in unison, and quickly stood in a row. Everyone's face was full of smiles, as friendly as they could be, as if Song Jixiang and his group were their long-lost relatives.
The soldier leader took two steps forward, rubbing his hands, and said with a flattering smile: "You are all citizens of the Dayu Dynasty. It is naturally no problem for you to enter the city. However, hehe...each of you needs to hand over a cabbage!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. What kind of strange request was this? They all whispered to each other and discussed it.
Someone asked in confusion: "Why do we have to collect cabbage? We can hand in other items!"
However, the soldier leader shook his head and insisted: "No, no, our military regulations are strict. We only want cabbage, nothing else!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea where to get so many cabbages. Some people began to complain: "What kind of rule is this? How can we carry so many cabbages with us?"
Others tried to negotiate with the soldier leaders, hoping to find other solutions, but to no avail.
At this point, people were completely speechless. They really couldn't understand why these soldiers were so obsessed with a cabbage. This wild city was full of weirdness.
The village chief signaled for everyone to be quiet and asked Song Jixiang and Xiao Ruyi for their opinions.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
The village chief's face drooped instantly, and his eyes, which were originally full of expectation, became dull. The soldiers' faces were not much better either, and each of them looked a little dejected.
"We don't have that much cabbage, but we still have carrots, leeks, potatoes, cucumbers, and white radishes... Do you want any of these?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and shouted in unison: "Yes, yes, yes..." They looked as if they were afraid that they would go back on their word.
"Come in, come in!" The leader of the soldiers put on a look as if he were his own father and welcomed them in.
After entering the city, he became hesitant again. Where should he place these capable people?
No matter what, just because they can produce enough green plants, it is worth it for people all over the city to worship them!!!
Thinking of this, the soldier leader's steps became lighter, and he led the crowd towards the most prominent place in the city...
