From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 300 Return

"Lu Changsheng?"

Hearing this name, Jiang Yao's eyes flickered and he looked at the thin boy a few more times.

The surnames of Ye, Chen, Gu and Lu are most likely to give birth to monstrous geniuses. The name Lu Changsheng sounds extraordinary. It is really difficult for an ordinary boy from a mountain village who has done nothing to live up to this name.

"Could this kid really be a time traveler who has returned from another world by borrowing another's body?" This thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Yao's mind.

He turned his head and looked Lu Changsheng up and down several times with a meaningful look.

"Sir, do you want to enter our Xujia Town?"

"Our town is not big, and the people here are quite xenophobic. Except for the occasional caravans that come into the town, it is difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold in Xujia Town without someone to take care of them."

"Although you are powerful and a famous warrior, you certainly don't want to become the target of public criticism and have any violent conflicts with those people in the town."

"My parents are both deceased and I live alone. Although my home is a little shabby, it should be okay for you to stay here temporarily."

"I can tell others that you are my distant relative. With my cooperation with my second uncle, it will be much easier for you to gain a foothold in Xujia Town."

"What do you think of my proposal, sir?"

Being stared at by Jiang Yao like this, Lu Changsheng seemed to feel a little uncomfortable.

I don’t know if it’s because children from poor families have to grow up early, or if he is more mature mentally than ordinary village boys.

What he said was well-reasoned and appropriately demonstrated the usefulness of both him and his second uncle Lu Xiong.

Unless Jiang Yao didn't want to settle down in Xujia Town, otherwise, after he said this, Jiang Yao had no reason to take action against the uncle and nephew.

"Let's go. Lead the way and take a look at your Xujia Town first." Jiang Yao frowned and thought for a while. He nodded and responded.

With his strength, he can still ensure that he has enough food and drink even if he lives alone in the mountains. However, he is still young and will definitely feel bored if he stays in the mountains for too long. It is impossible for him to stay in the mountains like a savage forever.

Before he met Lu Xiong and Lu Changsheng, uncle and nephew, and before he knew about the existence of Xujia Town, he could accept staying by the small pond. But now that he knew there was such a town nearby, he naturally wanted to go and take a look.

Under such circumstances, having the two natives Lu Xiong and Lu Changsheng to lead the way and cooperate with him was beneficial to him no matter how you looked at it.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." With obvious joy on his face, Lu Xiong bowed repeatedly.

In his mindset, warriors have always been superior and are not on the same level as ordinary people like them.

His action of shooting an arrow at Jiang Yao just now was definitely the biggest offense to a great warrior.

Even if he was slapped to death by Jiang Yao, no one would think that this was excessive. They would only say that Lu Xiong was ignorant of the consequences and deserved it.

His heart was filled with joy of surviving a disaster. After paying his respects to Jiang Yao, he called out to his nephew Lu Changsheng, then walked a few steps to the wild boar that had fallen dead to the ground.

A wild boar the size of a calf must weigh more than a thousand kilograms. Such a large prey is difficult to carry, let alone drag. Even if the uncle and nephew work together, it would be very strenuous to drag it.

Hunters like Lu Xiong generally would not dare to hunt wild boars unless they formed a hunting team with several people. This time when he brought Lu Changsheng into the mountains, it was purely an accident that he was able to hunt this wild boar.

"How much can this wild boar be sold for if it is dragged back to your town?"

After watching Lu Xiong and Lu Changsheng pick up hunting knives, cut down a wrist-thick wooden stick from a big tree on the side, tie the wild boar to the stick with tree bark and lift it up, Jiang Yao spoke again and asked.

"The butcher shop, rice shop, and pharmacy in the town are all owned by the Xu family."

"For prey like wild boar, the price they offer is usually around four or five copper coins per pound."

"Whether we are hunters or herbalists, as long as we go into the mountains, the Xu family will take half of any harvest we get, and the rest is ours."

"After we bring this wild boar back to town and sell it, there should be two or three jade coins that fall into the hands of Changsheng and me."

Scratching the back of his head, Lu Xiong laughed dryly and explained.

Judging from his expression, he was obviously very satisfied with this harvest.

However, Jiang Yao's face showed some obvious confusion at the moment. After all, he knew nothing about the currency in this world, and he didn't know what the copper and jade coins represented.

"Sir, here, one jade coin is equivalent to one thousand copper coins."

"In the rice shop in town, bran rice can be bought for one copper coin per pound, and white rice is a little more expensive, at only two copper coins per pound." "Just this wild boar can make my second uncle's family and I worry about food and drink for a month or two."

"Of course, after deducting the Xu family's commission, we will definitely keep some of the remaining wild boar meat for ourselves and will not sell it all."

"After all, if we sell it to Xu's butcher shop, the price is only four or five copper coins per pound. If we want to buy wild boar meat from them, it will cost around eight copper coins per pound."

……

As if seeing the confusion in Jiang Yao's heart, Lu Changsheng sighed with a complicated expression and explained.

"So that's how it is." After hearing his explanation, Jiang Yao immediately understood.

In the real world, all kinds of exploitation and oppression are also everywhere, not to mention the ancient-like living environment in the unknown world.

Judging from the name of Xujia Town alone, the so-called Xu family must be the uncrowned king, a giant-like existence in the eyes of ordinary people.

Lu Xiong and Lu Changsheng, uncle and nephew, both have the surname Lu, not Xu. It would be strange if they were not exploited in Xujia Town.

"Tell me, what's the matter with the Xu family?" Although Jiang Yao already had a general idea about the existence of the Xu family, he still asked casually.

"The Xu family is the only martial arts family in the entire Xujia Town."

"All the businesses in the town, including the land, belong to them. People like us with other surnames can only live a normal life in the town under their protection."

"The most that ordinary people in this town can learn is some farming techniques. The real martial arts techniques that can make people transcend the mundane world are extremely precious and cannot be accessed by ordinary people. Only the Xu family has them."

"Sir, if a warrior like you really wants to enter Xujia Town, it's best not to display force casually, otherwise the Xu family will definitely come to your door."

……

The person who said these words at this moment was not Lu Changsheng, but his second uncle Lu Xiong.

After all, although Lu Changsheng is mentally mature, he is still just a teenager. Compared with him, Lu Xiong, who has lived in Xujia Town for so many years, naturally knows more about the Xu family.

"What? The Xu family is so overbearing that warriors who are not from their family are not allowed to live in this Xujia Town?" Jiang Yao smiled without comment and curled his lips with a bit of disdain.

"Sir, as an ordinary person, I don't know much about warriors."

"I only know that in the past, foreign warriors who came to Xujia Town would either accept the Xu family's recruitment and become their family's servants, or leave in a hurry if they could not stay."

"Ordinary people don't know much about the specific details. I only know that there are no warriors other than the Xu family in Xujia Town today."

With a bitter look on his face, Lu Xiong spoke again and explained.

As a hunter, he knew the importance of martial arts. Unfortunately, in Xujia Town, an ordinary person like him who did not have a good family wanted to learn martial arts. Unless he had extraordinary talent, attracted the attention of the Xu family, and was willing to become a son-in-law and marry into their family, he would have a slight chance.

Lu Xiong's martial arts talent obviously has not reached this level, but as he said this, he glanced at his nephew Lu Changsheng who was carrying a wild boar with him. There was a clear flash of heat in his eyes.

In his opinion, his nephew's archery skills were already miraculous. With such a talent, it seemed not impossible for him to become a son-in-law of the Xu family.

"The Xu family girls who are willing to marry us, people from other families, may be ugly, but once the lights are turned off and their eyes are closed, they all look the same."

"Letting Changsheng marry into the Xu family might be a good way out."

"If he is talented enough and can really become a warrior, then as his uncle, I can also benefit from it and enjoy a few days of peace and quiet."

"Before, I didn't know he had such a talent, that's fine, but now that I know he is a god-like archer, maybe after returning to town, I can find a familiar member of the Xu family to help him arrange things."

His eyes flashed, and this thought appeared in Lu Xiong's mind inadvertently.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was extremely feasible.

Thinking of the excitement, his steps seemed to become much lighter.

"Either you are one of us, or you are the enemy."

"Does the Xu family feel that foreign warriors entering Xujia Town will threaten their status?"

After listening to Lu Xiong's explanation, Jiang Yao frowned and thought.
