Chapter 277 This is in a foreign language
Once they decided to leave, the Yun family acted swiftly and decisively.
The next day, Yun Chengyuan went to the county and bought six horse-drawn carriages, while the rest of the Yun family busied themselves packing their luggage.
Three days later, at dawn, the Yun family, along with their servants and guards, totaling more than fifty people, quietly left the village and headed towards the desolate northwest.
The Yun family was not in a hurry to travel, and the carriage maintained a leisurely pace.
Inside the carriage, Xu Ji was engrossed in reading a world geography book.
"I can't wait to get to the vast wilderness. This terrain is simply a perfect place to build a home."
Yun Chengying frowned and continued, "This desolate wilderness is barren, not a blade of grass can grow here, not even the most drought-resistant poplar trees can survive. This place is an abandoned place!"
Xu Ji snorted: "That's because they have no taste!"
He smiled and said, "This place is a great place. It's so big and not controlled by any country. You can live freely there after establishing your home."
Yun Chengying frowned and said, "But crops can't grow here. Are we going to starve if we go there?"
Yun Qingqing smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Eighth Brother, the food in my space is enough for our whole family to eat for a lifetime."
She added, "Besides, I have a way to grow crops there."
Yun Chengying's eyes lit up: "Really? Abao, how did you manage to grow crops there?"
Yun Qingqing waved her hand mysteriously: "You'll know when we get there."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Yun Chengying wisely didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked out the window and sighed, "At this speed, it will probably take us half a year to reach the wilderness."
Yun Chengxi leaned lazily against the carriage: "What's the rush? We can enjoy the scenery along the way. We'll be passing through many large and small countries to get there..."
He suddenly sat up straight: "I heard that Loulan, which we pass through, is famous for its wine. We should take a few jars with us."
Xu Ji raised an eyebrow: "Brother Yun Qi, if you want to drink wine, just tell me. I have a lot of fine wines from all over the world stored in my space!"
Xu Ji took out a beautifully packaged bottle of red wine from his spatial storage and handed it to Yun Chengxi: "Try this, it's an '82 Lafite."
What is Lafite? Yun Chengxi and Yun Chengying stared blankly at the wine he took out.
Yun Chengxi took the bottle and examined it carefully: "This glass bottle is exquisite, but I can't understand the strange characters on it."
Xu Ji smiled and explained, "This is a foreign language, the script of overseas countries."
He skillfully opened the bottle, took two wine glasses from his spatial storage, and poured some wine for them: "Try it, I guarantee it's better than the wine from Loulan."
Yun Chengxi took a careful sip, his eyes widening immediately: "This wine is good!"
Yun Chengying also took a taste and raised an eyebrow in surprise: "This wine is even better than the tribute wine!"
Xu Ji said with a smile, "I have a lot of good wine in my space, and I'll bring them out for you to try later."
Yun Chengxi, who loved fine wine, immediately turned to Xu Ji and said happily, "From today onwards, you are my brother!"
Yun Chengying's lips twitched: "Seventh Brother, can't you be a little more dignified? A little wine and you're already calling someone your brother!"
Yun Chengxi immediately retorted, "Xiao Ba, don't talk like that! If someone gave you a sword you liked, you'd still acknowledge me as your brother!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ji immediately took out a gleaming sword from his spatial storage and handed it to Yun Chengying, saying, "This sword is for you."
Yun Chengying took the sword and examined it carefully. His eyes lit up instantly: "What a fine sword! The patterns on it are actually made of tempered steel?!"
He stroked the sword with great delight, exclaiming excitedly, "This sword is so much better than mine!"
Xu Ji smiled and said, "I have many more swords like this in my space."
Yun Chengying immediately looked up, his face full of sincerity: "From today onwards, you are also my brother!"
Yun Chengxi laughed out loud: "Who was it that just said I was useless?"
Yun Chengying said without changing his expression, "Times have changed."
He solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and said to Xu Ji, "Brother Xu, if there's anything I can do to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Okay," Xu Ji replied with a smile.
Yun Qingqing watched them joking around quietly, her eyes full of smiles.
Xu Ji stretched and said, "Riding in a carriage is so boring. How about we play cards to pass the time?"
As he spoke, he pulled two decks of cards from his storage space: "The loser gets to stick a note on their card!"
