Chapter 1 Daliushu Village
Wei State.
Xiahe County, Daliushu Village.
The morning light is dim.
Willow trees grow wildly in front of and behind the village.
Fang Yue lies on a large bluestone by the river, holding a willow leaf in his mouth and a lotus leaf on his head.
Not far from him, a buffalo with shiny fur lowers its head to eat grass.
Further away, the turbulent river rolls with waves, and fish jump out of the water from time to time.
A young man, a buffalo, and fish in the river.
What a beautiful water village.
"Although I ran a farm in my previous life, this is the first time I herd cattle."
Fang Yue lies on his side, and it has been three months since he came to this world.
He still can't adapt. The hard rock is not as comfortable as the recliner he just bought.
He sighed, subconsciously took out a cigarette, and stretched out his hand to find that there is no pocket on the pants that are too small for his sister.
Well, in the previous life, I made up my mind to quit smoking more than a dozen times, but it seems that I will finally quit it this time.
Green mountains and clear waters, blue sky and white clouds, fresh air and natural ecology.
This is exactly the pastoral life he longed for in his previous life.
However, this is an ancient world with extremely low productivity.
The court imposed heavy taxes, harsh policies were more ferocious than tigers, and various levies made the lives of the lower classes extremely difficult.
Facing the loess and back to the sky, working hard all year round, it is difficult to maintain food and clothing.
If there is a disaster year, selling children is even more of a problem.
Especially with only two meals a day, thin soup and dry biscuits, it is not enough to eat.
Most of the time every day, I am hungry.
"Oh, I really want to eat meat."
In his previous life, he couldn't live without meat, but now, he hasn't eaten meat for three months, and he almost forgot what meat tastes like.
Could this be what Confucius said about not knowing the taste of meat in March?
Fang Yue's eyes looked at the buffalo in front of him, no, he looked at Xiahe in front of the buffalo.
He didn't want to eat this buffalo. After all, this buffalo was bought by his family after five years of frugality, but it is an important labor force.
During the busy farming season, they have to work hard.
If they didn't have this cow, they wouldn't be able to cultivate the dozen acres of land.
Besides, the imperial court strictly forbade the slaughter of oxen.
If you slaughtered oxen privately, you would be arrested and sent to jail.
Fang Yue stood up, stepped over the old buffalo that was grazing, and came to the river.
This was the bend of the river, and the water flow was relatively gentle.
"There should be a lot of fish in this river bay."
With his rich fishing experience in his previous life, Fang Yue looked at the river water under his feet and couldn't help thinking.
Although Daliushu Village is close to Xiahe, a river that nourishes eight villages and nine villages on both sides, in fact, few people go fishing in this era.
On the one hand, strong laborers are basically trapped on the land. They have to keep farming and harvesting all year round to barely pay taxes, and basically have no free time.
More importantly, fishing is very time-consuming, and it's okay to catch a little occasionally.
If you fish every day and make a living from it, you can't cash in the fish at all.
After all, this place is more than 200 miles away from the nearest Xiahe County, and the fish can't be transported there at all.
"I'll go back today and find a way to make a fishing rod. I'll try it tomorrow."
Fang Yue thought silently that as a senior fisherman, he would naturally make some fishing tools.
However, thinking about the conditions of his family, he could only try to make a fishing rod first.
"Brother Zhi is going to jump into the river, come quickly!"
"Brother Zhi, don't think too much, don't jump!"
At this time, a loud noise sounded from a distance.
When Fang Yue heard that someone wanted to jump into the river, he immediately looked around.
Thinking that he didn't see anyone around just now,
With the idea of doubt and watching the excitement, Fang Yue looked around.
No one, I didn't see anyone on the upper and lower banks of the river!
But the next moment, Fang Yue suddenly came back to his senses.
Brother Zhi!
Isn't this his nickname!
He knew that people in ancient times would give their children cheap names, because the elders loved and cherished their children, and feared that their children could not grow up smoothly and healthily, so they deliberately marked their children as cheap.
But what about Shitou and Huzi?
At the very least, it would be fine to name them Gouzi and Erdan.
This Zhuer or something, he doesn't look like a pig at all.
However, Fang Yue didn't intend to correct the names of these children, after all, he didn't want to drink boy's urine.
These days, you have to be in the same dust as everyone else.
If your style of doing things is too jumpy and a little bit out of line, you will be criticized.
I remember when he just came here, he was still thinking about copying poems and passing the imperial examinations in this ancient society.
But it happened that at that time, Chen Mazi from the same village heard a few words from somewhere, and dragged a few words in the village, and was held down by the village elders and fed several bowls of boy's urine.
It was said that it was to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil spirits, which made Chen Mazi vomit and have diarrhea, and finally lost his life.
If he, a country boy who can't read a single word, shows any abnormality, he will probably be treated as possessed by evil spirits.
Seeing this, Fang Yue can only wait for his chance.
One person cannot fight against the whole world.
Since it has come, let's make the best of it.
"Brother Zhi, don't move."
"Be a man, what's there to worry about? If you jump into the river, what will your parents do!"
The shouting was close at hand, and Fang Yue just turned around to see who was trying to defame him.
At this moment, I felt a black shadow flying over.
"Damn! Don't come over~"
Seeing the person flying over, Fang Yue couldn't help but burst out a foul language and hurriedly dodged to the side.
Fang Yue had just dodged, and the next moment, the black shadow rushed into the calm river bay.
"A-choo, brother, thank you for saving me just now."
Er Gouzi snorted and looked at Fang Yue with suspicion.
Fang Yue looked at the sturdy boy with a bow and arrow in front of him, and couldn't help but be speechless.
This is his neighbor and a descendant of the same clan. His family is a hunter. He and his father Fang Dahu are the top hunters within a radius of 30 miles in Daliushu Village.
They can often hunt prey, so although the family does not work, they live a good life and are considered a superior family in the village.
So, although Fang Er Gou is three years younger than him, he is a head taller than him.
His arms were thick, almost as big as his thighs.
"Brother Zhi, are you really not going to jump into the river?"
Fang Ergou scratched his head. Even though Fang Yue had explained it just now, he still asked in confusion.
The rough man had muscles all over his head, and he was a simple country man, so he was naturally very stubborn.
Looking at Fang Ergou's serious and stubborn look, Fang Yue was also angry and laughed, and was about to continue explaining.
At this moment, the sun was at its zenith, and the golden light flashed his eyes.
Fang Yue couldn't help blinking, and when he opened his eyes again, he was stunned.
A paragraph of text flashed in front of him.
