He Zhao was sitting on the clearing in the old forest with a basket on his back and a hoe in his hand, breathing heavily.
Without him, he had misjudged his own strength and the physical exertion of fighting three wolves.
It was estimated that it would take about two hours to arrive at Qingshan Village, but it ended up taking a full three hours. Along the way, not only did you need to rely on your willpower, you also had to keep an eye on the road, listen to all directions, and pay attention to the goings-on around you.
Please note that a bad wolf escaped not long ago.
Wolves are very organized and disciplined, and they are also very vindictive.
Who knows if they are secretly watching him, waiting for a flaw to be revealed?
If something goes wrong in the last tremor, wouldn't it be an unjust death?
After resting for a while, he forced himself on his body and walked little by little toward his home on the edge of the village.
"Squeak!"
Pushing open the dilapidated courtyard door, a thatched house came into view.
The village is divided into three floors. The outer layer is populated by medicine people, the middle layer is occupied by tenants, and the inner layer is occupied by hunters.
Dragging his tired body, he walked to the thatched cottage.
There wasn't even a lock on the door, and it opened with just a push.
Not having money to buy a lock is just one of the reasons. The other is that there is really nothing in his house that can make people miss him.
"Really, the family is surrounded by walls."
Although he had the memory to back it up, when he entered the room, he still couldn't help but complain.
In addition to a bed that was so worn that it could collapse at any time, there was only a three-legged table and two patched chairs. Look at that unlucky look, it might break into pieces if you sit on it.
The bowl is full of chips. You have to be careful when eating. If you are not careful, you may scratch your mouth. The length and thickness are different. The tachyons you cut with your own knife all show the poverty of the owner.
"What a sin!"
Emulator, are you sure it's me playing the game, not the game playing me?
Turn around and walk to the water tank, pick up the gourd and scoop out a big scoop.
"Gudong Gudong Gudong"
"Crack!"
After drinking the water, he threw the gourd in his hand into the water jar and threw himself on the old bed.
"Forget it, let's make peace with it now. Take a good sleep first and replenish your energy."
meal?
As long as there is a grain of rice in the house, he will not drink a ladle of water.
I slept until the bright moon was high in the sky, and then I woke up.
"Cuckoo"
The stomach immediately protested, reminding the owner that it was hungry.
"Stop yelling and thrust harder. I'll strangle you to death later!"
After he finished speaking, he walked to the corner of the kitchen and pulled out a sharp knife.
This knife is about as long as an adult's forearm, and it is one of the only iron weapons in the house.
"If it is well maintained, it will definitely kill people neatly."
If it is rusty, you can either go to the blacksmith shop in the village and spend money to sharpen the knife, or use homespun methods yourself. However, the homespun methods summarized by the mountain people have a high probability of affecting the life of the knife.
He put the sharp knife on his back with his backhand. Seeing that it was already past midnight, he nodded and found a piece of cloth to cover his face.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the door directly, left the small courtyard surrounded by the fence, and ran towards Old Wang's house at the east end of the village.
It was late at night, and since he was outside the village, no one noticed him at all.
The entertainment projects of this era are actually no less than those in the modern world.
Playing the yu, playing the harp, playing the harp, playing the harp, fighting cocks, running dogs, sumo wrestling, listening to books, and beating balls.
You can play if you want, but you have to have money!
The poor people opened their eyes every day and had two meals a day. Not only did they have to eat enough, but their families also had to eat. After dark, those who had a wife had some intimacy, and those who didn't had a wife to play with themselves.
In other places, the surname He is not clear. But in Qingshan Village, most villagers eat two meals in the morning and evening. The first meal is called a big meal and is eaten between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning. The second meal is called a snack in the afternoon.
Eat between 4:00~6:00.
Their rhythm of life is to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. When they get up in the morning, they have to work in the fields, which consumes a lot of physical energy. They need to eat more to be strong, so they are called big food.
The sun is about to set in the afternoon, so there is no need to work. I go home and have dinner and then go to bed. Lying down does not consume much energy, and the food eaten is relatively small, so it is called a snack.
No one stays up late, there is a lot of work waiting for tomorrow!
In the early morning, everyone slept soundly.
With the bright white moon as a light source along the way, and having lived in the village for more than ten years, he reached Wang Xiaowu's house without any hindrance.
Compared with Lao He's family, the quality of life of Lao Wang's family is slightly better.
There are three thatched houses!
There is a room for Wang Tiezhang, his father-in-law, a room for his son and daughter-in-law, and the remaining room is the kitchen.
He twisted his hands and feet, stepped over the knee-high fence, and headed towards the main house.
As he got closer, his breathing even slowed down.
"Pa"
"?"
He Zhao frowned because there was a strange noise coming from the room opposite.
'Not sleeping? You shouldn't!'
He stopped and squatted on the ground.
"Pa"
"Yeah"
"???"
It sounds a bit unseemly.
So, he raised his feet and continued to approach.
Coming under the window, a blushing voice sounded.
The sound of impact sounded, making everyone's mouth go dry.
'Lao Wang's wife has been dead for eight years, where did he find her?'
There are no brothels in Qingshan Village. There are about 300 households in Qingshan Village, and everyone usually looks down without looking up. Who wants to be a prostitute?
There are a few widows, and there are always rumors of romantic affairs.
‘Widow Zhang? Widow Li? Widow Zhao?’
In my mind, I subconsciously thought of several older widows who still had charm.
It's not that there are no young people, but which young widow is willing to have sex with an old man who has yellow teeth and is usually slovenly?
Just kidding, there are plenty of young and strong hunters and tenant farmers in the village, but there is no shortage of them either.
I can't stand the loneliness, and there are too many people on the kang with hooked fingers.
“Hate it lightly”
"I didn't expect that at this age, he would be much better than that good-for-nothing your son."
A young woman's voice came out, and a well-known ruthless man in the corner was heard outside the window, and his eyes almost popped out.
‘Fuck, she’s actually Wang Xiaowu’s wife? My father-in-law and his daughter-in-law are having an affair, it’s so exciting!’
Damn it, if Fa Xiao knew about it, he would probably crawl back from the mountain and strangle this couple to death.
"Hehe, old man, I was a martial arts practitioner when I was young. If I hadn't competed with others in the martial arts, I was picked on my hand muscles after losing. In addition, as I get older, I have to eat and drink all day long, which leads to the decline of my energy and blood. Why?
As for the evening scene being so desolate."
"Why are you talking so much? A good man should not mention his bravery, so please put more effort into me."
As the two people talked, the battle became more intense.
After a while, a low roar sounded, and the sounds in the room gradually fell silent.
"Go back. If Xiao Wu comes back, it won't be good if he sees it."
Wang Tiezhang's weak voice sounded, reminding his daughter-in-law.
"It's not good? On the first night after we got married, Xiao Wu was as drunk as a puddle of mud, lying next to the two of us. Why didn't you know it was not good when you hugged me hard?
Why didn't you know it was wrong when you used Chicken Blood Lake to get your son? When you lied to your son that he borrowed Liu Jiao's usury money to marry me back, why didn't you know it was wrong?"
Three bad ones in a row made Lao Wang feel ashamed and panicked.
"Hey, old man, if I hadn't tasted your taste, how could I be willing to spend all my money to marry you back as my son?"
"Fart, if you hadn't happened upon me and my father, I could have married into your family!"
Wang Xiaowu's wife raised her voice slightly and cursed.
"Keep your voice down, you still have the nerve to ask whether you are having trouble with your father again when you go back to your parents' house in the afternoon."
"Yes, yes, there's more. It's not like you don't know that my father is not the only man in the family. He has two elder brothers and one younger brother. That's a joy!"
"Let me tell you, you came back today with a glowing face, four men waiting on you, and you are not afraid of dying on the bed."
"My dear lady, I have only heard of cows dying from exhaustion, but I have never seen a field that was damaged by plowing."
At this moment, He Zhaoren was dumbfounded, and his outlook was even more shattered.
He is a knowledgeable man!
Not to mention things between people, both people and lizards have seen the news.
It's just that the news is only on the surface after all. Where can I see it with my own eyes like it is now?
It was indeed a large-scale simulation scene. It taught him a lesson on the first day and almost made his "Tao heart" unstable.
"In the small Qingshan Village, there are two big families, Wolong and Phoenix, at the same time."
The father-in-law and daughter-in-law teased each other, and their voices gradually became fainter.
After a heart-wrenching battle, it was obvious that he was physically exhausted.
Half an hour passed in a flash.
The sound of deep sleep sounded, and he turned around and came to the door.
Villagers in Qingshan Village use a door latch to prevent theft at home. It is a sliding latch that is inserted into the door to prevent it from being pushed open after the door is closed.
He took out the sharp knife from his waist and inserted it through the crack of the door.
Then, it shakes slightly.
The door latch also followed, slowly moving to the right.
After a while, the sharp knife sank.
He knew in his heart that the other end of the door latch had fallen off.
"Zhi Zhi Zhi"
He raised his hand and pushed it open gently, then stepped in quietly.
It's a pity that I don't have any support, otherwise I might have failed today.
In fact, except for wealthy families or wealthy families, no one can use a door stick for anything!
He was poor and killing people was a serious crime, so he had no time to trouble the mountain people.
After successfully entering the main room, he held the knife in his backhand and came to the bed.
On the bed, two naked figures lay.
Not to mention, Wang Xiaowu’s wife is so white and big!
When a young man saw this taboo scene, he was stunned on the spot.
He ignored his body's reaction and quickly covered Wang Tiezhang's mouth with one hand.
"宠wuwuwu"
"puff"
He raised the knife and dropped it, immediately piercing the opponent's throat.
heart?
Who knows if Lao Wang was born differently than ordinary people, with his heart on the right side?
Pull out the sharp knife and insert it into the left chest.
"puff"
Pull it out again and insert it into the right chest.
"puff"
Three sword strikes in a row, let alone the former Lao Wang who was an expert, even if he was a god in his previous life, he still has to burp now.
The violent struggling movements woke up the slut daughter-in-law.
"who?"
Before she could answer, a cold light flashed through the room.
"puff"
A knife penetrated the neck, followed by the sound of two sharp knives entering the flesh.
"Plop!"
The woman straightened up and fell down on the bed, becoming a pair of desperate mandarin ducks with her father-in-law.
"call"
He Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Although the whole process was uneventful, if something went wrong, the neighbors would probably be alarmed.
In an emergency, run away slowly. If you are blocked by someone, you will either be beaten to death on the spot, or taken to the county government and imprisoned.
"Wang Xiaowu, Wang Xiaowu, you have to thank me. Otherwise, you can only stand underground, wearing a hat every day, watching your father and your wife having an affair with green eyes."
After taking a breath, he stood up, picked up the fire folding book, and began to rummage through the boxes with the help of the faint light.
You’re here, why don’t you bring some loot home?
After a long time, he came out carrying half a bunch of money and half a book.
Half a coin = five hundred coins = half a tael of silver.
A bucket of rice in the county costs about 200 yuan, and a bucket of rice weighs about fifteen kilograms.
'The food money is settled.'
After leaving the main room, I turned a corner and headed towards the kitchen.
After searching carefully, there was no trace of meat and fish, only ten kilograms of corn.
What can I say about this stuff? It's so astringent that it can't be swallowed, and my chest hurts when I eat it.
It can only be eaten to satisfy one's hunger, but it cannot be said to be delicious.
But the nobility is different. They eat crystal rice, which is soft, waxy and sweet.
No matter in any world, there is still a huge difference between the poor and the rich.
'Grass!'
Even though it was unpalatable, he still carried the rice bag on his shoulders.
When I came to the main house, I blew on the fire stick in my hand, and the sparks immediately lit up.
"call"
Thatched houses are absolutely flammable.
When the fire started, he ran out with all his strength.
When I returned to my home, the fire in Lao Wang's house was raging.
"It's gone!"
The villagers woke up from their dreams, and the nearest neighbor to Wang Tiezhang's house broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly carried buckets of water and came out to control the fire.
If a gust of wind blows, everyone around may be burned to ashes.
He didn't care about the disturbances from the outside world and just poured ten kilograms of corn into the pot to cook.
While the villagers put out the fire, he officially started dinner.
After taking a mouthful of corn, a familiar feeling came to my heart.
If he hadn't been so hungry, he might not have been able to eat it.
Ten kilograms of rice went into my stomach in less than ten minutes.
"belch"
I burped, feeling fuller than I had ever felt in more than ten years in my previous life, and finally succeeded tonight.
"One meal weighs ten kilograms, and two meals a day cost at least twenty kilograms. The cost is close to three hundred cash. Even the hunter in the village probably can't afford it. It's a miracle that he can live to be sixteen years old!"
After sighing with emotion, he took out half of the book he had dug out from Wang Tiezhang's place.
Although he had been running around to fill his stomach since he was a child, his father in his previous life was a wise man and would teach his son how to read when he had nothing to do.
It doesn’t matter whether you can write or not, what matters is that you can read!
Otherwise, I might be blinded when facing books.
There is no title on the booklet.
Open it, study it carefully, close your eyes and meditate.
"Sanshou."
The book begins with a brief introduction to the content. It is said that the author gathered together the four-position Sanshou techniques that he obtained from other sources. Unfortunately, only half of the book records two postures.
The second half? The other two styles?
I guess I have to ask Wang Tiezhang, who was buried in the sea of fire.
“It’s a bit difficult to practice and it costs money.”
