Chapter 136: The Instinct to Survive
The next morning, Bingyu got up early, washed up, and went downstairs to buy breakfast. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info waited for Qingxuan to get up, came over and knocked on Bingyu's door, and after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door. Qing Xuan wondered, did this lady sleep so deeply, and she didn't even hear such a loud knock on the door? I knocked it twice harder, but there was still no one answering inside, could it be that something happened to the baby? A hint of ominous intent flashed through Qing Xuan's mind. Take a few steps away, then slam your strength into the door.
"Boom", the door opened, and Qing Xuan fell into the house at once. It turned out that the door was not locked at all!
"Oops," Qing Xuan endured the pain and got up from the ground, and looked carefully around the room, only to see that the quilts on the bed were neatly folded, the table was wiped clean, and even the floor seemed to be swept over, because there was no trace of debris. But where did this lady go?
Just as I was wondering, I saw Bingyu standing outside the door and shouting, "Honey, hurry up and help me." ”
Hearing the lady's voice, Qing Xuan hurriedly went out, it turned out that Bingyu was carrying a paper bag in one hand and an aluminum basin in the other, and the aluminum basin was actually holding white porridge that was still steaming.
"It turns out that you went to buy breakfast, I thought it was ......" Qing Xuan said halfway, his cheeks slightly red.
"Thought I left you alone?"
"Not really, I'm sure you're not going to leave me alone, I just thought something had happened to you......" he said with a look of embarrassment.
"Why, as long as my father doesn't arrest me back, I'll be fine, don't worry."
"I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that your father will arrest you back, then I will never see you again." He said timidly.
"Don't worry, I guess he's so busy all day long that he doesn't have time to take care of me."
Bingyu entered the room and put the bun on the table. Qing Xuan took the pot of white porridge and walked to the table. The moment he put down the white porridge, he grabbed Bingyu, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and said, "I want you not to leave me for the rest of your life, this life and this life, no, life and life." ”
"Okay, I promise you that I will never leave you for the rest of my life, and I will never leave you for the rest of my life." Bing Yu thought to herself, what happened to this Xianggong today, and suddenly stuck to me like a child, was it not scared to see me just now.
She untied Qing Xuan's hand and said, "It's time to eat, the porridge will be cold in a while." ”
"Uh, you have to kiss me to rest assured." He continued to be coquettish, like an unweaned child.
Bing Yu turned around and kissed him lightly on the cheek, and then he happily spread his hand and sat down at the table.
"What are you going to do today?" He opened the paper bag and took out a bun from it.
"I'm going to go to Changshou Village, I want to visit Lu Cheng."
"Are you really going to learn how to make furniture?"
"Yes, the first thing to do furniture can make money, second, when we have a house in the future, we don't have to go outside to buy furniture, home-made, what you want to put on what, after a period of time if you don't like it, you can change another set." Bing Yu fantasized about her future home, full of furniture she had built herself, and she was so happy just thinking about it.
"Since you learn to make furniture, then I'll learn to refine medicine, let's study separately, so as to save waste of physical strength."
"Good. Alchemy and furniture, these two markets are quite huge, just imagine, people eat grains, how can there be no sickness, sick must take medicine. In this Tang world, warriors are like forests, and if there are warriors, it is inevitable that they will fight each other, and if they fight, they will bleed and be hurt, so our medicine will come in handy......"
"So, as long as there are people, there is a market for our stuff. With the market, our silver went into our pockets. ”
"Haha, as you said, the prospects are really good. It was as if I was now seeing a mountain of silver in our house. ”
While eating, the two planned their future lives, and this meal was very enjoyable. The white porridge was also cooked just right, soft and glutinous, and there was a sweet taste in the mouth, a whole small pot of porridge, and the two of them drank not even a grain of rice.
After eating, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Qingxuan continued to study in Chengfu, while Bingyu went to the market to buy two jars of good drunken life and dreams, as well as high-quality stinky tofu, as well as roast duck and osmanthus balls, each of which was a double portion. With these things in hand, she headed straight for Longevity Village.
It has been a long time since I left Changshou Village. The village has changed a lot from before. First of all, the small dirt road in the middle of the village was widened and paved with a layer of bluestone slabs. There are many ginkgo trees planted on both sides of the road, and the trunks of the ginkgo trees are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and their huge fan-shaped leaves flutter in the wind.
Secondly, a new house was built on the vacant land at the southern end of the village, and these houses were all made of bamboo. The nearby mountains are full of bamboo forests, and there is no shortage of bamboo, and because the village is close to the southern part of the mainland, there is a rainy season in summer, so it is necessary to use bamboo to build a house, which is not only moisture-proof and warm, but also economical.
Thirdly, it was this new house that quickly attracted the purchase of wealthy people in the nearby villages, because most of these people started by doing business, so they had silver in their hands, and their arrival led to the economic and agricultural development of the village, and at the same time, they also brought advanced technology and life concepts, and this isolated small village is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Everything in the world is developing and advancing in change, unchanged is temporary, and change is eternal.
Bingyu walked down the wide road, past a drugstore, a money bank, and a grocery store, before turning onto a small dirt road at a fork in the road. A few years ago, when Bing Yu was still living in this village, the master once led him through this road. At that time, I went to the carpenter's house to buy a table. Now that I haven't left for a few years, I don't know if Carpenter Lu still lives here.
In the middle of summer, the artemisia grass on both sides of the road has grown more than one person tall, and the dense artemisia grass exudes the smell of plant fumigation. Bingyu picked two dogtail grasses from the side of the road and put them in her mouth, she was thinking about what to say when the time came, Lu Cheng would teach her the craft of making furniture.
The cicada chirped noisily in the grass, and this chirping attracted a praying mantis. Bing Yu was walking on the path, and suddenly, a praying mantis jumped out of nowhere and landed in the middle of the path. He looked around with a thief, probably sensing a stronger aura around him, so he fled in a panic. Not far away, on a tree branch, a yellow finch was watching everything below, as the most powerful enemy in the biological chain, it always started to attack after being very sure.
Bing Yu casually looked up and spotted the little yellow finch, which had gathered its yellow wings and watched the movement in the grass below with its eyes extremely intent.
"Hehe," Bing Yu curled the corners of her mouth, and it seemed that it wouldn't take a few minutes for a fight to take place. This is the struggle of the insect community. Like the fairy world, the human world, and the demon world, the law of the jungle is the only law. No matter where you are, if you want to survive, you have to become strong yourself, and relying on others will never be more certain than relying on yourself.
She also wants to make herself strong, no matter what aspect, this is her survival instinct, and it is the most basic rule of survival that she has learned when she came to this world. This stems from her childhood, stems from the cowardice of her parents, so she is often bullied by the neighbor's children, in a home once picked up the flat burden, stood in front of those boys who wanted to bully her, saw their retreating eyes and turned to flee the figure, she understood a truth, that is, only when you are strong, others will not bully you, you can survive in your world......
This truth was further confirmed in her later life, so until now, she has continued to learn various knowledge and skills to cope with the rapidly changing society.
Thinking all the way, I unconsciously came to the foot of a small hill, and on this hillside, there lived Lu Ban's descendants, Lu Cheng's family.
Lu Cheng, is the tenth generation of Lu Ban, he inherited and carried forward Lu Ban's skills in building furniture, and has unique insights and innovations in furniture making, so he has gradually become a celebrity in a radius of 100 miles around here. There is an endless stream of people who come to make furniture, and some even spend a lot of money to beg him to make furniture. It's just that his strength alone is small after all, plus his age is getting older day by day, and his physical strength is also a little weak, so he can only shake his head and sigh when he sees a lot of business ranking behind.
Lu Cheng married two wives, but it is a pity that neither wife gave him a son, although the two daughters are as beautiful as flowers, but it is a pity that they can't do anything except show off their clothes all day long. The rules of the ancestors of the Lu family are passed on to men but not to women, and seeing that the branch that is passed on to Lu Cheng is about to disappear, Lu Cheng is also very anxious.
On this day, Lu Cheng was planing wooden slats in the yard when he saw a person coming from the hillside. I'm afraid I'm here to ask for furniture again, it seems that I can only tell her not to wait, the furniture at hand is not finished yet, and the furniture she wants may not be able to be done in the year of the monkey.
Lu Cheng thought to himself, his hands didn't stop, the planer swiped across the wooden board, and the shavings slid down to the ground like snowflakes.
"Master Lu, don't come unharmed." A crisp and hearty female voice fell into Lu Cheng's ears. Listening to this voice, it was as if the woman knew him, and of course, there were many people who knew him, but he knew very little.
Lu Cheng looked up and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing in front of him, carrying a bunch of gift boxes and two jars of wine. The aroma of the wine wafted out through the lid of the jar, and flew into Lu Cheng's nose lightly.
"Well, it seems to be a good wine." Lu Cheng said secretly in his heart.
In addition to liking to make furniture, Lu Cheng has only one hobby in his life, and that is to like drinking. He drank all the best wine in the world, and of course, most of it was given by those who asked him to make furniture.
