Chapter 5: Dreaming back to the Northern Song Dynasty
The third uncle's cow has watched more closely since then, and he didn't dare to leave his side for a single step, and there were so many crazy people in the quiet village, and the third uncle kept reading in his mouth: If you catch them, you will send them to the official. But he was worried, did the county lord care about such a small matter? The cow didn't die, and eighty percent didn't care!
Liang Chuan's health is getting better and better, and he is becoming more and more attached to Yi Niang, and the two of them ask and answer one by one together, as if they will never finish talking.
"Were we born here?"
"No, you don't know your hometown, you only know that your two brothers died when you were wandering, and you survived by asking for food and then ran into me."
"So I'm a beggar!"
Lin Yiniang said angrily when she heard it: "Don't beg beggars and beggars, how ugly, we used to be hard-working people, the north used to be chaotic, I was relatively young, I was separated from my parents and I have been wandering to the south, all the way to begging, after coming to this Fengshan, I met you who begged from the south, you were thin and black at that time, like a piece of carbon, you don't like to talk, your personality is very wooden, no one in the whole village wants to see the two of us, just rely on ourselves for our lives!" Speaking of this, Lin Yiniang's little face couldn't help but float with a layer of happiness, and she recalled the events of the year, immersed in full happiness.
"Later, I followed you every time I asked for food, and other children called me a beggar wife, I was very happy, because except for my father, no one treated me so well, I also thought in my heart, I will marry you as a lady when I grow up, I didn't expect to really be a beggar mother!" Lin Yiniang recalled the bitterness of the past, but she didn't necessarily have a little sadness on her face, but her big black eyes flashed with inspiration, like water tenderness.
Zhang San looked at Lin Yiniang, her eyes were full of tenderness, Yiniang took Zhang San's hand, rubbing involuntarily, and was drunk stupidly. Zhang San looked at Lin Yiniang's expression, and felt infinite emotion in his heart, he got a lady for no reason, and he was still a good lady with a kind heart!
"At that time, we asked for food in Zizi during the day, and there was nowhere to stay at night, so you took me here, and the place where we lived was originally a half-collapsed broken grass house, the weather was good, and we could sleep comfortably with some straw, and if it was windy and rainy, it would be sad, and we were often drenched in the rain."
Liang Chuan has never experienced this kind of life, he was also full of joy in his childhood as a modern person, and he did not catch up with the years when the generation was worried about three meals, he had parents and brothers at home, and he was the youngest, and he had more love than several brothers, and the peers around him were probably like this.
I probably think that the most ordinary thing is the most precious thing for others.
"We lived in this dilapidated house for three years, and no one took care of it for the first two years, so we both repaired the dilapidated house by ourselves, went to the mountains to get some wood and straw, patched up the holes in the roof, and plastered the walls around it, and started living here."
"Doesn't this house have an owner?" Liang Chuan asked.
"Yes, that's the problem." Lin Yiniang said this, and her tone began to be a little anxious. "When we lived here for the first two years, no one in the village came to chew our tongues, after all, a broken house had been rotten here for several years, and no one cared about it. Since we rebuilt the house, some scoundrels from nowhere came up with the idea of beating this house, bullying us as foreigners, there is no family shade here, people are weak, just say that this house is handed down by their ancestors, and it was secretly occupied by our two beggars. The more Lin Yiniang talked, the more angry she became.
"Ever since we built this house, you've asked me to keep this place and go out and make money on my own. At the beginning, I used the money I begged to go to the market to buy some farm tools, go up the mountain to chop firewood and collect mountain goods, at that time you were very diligent, and it didn't take long for us to go outside to beg, and the days are getting better and better, in fact, this house is useless, and the water leaks everywhere when the wind and rain comes. Zhang San saw that the more she talked, the more angry she became, afraid that she would be angry, and kept persuading her to dissipate her anger.
It turned out to be like this, and sure enough, it doesn't seem to be a war time at this time, and the lives of the common people seem to be passable, without the tragedy of the troubled times like selling children and girls. As long as the people are given a place to stand, they can survive with great tenacity and even create amazing miracles.
"Will those scoundrels still come now?"
"I haven't seen it for a long time, our shabby house to be honest, they just let them forget it, more is better than less, they don't expect to get any benefits, and then they don't come much, or our days are passing slowly, just a few days ago when you entered the mountain, otherwise it's all good." When Lin Yiniang said this, she suddenly laughed, and Zhang San understood.
Land and neighborhood disputes have always been the root of social contradictions for thousands of years, even in the modern era of Zhang San's work, the reports received every day in the unit are more or less related to land and neighborhood disputes, ranging from quarrels and troubles to fights and injuries at worst, which makes people have a headache.
"Does my accident have anything to do with these people?"
"I don't know, it stands to reason that if someone was beaten, there should be bruises or something on your body, but when I found you, your body was intact, but all the bones were broken, and even Lang Zhong had never seen such a strange thing.
Well, Zhang San asked Yi Niang for more information about the place she was in right now.
The village is called Helu Village, and there are only about 100 families, surnamed He, surnamed Huang, surnamed Zheng, and their ancestors are all northerners who emigrated here. Helu is the edge of Fengshan Township, the last village on the north bank of Nanxi, and the only way into the mountain is from in front of their house, but the ancient deep mountains are forbidden places for the common people, and there are all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts in it, and if you are not careful, you have to give your life in the mountains. This mountain is called Hulu Mountain by the locals, but it doesn't look like a gourd.
An official road traverses Fengshan, is the only way to the northern city of Fuzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, said that the official road is not big, mud dirt road, villagers and outsiders in and out of the mountain and the past have to pass here, the old people in the township said, along this dirt road has been walking, you can go to the capital, those who go to the exam are from here to the capital, there are some businessmen. To the south is Xinghua County, where Fengshan Township is located.
Most of the land boundaries of Fengshan Township are mountains and forests, and the basic situation is that the points that can be cultivated in paddy fields and dry land account for three points, the mountains account for six points, and the other point is rivers, ponds and ditches. Because of the slightly larger population, there is not much land that can be used for farming, and the prevalence of land annexation, paddy fields cannot afford to be planted, and cheap taxes on dry fields cannot be paid, and some people in the township can only farm for the landlords, and there are fewer and fewer who can be self-sufficient.
"What dynasty is this?"
"Great Song Dynasty!"
Great Song! Liang Chuan seems to have heard a familiar term! grabbed Lin Yiniang's hand and asked anxiously, "Wait, what dynasty did you say it is now?" ”
Lin Yiniang was frightened by this sudden huge reaction, and she didn't know what she said wrong, and everyone was stunned.
Liang Chuan looked at Lin Yiniang's wrong expression, knew that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly said sorry to Lin Yiniang.
Lin Yiniang was seriously puzzled, did she say something wrong, the third brother was so excited, this is not good, and when the injury hurts again, she said: "Third brother, did I say something wrong, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhang San said in his heart, sure enough, he came to a certain era before, but there seemed to be two dynasties with Song as the national name, one was the Liu Song Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the other was the Zhao Song Dynasty after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. ”
Lin Yiniang replied: "The official family's surname is Zhao, whoever is in charge, it is naturally the official family." "I don't know why it's such a simple question, the third brother also has to ask, alas, I really can't forget anything.
Could it be that he came to the Zhao and Song dynasties that were repeatedly defeated and revolted in the textbooks, and there were countless weak and difficult to return, this era seems to have been stared at by several ethnic minorities all the time, and they still have to pay all kinds of compensation to others even if they win the war, and they are extremely humiliated. It's just that now I don't know if it's the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, I don't know which one it is, I don't feel any good, there is no positive thing in the book and TV in this era, how can I survive.
"Do you know the name of the official family now?" Zhang San asked.
"I don't know what the official family is called, where will I know so much, I know a little more except when I was wandering before, and now I haven't been out for a long time, what happens outside, as long as there is no major event in the county and township to announce the world, where will we know, as long as today's porridge is enough to eat, it can rain normally, and our life can go on, who is the official family and what do we have to do."
Also, more than ninety percent of the ancient people have never even gone out to their own county in their lives, and the world is a sentence for them, who is the Son of Heaven and how much difference is there between them, it is not the same every day at sunrise and sunset, guarding the one acre and three points of land to plan.
The only difference may be that the officials are sage, cherish the people's strength, and do not compete with the people for profit, so that their lives are more comfortable.
"Then Yi Niang, do you know where the capital is now?" The Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty are not the same, the Southern Song Dynasty is a couple, and almost half of the country is in the south of the Yangtze River. The land area of the Northern Song Dynasty was much larger than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty had four capitals, which were a little different from today's, Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, Henan Mansion in Xijing, Daimyo Mansion in Beijing, and Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing. Among them, Tokyo is the capital and is located in Bianliang. Xijing is Luoyang. Nanjing is Songzhou, not today's Nanjing, in today's Shangqiu. Shangqiu is the land of Taizu Longxing. Beijing is the daimyo of sesame oil, and today's Hebei daimyo is the daimyo of Hebei. Therefore, the names of Tokyo, Kaifeng, and Bianliang actually referred to today's Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty, and the difference is the comprehensive result of geographical and historical factors.
"Tokyo, I still know that." Lin Yiniang replied confidently.
"Tokyo, that is, it hasn't moved south yet, then the current dynasty is the Northern Song Dynasty!!" , eating hot pot and singing, suddenly came to this world, go back? How to get back? Survive? How to live!
"Sleep, I'll go to the town market early tomorrow morning to sell some firewood and exchange some rice and noodles."
"I'm going to the market tomorrow, can I come along?"
