Chapter 0001: The Season of Wheat Harvest
In the second year of Zhang Wu, the emperor and Wu fought in Yiling, Wu Luxun burned the company camp, and the emperor was only spared. When Fu Wei got out of trouble for the emperor, he led his troops to fight and resisted, and his subordinate soldiers were all killed in battle. He fought to the death, and then died of vomiting blood. There is a deputy general in its subordinate, named Feng Rang, Yu has a wife and a son, his son is named Yong, learned that his father died, cried bitterly for three days, love can not be forbidden, run into the mountain, people can not chase, do not know why it ends. Feng's wife lost her husband and child, so she threw herself into the river. Everyone sighed at the time.
And in February of the third year of Zhangwu, he came out of the mountains forever, and his hair was scattered, and when he spoke madly, he acted like a madman, and when people took pity on him, he reported it to him. When the emperor heard this, he was very ashamed, and said: "Those whose families are ruined and dead are all my faults." So he gave five hundred fields, three servants, two ploughing oxen, and a number of silk silks, to raise the martyrs.
In 223 A.D., the lunar calendar was the third year of Zhangwu, and it was also the first year of Jianxing.
In April, Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Ji Han Dynasty, died in Yong'an and was proclaimed Emperor Zhaolie. In the same year, the crown prince Liu Chan ascended the throne and changed the Yuan to Jianxing.
At the end of April (lunar calendar) and the beginning of May in Shuzhong, the weather gradually became hot, and it was the wheat harvest season.
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the farmland is full of farmers who bend down to harvest wheat, everyone sweats like rain, but none of them are lazy. The cuckoo cries one after another seemed to urge the farmers to finish the wheat harvest quickly, so as not to plant the rice by mistake. The half-grown boy was naked, wearing only calf pants on the lower half of his body, and ran barefoot on the ridge with wheat in his arms. Blind and can't see that the wheat is shaken off? Why don't you go and be a cow and donkey pulling a stone mill? ”
Not far from the farmland, there is a bay of river water, which flows slowly, and the willows are shady by the river, and it is a good place to escape the heat and shade under the trees. There was a man sitting there who was fishing with a fishing rod in his hand, looking leisurely from a distance. Half of the man put the wheat away, turned back, looked at the people under the shade of the tree, his eyes showed envy, and his feet involuntarily slowed down.
"What do you see? Look! The half-grown man who was envious of others was suddenly slapped on the back of the head, and a scolding sound sounded, only to see a stout woman with her left hand on her waist and her right hand holding the ear of the half-grown child, "Want to be lazy again?" Well? As he spoke, he also glanced over there, and his voice couldn't help lowering, "That's the master's house, what's the matter?" Do you want to be like the Lord's family? ”
Half of the child's face suddenly became frightened, and he shook his head again and again, despite his mother's desperate twisting of his ears.
"Then you don't go to work?" Then the woman let go of her son with satisfaction, slapped the back of her head again, and hurried to the field to continue the harvest. The woman's body was stout, and her voice was like the roar of a lion in Hedong, although she felt that she had lowered her voice, but she could not imagine that it was still the same as ordinary people speaking in the ears of others.
The fisherman under the shade of the tree, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, jumped up as if he had been stung by a wasp, and scolded: "Mother-in-law, who has suffered from the plague, which one are you talking about?" If you lack virtue in your mouth, you are not afraid that I will increase the rent of your house this year? ”
This young man has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although the clothes he wears are not luxurious, but they are not ordinary people can afford to wear, at a glance, he knows that it is from a solid family, but he didn't expect to scold people and be no different from the mountain village man.
The strong woman, who didn't dare to provoke the idle man, faced the angry young man at this time, but she looked stunned, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the master has misunderstood, I'm urging the baby to work quickly......"
"What are you asking me to do when the baby works? How? Do you want me to help you teach the baby? ”
The farmers who were harvesting wheat in the distance saw that the strong woman who had always been fierce was a rare confession, and several of them couldn't help laughing.
"You're laughing!" After the young man scolded the strong woman, he didn't seem to be happy, he crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed at those people with the other, "Don't hurry up and work, if you can't finish this today, you will eat the northwest wind for dinner!" ”
The farmer who was ordered was not afraid at all, but asked loudly: "Don't worry, the master, if you really can't finish it, you will do the work even if it is dark tonight." What if this job was done sooner? ”
"This work is going to be done early, and I'll let the mansion add one more brute to each of you." The young man waved his hand and said arrogantly.
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar and bent down to harvest the wheat.
Taking advantage of the gap between talking to everyone, the strong woman ran away, but the half-grown man was a little stunned, and when he reacted and wanted to run, he was glared at by the young man.
it! You have a plague expression on Lao Tzu's body, what does it mean to avoid Lao Tzu's expression? I can't beat your mother, and I can't beat you? Come here and see if I don't kill you!
The half-grown man looked at Feng Yong vigilantly, and cautiously made a half-way detour, and then spread his feet and ran.
Feng Yong sighed, people crossed either to become an emperor or a prince, he was good, dressed as the son of a small landlord's family, and he could barely get enough food and clothing. That's it, but when you cross over, your psychological quality may not be up to par, and others can't understand what you say, plus your behavior is with the habits of modern people, but it is regarded by others as hysteria (that is, neuropathy).
At the beginning, others didn't dare to approach him when they saw him, so he almost begged for a living, as for why it was almost, it was because he found that because of the chaos in these years, where did the average family get the surplus food for beggars? So begging is simply waiting for death, and he almost became a typical negative teaching material after crossing over.
Later, when he became familiar with all this, Liu Bei, well, it was the first emperor, and gave him another 500 acres of land, which made his life better. It's just a little better, in this era of no electricity, no mobile phones, no computers, and no entertainment, he doesn't even have a person in the room, and he can't play with the five girls every day, and the last thing left is to go out fishing and relax.
But now it is the busy time of farming, and the peasants educate their children and pull him out as a model: "If you are lazy, you will be called the same as before the master's family!" Do you know why the Lord's house is like that? It's because I'm too lazy to come out that I became like that! ”
"If you play in the water again, when the time comes, you will be drowned, you will eat mud, and you will be fished up and you will become the way the main family used to be, do you know why the main family became like that? It's because I was flooded and ate mud that I became like that! ”
……
The peasant family does not have much knowledge, and in addition to spanking and twisting ears, they usually can't say too much truth in educating their children.
At first, he panicked when he heard it, but then he got used to it, don't look at those ugly words, but he can only say it behind his back, and when it comes to him, the master's family, those tenants are still only talking, and they don't even dare to let go of a fart.
"Mother, I'm hungry." The half-grown boy hurried behind the stout woman and begged for his mother.
The woman scolded: "I'm hungry just now, and I have eaten a lot for breakfast, why didn't I die?" Although he cursed, his eyes looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he pointed to the place where the water pitcher was placed in the field, "Let's go and drink some water first, and go to rest under the tree." ”
Half of the eldest child understood, ran to the jug to look through, and sure enough, he found that his mother was covering a brute head with a cloth in the basket where the jug was placed, swallowed his saliva at the moment, secretly broke half of it, clutched it in his hand, and ran to the back of the tree on the official road in one breath, so as not to let people see it, so he opened his mouth wide and bit down.
In the days when the tenants were collecting wheat for the lord's house, it was logical that the lord's family had to pack food for the tenants, one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening, and the standard was to fill their stomachs, not to ask for much food. But the Feng family's main family seems to be different, in addition to millet rice, there is also a kind of food called barbarians, which is said to be made by the main family in imitation of the head of the barbarians, soft and delicious, and is very popular with everyone. I heard that it is still made by removing the husk of wheat and then grinding it into flour, which is a ruin!
Usually when there is a brute, no one grabs the millet rice. This brute head was secretly hidden by his mother at breakfast, half the size of the child, starving to death, this age boy is the most prone to hunger, his mother hid this brute head in order to let him have a bite to eat during the day to fill his stomach until dinner.
"Huh? There's still a kid stealing food? ”
Maybe the brute head was too dry, maybe he ate too quickly, and more likely, he was frightened, and the half-sized boy was stuck in his throat by the steamed bun all of a sudden, coughed a few times, didn't cough it out, and couldn't swallow it, and rolled his eyes at the moment, and he was about to gasp.
"Don't worry, I won't compete with you for food." The person next to him said, stretched out a water bladder and poured him a mouthful, which made him swallow the steamed bun.
Only then did the half-grown son find that there was an ox cart parked on the official road, and there was a person sitting on the cart, dressed in extraordinary clothes, holding a book, and he was fascinated by reading, and he didn't look at it this way.
