As night fell, the temperature was already a little chilly.

The sky is full of stars, and a crescent moon hangs obliquely on the mountains, exuding a faint green glow.

Frogs in the mountains and wild are constantly chirping, and insects are singing.

Occasionally, night birds fluttered by, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard in the distance.

Heaven and earth were silent.

Chen Xu looked up at the moon in the sky, thinking that two thousand years later, he may have been burned to ashes, his parents are in pain, and his relatives and friends may be attending his memorial service.

Maybe from now on, I will be in this era and depend on the mother and daughter in front of me.

"Little sister, shall I give you a name?"

"Okay, okay!" The little girl sat up excitedly, her eyes shining with joy in the faint night.

Jiang Chen's face also showed inexplicable surprise.

"It's called Apricot!" Chen Xu turned his head to look at the apricot trees in the courtyard and said.

"Thank you, brother, I will have a name in the future!" The little girl threw herself into Chen Xu's arms and hugged his neck affectionately.

The night is as cool as water, and a crescent moon slowly rises into the air.

Chen Jiang had already carried Xing'er into the room to sleep.

In the faint light of fire and moonlight, Chen Xu sat on a stone in the center of the courtyard, polishing the bronze dagger on the gravel.

It is the only piece of metal in the house other than two hoes.

There wasn't much damage other than the lack of a handle, but it had not been used for a long time, and the edge had been wrapped in patina and turned into a blunt weapon.

The Shang and Zhou dynasties were the most glorious era for the development of Chinese bronzes, and a large number of exquisite bronzes unearthed in later generations reflect the extraordinary craftsmanship of the ancient Chinese people in the manufacture of bronze alloys.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, iron tools have begun to appear, but most of them are cast iron, there are too many impurities, the nature is very brittle, and basically cannot be used to make weapons, so even in the Qin Dynasty, bronze blades are still the mainstream, most of the soldiers in the army wear bronze weapons, and most of the weapons used by the people are still made of bronze.

As for the fact that Qin Shi Huang collected the world's weapons and cast nine bronze figures after the unification of the six countries in history, all the weapons collected were the weapons of the armies of the six countries, and the management of civilian weapons was not strict.

You must know that in this era, wild beasts are rampant, hunting is still an important method and means for many people to maintain survival and self-protection, and Qin Shi Huang cannot let several families share a kitchen knife like the Yuan Dynasty in later generations.

What's more, the Qin people are generally fierce and martial, and they are proud of their military exploits, and even the capital Xianyang City does not prohibit ordinary people from carrying weapons, so they can't control the weapons in the countryside.

The sound of ho is unusually clear in the silent night.

As Chen Xu continued to polish, the patina was worn off to reveal the beautiful color of blue and gold inside, and the edge of the blade began to become sharp, flashing with a faint golden light in the moonlight.

After many years, the bronze dagger was once again revealed to its true form.

Holding this brand-new dagger, Chen Xu looked at the crumbling thatched house in front of him and began to make a short- and medium-term plan for the future.

At the moment, he urgently needs to solve two problems, one is to eat, and the other is accommodation.

Through a few hours of observation during the day, the problem of eating is not too big for the time being, although there is no food at home, but there are many fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish in the river, frogs and snakes are everywhere, with his experience of living in the countryside when he was a child, plus the nearby mountains and forests are full of bamboo, casually make some simple fishing tools to fill the stomach is basically not a problem, if you want to eat a little better, there are rabbits and turtles and other small animals in the mountains and forests, but there are no tools that are not easy to get for the time being, especially rabbits, if you have to use a steel wire, But at the moment, even hemp rope is scarce.

The second is accommodation, the thatched hut in front of me may collapse at any time, and there are several big holes in the roof, if it is not repaired in time, maybe one day there will be a rain and a strong wind, and the family will be buried inside.

And to repair the house in front of you, you have to cut down at least a dozen thigh-thick trees, and this half-foot-long bronze dagger in your hand alone is definitely not enough, and you must also have tools such as axes and saws.

In addition to these two urgent problems that need to be solved, there are more long-term plans, to live well, there must be all kinds of necessities, toothbrushes and towels not to mention for the time being, at least clothes and quilts must be it, and then there must be cattle to cultivate the land, but also to raise pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs, go out and ride horses, and marry a wife who is like two or three flowers......

Entering the room and lying on the tattered bed, looking at the stars in the sky through the big hole in the roof, Chen Xu thought about it and slowly tilted his head and fell asleep

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Chen Xu put on tattered clothes and went to the back of the courtyard to soak in urine, and then wrapped the handle of the bronze dagger with a piece of tattered linen cloth and went out.

Take things as they come.

After most of the night's ideological struggle, Chen Xu roughly figured it out.

Thousands of years later, his parents, elders, siblings, relatives and friends are like clouds, and they are slowly dissipating in the entanglement of reality and dreams, and since he has traveled to this bizarre time and place, he must look to the present and look to the future, and all memories will only bring him pain and uneasiness.

Moreover, in that era more than 2,000 years later, he lived for twenty-five years, and it seems that there is nothing to be commended and proud of.

Except for the nurturing grace of his parents, his life is almost no different from a salted fish.

There is a mist in the mountains and mist flowing in the mountains.

A faint red glow has emerged on the pale horizon.

Chen Xu stepped on the mist in the morning light, walked to the river after more than ten minutes, and found the place where the fish basket was placed yesterday.

Looking at the green vine that was still tied to the small tree, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, then untied the green vine and slowly pulled the fish basket up from the river.

Perhaps because of the entanglement of the aquatic plants, it feels very heavy in the hand, and the thin green vines are stretched straight and constantly swaying slightly.

Chen Xu didn't dare to push too hard, for fear that if he suddenly broke the green vine, the gain would outweigh the loss.

Under the slow pulling, a few minutes later, the fish basket was still dragged to the river bank and slowly exposed the water, at this time Chen Xu obviously felt that the fish basket was constantly shaking, and there seemed to be a lot of things in it, so he didn't dare to be careless, and his movements were a little slower, because there were more aquatic plants by the river, and after losing the buoyancy of the water, the fish basket seemed heavier.

The fish basket was finally dragged to the shore without danger, and when Chen Xu reached out and grabbed the fish basket, he finally couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, just a few minutes, the sweat on his forehead had already flowed out, and his hands and feet were a little trembling.

The fish basket was lifted ashore, accompanied by a large amount of water flowing out, the whole fish basket continued to shake violently, and when he excitedly ripped open the thin vine and lifted the lid, he couldn't help but bulge out of his eyes.

I saw that half of the fish basket was full of large and small fish, and there were loaches and yellow eels and crabs among them, and he couldn't help but reach out and dig it out, and even saw a fist-sized Wang Ba.

Nima has made a fortune, this half basket of fish is more than ten catties, plus some wild vegetables and other things, enough for the family for a week!

Chen Xu was so excited that after washing his face and rinsing his mouth with the river water by the river, he picked a few mint leaves by the river, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and spit them out, and went home with a cool mouth.
