Chapter 1: The Nine Years of Yonghe
The weather in May is not too hot, especially in the midst of such lush mountains and forests, and the cool breeze blowing from time to time makes people feel cool.
"It's been a month, it's been a month since I came to this world, and I still feel like a dream!" In the tender green grass, Li Xin lay there quietly, seemingly staring at the front motionless, but in fact, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
It can't be said that luck or misfortune, in short, he crossed over. He, a young man in the 21st century, came to the ninth year of Yonghe, that is, in 353 AD, when the world was in turmoil and the Eastern Jin Dynasty had just been established.
Li Xin is a college student who is about to graduate, taking advantage of the Qingming holiday, to go to Huashan to play, as a result, when crossing the plank road, I don't know how to do it, without warning, actually fell from the plank road. originally thought it was a certain death, but who would have thought that in the end, not only did he not die, but inexplicably traveled to this Huashan Mountain nearly 1,700 years ago.
"Hey, the prey has fallen into the trap, let's go over and have a look. Li Lang, why are you stunned! Let's go, let's go and see! Just as Li Xin was pondering, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and then a loud voice sounded.
"Oh!" Li Xin came back to his senses, quickly got up, and followed the man towards the trap not far away.
At this time, I found that in this mountain forest, in addition to Li Xin, there were several people. The person who called him just now was called Zhou Tong, a young man with a height of six feet, and according to the height of later generations, he was at least one meter eight tall. Such a height is considered tall in later generations, let alone this era, it is not too eye-catching, Li Xin stood in front of him, and he was still half a head shorter.
Don't look at him as tall, but he is not that kind of muscular man, although he has a stubble like a fierce fly, he is actually only twenty-two years old. Li Xin crossed over and fell into the deep mountains and old forests of Huashan, but fortunately met Zhou Tong, who went into the mountains to hunt, and brought him out. Otherwise, I am afraid that he would have become the belly of the beasts of the mountains.
After coming out of the mountains, Zhou Tong saw that he was alone, and he didn't know anything, so he took him back to his home. In the past month, Li Xin has lived with him, and after a month of getting along, he is quite familiar.
"Good luck, I actually hit a deer, go, get it out, it's not early, it's time for us to go back!" When they came to the trap, they looked into the pit and saw a deer of considerable size struggling in it. With an excited smile on his face, Zhou Tong waved to a few people beside him.
Soon, a group of six people carried the deer back. After walking up and down the mountain for a long time, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a village appeared in front of me.
Among the green trees, there are a number of wooden houses and thatched houses, which at first glance seem to be not much, but when you look closely, you will find that they are actually quite widely distributed. Many figures came and went in and out of it, and smoke was already rising between the mountains and forests. This is the mountain village where Li Xin has lived for more than a month, a real mountain village.
"Zhou Lang is back, and he hit a deer today! That's a good job! As soon as I walked to the entrance of the village, I met the villagers, and after seeing Li Xin and them, they greeted them warmly.
"Second Uncle Wang is back, I'll have someone send you some venison later!" Zhou Tong responded with a smile.
There are a lot of people coming and going in the village, and along the way, they are all greeting each other. These are all neighbors who have lived together for several years or even longer, and they are used to getting along day and night. However, for the people in this mountain village, it is not just a simple relationship as a neighbor.
Zhou Tong is a homeless person, the so-called homeless people, are the people who have no choice but to leave their homes and wander around because of various natural and man-made disasters. Generally speaking, when there are displaced people in the world, then there must be a serious problem in this society. Of course, there will be displaced people during the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, and Li Xin is not surprised at all.
The world has been turbulent for a long time, not only in the northern Central Plains, but also in the Jiangzuo land, known as Chengping, from time to time various uprisings will break out, and the displaced people are not uncommon. Some of the homeless people wandered around, as usual, looking for a place to eat. And there are some displaced people who slowly stop and settle in some places, and the villagers in this mountain village are like this.
Li Xin is a person, to say that he may not be a little unsociable in the eyes of his classmates on weekdays, after all, he doesn't seem to like many things that young people like, and when he has time, he stays quietly in the dormitory and reads more.
But it is precisely because of this that he can be regarded as having some understanding of this era, and this is why he deduced the historical time he lived in through the statements of the villagers not long after he arrived. It's impossible to go back, so I have to stay honestly.
Fortunately, this mountain village is not as good as the outside after all, and in such an era of war and chaos, this is a rare place of peace in the world.
After entering the village, Zhou Tong took matters into his own hands, peeled and washed the deer, and then selected the best piece from above, weighing ten catties, and handed it over to Li Xin's hands, saying, "You send it home first!" Give it to my sister to clean up, and we'll eat this in the evening! ”
Li Xin nodded, took the venison and went back first. Zhou Tong's approach, he is no longer surprised, because every time he takes someone out to hunt, after coming back, except for a part left for himself, the rest is distributed to other villagers. Not only him, but even the other villagers go out to hunt, as long as the harvest is okay, it is basically the same way.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the villagers in this village have a strong cohesion.
"Hey, isn't this Li Lang? How? Zhou Tong, that guy hit a deer today? Li Xin was walking towards Zhou Tong's house, and just after walking far, a broken gong sounded not far away. Then, a figure more burly than Zhou Tong appeared in front of him.
"Yes! No, I'm sharing it with everyone, so you can try it in the evening! Seeing the big man in front of him, Li Xin smiled.
The person in front of him is called Li Erhei, who is about the same height as Zhou Tong, but he looks more intimidating, coupled with the full beard and loud voice, he is a bully image, when Li Xin first saw him, he was startled by him. However, as he got acquainted with it, he realized that this was a disgusting and kind guy.
"Hey, what is a deer, I'll go and fight a big worm myself tomorrow and come back, so that you can fight the tooth sacrifice!" Hearing this, Li Erhei said disdainfully.
Seeing his appearance, Li Xin couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Li Erhei is not a bad person, but there is a problem, that is, he likes to pass with Zhou, who is two years younger than him. Maybe it's because both of them are the best of the younger generation in the village! That's why I often don't show signs of fighting, fighting or something. However, this is a healthy competition, and the two can be regarded as sympathetic to each other.
"You, go back and rest! It's been a busy day! With a wave of his hand, Li Xin drove this guy home.
"I'll go back, by the way, I'll look for you at night, the story that I didn't finish yesterday, you can continue to tell it, so Han Xin didn't win the battle?" Li Erhei turned around and left, but just after taking two steps, he turned around and shouted at him.
"Got it, come over early after dinner, and I'll tell you the story of the last battle today!" Li Xin shook his head, replied, and walked to the wooden house under the big tree not far away without looking back.
One of the key reasons why Li Xin gets along well with these young people in the village is that he can tell stories. It's a story, but it's actually just the history he knows, and this knowledge may be very boring for many people, but it's really interesting for these people who have no entertainment at all in the mountains when the sun rises and sets, and the sun sets.
Especially these young people, they are especially interested in these stories of military battles and the like. Especially a dynasty like the Han Dynasty, which was not too long away from them, was even more vivid for them.
There are three people in Zhou Tong's family, his father is called Zhou Fang, and there is a younger sister named Zhou Ting, who is only two years younger than him. Now with him Li Xin, there are four people in total, and the life of the family is controlled by Zhou Ting.
"Li Lang is back? How's the harvest today? As soon as she walked to the door of the house, Zhou Ting, who was dressed in blue cloth, happened to come out of the house with a dustpan, and after seeing him, she asked.
"It's not that you don't know your brother's ability, he hit a deer today, no, he asked me to get a piece back first, so that you can clean up and eat it at night!" Li Xin raised the venison in his hand and gestured.
"Okay, you go back to the house and rest first! I'll call you again when the meal is ready! Zhou Ting nodded, put down the dustpan, took the venison and walked to the kitchen on the side, and got busy.
Seeing this slender back busy in the kitchen, Li Xin was a little moved for some reason. In fact, the Zhou family originally had five people, and Zhou Tong also had an elder brother, but unfortunately he died at the hands of the Qin people a few years ago, and because of the death of his eldest son, a year later, his mother also died due to excessive grief. And since then, the entire Zhou family has been pressed on Zhou Ting's shoulders.
Fortunately, the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, especially in ancient times, don't look at Zhou Ting as if she is very weak, and she can't be compared with Zhou Tong, but in fact, she is a very smart girl. This point is recognized by everyone in the village, just look at how well she has cleaned up the entire Zhou family over the years.
