Chapter 7: Thinking about the Future
Chen Xian pretended not to see the Lu family's lady's defense, and just looked at the dancing flames in a daze.
I didn't feel anything during the busy day, but now that I was quiet, my chaotic thoughts came to Chen Xian's heart again.
Chen Xian's parents have an eldest brother who is filial, and he is not married, and he is alone, so even if he crosses, there is nothing to worry about.
As a person who loves history, he is always more receptive to this kind of thing than ordinary people, and after getting through the initial panic, Chen Xian slowly accepted the reality.
What makes him resentful the most is why he is so unlucky and travels to this unlucky era.
In the novel, the traverser can often easily make achievements and even save the nation, but Chen Xian now only hopes that he can survive in the gap between the terrifying Mongolian iron horseman's iron hooves......
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xian shook his head, tried hard to eliminate distractions, and began to think about how to survive in this era.
The first thing he thought about was, what can he do in this era?
Chen Xian is a mechanical engineer, this profession is estimated to be useless in this era, there is no equipment, and his mechanical knowledge is useless.
He knows some gun skills, but he has no actual combat experience at all, if his gun skills are just performances, it is estimated that he can bluff some people, but if he really fights with his hands, he may be better than ordinary people.
People who practice guns, without a lot of training, close to actual combat, a body of basic skills can not be played at all, the biggest problem in the modern traditional martial arts world is here, there is no a large number of close to the actual combat confrontation training, the so-called martial arts is to embroider the legs.
Be a hunter? He has a big black eagle in his hand, and he can also use a bow and arrow, although he has not undergone professional training, but he has practiced very carefully according to the information and videos on the Internet, the accurate head is quite good, and the bow hunting experience is also very rich.
But what's the point of being a hunter? If he really became a hunter, he would never want to go out of the mountains in his life, let alone find a way to go to the territory of the Southern Song Kingdom.
After thinking about it, Chen Xian found that the only skill he had in this era was "iron-striking skills".
One of the gimmicks of Chen Xian's theme farmhouse is DIY restoration of ancient cold weapons, as a boss and enthusiast, he himself is a good hand at DIY restoration of cold weapons.
Chen Xian once restored the Japanese samurai sword by hand, and the quality of the finished product is quite good.
As an engineer and a cold weapon enthusiast who has been on the forums of the various post bars, he knows a lot of ways to get good quality steel in raw conditions.
If there is a blacksmith shop, he is seventy or eighty percent sure that he can restore the Japanese katana that is still unknown in this era and get the copyright of the Japanese katana!
The Japanese katana is famous all over the world, and historically, the forging techniques of the Song Dynasty do not seem to be outstanding.
Now coincides with the end of the dynasty, social turmoil, and the power of the warriors, and it is the time when the value of the divine weapon rises......
After such an analysis, Chen Xian felt that if he could really restore the Japanese katana, at least in this era, he would not have to worry about eating and drinking, and even if it fell into the hands of the Mongols that day, he would be able to save his life if he had the identity of a craftsman......
Thinking about it like this, Chen Xian made up his mind, and when he arrived in Zhuangzi in Yiyuan East, if the conditions permitted, he would find a way to open a blacksmith shop.
……
With a direction, Chen Xian began to fabricate his origin along this line of thought, for this, he is not too embarrassed, people in this era, rarely live a hundred miles away from home, not to mention the current social turmoil, the cost of going far away is greater.
Therefore, he only needs to make up his place of origin farther away, and he will almost have no proof of death, such as the middle capital of the Jin people......
Just thinking about it like this, the night gradually deepened, and the gradually dimming bonfire woke up the contemplative Chen Xian, and when he looked up, the lady of the Lu family on the opposite side finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep on the branches and weeds.
Looking at the sleeping lady of the Lu family, Chen Xian couldn't help but smile, this woman should not look more than twenty-three or four years old, but she has a six-year-old and an eight-year-old biological son.
Looking carefully at the face of the lady of the Lu family, Chen Xian had to admit that this was a very beautiful woman, and it was no wonder that the head of the Wang sect was not too useful in that situation, he seemed to want to dominate this woman for a long time.
Staring at the delicate and beautiful face of the Lu family lady with interest, Chen Xian seemed to remember something, and set his eyes on one of the feet of the Lu family lady who was accidentally exposed outside the skirt, although this foot is not big, but compared to her petite figure, it is in line with the proportions.
Chen Xian thought to himself, it seems that in this era, the practice of binding small feet should not have spread from the Southern Song Dynasty to the territory of the Jin Kingdom, which undoubtedly made Chen Xian breathe a sigh of relief.
If there is anything in ancient China that Chen Xian hates, it is that the foot binding can definitely be ranked in the top three.
Although the beauty is current, Chen Xian is actually not in much mood to appreciate it, he glanced at it a few times, then withdrew his gaze, filled the bonfire with some wood, made the fire head prosperous, retracted it back into the herringbone house, put the short gun across his knees, and dozed off with the big black eagle crossbow......
Spending the night in the wild, guarding against wild beast infestation, the most important thing is the bonfire, this night Chen Xian slept very unsteadily, and he would wake up once after a while to see the bonfire.
The long night finally passed, the sky gradually brightened, Chen Xian came to the stream, washed his face, and the cold stream swept away the sleepiness.
After washing his face, he walked to the fishing trap he had dug yesterday, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed at this sight.
Perhaps because there are few people in this mountain stream to fish, the harvest of the trap is unexpectedly good, there are three or five large fish more than ten centimeters long in each trap, and I am afraid that there is more than a pound of fish in the calculation.
Chen Xian grabbed the fish one by one, opened their intestines, washed them and wore them on the branches.
When he returned to the camp with a handful of dressed fish, the Lu family, mother and son had already woken up.
The three of them grilled the fish, ate a beautiful meal, extinguished the bonfire, and continued on the road.
The mountain from Linqu to Yiyuan is not high, nor is it dangerous, but it is very fine, ups and downs, the mountain road is tortuous, it is very difficult to walk, because there are two children, and the four of them only walk more than ten kilometers a day, and it is not until noon on the fourth day that they finally enter the Yiyuan Plain
In the past four days, Chen Xian has had to collect food for the four of them and keep a careful vigil, which has been very hard, and now that he has finally arrived at his destination, he is also greatly relieved.
Entering the Yiyuan Plain, the four of them first walked seven or eight miles through the flat forest, and finally walked out of the woods, and a large area of farmland appeared in front of them.
In the middle of this large area of farmland there is a moissin similar to Lujiazhuang, but it seems to be larger in scale and has a higher earthen wall.
Seeing this earth enclosure, the lady of the Lu family, who had always been calm, suddenly became excited, and her feet couldn't help but speed up, and the two children she pulled kept stumbling, and she herself almost fell down several times.
The four of them were in a hurry, so that the busy farmers in the fields on both sides of the path looked at them curiously.
Traveling all the way, the four of them came to the gate on the north side of the earthen enclosure in the middle of the farmland.
Getting closer, Chen Xian found that the scale of this earthen enclosure was much larger than that of Lujiazhuang.
The side length of Lujiazhuang's earthen enclosure is only more than 300 meters, and the side length of this earthen enclosure is more than twice as long as that of Lujiazhuang.
And the height of the city wall of this earth enclosure is also much higher than that of Lujiazhuang, the height of the earthen enclosure of Lujiazhuang is only about four meters, and the height of the earthen enclosure in front of you is more than five meters.
Compared to the tall earthen walls, the gate in front of you is a little narrow.
A few guards at the gate of the city who were clinging to simple spears blocked Chen Xian and his party with their guns, and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The lady of the Lu family also ignored these guards, she looked at a bearded man not far behind the guards and shouted: "Guoliang, you can recognize me, I am the eldest mother!" ”
This bearded man named Guoliang, wearing a simple iron armor, was sitting on a bench on the side of the road inside the city gate at this time, basking in the sun, hearing the shouting of the lady of the Lu family, he seemed to be a little surprised, stood up and looked carefully here, after a while, he threw away the sheathed hand knife in his arms, rushed over, pushed away the guards who were blocking the way, and stammered to the lady of the Lu family and asked: "It's really the eldest lady......, why did you come back?" ”
This bearded man surnamed Yang, a distant relative of the Yang family, is also a small leader in the Yang family.
Seeing the familiar family, the lady of the Lu family couldn't hold back her sadness anymore, and immediately cried, crying and saying: "Lujiazhuang was attacked by thieves, and now only our orphans and widows are left......
When Yang Guoliang heard this, he hurriedly instructed a guard: "Quick, go and inform the grandfather, the eldest lady of Lujiazhuang is back, something has happened to Lujiazhuang......
Seeing the guards running towards the village, Yang Guoliang turned his head and said to the lady of the Lu family: "Don't cry, big lady, come with me, the grandfather will make the decision for you." ”
After that, he ordered the remaining guards to watch carefully, and then walked towards the village with the Yang family lady.
Chen Xian didn't say a word, followed behind a few people, and he looked around as he walked.
To Chen Xian's surprise, after entering the city gate, there were large areas of farmland and vegetable fields on both sides of the road, except for the sparse thatched houses.
The road under their feet is a dirt road with potholes, this kind of dirt road Chen Xian often walked in the countryside when he was a child, when it rains, it is muddy, if it rains, the road becomes a muddy pond, and it is impossible to walk at all.
They walked along the dirt road towards the village for nearly 100 meters before they came to the street with dense houses.
Compared with Lujiazhuang, this Zhuangzi seems to be more affluent, and there are many tiled houses on both sides of the street.
The crowd walked along the street for nearly 200 meters and came to the gate of a large compound, which was larger in scale than the brick compound in Lujiazhuang, and around the courtyard was not a wall, but a blue brick city wall, on which not only were soldiers in iron armor patrolling, but also a high watchtower at the corner of the courtyard.
