Chapter 28: The Wild Lands
Potatoes and corn are really the artifacts of crossing, compared to laptops and cameras, these are priceless, and these high-yielding new crops will be too useful in the future.
"Saburo, what are these?"
Ye Ren came back to his senses from the surprise and shock, saw the ecstasy on Ye Xipo's face, and hurriedly asked.
"These are all gifts from the white-bearded old Taoist priest."
Ye Xipo took the laser flashlight, pushed the switch, and a beam of light came out; Press the laser button, and a thin and bright green laser shoots out.
Immediately, Ye Xipo switched to a burst form, pressed the button, and a thicker and brighter laser shot out, and in only three or four seconds, it left a scorched mark on the wooden wall a few meters away.
After the demonstration, turn off the switch buttons, and then look at Ye Ren and them, the three of them were completely shocked and stupid, their eyes were straight, and they were trembling.
"Uncle, this thing is called a laser flashlight, and it is one of the wastes that the white-bearded old Taoist priest gave me.
You can see that white light can be used for lighting, green light can be used for instructions, strong green light can be used to light fires, and it can be used to call for help from a distance. Ye Xipo said with a smile.
At this time, people already believe in the gods of heaven and earth, advocating the way of immortality, and the three of Ye Ren are now suspicious of the white-bearded old Taoist priest who rode a green ox that Ye Xipo said, is the ancestor of their Ye clan - Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan, Laozi Ye Er.
As long as this makes sense, if it is not the ancestor, why do you say that you have a fate with Yi'er, and give the fairy baby, and say that you will meet Yi'er in your dreams in the future?
Ye Ren cried out impulsively, he thought that this was the heavens not giving up, the ancestors blessed, seeing that they were wronged by this, they specially appeared and ignited Yi'er!
As soon as he cried, Ye Wei and Ye Kun couldn't help crying, feeling wronged and wronged, and they felt that they saw hope, and their ancestors couldn't stand it.
Ye Xipo was also infected, his nose was sour, and after soothing him for a while, the mood of the four slowly calmed down, and Ye Xipo introduced new crops such as potatoes, corn, peanuts, and peppers to Ye Ren.
When they heard that the yield of corn per mu was at least 10 stones, and the yield of potatoes per mu was at least 40 stones, the three of them were all shocked, but they did not believe it.
What the ancestors said, can it be false?
After that, Ye Xipo told Ye Ren about earning seventeen taels of gold in twenty days, Ye Ren naturally agreed, and told Ye Xipo not to talk about it, and the immortal waste sent by the ancestor should also be properly put away.
After dinner, Ye Xipo, who was still a little weak, lay down on the couch again, thinking about all this that happened to him, and still felt a little unreal.
It's so weird, it's weird.
Because according to Ye Ren and Ye Kun, the previous Ye Xipo was actually fishing by the waterhole in front of the village, and was inexplicably sucked into the water.
This is too much of a coincidence, is it really providence?
However, it is useless to think about this, Ye Xipo remembered his current situation.
First of all, Guangzhou Sima Sun Zhuofan's blackmail against the Ye family, when he thought of this, Ye Xipo couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and some fragments of memory began to appear in his mind.
When Ye Xipo was very young before, the conditions at home were still very good, Ye Xipo was still wearing brocade clothes at that time, and the family could often eat meat.
Later, he became poorer and poorer, and the good things at home became less and less, and later, Xiao Ye Xipo realized that the money and good things in the family were taken away by these bad people from Guangzhou and Chang'an.
Ye Xipo was not convinced at first, clamoring to get back the things that were robbed, but later he became sensible and knew his family's life experience and situation, so he stopped making trouble, in addition to working harder to read and write, he also learned to fish.
Lianjiang County, Gaozhou, where Ye Xipo's family is located, is roughly located in Gaozhou City in later generations, which was also regarded as an economically prosperous area in later generations, but in the early Tang Dynasty, it was a wild land, poor and backward.
Although it is wild, but here is a dense network of water, whether it is in a small stream, or in the river pool, there are a large number of wild fish, since the eight-year-old Ye Xipo practiced a superb fishing skills, the fish on the family table has never been broken.
Therefore, although Ye Xipo's family is the poorest and poorly dressed in Peach Blossom Village, they have never been hungry, their nutrition can keep up, and the children in the family are all handsome and extraordinary.
But after all, it is a wild place, the conditions are difficult, although food and nutrition are not lacking, other conditions are poor, since Ye Xipo became sensible, eight relatives have died of illness.
None of the eight people got a serious illness, but because of the wilderness, the environment was too poor, there were too few doctors, and the transportation was inconvenient, they could not be treated if they were delayed.
What made Ye Xipo haunted the most was the death of Wulang Ye Xiang, Ye Xiang was Ye Xipo's younger brother, four years younger than Ye Xipo, every time Ye Xipo came in to fish, Ye Xiang was his little follower.
Three years ago, Ye Xipo caught a large mandarin fish weighing at least five catties on the rocky beach in the east of the village, and the two brothers were happily carrying the fish home, but near the entrance of the village, they met a steward surnamed Liao of Sima Zou Yu in Guangzhou, who had just come out of Ye Xipo's house.
The Liao steward recognized Ye Xipo, and at a glance he saw the mandarin fish in Ye Xipo's hand, so he asked Ye Xipo for it, although Ye Xipo was unwilling to give it, but Wulang Ye Yu was unwilling, and he refused to let go of the straw rope that lifted the fish.
Steward Liao was angry at once, walked over and lifted the leaf shirt, pushed him to the ground, snatched the fish and left, and scolded loudly before leaving: "Tian Shenu begs for a child, don't be ashamed!" ”
Ye Xipo still remembers the smug contempt in the eyes of this Liao steward when he spoke.
was robbed of something, and was scolded as a farming slave and called a flower child, Ye Xiang was also angry, and he fell ill when he went back, and he died in depression within two days.
Ye Xipo couldn't forget that Ye Xian held his hand before he died, and his eyes were full of grief and unwillingness to ask him: "Why?" Third brother, why do these bad guys want to rob us of our things? What exactly are our sins and why should we be banished? ”
Thinking of this, Ye Xipo couldn't help but burst into tears, his brain suddenly had a splitting headache, and there seemed to be another person's voice shouting in the depths of his soul.
"Leave it all to me, I have more than a thousand years of knowledge and wisdom crystallization than you, I will definitely take the Ye family out of the predicament, let them live a good life, and protect their safety!"
Feeling the existence of another will, Ye Xipo, who was lying on the couch, clenched his fists and said to the wisp of remnant soul who still refused to leave: "Don't worry, you will be me in the future, I will be you, and I will never let myself and the Ye family be bullied again." ”
It seems that he feels that this Ye Xipo's fierce will is now that the wisp of remnant soul has finally gradually weakened, and finally, the two souls have been successfully blended together.
