Before I knew it, three days had passed in the village.

In fact, these three days are fleeting for a real mountain man.

But for Shi Wuwei, who has just arrived, it is slow and painful.

Although the days in the village are very peaceful, his heart is very chaotic.

People suffer because they are dissatisfied with the status quo, but they are powerless to change it.

And he is exactly like that.

He wants to be part of these people's lives and get their approval.

But that's easier said than done.

He knew that every day, every moment, there would be countless pairs of eyes, watching his every move.

Whether he's sleeping, eating, chopping wood, going to the toilet, whatever he does, someone is watching him.

He clearly knew that for an outsider like him, all this kind of surveillance was necessary.

But he didn't know when such a life of prying eyes would end.

Not only that, but there was one more thing that pained him the most.

That is, he wants to meet his sister.

In fact, such an act, or action, in the past few years, was actually a very simple thing.

If he was in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, he only needed to push open the door, and his junior sister would appear in his sight.

Either cooking in the kitchen or sewing and weaving under the eaves.

If he was in the inn, he only had to open the door, knock on the door next door, and the junior sister would come out to meet him.

If he was resting in the forest, he only needed to open his eyes and lower his head, and he could see his sister resting on his shoulder.

But now, the junior sister is obviously on the low mountain, but he can't meet her.

He tried to go up the mountain.

But as soon as he did, the people who were watching him around would appear and ask him what he wanted to do.

He said that he wanted to meet the saint, and he also said that he was the princess's senior brother and wanted to go up the mountain to visit his sister. He said all kinds of reasons, but those people always used one reason not to let him go up the mountain.

The saint and the princess, how can he see each other?

He remembered that another woodcutter had told him not to think that he was the princess's brother, and that he could go up the hill at will.

Here he is nothing.

Truly.

There are many civil ministers and military generals here, and there are many princes and ministers.

But as for him, apart from his cultivation, he is indeed nothing.

He gradually discovered that in fact, this small village actually had all the ranks in the imperial court.

And he is only the lowest level of these people.

………

In the early morning, the sun shines on the mountains.

Dressed in peasant clothes, he was carrying a hoe, led by an unknown farmer, to the fields east of the low mountain.

The thick scorching sun shone on his body, but it could not dissipate the haze in his heart.

The farmer turned around and said, "Do you know how to farm?" ”。

Shi Wuwei frowned, shook his head, and did not speak.

The farmer picked up his hoe and lifted it towards the dirt below.

Suddenly, a small hole was opened in the brown soil.

The farmer casually threw a vegetable seedling in his hand into the soil pit, and sealed the soil hole, leaving only a small branch of twigs.

After that, he raised his head and said coldly.

"Just do it. When you finish putting the seedlings, you can go to the old king at the foot of the mountain to pick up some dung and water it! ”。

After saying this, the farmer didn't care whether he understood it or not, and walked towards the foot of the mountain without looking back.

Shi Wuwei stood in the field in a daze for a long time.

It wasn't until a long time later that he lowered his head and spread out his hands.

He saw the seedlings in his hands and the ground under his feet.

He knew he had to do what he was told.

He just didn't get used to it.

……………………………….

In fact, the rough work of this kind of dish is not difficult.

It is nothing more than ploughing the ground first, then putting seedlings, and finally sealing the land.

And he has also planted more than ten pearl seedlings horizontally.

But just as he was about to lift the soil under his feet again and put in the seedlings, he saw that at the end of the field, that is, outside the forest he had passed through, there were three young men who looked like scholars, who were about to walk through the field towards the low mountain behind.

The scholar approached, and he could see the expressions on the faces of the three men.

With a sad face, looking around, it seems that there is a lot of confusion about the three of them coming to such a place.

They, perhaps, are lost.

Shi Wuwei put down the hoe in his hand, and had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

He could see that the three people were not from this place, and he could also see that the other party had lost his way and came here.

However, after all, the emperor is still on the low mountain, if these people are allowed to go up the mountain aimlessly and see the emperor, wouldn't this be a big deal?

However, just when he was panicking, a familiar figure met the three people.

The figure was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a firewood knife at his waist and a bundle of firewood on his back.

He saw that this person's eyes were full of kindness. When he saw this person's face, there was still a smile on his face when he first met him.

He knew very well that when he first met the other party, he also regarded the other party as an honest man with a kind face.

While thinking about it, the woodcutter Lao Li was already smiling and opened his mouth to the three scholars.

"I think the three of them are a little face-to-face, are they lost?".

One of the scholars saw that the woodcutter was honest, so he stepped forward and said with a smile.

"This old man! The three of my classmates wanted to enter Beijing to take the exam, but they got lost halfway. I wonder if my brother can tell me which direction to go to the capital? ”。

The woodcutter Lao Li smiled and said, "Over the years, you are not the first person to get lost."

He stretched out his hand again, pointed to the woods where a few people had come, and said.

"Walk straight up ten miles in the forest, and then walk forty miles south to enter Fengyang Village. And when you are looking for someone to ask, it is not far from the capital."

After speaking, the three scholars thanked them with great joy.

And the woodcutter is still smiling, while saying what should be, what should be, Yunyun.

After that, the three scholars said that they would walk towards the woods from which they came.

In fact, Shi Wuwei did not have doubts about the path pointed out by the woodcutter Lao Li.

Because it is indeed the fastest way to Nanjing.

It's just that he has always had a question in his heart.

That is the village where the emperor settled, in fact, the capital is very close, very close.

He didn't understand why the emperor, or these people, chose to live under the nose of the thief. Instead of choosing to be in the mountains and rivers of Bashu, Andu.

After all, there, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it is indeed much safer to come.

What made him even more puzzled was that the emperor settled in this village, but why the swallow thieves never found such a place.

You must know that the place close to the capital is also the most powerful place under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

So he didn't understand why such a large number of people appeared in such a place, and the imperial court would not be aware of it.

The imperial court had a household department and governed the population.

And this place is close to the Beijing Division, and it stands to reason that there should be officials from the household department or the jurisdiction who come here to check.

But how did these people hide from the people or officials of the household department?

"Could it be that there are still people from the emperor in the household department?"

He could only come up with such a conclusion.

In fact, he wanted to ask the people here to solve this puzzle.

But after the lessons of the previous days, he found that there were some things that he didn't need to ask more.

Because if he asks, no one will tell him.

Therefore, he can only continue to live with doubts in his head.
