The sky is getting brighter, the morning sun is rising, there are some shops on this village market to open the store, although now the war is chaotic, but after all, you still have to live, the farmer needs to live, the businessman also needs to live, even if the craftsman who walks the streets and alleys has to live.

However, unlike the dealers and businesses, for Nanwu, who relies on his craft to eat, this chaotic world has made him unable to find a job as a carpenter. What's more, earlier, there was still a long hair here, although not many people died, but the rich people on the set were beaten as pioneers.

However, despite this, Nan Wu, who is a bachelor, still went to Li's restaurant to eat a few fritters and drink a bowl of noodle soup according to his old habits.

"In this world, it's really worse than day by day......"

After having breakfast in the Li family's restaurant and dropping a few pennies, Nan Wu was saying that he wanted to go home, when he suddenly heard a mess on the village street like a hornet that had stabbed its nest, chickens were clucking, and dogs were barking.

"What's going on?"

In Nanwu's astonishment, he heard the neighing of horses, the sound of oil drums hitting iron pots, and the sound of iron horseshoes on the ground, and the sound of "whooshing" mixed with all kinds of sounds, which only made the street unkempt.

Li Ergui, who was still busy with the shop business before, turned off the oil pot and said with some worry.

"Isn't it going to be another soldier?"

Passing soldiers, for the people in this city, what they are most afraid of is passing soldiers, passing soldiers, passing soldiers, what kind of soldiers are passing, it is clearly a disaster!

Li Ergui didn't even ask about the oil in the pot, he didn't have to think about it to know that the oil in the pot would not be able to be saved.

"Hey. This year......"

Holding the wooden door against a stick, Satsuki hid under the gate, and looked out through the crack in the door, only to see that the streets were full of soldiers in blue clothes. Since those soldiers did not have broadswords or tasseled spears, they all carried long guns like birds.

At this time, those blue-clothed soldiers came and went in the chaos of the drying field at the mouth of the market. Some were chopping wood, some were heating the fire in a pot, some were carrying water, and some were feeding the horses with hay they didn't know where they had gotten.

Why didn't you ask for my oil?

Seeing that the soldiers stopped at the entrance of the village, Li Ergui asked in surprise.

"What kind of soldier is this?"

"Who knows, it looks like there is no braid!"

Before the words landed, there was a banging sound outside the door. Then I heard a shout outside the door:

"Fellow! Fellow! Open the door!"

Listening to the shouts outside the door, Xiao Yue's father first grabbed a handful of ashes from the hearth, wiped them on Xiao Yue's face, and then said to his daughter-in-law, Xiao Yue, and his son Xiao Suo:

"Go into the house and hide, and don't come out......"

As he spoke, he walked to the door, and by the way, he put all the chili peppers hanging on the wall in the clay pot, and then went to open the door. Outside the door were two blue-clad soldiers, one of whom looked like an official.

"Fellow, where does the townsman of your village live?"

As soon as he heard that he was asking Xiangjia, Xiaoyue's father hurriedly said:

"Fled, early, when I passed the army earlier, I ran away, and then there was no news."

This soldier is in chaos, a person runs out, if there is no news, then life and death are naturally unknown.

"Now there is no Xiangjia? The gentry in that episode, where is his home? ”

In fact, in the countryside, even the country armor is just a decoration, and the real masters are the gentry. Looking at the soldier in front of him, Xiao Yue's father immediately thought of the long hair of the pioneer when he had long hair before, and squeaked and didn't speak for a long time.

The leader was obviously in a hurry, so he reprimanded sharply:

"I ask you, where does his family live?"

After a while, Xiaoyue's father said:

"On the north side of Cross Street, there are five tiled houses facing the street."

The officer took one look at the man and said:

"You bring it to me."

Touching these soldiers, Xiao Yue and his father dared to say a word, for fear of offending them and being cut to the ground with a knife, although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only lead the way in front, and when they walked to the street, they met Nan Wu head-on.

Seeing that Xiaoyue's father was being escorted, Nan Wu, who was already a bachelor, greeted him and said:

"Master Jun, what's the matter with you?"

"Xiao, Xiaowu, he, they went to Master Ding's house!"

Xiaoyue's father said with a sad face.

"Go find Master Ding, okay, I'll take you over, Xiaoyue's father, go back!"

“……”

The officer glanced at Nan Wu, but didn't speak, just said, "Go!" "Follow Nanwu to the crossroads. On the way there, the officer said to Nan Wu as if he were joking.

"You are for the man just now, are you afraid that we will pull him into Ding?"

Just that little idea, but someone saw through it.

"Master ......"

"If you let that man go, you're not afraid that we'll pull your ding?"

"Master Jun, I, I am a carpenter, I feed the whole family and I am not hungry, but Xiaoyue's father is the backbone of the family!"

"Well, well!"

The officer explained as he looked at Nan Wu and said.

"Don't worry, we are a righteous army, neither a Qing army, nor a Taiping army, neither a Latin army, nor a vanguard!"

Rebel?

At the time of the South Five, the officer said again.

"How is it to make a living as a carpenter now?"

"It's a mess, and it's not good to do any work."

"Why don't you go south, go to Wuchang, you are a carpenter, you will definitely not worry about finding a job when you go to the place!" Besides, this road is easy to walk, go south for more than 100 miles, take a boat directly from Xiangyang, and you can get to Wuchang in a few days. ”

Nan Wu, who was talking, took them to the door of Master Ding, and when he left, as if he had given a lot of courage, Nan Wu asked again.

"Master Jun, can you really find a job over there in Wuchang?"

Wuchang can not only find carpenter work, and this work seems to be not finished, here are all opportunities to work, so that almost from the time you come to Wuchang, Nanwu has not had a day of leisure, almost every day is on the construction site to do carpenter work, compared to doing this at home, the work here is simpler, the door is just a door frame, the window is also a window frame, and finally with a foreigner's iron skein nail, it becomes a door and window.

Although the work looks simple, after a day of work, people are also tired and just want to lie down in bed for a while and get a good night's sleep. This will be fortunate that when he left Zhang Zhuangji's hometown, he came to Wuchang with a small lock, this kid worked on the construction site like him during the day, and came back this night, and knew to buy some food and come back, only one meal at noon on the construction site.

"Huh?"

Looking at the pig's head meat, beef scalp, peanuts, and a pot of wine on the table, Nan Wu looked at Xiao Suo with some surprise, this kid must have something to do today, in the past, this kid just bought some peanuts and rice to drink.

"Suo'er, tell me, what's the matter?"

He poured himself a glass of wine, and Nan Wu picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks.

"Fifth uncle, let me tell you something, I want to go to the apprentice school outside the city!"

Apprenticeship school?

If you can read hundreds of words, and then a few years younger, it is estimated that people on the construction site will go to the school, where there are not only masters who teach how to use foreigners' machines, but also learn to read, which is definitely better than carrying work on the construction site.

Because of this, he didn't make a sound to stop Wang Suo, but just let him continue.

"I heard that in that school, not only can I learn to read and write, but I can also learn to use foreigners' machines, and when I enter the factory in the future, I will have four or five taels of silver a month......

When Wang Suo looked at Nan Wu, he was a little nervous, after all, when his father asked him to come to Wuchang, he told him to follow Nan Wu and let him learn carpenter work well. And now he's leaving on his own.

"Have you thought about it?"

Nan Wu didn't raise his head, but just ate wine and meat at the same time.

"Well, Fifth Uncle, this school not only covers food and housing, but also pays 300 yuan a week, if you agree, I will go tomorrow, Fifth Uncle, what do you say?"

Talking about the benefits of the apprentice school, Wang Suo looked at Nan Wushi, he was a little unsure of his attitude, and even he thought about it, if he didn't agree, he would go to the school by himself tomorrow.

"Hmm!"

Nodding, Nan Wu said to himself.

"At the beginning, your father asked you to follow me to Wuchang, saying that he wanted you to learn carpenter, but in fact, he wanted to avoid the military disaster...... Well, that's fine, leave it in the factory, always be safe, yes, you can go tomorrow, go back and send a letter to your father,"

So saying, he poured a glass of wine for Wang Suo.

"Come on, lock, you're not too young, let's have two drinks together, and when you go to that school, then we just want to drink together, I'm afraid there won't be that chance!"

"Fifth uncle, I respect you!"

After a glass of wine, Wang Suo suddenly felt that his face was hot, he knew that if he didn't have the fifth uncle to bring him to Wuchang, I am afraid that in this life, he would be a carpenter outside the school, carrying a saw, planer or something in the Zhuangzi to carry the carpenter work, but now in Wuchang he saw a new opportunity, he wanted to work in such a factory, and wanted to be like those people in the factory, wearing straight and spiritual black overalls, thinking like them, receiving a few taels or even a dozen taels of silver a month, just like an official master, and never worrying about his livelihood for the rest of his life.

"Hey, you kid,"

Looking at Wang Suo, who was flushed after drinking, Nan Wu smiled, and then sighed.

"Better than your uncle, your uncle, your father's life, that's it, you kid can think about going to the factory, better than your uncle!" Come on, let's have another ......."

Another glass of wine went down, looking at the hairless little lock on his lips in front of him, Nan Wu was a little jealous of his youth, if it wasn't for his youth, how could he think of going to that school, people always have all kinds of livelihoods in this life, and there are such and such opportunities, but how many people will have opportunities like Xiaosuo?

"Here, lock drink one more,"

After drinking a glass, Nan Wu sighed again when he was a little drunk.

"Ah, this day has changed, and your little life has changed ......" (To be continued.) )
