Chapter 1 I have come from afar
"Our station received news that this morning, a collapse accident occurred on Metro Line 3 under construction in the city, and the accident has caused many serious injuries and one missing, and the cause of the accident is under further investigation......
The old lady's family in Xiaowangzhuang, Licheng County, has a happy event today, and the old lady has a new grandson. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This old lady Wang is a well-known figure in the county, and he was an official in the Northern Qi Dynasty when he was young. Later, in order to avoid the disaster of war, the family moved to Licheng County, purchased 100 acres of fertile land in Xiaowangzhuang outside the county, and settled here.
The old lady originally had two sons, the eldest son died on the battlefield soon after he was newly married when Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo for the first time, and the second son also unfortunately died of lung disease in the same year. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, and the two sons did not leave an heir, so some neighbors persuaded him to pass on an heir, one is to send the two old people to the end of the old, and the other is a hundred years later, there are also people who offer incense in front of the spirit. But the old lady was originally from a scholarly family, the son of an ordinary mountain village husband, and he really didn't look down on it; Coupled with years of war, there was not one in the five Dingkou at the end of the Sui Dynasty, especially the young and middle-aged men, and they had to go to the territory under the order of the government. The old lady didn't want to repeat the mistake of losing her beloved son, so the matter was put on hold.
I didn't think that after many years, the old lady finally recognized a godfather. I just don't know where this old lady Wang's newly acquired godgrandson comes from? Later, the villagers inquired and found out that this person's name was very strange, his surname was Wang's name Mai, and it was said that he was a distant relative of the old lady Wang, and he came to the village to join the old lady a month ago.
"Grandfather, please have tea." After Wang Mai knelt three times and bowed nine times, he gave tea again, and this ceremony of recognizing relatives was completed.
"Wheat," the old lady Wang put down the teacup and said, "My Wang family is diligent and thrifty, cultivating and reading heirlooms, and now the family is in the middle of the road, but never forget the roots, do you remember?" ”
"Got it."
"Good. Your father said: Cunde, can you remember? ”
"Got it."
"Old man, Wheat's foot injury hasn't healed yet, and you've been kneeling for so long, so don't chew on words here." Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her grandson, and couldn't bear to let him kneel for too long, so she interjected on the side.
"A loving mother has many defeated children." Although the old lady Wang said this, it was not the ordinary sour and rotten Confucian, and he was a little afraid of guilt, so he followed the old lady's words, "Licheng." ”
"Wheat, get up." Mrs. Wang hurriedly helped Wang Mai, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
"Grandmother, I'm out of the way, and now my foot injury is almost healed." Wang Mai stood up and comforted the old lady.
"Wheat, since you have entered my king's family, you can't do without words, and today I will take the word for you: continue to open, take the meaning of continuing the past and opening up the future." Mrs. Wang stroked her gray beard and said.
"Thank you grandfather for the name."
"Today's gift was supposed to be a banquet for guests, but the old man has been trapped for many years and is shy in his pocket. Take this basket of eggs and distribute them to your neighbors, as a courtesy. ”
"Yes, grandfather."
It has been a month since Wang Mai came to this world, and a collapse accident actually sent him to the end of the Sui Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. When Mrs. Wang found him, Wang Mai was sitting on the pile of grain in the grain field of Mrs. Wang's house with his injured left foot covered. The old lady Wang, who was familiar with medical skills, helped him home to heal his wounds, and when he heard that he said that he was from more than a thousand years later, he stroked his chest and laughed, only thinking that he was talking nonsense and did not care. After getting along day and night, Mrs. Wang found that this Wang Mai was very smart, although he behaved strangely, many things were often bypassed. Although I don't know his origin, but now years of war, the people are displaced, and the people are everywhere, looking at this person with a pure temperament, not like a villain, and there is no successor to him, so he intends to accept him as a godgrandson, and he says that this person is his distant relative.
The ups and downs of life are so exciting. Wang Mai is 24 years old, two years out of college, and was originally the technical person in charge of the construction site. On that day, someone below reported that there was a problem with the construction and asked him to come and check. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the scene, the sky collapsed, and his body fell rapidly, just when he thought he was going to die in Huangquan, there was a sudden light in front of him, which stimulated him to open his eyes. When he came to his senses, he found that he was not dead, but had suffered a minor injury to his left foot. After being able to walk on his feet, he returned to the grain floor countless times, praying that God would hear his prayers and bring him back to the 21st century, but it seemed that his misfortune was only a sneeze from the sleep of God, and now that God had fallen asleep again, no matter how much he shouted, no god would pay attention to him.
The Sui Dynasty, for him, a science student, only existed in romance novels. Heaven rescued him from danger, but abandoned him in a completely unfamiliar environment, and the two did not owe each other. In any case, life has to go on, after all, life is still there. To the original world, he was dead, but to himself, he was alive.
Old lady Wang is a good person, knowing that his origin is unknown, he still did not hesitate to save him, although Wang Mai did not hide his origin in the slightest, but such an explanation is still too pale. Mrs. Wang later wanted to accept him as a godgrandson, and he agreed without hesitation, after all, for an extremely lonely person, home is a warm harbor, which can heal torn wounds and soothe wounded hearts. Distant relatives, parents and brothers, farewell.
There are only dozens of families in Xiaowangzhuang, 100 people, most of them are old and weak women and children, and many years of war have basically drained the young blood of this village, leaving only a broken body, surviving for a long time. Not only Xiaowangzhuang, but also the entire Central Plains and Guanzhong region were all miserable because of Emperor Yang of Sui's abuse of people's power and the transition of conquest. For example, the heroes rose up today and vowed to overthrow the Sui Emperor. Politics. Tang lord Li Yuan Jinyang raised troops, and now he has been based on the central government; Jianghu heroes Dou Jiande Zhangnan Juyi, strength should not be underestimated; Liu Wuzhou, Xiao Milling and other heroes also have their own territory. These warlords fought against each other, and the land of Kyushu was once again torn apart after 38 years of unification.
The most powerful of the princes of all walks of life now is the famous Wagang Army led by Li Mi. In March, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was hanged by Yu Wenhua and the rebels led by Yu Wenhua, and then Yang Tong, the king of Yue who remained in Luoyang, was put on the throne by a number of noble ministers and changed to Yuan Huangtai. Subsequently, Yang Tong canonized Li Mi as Tai Lieutenant, Shang Shuling, Marshal of the Daxingtai Marching Army of Southeast Dao, and Wei Guogong, and ordered him to quickly pacify Yu Wenhua and the northbound rebels led by him. In this battle, Li Mi defeated the Xiaoguo rebels in Tongshan, and Yu Wenhua only led more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Weicheng. After this battle, Li Mi became famous, east to the seaside, Mount Tai, south to the Yangtze River, Huai River, all counties are ministers.
These are all current affairs news from the old lady's mouth, especially Li Mi's big Poyu culture and what happened this month. Wang Mai never dreamed that the living history was so close to him that he seemed to be able to reach out and touch its long-lived face. But then I thought about it, in troubled times, human life is like a mustard, and it is unpredictable whether it will be a blessing or a curse to come to such an era.
When Wang Mai came to the door of the last house in the village, the basket containing eggs was basically empty.
"Mother, I don't dare anymore......" Before Wang Mai called the door, a tall figure burst out of the room, covering his buttocks, and rushed towards him.
"You little rabbit, stand ...... me," a middle-aged woman chased out of the house with a feather duster. The middle-aged woman saw Wang Mai standing outside the house, and smiled awkwardly: "It turns out that the little brother of Mrs. Wang's family is here......
"Fugui, you made your mother angry again...... Wang Mai pulled out Fugui who was hiding behind him.
"This bastard boy stole the afternoon meal at noon...... Aunt Wang said angrily.
"Mother, I know it's wrong......" Fugui said cowardly on the side.
"I'll clean you up when I go back," Aunt Wang said to her son.
"Aunt Wang, Fugui is still a child after all," Wang Mai persuaded, and took out the last few eggs from the basket and stuffed them into Aunt Wang's hands, "I just recognized the old lady Wang, and the old lady instructed to take a few eggs and give them to the villagers." In addition, I want to go into the city and find Fugui to show me the way. ”
Aunt Wang took the egg with both hands happily: "At first glance, the little brother is a blessed person, the old lady Wang is a scholar, and the little brother will definitely be able to be a big official in the future." It's not like my stupid son, who knows how to eat all day long. Alright, you two talk, I still have some needlework in the house to finish. Then he turned around and went back to the house with the egg in his hand.
"Fugui, your mother is old, don't make her angry." As Wang Mai spoke, he took out half of the corn cake left over from his bosom and handed it to him. Fugui was his first friend in this world, when his foot injury was not healed, Fugui climbed a tall elm tree and helped him cut a large branch to make a crutch.
"I don't want to...... But I'm hungry...... When I saw what I was eating, I couldn't control it. "This year, I really answered a sentence, and the landlord's family had no surplus grain. Let's take Mrs. Wang's family as an example, as the largest landlord in Xiaowangzhuang, it stands to reason that although it cannot be prosperous and rich, it is basically guaranteed that food and clothing are worry-free. The old lady said that when Emperor Yang Jian of Sui was in power, his family never worried about his livelihood, and he couldn't plant more than 100 acres of land by himself. However, years of war have caused a serious loss of labor, and the villagers cannot even cultivate their own land, so how can they have time to help the landlord's family farm the land. Most of the land in the village was barren, and the weeds on it grew taller than a child. After the tragic loss of her second son, the elderly old lady could only go to the field by herself, and the harvested grain was barely enough to make a living.
"Alas!" Thinking of this, Wang Mai couldn't help sighing.
"By the way, Brother Mai, when do you want to enter the city?"
"I'm a vagrant, and I always have time."
"Oh," Fugui thought for a moment, "there is still grass in the field that has not been hoeed, so I will finish it with a little more effort tomorrow, and we will be able to enter the city early the day after tomorrow." ”
The two agreed on the time and place, and Wang Mai left here with the basket.
