In the June sun, there are a few lazy white clouds floating in the clear blue sky, which is refreshingly blue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Under the sky are turquoise hills. One hill after another, connecting into the distance, to the shore ten miles away.

A town of three or four hundred households falls in this mountain col of continuous green hills.

The buildings in the town are all black tiles and white walls, and a road is vacated in the middle of the buildings, forming a small bazaar.

This is Qianting Town, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, in the second year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse.

Outside the town, a young man in a white mourning dress with a solemn face walked over from a distance, walked into the town, and walked through the town's bazaar.

His appearance caused a lot of discussion among the surrounding vegetable vendors and butchers.

"Look, nerds know how to borrow money."

"Looking at him like this, I'm afraid he didn't borrow it."

"This nerd. As soon as his father goes, the Li family is afraid that it will be over, and it will become Huang Xianggong's tenants. ”

Those who talk are quite loud and don't seem to care about being heard by young people. Hearing these discussions, the young man had a slightly unhappy look on his face. He stopped, looked around, and protested against what others were saying.

Those who chewed their tongues stopped talking.

Soon, however, the crowd ignored the young people's protests and resumed their discussions.

"The nerd is not happy."

"If you can't borrow money to pay off your debts, you're just like those rural tenants. It's pitiful, I can only live on other people's fields, and I won't be able to raise my head in the future! ”

Seeing that the protest was useless, the young man did not speak, but left the bazaar quickly.

Walking to a small courtyard at the end of the town, the young man opened the door and walked in.

Seeing that the young man had disappeared, the people in the bazaar stopped talking about other things.

#####

This young man who wears filial piety clothes and is called a nerd is called Li Tu.

Li Tu did go to borrow silver. He set out early in the morning to borrow money from his uncle's house in the next town, but eventually returned empty-handed. Although there was not much expectation at the time of departure, the end result was still frustrating for Li Tu.

The courtyard of the Li family is not big, no more than five or six zhang long and wide. At the entrance of the courtyard is a simple gatehouse, and there is no shadow wall behind the gatehouse that the rich and noble will repair. In the yard, a chicken pen is separated by bamboo strips, and some chickens and ducks are raised in it. There was a well opposite the chicken pen with a worn wooden barrel on top of the manhole cover.

At the innermost end of the courtyard are three old mud houses.

Hearing the sound of the door opening in the courtyard, an old woman and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy hurriedly came out of the house.

The old woman was less than fifty years old, but her hair was all white, and the wrinkles on her face were not deep, but her face was worried, and it was Li Tu's mother, Zheng.

The young man was Li Tu's younger brother Li Tong, who was not tall and had a tiger head. Although he is a little thin due to lack of nutrition, he has a pair of big eyes that shine inside.

Seeing Li Tu's face, the old woman guessed something. She threw herself out in disappointment and sighed.

"Tu'er, won't my uncle borrow it?"

Li Tu nodded and didn't say much.

"Your uncle has more than 50 acres of land, and his family has a tenant farmer, and he is the richest among his relatives, and now he can't lend us any silver?"

The old woman looked back into the room, where her husband's tablet was placed on the table in the middle of the room. Looking at the tablet, Zheng's eyes turned red and tears almost flowed out.

Wiping her eyes with her hands, the old woman did not let the tears flow after all.

The young man beside the old woman looked at Li Tu carefully, he walked up to Li Tu and looked at Li Tu blankly.

The elder brother in the eyes of the young man seems to be a little different from before. In the midst of a crisis, although my brother did not borrow money, he did not look like he was desperate to give up. Such a Li Tu made Li Tong invisibly have some dependence.

Li Tu watched the actions of his mother and younger brother, but did not say anything. He opened the lid of the water tank in the courtyard, raised the gourd scoop and took a long sip of water. Wiping his lips, he threw the gourd scoop back into the jar.

"I'll figure it out!"

Li Tu turned to his mother and said loudly.

"Don't be afraid, there's a way."

Li Tu was not a man of his time.

Li Tu originally lived in the 21st century, he was an ordinary employee of a listed company, living a simple 9-to-5 life. Although it is not a good job, the work is also smooth and stable, and there is no need for food and clothing. On weekdays, he doesn't have many hobbies, but Li Tu likes to read time-traveling novels.

However, a month ago, the plot of the time-traveling novel happened to him, and he inexplicably traveled to Zhangzhou Mansion in Fujian, the second year of the Apocalypse, and possessed this peasant named Li Tu.

Strangely, both the traverser and the farmer were named Li Tu. Two people who have been separated by four hundred years actually have the same name and surname.

Possessed by Li Tu, he directly possessed the memory of the peasant Li Tu.

With his memory, he quickly adapted to the environment. In the world, he did not show that he was a traverser.

Of course, he doesn't want others to know that he is a time-traveler. He didn't want to be burned to death by the people of the late Ming Dynasty as a spirit.

With his memory, he knew that his name was also Li Tu, that he was eighteen years old, that this farmer Li Tu had been looked down upon by the neighbors around him, that his father Li Cheng had just died of illness, and that there was an old mother Zheng and a fifteen-year-old brother Li Tong at home. In addition to the three tiled houses, there are also seven acres of paddy fields at home.

The family has seven acres of paddy fields, which means that in this era, the Li family is not a tenant, but a rare homesteaders.

But this ancestral industry seems to be unable to be kept.

Memories tell him that the farmer Li Tu's father had a serious illness half a year ago and had to vomit blood every day. At that time, the family was in a panic and went to Langzhong in the county seat to see a doctor, saying that it was liver and stomach fever and blood stasis blockage. In short, it is a disease that ordinary people can't understand.

The pillar of the family was sick, and the family suddenly lost their sense of proportion and became a mess.

On weekdays, the Li family of four guards seven acres of thin fields, where do they have much savings? But it costs money to buy medicine, and in order to save his life, Li Tu borrowed silver from Huang Kaichou, the landlord in the town.

First it was five taels, then ten taels, then fifteen taels, and finally Shengsheng borrowed forty taels of silver. The landlord surnamed Huang is generous, and he responds to requests every time. Who knew that when the silver was smashed, this medicine would be useless. The condition is raging, and three months ago, Li Tu's father went away.

Today, it has been three months since the funeral, and yesterday's mourning sacrifice was completed, and the Huang family came to ask for silver.

After three months of treatment, the family, which was not wealthy, was already poor and white, and where could there be money to pay off the debt.

But in this world, it is not that you are poor, but there are people who sympathize with you. The Huang family made it clear that if they didn't pay the money, they would have to pay for the Li family's land.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, land annexation was already very serious. Qianting Town is more than ten miles away, and there is no second homesteaders except for the Li family. Everywhere, except for tenants, they were landlords. Li Tu's family is a rare homesteader.

The Li family has been struggling to keep their home for decades, and they can't imagine that they will still become tenants who work for others.

As soon as Li Tu crossed, he faced the crisis of family bankruptcy.
