(3) This era
It was very difficult to live in the times, and even with the help of 'functional buildings', the productivity of society was generally not high, and only the residents of large towns had the opportunity to live a comfortable life in the city, and outside of large towns, if you didn't want to starve to death, then you had to work non-stop, and even children had to take on the necessary work.
Among the older children, the boys will do the heavy work such as diving and chopping wood, or follow the adults to help in the mills and lumberyards, and the girls will do all the housework in the house, including laundry, cooking, sewing and tidying, which should be their mother's work, but in this world, women use 'functional buildings' with the same effect as men, that is, there will be at least two adult laborers in each household, although it is harder, but at least there will be a lot of surplus food every month, and there is hope for life.
In such a village, the little turnip heads, who are not yet 14 years old, are not idle, they need to feed poultry and livestock, collect medicine in the fields near the village, or work in groups of three or five in the specially carved public vegetable garden.
In this small village built by the river, as the sister of the 'pig warrior' Bing Hunt, Dong Dong naturally attracted the attention of the children, and they carefully tried to contact this strange child, because Bing Hunt's courage is extraordinary, and a single person can hunt dangerous wild boars, and they feel that the 'sister' of this kind of role must also be a female man with eight-pack abs.
But after the contact, the children were disappointed to find that the other party was just an ordinary girl, and this girl not only did not have the legendary eight-pack abs, but was much weaker than her peers in physical fitness, and seemed to be a pampered child.
The child's insight is quite insufficient, if you change to a person who has a certain knowledge of Chinese medicine to check Dongdong, then he will find that the child's original physical fitness is quite strong, the reason why she will be weak is because she has been seriously injured, and the time of injury is about three months ago, such an injury, even if you recuperate, your vitality will be greatly damaged.
Ice Hunt is a very trustworthy person, after being sent to this world, he has taken care of this stupid girl who is obviously in a terrible physical condition, but he is unaware of it, but due to the poor material conditions, Dong Dong still fell ill, and after a lot of blood loss, he forced himself to find someone in prison Dong Dong, the rest of her life is definitely indispensable to the toss of the disease.
Weak, useless, pampered...... These are the first impressions of the children in the village of Dongdong, but soon, Xiao Maoyu used her own practical actions to reverse this bad first impression, and the child's attitude changed from prejudice to enthusiasm.
Little Maoyu still remembers Uncle Makarov's education: "If you just sit here and worry, you will never be able to melt in, but if you shrink like this, you will not be able to solve any problems, do you want to be a real guild member, or do you want to be a pet?" ’
Although there is no lucky house here, and there is no Mr. Kamijo and this sister, but Dongdong's desire to integrate into this group is unchanged, Xiao Maoyu does not want to be Mr. Kamijo's pet, and has no interest in becoming the pet of the red-haired villain, she wants to be accepted by the people of this village as 'Bori/Chu Dongdong', not as the sister of the 'Pig Warrior' Ice Hunt.
Even if the body is weak, but Dong Dong also has its own advantages, because he has received the inheritance from the guardian witch bellflower, Dongdong has a wealth of knowledge about the ability to identify herbs and the preparation of medicines, the guardian witch bellflower of the jade of the four souls, is not only a strong person who makes the four demons smell the color, but also a master of medicine who can rescue the dying from the ghost gate.
This knowledge is almost completely worthless in modern society, because in the face of efficient and systematic Western medicine and modern Chinese medicine, which has been re-armed by the scientific method, the dispensing skills and medicinal properties of centuries ago are simply the scum of the slag, with the help of professional measuring instruments, the dispensers can arrogantly mark the weight of each medicinal material to four decimal places, and the use of modern packaging technology can ensure that the effect of the medicinal decoction or medicinal powder is still preserved for several years, so the knowledge of the shrine maiden is useless.
But in this backward world, the knowledge inherited by Dongdong finally has a chance to shine, after being familiar with the local types of drugs, Dongdong can find similar drug knowledge and corresponding collection methods in his head, and the skills in his head are quickly proficient after a few attempts, which allows Dongdong to collect far more herbs than other children.
When they found that the pampered 'eldest lady' in their eyes had collected more herbs than they could, the children first felt unbelievable and then became curious about Dong Dong again, and after the second contact, the children found that this girl was more hard-working than they imagined, even if she was tired and sweaty, she would not complain, which immediately made the children admire.
Except for not having eight-pack abs, she deserves to be the younger sister of Ice Hunt! This is what a few boys say about Xiao Maoyu.
Face rumors and misunderstandings with a smile, and then prove yourself with actions, Dongdong's response is simple, direct and effective.
And Dongdong has the experience of living in a lucky house, so she doesn't have the habitual dependency that is very common in modern children.
Due to the very low bonus of functional buildings for children, under normal circumstances, no village would allow these teenage dolls to participate in the farming work, but there is a unique custom in this village - the communal vegetable garden.
At the time of the war, the kind village chief's wife took in a large number of unattended children, but the village with few adults could not support these poor children at all, but this lady was very smart, she organized the children to start self-cultivation, if the strength of one child is not enough, then let several children work together, the labor force of a dozen children is no worse than that of an adult, she led the village full of old, weak, sick and disabled people to dig wild vegetables, pick wild fruits, fish, and exchange medicinal materials for food. After suffering a lot, he finally survived until the end of the war, during which no one was abandoned or starved to death.
Unfortunately, this kind lady was not in good health, and due to overwork, she died soon after leaving a daughter.
In order to commemorate her, the villages that had received her favor at the beginning reclaimed a piece of surplus arable land in addition to the standard cultivated land, and gave it to the children who had not grown up to take care of it, and every year on the death day of the lady, they used the food from this land to hold a festival.
Now, after a month of running-in, Dong Dong, who has been getting along with the new friends, is weeding in the public vegetable garden, there is no herbicide in this era, if you want to deal with the stubborn weeds in these vegetable gardens, you can only use a little bit of hands to pull, in order to prevent your hands from being scratched by leaves, the person who pulls the grass also needs to put a linen cloth on his hands to weave a small bag, but if this rough bag is brought for too long, his hands will be ground very painful, so there are already many little ghosts rubbing their hands and grinning to rest.
But Dongdong continued to do it unconsciously, this job is quite nostalgic for her, you must know that she is still in the MC world with Shangjo when Ma lives in a mud house on the grassland, the most she does every day is to keep digging turf!
However, in the MC world, when weeds are destroyed, you can randomly obtain seeds and other resources for various crops. And digging the turf here, all you harvest is a pile of weeds that are completely worthless, and you can only let the children with livestock at home feed the pigs and cattle.
"Knock knock! Take a break. Don't your hands hurt? A big boy in the rest team said to Xiao Maoyu with some worry.
"Hmm~ It's a little painful, but it's okay." Before he finished speaking, he was dragged to a resting place by a few friends.
A girl stepped forward and took off the bag of Dong Dong's hands, and everyone saw that two blood blisters had been ground out on Xiao Maoyu's white hands.
"Knock knock, don't you know the pain? You worked so hard the last time you loosened the soil...... Girls should cherish themselves! ”
Several big sister-type characters began to talk bitterly about their education, but Dong Dong replied with a 'unconscious' smirk.
There is no doubt that this idiot doesn't understand what these big sisters want to express at all, Dongdong only knows that being lazy and slippery is a very, very bad thing - 'If Dongdong doesn't do things seriously, he will be slapped by Brother Chu Xuan with a paper stick......
"Well~ It's just two blood blisters, as long as you go back to the blisters boiled by dandelions and sawleaf grass for a while, you can reduce swelling and relieve pain."
Xiao Maoyu confidently said to his partners, different from the knowledge taught by Mr. Uejo, who often goes wrong or does not work at all, and different from the knowledge taught by Brother Chu Xuan, who sounds super profound and can't even think about it, the knowledge that Miss Kikyo passed on to Dongdong is quite excellent in terms of practicality and accuracy, and even Dongdong feels full of confidence.
(Shangjo Dangma is a junior high school student with half a bucket of water, as for your Brother Chu Xuan...... He's just fooling you! Little fools! )
After seeing Dongdong's confident appearance, the children around him suddenly had a feeling of 'She looks so reliable, so confident, and so handsome!' There were even a few boys staring at Dong Dong with red faces and not knowing what they were thinking.
"Knock knock, you've been to a lot of places with Brother Ice Hunt, right? What a envy...... I never left the village since I was a child. ”
"Knock knock, while everyone is resting now, can you talk about things outside? Everyone is looking forward to it! ”
After resting for a while, several children asked Xiao Maoyu to tell what they had seen and heard as if they had passed in advance.
And the surrounding children also showed expectant expressions, and followed a few leading children to coax until Dong Dong nodded.
In the eyes of the doll heads, Dongdong is a smart, erudite, and knowledgeable child, she has been to many places that she has never heard of, and knows a lot of new things they don't know, even their parents don't know as much as she does, so many children are willing to listen to Dongdong tell those new and interesting stories.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! Last time, you talked about a food called sugar, can this candy really make people feel happy? ”
"Hmmm! Of course! I promise! As an unswerving sweet party, Xiao Maoyu confidently puffed up her chest and assured.
"Sugar is the best panacea, and everyone who eats it becomes good...... It's like magic! ”
"Oh! So knock knock have you ever eaten sugar? ”
"Hmmm! Of course I've eaten candy! ”
"So you know how to find sugar, right?"
"Of course I know how to find candy! And sugar is very, very easy to find, and I know there are several ways to do it! ”
Dong Dong said this, and then crossed his fingers and began to count the methods of obtaining sugar, while the children around him listened with bated breath.
"You have to plant a lot of sugarcane, then put it on the workbench, and then the sugarcane can be turned into sugar!"
"Knock knock! Knock knock! What are you talking about a workbench? What is sugar cane? An inquisitive child raised his hand and asked.
"Ah~ sugar cane is...... Well...... The workbench is ...... Woo, I don't know. Xiao Maoyu, whose level is half a bottle of vinegar, was asked stupidly.
Let's not talk about how to explain the crazy 'MineCraft' super fool-proof processing technology in scientific and rational language, just sugar cane...... Dongdong's understanding of this miraculous crop that can produce sugar is that it can be used to make sugar, and it can be grown by inserting it in the dirt or sand near the water, not on stones. That's just the level.
Shangjo Dangma, Kikyo, Chu Xuan, Ning Zhiyu, Yi Wensu...... None of them had ever taught Dongdong what sugar cane was.
Looking at everyone's disappointed eyes, Xiao Maoyu immediately comforted them.
"Don't worry! I have a second way here! As long as you listen to Brother Chu Xuan's words, you can eat sugar! ”
That's right! This is Dongdong's second way to eat candy, when he was researching the base, it was the richest time in Dongdong's life, Colonel Chu used his power to open the supply of candy rations for the entire base to Xiao Maoyu, plus the trained soldiers, orderlies and researchers were quite fond of this little girl, so they often gave her some private candy.
So for all sorts of reasons, the little guy suddenly felt that he had become the richest Mao Yu in the world - the rich could use colorful sugar to make beautiful pictures, what a luxury!
Don't you think the richest people in the world are just that?
The smart little guy understood that the reason why he was so wealthy was completely inseparable from Brother Chu Xuan's magic.
He could always take candy out of his pocket, as if it had been conjured by magic!
(Therefore, Senior Colonel Chu Xuan must be fully responsible for any oral problems that may arise in Dongdong...... Because it's all your pets! )
"Oooh! Where is that big brother Chu Xuan who can take out countless candies from his pocket? "The kids were excited.
"Humph! Brother Chu Xuan is in ...... It's ...... It's ...... Where? Then the little one was dumbfounded again.
At that time, Ning Zhiyu threw her in the car and pulled her home directly, the little guy didn't know how to remember the way, where did he know where Chu Xuan was?
Because of Dongdong's two consecutive chain drops, the interest of the friends was extinguished a lot, and everyone soon started working again.
When Dong Dong was about to get up and continue to work, she suddenly felt someone pull her clothes from behind, and the little guy turned back suspiciously, and she saw a girl with blonde hair and pigtails on her right sideburns very nervously asked her.
"Sugar ...... Is it really a panacea for all of them? ”
After hearing the other party's question, Dongdong replied without hesitation.
"That's right!"
“…… I know. Thank you. ”
The girl bowed to Knock Knock, then turned away under her inexplicable gaze.
