Chapter 1: Su Ming
"Oh, oh!"
The only rooster in the Xu Ji Inn crowed, revealing a little white in the morning light, and slowly the cold night was about to pass. Su Ming sat up from the bed slowly, his eyelids were very hard, and he slowly opened a line so that he could see things.
Although it was spring, it was still very cold in the morning, and the temperature outside was minus four or five degrees. Lifting the quilt, it was not so much a quilt as a blanket, no, the blanket, there was no hair on it.
Putting on cloth shoes, of course, there were no socks on his feet, and after putting on a gray cloth shirt, he walked to the door and opened the wooden door.
The cold air outside directly took away all of Su Ming's sleepiness, and also took away the dreams that he didn't want to wake up.
"Wow, cool!"
Su Ming stretched, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, looked at the scenery and sky outside the door, and sighed slightly: "Accept your fate, Su Ming!"
Su Mingben is a fresh graduate of Huaxia in the 21st century, and he asked a few classmates to go to the mountains to play in the summer, but he didn't expect to encounter an earthquake and a landslide that buried several people. When Su Ming woke up, he found that his soul was attached to a little beggar who was also named Su Ming and starved to death.
This is a world similar to the ancient Chinese Kingdom, in the past few years, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and several surrounding countries lived in harmony, which can be regarded as a prosperous era. But three years ago, a large number of flying stones from outside the sky fell, causing many disasters. Take Su Ming's Yue country as an example, Yue Guo is located on the southeast coast, several counties along the entire coast have been hit by waves, half of them have died, and the central and western regions are not much better, the mountains have collapsed, the mud and rocks are rolling, the people have been displaced, Su Ming's parents also died in this disaster, he was helpless, came out to beg, he was only 13 years old at the time, two years later, starved to death, Su Ming of Huaxia was reborn.
Su Ming is highly educated, and he still has some brains, so he didn't starve himself to death, but found a job as a handyman in an inn, and he admired himself quite a lot.
I live in the backyard of the inn, opposite the door is the horse shed, the first thing I do when I get up is to feed the horses grass, just step out of one foot, the right aisle quickly walked a person.
"Su Ming, it's early!"
Xu Yingying, who was dressed in white, walked in front of Su Ming's door, greeted Su Ming with a smile, and didn't care whether Su Ming responded or not, she went straight to the left and walked out of the inn, Su Ming knew that she was practicing martial arts.
Xu Yingying is the daughter of the inn boss Xu, although she is not a country and a city, but she is also fresh and beautiful, especially the tall and well-proportioned figure, which makes Su Ming peek at the back several times and drool. Xu Yingying is 18 years old this year, according to the current world, she has reached the point of talking about marriage, but Boss Xu is such a daughter, she is spoiled by heaven, and it is not easy to ask questions, plus Xu Yingying is yearning for martial arts, this matter has dragged on like this.
Xu Yingying's master is the owner of a nearby Taoist temple, surnamed Zhang, he is in his seventies, Su Ming has seen it a few times, although his hair is gray, his face and hands are wrinkled, but his face is ruddy, and his spirit is strong, and he can live to be at least a hundred years old. At the beginning, Boss Xu was quite interested in this Taoist temple and donated a lot of merits, but the old man saw that his daughter liked martial arts, so he made a favor and accepted Xu Yingying as an apprentice.
Boss Xu is overjoyed, that Guan Master is a martial arts master, and his level is ranked the highest in Nanfeng County, not to mention this small Luoxia Town.
Xu Yingying is agile, and good at thinking, and her talent is even more abnormal, Zhang Guanzhu is full of praise, and when he meets people, he says that Xu Yingying is his closed disciple.
Su Ming took out a bundle of woolen grass from the room next to the thatched house where he lived, threw it into the manger under the stable, and said to himself, "Come on, come on, get up and have breakfast." The horses in the stable are separated, and those horses are also hungry and flustered, Su Ming woke up as soon as he opened the door, and they all stuck out their heads and stared at the manger.
After the catastrophe, everything changed, the population was reduced, the people were displaced, and it was good to be able to live and have something to eat. Similarly, the horses are also, there are five horses in a row, none of them are strong, and the thinnest one, Su Ming, looks like a small hair stove, and his ribs are all seen, Su Ming is a little distressed and said: "Soon, your master is not far from killing you!"
A bundle of grass was evenly distributed to the five horses, and the horses were not full, so they began to pant and call, Su Ming ignored it, raised his eyebrows, and said secretly: It's good to have food to eat, I haven't eaten meat for more than three months.
Three months ago, Su Ming was still begging outside the city, and inadvertently caught a crow, Su Ming's thin body immediately had energy, and quickly found a no-man's land, plucked and washed it, and then drilled wood to make fire, and finally ate the first bite of meat in this world after being busy for a long time.
Later, a handyman in the Xu Ji Inn went home to visit relatives, and was unfortunately killed on the way, among the many applicants, Su Ming relied on his smart knowledge and was appreciated by Boss Xu, which led to this job.
Breakfast is porridge, which is actually a few grains of rice added to the white water to make it taste porridge. Su Ming drank two large bowls, and when he was about to fight, he saw Aunt Liu, who was cooking rice, staring at him like a cannibal, so Su Ming had no choice but to put down the dishes and chopsticks.
After breakfast, Su Ming went to the back kitchen to help, chopping wood, lighting fire, and carrying water, and was very busy until noon. After the disaster, the business in the inn is not as good as day by day, I heard the chef say that in the past, there were many people here at noon and night, and those who came late did not sit, and there were four small two when they were busiest, and now there is only one small two left in Su Ming, or a substitute.
There were not many people at noon, there were only seven or eight people in total, and no one stayed overnight, so they all left. The food on the table was very clean, and Su Mingqi gritted his teeth: Damn, I didn't even have a tip.
A bowl of blackened rice, with four or five pickles, is lunch. This is the standard, it is like this all year round, Su Ming was helpless, and ate it hard.
There is a rest of more than an hour in the afternoon. Su Ming returned to the thatched house, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more it tasted, malnourished, I still have to grow my body, after all, this body is only 16 years old, which is the age of growing up!
Xu Ji Inn is located at the corner of the downtown area, Su Ming went out from the back door, and walked north, there is a mountain there, which is not high, but Su Ming heard from the people in the inn that there were many wild beasts here in the past, and people from other towns often came to hunt.
The road to the north used to be very prosperous, but now seventy percent of the shops on the road are closed, and most of the rest are still surviving.
"Yo, Su Ming, where are you going!"
In a shop, there were only three door panels, and from behind the door came a chubby boy, fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a gray-black cotton jacket, and said with a smile.
The other party's name is Zhang Xiaohu, and his family is also rich, and he has opened four or five shops, otherwise he would not be so fat. This Zhang Ji wonton is also theirs. Zhang Xiaohu's father often took him to Xu Ji Inn for dinner, and the two got acquainted with each other.
"Oh, it's nothing, go out for a walk. Su Ming was a little weak and replied vaguely.
"Take me with you, I'm fine, my father told me to read every day, and my head is big. Zhang Xiaohu stepped out of the threshold as he spoke, turned his head and shouted to the store: "Dad, Su Ming and I have gone out, and we will be back in a while." ”
No one responded inside, Zhang Xiaohu didn't care, he directly took Su Ming's hand, and said a little excitedly: "Let's go, let's go to the mountain to see the snow." ”
There was a snowfall here four or five days ago, and the snow was two inches high, the largest in recent years. Now the snow on the streets and houses has melted, but there is still residual snow in Beishan.
Su Ming was helpless, he ate a piece of pot he gave him last time, and it was not easy to refuse at the moment, as the so-called eating people with a soft mouth and taking people with soft hands.
Luoxia Town is not big, and in the time of a stick of incense, the two came to the foot of the mountain. Beishan used to be a tourist attraction in the town, especially the rows of bamboo, connected into the sea, the scenery is particularly beautiful. At the moment, it was miserable, the bamboo was almost cut down, and the ground was full of small pits that had been dug.
"The bamboo shoots have been dug up, hey!" Zhang Xiaohu sighed.
The mountain did not tremble, and the two of them slowly ascended the mountain. The remaining bamboo sea was quiet, there were no insects or birds, and the last hope in Su Ming's heart was shattered.
