Chapter 114: A Bowl of Love
The groom and the bride looked at each other and smiled, and the groom said, "Childe, you might as well have a cup of tea first, and listen to us slowly." The bride poured tea for them.
It all started more than 2,000 years ago.
More than 2,000 years ago, it was still an era of war and chaos. The forces of all parties have been separating one side for a long time, fighting each other for their own interests, fighting to the death, and no one will let anyone.
The contradictions within the nation and the invasion of foreign enemies eventually led to the shattering of mountains and rivers and the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family after years of war.
War requires enormous manpower and material resources, coupled with bureaucratic corruption, all kinds of harsh and tyrannical policies are rampant, and taxes are becoming heavier and heavier every year.
The war has eaten up the flesh of the people, drunk the blood of the people, and exploited almost everyone, to the point where there is no idle land everywhere, and the peasants are still starving to death. No matter how many fields were planted, the farmers still did not have enough to eat, did not have enough clothing, and were either frozen to death or starved to death.
Order, gradually there is no order. In the whole world, the people are not happy.
In order to survive and escape the war, countless people were forced to abandon their homes, leave their homeland, become refugees, live a life of displacement, lack of clothing, lack of food, and flee from famine, struggling on the verge of death.
However, what is even worse is that the weather is not beautiful, the climate is unpredictable, and the polar disasters of heavy rains and droughts are continuous, or heavy rains wash away food crops; Either the drought kills crops from drought, making the already scarce food even more scarce.
Years of war and famine have resulted in countless people dying of starvation, war, freezing, and innocent killings. At that time, people's lives were like ants, and a slap of fate could kill them at any time.
During this period, there was a mother and son who fled the famine, and when they were desperate, the mother gave the last food to the child, but she was starved to death, leaving the child alone, becoming a wandering orphan and wandering around.
He relied on the food left for him by his mother, and walked and walked and walked all the way, struggling to survive everywhere, and walked through thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers......
He began to wander around as a child, went through hardships, saw all the difficulties in the world, and tasted all the sufferings in the world......
A few years later, he had grown from a boy to a man. He knows that the culprit for all this is because of war, so he hates war!
So one day, he made up his mind, he wanted to hide, he wanted to escape from it all. He wants to go to a place where there is no war, no war, no people, and live alone.
From the day he made up his mind, he began to pack his bags. When you're ready, pack your bags and hit the road again.
So from that day on, he kept walking into the mountains, and where there were more mountains and no people, the more he went.
He just kept going, going deep into the mountains, and he would rather die on the road than turn back, because he didn't want to live that wandering life again.
Along the way, the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and when the prepared rations were finished, he dug weeds, gnawed the bark of trees, saw wild fruits and picked wild fruits, saw fish catching fish, and in short, he would never let go of everything he could eat.
Fortunately, however, it was under such difficult circumstances that he finally reached his destination and found a place where he thought he was satisfied.
There is no one here, no war, no burning, killing and looting; But there are fields, and trees, and beautiful green hills and green waters. In this way, after a long journey and sleeping in the open, he finally came to this place, and he seemed to see the hope and dawn of survival again.
So, he was very lucky, and he hid in the deserted and isolated mountains alone, far away from the world and war, and avoided the war.
From then on, he didn't care about the world and didn't care about the outside world. No matter how beautiful the outside world is, or how dilapidated it is, it has nothing to do with him, as long as he lives his own life. Anyway, he also knew that this kind of life outside would not be good.
So he found a place to call his future home. There were mountains, water, woods, and most importantly, fields, and as long as he had fields, he could grow food.
There are no heavy taxes, no robbers and thieves, as long as you can grow food and be self-sufficient, you will not starve to death, and maybe you will be able to live a good life and live a comfortable life in the future.
However, it is difficult to get started. In the beginning, he had nothing, no house, no food, no tools, nothing, just a bare-bones commander.
However, in the face of all difficulties, he has hands and feet, he is still young, he has strength, and most importantly, he has the confidence and courage to create the future and open up the future, as well as a heart to overcome all difficulties.
For him, as long as he has these, this is enough, and no matter how difficult it is, it is not difficult. Therefore, even in the face of all kinds of suffering, he is still full of hope for the future.
His biggest dream is to have food, clothes to wear, and a place to live. In general, it is enough to have a place called home that can shelter him from the wind and rain and let him live well. This is already a great happiness for him. That's his goal, his dream, what drives him.
But before the grain could be grown, he had to dig weeds, pick wild fruits, gnaw tree bark, go down to the river to fish and catch shrimp, and if he was lucky enough to dig up a fat worm or catch a mouse, he might even be able to get more food.
He knew how to make a fire out of wood, the quickest and least labor-saving way to make a fire, so that he could heat the food and not eat it raw.
In the beginning, the days were very long and difficult, and I could only live the days of eating the last meal and not the next meal every day, and my life was completely insecure.
But as the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water. There are many wild fruits and wild meat in the mountains, and he can accumulate the wild fruits he picks and the game he catches to eat, and he can be flexible and keep them to eat slowly, so that he can eat these unpalatable things without digging weeds and gnawing on tree bark.
After dealing with hunger, the most important thing is to grow food and solve the food crisis, and only healthy and sustainable development is the best way to develop.
But if you want to grow food, even if you have land, it is not so easy to actually grow it. In the beginning, he made a simple small wooden shovel out of wood, which he could use to loosen the soil and dig holes. He brought seeds of all kinds of vegetables, and he could grow fruits and vegetables on the land.
In his free time, he went to cut down trees and build houses for himself, building as big as he wanted. But at present, he can only build a small, simple cabin to live in, so that he can have a place to live first, and do not have to be in the wind and rain, as for the big one, he can build it later when he has time. As long as you are industrious and not lazy, sooner or later there will be bread and a house.
At the beginning of the most difficult beginning, the melons and fruits were planted, the house was built, everything gradually got better, began to develop in a better direction, and life also had hope.
When he lived in the house he built for the first time, when he ate the vegetables he grew for the first time, he can always remember the excitement and joy.
So, he worked all his life, diligent and steadfast, with his own hands and feet and a little fruit and vegetables grown on the acre and three points of land to support himself, although he still did not have enough food and clothing every day, but he would not be starved to death and froze to death.
Although sometimes he feels that he is very lonely, but accompanied by green mountains and green waters, when he is sad, he looks at the sunrise, looks at the sunset, looks at the night sky, looks at nature, enjoys the beautiful scenery in his busy time, feels and understands life, and finds fun for himself.
After all, being able to live is already a happiness that can be met but not sought for him, and he does not expect anyone to understand his loneliness and someone to change it for him. In the face of life, in the face of survival, those are secondary, humble, and insignificant. It's good to be alive, and you don't have to care about whether you have someone to accompany you or not.
No matter how bad it is, he still has green mountains and green waters, and natural beauty to accompany him. He knew what it meant when he made that choice in the first place. It means that he chose to stay away from the strife of the world and live alone, which means that he chose to be lonely, and he will live alone, for which he is already mentally prepared.
As the saying goes, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and what he gets, he must give up something. Anyway, he is tired of the outside world, even if he is alone now, he will always comfort himself like this. Thinking about it, it's the right choice, and then he feels much better, and this self-soothing effect is not bad.
He tries to enrich himself every day, and he doesn't think about these things. He still has a lot to accomplish if he wants to achieve his ideal state and have a decent home.
In the beginning, he would only make rudimentary, jagged pieces of furniture, and put tables and chairs together crookedly. At first, he had no experience, and he always had to suffer some losses, but he knew that it was always the most difficult at first, but as long as he did it a few more times, accumulated experience, and took it slowly.
At that time, when there were no beds, we could use whatever we had in nature, and we used everything to the fullest, anyway, there were many flowers, plants, and big trees. He weaved himself a straw mat out of hay and spread it on the ground, on which he could only sleep. Although the conditions are still very bad, he knows that one day it will be fine.
There was food, drink, a house to live in, and a place to sleep, and gradually, he lived a life without contention with the world. Even if he has been lonely for the rest of his life, he is already extremely lucky compared to those outside who were born today and died tomorrow. After all, what a blessing it was to be able to live to old age at that time.
Later, he also cultivated a vegetable garden in front of his house and planted crops in the field. He would often find some plants to grow and raise in the mountains, plant them in his vegetable garden, weed and watered them every day, and let them thrive...
Watching the crops in the field mature day by day, he became happier day by day, and finally until one day, the crops in the field have grown up and matured, which means that he finally has his own food, and the hard work and sweat paid have finally been exchanged for the harvest, and the good days of his dreams are coming day by day.
