Chapter 005: Seven Days of Resentment Without Toilet Paper

Huangxi Village is located between the mountains, where the tributaries of the Lushui River flow through, it is a village by the mountains and rivers, there are less than 100 households in the village, most of them live by hunting and fishing, although they are not rich, but they are not worried about food and clothing.

When Zhang Shuo returned to Huangxi Village, the sun had already set down the mountain, and Lao Wutou's boat stopped at a shoal, shouted to the village, and after a while, two men came to help drag the boat to the shore.

"Doctor Zhang!" On the way into the village, a man in his thirties immediately walked over after seeing Zhang Shuo, "This is the first fish I caught today, it's not small, you take it!"

The man was wearing a coarse cloth coat, tied his trouser legs, held a net in his left hand, and a fish basket in his right hand, and it seemed that he had just returned from fishing, but he walked quickly to Zhang Shuo, put down the fish basket, and picked out a half-arm-long grass carp from it and handed it over.

Zhang Shuo knew that this fish was not necessarily the first fish that the man caught, but it was definitely the largest fish in the basket, but he didn't shirk and took it with a smile.

It's not that Zhang Shuo is greedy, he doesn't look down on a mere grass carp, but he knows that if he refuses, it must be the man who fishes in the embarrassment.

The man's name is Wu Luo, two days ago, his youngest son had a high fever and begged to come to the door overnight, Zhang Shuo used half a compound aminophenamine tablet, and felt that it was not safe, so he added a cephalosporin capsule, and the result was naturally a medicine to get rid of the disease.

Because Zhang Shuo did not prepare many medicines, only one person's amount, so he claimed that his medicines were ancestral formulas and extremely precious, so Wu Luo thought that he owed Zhang Shuo a great favor, and he had to repay him for everything.

Most of the people in the village are not rich, and Zhang Shuo doesn't need Wu Luo to repay anything, so Zhang Shuo and Wu Luo agreed to let him give the first fish he catches from the river every day in the future.

The people of Huangxi Village are very simple, seven days ago, when Fang Yue first came to this world, the place where he appeared was in the mountains and forests south of the village, at that time he met the hunters in the village, and was taken to the village before nightfall, and then he realized how lucky he was, there were not only bears in the surrounding mountains and forests, but also wolves, if he stayed in the forest at night, it was estimated that there would be a pile of bones left the next day.

Before dark, Zhang Shuo pushed open the firewood door, which was a thatched hut, surrounded by gravel and mud, with a thatched roof, where Zhang Shuo lived temporarily.

This was originally a place where an old hunter surnamed Song lived, but he entered the mountain last year and never came back, the old hunter had no son, only a daughter who married to Linxian, so this thatched hut was idle.

After returning to the house, he unloaded the backpack from his shoulder, and the bag contained the things he had changed from the county seat, because the first two worlds overlapped either grasslands or forests, so Zhang Shuo thought that this new world was very desolate, and all he prepared was things like wilderness survival.

But now that he has entered human society, then Zhang Shuo is facing a very big problem - he has no money!

A few days ago, Zhang Shuo could still live by relying on the food he prepared and the help from the village, but after a few days, all the things he prepared were eaten, and the people in the village were not rich, so he had the idea of going to the city.

Zhang Shuo asked, there are no pawnshops in the county, but there are some big shops that will accept some valuable items, Zhang Shuo found some things that can be sold after sorting out all his net worth.

Today, Zhang Shuo entered the county seat early, and after inquiring around, he found a shop that collected things, a key ring with messy decorations, and two mineral water bottles with torn off labels, in exchange for a total of fifteen gold.

Don't get me wrong, the "gold" here is not gold, but brass, fifteen gold is fifteen catties of copper coins, about more than two thousand, and it is quite heavy when put into the backpack, all the way down, Zhang Shuo's shoulders were strangled.

In fact, in addition to copper coins, Zhang Shuo's backpack also contained some department stores he bought in the county, such as oil lamps, salt, etc., don't underestimate these department stores, in Huangxi Village, everything is incomparably precious, especially salt, some people may not be able to eat it once a month.

Night is coming, the room is pitch black, Zhang Shuo took out a lighter and lit an oil lamp, the room is not big, the light can just envelop the whole space, the layout here is quite simple, there is a stone table in the middle of the house, next to the table is a wooden pier that is used as a seat, and the corner of the wall is covered with a thick layer of hay, which is a unique bed in this era.

There were no bedrooms, no toilets, no baths, the kitchen was a stone stove at the back of the house, and the copper kettle on the stove was also made of the village, and everything seemed so barren, not barren in wealth, but barren in productivity.

The degree of civilization in this world is about the Qin and Han dynasties, iron tools have appeared, but the method of smelting is regarded as a secret that is not passed on, today Zhang Shuo heard a news in the tavern, the Xia Yang clan of the imperial city has an ancestral method, can smelt evil iron, cast swords, cut gold and break stones, extremely sharp.

In this era, being able to have a full stomach is already the most desired thing for the low-level commoners, and if they want to improve their living standards?

Just when Zhang Shuo was sighing for his miserable situation, suddenly, a familiar feeling came to his heart, and he trembled, if anyone was here, he would find that his eyes were brighter than an oil lamp!

After Zhang Shuo entered this world, he immediately tried to see if he could return, but whenever he tried to recall that strange feeling, his head stabbed.

Zhang Shuo guessed that his golden finger might need some kind of energy, after all, it was a shuttle between two worlds, but he wasn't sure how to recover this energy, or how long it would take, so he settled in Huangxi Village and prepared for a protracted battle.

Now, this familiar feeling has returned again, Zhang Shuo almost wanted to cry at the moment, he knew that he had been pretending not to see and persevering to the end, although he did not encounter danger of life after entering this world, but after a week of no toilet paper, no one could stand it!

If Zhang Shuo meets a junior like him who can shuttle through other worlds in the future, he will solemnly warn them that don't forget to bring toilet paper, otherwise if you wear it to a world with underdeveloped civilization, what awaits you will be a nightmare of washing your butt with your hands!

After thinking back on the nightmarish life of the past few days, Zhang Shuo finally took a breath, and almost instantly he found the feeling he had at the beginning, the two worlds overlapped again, and this time what appeared in front of him was the sofa in his apartment......
