Chapter 3 Life is Hard

readx;

Wu Xi was born on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, and after returning from the crossing, it was still the place where he lived when he was a child, which made him feel like home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if it is not a thing or a person, the familiarity in the same space still makes him feel a little comforted.

Song Dynasty, not bad, isn't it?

The concrete forests of later generations, the roar of cars, the acid gas emitted from factories, the industrial chimneys, the government buildings with the strong atmosphere of the times and the reviled people, the plastic bags flying all over the sky and those disgruntled passers-by.

The fast-paced urban development made Wu Xi really overwhelmed, and the ruthless slaughter of his emotional life made him lose the courage to continue living.

The Song Dynasty, hehe, it's really good, and was born in this troubled era, the incompetent Song Huizong can only play birds, paint, compose poems, and ignore the government, the court has been controlled by Cai Jing and Tongguan for a long time, if the role of military generals can be revived, then this Song Dynasty is much better than in history.

It's just that the people who are named in Donghuamen are taken as models for future generations, and the second emperor always has to go through the northeast.

I just don't know if my arrival will have an impact on the official development of history, and if I deviate from the track, there is nothing to learn from.

At that time, leading millions of troops and subduing Yan Yun became a joke.

"Boy, what do you want?" Father Wu carefully weeded the crops, and when he saw Wu Xi's stupid appearance, he asked.

"Dad, do you say that if you sing a name in Donghua Gate, you will really rise to prominence?" Wu Xi asked.

At first glance, Daddy Wu felt that Wu Xi was talking nonsense, and after seeing his serious appearance, he was somewhat surprised, this feeling was to pick up a baby and come back.

If Wu Xi can really roll his name at Donghua Gate in Tokyo, then the grievances he has suffered over the years are really not worth mentioning.

"Taking care of these acres of land is what you should consider now, otherwise before you can take the roll call, you will starve to death, and the gains outweigh the losses. Daddy Wu said jokingly.

"That's right, I don't have that ability at all, but, boy, I definitely want to change this rule that you can only rise to prominence by being a roll call in Donghuamen, and the status of military generals shouldn't be so low. "Wu Xi did the same, and weeded the dealer with Daddy Wu.

The crops in the northwest are mainly one-season crops, dry crops are the main crops, and beans are the main crops.

Potatoes and corn have not yet been introduced to China, and he just has a few in his backpack, and these two things happen to be grown in a bitter cold place like the northwest.

If these two things are successfully cultivated, it shouldn't be a big deal to mix up with the marquis in front of Song Huizong, right?

"You kid knows a lot, but it's better to be careful when you speak, if someone hears you talk big and reports to the official, you will be punished. Father Wu kindly reminded.

Wu Xi glanced left and right and nodded to indicate that he was taught.

The name of the village is Shuangxi Village, but there is only one small stream, which stubbornly splits a river between the two mountains and flows down the river to the Wuding River, which is thirty miles away.

There were a few women washing clothes by the river, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but when they saw Daddy Wu and Wu Xi coming over, they quickly got up and hid far away.

Daddy Wu was used to it, so he didn't get angry at all, and nodded his head from afar.

Wu Xi walked straight to the place where the women were washing clothes, picked up the clothes that he hadn't had time to pack up, wiped them on his face, and said to the women: "I am the first-class evil star of the seventy-two evil stars, and when you see me in the future, you must also hide far away." ”

After speaking, he laughed and went to chase Daddy Wu, who had already gone away.

"You shouldn't have done this to them, you are still young, and the days to come will be long, they are ignorant, don't be like them. ”

Regarding Daddy Wu's teachings, although Wu Xi was very reluctant, he did not refute it.

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with these people, it is this era that is wrong.

The emperor Lao'er invited all the Taoist priests to his home, and the people below naturally believed in it.

He returned to his lodgings on the rocky hill, drank a little gruel, and then took his hoe and went to the east corner of the yard to clear a small piece of land.

According to the planting method of later generations, potatoes, corn, and peppers were planted well.

After pouring water, he went into the house and fell asleep.

Daddy Wu's curiosity was seduced, and he nodded again and again at all that Wu Xi had done.

"In the future, careful cultivation is to ensure that after two years, the family will not be able to eat enough food, and those who looked down on you before will also flock to it, and the emperor will also return to the new Taoist priest to show you your appearance, rich and noble people, how can you say that you can change if you change?"

Wu Xi's lazy words came out of the house.

A serious way of speaking, Daddy Wu has always listened to it in his heart, Wu Xi said yes, then it probably really is.

He picked up the woodcutter, put the rope on his back, turned back to Wu Xi and said, "I will go to Lie Heiwu City tomorrow, report your household registration, and more or less have a piece of land to plant, so that you will not starve to death." ”

Looking at the back of Daddy Wu's departure, Wu Xi sighed and muttered to himself: "In the past, when there were many people, they were all ghosts, but now there are more ghosts, but people have become real." ”

The pharmacy in Siwu City needs a lot of firewood to boil herbs, and as long as you take the firewood, most of it will be collected, and you don't have to worry about selling it.

The worry is about the upper household registration.

The geographical location of Siwu City is very embarrassing, it changed hands several times between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and the county magistrate Hu Yihu who was sent to take office was shocked three times a day, for fear that the Western Xia soldiers would suddenly come to the city in the middle of the night, so the main things in ordinary times are managed by the main book.

Liu Yancheng, the chief bookkeeper, is a local, and it is not appropriate to take this kind of thing seriously if he has experienced too much, so he just takes this opportunity to monopolize power and make a good profit.

Under normal circumstances, the magistrates are part-time soldiers and horses are imprisoned or imprisoned to manage the military, but the situation here is different, because it is a border area, so there is a special army stationed.

The military commander stationed in Tokyo is a son of Cai Jing who came down from Tokyo, named Cai Rong, because this is the third line of defense, so only 2,000 permanent troops are stationed, and it is just for show.

If the Tangut people really came over, they would have dispersed long ago, and the people here would have been accustomed to it, and they would not have any hope of resistance to these military masters.

I heard that an old man came to Shuangxi Village today to apply for a household registration for his long-lost son, God knows if this son who came out of thin air is a spy of Western Xia, this matter is really not easy to handle.

Daddy Wu exchanged the money from selling firewood for gifts and carried it in his hand, wrapped in oilcloth a little shabby, and was embarrassed to stand in the courtyard of the county magistrate waiting for the call of the magistrate.

Dutou Cao Hui had already received a report from Chang Wangchun, the head of Shuangxi Village, that a young man had recently come to the village, and he was afraid that it was not a good way to come.

At this time, Cao Hui and the magistrate were eating watermelon to escape the summer while talking.

"Do you mean that this Wu Fuqi is a Nine Palaces Hurting Destiny?" asked the magistrate.

"Yes, for many years, no one in the village has been associated with him, and he lives alone on the whole stone mountain. Cao Hui waved his hand, and his servants withdrew.

"Then this account is really not good, in case he really colludes with the Xixia people to harm us, we will lose more than we gain. The magistrate took a bite of the watermelon, put the watermelon skin still in the copper basin on the table, touched the belly, picked up another piece and gnawed it.

Then the subordinate sent him away. As he spoke, he turned around and was about to go out.

"Wait. ”

"What else do you have to say?" Cao Hui asked, turning around.

"It's cheap to let him go, go directly to the prison, wait for the fate, send someone to Shuangxi Village to arrest the kid too, and always say the reason, otherwise I, the magistrate, will be in vain. "The little Jiujiu in Hu Yihu's heart played very well.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, and they formed a tacit understanding.

Father Wu would never have dreamed that he would be imprisoned, it seems that the fate of this Nine Palaces is really not an ordinary back.

Wu Xi was sitting on the big bluestone where Daddy Wu often sits, singing popular tunes in later generations, waiting for Daddy Wu to come back.

Wu Xi probably also knew that this matter would not be as easy as Father Wu said, and it would obviously not work to change a large piece of land with a bundle of firewood.

Coupled with the expression on the face of the village chief Chang Wangchun, you are finished, and Daddy Wu will not be able to come back.

After singing the song and settling the yellow dog, he came to the door of the village chief's house with a woodcutter.

There happened to be a whetstone in front of their house, and Wu Xi didn't speak, but poured a little water on the whetstone, and put the firewood knife on it to sharpen it with a strange sound.

Once the seeds of obscenity are planted in the human body, they are connected to the bones, and Chang Wangchun's body is very revealing.

Chang Wangchun didn't know what it meant for this kid to sharpen his knife in front of his house in broad daylight, but in general, he always had no good intentions when he came with a knife.

"What do you want to do, before you commit murder, you have to think about it, killing people is to pay for your life. Chang Wangchun's heart is also bottomless.

"How many of us have the Xixia people killed, why don't you go to him to pay for your life?" Wu Xi said.

"Could it be that you are a spy sent by Xixia?" Chang Wangchun deliberately said very highly, so that the neighbors around him could hear it, and if the arrest came in a while, he could testify to himself.

"What you say is what you say, I came today to tell you that if Daddy Wu has something long and short, you won't have to live anymore, and the whole village will be buried for him. ”

Wu Xi said it ruthlessly, and goosebumps appeared on Chang Wangchun's body when he heard it.

Fortunately, the big brother arrived in time, otherwise I really don't know how it ended.

"Catch Brother quickly, this is the spy of Western Xia, hurry up and catch it and cut off his head. Chang Wangchun said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you say you cut off your head, it doesn't count if you say it, it doesn't count if I say it, the county lord says it. ”

That unhappiness seems to have a sense of justice, and it can be used to find a breakthrough.

"Auntie, pull your neckline up, the village chief is going to be hahaha, hahaha......" Wu Xi didn't forget to make trouble for the village chief when he left.

Hahaha......
