Chapter 1: Troubled Times
Yuan Shanshan was woken up by a pleasant birdsong.
Yuan Shanshan moved slightly, only to feel a splitting headache, and it took a long time to recover.
Propping himself up and looking around, this dimly lit room has only a papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, Yuan Shanshan is ecstatic, this is a success!
But Yuan Shanshan didn't know where the joy came from.
Put on the shoes under the bed, the hair is scattered, it has reached the level of waist-length hair, dark and healthy, and it is well groomed.
Walking to the door and lifting the curtain, a pungent smell of fermentation rushed to her face, and Yuan Shanshan blocked her mouth and nose with her hand.
"Yo! Girl, you're awake. β
An old man, who was washing rice at this time, called out when he saw her awake.
At this time, Yuan Shanshan was looking confused, looking at the huge jars placed around, wrapped in blankets.
Yuan Shanshan approached and asked, "What is this?"
The old man put down the work in his hand and smiled at Yuan Shanshan, the old man was fat and very affinity, Yuan Shanshan felt that he was very much like a person, but he forgot who he was like.
"What about winemaking, does the girl drink wine?" The old man said kindly, saying this to tease her.
Yuan Shanshan was moved by his loving smile and grinned, "I don't know, why do you brew so much wine?" Finished drinking? β
When the old man heard this, he was sad, and said bitterly: "In this troubled world, half of the wine brewed is given to the soldiers, and the remaining half is exchanged for silver taels, and half of the silver obtained will be taxed. β
Hearing this, Yuan Shanshan felt sorry, and suddenly thought of asking him: "What is the name of the old man." β
"It's good if you call me Yuan Lao, they all call me that." Yuan Lao returned to his kind expression: "What should I call that girl?" β
"My name is ......" Yuan Shanshan couldn't think of her name, "I don't know, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things, I... Can't remember. β
"If you can't remember, don't think about it, what is there to remember in this troubled world, just look forward." An old woman walked in through the door.
The old woman held a bamboo basket full of fruits, but because of malnutrition, they all grew strangely.
"This is my wife, Tian." Yuan Lao introduced.
The old woman was also as kind as Yuan Lao.
"Hello Granny Tian." Yuan Shanshan screamed sweetly, she didn't know why this happened, maybe it was because of habit.
"Alas, good, good." Tian smiled and blossomed.
She and Yuan Lao have two children, but they are both boys, and they have already joined the army, and they have not come back a few times a year.
Tian took Yuan Shanshan's hand, Yuan Shanshan was a little taller than her: "Good boy, since you don't remember anything, let's stay here for the time being, the eldest and second have gone to join the army, and they just left a vacant room, and then go back when they remember, what do you think, old man?" β
Yuan Lao was naturally willing: "I have no opinion, it's very chaotic outside, and it's really unsafe for her to be a girl." β
Yuan Shanshan also had self-knowledge, and said sweetly: "Thank you Yuan Laotian's mother-in-law for taking her in." β
No one is having a good time in this troubled world, they also took in Yuan Shanshan, Yuan Shanshan is grateful, and when she recovers her memory, she must repay them well.
Tian suddenly thought of something, let go of Yuan Shanshan's hand, lifted the curtain that served as the door, walked into the room, and put a piece of cloth on the table, there was something in the bread, Tian picked it up.
Came to Yuan Shanshan and handed this to her, Tian said kindly: "You fainted under the big tree in the yard at the beginning, this is what you have, give it to you." β
Yuan Shanshan took the thing, took a deep breath and slowly opened it.
There was a silver hairpin inside, and under the hairpin was a purse, and Yuan Shanshan suddenly remembered something.
There is a finger-thick steel pipe in the purse, and the deep bottom is full of iron balls, as long as the iron balls are put into the tube, and then the mechanism is activated, its lethality is not inferior to that of a pistol, which is very suitable for long-range attacks.
Yuan Shanshan picked up the purse, and it was not as heavy as she imagined.
However, when picking up the hairpin, some memories flooded into Yuan Shanshan's brain
In the future, the earth has been destroyed to the point that most of the animals and plants are extinct, and most of the rest are endangered, scientists predict that it will not last for 20 years, and the biological DNA preserved by our ancestors was destroyed by an explosion in the war.
It's not that I haven't thought about immigrating to other planets, but the consumption of resources can no longer withstand the damage caused by immigration.
β¦β¦β¦β¦ Yes, Yuan Shanshan remembered it all.
"Girl, girl?" Tian looked at Yuan Shanshan for a long time and didn't come to his senses, and felt a little panicked.
As soon as he came back to his senses, he heard Tian's call, "Huh? It's okay, it's okay. β
"Do you remember something?" Tian asked, "Do you remember what your name is?" β
Yuan Shanshan hesitated and shook her head in frustration, because she didn't know what her name was.
Tian comforted: "When I found you, you were lying under the cedar tree in the yard, so let's call you Shanshan for the time being." β
"Shanshan ......" Yuan Shanshan kept chewing on the name in her mouth, familiar and unfamiliar, and then Yuan Shanshan happily agreed: "Okay!" It's called Shanshan, thank you Granny Tian. β
At this time, Yuan Shanshan noticed the fruit in Granny Tian's hand again, obviously trying her best to hide her desire, but she was still caught by Tian.
Tian took out the largest and best looking pear from it and gave it to Yuan Shanshan, and said gently: "Eat, I just picked it." β
Yuan Shanshan took the pear, thanked her, put it to her mouth and took a bite, a taste that she had never tasted filled her mouth, Tian saw that Yuan Shanshan liked it, and her heart bloomed happily.
At this time, a woman's voice came in, and before anyone could see the voice, they arrived first: "Old Yuan! Give me two taels of wine. β
The door was opened, and an old woman walked in, slightly chubby, with a happy face, and saw Yuan Shanshan stunned for a moment, and asked happily: "Yo!" Whose girl is this, she looks so pretty. β
Neither husband nor wife knew what to say about this question.
Yuan Lao walked over and took the wine gourd in Wang Cui's hand, and didn't say anything, just walked to the wine jar to drink, intending to hand over this question to Tian Shi to answer.
Tian's brain was also spinning quickly, and he greeted Wang with a smile and said, "In-laws, come here for a few days, but you, is there anything good?" β
Wang Cui suddenly realized, with an irrepressible smile on his face, and said: "The day after tomorrow, my family's iron pillar will come back, I heard that it will be with your family Yuan Hua and Yuan Xian!" β
Hearing this, Yuan Lao stopped what he was doing, and the Wang family was also stunned, because they had to digest the good news.
Wang Shi let out a happy voice, and said even more excitedly: "Really! Great, they're finally coming back. β
Wang Cui covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "The letter said that the war situation in the frontier has come to an end for the time being, and it is estimated that I will come back to live for a while this time." β
This sudden news made the couple at a loss, counting the days, the last time the brothers came back was a year ago, and now another year has passed, and I don't know what happened to them.
Wang Cui saw Tian like this, and quipped: "Our family's Tiezhu letter said that your son has repeatedly won military exploits on the battlefield, and the confusion is also popular." β
"Those of us who are parents don't want him to be outstanding in battle, as long as he is safe." There were some tears in Tian's eyes, and he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Look at me, an old fool, I have been letting you stand, come and come, come in and sit." β
Wang Cui waved his hand and refused: "No, no, I should go back after drinking, my family is still waiting for me." β
Yuan Lao quickly filled the wine gourd and gave it to Wang Cui, who took the gourd, opened the lid and smelled it, and exclaimed.
"Yuan Lao's winemaking skills are getting better and better! Then I'll go. β
Wang Cui put the money in Tian's hand, and then walked outside.
When everyone was gone, they were still standing there, looking outside, as if their children would come out of the next second.
Yuan Shanshan took advantage of this gap to coil up her hair and wake them up: "Old Yuan? Granny Tian! β
Hearing Yuan Shanshan's call, the couple reacted, and they were still at a loss when they came back to their senses, this news seemed to have broken their previous life rules.
Tian smiled and pointed outside: "Hungry, I'll cook." β
"I'm going to fill the wine!" Yuan Lao walked towards the wine jar.
Tian went out, Yuan Lao also came to the wine altar, but the two of them have been absent-minded, Yuan Shanshan is both funny and distressed, parting for many years, which parents will not miss day and night, worry about their children every night, and now the child is finally coming back, how can anyone not be excited.
When she came to Yuan Lao's side, Yuan Shanshan saw that the wine fished out was turbid, and thought: It turns out that the ancients were really turbid wine, no wonder there is a poem about a glass of turbid wine, but won't this wine affect the taste?
