Chapter 002: Liu's Mother Cui's Clan

According to the memories of his predecessors, Liu An knew that the place he was in was Liujia Village, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, under the rule of Youzhou of the Han Empire (Note).

The predecessor's name is also Liu An, his father Liu Li, and his grandfather Liu Fei.

It looks ordinary, and there is nothing worthy of Liu An's attention.

But after careful recollection, Liu An found a familiar name in his memory, Liu Bei.

Judging from the information in memory, the relationship between Liu An and Liu Bei is that of uncle and nephew.

Liu An is an uncle, and Liu Bei is a nephew.

But Liu An's age is only 16 years old this year, while Liu Bei is 21 years old this year.

This slightly strange relationship starts with Liu Bei's great-great-grandfather, that is, Liu An's great-grandfather - Liu Budo.

Fengling Hou Liu Budo has two sons, namely Liu Fei, Marquis of Qianxing and Liu Hui, Marquis of Jichuan.

Liu Huisheng Liu Xiong, Liu Xiong gave birth to Liu Hong, Liu Hongsheng Liu Bei.

Liu Fei's life is not as good as Liu Hui, he only got a son Liu Li in old age, Liu Li is not in good health, he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he only had Liu An in his 20s, and he died of illness less than a year later.

After all, he didn't break the incense of his own vein, and Liu Li left with peace of mind after Liu An was born.

So there is Liu An, who is 16 years old, but is the cousin of Liu Bei, who is already 21 years old.

Of course, not only that, Liu An's seniority is extremely large in the entire Liujia Village.

Don't look at him as only 16 years old, but he can call many people in the village who are already in their thirties and forties.

Recalling his cousin Liu Bei who had his ears hanging down his shoulders and his hands over his knees in his memory, Liu An clearly realized that he had really come to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, an era of turbulence and heroes.

However, the current Liu Anke has no heart to think about anything to dominate the world and achieve great things.

After the excitement brought by the system passed, Liu An once again felt the protest of the Five Organs Temple, and even the exploration of the system had to wait for a while, he had to get up to find something to eat.

Otherwise, he was afraid that if he waited a little longer, he might have to cross again.

Crunch~~ Pushing open the dilapidated and somewhat scattered wooden door, Liu An walked out of the dim and damp room.

"My son? Hungry, right? Come and eat porridge! ”

In front of the earthen house was a stove, and by the stove stood a woman dressed in sackcloth.

Obviously, her hair is still jet black, but there are already many wrinkles on her face and hands, and she looks as old as an old man in his fifties.

Liu An knew that this was his mother Cui in this life.

Liu Li has been sick since he was a child, and almost all the rest of his family's wealth was used to treat Liu Li.

Cui's family worked hard to raise Liu An, and now in addition to these two earthen houses, there are only two acres of Zhongtian left.

The harvest of two acres of Zhongtian is not enough for the two of them to live, and in their spare time, Cui's family goes to Liu Bei's house to help weave straw mats and straw sandals, and can get a reward of 5 yuan a day, so the mother and son can barely survive.

Cui Shi said as she picked up the bowl that had been washed on the stove and served Liu An a bowl of porridge, her face full of love and doting.

"Has Mother eaten?" Liu An walked over and glanced at the pot, there was no porridge in it, obviously Cui had already eaten it.

When I looked at my bowl again, it was full of thick porridge.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu An knew that she must have taken the full amount of thin soup as her breakfast.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, it is just a bowl of porridge.

But Liu An, who has fully accepted the memories of his predecessor, understands that his family is so poor that he can't open the pot, if both of them have a thick porridge, then the food in the family will have bottomed out long ago.

The predecessor is young, and he is only 16 years old after the New Year this year, and Cui's has always spoiled him excessively, leaving him with good things, but never telling him bad things, and his predecessor naturally doesn't know the difficulties at home.

But Liu An in his body now is the soul of an adult, and some things are clear at a glance.

The memories received from her predecessor told Liu An that the Cui family in front of her was only 35 years old this year, but the skin on her face and hands looked older than Liu An's forty or fifty-year-old women in her previous life.

This can't help but make Liu An sigh.

It is not only to sigh the difficulties of this world, but also to pity Cui's suffering.

Thinking that he had taken away his predecessor's body and caused him to die younger than his father, Liu An secretly made up his mind to take care of his mother instead of the original Liu An.

"My mother has already eaten, and my son can eat it." Cui Shi said with a smile.

Liu An didn't speak, took another bowl that had already been washed, poured half of the porridge in his bowl, and pushed it in front of Cui's body.

"Mother wants to go to Xuande's house to work, and she has no strength if she doesn't eat."

Seeing that Cui's was about to resign, Liu An immediately said indiscriminately: "If my mother doesn't eat this half bowl of porridge today, my son won't eat today." ”

Although he was uncomfortable with hunger, Liu An still insisted with a straight face.

"Hey." Cui Shi was silent for a moment and then replied, without saying anything more.

Pulling two stacked benches from the wall, one for Liu An and one for himself, sitting on the bench, Cui Shi slowly ate the porridge in the bowl.

Seeing this, Liu An breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting on the bench, without even holding chopsticks, he picked up the bowl and poured the porridge into his mouth.

The Han Dynasty implemented a separate meal system, that is, one person ate separately at one table.

But that's a patent that only belongs to people who have the capital, and the poor don't even have a case table, and they can't afford to eat, so they still share meals?

Half a bowl of porridge is not much, and it only takes two breaths to pour all the porridge in the bowl into his stomach.

The hunger in my stomach was relieved slightly, but it was clearly not full.

Liu An stood up and said to Cui's, "Mother, go out for a while." By the way, I'll use the yang sui at home. ”

Yang Sui is a copper concave mirror that can be used to make fire when the sun is clear.

However, since the invention of the fire sickle in the Zhou Dynasty, most families with conditions have begun to use the fire sickle and flint to make fire.

"Hey. The sun is in my house, and my son will go and get it. Cui Shi answered, and didn't ask Liu An what to do, but just instructed: "Be careful, don't hurt your body." ”

Liu An is similar to his father, although he is not sick, but he has been weak since childhood.

Therefore, Cui's has always loved his son, as long as Liu An's safety is not a problem, everything will be left to him.

When he came to Cui's room, Liu An took Yang Sui and said to Cui's again and walked towards the outside of the village, he wanted to find a quiet place that would not be disturbed by others, and study the system well.

After Liu An left, Cui's family, who was silently eating the thick porridge in the bowl, suddenly stopped, she looked at the remaining thick porridge in the bowl, and tears suddenly wet the corners of her eyes.

But a gentle smile appeared on her face.

-------------------------------------

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Liu An found a hillside sheltered from the wind and the sun.

Because it was still early, everyone had breakfast at home, so Liu An didn't meet any acquaintances on the road.

After picking up some hay and twigs nearby, and making a fire with a flint, he lit a small fire in front of him.

While baking the fire to keep warm, while basking in the gradually warming sun, Liu An called the system in his heart.

[System, is it there?] ]

[Is there anything the host can help with?] As soon as Liu An asked, the system replied.

[I'm so hungry, please help me get some food.] Liu An followed his heart and said subconsciously.

Note: In the Romance TV series, it is said that Liu Bei's village is called Lousang Village, but there is no evidence
