Chapter 2: The Coming of Disaster

From the memories of his predecessor, Xu Chuan knew a lot of things.

At first, he thought he had traveled back in time, but later confirmed that it seemed to be a parallel world.

Like the ancient times before the crossing, this continent also has a long history, with a history similar to that of the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States.

After hundreds of years of war, the entire continent was unified by a single country, and after the unification, dynasties were ups and downs, and finally evolved into what it is today.

Now the three great powers of Wu, Chu and Zhao are divided into the mainland, and the pattern is somewhat similar to the period of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Wu occupied the north, and Chu and Zhao divided the south.

And the location where he is now is at the junction of the borders of the three major countries, a place called the 'Three Regardless Zone'.

According to the map of China, the Sanzhi area is probably located in the Dongting Lake area, that is, Xiangyang, Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period.

As you can tell from the name 'Three Regardless Zone', this is a place that has been abandoned.

Because it is located at the junction of the three countries, it is used as a buffer zone.

In the past, the three countries also tried to include this place in the territory of their own countries, because the area of the three areas is quite large, which is larger than the previous county.

But no matter which country tries to send troops here, it will be beaten back by the other two countries, and after tossing back and forth a few times, plus the miasma and poisonous insects of the mountains and forests are everywhere, there is no country here.

So the three-regardless zone has become a real no-dad and no-mom zone.

And because of this, it has become a safe haven for those fleeing the famine, fleeing the war or wandering homeless.

After the accumulation of development, there are tens of thousands of people in Sanzhidi, and there is also a place to live together, but no one has named him, or simply called Sanzhi Town.

Sanzhi Town is not managed by the state, and naturally there is no protection from the state, so it is also a paradise for rogue bandits.

Whether it is a person with bad intentions, or a person who has committed a crime in the Three Kingdoms, or someone who has any problems, they have basically fled here, so there are more than a dozen gangs of robbers and robbers of all sizes living in the Sanzhi area.

These rogue robbers each occupied some hills, occupied the land as thieves, became bandits, and lived by robbing the town of Sanzhi and caravans passing by.

And the knives and iron-making cheats sold by the predecessor not only ended up in the hands of a nest of bandit bosses called 'Black Tiger Village'.

The Black Tiger Village is a relatively large group of bandits in the Sanzhi Zone, and the number of bandits in the village exceeds 4,000.

When the book recording the iron-making technique arrives in the other party's hand, it is basically impossible to get it back.

This is the reason why his grandfather smoked him a second time without saying a word after finding out the news.

......

If it was just a simple loss of books, the old man would not be so angry.

But it would be bad if the book that recorded the iron-making technique fell into the hands of the bandits.

If the thieves were lucky, they didn't dig through the books in the mezzanine, or were not interested in them, and burned them as firewood or threw them in the corner.

If it is unfortunate, the Xu family will usher in another catastrophe, and it will even involve the entire Sanzhi area.

Because what is written in that book is very important.

That's something that the Xu family has been researching for generations.

The ancestors of the Xu family settled in Xujia Village in the northern Wu Kingdom, and their ancestors have made a living by striking iron for generations, and the quality of the iron tools produced is excellent, and it has a prominent reputation abroad.

After several generations of accumulation and efforts, Xujiacun has researched a new way of striking iron more than ten years ago.

They made a tall furnace that could smelt thousands of pounds of iron at once.

This iron-making method is called blast furnace iron-making by the Xu family.

But the blast furnace ironmaking technology that was supposed to bring wealth brought wealth brought disaster to Xujia Village.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and the news that Xujiacun has developed a new and efficient way to strike iron has somehow been revealed.

One day, a group of masked people came to Xujia Village, took the old and weak women in the village hostage, forced the people of the whole village to hand over the iron-striking technology, and let them migrate to make iron.

Although the people in Xujia Village are all men, the old, weak, women and children have no choice but to migrate.

However, before they could go far, another group of people appeared, indiscriminately shooting everyone, this time, hundreds of people in Xujia Village almost suffered a catastrophe, and only a very small number of people survived and fled to the three-way area where the border of the three countries is now located.

There are not many people who escaped, only a few people, and the descendants who escaped were only Xu Chuan, who was still a child at the time, and this was brought out by the men of Xujia Village who fought to cover it.

Although the people of Xujia Village have rarely had contact with the outside world for generations, they are not stupid and know that it is the new iron-striking technology in their hands that has caused trouble.

Therefore, after coming to the Sanzhi area, he sealed the blast furnace iron-making technology in his hand and pretended to be a displaced person fleeing the disaster.

Relying on the iron-striking technology inherited from generation to generation, more than ten years have passed, and the Xujia Village, which has united a few people, has also gained a firm foothold in this three-regardless area.

But he never thought that the sealed blast furnace ironmaking technology was stolen and sold by the predecessor.

......

After understanding the cause and effect, Xu Chuan's expression was a little stunned, and his melancholy was mixed with helplessness.

Forget about coming to this world inexplicably, and hit a big disaster at the beginning, although this disaster was caused by the predecessor, but it will be attributed to him.

However, Xu Chuan was not very panicked, because he was very familiar with this kind of opening method in novel TV.

In addition to being familiar, more importantly, he is also a 'double lonely'.

This so-called 'double orphan' does not mean that he has no father or mother, but that he is an 'orphan' before and after the crossing.

He grew up in an orphanage before the crossing, and after the crossing, his parents also died in the turmoil of the Wu Kingdom when he was very young.

According to the development of the plot in the novels and TV I have seen before, the next time is when Goldfinger appears to help him show his might, defeat the bandits, regain the cheats, and marry Bai Fumei to the pinnacle of life.

"Ahem!"

Sitting on the bed, Xu Chuan cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Come out, system!" ”

A not very loud voice sounded in the room, and Xu Chuan's face was slightly red, after all, this kind of thing still makes people feel a little ashamed.

For a long time, there was silence in the room.

There was no 'ding' sound in my head, and there was no sound of system loading or binding.

"System, I know you're here, come out quickly, your master needs your help now!"

After waiting for a while, Xu Chuan, who still didn't hear the sound, was a little panicked.

But there was still no sound in the quiet room, and if you listened closely, you could hear the cicadas chirping outside the courtyard, as if shouting something.

Sitting on the bed, Xu Chuan's head was about to break out in a cold sweat.

This kind of start, there is no system, and there is no golden finger, is the manager in charge of crossing the wrong person?

He's just an ordinary person, before he crossed over, he was just an ordinary office worker, the kind of ninety-nine-six.

This kind of heaven will descend on the Si people, and the protagonist copy that must first work his muscles and bones and work hard is not suitable for him.
