Chapter 6: Eating all day long
Recently, the villagers of Niujia Village noticed that the homeless people in the village no longer visit the door during meals, and their hearts are much more relaxed for a while. When cooking rice, they dared to open the courtyard door, children dared to run around with rice bowls, the poultry in the village did not fly away without seeing people, and the peaceful mountain village finally returned to its former tranquility. All this is because the Pixiu who was rescued by Erniu who only eats and doesn't pull has been a lot quieter recently.
The hearts of the mountain people are already simple, coupled with the fact that Ye Zhiqiu is smiling when he looks at everyone, with the tattered clothes, and the thin body that can lie in front of you without crutches, people can't stop feeling unbearable at first sight. Every time I went to the door, those villagers had an irrepressible thing called kindness churning in their hearts, and they felt that their conscience would not be able to get over if they didn't give some food. But the problem is that every time this goods are on the table, none of the whole family can eat enough, and in the end, the entire Niujia Village is closed to change the time to cook, for fear that Ye Zhiqiu will find out which house has started the fireworks, and then go to the door on crutches to find someone to chat, and it is easy to starve with him!
"Yes, finally a little human!" Ye Zhiqiu looked at the palm of the skeleton that seemed to have a layer of flesh and skin, and muttered to himself. Since deciding to dig food from the mountains and forests, Ye Zhiqiu has found a lot of usable vegetation, and two days ago, he also found a wild ginseng with a thick arm. In the end, these things were sacrificed to the belly for the first time in the Five Organs Temple, although now from the appearance of his body is still a skeleton, but his physical functions have recovered a lot, and even more enhanced than when he sat in the laboratory before.
Now he can go deeper into the mountains and forests, after all, a person's physique is also an important factor in determining courage. It is said that there is no guts where the yield comes from, not to mention that it is for your own stomach problems, even if it is worth taking a little risk. Yesterday also used the trap to catch a lonely little wild boar, this morning cut half to the two cows to send over, moved the two cow tears almost did not fall, called not in vain to save him, if he is still young, I don't know that I thought it was his own son who had raised for many years and now came to do his filial piety. Ye Zhiqiu was embarrassed, so in order not to be more embarrassed, he stayed at Erniu's house for a meal at Erniu's warm invitation, and by the way, he also stewed the other half of the wild boar that he originally wanted to give to the village chief of Niu.
"Now that the body is slowly starting to recover, it's time to take a good look at the world, and by the way, think about how to go in the future." Ye Zhiqiu lay on a pile of thatch and began to think, although he was still hungry, he no longer had the feeling of extreme heartburn like before, and he could still bear it for a while, and he could think normally recently, no longer thinking about where there was food all day long, or which villager started a fire again.
After thinking about it for many days, Ye Zhiqiu decided to raise his body again, at least not to look like a skeleton like he was now. If this honor goes to those big towns, it is estimated that it is easy to be directly killed and thrown into mass graves, after all, not everyone in every place is as kind as Niujia Village, and he finally survived the catastrophe, and he is really unwilling to die on this.
"I heard that there is an old gentleman who teaches in the village, and recently he has been teaching the children in the village to read, and he is also going to Lala, after all, I am also a Kochi, and I can't become illiterate when I get here!" After setting a small goal for himself to get rid of blindness, Ye Zhiqiu fell asleep in the wind of insects.
In the next period of time, the people of the entire Niujia Village found that the Pixiu at the head of the village seemed to be changing every day, and the body that was originally about to take three breaths when he walked two steps with his crutches slowly became brisk and like flying, and the skull-like dark yellow face gradually began to have some ruddy, and gradually there was a feeling of abundance and handsomeness on Ye Zhiqiu's body, and the villagers didn't know how to describe it, so they felt that this sick seedling was not difficult to look really good-looking.
Originally, after so many years of scientific research career, Ye Zhiqiu had a scholarly anger in his body, coupled with the impact of values from different worlds, which made him have a temperament that was incompatible with this world. The villagers didn't know how to describe it, but they felt more and more that this Pixiu seemed to be a little different from them, not to mention that Pixiu and the old pedant from the village seemed to be very close recently. Reading and not being able to fill your stomach, which idler in the village has time to learn that thing, and has the kung fu to learn how to put down a set to add some meat to the family.
In the blink of an eye, it has been five years since Ye Zhiqiu came here, relying on sending some game to the old master Yu in the village every three or five days, and the ink in the old man's stomach has been unteachable in recent years, and even some academic questions raised at some times have shocked the old master Yu, and recommended him to go to the school in the city for further study several times.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu gradually returned to his normal appearance, his long hair was held back by a jasper-like wooden hairpin, and his appearance recovered again after the baptism of space looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he wandered in the mountains all day long, his face was not rough in the slightest blown by the mountain wind, but should be as white as a warm jade, which made his originally well-sensed face every time he passed by the village, and from time to time the old ladies in the village laughed. Now this appearance can be described in Ye Zhiqiu's own words, it can simply be called: Mo Shangren is like a jade son, and the world is unparalleled! If it weren't for the tattered clothes that were really out of temperament, and Dao was really good-looking, it was no wonder that when he first joined the work, many of the ignorant girls in the company secretly sent him autumn waves.
once again rejected Old Master Yu's hint that he wanted to accept him as a disciple. In Ye Zhiqiu's words: Lao Tzu really wants to be friends with you, but you especially want to be Lao Tzu's elder, it's not enough to take advantage, is this a special thing that people do?
However, he was concerned about Old Master Yu's suggestion that he go to the county seat to study, of course, he was not interested in reading, but wanted to further contact with the world, he couldn't just stay in this place for the rest of his life to drink the wind, although Erniu and Niu Village Chief thought that their ancestors were like this for a while, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Ye Zhiqiu gradually couldn't bear this peaceful life.
Thanks to the strengthening of his physical fitness, Ye Zhiqiu renovated his thatched house, and even used the open-pit coal mine found by the river to build a mini brick kiln. Anyway, being idle is idle, and in the end, he was stunned to give himself a brick house with three rooms, which caused a sensation in the entire Niujia Village for a while.
Ye Zhiqiu found that the resources of this world were too rich, and within a radius of twenty or thirty miles, he found an open-pit coal mine, two small gold mines and several other metal deposits, and the content was not bad. He wondered how these deposits could be born in such close proximity, perhaps this is the normal ecology in this world.
And now the whole Niujia Village is also very different from the previous appearance, almost every house is a tall brick house, anyway, the villagers are worthless in strength, with this kind of good things made from local materials, who doesn't use it as soon as possible, isn't it stupid? Later, Ye Zhiqiu simply put out the terracotta, and for a time the entire Niujia Village took on a new look, and at a glance it looked like the feeling of the urban-rural junction in the eighties and nineties in China, so that Ye Zhiqiu often missed his hometown more and more, and the feeling of being alone in a foreign land as a stranger has always made him very melancholy.
It is also because of the good performance of the bricks and tiles, after building the house according to Ye Zhiqiu's guidance, the villagers no longer have to repair the roof after every wind and rain as before, so they are more and more kind to Ye Zhiqiu. No, several old ladies in the village have been planning to tell Ye Zhiqiu about family affairs recently, if it weren't for the fact that the girls who were introduced were either crooked melons and cracked dates or tiger backs, he was so scared that he decisively refused, it is estimated that Ye Zhiqiu's children will be able to play soy sauce at this time.
"This stone is so hot that our ancestors didn't know that this kind of stone could still burn fire when they lived in the village!" Erniu looked at the fire and was amazed.
"I have long let you have nothing to do with Old Master Yu to study, save you from learning every day, this is called charcoal, it is more resistant to burning than firewood, and it is more convenient to store, and the fire temperature is higher than that of firewood, which is especially suitable for smelting some iron tools!" Ye Zhiqiu tried his best to explain to him in a way that Er Niu could understand.
"I can't learn, I can't open my eyelids when I see that thing, how can I learn?" Erniu was upright and arrogant, which made Ye Zhiqiu think of the worst scumbag in the class, compared to Erniu's appearance at this time, those scumbags can be regarded as a good student.
"Bounce the wind, learn to do it, and you can fight it yourself in the future!" For Erniu, who theoretically saved his life, Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what to do. After all, most of the talents of the scumbags are born like the top students, and Ye Zhiqiu is not arrogant enough to think that he can easily change them. After all, it was God's life and had nothing to do with him, but within the scope of his ability, he still hoped that Erniu could have a skill to be able to be around. He was going to leave here one day, and he could only try his best to find a way to let Erniu learn more before he left.
"Can you really make that particularly sharp scimitar as you say?" Erniu pulled up the bellows with doubts, I have to say that Erniu has a good strength, the charcoal fire in the furnace will not be long before it emits a dazzling white light, Ye Zhiqiu poured the collected materials into the furnace and then added the auxiliary materials he prepared in turn, and after closing the furnace mouth below, he silently counted the time in his heart.
As a former high-achieving student of the Department of Materials, and has presided over a number of new material research, it is naturally not a trouble to smelt and purify this basic material, and three days later, Ye Zhiqiu made two scimitars and a Tang knife.
He gave one of the scimitars to the happy Erniu, and sent him to tinker with it according to the recipe he had given before.
The scimitar was tied to Ye Zhiqiu's leg to ensure that it could be pulled out quickly at any time, and after making a simple scabbard for the Tang knife, it was hung on the waist, and then he practiced the chopping of the Tang knife regularly every day, and some uses of the scimitar. It's a little hard for him to pick it up all of a sudden.
Although Ye Zhiqiu doesn't quite remember the martial arts routines he learned before the Qing Dynasty, he also knows that a movement that is repeated thousands of times will become instinct, and there is an ancient admonition left by the ancestors that a thousand moves will not be as good as one move, so he will not choose those too complicated routines, just to be able to have a means to save his life when he walks in this world, so he picked a few moves that he still remembered, and those forbidden moves that the master specially explained that they should not be used unless necessary.
He doesn't know what kind of world this world is, but according to his deliberate inquiries these days, he also knows that it is not very peaceful, at least it is too normal for a few people to die in the wilderness, and as the most well-informed old master in the village, he has been to Fucheng in the farthest place, and I heard that it is relatively safe there, but it seems that it is not easy to survive.
This kind of calm and regular days passed for more than half a year, until Ye Zhiqiu could ensure that his body could hit the target at the fastest speed under any circumstances, and cut the throat of a black bear of more than 300 catties in the mountains and forests, he carried all the things he needed to carry on his back and set foot in the direction of Fucheng in the early morning when the sun had not yet risen.
