Chapter 772 - The Second Choice of Relatives
"After waiting for a few months, the family sending team has finally arrived in our village!" My cousin was very excited, after all, she was young, her physical strength was poor, and she had a lot of difficulty doing farm work, and if she could have more sisters-in-law in the family, she could help her share a lot.
With the help of my cousin, I left the house and hurried to the threshing floor in the east of the village.
Because of the years of war, most of the young men in the village have been conscripted into the army.
Including me, there are only four unmarried older young people in the whole village, who are nicknamed the "Four Great Sons".
The other three, one with a somewhat low intelligence, is known as the "stupid boy".
A long and short leg, known as the "lame man".
There is also a deaf-mute man, known as the "deaf man".
Originally, I was a talented person and was not among them, but because of eye problems, I basically became a waste, and gradually I was named "Childe" by the children in the village, known as "Blind Boy".
"Yo, today is really a happy day, the 'Four Princes' of our village have been gathered!"
"This has to be put in the past, people like them can also get a daughter-in-law? That's a bargain for them!"
"Don't say that, Wu Gongzi, he is a talent after all!"
"What else would he do besides studying? I can't even plant the land, and now I'm blind again, and I'm a wasted person, a dignified man, with hands and feet, and a little girl to take care of him, it's not a shame!"
The people who came to see the excitement were all women left behind in the village, watching our "four princes" come crookedly, chattering in whispers.
If it were the usual, I would have to debate with these long-tongued women, but today, I didn't have that interest, I just didn't hear it, Su Yao's little mouth was not given for nothing, and I wanted to step forward to reply, but I was also pulled back.
I'm just short-sighted, and I'm not really blind, when the light is very good, I can still see clearly when I squint, and along the way, I have tried to use the true qi running method of my previous life to dredge the blockage of eye stagnation, which is very effective, and the degree of myopia has dropped from more than two years to about 500 degrees, and within one meter, I can see my cousin's clear face.
The team of relatives is approaching, led by an official on horseback, holding a white flag in his arms, with this vermilion word written on it, it may be a marriage word, followed by four officials on foot, no flag, but outside the official uniform, are obliquely draped with a red ribbon, proving that they are different from other official teams, it is specially for sending relatives, behind the official officer, followed by two donkey carts, and there are seven or eight girls with luggage packages sitting on the car.
The village chief trotted up to greet him, and greeted the official on horseback, who was a little impatient and urged Li Zheng to start choosing a family quickly.
Maybe he was afraid of getting dark, this is the northwest border of Yi Kingdom, close to the territory of the Mobei Demon Clan, after nightfall, the demons are infested, and they are extremely dangerous.
"Wow! Brother, you are really blessed to have two young ladies, who are so beautiful!" My cousin's eyes are much better than mine.
"Oh? How beautiful is it?" I tried to squint and look in the direction of the greeting team, the distance was a bit far, and I couldn't see the specific appearance clearly.
"I haven't read so many books from my brother, I don't know how to describe it, anyway, I've never seen such a beautiful sister!" My cousin said excitedly.
However, when the girls got out of the car, the cousin shook her head and said regretfully, "It's a pity, it's a pity......
"What is a pity?" I hurriedly asked.
"It's a pity that both of them are "big feet", no wonder no one married and was given away."
"Bigfoot?" I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but think of the image of a deceased female artist, but soon, he searched for relevant information from my ancient memory bank.
Although Kyushu and Yanxia are parallel time and space, many cultural customs, including language and writing, are very similar.
When I fused the historical knowledge of the two worlds between the two, I was surprised to find that in the ancient history, the two worlds actually have a very high degree of consistency.
People in the 21st century know that King Wu succeeded in defeating the Shang Dynasty, and the Western Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty.
But in this parallel world, King Wu's war failed, or it was not completely successful, so that the Zhou and Shang countries existed side by side, because the Central Plains failed to complete the unification, and the historical trend behind was completely changed, there was no Spring and Autumn Warring States, and there was no Qin and Han Three Kingdoms and Two Jins, and it has been passed down to the present, and it has a history of more than two years, and on the timeline, it is equivalent to the Song Dynasty in the Zheng Dynasty.
