Chapter 1 Become a ghost king full of silver
In front of him, it was pitch black, and only a few bits of moonlight shone through the crack in the door into the broken cave.
Wang Manyin scratched the itch on his body, and felt a small pimple the size of a sesame seed. Then he put it to his lips and spitted back and forth.
I felt that I couldn't move, and I stretched out my thumb and squeezed it.
Boom......
In the silent broken kiln, the sound of fleas being crowded is particularly loud.
It also made him really feel that he was not dreaming.
It's been three days, and it seems that I can't go back!
Because of a high fever and coma, Wang Manyin woke up and became a famous "ghost" in "Ordinary World" - Wang Manyin, a second-rate son with the same name and surname as himself.
And accepted all the memories of the other party.
It's the autumn of sixty-eight now, and the predecessor has just been in love with Sun Lanhua for a few days.
Sun Yuhou learned that his eldest daughter had fallen in love with such a second-rate son, so he naturally disagreed.
He knew very well in his heart that if the orchid was true or false to the other party, it would be ruined for a lifetime.
But I can't bear the brains of my own eldest woman, if Wang Manyin doesn't marry, and he also says that he will die on the other party's door. Sun Laohan was really afraid that something would happen to Orchid, and his eldest son persuaded him on the side, so he could only hold his head and sigh, aggrieved and helpless to admit the marriage.
The two families have already discussed and will get married in the winter of this year.
"Ordinary World" is Mr. Lu Yao's masterpiece, and Wang Manyin has seen it many times.
He is naturally very familiar with the character of his predecessor. There is a classic evaluation on the Internet: "We all want to live as Sun Shaoan, but in the end we all become Wang Manyin."
If you look at it from the perspective of later generations, Wang Manyin has the courage and ideas, but he was born in the wrong era. The power of the individual is too small in the face of the rolling torrent of the times to be worth mentioning at all.
It's like a little worm, no matter how much it opens its teeth and claws, but it is crushed to death by a finger.
He was full of tragedy, unwilling, and struggled countless times, but he never found a direction.
failed again and again, and finally completely accepted his fate and chose to return to his family.
If he was born 20 years later, Wang Manyin would definitely be able to become a trendsetter of the times.
The days are far from over - it is now six or eight years, and there are still more than ten years before the package production is delivered to the household. At this time, farmers basically have no other way to go except digging in the soil. If you want to travel far away, you also need a letter of introduction and national food stamps.
If there is a choice, Wang Manyin certainly does not want to live a bad situation.
However, there is really no going back.
Life is like that, since you can't resist, you can only choose to accept it.
Instead of complaining, it is better to accept the gift of fate.
Fortunately, when he crossed over to this world, there was a mysterious space around him.
And this is also the biggest reliance.
Wang Manyin put on the torn cotton jacket again, grabbed the shovel leaning against the head of the bed, his heart moved slightly, and the objects in front of him had changed.
The space area is not large, and there are only about three acres of land at present. Although it was night, it was not as dark as outside, and the surroundings were shrouded in gray mist.
He stepped on the thick yellow earth under his feet, and felt that his whole body was beginning to warm up. The temperature difference between day and night on the Loess Plateau is large, especially now that it is late autumn, and the outside temperature at night is only three or four degrees.
The space is completely different, and it still remains more than ten degrees. Wang Manyin was wearing a torn cotton jacket, and he suddenly felt hot.
On the land not far away, the spring water that comes with the space is bubbling at a glance.
The water of the spring is clear, and it flows into a small pond 30 centimeters deep and hundreds of square meters.
There is a thick layer of moss growing on the edge of the pond, and there are large green plants more than ten centimeters high. There are wheat, sweet potato seedlings, corn seedlings, buckwheat, millet seeds, artichoke and some vegetable seedlings.
There are more than ten kinds of bits and pieces, all of which have been planted by Wang Manyin for experiments in the past few days. There are not many of them, but about a hundred or so plants.
Farther afield, there are quite a few weeds.
These are all three-day changes, and at the beginning, except for a spring in the space, there is a gray and abrupt yellow earth.
Of course, Wang Manyin knew that according to the time of farming outside, wheat and rape should be planted now. Crops such as corn, millet and sweet potatoes cannot survive the winter, and if the temperature is too low, they will freeze to death.
However, the temperature of the space is obviously much higher than outside, so he wants to do experiments and plan for the future.
Now it seems that the growth is very good for the time being, and the growth rate is far several times faster than the outside world.
If the experiment is successful, these more than three acres of land alone will be enough to fill one's stomach and reduce a lot of burden on the family.
After all, in these days, eating enough is always the most important thing. There are others that don't, Wang Manyin doesn't want to think about it at all.
As for the spring water, the water he used for cooking in the past few days was obtained from the space, and he didn't feel anything at all after drinking it.
According to Wang Manyin's speculation, the spring water may have an active substance similar to the growth juice, which is only effective for plants.
More than three acres of land, Wang Manyin only spent a few minutes to scan it.
Confirming that nothing was new, he picked up a shovel and dug a trench along the edge of the pond while thinking about how to maximize the benefits of space.
When it is uncertain whether the crops will be able to be successfully grown, it is of course best to breed them in space.
Wang Manyin initially had two plans, the first was to use spring ponds to raise fish.
Although the current pond area is only 100 square meters, it is not a problem to raise hundreds of fish.
Where do the key fry come from?
Although there is the Dongla River on the edge of the village, it is a seasonal river and often droughts and stops. In addition, the sediment content in the river is relatively large, and there are basically no fish to survive.
Because of this, the people in the countryside of Jar Village have never had the habit of eating fish. Not to mention eating, many people who have been digging in the soil all their lives have never even seen what a fish looks like.
This would have been unimaginable in the Hereafter...... Later, someone in Shuangshui Village successfully raised fish and sent a fish to every household in the village, but everyone didn't know how to do it, and many people were stuck in their throats by fish bones.
However, Wang Manyin learned from the memories he received that the lower reaches of the Dongla River flowed into the Wuding River and eventually emptied into the Yellow River. The big carp of the Yellow River has always been famous, so there must be fish in the Wuding River.
The water veins are inherited, and there is no reason why there are no fish in the Dongla River.
If you look closely, you should be able to find some fry.
The other is poultry and livestock.
Raising cattle and sheep was vetoed by Wang Manyin for the first time. At present, the space is too small, and the conditions are not available for the time being. On top of that, now lambs and calves are raised by production teams and cannot be bought by individuals.
If you make a fuss because of this, it's not cost-effective.
As for poultry, Wang Manyin plans to go to the market to get a few local chickens to raise.
With a space of more than three acres of land, if all of them are developed, it is more than enough to raise 100 local chickens, and eggs can be sold at that time.
However, Wang Manyin didn't plan to raise too much, after all, there are regulations that ordinary farmers can raise a maximum of five chickens, and no more than one chicken is possible.
If you take out too many eggs to sell one after another, it is easy to attract the attention of people who are interested and then get into unnecessary trouble.
For safety, not even in the pigeon market.
However, if you can catch pheasants, you can try to raise more. This thing is not domesticated now, and it is not a prohibited item, and it can be sold by the supply and marketing cooperative.
In addition, there are hares or something, and you can arrange it if you have the chance.
Wang Manyin remembers reading a news item on the Internet before the crossing, "The three rabbits retrieved by a man have bred nearly 100 rabbits in about 7 months."
The reproductive ability of wild rabbits is not as good as that of domestic rabbits, and there are three or four litters a year.
In short, the difficulties are temporary.
There is space, and the future is definitely promising.
The predecessor was not doing a proper job, and he didn't want to farm at all, and he has been running around and doing small business in the past few years.
Although he didn't make any money, he was also a round belly.
In Wang Manyin's view, this kind of life is not advisable. Wang Manyin has not been arrested for many years, he is just lucky, and if he continues to toss, he will definitely be dragged to "re-education through labor" by the militia team in the end, as in the original book.
If it weren't for the eldest uncle Sun Shao'an asking Tian Runye for help, the consequences would probably be even more serious.
So, it's best to find a decent job.
After all, he is about to get married.
However, no matter the predecessor or Wang Manyin, he had no intention of begging for a living in the soil.
The so-called hard work can get rich, which is always a beautiful fantasy.
Not to mention this era, even in later generations, which peasants really made a fortune by farming.
The eldest uncle, Sun Shao'an, is the most obvious example. He began to work on the family farm at the age of 6, and after graduating from high school at the age of 13, he followed his father to work hard in the production team.
This year is just seventeen, and it already belongs to the old style of working in Shuangshui Village. Shake, hoe, ridge all proficient, anyone in the village to see, must give a thumbs up and praise "good sufferer".
As a result, the family was busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, tired and tired, overspending and famine every year, and owed a debt to a river beach.
I haven't eaten a few good meals and haven't worn a decent dress.
In the end, the poor couldn't even afford to marry a daughter-in-law, so he could only retreat in the face of Tian Runye's show of love, and had no choice but to marry Xiulian, who didn't want bride price.
Therefore, it is impossible to farm the land.
Thinking about things in his heart, Wang Manyin was not slow to swing the shovel.
This is to work for your own family, of course, you have to be diligent.
In about half an hour, he had dug a new canal more than 20 meters long, and his stomach began to growl.
For dinner, Wang Manyin ate two corn nests and drank a big bowl of corn porridge. As a result, within two hours, there was no food in my stomach.
There is no way, the food is not oily and water, and I can't stand the hunger.
Especially for heavy work, digestion is faster.
After a few breaths of relief, he dug the mouth of the ditch with a shovel, and the rumbling water immediately flowed into the distance.
In a few moments, the entire ditch filled.
At this rate, it will take about a month to develop all the land in the space.
Returning to the cave, Wang Manyin continued to lie on the kang and stayed up all night wrapped in a broken quilt.
The night breeze poured down the broken windows of the cave, and the more a person slept, the colder it became.
In addition, the torn quilt is too small, covering the head and taking care of the feet. Cover your feet, your neck is cold.
Turning over, the quilt is poured into the wind at both ends.
Cold and hungry, unable to sleep at all, Wang Manyin suddenly understood why his predecessor wanted to marry a wife.
Don't say anything else, the two of them hold hands and talk at night, and it's good to warm the bed.
He couldn't bear it, so he could only get up in the dark, reach out and take a cold corn nest in the upside-down clay basin at the head of the bed and gnaw it violently.
This thing is made by mixing cornmeal with some white flour and fermenting and cooking, commonly known as Erhe noodles. Absolutely natural, it is very much in line with the concept of healthy eating in later generations.
