Chapter 1 A Quiet Life
Country roads, along the river, with no end in sight.
Li Li held the hoe and plowed the ground in the barren field, and as he accelerated the speed of plowing, sweat also soaked through his clothes. But he didn't have time to rest, so he brought out a lot of grain today, and he had to sow the seeds into the ground before it got dark, otherwise he would have to carry it back when it got dark.
"Li family boy, are you working in the field again? Since you moved to our Lousang Village, I haven't seen you rest, can you eat all the food you grow like this? A seventy-year-old man passed by and asked jokingly.
"Grandpa Wu, if I can't finish eating, I'll move to your house, let's eat together." Li Li replied.
"Hahaha, then I'll just wait." The old man quickly walked away.
It was getting dark.
Li Li finally buried all the seeds in the ground before it got dark, and walked home with a hoe.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw an old woman pacing anxiously there.
Li Li walked over curiously: "Grandma Sun, why did you come to my house, is there something wrong?" ”
"Something, something. You're back. Grandma Sun said: "A few days ago, the patriarch asked me to tell you a matchmaker, no, I ran several pairs of shoes, and finally found a girl who is willing to marry you, you go with me now to finalize this marriage." ”
Grandma Sun pulled Li Li and was about to go out.
Li Li hurriedly struggled to break free: "Grandma Sun, Grandma Sun, you don't have to worry about my affairs, I'm only sixteen years old, and I'm still young." ”
"Sixteen is still young?"
"Isn't it small?"
"In our village, you can start a family at the age of fourteen, and a sixteen-year-old young man like you has given birth to dolls. Grandma Sun, I am for your business, but I broke my heart and ran to several villages to find a daughter-in-law for you, you have to go today, and you have to go if you don't go. ”
Li Li smiled bitterly for a while, turned his back, took out a string of copper coins from his trouser pocket and handed it over: "Grandma Sun has worked hard, this little money, you should pay for the journey." As for finding a daughter-in-law, I still like to find it myself, so I won't bother you. ”
"This ...... That's embarrassing. Granny Sun said that she didn't want it, but her hands were very honest, and she had already snatched the copper coin.
After sending Grandma Sun away, Li Li was relieved.
I looked up and glanced at my thatched hut, two large rooms, four side rooms, and one living room.
It took him half a year to build it up little by little.
In Lousang Village, where there are only a few dozen households, it is a relatively luxurious building.
"It's a pity that I was in a hurry to settle down at that time, and I didn't have time to burn bricks and tiles, otherwise I would build a courtyard and come out, and the girl who chased me would not have to go to Luoyang City?" Li Li smiled stupidly, walked into the house, and began to light a fire to cook.
As a time-traveler in the new era, the living habits are very different from those of the ancients.
Everyone else has two meals a day, but he has to eat three, and he is hungry if he misses one meal.
The kitchen utensils at home and the pots used for stir-frying are all things that no one else has.
In order to solve the problem of edible oil, he bought several pigs at a low price, and through special breeding methods, the pork tasted delicious, and the oil boiled out was better than snow, better than modern lard.
Not too many people paid attention to this, but Li Li enjoyed it.
In his previous life, he was a farmer, so he liked to grow some strange crops, and when the autumn harvest came, he would eat delicious food that no one else could eat. The chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep and pigs raised at home are the objects of his careful care. Every time the Chinese New Year comes, I will kill a few heads to reward myself for a hard year.
After coming to ancient times, his life did not change much, and he still worked in the fields and returned home to take care of livestock.
However, he was always a little worried in his heart, because the era he lived in was not a peaceful and prosperous era, and he could live a peaceful and stable life. But at the end of the war-torn Han Dynasty, in terms of time, the Yellow Turban Uprising had already broken out, and all states were busy exterminating the Yellow Turban Army.
Lousang Village is a relatively remote small village, and there is no Yellow Turban Army to kill and rob, but there is no guarantee that it will always be peaceful.
Li Li also thought about taking up arms to join the army, and with the memories of his later generations, he would definitely be able to play a certain role. But he was happy to be calm, and finally chose to farm, honestly be a farmer, and live his own small life.
"Anyone?"
"Is there anyone inside, in Xia Liu Bei, come to see you!" There was a shout outside.
Li Li quietly approached the door and window, and through the gap between the door and window, he saw a man with his ears drooping and his hands above his knees, standing respectfully outside. This image is too in line with historical facts, and there is no doubt about Liu Bei. Doesn't this guy live in the east of the village, how could he come to me, could it be that he wants to lure me into the gang and go with him to fight the Yellow Turban Army? No, I'm just an ordinary farmer, even if Liu Bei is like a god, he can't calculate that I am extraordinary.
"Is Brother Li at home?"
"In!"
It's not good to always be gone, Li Li opened the door and bowed back: "Please come in, the humble house is shabby, and I hope Brother Liu won't dislike it." ”
At this time, Liu Bei has not yet met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the poor jingle in Lousang Village belongs to the most depressed time, if he can climb up to him and give him a little benefit, the reward he will get in the future will definitely be higher than paying.
Li Li's mind was full of thoughts, and at this moment, he almost took out all the money in his pocket and gave it all to Liu Bei. But after thinking about it, what did he do as a farmer?
Throughout Liu Bei's life, in addition to running for his life, he was on the way to escape, and it was not until the late Han Dynasty that Zhuge Liang came out, and his situation was better. What can you do with such a person?
If you want to live for a few more years, you must stay away from Liu Bei, a dangerous person.
Liu Bei didn't know what Li Li was thinking, and thought that Li Li invited him into the house to welcome him very much, so he smiled and said: "Brother Li is really a capable person, and he can actually make so many novel farm tools, I have never even seen them." Brother Li is talented, and Liu Bei is beyond his reach. ”
"These hoe scythes, you say? This is all made casually in my spare time, it is not of great use, just planing the ground, cutting and mowing the grass, I see that Brother Liu's heavenly court is full, the land is wide and round, it is definitely not a thing in the pool, and there will be a great future in the future. You should go to a wider world, my temple here is small, I can't accommodate you as a god, so I won't keep you, why should you go, I still have to mow the grass and feed the pigs, busy. ”
"Ugh!" Liu Bei was stunned, didn't he have a good chat, why did he start driving people away.
Am I saying something wrong?
Liu Bei thought about it carefully, and he didn't say anything wrong. But Li Li had a very good attitude just now, and invited him into the house, but he was not welcome in the blink of an eye.
Liu Bei's city is deep, his heart is resolute, he thought about it and hurriedly said: "Since Brother Li has something, then Liu Bei will leave first, and when Brother Li is not busy, Liu Bei will come to see him again." I also hope that Brother Li will give him a chance, don't refuse people thousands of miles away. ”
"Let's go, let's go, I'll invite you into the house." Li Li waved his hand, looking too lazy to take care of him.
After Liu Bei left.
Li Li's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, after all, this is the founding emperor of Shu Han, and he has the ability to help him, maybe with his own help, he can really help the Han family and unify the world, not necessarily, if it is really then, wouldn't it be better for him to live a peaceful and stable life.
No, no, no!
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many stars and capable people, even if they knew the direction of history, they were afraid that they would not be able to fight those people. Besides, with the development of events, the so-called historical trend will also change, and at that time, you will have no power to tie the chicken, and you will have no advantage at all. Life is a long road, there are many paths to choose from, and you can't walk into a dead end.
Li Li once again strengthened his inner thoughts.
