Chapter 91: Worship the Sea God
Sun Island is a twelve-hour voyage from Death Island, and by the time the boat sways to Sun Island, it's time for lunch.
It's not right, it should be the time for Wen Xian and the others to have lunch.
In this era, food production was insufficient, and in order to save food, families would only eat two meals a day.
Of course, Wen Xian and their palaces don't count. After all, there will be a shortage of food anywhere, that is, there will be no shortage in the palace.
So, even when they first arrived at the poorest on the island, they ate three meals. The most you can do is to reduce the amount of food you eat at each meal and eat smaller, more frequent meals.
However, there is no shortage of surplus families in the village.
Therefore, at this time, a few wisps of cooking smoke can be seen sporadically on Sun Island.
After a simple lunch on the boat, Wen Xian went to check Zhu Li's pulse again.
Then, she found Zhu Qing on the splint and said, "Young Master Qing, can you let my other sisters stay on the boat first, and I will take two people up to find a place to stay first?" ”
If she could, she wanted to wait until it was dark before moving the supplies and people on board. There are many things to save and it is a woman, which is more eye-catching.
Zhu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I thought that you were three or five people, so you can live in my old house temporarily." Now that there are so many of you, you really have to rearrange. ”
If it really doesn't work, there is only a grievance, and a few people squeeze into a room, which is a very common thing in the countryside.
Wen Xian didn't care and said: "What's wronged, just have a place to live." ”
There is an unwritten rule in Sun Island that every Zhuji's father must be the village head, which is also a way to protect Zhuji.
Yes, Zhu Si Ta Da Father, that is, Zhu Qing Da Da Da Father, is the current village chief on Sun Island.
According to Zhu Qing, their family also started when his father became the village chief and he went out to do business.
After the family got up, they chose another land to build a blue brick and tile house. He also bought a lot of land, and he was a small landowner.
Although it is far from the land, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Great Qin State. If you buy land or something, you have to report it.
If you want Wen Xian to say, the emperor is far away here, how good it is to directly encircle the island and be the owner of the island.
Faced with Wen Xian's doubts, Zhu Qing couldn't say anything: "I would like to, but if I enclose my own land and be unrestrained." The villagers on the island will become black households and be imprisoned on Sun Island forever. ”
Kuroto is fine on the island, but if he wants to go out of the island to do business, hire a doctor or something, it will be difficult to move an inch.
So, even if no one comes to the island to check. But as long as they want to go out of the island to land, they still have to follow the usual procedures to apply for household registration, pay taxes, and so on.
Of course, it is not known whether it will be reported according to the real situation.
For example, a family has three children, but only one is reported to the family. There are also many people who have two sons who have been reported as daughters, so as not to be conscripted away.
Foundations, fields, etc., are even simpler. As long as it is registered and divided with the village chief, it can be used directly.
And if you report it, you will only report it according to the least.
The emperor on the left and right islands is far away, and those above will not go to the island to verify it.
Wen Xian is clear, this is fine, so that he can walk outside with an upright identity.
"So, I can ask your father to buy land and repair the house?" Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "You can also open up the wasteland and farm by yourself?" ”
As for how much money to drive, it is entirely up to the village chief to decide. She only registers one left and right, and will not go to the yamen for the record.
"You're going to repair the house?" Zhu Qing disagreed, "If you are just living temporarily, there is no need to repair the house at all." ”
He didn't think that Wen Xian and the others would stay on Sun Island for a long time, maybe someone would come and pick them up in a few days.
"Not necessarily." Wen Xian smiled and said, "However, what Qing Gongzi said is right, let's settle down first." If there is a need in the future, it is not too late to repair again. Later, I will ask Young Master Qing to take me to see your family's old house, and if it is suitable, I will rent it for a while. ”
You can't buy it, you can't repair it, so you can only rent one first. Of course, if you are comfortable staying in Sun Island, you can settle here.
Zhu Qing wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, no one could guarantee that each of the eleven people would have a room. Unless you start a new house, you have to sleep in a crowded room.
So, he agreed to go ahead with the original plan and take them to see his family's old house.
The wharf of Sun Island is just outside the village, and before the boat docks, someone excitedly ran to tell each other: "Lord Zhu Si is back, Lord Zhu Si is back." ”
And Zhu Li, also supported by the two maids, wrapped in a black cloak and came to the bow of the boat to wait.
Wen Xian looked at Zhu Qing puzzled, and Zhu Qing explained: "They hurried to the Tanah Lot Temple to worship. ”
The villagers here are accustomed to going to Tanah Lot Temple to worship before going to sea, and Zhu Li went to sea yesterday and the day before yesterday. Therefore, the villagers did not go to worship and prepared to go together today.
"Ahem~" Zhu Li covered his handkerchief and coughed lightly, and smiled at Wen Xian, "There is Miss Lao Wen, I have gotten better after taking the medicine." When Miss Wen is done, remember to come to Tanah Lot Temple. ”
Wen Xian nodded and said, "I wish Si is polite, when the stability is good, I will come to check your pulse tomorrow." Eat a lighter diet during these two days, burn enough charcoal at night, and don't get caught with wind and cold again. ”
Seeing Zhu Li and her maid take the first step, Wen Xian took Sheng Li'er and Fang Jiaren to follow Zhu Qing off the boat.
The others stayed on the boat, waiting for her to find a place to stay and call them.
After several uncles finished moving the charcoal, they would leave two people on the boat to guard, which made Wen Xian very relieved.
When I got off the boat and walked uphill, I saw many houses. The houses here are not all mud houses, but are made of mud and large stones.
Such a house is resistant to moisture, sturdy and resistant to typhoons.
Even the road up the hill from the pier is made of stones and dirt.
It can prevent mudslides on the hillside from falling stones, and can act as a dam to resist the sea water when the water rises.
So, the vicinity of the embankment is uninhabited. It takes a hundred meters further to have houses one after another.
And the first house is Tanah Lot Temple.
Tanah Lot Temple is close to the sea, protecting Sun Island and facilitating the entry and exit of Poseidon.
Tanah Lot Temple is different from other houses, it is a three-entrance courtyard made of red bricks and green tiles.
What is the situation inside, Wen Xian didn't know if she didn't go in at this time.
Zhu Qing looked at the crowded Tanah Lot Temple, put away his distressed expression of Zhu Li, and explained to Wen Xian: "There are too many people here, and Zhu Si won't be able to receive you after you go in, just come back after you settle down." ”
At least when this wave of concentrated worship of the sea god passes, they will come again.
Wen Xian nodded in understanding, it was good that everyone in the village had gone, so there was not even an adult figure on the road except for the little doll.
Wen Xian thought that the Zhu Qing family had to go forward, but in the middle of the village, she didn't expect that after the Tanah Lot Temple, it was the Zhu family.
