Yang Zhen ate snacks calmly while chatting with the old woman. When he was a travel companion in his previous life, he often went to fellow villagers' homes to borrow water and stay overnight, and he was very accustomed to dealing with local people. The words he speaks and the questions he asks often speak to people's hearts. The old woman was probably at home alone, and when such a little baby came suddenly, she was naturally happy to talk to her.
This old woman is not the kind of ignorant person in the countryside. Yang Zhen really knows a lot of things from her.
For example, the current country is called Xu State, which has lasted for thousands of years.
The place where they are located is called Zhuyang County, and the big river outside the city is called Zhujiang River. Shuyang County is very big, and she has never been out of Shuyang in her life.
Above Shuyang County is Yunzhou, which is a large state in Xu State...
In this world, copper coins are used to buy things. One copper coin can probably be exchanged for one sesame pancake, the kind Yang Zhen ate in the morning, or three small pancakes like the one Yang Zhen is holding in her hand now. There are also silver coins and gold coins on top of the copper coins...
Those who can fly are called monks, they are mortals with spiritual roots who have learned the magic of the immortal family;
They live in the fairy mountains outside the city, and there are also some in the city. They often help people eliminate demons and demons, and maintain peace in the area, such as the water monster we killed yesterday...
Don't just go to the wilderness. There are many monsters there. A mouse is as big as a bucket and can breathe fire; vixens can eat people. They like children like you the most...
…
Yang Zhen took out the wooden carving with the Taoist priest's head...
"This is the Patriarch Yunxiao. The Patriarch is on top. The Patriarch protects you..."
"Our country, Xu, is protected by the Yunxiao Sect. The Yunxiao Sect was built by the old man and named after him. There are many monks and immortals with great powers..."
"This statue is in every household in our country. It can keep you safe. You said that if you fell from that mountain and survived, it must be the blessing of Patriarch Yunxiao. Poor baby, your parents must be looking for you everywhere. Hey, you said You don’t even remember, what a sin! I’ve been going to the neighborhood these past two days to see if anyone has lost their baby..."
After hearing what happened to Yang Zhen, the old woman felt very sympathetic, wiped her tears, and felt even more sorry for Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen also knew everything about this old woman's family situation...
The old woman’s husband’s surname is Chen, and her ancestors have been blacksmiths in the government for generations. She only has one son, who was drafted to Yunzhou City two years ago to build weapons for the soldiers there. The daughter-in-law is at home, and during the day she goes out to do laundry or work in a restaurant to earn some money for the family...
There was also a brother-in-law in my husband's family who was very talented in literature. He was selected as a scholar early on, but it was a pity that he died young. She left behind a nephew, but the old woman didn't want to talk about it and seemed to hate him...
Naturally, Yang Zhen would not ask any more questions.
The old man and the young man chatted and chatted like this. Yang Zhenren had a sweet mouth and could coax people. The old woman liked it very much and the smiles on her face became more and more popular. Soon, Yang Zhen became familiar with the old woman and became like a family.
…………
Yang Zhen finished eating three cakes and felt that her stomach was really full for the first time. The old woman wanted to go inside to get some food, but Yang Zhen was embarrassed and quickly stopped her. After chatting for a while, Yang Zhen stood up and wanted to walk in the yard.
The old lady agreed, and even let Yang Zhen go in and take a look at the main room. As a new time traveler, Yang Zhen still retains great curiosity about the living environment of "ancient people" and is happy to look around.
This is a very simple courtyard, which is about half the size of a basketball court. There is a stone table in the middle, with a water tank and a shelf next to it. There are several pieces of forged ironware on it, which look to be old. There are also some flowers and a pomegranate plant planted in the yard, but they haven’t yet begun to bear fruit.
The furnishings in the main room gave Yang Zhen a somewhat familiar feeling. In the middle is a portrait. The man in the painting has a curly beard and is holding a hammer. According to the old woman, this is the founder of the blacksmithing industry. Below is a long table and square table. There is a statue of a Taoist priest about one foot high on the table, which is the founder of Yunxiao. There is a kettle on the square table. The two sides are relatively empty, with only a bench on the left side.
Yang Zhen was a little thirsty. She picked up the kettle and shook it. It was empty. Then she went to look at the water tank in the yard. There was only a shallow layer of water, lining the dark bottom of the tank, as if it was floating. Some oil flowers.
"Grandma, where can I get water around here? I'll get a bucket of water!"
"No need, your baby is still young. When your Aunt Fu comes back, I will ask her to fetch water."
The Aunt Fu mentioned by the old man is her daughter-in-law, whose maiden name is Fu.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong." Yang Zhen showed her little arms and ate the old woman's cakes and water. He really wanted to do something to repay her.
Another thing Yang Zhen didn't tell the old man was that he felt full of strength again after eating this time. Last night he thought it was caused by the strange fish meat, but now it seems that is not the case. He was looking for a place to try his abilities.
"I still want to drink water." Yang Zhen pointed to the bottomed water tank.
The old woman had no choice but to agree and took Yang Zhen out to the workshop. There was a well there, and all the neighbors in the street used it. It was already noon, and there were not many people in the alley, and the beggars were nowhere to be seen.
When she arrived at the workshop, the old woman took out a copper coin and exchanged it with the old man watching the well for four sticks, each of which could draw a bucket of water. Tie the bucket with a cable and throw it down the well. Fill it with water. Yang Zhen quickly lifts it up and pours it into her own bucket. The bucket was half as tall as Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen weighed it with ease, as if she was holding a kettle instead of a bucket of water.
Yang Zhen walked lightly, walked four times quickly, and fetched four buckets of water. She looked at the water tank, which was less than half full, and asked the old woman for a copper coin, and then fetched four buckets of water. The tank is about seven to eight percent full.
The old woman was very moved, patted Yang Zhen's little arm to let him rest, and brought out a few more cakes. This time Yang Zhen was not polite, stretching her arms while grabbing the pancake and stuffing it into her mouth.
At this time, Yang Zhen looked as if nothing had happened, but her heart was already surging and she could not calm down. Eight trips back and forth, a total of eight buckets of water, weighing at least twenty kilograms in each bucket. Such intensity of labor would certainly be nothing if it were placed on the young body of the previous life, but it would also be tiring. But now, his body, which is less than ten years old, has not only persisted, but his arms are not sore at all, and his spirits are also very good. There was even a playground in front of him, and he could run around there for a dozen laps without any problem.
What was even more surprising was his own strength. He was carrying about twenty kilograms with one hand, but he was walking around as if nothing had happened. Comparing the way Tie Zhu carried the water this morning, it was not as easy as his own. You know, Tie Zhu is a boy of thirteen or fourteen, four or five years older than Yang Zhen. Compared with the group of beggars of the same age, Tie Zhu looks stronger and more powerful than them.
How is this going? Is my body inherently gifted? Or the benefits brought by time travel?
Why didn't this happen yesterday? Well, I was very hungry yesterday, so it doesn’t matter how good my physical condition is!
No matter what the reason is, I still made money, hehe.
Yang Zhen clenched her fists excitedly, and the original hesitation and helplessness caused by the time-travel dissipated a lot. Even though he is still a beggar now, with this extraordinary body and his knowledge in his previous life, Yang Zhen has the confidence to stand firm in this strange world!
In addition to endurance and physical strength, his body's flexibility and running speed seem to be stronger than those of ordinary children. This morning I raced with the group of teenage beggars, but I didn't fall behind at all. I rushed out of their surroundings several times, relying not only on my quick reflexes, but also on my running speed, which was not inferior to them at all.
I wonder if I can become an immortal with my physical fitness? If you can also cultivate immortality, that would be even more perfect...
Sure enough, the human heart is not enough. As soon as she discovered these abnormalities in her body, Yang Zhen once again had the idea of cultivating immortality.
