From then on, the third uncle watched the cow even more closely, and did not dare to leave his side. There were so many crazy people in the quiet village, and the third uncle kept saying: If you catch them, they will be sent to justice. But he was also worried, would the county boss care about such a small matter? The cow is not dead, so most likely it is ignored!
Liang Chuan's health is getting better and better, and he and Yi Niang are getting closer and closer. The two of them ask and answer questions together, and it seems that they can never finish talking.
"Are we born here?"
"No, you don't know your hometown well. You only know that your two brothers died when you were wandering. You survived by begging and then met me."
"So I'm a beggar!"
When Lin Yiniang heard this, she seemed to be angry and said: "Stop begging and begging, it's so unpleasant to hear. We used to be poor people. The north used to be chaotic, and I was relatively young. After my parents and I got separated, I have been wandering south. , I have been begging all the way here. When I came to Fengshan, I met you who came from the south to beg. You were as thin and black as a piece of carbon at that time. You didn’t like to talk and had a dull personality. No one in the whole village wanted to see you. The two of us depend on each other for our lives!" After talking about this, Lin Yiniang's little face couldn't help but glow with happiness. She recalled what happened back then and was immersed in full happiness.
"Later on, I followed you every time I begged for food. The other children called me a beggar woman. I was very happy because no one was so kind to me except my parents. I also thought in my heart that I would marry when I grow up. I'll be your wife, I didn't expect to become a beggar's wife!" Lin Yiniang recalled the bitterness of the past, but there was no trace of sadness on her face. Instead, her big black eyes flashed with light and tenderness.
Zhang San looked at Lin Yiniang, her eyes full of tenderness. Yi Niang took Zhang San's hand and rubbed it involuntarily, getting drunk. Zhang San looked at Lin Yiniang's expression and felt infinitely in his heart. He got a woman for no reason, but she was also a good and kind-hearted woman!
"At that time, we were begging for food in the house during the day and had no place to stay at night, so you took me here. The place we lived in was originally a half-collapsed thatched house. The weather was fine, so we just put some straw on it. I can sleep very comfortably, but it would be very sad if it is windy or rainy, as we often get soaked in the rain.”
Liang Chuan had never experienced this kind of life. As a modern person, his childhood was full of joy. He did not catch up with the days when the generation had to worry about food for three meals. He had parents and brothers at home, and he was the youngest. He had to endure several hardships. A brother has more love, and the peers around him generally live like this.
Perhaps what you think is the most common is what others think is the most precious.
"We lived in this dilapidated house for three years, and no one took care of it in the first two years, so the two of us repaired the dilapidated house ourselves, went to the mountain to get some wood and straw, and repaired the holes in the roof. After patching it up, we plastered the surrounding walls and started living here.”
"Is there no owner of this house?" Liang Chuan asked.
"Yes, that's where the problem lies." Lin Yiniang said this, her tone becoming a little anxious. "When we lived here for the first two years, no one in the village came to talk about it. After all, it was a dilapidated house that had been rotting here for several years and no one took care of it. Since we reorganized the house, I don't know what happened. Where did some scoundrels come from and wanted to take advantage of this house? They bullied us that we were foreigners, we had no family protection here, and we were weak. They said that this house was passed down from their ancestors and was stolen by us two beggars. Occupied." Lin Yiniang became angrier as she spoke.
"Ever since we finished building this house, you asked me to guard this place and go out to make money by myself. At first, I used the money I got from begging to buy some farm tools in the market, and went up the mountain to cut firewood and collect mountain products. At that time, you were very We were diligent, and soon we stopped begging outside, and life got better and better. In fact, this house was of no use. Water leaked everywhere when it was stormy." Zhang San saw her getting more and more angry as she talked, and was afraid that she would break out of her anger and talk. Li kept trying to persuade her to calm down.
It turns out that's the case. Sure enough, it seems that this time is not a war period, and the lives of ordinary people seem to be pretty good, without the tragedy of troubled times like selling one's son and marrying one's daughter. As long as the people are given a place to stand, they can survive extremely tenaciously and even create amazing miracles.
"Will those scoundrels come now?"
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. To be honest, we have to let them forget it in this shabby house. One more thing is worse than one less thing. They probably won't get any benefits. They didn't come much after that. Let's live our lives slowly. Come on, what happened when you went into the mountains not long ago, otherwise everything was fine." When Lin Yiniang said this, she suddenly laughed, and Zhang San understood.
Land and neighbor disputes have been the root cause of social conflicts for thousands of years. Even in the modern era when Zhang San works, the reports received in the unit every day are more or less related to land and neighbor disputes, ranging from quarrels and troubles to serious fights and injuries. Man, it gives me a headache.
"Does my accident have anything to do with these people?"
"I don't know. Logically speaking, if you were beaten, there should be bruises and wounds on your body. But when I found you, your body was intact, but all the bones were broken. Even the doctor has never seen such a strange thing.
Well, Zhang San asked Yi Niang for more information about the place he is currently in.
The village is called Helu Village. There are only about a hundred households. Their ancestors, whose surnames are He, Huang, and Zheng, are all northerners who immigrated here. Helu is on the edge of Fengshan Township and the last village on the north bank of Nanxi River. The only road into the mountain passes in front of their house. However, in ancient times, the deep mountains were a forbidden land for ordinary people, and there were all kinds of poisonous snakes in them. A fierce beast, if you are not careful, you will have to hand over your life in the mountains. The locals call this mountain Calabash Mountain, but it doesn’t look like a calabash.
An official road runs through Fengshan Mountain. It is the only way to the northern cities such as Fuzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou. It is not a big official road. It is a dirt road. Villagers and outsiders have to pass through it when entering and leaving the mountain. The old man said that if you keep walking along this dirt road, you can go to the capital. The students going for the exam go to the capital from here, as well as some merchants doing business. Going south is Xinghua County, where Fengshan Township is governed.
Most of Fengshan Township's boundaries are mountains and forests. The basic situation is that paddy fields and dry land account for three-thirds of the land that can be cultivated, mountainous land accounts for six percent, and the remaining one is rivers, ponds and ditches. Because the population is slightly larger, there is not much land that can be used for farming. In addition, with the prevalence of land annexation, paddy fields cannot be cultivated at high prices, and dry fields cannot be paid at low taxes. Some people in the countryside can only farm for landlords, and more and more people can be self-sufficient. The less.
"What dynasty are we in?"
"The Great Song Dynasty!"
Great Song Dynasty! Liang Chuan seemed to hear a familiar term! He grabbed Lin Yiniang's hand and asked urgently: "Wait a minute, what dynasty do you think we are in now?"
Lin Yiniang was frightened by this sudden and huge reaction. She didn't know what she said wrong, and everyone was confused.
Liang Chuan looked at Lin Yiniang's mischievous expression and knew that he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly said sorry to Lin Yiniang.
Lin Yiniang was seriously puzzled. Did she say something wrong? It was not good for the third brother to be so excited. When the wound hurt again, she said: "Third brother, did I say something wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Zhang San thought in his heart that he had indeed come to a certain era in the past, but there seemed to be two dynasties with Song as their country name, one was the Liu Song Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the other was the Zhao and Song Dynasties after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. I don’t know which era we are in now. Then he asked: "Who is in charge today?"
Lin Yiniang replied: "The official's surname is Zhao. Whoever makes the decision is naturally the official." I don't know why the third brother has to ask such a simple question. Alas, I really can't forget anything.
Could it be that I came to the Zhao and Song dynasties that were described in textbooks as having failed and revolted many times and were weak and unable to recover? In this era, it seemed that they were constantly being watched and beaten by several ethnic minorities. Even though they had won, they still had to pay various compensations to others. It was a coward and humiliation. Extremely. But now I don’t know whether it’s the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, I don’t know which one it is, and I feel that neither one is good. There is nothing positive in books or TV about this era, so how can I survive?
"Do you know the official names now?" Zhang San asked.
"I don't know what the official's name is. How could I know so much? I know a little more except when I was wandering before. Now I haven't been out for a long time. As long as there are no major events in the county and village to announce to the world what happens outside, How would we know that as long as today's porridge is enough, it rains normally, and our lives can go on, who is the official has nothing to do with us."
That's right. More than 90% of ancient people never even left their own county in their entire lives. To them, the world is just a word. Who is the emperor is so different from them? They are not the same every day at sunrise. Rest at sunset, guarding the three-thirds of an acre of land and digging for food.
Perhaps the only difference is that the officials are wise, cherish the people's power, do not compete with the people for profit, and make their lives more comfortable.
"Artist, do you know where the capital is now?" The Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were definitely different. The Southern Song Dynasty was more peaceful, and almost half of the country was in the south of the Yangtze River. The Northern Song Dynasty had a much larger land area than the Southern Song Dynasty. There were four capitals in the Northern Song Dynasty, which were somewhat different from today's capitals: Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Henan Prefecture in Xijing, Daming Prefecture in Beijing, and Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing. Among them, Tokyo is the capital, located in Bianliang. Xijing is Luoyang. Nanjing was Songzhou, not today's Nanjing, but in today's Shangqiu. Shangqiu is the place where Taizu Longxing lived. Beijing is a famous place rich in sesame oil, and today Hebei is a famous place. Therefore, the three names Tokyo, Kaifeng, and Bianliang actually refer to today's Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty. The difference is the result of a combination of geographical and historical factors.
"Tokyo, I still know this." Lin Yiniang replied confidently.
"Tokyo, that means they haven't moved south yet, so the current dynasty is the Northern Song Dynasty!!", eating hot pot and singing, suddenly came to this world, go back? How to go back? Survive? How to survive!
"Go to sleep. I will go to the town market early tomorrow morning to sell some firewood in exchange for some rice and noodles."
"I'm going to the market tomorrow, can I come with you?"
