Chapter 1 Liaozhong County Town
()
In the northeast, Liaozhong County, and Liujia Village near Qingmakan. It is idle.
"Unfortunate, unfortunate." Ye Chong, who was lazy, cursed a few times. Ye Chong was a special forces soldier from the 21st century in his previous life. During a gun battle with drug bandits in the jungle in Yunnan, he actually stepped on a landmine left over from World War II. When Ye Chong thought he was on the west, he woke up and found himself in June of the 32nd year of the Guangxu period (1906).
"Now, the old witch Cixi should be the leader. After traveling through time, should I do something?" Ye Chong thought while basking in the sun. But when he thought about his current situation, Ye Chong couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The body he traveled through time was too weak and malnutrition, and a serious illness, Ye Chong had been exercising for nearly half a year before he improved a little. He could barely compete with ordinary people. Today, he went to the mountains to hunt. Only with meat can he become stronger. He can only see it again in the future.
"Brother Ye, you are so lazy. Why are you basking in the sun again? You don't even grow the ground, and you're hungry." A pretty girl, sixteen years old, named Han Ying. Such a good name was raised by an old master in the village. Like Ye Chong's predecessor, her parents died early, otherwise she could be a mother at the age of sixteen. She was still a little young at the age of sixteen, but she was so beautiful that she was so slim, beautiful face, and a thick linen cloth that could not cover the first charm of her body. Several young men in the village liked to join Han Ying if they had anything to do or not.
Ye Chong spitted the grass in his mouth and smiled and said, "Xiaoying, you care more than other people's daughter-in-law, why don't you be my wife?"
"You are so lazy, you will go hungry when you marry you, so I won't be your wife. I'm sick once, and I like to talk nonsense when I wake up, but I don't have any signs of it." Han Ying's face turned red and she spat and ran away.
"This little girl is good at everything, she's a little shy." Ye Chong shook his head, laughed, and then a carp thrust up and rose from the haystack. It's time to hunt. The five acres of land left by Ye Chong's predecessor's parents were thinking about when to sell it. With his own ability, he would have no food to eat, so wouldn't it be too talented to go to farm. Although this body is weak, it's much more handsome than his previous life, and it's the only place that is stronger than his previous life.
From the small earthen house where you live, took out a rusty iron bow, and walked towards the village head with a dozen arrows.
"Ye Chong, what are you doing?" Zhao Erhu, who is one year older than Ye Chong at the entrance of the village, asked in surprise when he saw Ye Chong holding a bow and arrow.
"Go to hunt." Ye Chong shook the braid behind him, circled his neck, and looked at Zhao Erhu in front of him and said, "Erhuzi, you block my way, may you want to fight with me again."
Zhao Erhu's thick eyebrows jumped, and when he heard Ye Chong's words, he quickly dodged. More than ten days ago, Zhao Erhu was repaired by Ye Chong because he envied Ye Chong for getting close to Han Ying and asked Ye Chong for trouble. He smiled and said, "I can't beat you."
This guy knew something. It was really troublesome to have such a long braid in the hot weather. Ye Chong shook his head and continued walking towards the mountains.
Ye Chong was lucky. In half a day, he actually shot a rabbit, a wolf, and a fox.
When the trash carried these prey back to the village, it caused a lot of sensation.
Several boys, half a year old, were watching the fun around Ye Chong.
"Tsk, the fur of this fiery red fox is so pure, it's probably worth dozens of taels of silver." The old master Kong Xiangyun praised: "Ye Chong, I suggest you get this skin to a nearby county town and sell it. Maybe it can be sold at a good price."
"Okay, let's listen to Master." Ye said with a close eye.
Then Zhao Erhu's father Zhao San helped to peel the skin.
Zhao San did a lot of things and acted quickly. He did it soon. Zhao San forced two pounds of wolf meat to return to the earthen house without allowing Zhao San to refuse.
"Brother Ye, are you here?" Han Ying's voice came from outside the house.
"Well, here it is." Ye Chong was lying on the earthen kang.
"Look, I won't be hungry after following me." Ye Chong smiled at Han Ying who was walking into the house.
This time, Han Ying's face turned a little red, and then said seriously: "Brother Ye, it's very dangerous to go to the mountains to hunt alone. Don't do this in the future. How good is it to farm peacefully in the village."
"Well, yeah, yeah, yeah." It was farming again, Ye Chong nodded speechlessly. "I will go to the county town tomorrow. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Go to the county?" Han Ying's eyes lit up, then she shook her head and said, "I'd better not."
"Why?" Ye Chong asked.
"The old master said that now the evil officials are in power and there are so many bandits, it is very dangerous for girls to enter the city." Han Ying said authentically.
Ye Chong slapped his head, "Okay, do you want me to bring you something back from the county town?"
"No, Brother Ye, you have to save a little." Han Ying shook her head.
"You said, why are you like a housekeeper before you get married?" Ye Chong smiled.
"Brother Ye, you... ignore you." Han Ying became angry and ran out.
The next morning, Ye Chong got up early, and it was more than 40 miles from Liujia Village to Liaozhong County, so he had to hurry up early.
"Oh, Master, why are you getting up so early?" Ye Chong, who had just left the house, saw the old master Kong Xiangyun wearing a pair of glasses, a thin face, and a black long gown.
"I also want to go to the county town, so I happen to be with you. You can take care of me, the old man on the way." Kong Xiangyun smiled.
"Actually, I am not old, I am fierce." Ye Chong smiled. This is the truth. Kong Xiangyun is only 45 or 6 now, but he is just a little knowledge that the villagers call him old.
Kong Xiangyun laughed and scolded: "You kid, why did you change someone after you got sick?"
When he left the village, Zhao Erhu, Sun Qi and Ye Chong from the same village were one year old, and he was sixteen years old this year. However, he didn't look as mature as Ye Chong, and he was a little childish.
"Sun Qi, what are you going to the county town to do?" Zhao Erhu asked.
"My father told me and my master to go to the county town to have a long experience." Sun Qi replied.
I rushed early in the morning, and it was already past ten o'clock when I arrived at the county town. The county town was indeed much more lively than Liujia Village. There were small responsibilities everywhere, and people were coming and going. Zhao Erhu and Sun Qi looked around and pointed from time to time.
Ye Zhong found a large open space with a large number of people and put a few pieces of leather open.
"Ye Chong, don't you go to the leather goods store?" Kong Xiangyun asked in surprise.
Ye Chong said: "The unscrupulous merchants in fur shops are always low. I will put them here first and then go there if I can't sell them."
"Okay, I have something to do. Let's meet here after noon." Kong Xiangyun nodded.
Zhao Erhu also walked away, only Sun Qi was a little restrained and followed Ye Zhong.
The fiery red fox skin is quite eye-catching, which has attracted several people.
"Brother, how much does this fox skin cost?" A middle-aged man dressed in a wide body and fat man, with a rich businessman's eyes flashing and asked Ye Chong.
"Not much, fifty taels of silver." Ye Chong smiled.
"Fifty taels of silver are too expensive." When he heard Ye Chong's bid, several people who surrounded him shook their heads, took a few glances and walked away.
"You really dare to say it because fifty taels of silver." Sun Qi said astonished. Fifty taels of silver have been enough for the entire Liujia Village for two years.
"Brother Ye Chong, look at that beef noodle restaurant, and that one sells cigarettes." Sun Qi pointed to Ye Chong with interest.
"What's so strange about the small county town, a few earthen surrounds? Now the clock tower in Great Britain looks like a little." Ye Chong shook his head, and was used to the tall buildings in his previous life, so he really couldn't be interested in these small earthen surrounds in the county town.
"Great Britain?" At this time, a large sedan chair carried by eight people happened to pass by Ye Chongdan, lifted the curtain, revealing a bright face.
"Brother Ye Chong, look at this lady dressed so strangely." Sun Qi said stunned.
Ye Chong looked in the sound and saw a white gauze dress, a white hat, and a Western outfit. No wonder Sun Qi said it was strange.
"Baodian, Big Ben, what you said just now?" Xu Nan signaled the person carrying the sedan chair to stop and asked Ye Chong. "Have you stayed abroad?"
Nowadays, most of the soldiers who can go abroad were from the Qing court martial arts halls. Women like this can go abroad either rich or noble. Ye Chong did not dare to be too presumptuous and said without looking at him: "No, I heard about it."
Xu Nan said a little disappointed. Thinking about it, how could anyone who has stayed abroad look like a villager like Ye Chong? Just as he was about to return to the sedan chair, he saw the fiery red fox skin in front of Ye Chong, and his eyes lit up: "This skin is not bad, how much does it cost?"
"It's not expensive, fifty taels of silver." Ye Chong said with a smile.
"Brother Ye Chong, what are you talking about?" Sun Qi said in a daze.
