Chapter 9: Wild Hope, Dream, Disaster Nearby (Part 2)

If there is no rooster at home, the rising sun will still pierce the darkness.

Regardless of whether there is or not, it is the most fair way to shine all things.

I woke up before dawn.

Wake up by hunger.

The three meals on the day before the trip were oily. After coming here, the common people had two meals a day, and there was basically no oil and water. They all had a lot of appetite, but they couldn't eat enough.

Last night, he dreamed of the big white steamed bun, and I don’t know if it was hungry or because the white steamed bun looked like something on a woman’s body.

In this era of lack of entertainment, having a good dream is a story that can be shared with others, but this story cannot be said, because my brother and sister-in-law and even the entire Shangqiu people don’t know what steamed buns are.

The wheat needs to be ground off the outside to become bran before it can become flour, and only with flour can steam buns be steamed. At this time, the millstone has not yet become popular, so the wheat can only be cooked and eaten like rice.

When I went out to wash my face, I smiled helplessly.

The cheap dream of buying two for one dollar in the previous life last night is now a fantasy that even the emperor cannot get.

The cold water plunged on my face, and all the sleepiness that was still small was wiped out.

Carrying the clay pot to a well in the city to fetch water and fill your own large clay pot. The simple orange lever does not need to bend over. If you press the rope hard, you will follow the clay pot from the other well.

There were already people on the streets busy living. I thought I would go to soak the hemp today. I went back to eat the cold corn rice left over last night, and said to my brother and sister-in-law and went outside the city.

At this time, there was no cotton, and the flax from Central Asia had not yet taken root in the Central Plains. The original squid supported the bottom layer of clothes.

The ponds soaked with hemp outside the city emit an unpleasant odor, black, and a large number of microorganisms relentlessly decompose the lignin and gum on the hemp day and night, leaving fibers that can be spinned.

This is a common soaked pool in the city. Each family is divided into a small area and is not afraid of others stealing it.

It’s not that you don’t pick up the road and don’t close your door at night, but that soaking the hemp is the first step, and the subsequent drying, slicing, rubbing and spinning are the most troublesome.

The two pounds of squids that the old man in the field mentioned yesterday refer to the squids that were completed in the process before the Tao rubbing, rather than the raw materials soaked in stinky water.

Standing by the pool, he slightly tweaked the numb buns, a disgusting odor disturbed the tip of his tongue and his chest was extremely tight. Although he was "small but despicable" in his previous life, the things at that time were no more despicable than the despicable things at this time.

Many women also stood barefoot in the smelly pool water, sucking up the squid that they had soaked in their hands a few months ago, pinching their noses to endure the smell, finding the squids from their homes and dragging them upwards.

When the sun rises very high, there are more people. An atmosphere called joy also warms up with the sunshine. The civilian girl and the young farmer with all her strength are wearing occasional wet clothes. If you are interested or unintentional, you will always ripples.

A young man standing next to Shi stared at a woman opposite him and couldn't help but sing.

"The pond at the east gate can be used to rinse hemp. The beautiful lady can be used to sing with her."

"The pond at the east gate can be fermented. The beautiful ladies of that kind can be talked to."

"The pond at the east gate can be used to make a refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated refrigerated ref

The bright voice cut through the somewhat stagnant air that was stinky by the smelly squid, which attracted the laughter of the girls opposite. He was bold and fierce and deliberately twisted his waist and knelt in the posture of tidying up the ripe peach.

The singing voice and eyes gathered together. The girl raised her head boldly and looked at the young man singing opposite her. Perhaps she was satisfied with the look. Instead of lowering her head, she stood up straight and raised her petite breasts, as if asking again: "If I stand up, you can take a good look. Am I good? If you look good, then sing..."

Soon, the yellow oriole-like Ying Ge floated from the opposite side of the pond, making the time traveler blush a little.

"So, this is how the woman was like this. Did my ancestors meet at this time in my previous life?

The illusion of interlaced time and space made Shi a little confused. It took him a long time to shake his head and shake off these strange ideas.

The girl opposite also noticed Shi and sang a few words with a smile. Shi neither sang back nor adapted. She had to lower her head and blush and drag her home away, which attracted the singing woman to raise her head and smile constantly, like a rooster who had won the battle, pointing at Shi's back, not knowing what to say to the sisters next to her with giggles...

It is a good season for wild marriage, but I abandon my armor and twitch it and leave.

I am not thinking about those blushing and passionate singing, but about the words that Uncle Ma once said... The more people at the bottom are nothing, the more they can have true love and sex due to love. They are not dolls or transactions. They have nothing to trade except love and attract each other.

He dragged the hemp in his hands and spread it open in a spacious place to dry it. Now it is wet. After drying, his sister-in-law will use her rough hands to break it into hemp and spun it into linen and weave it into linen for new clothes.

When he thinks of new clothes, he thinks of his new clothes yesterday. It is very well-made, and this is the only thing he can exchange for money.

I want to do a lot of things, but I can do not do much. But now the cost at home is the simplest way to make tofu. I have to make a millstone first. I can’t hold on without a few dozen dollars, let alone buying beans running water, large pots, filter cloth, etc.

Just think about it, if that new dress can be sold for 20 or 30 yuan, it is definitely not enough to make tofu, and you must think of other ways.

After thinking for a long time, I had no idea.

He stood up helplessly, sorted out the soaked hemp, carried it back, and decided to listen to Mozi's lecture again.

...

There were cicadas chirping in the afternoon, but there was no Mo Zi under the cypress tree.

I was holding a small wooden stick and was about to draw a millstone, a cow plow, a ridge and other things, even if it was falsely claimed that it was taught by the hermit when chopping wood in the mountains.

I think it is a problem of enlightenment based on Mozi's technical level and the talents of the Mo family.

At this time, Lu Ban had passed away. In terms of carpentry level, Mo Zi was called the number one person in the world. If he couldn't even figure it out, he wouldn't think about it.

However, after waiting for a long time, I met a few people who were listening to lectures together yesterday and then I could hear the sound of the wind.

After carefully asking what happened, I felt a bolt from the blue exploded directly above my head. The wooden stick in my hand fell to the ground. I stood there stupidly like a turtle dove in winter, full of sadness.

I was still imagining the future yesterday, but who would have thought that today would be a disaster, and it was a disaster that was so close to you!

"I'm going to die..."

Murmuring, recalling the Gongsun Hui Rebellion in Qi State, he could only get these three words of evaluation of his situation.

The big event that happened in Qi seemed to have nothing to do with him, but in fact it was related to his life.

This small incident of the civil strife of the Tian family at this time was the beginning of a series of incidents in the middle and middle periods of the Warring States Period.

The story of the horseshoe loosening and destruction that he knew was just right here.

Because Gongsun Hui made his own request for help from Zhao, the Three Jins sent troops to defeat Qi.

Because of the great victory of the Three Jin Dynasties, they used their power to confront the Emperor of Zhou and obtained the title of attack on the Tian family, who did not obey the Zhou rituals.

Because of his status, the alliance countries jointly attacked Qi, and even the Yue Kingdom sent troops.

Because the alliance countries sent troops to Yue, Duke Kang of Jiang could only drive the King of Yue to surrender, measure the material resources of Qi to win the favor of Yue, and send two slaves from Qi to thousands of cities and towns, and all the shit pots were placed on Jiang Qi's head. The Tian family was clean and untouched. Jiang Qi had no prestige and no last face, and he did the last small task for the Tian family to serve Qi in the end.

Because the last trace of face was gone, the Tian family and the Han, Zhao and Wei families worked together to force the mascot of Qi Kanggong and the already weak Duke Lie of Jin to follow the three Jin, Song and Zheng countries to pay homage to the Zhou emperor. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Song, Zheng, Qi, Jin and other countries went to pay homage to the Three Jins and Marquis.

Because the Three Jins were marquis and Linqiu was a great victory, the Song State rebelled against Chu and relatives to Jin, which led to the Chu State being dissatisfied with the siege of Song, and countless Shangqiu starved to death. In the end, Song Duke surrendered and led the Song people to help Chu State build Daliang City and Yuguan, and be the support point for Chu State to dominate the Central Plains.

Because the Three Jins were marquis and Linqiu was victorious, the power of the pro-Jin faction of Zheng State increased greatly, and the struggle between the two pro-Qin faction of Chu and Jin was fierce, and the Chu State had to interfere in order to hegemony.

During this period, King Sheng of Chu was stolen and killed, and the Chu country was in chaos. Xiong suspected of ascending the throne, and his younger brother Xiong Ding, who had strong claims to inherit the right of his succession, fled to Zheng State and seized the throne with his army.

Because the power of the pro-Jin faction of Zheng State increased greatly, he took advantage of the civil strife of Chu State's inheritance rights and angrily attacked Chu State with an egg and resolutely supported Chu Prince Ding.

Because the Chu State forced the Song State to renovate Daliang City and Yuguan, it was aggressive and was once again criticized by Zheng State, which exposed the meaning of the outside world. Moreover, there was a strong claim by Gongzi Ding, a strong man on the Three Jins, and the conflict between the two sides was inevitable. Therefore, Wei, Han and Zheng jointly attacked Chu, and Song State jumped back against Jin again. Chu State was defeated in Wuyang in a battle, and Gongzi Ding took the opportunity to incite Chen and Cai to restore the country and establish himself, cutting off the ties between Chu and the Central Plains.

Because of the great defeat of Chu, four powerful vassals of Chu were killed in battle, and many nobles were extinct, and the strength of the Jingzhao two clans was greatly reduced. Therefore, a Chu version of the Battle of Ajinkur allowed the King of Chu to use the hands of Wei and Han to clear up the powerful vassals in the country, and finally had the possibility of strengthening centralized reforms, which also laid the groundwork for the Mo family to set up a counterattack before Wu Qi died.

Because of the great defeat of Chu State, Chen Cai restored the country, internal instability, and centralized power and decentralized power struggle, Wei State took over the Central Plains Daliang without the foreign enemy of Chu State. Wei moved the capital to Daliang to fight for the Central Plains, shifted its strategic focus, and the relationship between the Three Jins collapsed, Wei and Zhao turned against each other, giving Qin State finally a chance to break the deadlock in Xihe...

All these things that seem very distant, each stroke is written in the blood of thousands of people on a few lines of words on the bamboo slips.

Shi was very clear that at this time his position would probably become a piece of blood in these bamboo slips.

Once the Song State rebels against the Chu Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty, it will inevitably lead to revenge from the Chu State. At that time, a small person like him must guard the city, perform labor service, build city walls, and whether he can survive in the chaos is not something he can control. Whether he can starve to death in the siege for ten months is different.

Is there enough food for my family to eat for ten months in October?

Even if the siege does not starve to death, going to Yuguan to build a city wall for Chu State in the future, it will be a life-and-death death. The labor intensity at this time was extremely high, and the use of the Song Dynasty's Chu State was not distressed...

Even if the state of Song was not dead when Xiu Yu Pass, and the State of Song rebelled against Chu again, the State of Chu could not defeat the Three Jins, but he still had the ability to take revenge on the State of Song to intimidate those vassal states, and then there would be another war.

The little person has no right to choose, so he can only passively get involved and accept it silently, and there is no other way.

Moreover, this crisis is too close, at most one year!

I had many imaginations last night, but today I am in crisis.

He was really panicked.

In this chaotic era, it is not easy for a small person to live.
Chapter completed!
