I have become immortal, Taoist friends still need to be diligent

Li Mu woke up again as a newborn baby.

After being stunned for half a minute, I was slapped so hard that I cried loudly.

After a period of observation, Li Mu discovered that he had come to a strange world, similar to ancient times. The most important thing is that Li Mu found that his family was very poor.

I can only eat red noodle steamed buns and corn steamed buns every day. But fortunately, I have been able to eat enough since I was born.

But the weather is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and blessings. This year's drought has reduced grain production, and the family's grain reserves are not enough to last for next year's autumn harvest.

So yesterday, Li Mu's parents in this life told Li Mu that they would go out to beg tomorrow and come back at the end of the year, so that the family's food reserves would be enough to last until next year's autumn harvest.

"Hey, what should I do? Tomorrow I will be a beggar like Zhu Chongba. I have no experience at all."

Li Mu sat on the edge of the kang with his head hanging down. As a new young man in the 21st century, he cannot bear that hardship.

"No, I have to find a way. I can't lie down like this anymore, someone will die."

Li Mu finally found the courage and decided not to hang around in this world as a bystander. After all, going out to beg is no joke. If you don't get food, you will really starve to death.

Although his parents in this life were very kind to him and might let him eat first when he was asked for food, who could guarantee that he would get food every time.

After all, the drought is not just his family's fault. It is estimated that food production will be reduced for at least hundreds of miles. If you want to beg for food, you have to go further, but those who have to eat and sleep in the open along the way will inevitably have headaches and fever.

Under this level of medical care, in a world where herbal medicine is expensive, if you don’t have the money, you can only carry it. If you can’t carry it, you can only reopen it.

But this is not a game. Li Mu does not dare to despise his life. Although life is hard, there is something worth cherishing.

"Speaking of which, what is the effect of this immortality formation? I still can't feel any difference from others. Forget it, forget about it. Let's eat enough to survive first."

Li Mu thought for a while, but still didn't think of how to crack the fact that he was going to beg for food tomorrow. My mind recalled the First Emperor's Immortality Formation, and I felt that there was nothing different except sending him to this world.

He eats when others eat, and gets sick when others are sick. Unable to figure out why, Li Mu decided to stop thinking about it and go see his grandparents.

"Dad, I'm going to see my grandparents."

Li Mu got off the kang, went out and said to the dark-skinned young man who was plastering the windows with mud.

"Well, let's go."

The young man said without looking back.

"Mom, I'm here to find my grandparents."

"Oh, it's Tiedan. Your grandma and grandpa are reinforcing the granary. Go ahead."

Grandpa's house is only uphill from Li Mu's house. As soon as Li Mu went up the hill, he saw Wang Lanhua, Li Mu's mother, a young woman who was washing clothes.

When Wang Lanhua saw Li Mu, she smiled and pointed to the granary.

"Uh-huh."

Yes, Li Mu is also called Tiedan, and coincidentally his surname is Li. Li Mu also resisted the name given to him by his grandfather.

But it failed. After all, adults don't consider children's requests. They only think Li Mu's resistance is cute.

"Hey, Tiedan, come and let grandma give you a hug."

"Grandma, I'm five years old, I'm no longer a child."

"Hahaha~~ Tiedan has grown up."

Entering the granary built with the same adobe bricks, grandma, who was helping grandfather reinforce the grain hoard above, caught a glimpse of Li Mu and looked at Li Mu's chubby appearance jokingly.

"Hey, Tiedan, grandpa's work here is over. Let's go and take you to catch sparrows to eat."

Li Youliang, who was squatting on the grain store, looked at his eldest grandson and smiled, about to come down and take Li Mu to play.

"Grandpa, slow down."

Li Mu looked at his grandfather, who was only in his forties but already thin, and said from the bottom of his heart.

Ever since Li Mu could walk, Li Youliang liked to take Li Mu to catch sparrows. After catching cicadas, Li Mu also liked to follow.

It's not that Li Mu's heart is still intact, but that sparrows are the most common meat in Li Mu's bowl, otherwise Li Mu wouldn't be able to get a slightly fat body from eating just one steamed bun.

"Old man, if you catch a few more today, our whole family will have a good meal with meat. Tomorrow Tiedan will go out begging with us, so we can feed the baby well."

"I feel so uncomfortable thinking about this..."

Li Mu's grandmother Zhang Caiyun held Li Mu in her arms and felt heartbroken when she saw Li Mu's chubby face.

"Why are you crying? They all came here like this. Go boil some water and call Lan Hua and Da Zhuang over."

Li Youliang looked at Zhang Caiyun, whose eyes were already red, and shouted with a cold face.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Li Mu still hadn't figured out why he didn't go out to beg as a family. After breakfast, he was sullenly holding the chipped pottery bowl that Li Dazhuang, Li Mu's father, had given him yesterday, and dressed in pudding clothes, he went to the village's Dahuai who was fetching food. Walking on the Shutu Square.

"Everyone is here, huh?"

More than 300 people in the village, old and young, gathered under the big locust tree. At this time, Li Mu saw the sixty-year-old village chief standing on the stone roller under the big locust tree and asked.

"Everyone is here..."

"Well, this time we will follow the old rules. Children under five years old and their mothers will stay to take care of the children. Elderly people over fifty years old will stay to take care of the food for the whole village. Everyone else will go on the road together."

"Each family has brought enough food for three days, which is enough for us to walk to the county seat. It's September now. Let's come back before the end of the year."

There were no long speeches, no flowers and applause, only the helpless voice of the village chief and the deep breathing of the villagers.

"Hey, it's quite a coincidence that I just turned five this year."

Li Mu whispered in his heart.

In fact, Li Mu was shocked a few days ago when he learned that the whole village was required to form a group to go out to beg for food. However, after his grandfather's explanation, he realized how humble the farmers in this world are.

Planting food depends entirely on God's blessings. There is a small disaster every three years and a major disaster every ten years. Farmers who dig food in the fields have become accustomed to this kind of life.

Whenever there is a bad year and there is not enough food, they go out to beg for food together.

First, you may meet wealthy families in the city who do good deeds and reward them with food to tide over the difficulties.

Second, the large number of people can prevent wild beasts on the road from approaching easily, and it can also avoid being beaten and scolded by small robbers.

Some people would say that the little thief will miss your pair of pants that several people have worn, or the broken bowl in your hand that has been passed down for generations?

In fact, it's not the case. The little robbers and thieves just want to bully the poor people, although most of them are also poor people.

Looking at the many villagers with sad faces, the village chief was helpless. Although his family still had enough food in stock, it couldn't feed the more than 300 people in the village. He could only go to see which family really couldn't survive. With a little relief, it would be good to be able to survive.

"Let's go and come back safely. Let's help each other along the way."

"Da, da, da~"

The villagers were preparing to head on their way, when suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from far to near.
