After feeding the poultry in the yard, it was almost noon. I was still a little uncomfortable without a clock.

"I don't know if this cheap father will do what he promised." - Lin Dong muttered.

During the Spring Festival last year, Lin Dong's father, Lin Mancang, promised to buy him a watch. Half a year has passed now, I'm afraid he has forgotten about it!

I went to the kitchen, heated up the leftover sorghum rice from last night, fried a salted fish, and stir-fried a bowl of shredded eggplant, and lunch was ready.

If people in the future saw Lin Dong's rice bowl, they would definitely shout, "Fuck."

A large bowl with a diameter of 20 centimeters, a two-jin herring, and a bowl of stir-fried eggplant with green peppers. Lin Dong ate it all up.

This is the disadvantage of practicing martial arts. Lin Dong eats as much as his seventh uncle's family can eat.

This is also the main reason why Lin Dong dared not to fight anymore. The living expenses given by his father were not enough at all. Lin Dong relied on hunting to have enough food.

The latest task is to build the courtyard wall with adobe, which can block the wind and the sight of the neighbors, then clear the stones on the land behind the house and continue digging the land to create fields.

This was also the case since Lin Dong lived with his grandfather in his previous life. He was used to tending the fields since he was a child, and later he got used to living alone.

The advantage of having strong mental power is that you can learn things quickly. Lin Dong only needs to watch others do it carefully once, and he can learn it almost perfectly.

Gradually, you will be able to apply what you have learned to other situations, and with your greater strength, you will be able to do better.

What Lin Dong is making now is adobe bricks. He made the mold himself using jujube wood.

The dimensions of the blank mold are 60 cm in length, 35 cm in width and 10 cm in thickness.

First, you need to prepare a beating table, that is, prepare a semicircular beating rack, and use a beating pestle to tamp and level it.

Then, sprinkle wood ash on the blank mold to prevent the wet blank from sticking to the bottom or the blank mold.

The next key step is to fill the mixed clay into the blank mold.

This process requires skill, and the person filling the soil must ensure that the soil is loose and has no air bubbles.

It’s not that Lin Dong doesn’t want to ask for help, but the food in his family is hard-earned and he eats too much. If he asks someone to help, it will probably be gone in a few days.

Another thing is that he doesn't want anyone to see him working. Lin Dong can do the work of five or six people alone. He is too inhuman.

These bricks were made behind the house, from where you can see the Yulin River two hundred meters away.

There are reed marshes by the river, where there are many mallards, night herons, black-headed whistling ducks, etc.

Although there are many wild birds, no one will come here. The first reason is that the mud is too deep and people can’t walk on it. They may even get stuck and unable to get out.

The second is that there are too many poisonous snakes, and if you are unlucky, you may die. Every household in Changling Village has planted wormwood and mint in front of and behind their houses, and most of the walls are planted with cacti to prevent poisonous snakes.

Lin Dong worked really fast. With the help of his spiritual sense, he finished 300 bricks in just over two hours.

He covered the bricks with reed mats, then pushed the cart over and started picking up stones. With the help of mental power, he could pick up a cart of stones in two minutes.

Lin Dong would keep these stones to pave the paths in and outside the yard so that it wouldn't be muddy everywhere on rainy days.

Thinking about the 400 kilograms of smoked meat and about 500 kilograms of various grains, I can go into the mountains again after a month.

As evening approached, I fed the poultry as usual and then cooked my own meal.

Thinking about the pheasant that will be available at Uncle Qi’s house today, I wonder if the kids will come over.

When they want to come, they always come suddenly. This is why Lin Dong always has leftovers. Afraid that there will not be enough food for the children, Lin Dong always makes more.

The village is definitely sparsely populated, and there is nothing we can do about it. Everyone lives on the hillside, so there is limited space to build houses.

At night, there are very few people visiting. If you accidentally fall down, you are lucky if you can stand up after lying down for ten days or half a month.

Today's dinner is wild boar meat stewed with dried beans and hazel mushrooms and served with cornmeal pancakes.

Seeing that it was getting dark and the children had not arrived yet, Lin Dong stopped waiting and started to eat.

After dinner, I took a cold shower by the well, moved out the recliner, and started reading a book under the grape trellis.

It was pitch dark, and if outsiders saw Lin Dong's behavior, they would probably say that he was seriously ill. It was because he had spiritual awareness that he was not afraid of the darkness within ten meters.

Life was too monotonous, so every time Lin Dong went to town, he would go to bookstores and the bookstalls on the street.

The main focus is on looking for medical books. So far, I have found "Nanjing", "Maijing", "Qianjin Prescriptions", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jiayi Jing", "Tang Materia Medica", "Xiyuan Ji Lu" and so on.

The next morning, as usual, I practiced boxing for an hour to stretch my body, and then went to check the traps I had set.

It would take about four hours to go back and forth, because the place where Lin Dong set the trap was far away. This was because he had spiritual awareness and good physical strength and could walk fast. If it were other hunters, it would probably take at least a day, and there was the possibility of accidents.

Gradually, I saw many men from the village going up the mountain. They didn’t chat with each other at this time. Even if they were very close to each other, they would just nod and say hello.

I was lucky today. I trapped two pheasants, took a walk along the Yulin River, caught a wild duck, and picked up four duck eggs.

This is because it has spiritual awareness, otherwise we would not be able to catch it. When this thing hears any noise, it flies into the river.

As soon as I got home, I saw Uncle Qi walking around the door. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Qi, what's the matter?"

"Dongzi, hurry up, the ox cart has been waiting for you for a long time."

"No, Uncle Qi, I'm not planning on going out. Why are you waiting for me?"

Uncle Qi handed over a piece of paper and said, "Your father asked you to go to the city urgently. Here is the address."

Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat. No way! Are all time travelers unlucky in their parents' health?

Although his father didn't take much care of him, he never cut off his food, which was pretty good in that era.

He did not forget his son even after remarrying, and he himself did not want to go to Sijiu City. This sudden accident made Lin Dong's eyes red. He must have cared about his father very much.

"No, Dongzi, why are you still crying? The messenger said that your dad found a job for you and wanted you to go as soon as possible in case something unexpected happens."

"Uh! Uncle Qi, you, I, I'm going home to change my clothes."

After saying this, he handed the pheasants and wild ducks in the basket to Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi looked at them and said, "Oh! They are still alive! Let your father take care of them. Don't worry about the family. Your Aunt Qi is here!"

Lin Dong thought about it and decided that it was not appropriate to go to the city empty-handed for the first time.

But he really didn't want to work in a factory, but he didn't dare to say it. If he did, Uncle Qi would beat him up. Let's take it one step at a time!

I returned home, changed into a clean set of blue clothes and Liberation shoes, and took out the wooden box from the kang.

He counted them and found a total of 30 jin of fine grain coupons, 30 jin of meat coupons, and 380 yuan. This was all the money Lin Dong earned from selling prey in one year.

After packing the money and bills, he put thirty wild duck eggs and three pine-smoked rabbits in the backpack.

He put the remaining fifty or sixty eggs in a cloth bag and carried it out of the yard.

There is no need to lock the door. It is useless to lock it. The one-meter-two-meter-high fence can only keep out sneakers. The most important thing is that nothing has ever been lost in the village.

Lin Dong’s house is on the top of a slope, which is more than 200 meters high. If you go up there during the day, you can see it from a long distance.

There are no street lights now, and people with poor mental quality would not dare to walk on this path at night without a flashlight.

"Dongzi, the oxcart brigade is waiting for you!"

"Oh! Give these eggs to the children. Chan'er hates the fishy smell of duck eggs. I'll take them to the city."

Uncle Qi was stunned for a moment: "Hey! Dongzi, you are really filial. Bring them all. We have more than ten chickens at home! We are not short of eggs."
