Although it was already the end of February, it was still very cold in the morning and evening. Lin Qiao was woken up by the cold wind blowing in through the cracks in the door and windows. His mind was confused for a while, and he touched his body again, hey!It's still straw, and I sighed on my back, why haven't I put it back on?

After sighing, Lin Qiao shrunk his body into a ball as much as possible, trying to make himself warmer, but even so, it didn't help much, the quilt was too thin and too hard.

There is no watch or mobile phone, and I don’t know what time it is. I can only judge the time by the light that seeps through the cracks in the wooden boards on the narrow nailed windows.

Speaking of the ancient time, Lin Qiao, a modern person who grew up in the 21st century, almost forgot, only remembered the two hours of midnight and noon, and returned everything else to the teacher.Think about it too, in the 21st century, there are watches, mobile phones, computers and various timers, and there is no need to remember those infrequently used hours.

Lin Qiao sighed again, how could he be so unlucky?Isn't it just staying up late to play games, falling asleep on the computer desk after getting tired?Why did he come to this unknown ancient time when he woke up?And put it on a weak chicken!

He has also read some time-travel novels, so he wondered, his life is not miserable, he has both parents, brotherly love, good health, and a girlfriend with big breasts, thin waist and long legs, how did he time-travel?Don't the time travels in those novels all happen when one's life is miserable, one is framed to death, or one encounters an accident?He doesn't fit any of these!

And don't the time travels in the novel all go to some princely family?How did he end up in such a farmhouse with dilapidated walls and roofs?After being depressed for a while, he remembered again, oh!There are also farming articles that travel to poor farmers!

After wailing in her heart for a while, she heard the rooster crowing outside. Lin Qiao glanced at the wooden window again, and the light coming in was indeed brighter than before.

The sound of crowing one after another quickly resounded through the village, and these roosters are really, why don't they crow together?It's so noisy that the one from one house has to finish the one from the other house to start chirping!Lin Qiao pulled the torn quilt to cover his head. After living in the city for more than ten years, he was no longer used to life in the village.

Lin Qiao didn't complain for a long time, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and then a loud female voice yelled, "The sun is drying your butt, hurry up and work, you have spent so much money on medicine, you dare to be lazy and not work , See if I don't beat you to death!"

Lin Qiao sighed again, how could he have forgotten that there is such a person?

He was still cursing loudly, even though he was unwilling, Lin Qiao had to stand up against the cold, and had to bow his head under the eaves. He was a soul of the 21st century who traveled to this unfamiliar place and was penniless. , I have no power to restrain the chicken, so I can only compromise.

Although it was dawn, the room was still very dark. Lin Qiao fumbled to put on his tattered cotton coat, and before he could put on his belt, the woman with a loud voice threw a broom on him and shouted, "Don't dawdle, hurry up and sweep the yard, fetch water for cooking, and feed the chickens and pigs."

Lin Qiao fastened his belt, took the broom, got up from the straw pile, and walked silently into the yard.It's a shame to get people to work at the dawn of a genius!

Lin Qiao looked at the slightly reddened sky in the east, and sighed. Today is the No. 14 day of crossing, but he still can't accept this reality. He always feels that time travel is only temporary, and he might wake up one day Back to his warm and comfortable apartment!

So he didn't care much about the woman's bad words, he just thought it was filming!

Looking at the chicken droppings and rotten vegetable leaves in the yard, Lin Qiao couldn't help but want to curse, why can't the chickens be locked in cages?Pulling a yard of shit, how disgusting!

But after looking at the yellow, green and green chicken droppings for a while, he felt that it is not all bad to pass through, at least his eyes are no longer short-sighted. If he hadn’t worn glasses before, he would have put the chicken droppings in his rice bowl. Can't see clearly.

He complained here, and the woman scolded again, "Stupid! Why don't you sweep up quickly?"

Lin Qiao had no choice but to endure his nausea and start sweeping. Fortunately, there were these rotten vegetable leaves, which neutralized the various colors of chicken feces, otherwise he would have to vomit, but considering that he didn't eat at all last night, his stomach is now empty !Feeling sick probably has nothing to vomit.

After sweeping the yard, Lin Qiao took the wooden bucket to fetch water from the well at the head of the village.It was still early, and I met only two people on the road who were going to carry water, but they were all women. There was really no big man like him carrying water.

Lin Qiao looked down at his current body, and sighed again. The body he passed through was not considered a big man, at most eleven or twelve years old, and he was still a primary school student in modern times!

The distance to the well at the head of the village was only about 500 meters, but Lin Qiao walked for a quarter of an hour. It was really because the two wooden barrels were too big and heavy, and the original owner was too thin.

There was no one at the well, Lin Qiao was overjoyed, that's great, I have to get the water up quickly when there is no one, or else there will be too many people later, and I have to queue up, and then I will be late when I go back, and I will be scolded again.

Lin Qiao put down the wooden barrel in his hand, picked up the public small wooden barrel tied with a hemp rope, grabbed one end of the rope, and threw the barrel upside down into the well. Within a few seconds, he heard a "boom" from the well. With a sound, he pulled the rope. It was heavy, and it should be full of water, so he slowly pulled the rope up again.

The bucket filled with water was very heavy, especially for Lin Qiao's current thin body, it was even heavier.He couldn't help complaining in his heart, why not pretend to be a well?Just like the wells in the north in the early years, when he used to travel, he tried to lift the water up with a wheel, and it was very easy!

After filling the two large wooden barrels, Lin Qiao was already sweating profusely, and his palms were red and hot, thinking that the first time he was forced by Aunt Bai to carry water, his palms were bleeding from the hemp rope. Well, it's still not good yet!

He was standing there gasping for breath when a woman came over with two empty buckets and said with a smile, "Little brother from the Bai family, just recovering from your illness, Aunt Bai asked you to work? She received so much money from the Chu family. Why don't you let me take a rest for the hire money? It's too shameless!"

Lin Qiao smiled embarrassingly, greeted the woman, then picked up a bucket of water with both hands and walked slowly to Aunt Bai's house.After walking for about 20 meters, he put down the bucket and went back to carry another bucket. His current body is too thin to bear a load of water on his shoulders, and he is not used to carrying a pole, so he can only use this kind of moving It's a stupid way to move around.

At this time, several women came over, chattering, "Look at him, a man is going to marry another man, but he is not shy at all."

"Why aren't you ashamed? Didn't he run away a few days ago, was caught back, and was almost beaten to death by the couple of the Bai family. And how can he decide this major marriage? Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, his parents They are gone, of course his uncle and aunt are in charge, what a pity for such a handsome little brother!"

"What a pity? Such a large dowry, that's 300 taels of silver! We won't be able to earn 300 taels in a few lifetimes, and my sister-in-law is still dreaming all day long, saying that if someone wants to take her second boy, she only needs half of the dowry. All willing."

"Just the second boy of your sister-in-law's family, worth 150 taels of silver? She's dreaming! He's so ugly, one ten-thousandth of that of little brother Bai? He's still limping, why didn't she say that she married her eldest son?" ?”

"Then how can she agree, the eldest son is going to carry on the family line."

"Then tell me, how did you consummate the house when little brother Bai married?"

"How do you consummate the house? Poke your ass! My natal uncle used to work in Qingcheng, and said that there are male prostitutes who sleep with men in the city!"

"Really? Aren't you afraid of shit when you poke your ass?"

……

Several women laughed together, Lin Qiao sighed, I haven't gone far yet!You just talk about me loudly like this, okay?

But Lin Qiao is not very angry when people talk about him like this. He is Lin Qiao in the 21st century, and he and the little brother of the Bai family are basically two people. He will go back sooner or later.

He was only slightly shocked by such a strange thing as a man marrying someone. After all, he, a good young man in the 21st century, can travel to ancient times, and such unreal things can happen, so other things are not counted. thing, and he might be able to travel back to modern times in a few minutes, the embarrassing thing of being married has nothing to do with him.

Lin Qiao is looking forward to wearing it back every day, and has no intention of adapting to the life here at all. He just thinks about living one day at a time, maybe he will wear it back tomorrow.

However, although he didn't take the initiative to inquire about things here, he learned a lot passively.

Thanks to the hard work of carrying water these past few days, although he was very tired, he learned a lot about the situation here through these chattering women.

First of all, it is very rare for a man to marry a man here. It seems that he is the only case in a radius of tens of miles.

Fortunately, this is the case. If it is a BL for all people, then he will have to worry about death!He is a straight straight man, let him stab a man's ass and kill him!

As for why he wanted to marry, the reason seems strange in modern times, but it was very common in ancient times, and it was the feudal superstition such as the horoscope of birth date.

I heard from these water-carrying women that the son of the Chu family in Xiaolinzi Village had a very prosperous birthday.Lin Qiao was speechless. Can you believe such a fantasy?And this Mr. Chu is really weird, why is he so prosperous, even a man under the age of 12, Brother Bai, can accept it. Is there no woman in this world who has the same birth date as Brother Bai?

Secondly, he also knew something about this little brother Bai.This little brother Bai went back to Shangmu Village with his mother years ago, and they had never been back before.

I heard from those women that his mother was a helper in a rich family before, and she came back dressed very well this time, with only a few bags, she was not poor, but unfortunately, the new year is not over yet!His mother died of illness.

As soon as little brother bai's mother died, little brother bai was betrothed by his uncle and aunt, and he was the one who was going to marry.

For this matter, Brother Bai resisted and ran away, but he was caught and beaten to death.Thinking of the first day Lin Qiaochuan came here, he was lying on the pile of straw with scars all over his body and had a high fever.It should be that little brother Bai has just been beaten to death, and his modern soul of the 21st century has taken over his body.

As for getting married right after the mother died, Lin Qiao couldn't understand it at first. In ancient times, didn't parents have to observe filial piety for three years after their parents passed away, and they were not allowed to get married within these three years?How could it be enough to come to Brother Bai?

Later, I heard those twittering women say that after the death of their parents, children are indeed obliged to observe filial piety for three years, and it is true that they are not allowed to marry during this period, but it is still possible during the Hundred Days of Filial Piety.

Thirdly, he also learned about the situation here. Shangmu Village is not a big or small village. There are probably less than [-] households in it, and exactly [-] households in Xiamu Village, forming a mile.Because of the mountain, there are not many farmlands, and they are relatively poor!Most of the villagers in the village have the surname Hu, and the Bai surname is a small surname. There are only a few households in the village, but because they are in the same family as the big landlord Bai in Xiamu Village, and Lizheng is also surnamed Bai, they are not bullied by people surnamed Hu.

It's just that the so-called uncles and aunts of this little brother Bai are not good things. One likes to gamble, and the other is lazy.

Lin Qiao has a deep understanding of this aspect. On the second day after his fever subsided, he was still unable to stand up!I was caught by that wicked woman to work.As for that uncle Bai, he hasn't seen him until now, and it is said that he took his bride price and went to the town to gamble.

As for which dynasty he is in now, these women know that it is the Great Jin Dynasty.

Although Lin Qiao didn't know history by heart, he was still very familiar with it, thanks to those "Hundred Schools Lecture Forum" and TV series.In history, there was a Jin Dynasty, which was the dynasty after the famous Three Kingdoms. The founding emperor was Sima Yan, and his father was Sima Zhao in the well-known idiom "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone".By the way, there was also a great calligrapher Wang Xizhi in the Jin Dynasty.

However, people here don't know anything about the Three Kingdoms, and they don't even know what the emperor's surname is. This makes it impossible for Lin Qiao to judge whether the Great Jin Dynasty mentioned by these women is the Jin Dynasty he knows.

It is understandable that the villagers do not know about the Three Kingdoms. After all, the story of the Three Kingdoms is widely circulated from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Luo Guanzhong in the late Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It's even more impossible to know this.

From the clothes worn by the villagers, Lin Qiao couldn't tell much. The men all wore burlap and short brown, that is, tops and pants, and the women were similar, but the color was brighter.This is similar to what civilians wear on TV. It is really hard to tell which dynasty it is, but the Tang Dynasty and Qing Dynasty can be directly ruled out. As for the reason!Anyone who has watched TV dramas knows that the folk customs in the Tang Dynasty were open, women were all bare-chested and exposed, and their hairstyles were complicated, while the Qing Dynasty was conservative, the clothes were obviously different from previous dynasties, and men still had big braids.

As for the geographical location, Lin Qiao can directly exclude the north. People here eat rice, so it's obviously the south!Although rice is also produced in the Northeast, the climate is different at first glance.As for where it is in the south, it must not be the hot weather provinces like Yunnan and Guangxi, otherwise it would not be so cold now.

Lin Qiao sighed, as long as it wasn't worn in the war-torn era, you can do anything else!Maybe he will put it back on when he wakes up tomorrow morning!

As for what the women just said about getting married and consummating the house, he didn't take it to heart at all. He always thought that he would travel back soon, and shameful things like getting married and consummating the house had nothing to do with him.

Touching his belly that was rumbling all the time, Lin Qiao tightened his belt so that his stomach would not feel so hungry.Pulling himself together, he carried the bucket and continued to walk to Bai's house, filling his stomach before talking.

After entering the yard, she was scolded by Aunt Bai again, but Lin Qiao ignored her, lifted the bucket, poured water into the tank, and then carried two empty buckets to the well until the tank was filled with water. The two barrels were also full, so Aunt Bai agreed with him to cook.

Breakfast is very simple, that is, the rice bran left over after pounding the rice is added to the broken rice to make porridge, and then served with dried pickled radish.

Don't ask how Lin Qiao, a young man in the 21st century, knew rice bran. Thinking of this, he felt itchy with hatred. On the second day after his high fever subsided, that is, the fourth day after he crossed over, he was caught by Aunt Bai. The wicked woman pulled him up from the straw, stuffed a mallet about the same height as others into his hand, and told him to go to the utility room to pound rice.

At that time, he couldn't even stand still, but he had to hold a rice pounding pestle weighing at least six or seven kilograms, and stay in the smelly sundry room to pound rice. After a few minutes of pounding, his thin arms were weak and unable to lift up.

How could Lin Qiao, who lived in the technologically advanced 21st century, have suffered this kind of suffering!He threw down the mallet on the spot and quit, but was soon overwhelmed by Aunt Bai's words, "Don't even think about eating until you finish your work."

If he doesn't eat, he will starve to death. Although he wants to go back, he only hopes to "wake up" instead of being beaten to death or starved to death. Don't not only not go back, but really die That's too bad, he hasn't lived enough yet!

It took him a long time to pound a mortar of rice, and then he used a bamboo sieve with small holes to sieve the rice to remove the mixed rice bran and broken rice.After finishing the work of pounding rice, he almost died of exhaustion.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao couldn't help scolding people in his heart, it's so wicked, it's simply child labor abuse!

Although he has always regarded his life after crossing as filming, why is this drama so miserable?How wonderful it would be to travel to the Duke's family and let him enjoy the life of Jia Baoyu!

Lin Qiao poured the cooked rice bran and broken rice porridge into a stoneware bowl and brought it to the table, and then Aunt Bai came in to eat.

Lin Qiao couldn't eat these things when he first passed through, and when he swallowed, it was like a saw cutting his throat.He really couldn't understand, didn't the couple receive 300 taels of dowry from the Chu family?Why not eat better?Even if you can't eat rice porridge, at least you don't need to put bran in the broken rice!

But you have to eat if you can't eat, or you will starve to death.And Aunt Bai also drank this, and she quickly finished a bowl of "Zi Liu Liu", and she didn't look like she couldn't swallow it at all.

Lin Qiao sighed, the lives of ordinary people in ancient times were really miserable!
