More than a quarter of an hour later, Fang Tianlin came to the only Li River in Canglin County where he could draw water without paying.There are people coming and going on the pier, some are washing clothes, some are washing vegetables, and more are carrying water like him.

Fang Tianlin stepped down the steps, looking at the water of the Li River, which was no different from the water of the Sha River, he just wanted to ask the sky speechlessly.Where did he end up?The loess plateau is the only thing he can think of outside the city. The problem is that the water system of the Loess Plateau is like this?

Regarding this point, Fang Tianlin really didn't know.Even if he saw it occasionally on TV and knew that in the era he lived in, many places on the Loess Plateau were short of water, he never had the opportunity to truly experience it personally, so naturally he didn't feel deeply.As for the rivers flowing through the Loess Plateau, except for the Yellow River, I still have a little impression, and I don't know anything about it.Now that he experienced it himself, he realized how difficult it is for the people living in this land.

Fang Tianlin picked up a load of muddy water and poured it into the water tank, and picked it up several times before filling one of the water tanks.After resting for a while, he washed the bucket with space water, and turned to pick up fresh water.

The nearest drinking well to the small courtyard is in the alley in front of their house.Yamen servants come and go here from time to time, which has a lot to do with this well.

It's time for dinner now, and there are a lot of people from nearby people coming here to fetch water.When Fang Tianlin arrived, there were still seven or eight people waiting in front of him.There was a man who looked like a yamen servant. He was sitting in a shed next to him, drinking tea and squinting at the people queuing up to fetch water by the well.

Fang Tianlin compared carefully, and found that the bucket he fetched was not as big as the bucket he brought over, so two buckets of water would cost one penny, and the cost of living here was really high.

As soon as he finished sighing, a person beside him overturned the water.The man didn't care about the scratches on his body, and hurried to help the bucket. Looking at the water at the bottom of the bucket, his eyes were red, and he didn't dare to cry because there were officials watching by the side, and the bucket was almost empty. The bucket hurried home.

On the way home, Fang Tianlin happened to run into that person again.He didn't change the wet clothes on his body, probably because he went home and received a training, so he walked extra carefully this time.

Fang Tianlin just glanced out of the corner of his eye, and that person didn't attract much of his attention.There are so many poor people here that he can't even pay attention to them. Not to mention others, the Shen family is only a little better than the poor, and it's not his turn to show kindness.

Fang Tianlin was a little helpless, on the first day he and Shen Jiahe officially settled down in Canglin County, he spent half the afternoon carrying water.After filling the other tank with clean water, he was finally free.

At this time, Shen Jiahe had already cleaned up the bedroom and kitchen.As for dinner, I still eat dry food.

After walking for a long time and carrying two tanks of water, Fang Tianlin was very tired, fell asleep on the bed after washing up.

In the next few days, Fang Tianlin felt much more relaxed.

Shen Jiahe has been lethargic lately, no one told him to sleep till the sun rises, this provided Fang Tianlin with great convenience.Every day when Shen Jiahe was sleeping, he filled the water tank with space water, and then went outside with the bucket twice to put on a show, and the matter of carrying water was declared over.

After arranging everything at home, Fang Tianlin began to live a life of going out early and returning to the mountains every few days to hunt with dry food on his back.

After arriving in Canglin County, the two spent the life-saving money that the two elders had prepared for them. If they didn't hurry up to find some income, they might not be able to survive this day.

On this day, Fang Tianlin got up early in the morning and went straight out of the city.

Canglin County is backed by the Shangyang Mountains, and a few miles out of the city is Shaoze Mountain, and Fang Tianlin's destination is here.Once at the foot of the mountain, he tightened his cuffs and trousers, and then walked straight inside.This time he was wearing cloth shoes. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains. It's okay to be on the outskirts of the mountains where people come and go, but it's too risky to go inside and wear straw sandals.Being stabbed by a poisonous insect, the money earned from hunting is probably not enough to buy medicine.Fang Tianlin knew how to balance.

This is the first time Fang Tianlin has really entered the deep mountains. In the past, he wandered around the periphery of Shaochong Mountain, and the game he hunted were pheasants and hares. Therefore, he was extra careful this time.

The population of Canglin County is much larger than that of Guangyan Village, and there are more people haunting Shaoze Mountain. Compared with Shaochong Mountain, the surrounding area is much more desolate, and basically all the food that can be eaten is hunted by people.Fang Tianlin walked in for a long time before seeing the shadow of the prey.

This time Fang Tianlin came prepared. The guy who entered the mountain was well prepared. After four months of exploration, plus Shen Jiaxi's half-hearted guidance, as long as he was careful, he was enough to deal with emergencies in the mountain forest.

Fang Tianlin is not that greedy, he only needs to hunt enough common small prey. If he can catch goats and roe deer, it will be an extra reward.However, he did not intend to sell the high-value wild game.He and Shen Jiahe need to avoid people's eyes and ears when they are outside, and they don't want to attract anyone's attention, as long as they can eat and drink, and have a sum of money by their side.

It goes without saying that Fang Tianlin can become an archery coach of a club.But he didn't have a suitable bow and arrow. The homemade hunting bow in his hand was not so accurate. He had to adjust it several times before he gradually got used to it.Fortunately, that was all two months ago, and now his hit rate has been greatly improved.It was only because he announced that he was pregnant that he didn't have many opportunities to enter the mountain to try his hand.

Right now is the golden autumn season, the mountains are full of fruits, and there are many people who harvest autumn.Even in the forests where Fang Tianlin haunts now, there are still people visiting from time to time.

Relying on his superb archery skills, Fang Tianlin also harvested a lot of pheasants and hares.He was extra careful, first put the prey into the back basket, and then put it into the water space.He didn't just focus on hunting. When he saw some good mountain products, he collected them together, and he didn't even let go of the dead branches scattered on the ground.

When the sun was about to set, Fang Tianlin stopped.He counted the harvest of the day. Although he didn't hunt high-value prey, the light pheasant and hare were worth his day's hard work, and this didn't count the wild products that were picked by hand.

When he was approaching the exit of Shaoze Mountain, Fang Tianlin was carrying a small load of firewood and a large basket of wild game, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he strode toward his temporary home.

Entrance fees are required to enter the city, and Fang Tianlin was about to pay out copper coins. Seeing the fiery eyes of the gatekeeper looking at the basket of wild game, he wisely took out a hare: "My poor man, it's been hard work guarding the gate for a day, this one The hare is still fresh, so it’s good to take it back as a snack, and it’s a reward for everyone.”

Seeing Fang Tianlin being so upbeat, the gatekeepers immediately became more friendly and stopped staring at him, and let him enter the city after accepting the entrance fee.

Fang Tianlin didn't feel that these people were powerful, nor did he have much dissatisfaction with them.The place where he used to live paid special attention to interpersonal relationships, and if he would come to trouble, he had a wide network of contacts. Such a person could be enjoyed anywhere, especially in Jingchao.As far as his current status as a farmer is concerned, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

When Fang Tianlin arrived home, it was already late.After a little trimming, he rushed to the evening market with his prey on his back to try his luck and sell a few of them.

Because these game meats had been kept in the water space before, they were not poisoned by the high temperature, and looked very fresh. There were many people visiting the stall, and Fang Tianlin finally sold out the game meats before the end of the evening market.

Seeing that the market was about to close, Fang Tianlin didn't have time to choose carefully, so he bought a few durable vegetables and hurried home in the dark.

When we got home, the courtyard was already lit.Fang Tianlin stretched out his hand and pushed lightly, and the door opened in response to the sound, and the goal was Shen Jiahe, sitting on the threshold and staring at the scene in front of him in the dim light of the oil lamp.

Fang Tianlin fastened the door behind his back, and took the vegetables to the kitchen and put them away.Seeing the food warming on the stove, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he felt distressed, and strode up to Shen Jiahe: "Why don't you eat first?"

"Wait for you."

Fang Tianlin was speechless, of course he knew that Shen Jiahe was waiting for him.Forget it, he didn't bother to ask any more, there were only those kinds of answers, and there was not much difference between asking and not asking.

The dinner was made by Shen Jiahe, and the taste was very average, not as good as Fang Tianlin's.It's not his fault, Shen Jiahe has no education in this area, it's not bad to be able to cook well.

Fang Tianlin didn't pay much attention to it, he had eaten all kinds of meals in the only few field trainings in the army.Besides, he could bear the bland food from the Shen family. Although the taste was mediocre, there were no shortage of condiments that should be there, and it was not so hard to swallow.

It wasn't the first time for Shen Jiahe to cook, but it was the first time to cook such a decent farm meal.In the past, he worked as a part-time job in the town, and his meals were very simple. Most of them were steamed pancakes brought from home, with pickles and the like, and he could fool around easily.

After the meal, Fang Tianlin thought about it, and praised Shen Jiahe: "The taste is okay."

After a while, Fang Tianlin swore that he saw a flash of light in Shen Jiahe's eyes, and when he took a closer look, it was a simple and honest face.If it wasn't for the light red on the tips of his daughter-in-law's ears that hadn't faded completely, he would have thought he was dazzled.

Fang Tianlin is in charge of the family's money, except for a small part of the prey he hid, there is nothing that cannot be explained to Shen Jiahe.This time was the same as usual, he told Shen Jiahe about today's gains and expenses one by one.

Shen Jiahe listened quietly every time, never interjecting.His wife is better at managing money than he is, so he only needs to know roughly how much money is left in the family, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else.This was an idea that came to Shen Jiahe automatically after living with Fang Tianlin for more than four months.

Since having a wife, Shen Jiahe's life is much more comfortable than before, especially after learning that he is pregnant, the standard of eating and drinking has improved a lot compared to before.The fly in the ointment is that he is the one who conceived the child, and it would be great if the wife was pregnant!Every time he thinks about the child, Shen Jiahe's eyebrows get tangled up.He was both happy and a little embarrassed.

Seeing Shen Jiahe's frowning face, Fang Tianlin knew that his daughter-in-law was probably thinking about the child again.He pushed the pile of copper coins in front of Shen Jiahe: "This is today's net profit, I haven't had time to count it, you and I count it together."

Fang Tianlin counted several coins before Shen Jiahe started to act.

Seeing this, Fang Tianlin sighed.Shen Jiahe has such a physical defect, it is true that as long as people with a little bit of a temper, even if they live together, it will be a kind of torture for both parties.

Fang Tianlin thought to himself that he is not a slow person, and even he admires himself for being able to bear the heart and live with such a person who is slow to respond to everything, and he has never felt bored. Could it be that what kind of pot really matches what kind of lid?At this time, Fang Tianlin was still in the mood to make fun of himself, it seemed that he really enjoyed it.
