My ancient leisure life

The rain kept falling outside the window, and the gloomy sky was filled with lightning and thunder. It continued to rain for five or six days, occasionally stopping for a while, but it was also covered with dark clouds.

Fortunately, Xu Nuo said that since he was young and didn't know how to deal with the disaster year, he brought up the drought last year as an example, and told the village chief whether he was starving several times and almost died. Prepare some food.

He also said worriedly that there have been disasters for two years in a row, and he doesn't know what will happen next year, whether he should save more just in case, and finally reminded the village chief to be vigilant, convened the clan elders to discuss the matter, and asked whether the promised grain would increase Keep the price in mind.

In the past few days, people in the village, regardless of their families, braved the rain to carry food back, and the nearby villages were all marrying each other. Their actions immediately alerted other villages and joined in the purchase of food.

Xu promised to prepare the food he needed for his family long ago. When Cheng Ge went to several nearby towns to inquire about the news, he knew that the price of food was going to increase.

Sure enough, I heard the news today that the money has been raised by a penny, and there are more people rushing to buy food.Even when the people in the village heard the news, another group of people went to the town to snap up money. It is estimated that they didn’t buy much, and now they regret buying more to prevent the rise in the future.

Xu Nuo moved away his eyes looking at the rain screen, and said to Cheng Ge who was sitting beside him, "Shall we go buy some food with the villagers?"

"Yeah." Cheng Ge looked at him suspiciously and said, "I still want to buy it."

Their food has already been prepared, enough for the guild hall and the family for two years, and Cheng Ge did not empty-handed when he went out to inquire about the news in various towns, and he brought back a cart of food every time. enough support.

Of course, these were all done in secret, and he didn't take his promise to keep the family's stockpile food a secret. He only thought that he was young, and it was okay to be afraid of these things.

But now hearing what he said again, I couldn't help but think about it carefully. "On the one hand, you want to let outsiders know that we don't have much food in stock, and on the other hand, you still want to store more food, don't you?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Nuo couldn't help saying with a bit of resentment: "I'm afraid that natural disasters will continue and we will starve! Besides, your appetite and your strength don't have to be supported by food."

Seeing that he didn't say that he was afraid that others would know that there was a lot of food at home and cause trouble, Cheng Ge didn't want to expose him and said: "Okay, let's go buy some now, and let the guild hall buy some more openly. "

As long as he promises to do what he wants to do, he will not stop it, let alone such a small matter, it is much better to go out with him than to let him stay at home.

"Boy Nuo, are you here to buy food too?" asked an old woman in the village.

"Yes." Xu Nuo said with a dejected look on his face: "The little grain collected at home is enough for a period of time. I thought I would buy it later, but I didn't expect to catch up with the price increase."

The aunt is an enthusiastic person. She looked around and quietly told Xu Xu: "I also have the same idea as you. I didn't buy much back home a few days ago, but I heard from the village chief and the others that they are afraid that there will be disasters next year. It is best to save more food. I If you are still hesitating, it will catch up with the price increase."

The meaning of what she said was to ask Xu Nuo to buy more food to go back.Knowing that he is making a lot of money now and buying more food is easy, it is also a kind reminder.

"Yeah." Xu Nuo smiled and said, "Thank you Ma'am, I understand."

He bought two thousand catties of grain in a high-profile way and brought it back, and the villagers showed envious eyes when they saw him.They are all a big family, and they just prepare these, and some of them can't even buy so much. This is really making money, and the two of them just prepare these.

"Hahaha." Xu Nuo went home and said with a smile: "This time we all know how much food we have. Even if something happens in the future, we will only lose this food, and we can keep the rest."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Cheng Ge touched his small face and comforted him: "I will protect you and not let you suffer."

He has experience in tribal and army life, so how could he not know the importance of food, and he will plan it all by himself, not to mention the many promises now.

The rain continued for several days, and it didn't stop until half a month. The sky was still gloomy, without a ray of sunshine, as if something was still brewing.

Just in the midst of uneasiness, entering September, there is only a gap in the cloudy sky. With the arrival of autumn wind, the haze is blown away to usher in the long-lost sun.

Just like welcoming the light, all the villagers walked out of the house, the adults had smiles on their faces, and the children ran and played back and forth, as if all the suffering would pass with the light.

But Xu Nuo knows that this is self-comfort, and it can be regarded as self-deception!He is not in a good mood now. Affected by the rain and the rush to buy food, the civilian hall has been closed.

At this time, those ordinary people who still have the mind to entertain, what they need now is to save more food, hold on to every penny in their hands, and prepare for their future life.

Fortunately, the first guild hall is still open as usual, the business has not decreased, and the daily income is still quite a lot, otherwise Xu Nuo will be in trouble.

Promising to stand in the sun and accept the long-lost baptism, the haze in my heart faded away little by little.

He is an open minded person, knowing that the news from Cheng Ge's investigation is that most of the Zhou mansion has no crops, and the lives of the people are becoming more and more difficult, but what can he do!

Now he only hopes that the land where news cannot be found in the distance will not be affected by the disaster, so that the people who can't survive like this will have a place to go far away.

He doesn't want to be like modern times, when one party is in trouble, all parties come to help. In ancient times, there was help, but he didn't know whose pocket it would go into.

A donkey cart in the distance walked in his direction with gentle steps.Xu Nuo's eyes lit up, he didn't care about his sentimentality, and ran past with a cheer like a donkey cart.

"Hahaha." Xu Nuo smiled from afar, "You're back?"

"Yeah." Cheng Ge pulled him into the car and sat down, "It's only a few steps away."

"It's boring!" Xu Nuo sat beside him and said with a smile, "Fortunately, it's sunny and sunny today, so I can go out for a walk. I usually have to stay at home, so boring."

"Erdy came back in the afternoon, and he said he wanted to play with you." Cheng Ge laughed.

"What are you playing?" Xu Nuo frowned, "There is water everywhere, and the road is muddy, I don't want to come out."

Cheng Ge looked down at his shoes, which were covered with mud, and said, "In just a day or two, the road will be dry, don't worry."

"Promise, I'm back." As the evening approached, Cheng Erdan came in from the outside and said happily, "The weather is finally fine. If the rain doesn't stop, people will be moldy."

"That's not it." Xu Nuo said with a smile: "I'm suffocated, you are not here, I just stay at home every day, and I don't even have anyone to talk to."

Erdan smiled: "I came to see you just after I came back, let's eat stewed fish tonight."

"Where did the fish come from?" Xu Nuo asked, seeing that he was holding two fish weighing more than two catties in his hand.

"My dad went to catch it in the river this afternoon." Er Dan said.

"Yo!" Xu Nuo slapped his head and said, "Look, I've already forgotten about it, let's catch it after dinner."

"it is good."

Adults and children gathered by the river, almost completely occupying the side near the village. "So many people!" Xu Nuo saw that several people from each family were catching fish by the river, and even the shallows were occupied by some half-grown children.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Er Dan shook his head and said, "All the good spots are taken, it seems that we can't catch any fish today."

Xu Nuo was a little disappointed and said: "At least it's a meat dish. Not to mention the disaster this year, the whole village will come to try their luck after it rains, hoping to catch some fish and go back."

"Go to the side of the mountain." Cheng Ge glanced at him and said, "The terrain is higher there, there will be more fish than this side, and people in the village will seldom go there."

He knew that Xu Nuo didn't want to eat fish, but wanted to play in the river. Catching fish is almost every teenager's pleasure.

"Okay, let's go quickly." Xu Nuo hurriedly grabbed his arm and said.

Sure enough, there was no one in the river at the foot of the mountain. "Let's go down quickly." Xu Xu put down the basket he was carrying, took off his shoes and was about to go down the river.

"The water here is deep, you go to the shallower place on the other side." Cheng Ge said, taking off his clothes, revealing his muscular back.

The muscles are firm without a trace of fat, and the shoulders are wide and the waist is narrow, which is a manly figure.Xu Nuo stroked his hands enviously, "This body is so muscular, I wish I could grow like this."

A pair of small hands were walking on his body, Cheng Ge couldn't help tensing his body, frowned slightly, ignoring the discomfort in his heart, he pulled his hands down and said, "It's almost dark before we catch fish."

"Hehe." Erdan smiled from the side: "Don't even think about growing up like a cousin. We can't grow up like this."

Xu Nuo pursed his lips and said nothing, this body was even worse than his modern body, how could he dare to hope that he was just envious.

Half an hour later, Xu Nuo stood in the water with his trouser legs arm in arm, looking at the basket in his hand with a dejected expression. There were only two small fish the size of a palm, and more than a dozen small miscellaneous fish that were as long as fingers.

He didn't expect it to be so hard to catch fish, and he and Erdan intercepted them and didn't get a few. "Where did your father catch the big fish? Why can't we catch it?"

"He cast the net with others and got a few big fish." Erdan said, "Like us, it's still in the shallows. It's good to catch some."

He showed Xu Nuo the basket in his hand, there were many small miscellaneous fish in it, and a few palm-sized ones. "Huh?" Xu Nuo went in and pulled it with his hands, and there was another one that weighed a pound.

He looked at his basket, "Oh! I can't catch enough fish for a meal."

"Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang." There was the sound of metal intersecting from the shore.

When they looked up, they saw seven or eight men in black chasing the four men with ferocious faces, vowing to hack them to death.

The four people who were being chased were a young master with a long sword, two dressed like guards, and the one who was blocked by the young master looked like a servant.

After such a scene, Xu Nuo was not afraid, watched them fight together, and said to Erdan: "They are too good, you can see that young man, you know how to dodge back and forth, why not jump on it and fight. "

"He has injuries, and he knows how to protect the people behind him," Er Dan said.

"Damn, let's go up." Xu Nuo pulled him ashore, waved his bare feet and shouted: "Stop, stop, wait a moment."

At this time, the four people became more and more embarrassed. Seeing danger, they all looked at him in unison after being called out by him.

Perhaps those men in black felt that they had the chance to win, so they were not in a hurry to make a move. They all looked at Xu Nuo with a leisurely look.

"It's not good to fight too much, we must value peace." Xu Nuo said with a smile: "If there is any misunderstanding, sit down and talk together. Wouldn't it be a great blessing to shake hands and make peace?"

"Promise." Erdan pulled him nervously and said, "Stop trying to persuade them. Didn't you see the ferocious faces of those people? It's not a good thing at first sight."

"Stinky boy, you are looking for death." One of the men in black was furious when he heard that, "You wait, when the master finishes cleaning them up, it will be your turn. When the time comes, the master will let you live or die."

"Bah." Xu Nuo pinched his waist and said, "What are you, you are worthy of being called our lord, but you are just someone else's running dog, a villain who makes a living by killing people and stealing goods."

At this time, those who were being chased took advantage of the situation to withdraw from their encirclement, and they did not forget to remind them: "Little brother, hurry up, they kill people without blinking an eye, run for your life."

"I want to go." The man in black just said with a smirk, "Brothers, you take care of these four, and I'll go and deal with these two boys, and have fun for everyone."

He smiled maliciously while talking, looked at Xu Nuo and said: "The kid looks good, with red lips, white teeth, white eyebrows and delicate eyes, he looks like a good guy at first glance, sir, I like you."
