If you want to live in this ancient farmhouse, you must first solve the problem of food and housing.If it is to live in, the abandoned house can be considered a good place to live if it is simply repaired and tidied up. If it is to eat, ask Mrs. Lan for help, and I will return it later.

Li Banxi has always felt that it is wrong to eat and drink for free. Although they feel that they should help when they are in trouble, they will definitely repay this kindness in the future.

The problem now was that he needed a shower.

After waking up, he felt uncomfortable. His bones felt as if he had been run over by a wheel, and his skin and flesh ached in many places. It must have been beaten by the group of people who robbed him at that time. In addition, his hair was messy and his clothes were torn and dirty. I feel more and more that I should clean up first.

Although those two sons are dumb, they are also discerning. Seeing Li Banxi's face covered in dust, his whole body in a mess, and his appearance of hesitant to speak, he guessed in his heart, and said: " This young man..."

Li Banxi smiled and said: "Stop calling me young master, call me Banxi! Li Banxi."

When he smiled, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his eyes curved into a half crescent shape, and the little mole between his eyebrows became more lively, and his original abjection was reduced by two or three points.

Once again, the second son couldn't help but secretly praised him in his heart, saying that he had a wonderful life, and hurriedly said: "Li Banxi...that's a good name, there are plum trees planted in front and back of the village, and there is a small stream flowing in front of the mountain. The scenery of the village is so fascinating that it was named like this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Lan knocked him on the head, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, can someone who has studied be compared with ours? There is no explanation like yours, and you won't be laughed at." Big teeth!"

The second son was aggrieved and said in a low voice: "I also studied for two years..."

"Come on!" Aunt Lan didn't save him this time, "I was scolded by my husband every day and ran away after reading... You still have the face to say it!"

The old man just shook his head and laughed while drinking, but the three of them looked like ordinary farmers, ordinary and warm.

The second son was afraid that she would reveal all the past, so he hurriedly said: "Mother! You interrupted me like this, I almost forgot, Banxi hasn't bathed yet!"

Seeing the three of them staring at him, Li Banxi was a little embarrassed, blushed slightly and said with a smile: "You guys are laughing, I haven't cleaned up since I woke up, and I don't even know what I look like. Now I'm sore and look like a mess." , getting more and more upset."

Needless to say, this Li Banxi looks good after learning the language of the ancients, maybe because he usually watches too many costume dramas.

Aunt Lan saw that he was so polite, she pretended to be angry and said: "Don't be so polite next time! You are in a difficult situation, we will help if we can, if you have any difficulties in the future, just mention it, if you don't mention it, you will be out of touch. "

Li Banxi said "OK", and the second son handed him a set of clean blue cloth clothes: "I cut these at the market a few days ago, it may not fit your figure, but it is new, and this cloth towel, It's also the same color."

Li Banxi took the clothes and thanked him, then followed the second son to the bathing place.

The bathing room is separate, next to a large tank full of water, which is quite convenient.

Li Banxi looked at the half of the tank of water, and finally saw his own face.This appearance is no different from his face in modern times, only a few years younger, and the person in the reflection looks young and immature, only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"The hot water was just boiled, and it's still hot! The cold water is over there, just use a small basin to pour it in. I'll bring the hot water for you later and you can wash."

"Thank you bro."

When the hot water was brought, Li Banxi closed the door, and just as he took off his shirt, he found a jade pendant hanging from the waist of the white inner coat.

The jade pendant looked like the original jade, with a transparent body and the same shape as the one he touched before crossing, but upon closer inspection, some details were different, such as the lack of delicate patterns and the conspicuous red threads in the jade.

Li Banxi touched it, but there was no response, it was still the same place.

It should be the jade worn by the original owner himself!He thought, now it is necessary to live well, either to trigger the mechanism halfway through and wear it back, or to spend the rest of the life until birth, old age, sickness and death, even if you can't wear it back, it will be considered as a lifetime.

Thinking like this, he felt much more at ease, and soaked his whole body in hot water.Until now, he was completely relaxed.

After taking a bath, Aunt Lan asked him to rest at her home for one night, and then went to repair the abandoned house tomorrow. He thought that the abandoned house was indeed uninhabitable for the time being, so he stopped being coy, but his gratitude to Aunt Lan's family was even greater in his heart. Victory level.

Li Banxi was lying on the bed, his aching body felt much better after soaking in hot water for a while, but somehow he couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned, thinking about how to survive in the future.

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. It happened that he, a modern person, did not know all kinds of martial arts moves, so he naturally would not enter the military camp;He didn't know some traditional characters, let alone calligraphy, and hadn't memorized a few Song poems, so he wasn't even qualified to sell calligraphy.

If you can’t sell calligraphy, what about selling paintings?He is a painter in modern times, but he mainly works on comic illustrations. He has never studied traditional Chinese painting, so I don't know if he can sell it.

The moonlight shines in from the skylight and the small windows in the wall, like water, brightening the whole room.Li Banxi's originally impetuous heart also settled down.What are you impatient about?The relatives there are not there yet, so there is nothing to worry about. If he can't sell the painting, is he a grown man with arms and legs afraid of starving to death?

Thinking of this, he put the matter behind him and fell asleep in a moment.

The ancients paid attention to "work at sunrise and rest at sunset".At dawn, every household in this small village started to light a fire and cook. The white smoke came out of the chimney and gradually dissipated in the air. After a while, several men in gray cloth were carrying hoes and other A tool with a strange shape and no name stepped out of the house and started a new day of field work.

Three or two young women with rouge on their faces took their children to the primary school, and those children were restless, carrying cloth bags on their backs, their minds and eyes following the colorful butterflies dancing in the field. up.

Li Banxi was awakened by knocking on the door.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, but the ceiling in front of him was not the familiar ceiling... He sat up and shook his sleepy head, only to remember that he was in the Song Dynasty.

"I'm really not used to it..." Li Banxi thumped his waist. There was only a thin cushion under him, and his back was a little sore from the pressure, but it was much better than yesterday's feeling of being run over by a wheel.

"Banxi! Are you up yet?" Er Zi's voice came from outside the house. He had already cooked the meal early in the morning, but Li Banxi couldn't get up for a long time. He was thinking how many people needed to repair and tidy up the dilapidated house today. Don't be lazy. , and came to the house to wake him up.

"I'll be right away, brother!" Li Banxi quickly put on his coat, Ma Liuer made up the mattress, and after breakfast, he followed Aunt Lan's family to the abandoned house.

The second son unloaded the bamboo baskets on his back, entered the house, first looked around and then tapped on several places, and after a long time, he said: "This room is solidly built, and the four beams are square. It is very well done. As for whether the wall is good-looking or not, it’s just for decoration, so it’s okay to fill it up with white ash when you have time in the future.”

"The bed, drinking utensils, tables and chairs are all available in this room, but there is too much dust, and the bedding is unusable. Fortunately, I have extra clothes and bedding at home. You can use it temporarily, and I will add it later!"

Li Banxi saw that he was very attentive, so he knew that he was really warm-hearted, so he just thanked him: "Thanks to the elders." He is not a person who can speak beautiful words, and he is afraid that the words will be self-defeating, so he doesn't speak anymore, but secretly swears in his heart Kindness will never be forgotten.

Several of them were farmers, so they didn't say much after learning about the situation. They just rolled up their sleeves and started tidying up. The house might not be too big, but it will be finished at noon.

The second son did these tasks quickly, and after an hour, he renovated the small courtyard surrounded by the abandoned fence outside the house.Li Banxi secretly praised: The ancients are strong in craftsmanship!

Several people washed their hands and sat in the house to eat dry food. The second son asked Li Banxi: "How will you live in the future? The fields here have been divided, but this is far away from the government. You can reclaim a piece of wasteland and use it first."

Li Banxi smiled wryly: "Brother, I'm not afraid of making fun of you when I say it. I didn't know anything about farming since I was a child. If I wanted to study, it would take three to five years before I could eat. I'm afraid I would have starved to death by then!"

The second son scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and Aunt Lan scolded: "You child, can you be like a vulgar person like you? Why can't you get together when you are still sick and work all day?"

The second son also said: "It's also because I didn't think about it. A scholar in Banxi can be a teacher, and he can sell calligraphy and paintings. Walking eastward from our main road for an hour is the market, which is very lively in the morning. Read! If you don’t pay attention to it, you can eat and wear the calligraphy and paintings. It’s just..."

Seeing the embarrassed expression of the two sons, Li Banxi asked puzzledly: "Just what?"

"It's just that I don't have a wife or child at home, and naturally I don't have pens, ink, paper and inkstones. I may have to go to the street to buy them."

Li Banxi smiled and said: "Brother, and Aunt Lan, uncle, your family has treated me as much as a mountain. Now that I have hands and feet, I can no longer accept your help." After speaking, he saw a thin ax hanging on the wall , pointing and continued, "There are already tools in this family. I can't eat and drink for free even if I sell some money by chopping firewood."

"Chopping firewood? I'm afraid you won't be able to take it with your body..." Aunt Lan saw that Li Banxi was thin and fair, and thought he had no strength.

"It's okay, if you really have nothing to eat, you will become powerful if you are weak."

Seeing that Li Banxi had made up his mind, several people stopped dissuading him. The second son kindly reminded him: "When it comes to cutting firewood, the firewood in the Zhongshan Mountain in front of our village is the best for sale. You can go there. I will show you the way later. But you have to pay attention." , there are spiritual creatures in this mountain, you must not offend them easily, if you don't offend them, they will not take the initiative to hurt you."

"No need, big brother." Li Banxi smiled, naturally he didn't take the matter of spiritual objects to heart, and refused, "You have already spent your own time helping me, I will go by myself after a while, this road is clear and undetoured , I can touch it myself."

"Alright, then be careful!" Aunt Lan's family put down some clean bedding and clothes and left.

After resting for a while, Li Banxi put the thin ax into the bamboo basket and put it on his back, and set off facing Zhong Shan.

The mountain roads are not detours, and most of them are not as rugged as imagined. Li Banxi was a little tired after climbing halfway up, so he planned to go to a flat rock on the left to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, he had just walked a few steps towards the stone when he heard a slight shrill cry. He thought there was someone in the mountain, so he stopped and listened carefully.

But the sound never came.

He just pretended that the things he had encountered in the past few days were extremely absurd, and he didn't rest for a while and had auditory hallucinations, so he continued to move forward.

As soon as he took a step, the voice appeared again, higher and thinner than before.

This time, Li Banxi believed that it was not his ears that had a problem. He looked around the empty area and asked tentatively, "Is anyone there?"

No one responded.

He raised his head and asked again: "Is anyone there?"

It was very quiet around, not even the slightest wind.

All of a sudden ghosts, mountain gods and foxes came into his mind, Li Banxi's legs went limp for a moment, his back was sweating, and after atheism was firmly established in his heart, he recalled the conditions for the voice to appear.

The sound appeared when he was walking, and disappeared as soon as he stopped, so he lowered his head and paced back and forth facing the moss under his feet.

The sound was really continuous, filling Li Banxi's eardrums for a while.He paced slowly, listening carefully, and finally found one thing: the sound came from under his feet.

Li Banxi squatted down and observed the moss carefully. After a while, he discovered that part of it could move!

He thought his eyes were dazzled, closed his eyes and opened them again, and wanted to touch them, but the moss suddenly rushed out of the soil, and a small light green figure with moss on his head popped out!

So, time travel is far from exciting enough, do we need to have a yin and yang eye?
