The warm life of farming

"Actually, I'm not from this world."

After Mu Yuan quietly said this sentence, he stopped talking, thinking to give the other party a little buffer time, and he just organized his own words.

An Ran was stunned, what does it mean to be someone who is not from the world, then, what could that be?Why didn't he speak anymore... An Ran just felt creepy at the moment!The room was dim, taking advantage of the moonlight, he could only see Mu Yuan's figure, but he definitely couldn't see his face clearly.No matter how mature An Ran is, he is only a 14-year-old boy. He wanted to turn his head to look at Mu Yuan, but he was also afraid of seeing something that he shouldn't see, so he froze on the kang for a while and dared not move.

Mu Yuan said again: "I..., I came from another world. I don't know if you understand."

clear?understand what?From the corner of her eye, An Ran saw that Mu Yuan seemed to have turned his head to look at her, and An Ran's heart jumped in shock.

Mu Yuan saw that An Ran hadn't responded for a long time, so he wondered, "Are you asleep? Why didn't you talk?"

Hearing An Ran's suppressed trembling voice, she replied in a low voice: "No..., I was thinking about what the young master said just now."

"Oh!" Mu Yuan just wanted to find someone to confide in his depression, so he didn't think too much, and said as if deliberately challenging An Ran's nerves: "When I came out of the water, I really didn't expect it to be like this. Come to another world so suddenly, hey, don’t you think it’s strange.”

From, out of the water?An Ran looked at the roof in horror, always felt that there was something in the darkness, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she said softly: "Young Master, the room is dark, can you light the oil lamp?"

"Okay! Come on!" Mu Yuan actually wanted to light up the lamp a long time ago, but the room was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, and couldn't sleep.But he was too embarrassed to disturb An Ran's sleep, so An Ran proposed to light the oil lamp, which was exactly what he wanted.

Hearing Mu Yuan's cheerful voice, An Ran trembled for some reason.He dragged his body which had been stiff for a long time to the ground, and hit the flint with trembling hands for a long time before lighting the oil lamp.

When Mu Yuan saw that the room was lit up, he didn't want to lie down on the kang anymore, so he sat up straight away.Turning around, he found that An Ran was holding an oil lamp behind his back and didn't know what he was doing, so he shouted, "What are you doing? Come here!"

"Oh." An Ran put the oil lamp on the table, turned around slowly, kept her head down, but didn't look towards Mu Yuan.

An Ran sat far away from Mu Yuan, and Mu Yuan didn't care, he was in a state of venting and confiding.

"When I saw you on the river beach today, I thought I was saved. Who would have thought that such unlucky people would travel through thousands of years and come to this ancient time of unknown dynasties? What should I do in the future~ ~~."

"Ah?" An Ran looked at Mu Yuan in surprise, and didn't care whether she was afraid or not.Confused, he asked, "Traveling through time?"

"Well," Mu Yuan said with a helpless expression, "I traveled here from a world thousands of years later."

"Thousands of years?" An Ran was dizzy.

So Mu Yuan told An Ran in detail the whole process from the trip to the accident.An Ran was surprised when she heard it, and after listening to it, she frowned and looked serious, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, An Ran said: "I understand the general meaning of this, but this matter of traveling through time and space... is really hard for people to accept."

Mu Yuan knew that An Ran didn't trust her very much, so he said, "You wait."

After speaking, he got off the kang, took the backpack and began to rummage through the contents.An Ran watched curiously, and saw Mu Yuan turned around for a long time, and took out a black rectangular object.

Mu Yuan held the mobile phone, handed it to Mu Yuan and said, "See, this thing is called a mobile phone, and this is something that only existed in our era."

An Ran turned over and over with her mobile phone, but she couldn't see anything.

Mu Yuan said again: "It's a pity that it's soaked in water and can't be turned on."

"Start up?"

"Well, look, it's just this button, just keep pressing it, but I don't know if it will work or not."

An Ran didn't dare to let go of the power button, and suddenly felt the phone vibrate and make music sounds. This accident gave An Ran a shock, and dropped the phone with a bang.Seeing the response from the phone, Mu Yuan was overjoyed, and rushed forward to catch it.

"How can it move and make noise?" An Ran asked in shock.

Mu Yuan didn't care about answering An Ran's question at the moment, and was burying his head in his mobile phone. He tried to make a few calls, but they were not within the service area. He tried to send a text message and posted it, which was extremely frustrating.

"It's useless." Mu Yuan smiled wryly at An Ran while holding the phone. "Sure enough, I can't get out, and my last hope is gone."

If An Ran only had 3 points of trust just now, now after seeing the phone, she has 9 points of trust.

After An Ran regained her composure, she asked, "Does the young master have any plans in the future?"

Mu Yuan fiddled with his phone depressedly and said in a low voice, "What are your plans? I really don't know what to do after tomorrow."

It was also the first time for An Ran to encounter such a bizarre thing, so he thought for a while and said, "Young Master, you can go to some temples or Taoist temples and ask, maybe there is an expert who can help you go back?"

Mu Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't dare to talk about this kind of thing. If someone finds out, I might be burned as a monster. I only told you because I thought you were a child."

An Ran was dissatisfied: "I am already 14 years old, I am no longer a child."

Mu Yuan raised his phone with a smirk and said, "Hey, you want to be a man at the age of 14? Come, come, let me take a picture of our little man."

An Ran saw Mu Yuan pointing the phone at her, a blinding white light flashed in front of her eyes, and only heard a click.

"What are you doing, son?" An Ran rubbed her eyes and asked in bewilderment.

Mu Yuan smiled and handed over the phone to An Ran and said, "Hey, you can see for yourself!"

An Ran picked up the phone curiously and looked at the screen, and saw a handsome young boy on the screen looking at him curiously with wide open eyes.

"Ah!" An Ran exclaimed, "This, is this me?"

Mu Yuan asked curiously, "Huh? Don't you know what you look like?"

An Ran shook her head and said, "I've seen it from the reflection in the water, I only know about it, but I've never seen it so clearly."

Mu Yuan was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that he had never seen a mirror in An's house, so he asked, "Is there no mirror in this era?"

An Ran shook her head: "Of course there is. It's just a small bronze mirror that costs 3 renminbi. My family doesn't have a daughter, so I didn't waste the money."

"Oh~~" Mu Yuan nodded, and then asked, "How much is 3 coins?"

"..."

Mu Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I didn't buy things with silver in those days, we all used RMB or something."

An Ran thought for a while and said: "Since the young master wants to live in this place, I don't know if it's okay to convert money into money, so let me tell you."

Mu Yuan was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

An Ran seriously taught: "One tael of silver is equal to 10 qian, and 1 qian is 100 copper coins. Do you remember this?"

Mu Yuan was taking notes in a small notebook, and nodded upon hearing this.

An Ran continued: "In this way, 1 tael of silver is equal to 1000 Wen copper coins. 1000 Wen copper coins can also be called Yiguanqian or Yitangqian."

Mu Yuan was puzzled: "Why are there so many names, it's so troublesome."

An Ran said: "Just remember, we all remember like this."

"..." Mu Yuan nodded quickly, expressing his understanding.

An Ran was satisfied, and continued: "1 tael of gold is equal to 10 taels of silver, which is 10 guanqian. This is our silver-to-coin conversion."

"Oh~" Mu Yuan asked again: "Then how much do you spend here every year?"

An Ran thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about other places. My family needs 6 taels of silver every year, but I also heard that the people in the city spend more than my family for 10 years."

Mu Yuan clicked his tongue when he heard that, 6 taels of silver is only 6000 Wen, and a small bronze mirror costs 300 Wen, what can Lu 6 taels do?Although I knew that Anjia was poor, I didn't expect life to be so difficult. "

Mu Yuan suddenly thought of something again, and asked An Ran, "Then how much does your family earn from farming each year?"

An Ran said: "The income from farming every year, after deducting the taxes, there is less than 9 taels of silver left. If you subtract 6 taels and pay back some debts, there is basically nothing left."

Mu Yuan was dumbfounded, An Ran glanced at Mu Yuan and said: "When we first came to Xujia Village, we had nothing. If it wasn't for someone's help, we would have starved to death by now. Later, my mother died of illness... In fact, we owe a lot of money. I have almost paid back my money these years, so I can save some money in the future."

Mu Yuanxin

Thinking about the difficult times in the ancient times, what will I do when I leave Xujia Village tomorrow morning.

Mu Yuan worriedly asked An Ran: "How do you make money besides farming? I'm penniless here, and I'll starve to death if I go out."

An Ran sighed and said, "The village is all about farming, and the county town is about doing small business. If you can read and write, you can find a job easier."

Mu Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I do know our characters, but the characters of your era are not good enough. When I first entered the village, I saw a stone tablet at the entrance of your village. I thought about going up to have a look. As a result, I didn’t know a single word.”

An Ran said with a smile: "Young master must have been born in a wealthy family. He was used to stretching out his clothes, stretching out his hands to eat, and opening his mouth since he was a child. If you think about it, you can't do any rough work." Probably because Mu Yuan told him such a big secret. , so this conversation is not so unfamiliar and polite, and Mu Yuan is also joking about it.

Mu Yuan smiled awkwardly, and then murmured: "Yeah, after thinking about it, it's really like this. Although my father didn't care about me and married me a stepmother, he really didn't treat me badly materially,... In fact, thinking about it, my stepmother is not bad, she even gave birth to a younger brother for me."

While talking, Mu Yuan lowered his head, choked up.Seeing this, An Ran didn't know how to comfort him.

After a while, Mu Yuan rubbed his eyes indiscriminately, raised his head and smiled at An Ran, "Hehe, it's really embarrassing, it's the first time crying in front of a child."

An Ran looked at Mu Yuan's red eyes, afraid that he would think of something sad again, so she deliberately pretended to be angry and said, "I'm not a child."

Mu Yuan burst into tears and said with a smile: "Forget it, you were a brat in my time."

An Ran asked curiously, "What will it look like in a thousand years?"

"Hmm..." Mu Yuan raised his head and thought for a while, then said to An Ran: "How about this, let me give you a few examples. First, humans in our era can fly in the sky with tools, and second, humans can also fly in the sky By riding a vehicle, you have landed on the moon, oh, the moon is the moon."

This news was even more impactful than seeing the phone just now. An Ran stared at her eyes for a long time but couldn't recover. , that is, the human beings after a thousand years have inserted a pair of wings for themselves.

Afterwards, An Ran told Mu Yuan to verify her own imagination. Seeing An Ran's silly look, Mu Yuan laughed out loud. Halfway through the laugh, he was afraid of waking Father An and the others, so he held back abruptly.Mu Yuan began to tell An Ran about airplanes, trains, cars, etc., and the two chatted like this until midnight before going to sleep.
