If Ayu traveled through the scripts of gods and ghosts that required merit, or even in Liaozhai, it is estimated that he definitely belongs to the category of people who can become a master by relying on merit.

In the past few days, the whole village has benefited from the medicinal materials he taught the villagers. Of course, this is also related to the dispatch of almost the whole family. The medicinal materials collected every day will be cleaned up, and then go to the village. Selling them in the town or the county seat, after a few days, it is the smallest family. Now it has an income of more than ten yuan, which is equivalent to the price of two catties of black noodles. This makes the people in the village rejoice. They usually catch fish, Farming can only barely avoid starvation, and with the income from the medicinal materials, they can finally eat a few meals. The most important thing is that after a few days of picking, they are more familiar with the medicinal materials , Picking is also faster, and if it takes a long time, their income will be more.

You say others are stealing jobs?In the Yuan Dynasty, many Han people were killed, fleeing from famine, and starving to death. According to current statistics, in the Song Dynasty, the population of the Han people was nearly 900 million, but in the Yuan Dynasty, the population dropped sharply to less than 91 million. , The population loss is basically [-]%. This ultimately results in a lot of wasteland and scattered population. Many villages are directly deserted. Although most of the towns and counties are still there, the sharp drop in population makes these places full of depression.

For example, the village where Ayu lives can still maintain a population of more than 20 households. It is already a relatively large village nearby. This is because they live by the Hanshui River, and they can use the river for farming. fish for subsistence sake.

Under such circumstances, if people in the village want to pick medicinal materials, they can choose any place and go around. They can even pick only the grown medicinal materials and keep the small ones for the next time.

Even in the opposite mountain, if there were not many fleeing households who entered the mountain and became half-hunting medicine farmers, it is estimated that there would be a lot less people relying on the mountain to eat.As I said before, Orion is not something that anyone can do. Without a little skill, long-term training, and handy tools, they are all courting death.

Ayu watched the people in the village set off with joyful and hopeful expressions every day, and eat contentedly at night. He felt warm in his heart, and felt as if he had done another very meaningful thing, and even spared a day's time. , took the boys in the village to teach them more wild vegetables by the river, and taught them how to catch fish in baskets.The village accepted him, and he naturally wanted to reciprocate.

Since Zhou Xian practiced martial arts with Ayu and Goudan, his body has gradually become stronger. In addition, he has been eating bone soup and drinking meat these days, and his energy has improved a lot. He is no longer like before. Next year will be like five 61. Seeing that Ayu and the others are gaining almost every day, I also have some thoughts. If I am not honest, I want to rely on this ferry to eat, and start to turn around to increase my income. Anyway Can't be getting further and further away from Ayu this kid isn't it.

He always stops at the two ferries for a period of time when ferrying, firstly to let himself relax, and secondly, he wants to gather a few more people before sailing, so he can charge more money. He always rests on the boat or fishes, but now he doesn't do that anymore, he doesn't join in the fun with the children from the village around his house, but what about on the other side!But no one competed with him, so he simply got into the fishing basket as soon as he got to the other side, and then started picking herbs by himself, and waited until the crowd was almost gone, then stopped, backed up, and waited for the last trip in the evening When I took Ayu and the others home, I picked up the fish basket again, and there was always something to gain, no worse than his fishing.Not to mention, with just such a little effort, his harvest is not small. After all, his ferry is close to the mountain, and there are fewer people coming, so the number of picking is more, and it can be replaced after a day or two. Ten texts.This made Zhou Xian very happy. In this world, there are still people who make money like this. Sure enough, the more you know, the easier it is to make money.

Finally, after the autumn harvest, Ayu tossed and began to want to build a house. It rained several times in a row these days. If Zhou Xian hadn’t planted a lot of thatch after the last rain, he could barely cover the roof. The house is really uninhabitable, even if it is like this, you can always feel that there is a chill in the house, which is the disadvantage of the thatched roof for a long time.

But Ayu didn't expect Zhou Xian to stop him from doing this. The reason is very simple. This is the autumn harvest and everyone has food. Ten times out of ten, the house was not completed, and all the food they had prepared was confiscated by them, so their hard work was in vain.If those yuan soldiers are in a bad mood, it is not uncommon to burn the house.

Ayu was taken aback, he really didn't expect that there was such a reason here, well, he has been here for nearly two months, and he hasn't seen Yuan Bing come yet, it seems that his subconscious is negligent, in this world, It's not a peaceful and prosperous world. Thinking about the descriptions I read in the previous books, Ayu thought about what he should do to avoid these losses.

In fact, he didn't need to think about it. What do the families don't understand after living here for so many years? For the sake of food, they can do anything. This night, just as he was about to fall asleep, Zhou Xian woke him up. With him and Goudan, taking advantage of the darkness, they divided the food into two parts, one big and one small, and put the big cloth bag of food in a bamboo basket and carried it on the shoulder with a pole , went out in the dark, and just walked out of the door, Ayu found that almost every household had men carrying poles like them, and the group stopped when they reached the place where they usually cut bamboo. Walking in the bamboo forest, I finally stopped beside a big stone in the center of a bamboo forest. A few young and strong people put down their things, walked over and pushed the stone away, revealing a big hole. In the place of grain, Ayu felt that his group seemed to be the squirrel, who began to store grain for the winter in autumn.I really didn't expect that the people in the village still have this method. Thinking about each household, there is no cellar in the house. Originally, he thought it was because the people here were poor, so no one thought about building it. He planned to When renovating the house, I was going to dig the cellar. Now it seems that I thought it was simple. The houses in the village are all obvious things. If those Yuan soldiers come to search, if they don’t see the expected food, it is estimated that I also think about the cellar, and I also think about looking through the yards of various houses, and even the so-called bad temper, burning the house, but I can't find the cellar to vent.

It’s still as good as it is, it’s not hidden in the village at all, each family only keeps a little food for a few days, so the possibility of being discovered will be much smaller, and look at this stone, it’s so big, no three or five people can’t move it at all Relatively speaking, the possibility of being exposed is a bit smaller.Sure enough, the wisdom of the working people should not be underestimated, otherwise they would not have continued their ethnic bloodline after the Mongol massacre.

With a little excitement, Ayu picked up things and walked into the cave. Looking at the burning torches in it, he secretly looked at it. The place is actually not big, and it is only forty or fifty square meters. There were nearly thirty large vats, and Zhou Xian was carefully opening the lid of a large vat in the second row on the left, and then put the food they brought from Ayu's hand into it together with the bag. I guess this vat belonged to Zhou Xian's family. Sure enough, after putting away what Ayu brought here and what he had brought with him, Zhou Xian opened another big vat not far away, and put the food in Goudan's hand into it. It belongs to Second Mistress and Goudan's family.Waiting for them to be released, Zhou Xian immediately took them out and let the people behind them in. It took only half an hour, and all the houses were put away. The people who moved the stone put the stone back to its original position, and carefully restored the surrounding area to cover their footprints, and then walked back slowly.No one spoke along the way, and some even looked around vigilantly, for fear that their actions would be discovered.

Ayu watched the whole process very carefully. From the actions of the villagers, he could easily see that they had done this kind of thing more than once. Looking at their cautious attitude, I am afraid that they have suffered a lot to be so comprehensive and meticulous. Thinking about the poor population in the village, Ayu couldn't help thinking, how big should the original village be?How many people lost their lives because of this food?Thinking about the nearly thirty large vats in this cave, he would understand without mentioning that some of them might already belong to ownerless properties, and the disappearance of those owners also represented the loss of population in the village.And this hole is the number one place where grain is stored in this village, he doesn't even know. He can only think that such a process can be formed, and it is possible to make at least two mistakes in the front. Thinking about it this way, he Intuitively my heart felt cold.

But knowing that this is the case, Ayu has nothing to do at this time, he is only seven and a half years old, what ability can he have, even if he grows up, so what can he do?Could it be that he changed his mode all of a sudden, came to dominate the situation, raised the flag of righteousness, and then calmed down the world?Are you kidding?Not to mention whether this can be done, but even if it can be done, it seems that it is not something a small person like him can do.So Ayu can only continue his original life, continue to make a living in the mountains, continue to practice martial arts with dog eggs, go up the mountains, and gather medicine.However, he also immediately changed his usual habit of bringing more food home, and instead brought back two catties of black noodles with dog eggs every day, only to ensure that the rations at home would continue, and all the others were replaced with silver for future preparations. .

Zhou Xian's guess was correct. This day, Ayu took the dog eggs and managed to hunt a roe deer and two pheasants in a place a little deeper than where they usually hunted. They exchanged roe deer and medicinal materials for five taels. Yinzi, the pheasant is going to take home to eat, who wants to walk to the ferry but didn't see Zhou Xian waiting for them there, they were all a little dazed for a while, they didn't know what was wrong, or the dog's reaction was quick, what did they think of? , hurriedly ran to a relatively high place, and looked at the location of his own village opposite.

"Ayu, there is smoke. There is smoke from the direction of the village. It seems that Yuan soldiers have come, and they probably burned the house. Uncle probably went back to the village to see. I don't know what happened in the village this time."

Hearing this, Ayu became anxious, followed up to the high ground, and looked desperately into the distance. Unfortunately, after all, there is a Han River across here, and there are trees on the other side, so what they can see is limited, so he also found After eating the smoke that Goudan said, I couldn't help but feel resentful in my heart, this damn Yuan soldiers, killing people, setting fires, and robbing food, this is the same as the scorpion in the east!They're all demented butchers, rubbish.

At this time, Ayu really wanted to rush directly to the opposite side and kill a few of those Yuan soldiers, but unfortunately he could only look at the water and sigh, they couldn't cross the river, and when he calmed down, he understood even more that he could cross the river He, it is impossible for him to kill people directly, because if he did.Then in the end, the unlucky people can only be the people in their own village. If one or two die, it will be a large army.

At this time, Ayu had a great affection for Zhu Yuanzhang. No matter what he did for the throne, and no matter how tyrannical his heart was, at least he did one thing well. He drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, and he let the Han people regain Becoming the master of this fertile land is a merit, a merit worthy of being passed down through the ages.In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang is no worse than Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu.

Ayu and Goudan just looked at each other stupidly and waited quietly. They knew that Zhou Xian would definitely come to pick them up. Although they were very anxious and wanted to go back quickly, they could only wait .

When the sky was getting dark, they finally saw a boat slowly coming towards this side, the two of them hurriedly rushed down and ran towards the ferry, needless to say, it must be Zhou Xian who came to take them home.

During the time on the boat, none of the three people opened their mouths. It's not that they didn't want to ask, but they didn't know how to ask. There must be losses in the village. They read that they were well prepared, but were there any casualties?Who is hurt?These questions made them very worried, but they couldn't ask them, for fear that if they asked, they would get answers they didn't want.

Waiting for them to enter the village, Ayu was a little dumbfounded. Is this still their village?Half of the houses collapsed, and two houses were burned to the ground. There were faint cries in the doors of every house. Ayu finally couldn't help it. Looking at Zhou Xian, he asked:

"Uncle, how is it?"

The question he asked was very simple, but the meaning was very clear. Zhou Xian sighed, his already rosy face seemed to be a little desolate after this day.

"How could they be reconciled if they didn't find much food! The village doesn't even raise livestock now, and they have nothing to rob, so naturally they want to vent their anger. You have seen it, smashing, looting, just three tricks, fortunately, no one died this time. , It’s just that your Uncle Zhuzi’s leg was broken and he was lying on the bed. Someone from the village went to the town to find a doctor. I don’t want the doctor in the town to be away. I really don’t know what to do in the future. I’m afraid it’s about to be scrapped. There are a few others that are better, but they were beaten up and suffered some flesh injuries.”

As soon as Ayu heard that, that Uncle Zhuzi, who had a hint of humor and was a bit of a naughty boy, had his leg broken, and immediately became anxious, dragging Zhou Xian and ran to his house:

"Then what are you waiting for, go and see."

"What's the use of you going, go back first, and go to see it tomorrow. At this time, his mother-in-law may not be in the mood to greet you."

"What's your greeting? Since he broke his leg, I'm going to help him heal his leg."

"You, cure your legs?"

Zhou Xian was stunned, his eyes were wide open, looking at Ayu, he was a little speechless, even the dog was a little dumbfounded, Ayu stomped his feet, his clothes were pulled by Zhou Xian, and it was hard to break free, and he understood At my age, it's a bit weird to talk about medical skills, so I had to say vaguely:

"I can identify herbs, and naturally understand some common medical skills. When my master was in good health, he took me to hang pots to help the world, and I still don't understand these common diseases. Knowing what to do is better than letting Uncle Zhuzi do it."

Hearing this, Zhou Xian couldn't help but believe it. Also, those who can identify medicinal materials know some common prescriptions, and the illness is indeed reasonable. Thinking about the master Ayu said, he believed it a little more.In this era, monks belonged to the religion of the poor, and Taoists belonged to the religion of the aristocrats, but no matter whether they were monks or Taoists, there were many people who knew medical skills, especially Taoists. They walked in the mountains all year round, liked alchemy and medicine, and they studied medicine more deeply. In this way, it is really possible that Ah Yu knows a little bit, just like what Ah Yu said, even if he has never cured others by himself, but he has seen a lot of his master treating diseases, so he naturally understands what to do.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xian wanted to take them to the pillar without saying a word, but after seeing what Ayu and the others brought back, he turned around and took them back home.As he walked, he said:

"Go back first, put your things away, and eat quickly. I'll go to Zhuzi's house first. Their house has been robbed now. They don't even have a bald head. They can't see people clearly. The house is also a little crumbling. It's very unsafe. I will find a few people, bring him home, and treat him at our house. The pheasant you brought has also been stewed by your second grandma. You two cleaned up the main house. I brought all the sick patients in the village. Let them have a bite of chicken soup at our house to nourish their bodies. By the way, there are still some oil lamps at home, don’t forget to light them. If you want to treat their illnesses, you have to see clearly and carefully.”

Zhou Xian was obviously very thoughtful and the arrangement was very proper.Ayu nodded hurriedly, looking at the situation in the village, he also understood that it is estimated that several families' houses were demolished this time, and those who were injured were probably those whose houses were demolished.Every house in the village is not spacious, and this time is the time of suffering losses, and it is the time of sadness, and I have never thought about it. If something goes wrong in any house tonight, I am afraid that the casualties will be even greater. It's safer to come to your own home.

Besides, in the current situation, the food in each family is probably empty, and if it is gone, only the two pheasants brought by Ayu and the others are good things, and it is time to replenish the wounded.

Zhou Xian's actions were fast, which also alarmed many people. After Ayu and Goudan had finished eating, they had just cleaned up half of the main room, and many people came to the house to watch them two Douding toss Immediately, someone began to help, moving the things out of the main room and bringing in five bamboo beds. The first ones were pillars, and the trouser legs were rolled up high, so that Ayu could clearly see the swollen legs under the oil lamp. As expected, the calf was broken, and he didn't care about other things, so he stepped forward and began to touch the bone.

Perhaps he should be thankful that he had been a dedicated doctor for the beggar gang for more than [-] years, which not only made him proficient in internal medicine, but also mixed up the professional level of trauma and orthopedics. Who made it easier for the disciples of the beggar gang? Injured too!

Seeing Ayu's tense appearance, while Zhuzi grinned in pain, he still did not forget to joke:

"Ayu, can you do it? Your uncle said you are very powerful, you boy, don't treat your Uncle Zhuzi like a kitten or puppy! Ah..."

Before he finished speaking, Ayu had already started to touch the place where the bone was broken. Without hesitation, Ayu immediately came one by one, pulled and sent, and re-aligned the places that had been misplaced, and then turned to look at the bone. Goudan, who was already frightened by Zhuzhu's scream, was shocked suddenly, and subconsciously handed over the two bamboo pieces that had just been tossed out in his hand.

Without saying a word, Ayu immediately clamped the calf of the pillar, and then wrapped it with cloth strips. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. This posture was really intrusive, and it frightened the villagers who came.Waiting for Ayu to put down Zhuzi's legs, to the other side, and look at the second person, the Zhuzi's wife asked tremblingly:

"Ayu, this, this, is this all right?"

Ayu gave the villager who was only traumatized the pulse, put down his hands, turned to look at the villagers, and said to everyone very cautiously:

"I know that everyone is full of doubts in their hearts. If it weren't for the fact that there is no doctor, you would not believe a child like me, but I still want to say, I can treat these things. Uncle Zhuzi is fine. I just put the broken bone away. The place is right, as long as you cultivate for three months, the bones can be connected. Of course, during these three months, you still need to drink the medicine. I will prescribe a good prescription. Don't worry, I will not mess around. Master, my master is a Taoist priest who hangs pots to help the world. My ability to distinguish medicinal materials is also taught by my master. My family used to be neighbors with my master's Taoist temple. When I was young, there was no one in the house, so I was sent to the Taoist temple to follow the master, and my sister followed. Like my second grandma, I grew up like this, so to be honest, I’m afraid I’ve studied medicine longer than I’ve learned hunting, and although I’m still young, I can’t mistake these common illnesses.”

After he explained it like this, everyone immediately felt a little more at ease. It is good to have a teacher. Even if you are just a child, if you have a teacher, you can be regarded as a half-doctor at least.It is indeed better than no doctor.Only Zhou Xian subconsciously compared what Ayu said with what Ayu said to him earlier, and nodded slightly in his heart. Indeed, Ayu once said that he was picked up by his master and grew up in a Taoist temple. Well, if his master is really a Taoist priest like a doctor, then Ayu's medical skills are really guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xian couldn't help but turned to the pillar and asked:

"Pillar, how are you?"

As soon as Zhou Xian asked the question, he immediately turned everyone's attention. After all, Zhu Zi's yell just now was a bit *, but at this time, Zhu Zi had already calmed down, and said with a smile:

"Don't tell me, Ayu really has some skills. I was in pain just now, but after the pain, it's much better. I don't have the feeling of the bones stuck in the meat before, and it's easier to relax."

What he said was reassuring for everyone, and everyone was relieved. Many of them had good brains and started to smile. Ayu knows medical skills, even the worst and the simplest. It is also a great event for this small village. It is a happy event, and their lives are guaranteed an extra layer from now on!How could they be unhappy!

When the smell of the chicken soup stewed by the second grandma came out, one by one looked up into the kitchen, forgetting about the wounded, and some people even joked that this time they were injured, but they really earned it, and they were still alive. There is chicken soup to drink, which can catch up with the treatment of rich and noble families, so that those few people who were a little miserable because of the destruction of the house and wounded on their bodies, all showed smug smiles.It was Zhuzi's daughter-in-law who was clever, and immediately turned around and went to the kitchen, helping the second grandmother to light the fire, and even asked her son to carry firewood at home. They can't take it, who told them they can't pay it back, but there are things they can do, and what they can provide is not!Could it be that even the firewood has to take advantage of it!This can't be done, it's too careless!

Seeing this, the people from the other families also thought about it, and hurried home to get things, and some even called this person to carry food in the cave. Today, almost all the food in every family has been robbed, and there must be some idea. By the way, send some to Zhou Xian's family, I can't let my man recuperate here, and even use other people's food for food!No matter how poor they are, they still want face, but they can't do such a thing.

After such a toss, the villagers immediately became busy, even Zhou Xian wanted to follow the food back, only Goudan stayed quietly in the house with Zhou Zhiruo, either looking at the fragrant cauldron, or Looking at Ayu who has obviously become the center of everyone.

Only Ayu had other calculations in his heart. He saved a full ten or so taels of silver. He originally planned to repair the house, buy stainless steel swords, and even keep some spares. Now it seems that he will spend some money tomorrow. Well, among other things, there is always a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to be bought, and he always has to prescribe a prescription, right?Hey, spending money is easy and earning money is difficult, it has always been like this!
