The following days can be said to be uneventful. Ayu still took the dog eggs to the mountains to seek a living, and the people in the village continued their great business of collecting medicine. As for those houses, naturally Ayu didn’t need to worry about them. ,Although Ayu didn't understand at first, why the villagers repaired the house is still sloppy, just patched the roof, and the mud walls are still mottled, but later he also understood, this is also a way for them to protect themselves, According to what Zhou Xian said, if the house is more run-down, it will not attract the attention of those Yuan soldiers, and save a lot of trouble. Look at how many big families in the town, each of them let Yuan Many people blackmail until the exploitation is gone.

The village where Ayu and the others live is actually pretty good in this area, because although they belong to Xianrendu Town, they are the southernmost village in the town, and there is a lot of distance from the Zhengjin Ferry, which is the hub of the east-west business road. Obviously, the place where the ferry usually takes place is also a little further downstream from that waterway, and the other side is surrounded by continuous mountains and forests. There are only a few small mountain towns where people come and go, and even Gu County, which is known as the county seat, really has It's only one or two more streets than Xianrendu Town, not much. Under such circumstances, although Zhou Xian's business is a little lighter, there is no competition, and there is less exploitation, so it can be regarded as relaxed.

In fact, to be honest, Zhou Xian can visit two or three times a day, save four or five people each time, and the capital of a trip is always two or three Wen, and he can earn thirty or forty Wen a day. It’s sad, at least it’s okay to have enough food, but things can’t be counted like this, because Zhou Xian has to pay taxes on the ferry, and from time to time there will be Yuan soldiers coming forward to collect taxes, there is no fixed number, and there is no reason to say, In this way, even if one or two taels of silver can be obtained in a month, more than half of it will go into other people's pockets. In addition, the ferry is difficult during wind and rain, and it is difficult to have guests. Well, when Zhou Zhiruo's biological mother passed away, she still owed her expenses. After such a calculation, she was barely able to eat.

It has been two or three months since Ayu came here, and he finally made everything clear and transparent. Now he doesn't think too much about the family business, building a house, etc. On the contrary, he starts to save money and think about After meeting Zhang Sanfeng, he found a way to move to Wudang Mountain, get some fields and so on, so that he could arrange it properly for Zhou Xian, which can be regarded as full of friendship.

Ayu now has more than ten taels of silver, even if he is a dog egg, he has accumulated enough silver. He bought a new bow and arrow, a dagger, and the same configuration as Ayu, and began to practice martial arts and accuracy, but they were too young after all. Not daring to take him to the depths of the mountain forest, thinking about his own plan to save money, Ayu had to think of other ways. On this day, he accidentally saw a person crossing the river accidentally drop a thimble in his hand while crossing the river. All of a sudden, he realized that he was such an idiot. There was a great treasure in this world waiting for him to pick it up, but he hadn't noticed it all the time.

What do you mean?It's not the bottom of the river!This Han River connects the north and the south, and there are always ships passing by. I don’t know how many sunken ships and lost things have been lost for thousands of years. There are river mussels, and when no one salvages them, I don’t know how many old river mussels have given birth to pearls, which one is not a valuable thing.

Thinking of this, Ayu's heart is burning hot, she just feels that she has found a way to make a fortune, and that she is indeed a master of making a fortune, no matter when and where she can be extremely prosperous.

Although Ayu doesn't practice martial arts very often, his aptitude in this life is really good, and his skills are already quite impressive. The most important thing is that when he was in Wei Xiaobao's plane, his water skills were already very good. Whoever's door is the big river. The water quality will be good, the instinct caused by the environment.Even if the river here is more urgent than the Nasha River, he is not incapable of dealing with it. The most important thing is their location. The river at the Xianren Ferry is just a place where the middle of a Y shape meets, and they meet. Somewhere downstream, with the previous buffer, the water here is more stable than the river. As long as there is no flood or something, there is no need to worry about the existence of the undercurrent vortex. Ayu is good at holding her breath, and I think I can gain something.

With this idea in mind, Ayu hunted during the day and went to bed early at night. After midnight, he went out to explore the Han River. At first, he might not be used to it. After all, the bottom of the river is really dark at night. He couldn't see clearly, but he slowly figured out some methods. For example, in the early morning, when the light suddenly appeared, the bottom of the river suddenly lit up, which allowed him to see a lot of things, so later, he simply opened it at dawn. He just went out a few days ago and waited for this period of time to find things. Even if someone saw him, he would say that he contacted him for holding his breath and contacting Kung Fu, but he could say it.

The bottom of the river is indeed a treasure land. After getting familiar with it, Ayu can always find some good things from time to time. Sometimes it is a gold hairpin, sometimes it is some silver, and even jade pendants, rings and other things. He bought a bag, gathered the things he found together, and put them under the water near the place where he entered the water, so that he could take them later. As for the mussels, he also found a lot. He always opened the shells and took out the mussel meat after landing. If there are pearls, take the pearls and hide them. If there are no pearls, don’t care. Grab a few slices of old ginger and stew tofu with mussel meat at home. It is absolutely delicious.

Waiting for him to collect almost everything in the vicinity and fill a whole bag, Ayu brought home the mussels that had not been opened one day, and took out a clam from it in front of Zhou Xian. Pearl, stunned Zhou Xian. Obviously, he never thought that there is such a beautiful thing, and it is the first time that he knows that pearls can be taken out from this river clam.

Instigated by Ayu, Zhou Xian also started to go into the water to touch the mussels from time to time. Although winter is approaching, most people who rely on water for food can survive the cold. Besides, with such benefits in front of them, no matter how cold it is, they can bear it , although he knew that the money was not revealed and did not dare to say it, but Zhou Xianming suddenly had a certain degree of confidence in his family's financial situation.

It's not Holy Father Ayu, and it's not that money is too insignificant. As long as he starts to collect money as soon as he arrives in a place, he can't see wealth as floating clouds at any time, but has other plans. Zhou Xian's family moved out of this village to live in Wudang Mountains, so Zhou Xian must agree to it. The minimum condition for moving is that the family has the financial resources to move and can ensure that they can settle down quickly in the new place. Otherwise, it is estimated that no one is willing to give up their homeland.

It's just that he expected everything, but he didn't expect Zhou Xian's temperament, that is, he is an honest person, a kind person, and a warm-hearted person. After getting about a dozen pearls in a row, Zhou Xian secretly took the river Zhuzi was told about the oyster's ability to produce pearls, and Zhuzi secretly told others. In this way, it took only a few months for the whole village to know about it.Of course, they didn't know that it was Ayu's tossing, they only thought that Zhou Xian was lucky, and that time they touched the old river clam to get such a shipment. Everyone was very grateful to him for willing to share this wealth with everyone, and also I understand why Zhou Xian didn't dare to reveal it, they all know that Yuan soldiers are greedy, if they let Yuan soldiers know, not to mention whether their income can be kept, I'm afraid they will become Yuan soldiers' pearl hunters from now on People, there is no way to survive, everyone knows that they keep their mouths tightly shut, and dare not say a word.He didn't even dare to mention selling pearls, but secretly hid them at home, thinking that he would wait until the day was too bad to talk about it.

What's more, a few people who went to touch the mussels in the river accidentally found a piece of broken silver from the bottom of the river. From then on, the idea of ​​wealth at the bottom of the river was completely exposed.Pearls cannot be taken out and used, and the silver is smashed and spent as scattered silver, but it is not a problem. This is the greatest benefit of improving today's life.The boys in the village immediately started to become Langli Baitiao one by one, tossing in the river all day long, but fortunately, the whole village is united, and they don't want others to share this fortune, let alone cause trouble. Some people passed by and asked about it, and they all said the same thing, saying that there was not enough food at home, let the children go into the water, touch some river mussels, catch some mixed shrimp and crabs to eat, but it was not noticeable. Thinking about this day, it is winter If it is not difficult to survive, no one would be willing to suffer this crime, right?

Of course, Ayu can't be too divorced from the crowd. After everyone started to go into the water, he also went into the water with his dog eggs every morning. Of course, he had already quietly hidden his own bag of good things, right on the mountain where they were hunting. , I found an old tree, dug a hole under the tree and buried it.

Ayu in Heli had already checked back and forth many times. The big ones and the expensive ones were basically sold out by Solo, and the rest were inconspicuous. For this reason, I got benefits, not some broken silver, just a small piece of gold or something, occasionally some beads, rings and other things that Ayu didn't usually look at carefully, even Goudan got a good thing, a delicate silver coin The copper pot, after being polished carefully, was exchanged for more than two taels of silver at the pawn shop.This is because Goudan doesn't know much about goods, and because of the low price of the pawn shop, if you want Ayu to talk about this thing, with this craftsmanship, it can cost a dozen or so taels of silver.

After all, the things at the bottom of the river are limited. After the men of all sizes in the village passed through the sieve several times, for several days, there was no harvest, even the mussels, only some small ones remained, and there were no ones that could produce pearls. I am an old clam, and the treasure hunting turmoil is over now. Although I am eager to try it downstream, but thinking about the severe winter, and the distance is far away, safety cannot be guaranteed. They all let go of their minds and began to live their peaceful little days again.

Goudan is a heartless kid, and he has no intention of hiding anything from Ayu. After the treasure hunt is over, and after returning to the mountains and forests with Ayu to hunt every day, he even tells Ayu what he has gained from the treasure hunt for a while. There were five or six pearls in the clam, and Second Grandma said that she would keep them and marry him a wife in the future, which made Ayu laugh for a while.

Regardless of what the other families in the village have gained, this Ayu will not inquire about it, but these days, each family has eaten a lot of stewed tofu with clam meat, and even in order to save more money for tofu, several families I moved out the stone mill at home, and ground tofu myself, stewed clam meat with tofu for cooking, steamed bean dregs to make dry food, and made everyone feel full for a long time.All of them looked better.

It is no longer possible to collect herbs in winter, and there is not much green in the plains. At this time, Ayu’s income from hunting has once again entered the eyes of various families. , one by one is more greedy now, looking at the prey that Ayu and the others brought back, although they will not be jealous or greedy, but drooling is always inevitable, and Ayu is not a stingy person. After some discussion, they brought two more people, one was Tie Dan, a boy from Uncle Zhu's family, a ten-year-old doll with a big skeleton and some strength, and the other was a relative of Goudan, and the other was Qiang. My son's child is only about nine years old.

At the beginning, I didn’t teach anything else, it was just some instructions for entering the forest. It was the same as I taught Goudan at the beginning. One day, it was winter and it happened to be a rabbit, and Ayu and Goudan were a little busy, so I simply found them. help.

Four children seem to be a little small for a village of more than 20 households, but you must know that villages at this time usually live with one or two surnames. When you count them, everyone is relatives. , can almost take care of all the relationships in the village. Whether they take home the prey, whether they eat it for themselves or distribute some to relatives and friends, that is their business.

Since the place they went to was not an inaccessible place after all, it was just the outermost part of the mountain range, where they used to go hunting. There were actually not many rabbits, but even so, they had income almost every day, sometimes one or two, Sometimes there are as many as four or five, because it is not for archery, hunting, or gathering, but to cooperate with the setter and find footprints. In this way, the harvest is divided equally among the four, and Ayu and Goudan's family naturally have no shortage of meat. , The other two children took it home, even if they divided some, they could still eat meat, so as to ensure that the two children who were learning to hunt would be full and gain some strength.No matter how bad it is, if you sell the skins or all the prey directly, and replace some bones, you can share some with each family. Of course, everyone can't tear their face off and eat free food all day long. After all, the income of each family this year It’s still possible. Some people go to buy bone stew by themselves, and some get some benefits, so they send some rice grains, or get some needles and threads, and help each other. This winter, the whole village rarely lives a good life. Although the houses It is still very dilapidated, but the inside has changed a lot.The most difficult family can also have a meal of dry rice and a sip of bone soup in a day.

In winter, there is no need to farm, you can’t go into the water, and there are no wild vegetables to pick. Except for occasional fishing by the river to get some fish and shrimp, most people in the village are free. When people are free, they will inevitably like to chatter , the east and the west are short, talking and talking, naturally it is a good day this year, and everyone realized that since Zhou Xian's nephew, Ayu, came to the village, his village has more and more hope for this day, which is a way of making money There are also more people. At this time, people are superstitious, not to mention that in the Yuan Dynasty, when the survival crisis was more intense, people always wanted to find more sustenance, and they believed more and more in the things that were talked about by gods and gods. After a while, some people said that Ayu was a person of great fortune. If such a person settled down in his own village, naturally the people in the village would follow suit.As for why Ayu was so unlucky before, his parents and teachers died, and he was left alone. I could bear it, so I turned it off instead. Some people even said that it was probably because the feng shui in Ayu’s hometown was not good.

They didn't have any malice in saying this, and they didn't even give Ayu any bad names in what they said. They didn't mention anything like restraining father and mother. Ayu can read and write. In their eyes, someone who can read and write at such a young age can treat Zhuzi and the others must be Xingjun who descended to earth. How could such a person restrain anyone?It can only be for other reasons.

Waiting for Ayu to know these rumors, he really couldn't laugh or cry, he never knew that he could still have such an identity, a lucky person, if he is really lucky, he wouldn't have to work hard all day It's too late to time travel, to be a rich second generation, second generation official, that's a good time to live.But he is also sympathetic to everyone.To be honest, although he is not a particularly kind person, he doesn't care what he pays if he can help others live a better life while ensuring his own interests.

There is nothing lively for the poor to speak of during the Chinese New Year. At most, they just eat a good meal. As for new clothes, even if they have the ability to buy them, they will not buy them. It's too eye-catching, and it's a great joy for them to wear clothes bought from second-hand clothes shops with a few less patches.These days, it is the adults who cherish the dolls, and want to get some silver collars for the children, longevity locks, and lock the soul of life for the children. They dare not lock the soul of life for the children.

Ayu's first year in this world has passed, and he finally reached the age of eight. When the spring began, Ayu took Goudan and the others to dig wild vegetables for several days. Goudan and the others were very surprised. Why did Ayu these days Stop hunting, and Ayu told them that spring is the season for wild beasts to multiply. The wild beasts in this season are most likely to be irritated, and they are also particularly fierce. If one is not good, it is easy to be injured. If the prey survives, if you don’t even give the wild animals time to recuperate, then there will be fewer and fewer prey in the future, and maybe you will never be able to catch prey again that day. Therefore, hunting is rare in spring, even fishing. The right amount of reduction is the long-term solution.

Ayu is not only teaching them to hunt, but also teaching them the law of the cycle of heaven. He listened to these things from modern teachers. If it weren't for the random hunting and killing for profit, there wouldn't be so many animals. Facing extinction, the biological chain is chaotic. Only those real old hunters, those who rely on the mountains and forests for generations, can understand these simple and practical principles. People who watch hunting and eating will also explain these things one by one, hoping that such unspoken rules can be passed down from generation to generation, and give some vitality to this mountain and these animals that have given everything for human survival.

No matter how young the children are, they will naturally understand what Ayu said so clearly. With this explanation, they will no longer be confused, and follow Ayu obediently, either collecting herbs or wild vegetables, and even after returning home, I told my family what Ayu said, and let the grown-ups also sigh with emotion. After all, it was from Orion's family. These people know a lot, and they can see farther than them.Ayu did not expect that the principles he instilled inadvertently strengthened his identity as an Orion family.

Of course, the spring is not good, he is not a vegetarian, and he will not wrong himself for the source of animals. If he does not hunt, he also has other meat to toss about. No, he took the dog eggs and they went to the mountain. He was optimistic about one last year. At the edge of a small river, I started to catch eels.

At the beginning, the others thought he was going to eat snakes, and they were all surprised, until Ayu showed them the eel by holding it, and put his hand on the eel's head, showing them how harmless the eel was. That's how they convinced them, knowing that this stuff is a rare good thing after taking a lot of supplements, and Ayu deliberately reserved it until this time from last year before starting to grab it, specifically to fill up the meaty smell of this period of time, one after another. They became happy, but they had never eaten it, let alone caught it, they just watched Ayu how to do it, and then they followed behind to learn.

Swamp eel, speaking of it, actually some places have already started to eat it, and even those who sell medicine in the rivers and lakes make it into the main medicine and configure it with powerful pills, but these don’t go to the mountains, don’t hunt, and lack communication with the outside world, all day long People who plan food in the field don't know, but with Ayu's own demonstration, after returning home, and Ayu's talk about it, eating loach is the same way and the same truth, these people still don't understand.The happy family grabbed a few and started to try new ones.

Zhou Zhiruo is already three years old, and her speech has started to become sharper. With Ayu and last year's income, the family conditions are much better. Every day is either custard or broth. The villain has grown a lot of meat, and his hair is no longer Withered and yellow, she has a luster. The most important thing for her every day is to wait for her brother to come back. In her little heart, as long as her brother comes back, there will be good things. Poor Ayu, in Zhou Zhiruo's heart, has already It is equated with food.

Of course, for Zhou Zhiruo, it’s not enough for Ah Yu to just feed her well. He already has a new plan. He is going to teach her how to read when Zhou Zhiruo is four years old, and when she is five or six years old, he will start teaching her To practice kung fu, one has to lay a good foundation for her. He doesn't want Zhou Zhiruo to enter Emei again, but can Wudang accept a female disciple?How can Zhang Sanfeng like it?These are all problems!

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Zhiruo was already six years old, and his real age was seven years old. According to Ayu's speculation, this year should be the year of Zhang Sanfeng's [-]th birthday banquet, that is, the year when Zhang Cuishan and his wife returned to the Central Plains with Zhang Wuji, or in other words, it was the year of the martial arts storm. A new year.

This year, Ayu was 11 years old, or 12 years old. In this era, there are still many people who pay attention to age. Anyway, Ayu has finally become a small man. He stands on the top of the mountain and quietly looks at the busy distance. I couldn't help but think in my heart, Zhang Cuishan and his wife came back from overseas and wanted to return to Wudang, would they pass by here?You must know that it is not far from Xianrendu to Wudang Mountain, as long as you cross the river and go straight to the west, it takes only ten days to walk, and four to five days by fast horse, he is really looking forward to it!

Of course, meeting the elders of Xuanming and Xuanming is not among them. Even if Ah Yu claims to be good at martial arts, his swordsmanship has improved a lot, and his lightness kung fu is rare and exquisite, not to mention that the throwing knives are all ready and have the power of the past, but he understands better. , There is still a big distance between him and them today.

But it is rare for Ayu to have the confidence to venture into the Jianghu, and he does already have a lot of passion in the Jianghu.After tossing around several planes and going through decades together, he finally has a complete set of martial arts. How could he not be in the mood to give it a try?Looking at the sky, it was getting late, Ayu sighed, turned around and walked to an open space, he still had Zhou Xian and Zhou Zhiruo, he didn't dare to take risks.So the hot blood can only be kept in the bottom of my heart.

"Goudan, let's go, it's time to go down the mountain, the sky is about to change."

Turning her head and shouting at the figures walking in the woods on the mountain, Ayu put her back on her back and carried her share of prey, two pheasants and a hare. It seemed that she could get a lot of money today, and she would also be there tonight. I can drink chicken soup.Ayu nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, Qiangzi, Tie Dan, have you cleaned up? Ah Cheng, how are you? Have you checked all the traps? It's time to clean up. We should go to the county seat today, but it will take a lot of time. Hold on tight."

Goudan is now the captain of their eight-person Orion team. His martial arts skills are not to say how good they are, but they are among the best among ordinary people. His archery is even better, not much worse than Ayu. Who told him to accumulate it early? I bought bows and arrows with money. Among the others, Qiangzi and Tie Dan have already been equipped with bows and arrows. Although their accuracy is still limited, they are considered qualified hunters. Just joined, and now can only do some auxiliary work, a novice who uses traps and slingshots as weapons.

Such a small team brought endless hope to the whole village. From the growth of these people, they saw the future of the children in their own village, and saw the life that became more interesting every day. , even if the yuan soldiers continue to wreak havoc, they can't obliterate their hope of life.
