Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

"Come to drink the medicine." Xiao Yu carefully brought a bowl of black medicine to the bed.

Pei Linzhi, who was leaning on the bed, looked at the medicine bowl in front of him, looked at the young man who looked like a crown of jade in front of him with trepidation, and stammered, "This, is this fried by His Highness?"

Xiao Yu smiled shyly: "Yes, I don't know how to decoct medicine for the first time, it's a bit mushy, so don't dislike it, just drink it."

"No, no, no, Your Highness personally decocted medicine for his subordinates, how dare his subordinates dislike him, thank you for your great kindness!" Pei Linzhi was about to stand up and salute to thank him.

Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Don't move around! Be careful to tear the wound, it took a long time to heal."

Pei Linzhi had no choice but to stop, and took the medicine Xiao Yu handed over with trembling hands.How noble his highness is, now he actually decocts medicine for himself, how can he do such a vulgar thing!Pei Linzhi felt so guilty that he wanted to bump his head against the wall to death.

Seeing that his hands were shaking so much that he was about to spill the medicine in the bowl, Xiao Yu couldn't help teasing: "Rinzhi's hand is nothing to worry about sweeping thousands of troops and turning the tide, but now he can't hold a bowl."

Holding the bowl in both hands, Pei Linzhi choked up and said, "It's my subordinate who is incompetent to make His Highness suffer so much, this subordinate deserves death!"

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "What are you talking about? You are the one who is really dragged down by me. I also want to thank you for being willing to accompany me to this remote village to suffer such a serious injury. Don't call me Your Highness in the future. I am now a commoner. , there is no His Highness and subordinates here anymore, only friends. Your task now is to recover from your injuries and get well quickly. There are too many tasks, and I can't do it alone."

"Let your subordinates do anything. Your Highness must not do it again. Your Highness shouldn't be doing those rough jobs." Pei Linzhi was obviously more stubborn than him.

"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own arrangements. I'm going to cook." Of course Xiao Yu ignored it, he is a modern person, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, everyone is equal, there is nothing who should do and who should not do.And just waiting for Pei Linzhi to do it, wouldn't he starve to death?

He has too many things to do now: he needs to be self-sufficient for three meals a day; he also needs to take care of an injured patient; They all need to be dealt with properly; in the longer term, they have to find a job to support themselves; and even consider avoiding hidden arrows hidden somewhere.

There were so many things to worry about, that he didn't even have time to grieve for his sudden change.This is so weird, it’s unbelievable to say it. He was on a business trip to do research, and encountered a car accident on the road. When he opened his eyes, he entered a completely strange world, surrounded by fire, corpses littered the ground, and the sea was stained red with blood. Only Pei Linzhi was still alive, but he was in critical condition. If he hadn't stopped the bleeding in time, he would have died by now.

Yes, Xiao Yu has traveled through time, from a 28-year-old doctor of agriculture to a 16-year-old boy. Although he has the same name and surname, this boy's background is not simple.

He is the former crown prince of Anguo, who was deposed just two months ago because his grandfather Zhou Qi, the great general, intended to join forces with foreigners to force the palace to rebel, and was strangled in the cradle by the emperor.His mother, Empress Zhou, died admonishing her, but she was also a gnat that shook the tree, unable to do anything, and finally touched the pillar and died, and died for her parents.

Xiao Yu escaped death, but the crown prince couldn't do it. He was demoted as a commoner and exiled to Yazhou, which was later Hainan Island.

However, even so, when he arrived in Yazhou after a narrow escape, he was ambushed. Except for Pei Linzhi, none of the entourage survived, and even Xiao Yu changed his soul.

The most ruthless emperor's family.Obviously, even if you are abolished and exiled to the frontier, it may not be possible for you to live in peace.Since ancient times, how many deposed princes can have a good death?

This happened so that a modern person like Xiao Yu caught up, there was nothing he could do except smile wryly.

Xiao Yu felt that it might not be true that the general rebelled, but it was definitely true that the emperor wanted to get rid of the general.After all, no emperor would like to see a foreign relative with a heavy hand in his hand, not to mention that he had long wanted to abolish the elder and establish the younger, and make Xiao Yi, the son of Concubine Zhao, the crown prince.Now the emperor finally got what he wanted, and he can sit back and relax.

As for which dynasty this Anguo belongs to, Xiao Yu could not find the same relative dynasty in history. Judging from the memories he received, it seems to be very similar to the Southern Dynasty during the most chaotic Southern and Northern Dynasties in history. In one corner, surrounded by powerful enemies of different races in the north, Anguo survived the contradictions between the regimes of the ethnic minorities in the north.

These are not what Xiao Yu is concerned about right now, what he cares about is how to survive now, after all, the conditions are too difficult.

The so-called exile is actually sitting in a prison without walls, either in the army or in hard labor.Xiao Yu, as the deposed prince, was treated quite well in exile. The governor of Yazhou didn't ask for hard labor, and even arranged a residence for him.After all, the emperor just demoted him as a commoner, not a real criminal.

It's just that this house is too dilapidated. It is said that it was the residence of the former county magistrate, and it was abandoned after leaving office.There is nothing in the house, the abandoned house, the things inside have been used by people for a long time. Xiao Yu only has four walls and a good thatched roof house, and the other houses may have been blown away by the typhoon. .

The real house is surrounded by walls, and the wind is ventilated in all directions. Fortunately, this is Yazhou, so even in winter, people will not freeze to death.But it must be repaired, otherwise the last room will not be kept when the typhoon comes.

Xiao Yu has never seen such a dilapidated house in two lifetimes!But at least it is a shelter, so we can only take our time.

Compared to the original owner who had little experience in the world, Xiao Yu was quite capable, at least he had the basic ability to survive, but he still felt helpless.

Everything is in the original state, the water has to be dug in a well outside, and the firewood has to be collected by oneself. The most painful thing is to make a fire. There is no lighter, no matches, not even a scythe, and you have to rely on flint to make fire, that is, iron pieces and stones. Knock out sparks, rely on these sparks to light the firewood.

It was Xiao Yu's first time lighting a fire, which almost wore out all his patience. In the end, relying on his spirit of experimentation, he gritted his teeth and finally lit the fire. When he was happy, he almost blew out the flames.

At this moment, he understands why some ethnic minority families have eternal fire ponds that have been passed down for generations. It is purely because it was too difficult for people to start a fire in the early days, and now he tries his best to keep the fire alive.

Eat the mountains by the mountains, eat the sea by the sea, Yazhou Prefecture is right by the sea, and the seafood is so cheap that you don’t need money.But Pei Linzhi was a patient, or a patient who had suffered trauma, and hair such as seafood could not be eaten, so Xiao Yu bought a chicken from the neighbor Meng's house, and asked the Meng family's wife to kill it.

Chicken is many times more expensive than seafood, Xiao Yu is reluctant to eat it, and cooks it specially for Pei Linzhi, and he only eats seafood, but fortunately he also loves seafood.

The chicken was stewed in a clay pot. Xiao Yu put brown rice and water in the pot, and made a simple steaming rack made of bamboo on it, and put the marinated fish on it.Lack of oil, he can only eat steamed and stewed vegetables now, not fried.

The only oils available in the market are lard, fish oil and flax oil.Xiao Yu dared not eat lard, because the pigsty in this era was built under the toilet and grew up eating human excrement; fish oil was the main edible oil for local residents because they depended on the sea to eat the sea, but Xiao Yu tolerated it. I would rather not eat fish oil because of the fishy smell. Flax is sesame, which is fragrant and healthy. The disadvantage is that the output is low and the price is high, which is several times that of lard and fish oil.

When Xiao Yu woke up penniless, he could only pawn the long-lived golden lock around his neck, pay for Pei Linzhi's medical bills, and buy some belongings. There was not much left, so naturally he couldn't afford the sesame oil , he needs to find a substitute for cooking oil as soon as possible.

No, he just fell in love with the fruitful coconuts in the yard. Coconut oil is such a good edible oil, but the coconut trees that are several feet high are beyond his power, so he can only ask someone to help.

Just staring at the fire in the stove, a child's voice came from outside: "It's so fragrant, what are you doing? Is it stewed chicken? My mother said that you bought my hen that laid eggs." The voice fell By that time, people had already reached the door.

Xiao Yu heard that it was Meng Sigui, the son of the neighbor Meng's family, and looked back: "Sigui is back."

Meng Sigui was in his late teens, very smart-looking, tanned by the sun of the island.He is the second generation in exile. After his father Meng Hong was exiled, he married an indigenous woman and took root here.Meng Hong was from Jiangling and could speak Mandarin, while Meng Sigui had learned Mandarin from his father and was able to communicate with Xiao Yu.Xiao Yu, the local aboriginal language, was completely understood as a foreign language.

"Lang Jun asked me to help you find a coconut picker, and I found it for you. His name is Ji Hai, he is best at climbing trees, and he is more flexible than a monkey. Let him pick coconuts for you." Meng Sigui stretched out his hand and pulled Push the young man behind him to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu saw that the boy was only twelve or thirteen years old, tall and thin, his skin was a few degrees darker than Meng Sigui's, his upper body and feet were bare, the only trousers on his body were rotten into strips of cloth, his ribs were clearly visible There is a pair of black eyes shining.

The young man was pushed by Meng Sigui, and quickly hid behind him, as if he felt ashamed when he saw Xiao Yu, who was neatly dressed and handsome.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Are you that good? The trees are too tall. Is there a long pole to knock them down." He didn't want to exploit child labor.

Meng Sigui's eyes widened, and he shook his head violently: "Impossible! I can't find such a long pole, so I can only pick it from a tree. This thing grows too tall and tastes mediocre, and we don't like it. Sir, you want it to be used as a vegetable." very?"

Xiao Yu was surprised, isn't the coconut delicious?What a natural drink coconut water is.Is it the variety of coconut, or the locals don't like the taste? "I have a purpose and need a lot of coconuts. It would be best if I could pick them all off here. But Ji Hai is too small and it's not safe to go up the tree. Can you find an adult for me?"

When Ji Hai heard this, he ran to the nearest coconut tree, hugged the bare trunk with both hands, clamped the trunk with his feet, and rushed up a long distance like a monkey, Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.

In the middle of the Jihai sea, he hugged the tree trunk and looked back. Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, with a little complacency on his face, he climbed up vigorously.Xiao Yu finally came to his senses and shouted from below: "Come down quickly, it's not safe."

Ji Hai ignored it and continued to climb to the top, wrapped his legs around the tree trunk, and twisted a coconut with one hand.The stalk of the coconut was too strong to be unscrewed, so he let go of both hands to twist it, finally twisted the coconut off and threw it on the ground.

During the whole process, Xiao Yu was terrified. It was too powerful and too dangerous. He waved to the tree: "Get down, come down quickly! Take a knife to chop it up, it's too dangerous to pick it with your hands!"

Meng Sigui also persuaded him to come down, Ji Hai had proved his ability, so he stopped trying to be brave and quickly slipped down the tree.

Xiao Yu gave Ji Hai a thumbs up: "It's amazing, just wait a moment, I'll find something for you before you go up."

Ji Hai scratched his head in embarrassment after being praised, and smiled very shyly. From the beginning to the end, he didn't speak a word.

Xiao Yu thought of the stewed chicken in the house. When he went in, he found that the firewood was almost out. When he opened it, the aroma was overflowing. It was almost ready, so he added some sea salt, covered it and continued to simmer.

"Your Highness, who is here?"

Xiao Yu turned his head and found that Pei Linzhi was leaning against the door, with one hand on his abdomen, sweat was still lying on his pale face, obviously in great pain.

Xiao Yu quickly ran to help him: "Why are you up? Go back and lie down quickly, don't tear the wound. The kid next door helped me find someone to pick coconuts."

"What choke?" Pei Lin was at a loss.

Xiao Yu helped him back to bed and lay down: "It's the fruit from the tree at the door, it's edible. The meal is ready, you just took the medicine, eat it later, I'll do something else first."

Hearing this, Pei Linzhi felt like a thorn in his heart: "Forgive me for being incompetent and unable to share His Highness's worries. Before I recover from my injury, I'd better find a servant to take care of Your Highness."

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "No, you always took care of me in the past, and now I should learn to take care of myself. If you are not by my side, I won't starve to death." Just kidding, with the current economic conditions, what can I look for? servant.

When Pei Linzhi heard this, he couldn't speak anymore.In the past, he would definitely have taken this as a joke, but today, he also understands that nothing is impossible.

Xiao Yu is not sad, he is not a pessimist, he does not want to feel sorry for what has happened, if he encounters any problems and difficulties at the moment, just do it.He picked up the dagger beside the bed and said to Pei Linzhi, "I'll borrow your knife."

Pei Linzhi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, just take it." Xiao Yu would kill him, not to mention that the knife was given to him by Xiao Yu when he was a child.

Xiao Yu went out with the dagger, and said to Meng Sigui and Ji Hai, "Wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go."

He walked around the yard full of weeds and weeds, found a vine on the fence, tried his tenacity, cut a few thin vines, twisted them into ropes, and beckoned to Ji Hai: "Come here. "

Ji Hai approached in confusion, Xiao Yu tied the rattan rope around Ji Hai's waist.During the whole process, Ji Hai blushed and allowed Xiao Yu to make gestures on him without saying a word.Xiao Yu tied up the rope, then led him to the tree, and loosely tied the rope around the trunk of the coconut tree: "You climb the tree with the rope on, and if your hands and feet slip, you just hold on to the rope, and it will give you A little protection."

Both Ji Hai and Meng Sigui stared wide-eyed. They could still climb trees like this. Meng Sigui urged Ji Hai: "Climb quickly and try."

Ji Hai hugged the tree trunk and climbed up, and found that the rope was a drag, very slow, he muttered a local dialect, and Meng Sigui said: "Mr. Lang, he said that this is too slow and inconvenient."

Xiao Yu said: "It's a bit slow, but it's safe, so be it. Take this dagger up, and then cut off the coconut." Then he hung Pei Linzhi's dagger on his waist.

It was the first time Ji Hai saw such a beautiful knife, his eyes lit up, and even Meng Sigui wanted to touch it.Boys really like knives, and Xiao Yu himself likes this dagger very much.

With the safety rope, Xiao Yu finally felt relieved to let Ji Haishu pick coconuts.Ji Hai was very motivated and cut off every ripe coconut with the sharp dagger.

Xiao Yu got a field of round coconuts.As for how to open it is also a problem, he must not be able to handle it alone, and he has to ask these two children to help.
