Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

My name is Zhang Cheng and I am 28 years old.

What happened to me, uh... don't know how to put it, probably no one will believe it, but it doesn't matter if anyone believes it or not, because I won't see the people I know again.

Of course, I didn't die.

I crossed.

I remember that I used to play with my friends in the film and television city. We wore ancient clothes, pretended to be knights, and ran around...

Then I stepped on a bunch of dead leaves. At that time, my feet were empty, and I felt bad. I was afraid that there was a dry well underneath.

Unexpectedly, he fell straight down, passed out and then woke up, already in this time and space that he had never heard of before.

When I woke up, I was lying on a simple kang, surrounded by an old lady and two young people.

At first I thought they were group performers, and after a few chats, I realized that this was not my original world, but more like a village in ancient times, but I had never heard of this dynasty.

The old lady's surname is Zhao, and her husband's family name is Liu. Here, the woman takes her husband's surname and is called Liu Zhao. Next to him are his two sons. The eldest son is named Liu Dong, and the youngest son is named Liu Xi. mouth.

Liu Dong and Liu Xi found me on the way out to work, and brought me back. They asked me where I was from. I could only say that I had been wandering all the time, and I didn’t know where my home was. Then they asked me why I had such hair. short……

I know that ancient people put a lot of importance on hair, and my body, hair and skin were influenced by my parents and so on. In their eyes, my short hair was an anomaly.

So I said I was a monk and had just returned from vulgarity.

They actually believed it!

I have no injuries on my body, and my movements are not restricted. Wearing ancient clothes is quite in line with the characteristics of this era. It's just that Mrs. Liu Zhao envied the cotton clothes on me, so I realized that they were all made of coarse cloth. It's very old, it doesn't look like a wealthy family.

Liu Dong and Liu Xi took me out for a walk. From their mouths, I learned that this village is a refugee village. The people are very messy, and most of them are fleeing. The government drew this land and let these people settle here. , to plant land for them, but if the people are gone, the land will be taken back and cannot be passed on to the next generation.

The government of this era will not easily reject refugees, because the population is small at this time, and only people can be productive, so most places are still willing to open up a piece of land to settle these people.

Liu Dong and Liu Xi’s family is not the poorest. There are two males in his family who can work. Besides farming, they can also find some work as a mason in the town. The family’s life is considered good. There are many poorer families in the village. Go, every winter people will freeze to death and starve to death.

The words Liu Dong and Liu Xi told me sounded the alarm for me. I am a newcomer, and I have no land, no income, and no house. If there is no accident, I will be the one who will freeze to death this winter.

So I had to find some work to at least keep myself alive through the winter.

But I don’t know anything. I used to be a small clerk in an ordinary company. I reported reports, made plans, and did odd jobs. I didn’t have a reserve of knowledge in physics and chemistry. what's the function……

I told Liu Dong and Liu Xi what I meant, they were very kind-hearted, and they said that during this period of time, they were laying fire kangs in the town, and asked me to follow, throwing mud, moving bricks and mud, doing a lot of money. More work, less work, less income, at least some income, I agreed without hesitation.

They took me to the village head. The village head was a man in his fifties who looked about 60 years old.

The village chief asked me what I planned to do, and I said I wanted to settle down here first. The village chief said that I was a newcomer with unknown background, so I should not live in the village for the time being. There was a small earthen house at the head of the village, where I could settle down , Wait for a while to make sure I'm not a bad person.

I am not qualified to protest, and I cannot protest. It would be nice to have a place to stay. After the village chief decided on this matter, I followed Liu Dong and Liu Xi to the small broken house. His eyes looked at me, making me very uncomfortable, but I knew that I had to adapt and gain a foothold here as soon as possible, otherwise I, a modern educated college student, would die in a backward ancient times, how unwilling I would be.

The small earthen house is at the head of the village, and it has been abandoned for a long time. Liu Dong and Liu Xi said that the weather has been good for the past two years, there are few refugees, and the house has been unoccupied for a long time.

As soon as the door was opened, the dust was flying. This is a real earthen house. Even the ground was rammed with loess and was worn out to be pitted. After a period of time, it was covered with loose soil, the corners of the walls were covered with cobwebs, and the yard was overgrown with weeds. At most, it is guaranteed that I will not sleep on the street, and it is impossible to have the quality of life I want.

Liu Dong and Liu Xi brought hoes and rags from home, and the three of us weeded out the grass in the yard together, swept away the cobwebs in the house, and replaced the oiled paper on the windows with new ones.

I wiped the inside and outside of the house three times, only to feel that the air was a little better. Liu Dong told me that in the future, I should sprinkle water on the floor before sweeping the floor every day, so that there will not be so much floating soil after a while.

This tidying up took us a lot of time, and it was already evening when everything was cleaned up, and the sunset was about to fall. This was the most homesick time. I looked at everything unfamiliar, and my nose was a little sore.

Mrs. Liu Zhao also came over from home at this time, and brought me two multigrain pancakes, a small bag of multigrain noodles, and an old mat.

Now that the autumn harvest is just over, every household has some food. The old lady said that if I can’t afford it, I will give it back to them after earning money. I agree. This family is good. Think about myself before Nor would it be so helpful to a complete stranger.

Mrs. Liu Zhao ordered a handful of dried wormwood in my earthen house, saying that the house was not occupied for a long time, and the sun was too humid, so smoking moxa could drive away evil spirits and tides.

I am very grateful to this family.

They went back at sunset, and I closed and locked the door, and the whole world fell into deep darkness.

It was a frightening darkness, and the sound of wind and insects outside was especially clear in the lonely night.

After making the first sum of money, I have to buy candles first. This is my first small goal.

The author has something to say:

The earthy diary is here, especially earthy.

It is in the form of a diary, so many descriptions of lyricism will be weaker.

Um. . .It's real soil, look carefully.
