Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 68
The first year of Jianning, as the first year of the new emperor’s ascension, entered the winter amid high-level turmoil. God still gives face to the little emperor, except for the rainy season in the capital when the crops were grouting, which led to a small reduction in production, the rest of the country can be said to have good weather.
In a normal year, all those who survived the drought and flood in previous years have seen hope of survival. If you are not in debt.
Nu Zhuo had a younger brother in her back basket, holding a dull knife with rust that was too rusty to see the material in her right hand, and bent over to dig wild vegetables beside the road. It was cold, so she dug all morning to find some old vegetable roots that could barely be eaten.
In the middle of the journey, several rogue rangers from Qiao County tried to molest Nv Zhuo. Nuzhuo swung the knife like an angry tigress, leaving a scar on one of the brow bones. They dispersed in a hurry and shouted at her from a distance: “Nv Zhuo, your father can’t pay the debt, so he will mortgage you sooner or later.”
The female man who has been famous for her sturdy since childhood, almost didn’t cry because of this sentence.
The solar eclipse comes at this time.
The shadow of the moon erodes the sun, casting an unusually dark night. Panic screams sounded from within the city walls, like the soundtrack to the end. Nü Zhuo knelt down and kept her body close to the ground like those rangers. “God is angry again,” Nuzhuo thought, “I don’t know if it’s because of some **** villain that everyone cursed.”
In her more than ten years of life, she has experienced more than one solar eclipse. She has learned to reflex, kneeling on the ground and waiting for the end of God’s instructions. It’s no use screaming in fear, and you might injure yourself. Finding a sheltered place to huddle in a ball is the best strategy. In addition to avoiding the locusts and earthquakes that may accompany you, you can also avoid the gangsters and lunatics who use the darkness to rob their homes.
But today is a little different.
Nu Zhuo heard footsteps on the ground. There was the heavy but steady footsteps of the old cow, the hooves of horses, and the creaking of the wheels.
She secretly raised her head, and saw blobs of orange light floating over from a distance. Is it a ghost? She was too frightened to move, she could only lie down with her eyes wide open.
Closer, closer.
The lead is an ox cart. There were fishing rods tied to the horns, and several lights like lamps hung in front of the rods for lighting. As for the knights on horses, they held torches. This is the convoy of Mrs. Cao’s hometown.
But Nü Zhuo, who suffers from night blindness, can’t see it clearly, she can only see the black, ghost team, with weird ghost fires, passing through the road.
“Count the time, it’s almost over.” She heard someone say, the voice sounded like a yellow warbler.
With the help of the moment when the light came, Nuzhuo saw a delicate profile face – jade-like flawless skin, and compassionate condescending eyes.
“I once saw the **** in charge of the solar eclipse pass by the official road in Qiao County.” Nuzhuo later told people, “He drove a car with a strange beast with long horns on its head. , carrying female family members and fairy children, surrounded by guards with glowing heads. They came from the darkness and disappeared from the world after the solar eclipse.”
Afterwards, Nv Zhuo went into exile and became a female doctor in Yanzhou. She is very dedicated and hardworking, but she doesn’t believe in heliocentrism and eclipse theory anyway. The sight of a glimpse is constantly beautified in memory, and finally becomes a belief that supports life. “I have seen the gods who are in charge of solar eclipses. It’s beautiful. It’s so close to me. At that time, I believed that I could survive. Although the world is ugly, the beautiful gods still walk on the earth.”
People who are considered gods are far less calm than they seem.
It was not until the solar eclipse was completely over that Ah Sheng was relieved and asked the servants to extinguish the torches and continue to be on guard. “Natural disasters are often accompanied by villains who take the opportunity to make trouble. Be careful someone robs the road.”
Lu Bu rode on his horse, holding a halberd. “Erlang, don’t worry, come one and I’ll kill one; come two and I’ll kill one pair.”
Hu shi sat on the ox cart and smiled: “Abu is really a warrior! With Abu around, I can rest assured.” That night, more than 20 eunuchs attacked the back house, but Lu Bu repelled them all. . Of course, other family members also contributed, but they were not as brilliant as Lu Bu.
You know, he is only twelve years old, the same age as Cao De and Cao Yu.
A Pei was lying on the cab of the car: “Mother doesn’t want Appei anymore, mother wants Brother Bu to be her son.” The little mouth was flat and flat, acting like a spoiled child with Ah Sheng.
“Impossible. Abu himself has father, mother and ancestors, how can he be a son to his mother? You are naughty again.”
Ape blushed when she was told, and rolled into her mother’s arms, wanting to kiss her.
As the eldest daughter, the little girl is a little squeamish. A Sheng coughed lightly: “You can’t just try to please your mother, you have to apologize to A Bu.”
Ape’s eyes are moist: “Brother Bu, are you angry?”
Lu Xiaobu: “I don’t care about the little girl.”
“Do you despise the little girl? The second brother is also a little girl.”
Lu Bu was taken aback and turned back suddenly: “What?”
Cao Sheng: “…you don’t know?”
Lu Bu: “You didn’t tell me. I thought you were deliberately acting rough because of boys and girls.”
Lv Xiaobu is really blind with 2.0 eyes.
In the tangle of Lu Bu, they arrived at the old house of the Cao family. Cao Kun and Mrs. Meng from the long room greeted him at the door with someone, and they both showed embarrassed expressions when they saw that it was Cao Sheng who was driving the car. Cao Kun seems to be deliberately ignoring this deviant niece, only saying hello to Hu, and teasing A Pei and A Shou.
In less than a day, “Information” Luo Chi found out what Cao Kun said about Ah Sheng in the room: “Since you have learned to disguise, you can hide it. I drive the car with a fake Adam’s apple, and I don’t know what passersby will say about our family.”
“When I dress up as a man and when I dress up as a woman, I can judge for myself.” Ah Sheng suddenly felt bored, even if she could send thousands of stone of food to her home every year, she still Gradually become a marginal figure in this family, an important marginal figure.
Lu Xiaobu gave her an idea: “You might as well run away from home.”
Since the paper mill and mechanical textile also moved to the South Island, the grove courtyard has been silent. Only the ruins that have been destroyed are still talking about the earth-shattering buds hidden in the dark. Ah Sheng sat on the pedestal of the former smelting furnace, watching the stream flow by his feet. Lu Bu curiously stood on a high place and looked at the deserted martial arts field in the courtyard of the small woods.
“Okay. Let’s go.” Ah Sheng said suddenly.
She is going to take advantage of the situation before it becomes more corrupt, and she will go all over her industry, strengthen the centralization, eliminate threats, and make up for the loopholes in the system.
Her first stop was the Women’s Hospital in Qiao County.
Keep your home clean.”
A Sheng surrendered: “Qiao County is the seat of the county government anyway, and even the rangers are no more than idle prodigal sons, who dare not violate the majesty of the great clan. Ding.”
Hu has never shaken her stepdaughter’s mind, so she had to say “come back with me at the end of the year” and let her go.
On a certain freezing rain day at the end of October, Ah Sheng took his team to the Women’s Medical Hall in Dongcheng District. The nearby buildings, although shabby, are above the average of Eastern Han cities in terms of cleanliness. After nearly ten years of operation, this area has formed a small employment economy dependent on women’s medical halls. Sweeping the dust and leaves, collecting human and animal excrement, burning the corpse of the owner… You can get a small bag of rough grain from the Women’s Medical Hall, which can barely make a living. Over time, businesses began to settle near the Women’s Medical Hall. Whether it was a white wall or a large cloth with the character “D” written on it, it gave people a sense of security.
It was cold, and beggars began to appear on the streets.
Beggars and refugees are not covered by their assistance. The hospital can only save the sick, but not the people who died of starvation. Unless you are a craftsman with craftsmanship, you will receive a solicitation from the Women’s Medical Hall before freezing to death: if you accept it, you will live, if you don’t accept it, you will die.
You can say that this is the indifference of the exploiting class, but in fact, the resources of the Cao family really cannot save everyone.
“There are few refugees this year.” Ding Moxibustion came over with the heater, placed it next to Ah Sheng’s several cases, and added hot water to her pottery bowl, “At this time in previous years, I was busy. Woke up.”
What are you doing? Burn the corpse. But there will be countless refugees gathered around the crematorium to keep warm, and they will not be able to drive away.
A Sheng nodded and put the two versions of the “Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic · Lingshu” into the rattan box marked “read”, and there was only one thread on the table. Paper book, the last line of ink has not yet dried. The various versions of existing medical books are complicated, and it is a headache just to sort out and identify fallacies.
A Sheng stood up and stretched. “It’s noon, let’s go out for a walk.” She went to see a doctor in the afternoon. Seeing a doctor with her new knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was a novel experience for Ah Sheng.
Nowadays, Lu Bu has not been so impetuous by everyone’s praise and glory, and even more well-behaved than Ah Sheng thinks. Ah Sheng wrote his homework, and he also wrote his homework; when Ah Sheng was going out, he happily ran to compete with the rangers. In the evening, Lu Bu ran back to the free clinic shop full of sweat and came to find her.
“Today I defeated Hu Fear.” Hu Fear, which means that tigers are afraid, is the nickname of a gangster in Qiao County. This man is two meters tall. He bullies men and women with his bravery, and he does a lot of bad things.
A Sheng had someone hand Lu Bu a piece of beef jerky. “I encountered a dystocia today, and now I have to have an operation.”
