Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 2 An Zhi

Lin Xiaoxiao was originally a low-level civil servant in a small fourth-tier city, and she has no psychological rejection of integrating into the life of the villagers.Through patient conversations with the villagers, she learned some information.

Time: 756 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Location: Wuzhang Village of Hu State under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Hu Guo was a feudal land for the princes, and the current Duke's surname was returned.

Lin Xiaoxiao's history class is average, and she only remembers overlords like Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Mu of Qin in her impression. There is no Hu Guo, let alone Hu Huangong.

After thinking about it for a long time, she was still not sure whether this Great Zhou Dynasty was the "Eastern Zhou" or "Western Zhou" in history.

The big mountain outside Wuzhang Village is called "Little Kunlun Mountain".

It is said that there are gods living on Xiaokunlun Mountain, and once a god came down the mountain and passed by here. The stone tablet at the entrance of the village was left by the gods, so this place is called Wuzhang Village.

Because Lin Xiaoxiao claimed to be from Little Kunlun Mountain, the villagers mistakenly thought she was a Kunlun Mountain girl descending to earth.Lin Xiaoxiao felt that Shannv was probably equivalent to a fairy, but the villagers here were used to calling them that.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that she was not a mountain girl, and after explaining for a long time, the villagers still just smirked at her, so she had no choice but to give up her defense.

Lin Xiaoxiao was at a loss, she couldn't accept the status quo for a while, but she remembered a sentence "If it comes, it will be at ease".

Because she didn't know the specific situation, Lin Xiaoxiao accepted the arrangement of the village head and the elders, and temporarily stayed at the villager Gongshugou's house.

Gongshugou's family has land and carpentry skills. He usually earns more than other villagers, and his family background is the best in the village.

Gongshugou's wife is pregnant, and the due date is next month, so the family has prepared extra food for the winter.

On the way to send Lin Xiaoxiao to the public loser's house, the old village chief almost cried.It's not that he doesn't want Lin Xiaoxiao to live in his house, it's just that the village head doesn't have any food left.

"I feel wronged that Shannv temporarily lives in the loser's home. It's too cold to break ground. When the weather warms up, we'll build a new house for you. There will be a suitable space next to my house."

When it came to the public loser, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help sighing in her heart.

Only by witnessing the appearance of the ancient countryside with your own eyes can you know what real poverty is.

The yard of the public loser is not small.Because it was winter, the yard was empty, except for a lot of firewood piled up in the corner shed.

There are five people in Gongshu's family, Gongshu Gou, his wife and three daughters.

Briefly describe, their house has three bedrooms and one living room.

The house of Gongshugou and his wife is connected with the main room.The other two rooms, one big and one small, were originally used by three girls. The eldest daughter lived in the small room by herself, and the second and youngest daughters lived in the big room.

There are rules in the village here, women cannot live with men during confinement.

So the small house was cleaned up early and prepared to be used as a confinement wife, and the eldest daughter moved to the next room to live with the second and third daughters.

But now, they arranged for Lin Xiaoxiao to live temporarily in this small house.

Looking at the small room full of confinement supplies, Lin Xiaoxiao resisted in her heart.

However, there is really no room for a fourth person next door.

Lin Xiaoxiao accepted this arrangement for the time being in order not to cause any more trouble for the master.

The main room of the public loser is not too small, about ten square meters.

There are low square tables, small stools and several wooden cabinets in the room.Shabby but neat.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Gongshu's family sat around a low square table.

Gongshu's family had already finished their lunch, and all of them stared at Lin Xiaoxiao alone.Their expressions were restrained with excitement.

For these villagers, entertaining Kunlun Mountain girls is something they can boast for a lifetime.

The food is bran rice paste with a vegetable nest.

Gongshu's wife originally wanted to add food to Lin Xiaoxiao, but she refused.Lin Xiaoxiao ate everything when she was living in the wild, and the food now is at least hot.

After walking for a long time before reaching Wuzhang Village, Lin Xiaoxiao was really hungry right now.

Hearing the sound of the little girl swallowing her saliva, Lin Xiaoxiao pretended to be nonchalant and ate it up quickly.She even drank the steaming ginger soup in one go.

After eating and drinking enough, Lin Xiaoxiao felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Xu Shi saw the tired look on her face, and the public loser sent her into the small room.

"The mountain girl rests first, and calls us if there is anything. The two sides are close to each other, and we can hear if we shout in the room."

The small room is really small, only a bed and two stools.There was a large wooden box on the head of the bed, and Mrs. Zhang and Li had put the confinement supplies on the bed into the box just now.

Compared to the simplicity of the whole home, the arrangement on the bed can be called luxurious.

There were two layers of straw mats on the bed, and a layer of leather mattresses on top of the straw mats. Two clean quilts were placed at the foot of the bed.These look like they have just been taken out and haven't been used yet.

Both her body and the blanket were warm, and Lin Xiaoxiao fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.She slept dreamlessly until the sun was about to set before waking up.

The winter sun is already past the horizon.

A house without windows is like a small black house with the door closed.

Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and didn't know what night it was. She took a while to react, and took out the phone under the pillow to check the time.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, which is Shenzheng time.

The mobile phone shows that there is still 70.00% power left.

The network and signal search are turned off, and the power consumption of the mobile phone is slower.But that's it, sooner or later it will be used up, and it will be a waste product when it is used up.

In winter, when the sun goes down, the temperature will drop sharply.

Lin Xiaoxiao got up and put on the jacket, but she still felt cold, and immediately missed the new down jacket she bought at home.

She probably finished digesting what she ate at noon, so she thought it was almost time for dinner, so she got up and went to the main room next door.

In the main room, the five members of the public loser were holding wooden bowls and drinking the leftover ginger soup at noon with relish.

Looking at their expressions, people who didn't know thought they were drinking fine nectar.This is another round of hard work.

After asking, Lin Xiaoxiao found out that people here don't eat dinner.

The villagers don't do farm work in winter, they hardly go out, and they don't do any activities. They only eat one meal a day at noon in order to save food rations.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Gongshu's wife's protruding belly, listened to the little girl's stomach rumbling, and touched her hungry belly, a sense of sadness spread from the bottom of her heart.

Gongshu's wife looked at Lin Xiaoxiao in embarrassment: "Is Shannv hungry? How about I ask the child's father to make some food for Shannv alone, can the steamed bread for lunch be okay?"

"No, no." Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved her hands.

Pregnant women don't enjoy special treatment, how can she be embarrassed.

Lin Xiaoxiao pressed down on Gongshu's wife who was about to get up, and suddenly remembered that there was a pack of leftover compressed biscuits and a few pieces of chocolate in her backpack, and hurriedly went to the next door to get them.

"I have something to eat here, let's share it with everyone."

Lin Xiaoxiao broke the chocolate into pieces and gave each of them a piece, and asked Gong Shugou to cook another pot of hot ginger soup, crushed the compressed biscuits and soaked it in the soup.

Although we can't fill everyone's stomachs, everyone has a smile on their faces.

Especially the youngest daughter of the public loser sitting next to Lin Xiaoxiao, she looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with eyes full of admiration and inexplicable longing.

While drinking the soup, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to hear something, thought it was the little girl beside her talking to herself, so she didn't pay much attention.
