Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 3 An Zhi

After eating something, there is food in my stomach, and I feel much warmer on my body.

After a nap in the afternoon, she felt refreshed again. Taking advantage of the last ray of light before dark, Lin Xiaoxiao sat chatting with Gongshu's family members in the main room.

In this era, people's living standards are low, and the cultural level of ordinary people is even more backward.Among the public losers, only Gongshugou knew a few words, and the others were purely illiterate.

Gongshu Gou said that he only knew a few characters, which is true, only a few characters, not more than ten.It is also because he is a carpenter that he knows the words used in those crafts.

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao thought of a certain famous originator Lu Ban.Lu Ban seems to be the Duke of Lu.

I don't know if Gongshugou and Luban are related?
Having said that, the average villager does not have a serious name.Compared with nice names, people's names are mainly for convenience.

For example, Gongshugou’s wife, her natal Mao family, because the Mao family had only one daughter, people called her "Mao Ya" before she got married, and after she married Gongshugou, she was called "Gongshu's wife" or "Gongshu Maoshi".

Gongshu's family was originally from the state of Lu. They fled to the state of Hu because they offended a nobleman and settled in Wuzhang Village.

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help asking: "Uncle Gou, have you ever heard of Gongshuban? He's also from Lu."

After recalling it for a while, Gongshugou replied: "No, my family was just a branch of the clan, and there were no famous class among brothers and uncles."

"Oh." Lin Xiaoxiao was just curious, and was not disappointed after hearing this answer, "Uncle is telling me some rules here."

Gongshugou sighed, it seemed that the past was a bit unbearable for him.

"Speaking of which, when my family was in Lu State, I was a native of the country, but I can only be a savage when I escape here."

In this era, Chinese can live in the city and be protected by the government, but savages cannot.Savages can only live in the outskirts and are not officially protected.

In the world of Great Zhou, the land is vast and the population sparse, and there are more beasts than people.In an age of unrest, bandits are comparable to wild beasts.

Living in the countryside can be said to be constantly threatened by wild animals and bandits.A place like Wuzhang Village can almost be regarded as a paradise.

Gongshu's wife is 30 years old this year, and pregnancy today is considered an advanced maternal age in ancient times.Still, she is not the first child, and the chance of dystocia is relatively low.

The eldest daughter of the public loser is called Gongshu Daya, and she is 13 years old this year.The second daughter is named Gongshu Erya, and she is ten years old this year.The youngest daughter is named Gongshu Sanya, and she is only seven years old.

Sanya is young, the most innocent age, and the only one in the family who is not afraid of Lin Xiaoxiao because of her status as a mountain girl.

Sanya's small head was tilted on Lin Xiaoxiao's lap, and because of her thin and thin face, the facial features were particularly prominent, making her eyes very big, and the shining pupils were very cute.

Sanya stared at Lin Xiaoxiao's face, and asked cautiously, "Sister Shannv, can I touch your face?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and stretched her face over: "Yes."

Gongshu's wife hastily stopped her: "Don't, don't let Shannu touch you, you are skinny and tender, your face will hurt if you touch it with rough hands."

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not that delicate."

Lin Xiaoxiao has traveled here with her whole body, her clothes and appearance are very different from the people in Wuzhang Village, she looks like a different person.

Especially compared to the thin villagers, Lin Xiaoxiao has a fairer figure and fair skin. No wonder the villagers mistake her for a mountain girl.

The villagers in Wuzhang are simple and honest, and there are fairy tales passed down from ancient times. The villagers all think that she is a fairy who came down from the mountain, and they will not think about other places.

Wuzhang Village is too poor, a group of people who don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes to dress up.The villagers put on patches of patches on their padded jackets, and in addition they don't take a bath or wash their hair in winter, it's not an exaggeration to describe it as unkempt.

In Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, these villagers looked even weirder than her, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with her appearance.

But now that I think about it, there are many things that are wrong.

When you go to the country, you have to do as the Romans do.Being too different can sometimes lead to trouble.

Maybe I should get dressed in the clothes here.It's just that there are no conditions right now, and even the public loser doesn't have an extra padded jacket for her.

The matter of changing clothes can only be put aside for now, and then considered when conditions permit.

It was getting dark soon.

Villagers who can't get enough to eat are even more reluctant to light oil lamps at night.

The public loser has lamp oil, but it is for emergency use in case the public loser's wife gives birth at night.Gongshu's wife generously offered to order Lin Xiaoxiao, but of course Lin Xiaoxiao refused.

After dark, everyone went back to their houses.In ancient times, the poor were malnourished and generally suffered from night blindness, and they hardly went out at night.

The house is not as warm at night as it is during the day.

Lin Xiaoxiao only took off the outer layer of the jacket, and felt better wearing warm clothes and covering her body with two quilts.

Stomach growling, eating too little at night.Stomach discomfort, but tolerable.

Lying on the bed and unable to sleep for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and looked at the dark door, when suddenly a sense of grievance surged up, her nose became sore for no reason.

The gap before and after the time travel was too great, Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to cry when she thought that she could only survive in this backward world, but she held back in the end.

Turn on the phone, flip through the photos in the album, and recall the bits and pieces of my previous life.

The album contains photos of her with her parents, as well as selfies of her solo adventures.

Her personality is one of contentment.

Falling from the top of the mountain would have killed her, but she didn't.

Life is the most precious thing, and it is a miracle for her to be alive.Instead of complaining about others, it is better to cherish life and live well.

If coming to the new world is an adventure, Lin Xiaoxiao thinks she has enough courage to face it.

Lin Xiaoxiao finally fixed her eyes on the family portrait with her parents, and silently said to her deceased parents: Dad, Mom, my daughter will live a good life.

Thinking about her future life, thinking about the meals during the day and the situation of the public losers, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she should do something, at least she couldn't just eat and drink for free.

In the next bedroom, the public loser and his wife were whispering.

"Father, do you think Shannu is full tonight?"

"No, I'm not full yet. But Shannv's food is really delicious, with salt in it."

"Shannu has a really good temper, and she even gave us what she ate. No, you get up early tomorrow morning and cook two eggs for Shannu. We can't let Shannu go hungry."

The eggs of the public loser are bought before winter, and they are reserved for the public loser's wife to supplement her body during confinement.

"Hey, I know, but there are only ten eggs in our family, and two eggs a day can only last five days."

"I heard that Zhong's family also bought eggs before winter, you can go to his house and ask, we will buy his eggs."

"okay."

"Oh, the mountain girl is so beautiful, I will definitely ask the mountain girl to give me a name when I give birth to this fetus."

"It would be great if this baby was a girl, and let Siya be a fairy boy in front of Shannv."
