Chapter 2 Finding the Way

Lu Ranran, no, it's Lu Weimang now. It is said that this name was given by a literati who was invited by Mr. Lu's family back then.

Because the second daughter gradually grew up, revealing hereditary natural supernatural power, and the third child was the son he had been looking forward to for a long time, so after getting this good name, he named the second daughter Weimang who had never been named, and the son was named Weimang. Cheng Yang.

The eldest daughter who was taken away seemed to be named Shuangcao, and the child who was not born when Mr. Lu's husband left left the name Changfeng.

It can be seen from the child's name that the father, who only knows his name, seems to have some skills and is not willing to be ordinary, but it is useless, and they are still hungry in the earthen house.

It has been more than ten days since crossing, and Lu Weimang has not dared to move rashly, and only moves around in his own yard, eating gruel and steamed buns from the patriarch's house for "begging".

It was a small portion, but three people had to eat it, and I don't know if it was due to the so-called natural power, Lu Weimang always felt that his stomach was burning and hungry.

Lu Weimang, who lost weight in her previous life, felt that hunger was tolerable, but gluttony was uncomfortable. Now she just wants to eat something casually to relieve this unbearable hunger.

"Sister, we're pretty good. Goudaner and his grandma next door are not as good as us. The village has suffered disasters in the past two years. Although there is no need to pay taxes because of the war, we have to count on food. You can't open it and eat it."

The third younger brother Lu Chengyang saw that Weimang was suffering from hunger, so he couldn't help but talk.

The fourth brother Lu Changfeng didn't move his big eyes, and just stared blankly at the third brother.

A nine-year-old girl, a six-year-old boy and a five-year-old boy, the three guarded the water tank in the yard, and whoever was hungry would drink cold water to satisfy his hunger.

The midsummer sun shone on this simple dirt yard, giving it a sense of lifeless dilapidation.

Lu Weimang felt that he couldn't go on like this anymore, the three of them were getting weaker and weaker, and if they went on like this, they would undoubtedly be waiting to die.

"Changfeng, is there any place in the village where I can catch fish?"

Wei Mang vaguely recalled that the day she woke up, she seemed to have heard Chang Feng say that she wanted to catch fish for her to eat.

"Sister, I'm afraid it won't work. Changfeng and I have been guarding the stream by the village for a long time these days, but we didn't catch any."

"What about hunting in the mountains?"

"In the past two years of drought, the nearby short mountains have been stripped bare by the villagers, and all the edible bark and grass roots have been cooked and eaten, unless they go hunting in the deep mountains like Dad."

When the father left, the third child was just a masculine toddler, and what he said was what his mother and elder sister said, why daddy can hunt wild boars and catch rabbits, and in the few years when daddy just left, accompanied by vague According to the news, everyone in the village is looking forward to his father being able to show his power and rise to the top like he did in the village. Although no one has said these things anymore in the past two years, some people who have been courteous in the past even made sarcastic remarks, "It's not so easy to get ahead. He is a big family. His son, who has studied and practiced martial arts since he was a child, how can it be the turn of the farmer, Mr. Lu."

Lu Weimang has never seen it, and she doesn't express her opinion, but she knows that she can't rely on others.

When Lu Weimang went to get food that day, he left the courtyard with his two younger brothers for the first time, ready to find some life.

What you see is a ruined village, roads full of loess, and low earthen walls. People are leaning weakly against the courtyard wall, just to save some energy and food, like immobile zombies, only the patriarch's house There are three green brick houses in the small courtyard showing some vitality.

"Weimang is here, I want to open it up a bit, let your uncle come to our village next time, let him take you to find your mother. It's not that the patriarch is cruel, in the current situation, you can only survive if you follow."

Lu Weimang knew that what the patriarch said was true.

Looking at this village made her feel cold, and she couldn't see any hope.

"Patriarch, can you borrow some food? My father once said that there is a brother we know well in the county. When we are desperate, we can go to one or two for help."

The patriarch did not refute after hearing this. He knew that Mr. Lu's family was very capable. In the past, when the times were good, he would often go to the county town or even further away to resell goods. It is reasonable to have one or two acquaintances.

So under the wide-eyed gaze of her family, she took a yellowed coarse cloth bag and filled her with a bag of blackened cornbread.

"The family is also tight, these are for you, so you don't have to go back and start fire."

Lu Weimang bowed and bowed with his two younger brothers, thanked the patriarch, and went back to his home.

"Sister, are we really going to the county seat?"

"Ah."

Lu Weimang tightly grasped the small bag holding dry food, and nodded firmly.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up when I go home. Lu Weimang rolled up the clothes and thin bedding mats of the three siblings, and took three broken bowls. home.

Just go.

The patriarch pointed out the direction to enter the city, and the three little ones supported each other and walked towards the county seat.

"Sister, how are we going to live in the city? In the village, there are still people who stutter. Although they don't have enough to eat, they won't die of hunger."

Xiao Changfeng was talking heartlessly, while Cheng Yang was a little older, but also panicked, closed his mouth, and silently supported Sister.

Lu Weimang also felt the fear and helplessness of the two little ones.

I think that when she first traveled from the village to the capital, she was alone, holding her ID card and mobile phone, and followed the flow of people like a headless chicken. Now it is just a change from modern times to more barbaric ancient times. , He gritted his teeth and took this step. The future of staying in the village is bleak. Now he has a stutter, but will the patriarch always support the three of them unconditionally?In case the harvest is still in short supply next year, it will be a thousand times more difficult to find a way out than it is now.

The farmland on both sides of the official road was drooping listlessly under the sun, Lu Weimang tried hard to restrain the feeling of empty stomach, stopped his body, and looked into the distance.

"Sister will never let you go hungry, let's go out and find out the news first."

"Ah."

The two younger brothers answered in unison.

In fact, when the two of them were young and ignorant, they were abandoned by their mother and eldest sister. Of course, they would firmly hold on to the second sister who was willing to take them with them.As long as there is some common sense, after being subtly brainwashed by the ideas passed down from mouth to mouth in the village, it may not be so easy to follow Lu Weimang out.

Farmers follow the land all their lives, and as long as they are alive, they will not leave the land easily.

On the one hand, it is because of the limitations of thinking, and on the other hand, it is because, leaving the homeland, there are too many variables. If you have a stutter in the village and have no relatives outside, you may really starve to death.

They took a breath on the way, ate a few blackened corn buns, scooped up water from the creek along the way with the bowl they brought, and had a makeshift meal before they set off again.

Seeing the outline of the city wall from a distance, Lu Weimang wanted to say a few words to cheer up his two younger brothers. He just ate something and had the strength to stand up straight and speak.

"That, um..., we, um..."

Facing the blinking eyes of his two younger brothers, Lu Weimang's forehead was sweating.

She didn't know anything about this era, and she didn't know what way out for herself, she could support her two little ones and herself, so now she stretched her arms and wanted to lash out at Fang Qiu, but she didn't know what to say.

"Let's advance to the city."

Lu Weimang walked forward disheartened, the two young ones looked at each other, although they didn't know why sister said this suddenly, they followed sister, each of them pulled a sleeve and walked forward.

"Don't pull it too hard, why do I feel that this sleeve will be torn off if I force it hard."

Lu Weimang retracted his arms.

"It's useless, sister, your clothes are still grandmother's clothes, which were made smaller for the elder sister, and elder sister's clothes were made smaller for you. Because it was a good material that my father bought from the big bug that year, neither mother nor elder sister would wear it. I’m willing to wear it, so it looks okay, but it’s actually become brittle, and it’s probably going to break if I put a lot of effort.”

Lu Weimang stopped her stride forward abruptly, she was afraid that her steps would be too long and her clothes would be ruined.

"Then you two also be careful, we don't have much clothes to wear. Before sister earns money, we have to check a little more."

"Understood, sister."

Xiao Changfeng's chattering and optimistic attitude also infected Lu Weimang and Lu Chengyang, and the dark clouds in their hearts dissipated a little. The mountain road is slim, and maybe they can see a way out after walking two more steps.

After more than an hour, he finally reached the foot of the city wall. Looking at the tall and strong city wall in front of him, Lu Weimang felt a little more at ease. No matter what time it is, a big city with strength is better than a small place, right?
"Chengyang, what are they doing?"

Lu Weimang pointed to the table where several people lined up at the gate of the city and asked Cheng Yang, the third brother.

Cheng Yang blinked and told Lu Weimang that he didn't know either.

Lu Weimang sighed.

Is there any hope for these three little kids who know nothing about the world?

Adhering to the principle of asking if you don't understand, Lu Weimang grabbed a younger brother in one hand and approached the queue at the gate of the city.

"I heard that General Huo recruited troops, are you going to try?"

Passerby A discusses.

"My family still has two acres of fertile land, and we can live on."

Passer-by B said, as long as there is still a bite to eat, who will be the leader?No matter which general is invincible in all battles, the bottom soldiers are all cannon fodder.

"But General Huo is different. I heard that he is the adopted son of the current emperor. Although he is young, he has made countless achievements. I heard that the wealthy families or farmers who follow him, as long as they kill enough enemies, they will be promoted and rewarded, and they will not be greedy for meritorious service. , even if you don’t get promoted, you can spend twenty dollars a day and serve as a soldier for a few months, and you can still buy houses and land. If it wasn’t for the suppression of Jingzhou this time, we wouldn’t be recruiting people in our Feng County. This is a great opportunity.”

Passerby A seemed very tempted. Lu Weimang was very tempted even though he didn't know how much it was twenty dollars a day.

Passer-by B sneered, "If you want to go, the world will soon settle down. The government corvee tax has not been paid for these few years, and it is much less than before. Don't you take advantage of this time to buy more land and open up wasteland, and become a leader? Wan Have you handed over your life on the battlefield?"

Although farmers don't understand the general trend of the world, they can know from the movements of the nearest county government that the chaos seems to be over, the world is stable, and good times are coming soon.

Passer-by A smacked it, too, seeing that good times are coming, why take that risk?Although I heard that General Huo has his own real army, and he is recruiting short-term logistics soldiers at the moment, but swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so don't take this risk.

A few people here gathered around to watch the lively discussion, and there were actually people signing up over there.

"Age, place of origin, how many people are in the family? Not an only child."

The chief soldier in charge of recruiting had a loud voice that Lu Weimang could hear far behind the crowd.

"Aged [-], my family is from Feng County, and there is an older brother who takes care of my parents."

"Have you been to Jiujiang and Jiangxia?"

"I've been there a few times. My elder sister married to Wan County in Jiangxia."

"Well, then you go back and tell me, come and gather here at the gate of the city tomorrow."

"What is this for?"

Passer-by B asked Passer-by A who seemed to know more about it. Passer-by A raised his head, "Most of the world has been calmed down, and now some robbers and green forests have emerged to cause disasters. Jingzhou has high mountains, dense forests and miasma, so we need to recruit some native."

"You know this as well?"

Lu Weimang and passer-by B looked sideways.

"It's not a secret. People set up positions at the gates of various county towns to recruit people. It's a public conspiracy. They want to recruit some insiders to provide inside information, and they are not afraid of those green forest robbers knowing the news. Anyway, if there is a war, are you going to help the court or robbery?" Bandits? At the beginning of the new dynasty, those who are interested will come here to contribute to the suppression of bandits, and maybe they will make great contributions, make money with small officials, and be able to honor their ancestors."

"Can those who don't know the inside story be hired?"

Lu Weimang couldn't help asking.

Passerby A and passerby B turned around after hearing the words, and saw a white and clean little girl, although her complexion was a little pale, but her small face was extremely delicate, seeing her expectant eyes, she couldn't help laughing.

"Little girl, if you look like this, don't join in the fun here. When General Huo recruits a personal servant, you can try it. With your appearance, you can definitely be selected."

The movement here quickly attracted the attention of the people nearby, and when they heard passerby A's words, they also laughed in good faith.

"Recruiting soldiers here, little girl, don't join in the fun here, the newly appointed county magistrate in the city is recruiting maidservants, you can try it."

"That's right, based on the appearance of this little girl, she might have great promise in the future!"

"That's right, I heard that the new county magistrate is a son of an aristocratic family. Being a county magistrate is just a transition, and he will be promoted soon!"

...

The topic gradually spread, and Lu Weimang quietly withdrew from the crowd.

After she crossed over, there was no mirror at home, but from the blurred reflection in the water tank and the pale skin on her arms, she could tell that her original body was not only fair but also beautiful.I can't blame the Lu family's master for pampering the original owner when he was at home. Beauty has been a resource since ancient times.

"Sister, are you really going to be a servant in the magistrate's mansion?"

Lu Weimang led his two younger brothers to the county town, and the two younger brothers also listened to what these people said, and subconsciously asked sister.

"What kind of servant girl should a good family be? How can your elder sister serve people?"

Coincidentally, Lu Weimang really doesn't know how to use beauty resources, she always wants to survive by strength.
