My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 3 3. It’s hard to stand up after being fed by hundreds of families

The sun was shining brightly and the countryside was sweltering.

Zhaojiacun is a remote village, located in a mountainous area, more than ten miles away from the nearest town. It is an out-and-out backwater.

The same is true for several surrounding villages. The villagers have been farming and working hard for generations. They don't know a word of Chinese characters. They face the loess and their backs to the sky. They live a life of poverty and can hardly even eat enough.

On the ridge of the field, an ordinary-looking young man was sitting. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His clothes were in tatters and he had a dazed look on his face.

"The mystery of the womb has finally been solved..."

It has been fifteen or sixteen years since he traveled to this world. He is an orphan with no father or mother. He has been living in Zhaojia Village, a remote and remote village. He was lonely since he was a child and grew up eating the food of Zhaojia Village.

When it was time to eat, I relied on some simple food donated by the villagers to barely survive, so I didn't starve to death.

Thanks to these villagers, otherwise, as an orphan, he might not be able to grow up in this cruel ancient world.

Just today, he climbed up a tree to dig out a bird's nest, hoping to use the eggs to improve his food. As a result, he accidentally fell from the tree and finally solved the mystery of the womb and recovered all his memories.

"Without a father or a mother, I grew up living on a family's dime and could only live in a temple. This is really the beginning of hell."

Zhao Xuanqi's face was dull, and he was frantically searching for the memories of this world in his mind.

The country he is currently in is the Northern Wei Kingdom, which has been established for 200 years. Although it is still in a peaceful period, various problems have arisen. Excessive taxes and heavy taxes have put great pressure on the people.

Zhaojia Village is located in the corner of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is very poor. The villagers have trouble even eating enough. There is no extra food to give to themselves. The food given out every time is very small, which makes his body very thin.

Now his body is 15 years old, and he always goes to help the villagers do some work in the fields or do some chores so that they can have food.

Usually you can only sleep in the village ancestral hall and temple as a shelter, keeping company with the dilapidated idols. If you want to farm, there is no land for you to plant, and you don’t have any money. You wear rags, and you can only work hard. I exchanged some food with the villagers and barely survived starvation.

The beginning of hell is an understatement. This is simply a heaven-shattering beginning. If Zhao Xuanqi had not traveled through time, his original life would have ended at a glance. He could only be a beggar begging for food, or sell himself as a slave and plow the fields for other people who have land.

Zhao Xuanqi sighed:

"First get used to life, see if there is a way to break the situation, and then work hard to become a master. Only the higher my status is and the greater the impact I have, can I get enough points!"

He has not forgotten the purpose of coming to this world.

In the next few days, he transformed into "Zhao Yecao" and completely integrated into the life of this body.

When it gets dark, they hide in ancestral temples and sleep to get a shelter from the wind and rain. When dawn comes, they go to work for the villagers in exchange for a bite of food.

In this world, he has no specific name. "Weedao" is the name of his body, just like the nicknames "Goudan", "Tiedan", "Ergou" and "Erya".

The humbler the name, the better the livelihood. The nickname "Weed" means that the villagers hope that he will be in good health, like a weed, with strong vitality and not die from accidents.

Facts have proved that his vitality is indeed strong. He grew up eating hundreds of meals and was able to withstand hunger and illness. This was already a great thing in the ancient world.

After experiencing it for a month, Zhao Xuanqi's first feeling was that he was tired.

too tired.Life is tiring.

There is no time to think about how to get ahead.

I was woken up by the villagers every day and then went to work in various households. I did farm work and chores, which was very energy-consuming. I could only go back to rest in the evening.

Because I was so tired, I would fall asleep as soon as I got back, and when I woke up, it would be the next day, and I would continue to work again and again...

For a month, it was difficult for him to stay alive, and he didn't have much opportunity to think about ways to get ahead. He was busy every day, with very few things to interact with, and there was no way for him to get ahead.

The villagers cannot be blamed.

Because the sons and daughters of the villagers basically work every day and do their best to reduce the burden on their families. Children have to work in the fields when they are ten years old. If they don't work, they will starve to death.

When there is no work to do, the people will still sigh and pray for work to make money and a meal.

Even with such hard work, many villagers still don't have enough to eat, which shows the suffering of farmers and common people.

In this ancient world, classes were severely entrenched, and hard work could not make you rich. If hard work could make you rich, then the donkey pulling the mill would be the richest creature in the world.

In this context, Zhao Xuanqi is able to work and help the villagers in exchange for some food. This is all thanks to these villagers. No matter how hard and tired he is, he can still make a living, right?
The villagers in Zhaojia Village gave him a hundred meals to grow up. This was a kind of kindness. It was also a kind of kindness to let him work hard and have food to eat. Otherwise, he would have nothing in this body and would have to sell himself as a slave and ask for help. The master had to work to have food, but he was beaten and scolded at every turn, and no one cared about him even if he was beaten to death!

"The most important thing is that there are no leads or any resources. I have memories from my previous life. Making soap, purifying salt, making glass... can't be used. Otherwise, with my background, there will only be a dead end." Zhao Xuanqi had a lot of ideas, and finally It just turned into a sigh.

Occasionally when there is no work to do, the villagers cannot leave the village and wander around at will. This is an ancient society. It is one thing that it is not safe outside, and another thing is that you need a road guide. You can only go somewhere if you have a road guide, otherwise you will be killed. Restricted to the vicinity of birthplace.

Without a road guide, once you leave your birth range, you will be defined as a refugee and will be caught as a slave, or treated as an escaped slave prisoner, etc., and be punished.

Only businessmen with a background or people with great fame can have a guide. It is difficult for ordinary people to obtain this thing.

Making glass, purifying salt, etc. are very profitable. As an ordinary citizen, he is like a child holding gold to get through the bustling city. As long as he dares to try it, he will die!

In the ancestral hall, Zhao Xuanqi was pillowing on weeds and thinking hard about the future while not working today:

"Am I going to live like this for the rest of my life? With my face facing the loess and my back turned to the sky, I will be a slave to others, without any guarantee of survival, without even a place to stay..."

He doesn't want to live like this!
I don’t want to live a hard and numb life like these villagers, staying in a small village and suffering all my life!
"read!"

"I want to study!"

In the ancient world, the only legitimate way for ordinary people to cross class was through the imperial examination!

Learning is valuable than anything else!
Only by studying and becoming an official can you become a master!

At this moment, Zhao Xuanqi stood up. He felt that he could not live a life without a future like this, so he chose to fight.
