Chapter 1
In early spring, the cold wave has not yet subsided, the biting north wind is howling, and there is still snow in the low-lying areas of the valley's back. On the river beach on the south bank, there is a large elm forest growing. On the withered branches, if you look closely, tender buds have already been drawn.
Wei Shi leaned against the elm tree, his expression changed. It was only after an hour that he bowed his head to accept the reality of traveling through time.
Wei Shi, who was born in a small town, had an ordinary farmer, and relied on the diligence of a test-worker, he was admitted to his ideal university and then studied for a master's degree. After graduation, he settled in Shencheng and became a senior technician...
If we don’t travel through time, Wei Shi’s next dream is to buy a house in this big city, then marry a virtuous and filial wife, settle down, and hope to take over the parents who have worked hard all their lives in the family during their lifetime.
But life is impermanent. Before Wei Shi could save enough of the down payment for the house, he encountered a car accident on his way back to the rental house and then became a member of the army of time travel.
The man who possessed him was about seventeen years old and his surname was Wei and his nickname was Shi Tou.
This small village called Yushuwan is where their group of refugees from the north rest.
This break took more than ten years. Wei Shi's mother passed away after giving birth to a girl. Wei's father had the skill of making ironwork and could make farm tools. He relied on this craftsmanship to support a son and a daughter.
Last summer, Wei Blacksmith suffered from an epidemic and finally left after lying in bed for more than half a year.
The Wei family was gone, leaving only Wei Shi, the half-year-old boy, Wei Xiaoe, an eight-year-old girl, who was sitting in vain and relied on the neighbors to give alms, pick elm seeds, dig up bitter vegetables, and barely survived. The life was as miserable as it was.
The farthest place people in Yushuwan have ever been to is Xinye County. They only know that the biggest official is the county magistrate. As for who is above the county magistrate, the villagers no longer care about it.
Wei Shi had just traveled through time and didn't dare to ask more questions for a moment.
However, judging from the clothes worn by the villagers, Wei Shi judged that it was in the Han Dynasty, and the possibility of the Eastern Han Dynasty was quite high, but he didn't know which dynasty was specific.
During the conversation with the villagers, he heard the words of Wancheng, General Zhang, Cao Sikong and others, and had some speculations in his heart.
What is the world? Wei Shi is not the one who cares most about now.
The most important thing he is now is how to survive.
Wei Shi learned the skills of the old Wei Takao, but after learning, he actually made up his mind, but fewer successes and more failures.
Whether it is a kitchen knife, a hatchet or a sickle, it always breaks.
The reason is also very simple. There are many impurities in pig iron. Wei Shi is not strong enough and can't knead it even if he can help the farmers beat them a few times, and gradually no one will look for him again.
At Wei Shi's age, if you want to rely on blacksmith's craftsmanship, you can only improve the furnace for burning wood and increase the strength of the blowing force, so that you can barely increase the temperature and melt away the impurities in the pig iron. Otherwise, the things you made will be useless if you don't use them a few times.
For the time being, Wei Shi could not make a living by relying on craftsmanship, so he could only pin his hope of survival on hunting. Most of the men in the village of Yushuwan rely on this to support their families.
To hunt, you need to have a handy guy.
After Wei Shi figured it out, he started a simple crossbow in the elm forest.
Elm trees are a good material for vehicles, bridges, farm tools, utensils and construction. In his previous life, Wei Shi helped the villagers do carpenters. When he was in college, he worked part-time in a club for making bows and crossbows. He is not unfamiliar with the method of making wooden bows.
However, later generations are later generations, and now it is now. When Wei Shi cut off the elm branches with a hatchet, he realized that thinking is not the same as doing.
In later generations, there were machine tools, drilling machines, and electricity. Now he had nothing but a hatchet.
Six materials for making bows: dry, angle, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer.
Everything else is easy to deal with, it is the tendon. According to the efficacy, it is best to beef tendon.
Wei Shi had no cow tendon in his hand, so he could only find a kudzu vine in the elm forest, peeled off the outer skin, took out the elastic vine inside, and temporarily used it as a bowstring and bow tendon.
After working hard for a whole day, Wei Shi barely made a elm bow. After trying it, he could shoot more than ten steps away. He should have no problem hitting small prey such as hares and pheasants.
It was already dark. Wei Shi had been busy for a day and was screaming in his stomach. Thinking that his younger sister was still waiting for him, Wei Shixin made a decision to go deep into the mountains and forests in the dark to see if he could catch some prey.
In his previous life, Wei Shi's family was in the countryside, and there were mountains and forests next to him, so he was not afraid. In addition, he didn't know if it was a benefit of traveling through time. Wei Shi's eyes were not troubled by night blindness, and his vision in the dark was not affected at all.
In February, plants and trees grow and all things reviv.
Animals that hibernated for a winter also woke up from hunger, and their stomachs were in urgent need of nutrition before they could have the strength to mate.
For hunters, it is the best time to hunt.
Not long after Wei Shi walked, he found a puddle, and footprints of varying depths on the ground surprised him.
It is right for the rabbit to wait for the time being.
After waiting for about half an hour, a gray figure gradually moved closer to him, a little deer who was thirsty and wanted to drink water.
The muntja is timid by nature. While drinking water, she also looks up from time to time and looks around.
However, although it was alert, it was inadequate in its intelligence and did not find Wei Shi lying on the elm branch.
When the muntjac had enough water and wanted to turn around and leave, the elm bow string in Wei Shi's hand loosened.
The sharpened arrow went from top to bottom and instantly rushed straight to the deer-in-law's long neck. After making a puff, the rest of his energy was nailed to a dead tree on the ground.
When Wei Shi came down from the tree and came to the muntjac, he found that the guy was still struggling with his neck tilted, trying to get up and escape with difficulty, but it was obvious that there was a piece of dead wood dragging it, and it could not get rid of it even if it was not injured.
"Haha, this time I'm lucky. Although this muntjac is a little smaller, it has a lot of flesh and good skin. You can change something." Wei Shi was surprised.
After pulling out the arrow, Wei Shi had no intention of shooting other prey. He hurriedly carried the dying deer and headed straight to his home at the foot of the mountain.
This time, after leaving for a whole day, Wei Xiao'e was alone at home, and I don't know what happened.
There are more than 20 families in Yushuwan, and half of them are the Cai clan in the village. The rest are refugees like the Wei family. Wei Shi's home is located at the east end of the village, with few families next to it.
Wei Shi, who was worried about the girl in his heart, walked straight to his home.
Although he was just a girl from his predecessor, as his elder brother, Wei Shi had the obligation and responsibility to raise Wei Xiao'e, which was the meaning of his busy day today and taking his prey home.
Before he could reach the door, he heard Wei Xiao'e's crying from inside, and sometimes there were men's rude and ruthless screams.
Oops.
It's still too late to get there.
Wei Shi felt anxious, his shoulders sank, and he threw the deer into the ground, and kicked the half-closed door with his elm bow.
