Chapter 1: Specially cut the hemp rope at the thinnest places

 While packing up the belongings of his grandparents, Fan Ming found an almanac in the utility room of his hometown.

The almanac, also known as the old almanac, is an almanac that can display multiple calendars such as the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar, and the Ganzhi calendar at the same time, and is appended with a large number of rules and content related to seeking good luck and avoiding evil.

After entering the new century, the almanac was gradually forgotten by people because of its feudal superstition. However, at least when Fan Ming was a child, the almanac was still a must-have for every household.

So Fan Ming is no stranger to the existence of the almanac, but the almanac he is holding now is a little unusual.

When I first found it, it was pressed under a table leg. It looked like an old almanac used to cushion the table leg, and it was covered with dust.

Fan Ming took it out from under the table leg out of curiosity, and something magical happened.

He just shook his hand casually, and the old almanac that was originally covered with dust became as new as new in the blink of an eye. No trace of dust could be seen when his fingers brushed it, and even the square dents on the cover that had been pressed by the table legs over the years were gone.

No trace.

Although Fan Ming didn't understand the principle, he was greatly shocked.

Fan Ming, who realized he had found a treasure, naturally had to study it carefully.

As a result, when he opened the first page of the almanac, a dazzling bright light suddenly appeared on the almanac, followed by a strong suction force. Before Fan Ming could react, his whole body was sucked in.

Got in...

◇◇◇

"Brother, the rice vat at home is almost at its bottom..."

An ethereal girl's voice was like a dragonfly touching water, gently touching Fan Ming's calm world of consciousness, causing ripples.

Fan Ming opened his eyes drowsily, and what he saw was a black roof made of thatch and mud, with a vague smell of mold lingering on the tip of his nose.

What the hell is this place?

Aren’t I packing things in my hometown?

By the way, I seem to have found a treasure... What is it?

"Brother, let's stop hunting in the future... A few idiots came to the village just now. Why don't you sell your sister? The money can be used as capital to do other things. Hunting is really too dangerous...



The girl's voice appeared in Fan Ming's ears again, with a hint of sobs.

Who is my brother?

Am I not an only child?

And what is a bastard?

Human trafficker?

How dare something like that that should be killed by a thousand cuts come to the village?

As if to answer Fan Ming's doubts, a torrent of memories poured into his mind.

This information that was both familiar and unfamiliar made Fan Ming feel like he was experiencing a person's life in just a few minutes.

He...enlightened!

It turns out that he traveled to a dynasty called Daqing, and it was a world with real kung fu.

The man he replaced is also named Fan Ming. He even looks very similar, but his current identity is a hunter from Beishan County.

A year ago, Fan Ming's father encountered a blind bear with a cub when he went hunting in the mountains, and died from the bear's paw.

Not long after that, his mother passed away due to excessive sadness.

Only Fan Ming and a young sister were left.

This situation is bad enough.

However, as the old saying goes, hemp ropes only break at the thinnest points, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.

Six days ago, Fan Ming, who only inherited part of his father's hunting skills, accidentally strayed into the territory of an eye-catching white-fronted tiger. As a result, he accidentally slipped down a hillside while escaping. Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise.

Although he was slightly injured, the tiger seemed to have lost interest in chasing him after seeing him fall down the hillside.

Only then did Fan Ming save his life.

But the misfortune did not end there. Due to his injury, Fan Ming was unable to go hunting for the past six days. In addition, the money spent on buying medicine to treat the injury made this already poor family even worse.<

/p>

Now I don’t even have enough rice to cook a few bowls of porridge at home.

Only then did my sister Fan Li say that she wanted her brother to sell her.

Fan Li was really scared. Her father died while hunting, and her brother almost died at the mouth of a tiger. She would rather sell herself as a slave than see her last relative die in the mountains.

Fan Ming turned to look at his sister next to him. At the age of fourteen, he was very handsome. If he had been in the era of Fan Ming's previous life, he would have become the first crush of many boys and girls when they first fell in love. But now he is

Fan Ming was a little short and thin due to malnutrition, which made Fan Ming feel a little distressed.

Fan Ming had always wanted a sister in his previous life, but now that his dream had come true, he couldn't be happier.

Seeing her brother looking at her, Fan Li lowered her head timidly. She thought it was her words that made Fan Ming angry.

However, in the next second, Fan Ming's big hand was already on her head, and he said in a very firm tone: "If our family really reaches the end of the road, the one who wants to sell himself will not be you, but me!

After all, your brother and I still have some martial arts skills. Isn’t it better to sell myself to a wealthy family as a caretaker than to work as a maid for others as a little girl like you?"

In fact, what Fan Ming is more worried about is that if his sister's appearance falls into the hands of a prostitute, it is very likely that she will not be sold as a maid, but will be sent to a brothel...

This is something Fan Ming cannot accept!

"But..." Fan Li opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else.

Fan Ming directly covered her mouth and said: "It's nothing, doesn't our family still have the last emergency money? It's time to use it!"

As soon as these words came out, Fan Li became anxious. She shook her head crazily and said, "No! That was the money left by my father and mother as a gift for my brother. If I use it now, my brother will not be able to marry a wife!"<

/p>

Fan Ming suddenly felt dumbfounded, "You are considering selling yourself, but you are still worried about whether I can get a wife. With our family like this, do you think I can get a wife with the gift money?"

Fan Li was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, but he still said unwillingly: "My brother is beautiful and capable... I will definitely get a wife..."

Fan Ming smiled and rubbed her head. The only person who would praise him for his abilities was his own sister. In fact, Fan Ming always had a nickname in the village - "Empty-handed Hunter", describing that he often came home empty-handed.

.

Because his father died early, he was unable to teach Fan Ming all his skills. Over the past year, Fan Ming only dared to wander around the edge of the mountain and did not dare to go even half a step into the mountain. He almost died at the claws of a tiger.

The dish lives up to its name.

As for being beautiful, it is true. Fan Ming's family can basically be said to be "village flowers" and "village grass" in appearance, otherwise the "simple" villagers would not just call him "empty-handed hunter"

Such a friendly nickname.

"Today you go and borrow food from the second aunt's house next door for two days in case of emergency."

With that said, Fan Ming got out of bed.

Looking at Fan Ming's actions, Fan Li frowned slightly, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
