Chapter 3 Do’s and Don’ts

 I don’t know if it was because the discovery of the pheasant had overdrawn his luck today. In the next few hours, Fan Ming climbed two mountains without finding any trace of the prey.

Traces of bear claws were even found on the trunk of a big tree, and a tiger roar was vaguely heard...

He indirectly encountered three mountain overlords in one day. If Fan Ming hadn't had some experience in tracking traces, he would probably have only bones left.

Only then did Fan Ming remember the old almanac that appeared in his mind today.

Is it possible that all the above is true? No hunting today?

Before evening, Fan Ming ran back home in despair.

In the house, Fan Li saw her brother coming back empty-handed, but she didn't say anything. She was not a young lady who was indifferent to food and exercise. She was born in an Orion family, and Fan Li had some knowledge of hunting.

In this season, animals in the mountains rarely leave their nests unless necessary, making hunting more difficult. Even the old hunters in the village sometimes come back empty-handed.

So it’s not surprising that my brother came back empty-handed.

As long as everyone is safe and sound, that's fine.

Fan Li timidly held a bowl and walked up to his brother. Just when he was about to say something, he found that Fan Ming's face didn't have any trace of the shame or frustration of returning empty-handed, and there was even a little excitement...

This was the first time that Fan Li saw her brother fail in hunting, but there was no negative emotion on his face. She was a little curious about what his brother had experienced today.

Fan Ming suddenly froze when he saw Fan Li walking in front of him. He wiped his face and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Fan Li came back to his senses and shook his head, "Well...it's nothing. I just wanted to say that I'm going to borrow some food from my second aunt's house next door. Brother, please take a look at the house..."

Before she finished speaking, Fan Ming put an index finger to her mouth and waved it, "From now on, polite words such as please and trouble are not allowed in our house. The one just now doesn't count.

But if anyone breaks the law in the future, I will serve you!"

There are only a few people in this family, so using too many polite words will only alienate the relationship.

Fan Li's expression was a little strange, "Brother... what is our family law?"

This question stopped Fan Ming. He could only cough and change the subject: "Let's not talk about this for now. You should go borrow food first."

Fan Li said softly "Oh", turned around and walked out of the door.

Fan Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that the older this little girl is, the harder it will be to fool her...

Then he turned around and started studying the old almanac in his mind.

Because he was in the mountains, danger could arise at any time. Fan Ming had to focus on tracking prey and guarding against possible dangers, and could not stop studying this old almanac.

Now that he is back home, he can finally study it carefully.

Fan Ming closed his eyes, and a few seconds later the old almanac appeared in his mind again.

[The twenty-fourth day of the ninth lunar month

Renyin Year (Year of the Tiger) Gengxu Month Yisi Day

Suitable for: making alliances, accepting gifts, meeting relatives and friends, receiving wealth, and shepherding

Taboo: praying, burial, hunting

Contrast: Conflict with Pig (Ji Hai) and evil in the East

Peng Zubaiji: If you don’t plant a thousand trees, they won’t grow, and you won’t travel far and have treasure hidden in them.

The fetus god divination: the owner of the grinder room

Lucky direction: Southeast】

After browsing the above content again, the most important things here should be "should" and "taboo".

The former tells you things that are suitable for you to do today, while the latter tells you things that are taboo or inappropriate for you to do today.

As he looked at it, Fan Ming suddenly discovered that the words behind "Yi" and "Ji" were slightly different from the others. It had a glimmer of light.

What is this?

Fan Ming curiously focused on the word "hunting".

The content on the old almanac changed in the next second.

[Hunting (taboo): Hunting is not going well today, the risk index increases by 31%]

Fan Ming was stunned on the spot. He seemed to understand the use of this old almanac!

In order to confirm his thoughts, he clicked "Entertainment" next to "Yi".

[Alliance making (appropriate): The alliance was made smoothly today, and the alliance friendship index increased by 33%]

Fan Ming suddenly became enlightened!

Sure enough, as he thought, this old almanac is not a feudal superstition at all, but like a prophecy, it tells Fan Ming what is appropriate and taboo today.

And looking at the words "danger index" and "friendliness index" at the back, it seems to indicate that this is not just about telling you whether things will go smoothly, but there may also be additional bonuses!

"No wonder we encountered three ferocious beasts one after another today. I bet these things are causing trouble!" Fan Ming was frightened for a while.

If he hadn't been careful enough today, he might have seen his dead father.

Just when Fan Ming was still scared, Fan Li came back, holding a bowl of colorful "grains" in his hand.

It is more accurate to describe it as grains, because there are several things in it, including a little rice, a little beans, a little wheat grains and most of the bran.

That is, the husks of grains such as rice, millet, wheat, beans, and hemp. In the era before Fan Ming traveled through time, even pigs wouldn’t eat them!

In some rural areas, pigs may also be fed grain chaff.

When Fan Ming was a kid, if his rice was mixed with 1% of grain chaff, he would dump the entire bowl of rice (of course, there would definitely be a mixed doubles game afterwards, so I don’t recommend imitating it).

This shows how unpalatable this thing is.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Fan Ming knew that this was not because the aunt next door was making things difficult for them, a pair of orphans without parents, but because the rains in the summer were not good today, resulting in a poor harvest in the county, and the prices of various grains have also risen accordingly.

The aunt's family next door also has to live with their belts tightened, so it's a kindness to be able to lend them these "grains".

It's too late for Fan Ming to thank others, so how can he blame others?

Fan Ming suddenly thought of something, rubbed Fan Li's little head, and said: "Fan Li, remember, those who are willing to help our family in our most difficult times are our great benefactors. If we become rich that day in the future, we must not forget it."

These people."

"Yes!" Fan Li nodded vigorously...



The next day, early morning.

Since the biological clock of this body was not affected by the time-travel, Fan Ming woke up as soon as it started to dawn.

Although it is a bit hard to say, it was unprecedented for Fan Ming to get up at seven o'clock in his previous life, and it was common for him to sleep until eleven or twelve o'clock on weekends.

Go to bed early and get up early, feel refreshed!

A body that has practiced martial arts is different!

Compared with the semi-disabled body in his previous life that could gasp for breath even after running for a kilometer, Fan Ming was so satisfied with his current state.

Outside the house, Fan Ming habitually practiced a set of boxing skills given to him by his father in the yard.

Then I started to do the second thing...
Chapter completed!
