The next day, Jia Rongtian got up before dawn. Although he was no longer in the army, Jia Rong still retained the habits in the army and insisted on running and fighting military fists every day.

Today, Jia Rong practiced harder because he knew that it was only two years before the Yellow Turban Uprising. With more strength in the troubled times, he had more hope of survival.

After running around the village for a few laps, Jia Rong returned to Old Man Li's yard to practice military fist.

When he was in the army, Jia Rong's military fist was very good, and he fully mastered the elements of military fist, which were stable, accurate and ruthless, so he was also full of vigor when fighting.

Just as dawn, Old Man Li got up and saw Jia Rong punching in the yard, he was watching quietly from the side.

When General Jia Rong punched his body twice and rested beside him, Old Man Li stepped forward and said, "See that although the young master's boxing technique was short, it was fatal and powerful."

Jia Rong glanced at Old Man Li in surprise, but he didn't expect that the old man was still a trainer and knew a lot.

Old Man Li seemed to see Jia Rong's confusion and continued: "Everyone in our village practices martial arts. This is our Xiliang habit."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "So why do you see that the village is full of women and children, and it is rare to see young and middle-aged people?"

A look of sadness flashed in Old Man Li's eyes and said, "Almost all young and middle-aged people have been recruited to serve in the army, and one out of ten is left. Now only some old, weak, women and children are left. Alas..."

Jia Rong also showed a hint of helplessness. Xiliang was a poor place in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The people lived a hard life, and corrupt officials kept plundering people's wealth, which made Xiliang, which was originally poor, even worse.

Jia Rong couldn't bear to see the sad expression of Old Man Li, and comforted him: "When the peaceful and prosperous era comes, the people can live a good life, so don't worry."

Old man Li said, "Young Master, don't comfort me. Although I am old, I can still see some things clearly."

After a while, Xiu'er, wearing a blue shirt, came out of the house and said, "Young master, the toilet water has been prepared, please wash and have a meal."

Today, Xiu'er's dressing made Jia Rong's eyes lit up. Jia Rong responded with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Xiu'er, Miss Xiu'er dresses so beautifully today, she is as good as the immortal in the sky!" Jia Rong praised Xiu'er by the way.

Unexpectedly, Xiu'er's face turned red immediately, and even the usual kind old man Li looked angry.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jia Rong hurriedly fled into the house.

A month passed, and Jia Rong gradually adapted to life here and was able to communicate normally with the people in the village.

Occasionally, I said something that made Xiu'er blush and became more and more familiar with Xiu'er. When I had nothing to do, I went to the nearby mountain to look far away. Most of the time I went to the mountain with the young man in the village to chop wood and hunt.

The firewood that was hunted was sold to a nearby market for some pocket money, and bought some rice and flour for Old Man Li's family to reduce the burden on Old Man Li's family. For this, Old Man Li's family was also very grateful to Jia Rong.

After a month, Jia Rong had some surplus. This kind of life made Jia Rong feel ordinary and it was actually quite good.

Today, Jia Rong and the villagers went to the market together and brought the prey they had cut in firewood to the market to sell. Today Xiu'er also came with her, wearing a green dress, which looked particularly refreshing and beautiful.

Xiu'er kept begging Old Man Li and Jia Rong to go to the market early in the morning. Old Man Li refused. Xiu'er kept begging, but Old Man Li couldn't resist it and agreed.

After breakfast, Old Man Li told Jia Rong to pay attention to the issues on the road, asking him to take good care of Xiu'er, and told him to go and go back early and pay attention to safety on the road.

Stepping on the morning sunshine and the birds' cheers, Jia Rong and a few young men from the village were walking to the market together. Jia Rong pushed a wheelbarrow and brought the prey he had cut recently.

At the beginning, Jia Rong was not used to this kind of wheelbarrow, and pushed it around and slowly mastered the trick, so it would not be so hard.

Several young men also pushed two wheelbarrows, full of loads.

Li Li was met when Jia Rong went to chop wood on the mountain. The young man was very lively, jumping around all day long, catching fish in the river, and digging bird nests on the trees.

According to Old Man Li, Li Li's father was recruited to serve in the army five years ago and has not returned yet.

Also accompanying Li San, Li Hu, Li Shun, and the young men are all fifteen or sixteen years old.

As his name suggests, Li Hu is the one with the strongest and strongest among the young men, similar to those of the simple-minded and well-developed limbs in later generations.

Among the few people, only Li Shun was very taciturn and could not make a single fart with a few slaps.

Everyone is very happy today, and it is rare to go out.

It was almost noon after the goods brought to the market were processed, and there were not many people in the market today.

Jia Rong and everyone agreed on a meeting place, so they went to buy things.

Jia Rong was walking along the not-so-large market, while Xiu'er followed Jia Rong all the way. Jia Rong thought about it and didn't buy anything, so he just wandered around.

When passing by a blacksmith shop, Jia Rong stopped.

I thought I had been here for more than a month and it was time to build a weapon to defend myself. After all, the world today is not peaceful.

The blacksmith shop has a complete range of things, including farm tillage tools and knives.

After careful selection of prices, Jia Rong asked the blacksmith to create a very ordinary knife.

After some bargaining, he also asked most of Jia Rong's belongings. Jia Rong told the blacksmith to make it carefully when creating it. The blacksmith waved his hand impatiently and said he knew it.

Finally, the blacksmith said it would take a week to build it, so that Jia Rong would take it later. This made Jia Rong feel depressed and thought he could build it in a while.

Not long after walking out of the blacksmith shop, Jia Rong saw a small stall selling jewelry on the street, similar to the street vendors in later generations.

Jia Rong looked back at Xiu'er who was following him, came to the stall, and after careful selection, he picked a green hairpin.

After asking about the price, after paying, I turned around and prepared to wear it for Xiao Cui.

When Xiu'er saw his movements, her face turned red again. At this time, Jia Rong also realized that his behavior had some of the same in ancient times.

Seeing that Xiu'er was not resisting, Jia Rong also put it on her with shame. After Jia Rong put it on, Xiu'er lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Brother Jia."

At this time, the woman selling jewelry saw it and said, "Your wife is so beautiful when she wears this hairpin, she looks like a fairy in the sky."

Jia Rong was speechless for a moment. What this is all about. Without looking at Xiu'er, she knew that her face must be redder than before.

At noon after buying the hairpin, Jia Rong and Xiu'er came to a hotel called Xu Family Restaurant together.

Following the waiter to a window, Jia Rong looked at Xiu'er and asked, "Xiu'er, what do you want to eat?"

Xiu'er looked at Jia Rong looking at her, lowered her head embarrassedly, and whispered: "I'll just eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles."

Jia Rong said to the waiter who was greeting next to him: "Two bowls of plain noodles, a stack of peanuts, half a chicken, and a pot of tea."

After hearing this, the waiter said, "Okay, please wait a moment, the food will come later."

After the waiter left, Xiu'er said to Jia Rong: "Brother, don't waste it so much."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "It's okay, you Brother Jia still has some surplus food in your pocket."

After saying that, he teased Xiu'er and said, "Miss, you are so beautiful when you wear this hairpin!"

Xiu'er could not withstand his teasing. She lowered her head with a red face and said, "Brother, if you tease me again, I will ignore you."

A lunch brought the distance between Jia Rong and Xiu'er much closer.

After lunch, Jia Rong said to Xiu'er: "Xiu'er, go and buy what you like. I'll wait for you at the agreed teahouse. Go and come back early, pay attention to safety."

Xiu'er whispered, "Well, Brother Jia."

After leaving the restaurant, Xiu'er went to buy things, and Jia Rong came all the way to the agreed teahouse.

When I arrived at the teahouse, I asked for a pot of tea and listened quietly to the people next to me chat.

Jia Rong felt that it was interesting to listen to everyone in the teahouse for a long time to talk nonsense. Sometimes some useful information was also heard from the teahouse. At this time, a conversation attracted him.

A said to B: "Do you know? The barbarians that Dong Zhuo beaten a few days ago were obedient and very powerful. Now they are the number one figure in Xiliang."

B said: "Dong Zhuo? Is he powerful as Ma Teng? The foreigners whom Ma Teng and Ma attacked did not dare to invade the Xiliang border. When it comes to General Ma, Xiliang doesn't admire him."

A said: "Oh, no matter who is powerful, the world today is getting more and more chaotic, and wars are constantly coming, and it is said that many places are famine now."

Dong Zhuo? It has been more than a month since he arrived in the Three Kingdoms and finally heard of famous figures in history.

Dong Zhuo was a Han general in his early years, quelling ethnic minority rebellion in the West. Later, he participated in the fight against the Yellow Turban Uprising. He was defeated several times, but he was still promoted to a former general and in charge of heavy troops. Dong Zhuo held his own troops and stationed in Hedong. He refused to accept the conscript from the court and gave up military power. When the Kyoto was in chaos, He Jin was killed. Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to enter Beijing and control the central government. Later, Dong Zhuo abolished the Shao Emperor of Han and established Emperor Xian of Han. The princes of Kanto allied to attack Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo gave up Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo was cruel by nature. After being in power, he lent a heavy levy, which aroused public anger and was finally murdered by Wang Yun and Lu Bu.

About an hour later, everyone came to the agreed teahouse one after another.

Jia Rong found that Xiu'er also held a relatively good-looking piece of cloth in her hand.

On the way back to the village, Jia Rong asked Xiu'er what she was buying cloth. Xiu'er lowered her head and said shyly, "I saw that Brother Li didn't have any fitting clothes, so she bought a piece of cloth to prepare a piece of clothes for her brother."

Li Li and the others heard it and all followed each other to make a fuss, making Jia Rong feel embarrassed even if he is so thick-skinned. However, Jia Rong's heart was also warm. It would be good if someone cared about him, so he couldn't help but look at Xiu'er with gratitude.
