A log as thick as an arm was split into two halves, and each fell under the stump. Shang Yi picked up another log, placed it on the stump, and chopped it down again with his axe. On the ground around the stump,
Dozens of logs were scattered around and split into two halves.
There is only one grandfather in Ye Yaoyao's family named Ye Xingshi, and the grandfather and grandson depend on each other in this small mountain village. Because Ye Xingshi has some medical skills, he makes a living by treating people in the village.
Since Shang Yi came to this small village, he has lived in Ye Yaoyao's house. Shang Yi has done all the heavy work of fetching water and chopping firewood by himself. Unlike modern people who like to live overnight, Shang Yi developed the habit of going to bed early in the army.
He had the habit of getting up early, so he got up before dawn every day, first chopped the firewood, then fetched water, and then went up to the mountains to hunt. It was a standard farming life.
With a sound of "Grab it!", Shang Yi placed the ax on the wooden stake, wiped his sweat, and then picked up the scattered firewood one by one. Only then did he realize that at some point, Ye Xingshi stood beside him with his sutra.
Behind me.
Shang Yi quickly straightened up and said, "Uncle Ye, are you up too?"
Ye Xingshi said with a smile: "Shang Yi, thank you very much these days. It's cold. Put on your clothes and don't catch a cold."
Because he was working, Shang Yi was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and camouflage trousers. It was September, but according to the modern Gregorian calendar, it should be mid-October, which is the beginning of autumn.
Although Shandong is in northern China, it is close to the ocean and has a typical ocean monsoon climate. The temperature in winter and autumn is not too low. Moreover, Shang Yi lives in the army, so he does not feel cold. However, he still wears long-sleeved clothes.
, said: "Uncle Ye, you are too polite. If you hadn't taken me in, I would have been sleeping on the street now. It's right to help you with some work. And it's not tiring to do this work, just treat it as an activity.
My muscles and bones are gone. After chopping the firewood, I will go fetch water right away."
Ye Xingshi nodded and said with a smile: "No, the water you carried yesterday is still enough. Go back and have a rest. Lao Cheng is going to town today, so you should take Yao Yao with you. I am old.
, I don’t want to move anymore, otherwise I would have wanted her to go out and see the world, and you can go out and see it just in time.”
The elder Cheng is Cheng Jin, the father of the two Chengjie brothers. He is also the only person in the village who raises livestock. He has a donkey and a big car at home. There are only fifty-three households in the village, and most of them
They all make a living by hunting, collecting wild fruits, and medicinal materials. Those who do not farm can only grow some vegetables by the pond outside the village.
This mountain village is very remote. There are more than 20 miles of mountain roads from the nearest town, and the people who live there have moved from all over the country. Only the old people will drive to the town every ten days or so to help the villagers carry the prey they have caught.
The collected wild fruits, medicinal materials and other items are bought, and Lao Cheng will also buy some necessities for daily life, and then resell them to the villagers to make a passing profit. Some people will ask him to sell some items they need. However, it is precisely because of the location.
It's so remote that even the government doesn't bother to come here to collect taxes. Therefore, the residents' life is very comfortable, a bit like a paradise.
In fact, Shang Yi had long wanted to leave the village to see the outside world, but he didn't know the way and had no money, so it was useless to go out. Therefore, he had to endure it for the time being. When he heard that Lao Cheng was leaving Murakami Town again today,
I immediately decided that I must go with him to have a look this time, and then I could decide my next plan.
At this time, Ye Xingshi said again: "But your clothes are too strange. The people in the town are not as easy to talk to as in our village. In order to save you trouble, I found one of my robes for you and put it in your house."
Here, you go try it on and see if it fits." After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.
Only then did Shang Yi think that he was wearing camouflage uniforms and had a crew cut, which was really unusual in this era. When he first came to this village, he attracted a lot of people to watch, but later he became familiar with the villagers.
I'm used to it, and if I get to the town, I won't be treated as a monster. Old man Ye thought that he was very considerate, so he nodded and said: "Thank you, Uncle Ye, I'll put the firewood and go."
Ye Xingshi nodded and said, "I'll go and tell Lao Cheng first, and you'll be ready too."
Shang Yi piled up the firewood and then returned to his room. Sure enough, he saw a green long fir hanging at the door and a hat. Although Shang Yi was half a head taller than Old Man Ye, the ancient long fir was all
It was very roomy and could easily be worn, and the hat could just cover my short hair. Only then did I realize that Old Man Ye had indeed thought very carefully.
After Futsuji carefully replied to what he just said, Shang Yi felt that this old man was a little weird. He said that he was "just in time to go out and have a look." What did he mean? Could it be that he had already guessed that he wanted to go to this village. Shang Yi was also in the army
He has been trained to deal with people, but he has been here for more than ten days and has become familiar with the villagers, but he is still a little confused about Ye Xingshi.
Ye Xingshi is about sixty years old. Although his beard and hair are a little gray, his eyes are faintly beautiful and his expression is reserved. He is completely different from the temperament of ordinary villagers. And when Ye Yaoqi took him home,
No matter who it is, they will carefully question a stranger, and a stranger with a very weird body and hairstyle, about his origins. This is human nature. But Ye Xingshi did not, and just asked himself a few simple questions,
So he took the initiative to ask him to stay. Moreover, some of the information he learned was all obtained from Ye Xingshi. Moreover, the medical skills of Ye Xingshi were not ordinary medical skills. They were actually acupuncture treatments, which Shang Yi had seen with his own eyes.
Twice he treated the villagers like this.
Not counting these, there is also Ye Yaoqi. Although she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is very beautiful and has an innocent personality, but she does not look like a country girl. Moreover, this little girl can actually do martial arts. She once
Holding a hunting fork, I have sparred with Shang Yi several times. Although he is still young, lacks strength, and lacks experience, every move is very solid. It can be said that he has worked hard for five or six years.
Of course, it was all taught by Ye Xingshi, and Ye Xingshi did not deny this. An old country man has so many abilities.
However, although Ye Xingshi had many things that puzzled Shang Yi, he trusted Shang Yi very much. Since Shang Yi came, he let Shang Yi take Ye Yaoyao to hunt in the mountains almost every day, seemingly without any precautions.
Heart.
So much so that Shang Yi sometimes still wonders whether Old Man Ye has fallen in love with him and plans to give this precious granddaughter to him. This is the case in many online novels. After the protagonist travels through time, he is immediately spotted in Yintang.
Shining brightly, with his forehead pointing up to the sky, his eyes shining brightly, and his movements of hands and feet showing the air of a bastard, he immediately paid homage and presented his wealth and his beautiful daughter or granddaughter with both hands. After being polite, the protagonist
He accepted it, and then began his journey of hunting down beautiful women.
Of course, these are YY's thoughts, but Ye Xingshi is definitely not an ordinary old man. However, Shang Yi is still very grateful to Ye Xingshi's ancestors and grandchildren. If they hadn't taken him in, he might not know what he would be like now. ?And Ye Yaoqi is also a very lovable little girl. To say that Shang Yi has no other thoughts about her would be to deceive himself.
However, Ye Yaojia's current age was just a junior high school student or high school student in Shang Yi's past time and space. To attack such a girl would be worse than a beast. Although in modern society, there are some people who like this, but this person Shang Yi can't change his mind for a while, so let's take care of him for two years first.
Ever since Shang Yi traveled to this mountain village, he easily snatched the title of the village's number one hunter. Because during his field training, Shu was familiar with the habits and life patterns of most animals. Although he did not use a pistol, he also used a crossbow. Modern high-tech products, with sights and infrared scanning, made hunting really easy. Although he only had a dozen days, he hunted two leopards, five wolves, and more than a dozen roe deer and yellow sheep. As for wild animals, smaller animals such as foxes are not to mention. Yesterday, one person killed an adult black bear. Some people may not be able to kill so many prey in a year. Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, Cheng Jin, Cheng Gang, Duan Peng and other young people in the village admired him even more.
However, Shang Yi is also very generous and often shares the prey he catches with other villagers. The black bear was skinned and each household in the village was given a large piece of bear meat. The villagers are all simple-minded. Naturally, I am very grateful when receiving favors from others. In addition, Shang Yi is an easy-going person. Therefore, although Shang Yi has not been in this small village for a long time, he soon became popular among the villagers.
Lao Cheng's name is Cheng Jinzhong. He is in his forties and is quite shrewd. He is one of the very few literate people in this small village. The last time Lao Cheng went to the market, Shang Yi accounted for more than half of his prey, and they were all good products. A total of more than fifty taels of silver were bought during the trip, of which thirty-seven taels belonged to Shang Yi. Lao Cheng also made a small profit from it, eight taels of silver, of which two taels were rewarded by Shang Yi alone. He underestimated the eight taels of silver. Living in a mountain village would be enough for a year's living expenses. Therefore, Lao Cheng was also grateful to Shang Yi. As soon as he heard that he was going to go to the show with him, he immediately waited in the car at the door of Ye's house. he.
And Shang Yi also wanted to sell the prey he had hunted in the past two days, especially the bear skin. I heard from Lao Cheng that it was worth at least twenty taels of silver. If he wanted to go out for a living in the future, he would definitely not be able to do it without money.
Several teenagers who had a good relationship with him on weekdays heard that Shang Yi was going to the show with Lao Cheng, so they all wanted to go with him. Shang Yi thought that he would also take Ye Yaoyao there, and felt that it was crowded and lively, so they all agreed, and Xiang Laocheng told Laocheng that he would pay for the food and lodging in the town. When Laocheng saw what he said, he had no objection. So everyone helped him and loaded the bearskin and several other prey into the car.
Shang Yi also changed into a robe, but to be cautious, he still put on camouflage clothes under the robe and brought all the weapons he could carry. Then he took Ye Yaoyao, followed Lao Cheng's car, and told others After joking, we set off from the small village.
