My head hurts so much! I opened my eyes and saw that there were trees all around, and it was a mountainside. I was lying on the grass. When I stood up, I felt that my body was light and full of strength.
Who am I? Why are I here? Oh, my name is Zhang Huahan. I remember, I killed a powerful Japanese bad guy, poor Wang Fang! Where is this place? I obviously escaped to the border between China and Myanmar.
, where is this again?
I had no choice but to leave first. Only then did I realize that I was wearing a cotton gown from a costume drama and thick-soled cotton boots. I thought about it for a long time and didn’t know what was going on. I thought: It’s over now. I’m wearing all the clothes.
I wear ancient costumes so that others can recognize me immediately. I must not bump into anyone. Oops! I also lost all my money and dry food. What happened?
I was muttering in my mind when I saw two people in front of me wearing traditional shorts and patched clothes carrying bundles of branches down the mountain. I quickly avoided it, but the two people obviously saw me and took the machetes from their waists.
Out.
I hurriedly ran down the mountain. I ran so fast and was not tired. I found that my body had changed and became very strong, agile, flexible and solid.
I ran down the mountain and saw a dilapidated small village surrounded by farmland in front of me. Most of the small villages had thatched mud houses and bamboo houses. There were only two or three large houses with stone walls and tile roofs. There was a small river outside the village.
, only then did I feel the fresh air, the air
There is also the fragrance of grass and trees. This place is simply a paradise on earth! I can’t imagine that there is such a village in a modern society with serious pollution. Unless the geographical location is remote, a place like this will definitely be developed, so I
Where are you now?
With doubts in my mind, I walked to the edge of the farmland and saw a few old men and old women in traditional short clothes sitting on the rocks chatting. I was really confused about where I was now and why I saw so many people.
They are all wearing ancient costumes. Even if they are filming TV or movies, they don’t have to be so grand. They are running around in costumes? I don’t have much hope that I can escape anyway. Anyway, I can run away even if I am recognized. Let me ask first
Ask where this is.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw the old man and the old woman looking worried. They were mumbling about the tax increase and the food they grew was not enough to pay the tax. I was also surprised that those who farmed the land still had to pay the tax. This is
What kind of tax? The government has exempted all taxes for a long time, so what kind of tax do you still have to pay?
I walked up to them, smiled and let my facial features change slightly, and moved my brows with a smile so that others could not recognize me at once, and said: "Uncle, ladies, here is there, I am
I'm passing by and don't know where I am?"
A dark and thin old man stood up and said: "We are on the border of Guazhou. Did the young master escape from the north? Since you came from the north, do you know where the Manchu and Qing troops are now?"
I said: "Oh, Manchu, Manchu Army? What Manchu Army? Old man, is it 2012 now? Why is there a Manchu Army, and why are your clothes so weird?"
The old man and the old woman all stood up and surrounded me. One of the skinniest old men said: "My dear, are you going crazy with your heart? It's the second year of Hongguang's reign in the Ming Dynasty. Is your family in trouble? It's just you.
A person escaped alone? No wonder
Some people are talking nonsense, I'm sad, baby, these are troubled times, it's good if you can survive. Many people who fled from the north have either died or been separated from their families. Don't be sad!" The other old men said
The old ladies also tried to persuade me.
I was completely stunned. Did I fall into the time tunnel and come to ancient times like the protagonist in the fantasy novel? Did I fall into the era of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty?
It took me a long time to understand. After thanking the old man and the old women, I saw that no one had any intention of giving me anything to eat. So I left the entrance of the village and continued walking south. I had no money or food on me, and I was very hungry.
There was a ringing sound, and I patted my stomach, but I felt something was stuffed in my clothes, so I took it out. When I saw it, I saw a book called Internal Kung Collection and a book called Kung Fu Usage Collection. I strangely didn’t know which one it was.
Who gave it to me? It seems that my affairs are quite strange, but if I practice kung fu well, I will have the ability to survive in this troubled world.
I continued walking and saw the earthen city wall of a small town in front of me. I walked along the earthen city wall and entered when I saw a cave-in. The town was very small, probably not much bigger than the average village. It was estimated to have two
It is half a mile long and half a mile wide. In the center of the town, there is an avenue more than three meters wide from south to north. The other roads can be called small alleys.
The town is not very lively and there is not much business. There is a two-story small inn and restaurant called Juyoulou. Because it is the only small inn and restaurant in the town, there are still some people there.
I looked from outside the door. There were six tables with diners inside, and three tables were still empty. There were vegetables, meat, and fish on the tables with diners. There were three people sitting there, all dressed in silk clothes.
There was also a foot and a half long fat fish on the table of the guests. The fish was dripping with soup and was bright in color. It looked delicious. There was also a large piece of braised pork. I swallowed hard when I saw it. I remember
Don’t you like eating white meat? It seems that by the end of the Ming Dynasty, not only did your body become stronger, but your preference for food also changed.
The shopkeeper sitting at the counter of Juyoulou was worrying. It turned out that his brother-in-law had found a way to make a fortune. Unknown to him, his brother-in-law had hooked up with those who were selling illicit salt and was able to make some at a low price.
If the private salt is sold at a lower price than the official salt, his brother will use the large backyard behind his store as a delivery point, but in order to avoid leaks, he is asked to find some out-of-town workers to move the goods. When will the customers arrive?
Whenever you come here, you are in a hurry to move goods. Sometimes there are dozens of trucks! The refugees going south have already arrived in the wealthy areas of Jiangnan in the past few months. Now there are not many refugees passing by. Even if they pass by someone's house,
Where can people with a lot of money find out-of-town guys? It would be great if they had hooked up with those people who were doing illegal business in the past few months.
The shopkeeper sitting at the counter was worrying when he suddenly saw a young man wearing a cotton robe outside the door. He was tall and looked like a man with a lot of strength. He looked like he was in trouble. I wonder if he could do it all by himself.
No, if one person can do it, there is no need to find someone else.
Of course, the person the shopkeeper was interested in was me, who was drooling outside the door. The shopkeeper stood up and walked out of the door. When I saw the shopkeepers coming out, I turned around and left. I was afraid that others would kick me out. It would be embarrassing if I was kicked out.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and shouted: "Young people will stay here." I stopped and turned around and asked, "What are your orders, boss?" The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "My surname is Jin. I have a job and I wonder if you are willing to do it."
? Strength work, moving things." I immediately became energetic, patted my chest, and said: "I have nothing, I just have strength, what should I move? How much is the salary, and do I care about the food? You tell me."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately pulled me into the alley next to Juyou Building. After walking a few dozen steps, there was a door at a corner. The shopkeeper opened the door and pulled me in. Inside was a courtyard of more than 200 square meters.
On the high ground, a large shed of more than 100 square meters was built with bamboo. It was filled with sacks. The shed was also surrounded by soil molds about half a meter high. There was a small room next to it. The door of the room was open, and there were
The beds, tables, chairs, basins and other daily necessities seemed to be used by people.
The shopkeeper said: "Being a porter, you don't have to do other things. You only need half a penny a month to take care of food and accommodation. If you can do it all, I will give you two pence. Also, if you come in, you won't be allowed to go out."
, when you quit or I quit, can you go out and show me the goods for safekeeping, do you think you can do it?" I knew it was not a legitimate business at first glance, and I said: "What's in the sack?
"I won't do any work that is dangerous to me. I will do it if it is not dangerous to me." The shopkeeper said, "My dear, it's none of your business if something happens. Just say you don't know anything."
It's all my business. I'm not afraid if something happens to me. If I spend some money, I'll be fine." I immediately nodded in agreement.
The shopkeeper immediately locked the door and went out from the other door to a corridor. After passing the corridor was the small backyard of the kitchen of Juyou Building. After entering the kitchen, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to prepare a large bowl for me, which was probably for the guests.
There was a lot of meat left in the chowder that was poured together. They also prepared long steamed buns for five strong people. I immediately wolfed them down. The chowder was delicious, but there was a lot of meat in it.
There were a lot of fish bones. I picked out the big ones and bit into the small ones. I was so hungry. After a while, I had eaten five steamed buns and a large bowl of chowder. I was still hungry. I asked the shopkeeper for it. The shopkeeper was surprised.
I asked the waiter to prepare a large bowl of chowder and ten steamed buns. I finished them quickly. I was still hungry, so I asked the stunned shopkeeper for food. The shopkeeper asked the waiter to give me all the remaining chowder.
I scraped it out and brought ten steamed buns. I ate them all and was only about 80% full.
The shopkeeper pulled me and said, "I have never seen you eat like this. Can you do all that work by yourself? I will only hire you if you can do it, and you will only be provided with food and accommodation without any wages. But you can
If you finish it all, how about I feed you three times a day?"
I didn’t know why I could eat so much. It was more than ten times my original appetite. I immediately agreed and promised that I could do all the work by myself.
In this way, I lived here. At first, I moved three to two hundred sacks of salt every day. Later, the shopkeeper’s private salt business grew bigger and bigger. The number of sacks I moved every day reached thousands, and the number increased with time.
is still increasing.
I can carry more than 200 kilograms of sacks by myself, carrying three bags in one trip, and the speed is very fast. I can carry them back and forth at a trot. Even when impatient customers come, they never say they have to wait long.
Shopkeeper Jin was also happy and saw that I was doing a good job, so he immediately added a midnight snack to me, and there was more meat in my meal.
In fact, I had a lot of free time, so I worked hard to practice internal skills, mental methods and kung fu. Even when I was carrying goods, I would practice internal skills around the world.
My internal skills and kung fu practices are based on the harmony of yin and yang. I practice both hard skills and softness to overcome hardness. The scope is very broad. I can strike hard first, but also have the mystery of using points to attack the surface, using water to hit rocks, and then attacking. I was momentarily stunned.
They are all somewhat unable to practice. It is not until half a year later that the inner strength is small enough to be able to practice the mysterious skills. Now only practicing internal strength is very enjoyable. According to the book, a talented martial arts practitioner can only transfer eighty-one times of internal strength in one hour.
, but I have turned around for thousands of times, and every day I can feel that my internal strength is getting stronger. Moreover, for most people, only the lower Dantian is the largest storage point for internal energy, but I can store it in both the upper, middle and lower Dantian, which is very different from ordinary people.
same.
Since I'm not allowed to go out, I can practice without being disturbed, and I can also pass the boring time. But sometimes when I reach a bottleneck in my practice, I can't improve no matter how much I practice, and when I can't feel how to improve my state but it's really boring and noisy, I just
Before going to the restaurant, help the waiters and listen to the chats of the diners.
Through their chat, I learned that the main force of the Manchu and Qing armies was almost completely wiped out by a rebel army called the Chinese Army. Many places in Shandong and Henan had been occupied by armies led by rebels or Ming generals and Ming ministers who had nominally accepted the Nan Ming government.
The Dashun army in front wanted to take back Xi'an, but they were defeated by the 30,000 Qing troops who returned from Shanxi. Now there are less than 200,000 people, and most of them are strong men and women who have not experienced much fighting or training.
Families of young soldiers.
I don’t know the origin of the Chinese army that sounds very familiar and friendly. It is probably another modern person. I heard that they have monsters flying in the sky and firearms that can make the sky crack and the earth rain fire. It seems to be modern.
Weapons, anyway, are not products of this era, but people say that the Chinese Army is in China City in the world of Datong and does not come out, nor does it come out to grab territory. I don’t know what the leader of the Chinese Army thinks.
I am a small commoner, and I have no control over national affairs. I can only practice my martial arts, and then go out to look for opportunities. In my heart, I want to build my own power, unite with the Chinese army, promote Chinese civilization, and build a powerful country with the largest territory.dd
