Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Xu Xuehua woke up with waves of hunger, and her stomach made a series of rumbling sounds. Looking at the pitch-black scene in front of her, she could hear the noisy sounds of men, women, and children sleeping in the wilderness. She touched the tattered mat under her body, and something was wrong. Wasn't she in the rental house? How did she get here? Suddenly she remembered that she was infected with a fever by Xiao Yangren while at work, and she was confused and lay in bed for a long time. She couldn't go out to buy medicine, and she was afraid of infecting others. She wondered if the novels and TV shows she had watched before had traveled through time! Looking at the dark moonlight with a little light, she stretched out her hand and looked at her hand that looked like a chicken claw, dark and thin without any flesh. This is not my hand. Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I touched my hand under my body. There was two taels of extra flesh, and I couldn't come back to my senses. After lying there for a long time, I realized that it didn't matter whether it was a man or a woman. As long as I could live, it would be fine. It was impossible to die again. And I might not be able to go back. Let's take it one step at a time. It was impossible to become a man before, but now I can experience it.

I recalled who this person was and how he appeared here. I used the method of cultivating immortals in novels to concentrate my attention and recall it in my mind. Suddenly, many scenes emerged. In the broken memory, this boy was only 12 years old. He was born when the Qing Dynasty fell. At that time, there were grandparents, parents and brothers in the family. The conditions were just enough to make ends meet. There were only 1 acres of land, which was much better than ordinary people. Unfortunately, Xiao Rizi invaded and there were all kinds of chaos and natural disasters. When the villagers heard that the second devils were coming to sweep the village, they were ready to escape. My grandparents took the family to escape and met Xiao Rizi and the second devils robbing food halfway. My grandfather was shot dead. My grandmother was so frightened that she couldn't breathe and died. My parents took my three brothers and ran into the mountains and forests to hide, so we avoided escaping. Now I am running away with others and have been running north for four days.

Knowing the situation, he ran to this era with a very ugly face. It is not easy to survive at this time. There are wars everywhere. People live in various places. I know his name is Yan Lao San. I don’t know. It’s too cold at night. My eyes are too sleepy. I’m hungry. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Soon after dawn, someone pushed him. "Yan Lao San, wake up, we should go." I opened my eyes in confusion and looked at the old man in front of me. It was my father. I said, "Okay, I know, I'll get up right away."

I watched everyone pack up and prepare to leave. I was silent too. There was nothing to pack up except a torn straw mat. I was so hungry. I hadn’t eaten anything in the morning, and I had nothing to eat. I ate grass, tree bark, and wild vegetables along the way these days. Someone handed me a handful of wild vegetables and said, “Eat it, and we’ll leave quickly after we finish eating.” An old woman was my mother. “Big brother, big brother, hurry up and pack up and leave, the Japanese are coming.”

There were refugees all along the road, some of whom collapsed halfway through the journey. There were corpses along the way, some as thin as mummies. I was so distressed by what I saw that I could no longer care about myself.

"Oh no, the Japanese are coming, run quickly." Suddenly, a noise came from behind.

Dad pulled me, my older brother and my second brother, and mom ran out of the road. We ran into the woods. I ran with no strength left in my body, but I didn't dare to stop or look back. I had never experienced that kind of era before. I had only seen it in documentaries.

The Japanese started to attack us, 20 to 30 of them started to surround us. They started to shoot with guns. There were screams coming from behind, it was so scary, my feet kept shaking. Suddenly my mother tripped over a branch and fell, my father rushed over to help her up. He said, "You three should not stop, run as fast as you can, you must leave a descendant for the Yan family!"

"Mom and Dad, please leave quickly. We will definitely survive." The eldest brother wiped his sweaty face.

"Big brother, take the two little ones and run quickly. Your mother and I will block the way behind you, otherwise you can't move." The skinny old man pushed them forward, listening to the voices coming from behind. The thin old woman said excitedly, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, run to the north, that's where the emperor lives, it's safer than here." They didn't have time to look back.

We could only keep running forward, and we could hear the voices of the Japanese soldiers and the sound of gunfire from behind. Tears were streaming down my face unconsciously.

We ate tree bark and wild vegetables along the way. We didn't know how far we would go, we only knew that we would go further and further.

"Old Three, take a break." Boss Yan sat on a rock, unable to move. I couldn't move either, and collapsed on the ground. Looking at the gray weather, I felt hungry. I have been hungry since I came here. Why didn't you give me a golden finger? Giving me something to eat would be fine.

"Brother, I saw a village ahead." The second brother ran over excitedly.

The eldest brother stood up and walked to see if there was anything to eat. He was so hungry.

Looking at the village in front of me, there was no sign of human life, and it was terribly quiet. The houses on both sides of the path were all made of mud bricks and thatched roofs, and they were tattered. Some of them didn't even have their doors closed. "Brother, let's split up and look for something useful or food." I said, "I guess there's no one left in this village."

Everyone went their separate ways to look for food. I went to the nearest yard, the door was half closed. The yard was empty. There were only some broken firewood, branches and a large water tank. On the left was half of the kitchen, and I could see that there was nothing inside. I walked in and saw that there were only pots, pans, bottles and jars, some of which were chipped. There was a cupboard with nothing in it, and a large iron pot on the stove. This was more valuable. I touched the large iron pot and thought it would be nice if I could take it with me, but suddenly. The large iron pot disappeared. I was thinking if it was the portable space. Is the golden finger here?

"Go, go, go" I went into the space in my imagination, and suddenly my eyes blurred and I disappeared. My own home suddenly appeared in front of me, and there was still the big iron pot in the middle of the living room. I returned to my home, and excitedly ran to the door to open it, but I couldn't open it no matter what I did. My emotions stabilized, and I could only move around in the room, and I couldn't open it from the outside. I walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. I bought a lot of food during the epidemic. Looking at the full refrigerator of refrigerated vegetables, fruits, bread, milk and various foods, I excitedly took a piece of bread and ate it in two or three bites. This body has been hungry for a long time, and I haven't eaten too much since I came out. I took a bottle of milk and drank it all, and I felt much better. I thought about it and decided to go out first. Otherwise, if it takes too long, others will find out. I concentrated and went out at once. The whole person appeared in the kitchen.

I looked in the kitchen to see if there was anything I could use, and put it away. The iron shovel was quite large, matching the big iron pot, and I picked out a few bowls and plates with patterns, large bowls, which looked like antiques. They had been passed down for several generations. I didn't have the education to tell if the antiques were real, so I put them away in my space first, and went out to the left and right wing rooms to check. I searched everywhere, but there was nothing there, only the large water tank in the yard was useful.

I stepped out of the road to see where the two of them had gone, and heard a voice coming from the front. I walked over.

I saw a relatively new yard with an open gate. I slowly approached it and walked in to see some farm things in the yard. There was a persimmon tree nearby. It was already winter and there were not many leaves on it. There were a few persimmons hanging on it. I heard my eldest brother's voice coming from a wing room on the right.

"Brother, we don't find much food here. There are only a dozen potatoes and sweet potatoes in the cellar. The three of us can only eat for two days."

"Second brother, there are only about ten households in this village, and they have all left. There is nothing to eat."

"We don't have to eat for five days. Don't worry about the bastard third child. My parents don't know where they got him from."

Boss Yan hesitated and said, "It's not a good idea for us to do this! Our parents love our third son very much. If they knew about this, they would definitely beat us to death."

"We can't just starve to death. Let's sneak away and leave him here. Maybe he can find something to eat."

My mind went blank after hearing that. The only thing I knew was to hide. I ran out and hid in the pile of thatch next to me.

I fell asleep without realizing it, and I don't know how much time has passed. It was dark, and it was quiet outside. I remembered what I heard during the day, that I was adopted by someone else. In my memory, the couple and grandparents were very kind to him, and never treated him badly. They always gave priority to food and clothing. Maybe that was why there was a gap between the two brothers.

Suddenly I remembered that I had been wearing a jade pendant since I was a child, hanging around my neck. I opened my clothes and saw a red string hanging around my neck. Below it was a red blood jade with a Qilin carved on it. On the back was a strange rune. This might be very important to my life experience. I took it off and put it in my personal space. In the closet in the bedroom.

I thought, they probably left now. I'll come out in the morning and eat something in the space. I'll check and sort out the supplies. There's not much food, just a refrigerator. Two bags of 10-liter rice, two boxes of instant noodles, four bags of noodles, two barrels of soybean oil, four bags of salt, and the water and electricity inside are still working. There will be no shortage of water in the future, and I must boil it to drink.

At daybreak, I slowly crawled out, looked at the house next door, walked in, and listened to the window for a while, but there was no sound.

They collected some farm tools and iron pots from the ten or so houses in the village. The ironware can still be sold, and they are valuable items. Some of the food inside was gone. It is estimated that they were also taken away by some people before.

It's no wonder that the two brothers left him behind. He now has his own space and can support himself. He listened to his adoptive parents and fled north, deciding to go to Beijing. Settling in Beijing would be good for future development. It would be best to buy a few houses, as they would have great room for appreciation in the future.
