Traveling through 1942 with space

After arranging the large livestock, Hou Xiaoge put all the poultry into the built livestock pen. Unexpectedly, after not coming in for a long time, he actually harvested more than a dozen chicken, duck and goose eggs.

Collect all the eggs this time, and then let these poultry live together. When the eggs are fertilized, let the poultry hatch them on their own, and most of them will not be collected.

There were suddenly more than a dozen chickens and ducks in the livestock pen. The chirping and quacking made the pen look a lot more lively, and it finally seemed to be getting a bit bigger.

Coming to the excavated foundation in front, Hou Xiaoge didn't plan to use it in the future, so he just used it to raise fish. The fish pond of more than ten square meters should yield a lot of harvest in the future.

With a move of mental power, heavy rain began to fall above the foundation pit. In just a few minutes, the nearly one-meter-deep foundation pit had been filled up for the most part.

In order to make these river fish grow better and faster, Hou Xiaoge injected several large buckets of spiritual spring water into them.

As the turtles and fish caught earlier were poured into the small pond, they immediately opened their mouths wide in the water and began to swallow and spit out the food.

Hou Xiaoge scattered some sorghum and fresh grass on the water surface, and big fish immediately began to fight for food in the water.

"We ordinary people are so happy today!" After feeding the livestock, Hou Xiaoge happily turned over watermelons and cantaloupes on the hillside.

The spiritual field planting area is good for crops. In a few days, the fruits have grown to the size of a fist. After waiting for another day or two, Hou Xiaoge will have more fruits than he can eat.

After turning over the fruits and vegetables, Hou Xiaoge took out a few plums, peaches and other fruits from the space, broke them open, and buried the cores on the hillside.

Compared with crops, fruit trees have a much longer growing period. Even if they grow twenty times faster in space, it still takes at least three or four months to bloom and bear fruit.

Hou Xiaoge took a few bites of the fruit, and the taste was relatively bland, sweet with a hint of sourness. It was incomparable to the fruit varieties of later generations.

"This fruit variety is not good. The taste is terrible. It seems that it will need to be improved in the future." Hou Xiaoge said to himself.

After getting used to eating modern fruits, the taste of fruits of this era is really average. However, Hou Xiaoge didn't dislike them. He ate some and stored the rest in the warehouse to eat later.

Humans are the fastest to adapt to the environment in nature. Hou Xiaoge didn't even realize that while eating the sour plums, he had completely integrated into this era in less than half a month.

Feeling that it was about time, Hou Xiaoge took out the muskets seized a few days ago from the warehouse.

Hou Xiaoge was very excited when he first received the musket a few days ago. After all, there was another Chinese man who didn't like guns.

But when he was taking revenge that day, the stone was so powerful that it actually smashed the wooden butt of the gun, making it unusable for the time being and becoming just a firewood stick.

But even if it is useful, it will not be of much use to Hou Xiaoge, because this thing only has three bullets left, so how can he play it?

But the good thing is that the barrel of this musket is intact, and it can be a good gun again by just making a new wooden gun frame.

"If this thing is still in good condition, it can scare people when I take it out. I'll go out and ask my uncle if there is a craftsman in the village who can make a wooden gun body." After playing with the rifle for a while, Hou Xiaoge left the space with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

When I came out of the space, it was already dark outside and the gunfire from the city wall had stopped long ago. It seemed that this peasant reunification movement should be over.

As Hou Xiaoge passed by, he learned from the refugees who were still talking nearby that the county magistrate had personally persuaded the refugees to return, and had promised to sell a batch of low-priced grain tomorrow.

It was the county magistrate's promise to sell grain at a low price that calmed the people's anger. After all, everyone fled just to survive, and who would dare to go against the government!

After finding out the reason, Hou Xiaoge curled his lips and sneered when he heard the words of the nearby refugees.

If the county magistrate is really so kind, Hou Xiaoge decided not to go to Qin Province, but to celebrate the New Year there and wait for a better life to come.

There is no grain in the county. The grain is all in the hands of the rich. These rich people are not idle and have nothing better to do, so they give the grain to the ordinary people for free.

I carefully returned to the camp and saw the family sitting together and chatting. They could hear laughter from time to time, which made Hou Xiaoge feel a little warm in his heart.

"Second brother, why are you laughing so happily? I think you have the biggest mouth." Hou Xiaoge walked up to his cousin Erhuan, sat down, put his arm around his shoulders and asked with a smile.

"Hehe! Nothing much, it's just that my little sisters and the others are back and we're all chatting and talking about the past things back home." Erhuan said enthusiastically when he saw Hou Xiaoge coming back.

"Ok!"

Hou Xiaoge had no memory of his original self and it was difficult to talk about it, so he could only sit aside and listen quietly to a group of women chattering and laughing. This made Hou Xiaoge admire their objective spirit of finding joy in adversity.

It was completely dark, and there was no firewood to start a fire, so everyone went back to sleep.

"Uncle, I want to tell you something." Hou Xiaoge quietly walked up to his uncle and spoke carefully.

Hou Yangmin, who had been lying down, looked at Hou Xiaoge's mysterious look and sat up directly.

"What do you want so late at night?" Hou Yangmin asked with a puzzled look.

"Uncle, I dug out a musket from a pile of dirt when I went to the toilet. The wooden handle was broken. I wanted to ask you if there is anyone in our village who can repair it." Hou Xiaoge made up a story.

"What, you got a rifle? Where is it? Let me see." Hou Yangmin suddenly became excited.

"I secretly hid it in the wheelbarrow when I just came back. Uncle, it's dark now, do you want to see it?" Hou Xiaoge was stunned and replied.

"It's dark now so no one will notice it. I'll take a look and see what's broken. If it's just the wooden stock, I'll go find your second uncle in the village. He knows a little carpentry and has helped the hunters in the village repair guns before. He should be able to fix it.

Now we are fleeing, we can't do without weapons, if the guns are repaired, we will be much safer in the future." Hou Yangmin said excitedly.

Hou Xiaoge saw that his uncle was also a gun lover, so he walked carefully to the wheelbarrow, took out his rifle and quietly took it over.

"Zizizi, Heiwa, this is a good gun! I thought it was a hand-rolled hunting rifle, but it turned out to be an old slide.

The barrel and spring are all good, but the buttstock is cracked, which is not a big problem." Hou Yangmin took the musket and checked it, saying excitedly.

Hou Xiaoge was not a military enthusiast in his previous life, nor had he seen a gun, but he had seen the old-sleeve gun on TV.

Although the name of the old sleeve is a bit lame, it is the predecessor of the famous Hanyang-made during the Anti-Japanese War. It is manufactured using an imported production line, so the quality is impeccable.

"Okay then, uncle will give you this gun. It will help you protect everyone better in the future." Hou Xiaoge smiled and did not ask for the rifle back. Instead, he gave it to his uncle generously.

"My boy, you are finally generous this time.

By the way, I forgot to tell you that you must not exchange the gold ring that is left over from yesterday privately!

When you change, call me or you two to come with you. A child like you is easy to be targeted, understand?" Hou Yangmin put down his gun and reminded Hou Xiaoge as he watched him prepare to go back.

"I understand, but I don't know how to use this gold ring. When our family needs it urgently, just tell me and I'll take it out." In the dark night, Hou Xiaoge turned his head to look at his uncle Hou Yangmin and said in a low voice.

"Right! You are a sensible kid." Hou Yangmin nodded in response.
