Fireworks are setting off in the village, the morning light is still dim.

The next morning, Zhishou woke up to the sweet aroma of rice.

He slowed his breathing, closed his eyes, and listened carefully to the sounds nearby.

There were footsteps approaching outside the house, and a child's voice rang out in the courtyard, "Grandpa, why hasn't the person in the house woken up yet?"

"It's almost time, Gouzi, bring this porridge in and feed him."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go right away."

The door made a heavy push and pull sound, and a child came into the room carrying a bowl of porridge.

He placed the bowl of porridge on the bedside table and tiptoed over to Zhishou.

"call……"

The child was naughty and blew the tightly closed eyelashes of the man on the bed.

Uh……

I didn’t brush my teeth, they stink!

Shishou couldn't hold it in any longer and snapped his eyes open.

"Hey, are you awake?"

The little boy happily fell on top of Zhishou and accidentally pressed the scratch on his chest.

"hiss……"

"Ah! What's wrong with you? Are you going to die? I'll go call grandpa."

The child ran out of the house in a panic, "Grandpa, the man is awake, but he's dying! Grandpa, come quickly~"

Shishou grimaced and touched his chest, then sat up in pain, half leaning against the earthen wall.

The unique sweet smell of rice porridge spread to his nose, making him swallow his saliva.

To make it look more realistic, he hasn't eaten for almost two days.

Gurgle, gurgle, my stomach is protesting.

How about eating something first?

He stretched out his hand and was about to pick up the porridge, but he heard a burst of busy footsteps outside the door.

He quickly withdrew his right hand, relaxed his body, and acted weak.

"Young man, are you awake? We'll get you out right away."

"No! Ah...don't. Thank you for saving my life, old man. I will repay you."

Zhishou was anxious. He had just gotten in, how could he be sent away? He waved his hands and smiled naively, "Old man, Shou is very strong and can help with some farm work. Please let me do some work. I will repay you a little and then I will feel at ease."

"I need your help wherever you are!"

The old village chief, supported by the burly man beside him, sat on the edge of the bed. Half panting, he said slowly, "Your name is Shou? But I haven't seen you in the nearby villages."

"I just arrived and this is my first time in the mountains. I unexpectedly encountered a wild beast and got lost while trying to escape. Luckily you rescued me."

No one responded to his words.

Everyone looked at Zhishou warily, as if to keep away from strangers.

Zhishou was not surprised at all. He had already thought of countless possibilities before coming here. It was normal for a secluded village to exclude outsiders.

"Old man, please let me stay for a few days. I will leave after I finish my work."

Seeing his earnest words, the old village chief frowned and thought, "If you leave without any news, won't your family be worried?"

"To be honest..."

Zhishou lowered his eyelids, his face pale, and he sighed sadly, "After years of fighting, my family was killed by Qin soldiers, and I am the only one left alive in this world."

He spoke sadly, but the strong man in shorts behind the old village chief seemed impatient and stood up, "Don't be sad, our village is secluded here to avoid the disaster of Qin."

"Ahem!" The old village chief coughed twice to interrupt the man's words, and then looked at Zhishou with a softened expression, "Then Shou will recuperate here first and leave after he is healed."

The man realized that he had said something wrong and shrank back out of the house.

Zhishou took all of this in without showing any emotion, but his face was filled with excitement as he kept thanking the old village chief.

"Thank you, old man. Hunting doesn't eat much, so I'll definitely work hard."

"Take good care of it first, and call me if you need anything."

Waving his hand, the old village chief walked out with a few people, staggering.

The little boy stayed at the end, turned his head and smiled foolishly at Zhishou, "My name is Gouzi, call me if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you, Gouzi."

The crowd went away, and Zhishou could finally relax. He picked up the porridge and drank it all in one gulp, but he was thinking about his next move in his mind.

He still had to bring in paper and pen. There were too many people and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to remember everyone's facial details.

When planning, one must have far-reaching ambitions, and when upholding one's principles, one must be steadfast and complete.

Zhishou racked his brains in the mountains to collect information.

In Langya County, Su Jinyue and his companions, who had finally waited for Xu Fu, were about to embark on the next journey.

In the garden of the county magistrate's mansion, Su Jinyue was circling around a pile of ancient-looking utensils on the ground.

"Is this the furnace you use to make the elixir?"

Xu Fu, who was waiting at the side with his back bent, took two quick steps forward and replied with a smile, "Yes, Master Imperial Master, these are all modified by the common people according to the tradition."

Su Jinyue looked at the other person with appreciation.

Otherwise, he could be the best fraudster. Just look at the appearance of the elementary stove and the cauldron which is similar to a pressure cooker.

tsk tsk~

It’s good to have a brain, it will definitely help you get twice the result with half the effort!

"Go to Xianyang first and enter the Shaofu directly. Work hard and make some achievements in the future. I will personally ask for an official position for you."

Xu Fu knelt on the ground with his eyes shining, "I will work hard and live up to the great grace of the Imperial Master."

This is really a new hope.

In just a few days, Xu Fu went from being full of ambition to escaping death, and now he was even appreciated by the Grand Master of the Imperial Household, who personally promised to seek an official position for him.

He will definitely do a good job.

I really wish I could fly to the Shaozu Mansion in Xianyang right now and show my skills.

"Dan, go get ten gold cakes for Xu Fu. If there are any materials you need, buy them all together and bring them to Xianyang."

Hearing this, Xu Fu's mood surged even more, and he thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Master Imperial Master. Fu will purchase all the supplies as soon as possible and try to rush to Xianyang as soon as possible."

Su Jinyue waved her hand and looked at the ox-horse with satisfaction.

Good, very positive.

I believe gunpowder will be available soon.

Thinking of this, she remembered what County Magistrate Li said about the canned food.

She left everyone behind and walked towards the lobby.

The flowers are in full bloom and the light waves are like a dream.

Su Jinyue walked quickly along the winding bluestone path.

Outside the moon cave gate, several young men with noble bearing were walking towards them with books in their hands.

A breeze blew by, and the clothes fluttered. Young Master Yunrui, who was in the lead, was the first to discover Su Jinyue and the others.

"Minor official, I pay my respects to the Grand Master."

"Get up, what are you going to do?"

Yunrui and the others stood up and lined up in front of Su Jinyue in an orderly manner.

"Your Excellency, the clerk and my brothers are about to go to the side hall to listen to Master Zhou's lecture."

It was Yunduan who replied again, and Su Jinyue nodded to show that she understood.

Zhou Shu was the youngest among the Four Haos of Shangshan. He accompanied Fusu on this tour and taught all the way. Every time he arrived at a place, he would give several lectures for local students to study.

Zong Zhi is a handsome and elegant young man, as bright as a jade tree standing in the wind.

Su Jinyue looked at the small poplar trees in front of her with admiration.

Yes, all are very good.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and I had the idea of ​​matchmaking people together.

Dan, Gui, Lu Zhi and several other sisters around her are all talented men and beautiful women, and she can even get close to them to ship them as a couple.

This is possible~ Hehe...

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became.

Let her compare them carefully and see who looks like a couple.

As a result, when she looked behind her with shining eyes.

Eh? What's going on?
