Attack after the end of the Sui Dynasty

Wang Da helped Lin Tong rent a total of two rooms in Wang Liang's house at a monthly rent of [-] yuan.One is used as a storage and study room, and the other is the residence of the three of them. The kitchen is borrowed from Wang Liang's house.The house is made of mud bricks, and there are not many damaged places. It can be moved in with a little repair.The room has a couch and a low table.Seeing that winter was coming, Lin Tong bought three more sets of bedding, and asked the lady of the Wang family to make some winter clothes.

On the second day after Lin Tong moved in, he bought food in a big way in the village, and also collected surplus food from other nearby villages. Fortunately, he had enough money, so he spent almost all of it.Lin Tong didn't put all the harvested grain at home, but went to the wasteland behind the village to dig a simple grain cellar in his free time.He hid the extra food in it, of course, when he did this, he went there in the middle of the night.

Thanks to Lin Tong's immense strength now, he dug a deep hole in half a night.No wonder he is so careful, knowing that troubled times will come, when food is the most valuable thing, and one ration is one life.

If Lin Tong was alone, he probably wouldn't make any food reserves at all, but went directly to Li Tang's house.But now that he has Lin Nan by his side, he has to think about Lin Nan.His life is not his own, and it is impossible for Lin Tong to think about his life.

After finishing these trivial matters, Lin Tong entrusted Mr. Wang to find Wang Cheng.Wang Cheng usually doesn't have much contact with the villagers. His home is at the far west of the village. There are three mud-tiled houses with a lot of leather in the yard, dried meat hanging outside the house, and some nuts picked in the mountains.When Lin Tong and the others went, Wang Cheng was grinding noodles there.This Wang Cheng didn't look very old, he was in his 30s at most, the muscles on his arms were bulging, and his body looked strong and strong.He is not tall, with a dark complexion, unshaven beard, a little messy combed hair, a pair of round eyes with piercing eyes, and he walks in a hurry.

When Mr. Wang explained his intentions in the future, Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Tong.Bai Shengsheng had a small face, his hands were callous-free, thin and tender, and he didn't seem to be able to work in every move.Although his stature looked good, he was only about fifteen or sixteen, so he frowned immediately, "No way!" He said, and pushed Lin Tong and the others out.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Cheng went out the next day, he saw Lin Tong waiting outside his house, and when he saw Wang Cheng going out, he followed closely, rushing to do any heavy work that the other party had.Lin Tong made up his mind to get the other party to agree, so he entrusted the two younger ones to Mr. Wang's house early in the morning. After giving him a day's meal money, he came out to pester Wang Cheng with a few black-faced pancakes. up.

After pestering him for several days, Wang Cheng found that the other party was not the kind of young master who had never suffered a lot, and he worked very hard.What impressed Wang Cheng the most was Lin Tong's strength, which was really amazing.Wang Cheng watched it secretly, and the stones weighing hundreds of catties were easily moved away without even being out of breath.

Sometimes Lin Nan stayed in Wang's house for a long time, and would run out to look for Lin Tong.The first time Wang Cheng saw Lin Nan, his eyes were straightened. He lost his son, and every time he saw someone else's son, he was very envious.Lin Nan looks so delicate and pleasing, it has to be said that he just scratched the only soft spot in Wang Cheng's heart.

Lin Tong saw Wang Cheng staring at his son eagerly, with such a strange look that he wished he could take him away from the Tibetan family and never return him.

Lin Nan stayed in the Wang family for so long, and he didn't speak to the children of the Wang family a few times.He doesn't understand the fun of the other party, and the other party doesn't know what to say to him.There are no idlers in the Wang family, the boys will go to the fields to help with the work, the older girls will also cook and weave, and the younger ones will also feed chickens, cut grass and herd sheep.Lin Nan watched them work blankly every day, and wanted to help, but the wife of the Wang family came up to stop them. After all, Lin Nan was a guest, and Lin Tong gave them money and rations. How could they let their children go to work.

As for the boy Lin Tong took in, Chen Xian, he wanted to have a good relationship with Lin Nan, but unfortunately he didn't know how to coax children at all. Although he had a younger sister before, that younger sister was also brought by his mother. It was sold.I can only follow Lin Nan closely every day, and become a large follower.

Wang Cheng sighed, and once again rejected Lin Tong forcefully, and also earned himself a sad little look from Lin Nan by the way.Lin Nan didn't know much, he only knew that his father was begging for help, but the bearded man always refused.The child's heart was extremely uncomfortable, and the little face that looked at Wang Cheng every day became more and more wrinkled, and Wang Cheng's heart was as soft as cotton when he looked straight at it.

Why does this kid look so attractive?Wang Cheng's eyes were hot, and he thought about how to reach out to hug him. While Lin Tong went to help him carry water, he took out a piece of dried venison from the house, and stuffed it into Lin Nan's arms indiscriminately.Then he hurriedly turned around and ran away, his left foot almost caught his right foot when he walked.

Lin Nan held the dried meat, smelled it, and then carefully put it away, preparing to leave it to her father.He has fully felt the preciousness of food these days in ancient times.Now he eats white flour steamed cakes for every meal, which the landlords in the village are reluctant to eat. One egg and one plate of vegetables a day, and Lin Tong will get him some meat every few days.He didn't know this at the beginning, or Chen Xian secretly told him in private.Lin Nan also sneaked a look at the dry food that Lin Tong brought with him every day, which consisted of black flour pancakes and a few vegetable dumplings.The little guy wanted to secretly exchange dry food with his father, but when Lin Tong found out, he taught him a lesson.Now Lin Tong's biggest motivation in ancient times was Lin Nan. He wanted to protect his son wholeheartedly. If Lin Nan fell ill because of food, it would almost kill Lin Tong.

"Father, jerky." Seeing Lin Tong returning with two buckets of water, Lin Nan hurried to the front and handed the jerky as if offering a treasure.Lin Tong looked at the dried meat in Lin Nan's hand, and then at the pile of dried meat hanging outside the house. He knew that his son would not take other people's things casually, so this thing was given by Wang Cheng.Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Tong's mouth rose slightly.Kneeling down, he took the jerky in Lin Nan's hand, and said in a low voice, "Quick, thank that Uncle Wang in the room."

Lin Nan wrinkled his face, and took the things from others. Naturally, he wanted to thank him. The teacher of this kindergarten also taught him, but that person treated his father badly. Lin Nan twisted his body and reluctantly walked to There is the door.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." After shouting loudly into the room, he ran to Lin Tong's side with a look on his face that the task had been completed.

After a while, I saw Wang Cheng coming out with a coarse cloth bag, blushing and saying, "Give the pine nuts in this bag to your dolls." After all, the Lin family boy also helped him with the work for a few days , It should be something to eat, Wang Cheng comforted himself in this way.

Lin Tong thanked Wang Cheng with a smile, and led Lin Nan back home.The little guy was held by his father, kicking and walking along the way, not saying he was tired, not being coquettish, following quietly, looking up at his father from time to time, silently thinking in his heart that it would be better to stay like this, not to go back up.

In Lin Nan's heart, although he has eaten poorly these days, no one bullies him, and his mother will not criticize him. The most important thing is that he can be with his father every day.Sleeping and eating together at night, his father would tell him bedtime stories every day, and he could spend his time with his father during the day, which was an unimaginable happiness for Lin Nan in the past.

When Lin Tong and the others returned home, Chen Xian had already prepared dinner diligently.This is what he requested on his own initiative. He always went to the Wang family for dinner, and even the clothes were washed by Wang's sister-in-law. There was almost no work to do at home. Mr. Chen was free every day, and he felt that he couldn't eat plain rice. He wanted to do something, dinner is one of them.This dinner is very simple to say, just make a few pancakes with mixed noodles, add some wild vegetables with hot water, and mix with some salt. This is already a very good meal, and sometimes I make noodle soup.

After pestering for about ten days, Wang Cheng finally compromised between Lin Tong's insistence and Lin Nan's soft-spoken entreaties, taught Lin Tong some simple moves, and planned to take Lin Tong up the mountain after a while, and let him learn them How to be a hunter.

"Be careful of your step. Don't lean against that tree. The tree is empty inside." Wang Cheng reminded Lin Tong as he walked that this trail was his way up the mountain. Cheng has been walking this road for many years, and he knows exactly where there are pits, stones, loose soil, and many snakes and insects.Normally, he walks alone very easily, but now that he is following Lin Tong, he has to remind him constantly, lest the kid miss his foot and fall.

Lin Tong didn't expect that just going up the mountain would be so troublesome.He has also climbed mountains in modern times, but his so-called mountain climbing is all on the roads repaired by the predecessors, and there are things like iron chain handrails in places that are too steep.Nowadays, in ancient times, no one would build this mountain road, let alone this is not a famous mountain.One morning passed, Lin Tong's body was covered with leaves, grass juice, and some insects got in from his neck. Along the way, he always felt that his back was itchy. I didn't scratch my hands, sweating profusely.

After finally staying up until noon to rest, the first thing Lin Tong did was to take off his clothes and shake desperately for a long time, then he scratched his back hard.Wang Cheng, however, sat there calmly and gnawed dry food. Seeing that Lin Tong's snow-white skin was instantly scratched red and white, and the bloodstains made the snowy back look like a punishment, he suddenly felt Feeling a little guilty, after hesitating for a long time, he threw a small wooden bottle to Lin Tong, coughed twice and said: "This is a medicine to repel insects, apply it later. You eat first, and I will go and see how the traps are doing." .”

When Lin Tong heard this, he didn't care about eating and followed Wang Cheng directly.Originally, he came to learn how to hunt and what kind of traps, so he had to learn how to use them.

Wang Cheng's traps were not set in the deep mountains. There were so many carnivorous beasts in the deep mountains. If some prey were really trapped, they might have been eaten up before he arrived.The reason why it is set up here is because there are few ferocious beasts here, and it is also convenient for him to check the traps from time to time. Of course, the traps should not be set in places where people often pass by, or it will harm people.

This time Wang Cheng's luck was not so good, he found only one hare in the three traps, threw the hare into the basket, and said, "This rabbit is the dinner tonight."

Although Lin Tong was not good at walking on mountain roads, he had good physical strength. When Wang Cheng decided to take a rest, this guy was still wandering around looking around.Along the way, Wang Cheng taught him a lot, such as what mushrooms to eat, where to find wild vegetables, what herbs to use, and how to avoid snakes.

"Brother Wang, did you build this little hut yourself?" The hut in front of you is not big, it's just a wooden frame, covered with a thick straw mat, it's enough to keep out the wind and rain.Lin Tong was already prepared to sleep in the mountains, but he didn't expect to have a small thatched hut to live in.Wang Cheng built several such houses on the mountain, just for the convenience of hunting in the mountains. Sometimes there are too many prey, these houses can also be used as storage points.

The mountain forest was really too humid, and the straw mat in the house was also damp. Lin Tong lay there and felt a chill gushing out from the ground and penetrating into his body, making him feel wet and cold.Wang Cheng didn't have this trouble. His straw mat was placed on the extinguished fire, and it didn't take long for it to dry, and there was still some heat. It was much more comfortable to sleep on than Lin Tong's.
