Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now Xiao Hecao is seven years old. Although he is still a child, he is very different from two years ago.

Some people say that one is full of poetry and calligraphy, and this sentence is aptly applied to Xiao Hecao. After more than two years of study, Xiao Hecao not only read all the books in the Liu Family School, but also I also read through all the medicine books that Liu Shun brought from home.

Moreover, the books that Xiao Hecao has read are not just simple reading. He has almost written all the books silently. This is not something ordinary people can do, let alone a child, even an adult. Even he couldn't do it, but Xiao Hecao did it. In the past two years, except for the occasional return home, almost all his time was spent on studying. He was like a measuring sponge, and that knowledge was Like water, he desperately sucked the knowledge into his body and made it a part of his body.

I don’t know how many pens Xiao Hecao has used in the past two years. The paper he has written on can fill a room. Seeing Xiao Hecao working so hard, Tian Niu and Lao Menzi were happy and distressed at the same time.

Although Xiao Hecao is still a child now, when he stands in front of others, he always gives people the feeling of being well-read in poetry and books, gentle and wise. Such a feeling appears in a child, which is really a bit strange. strangeness.

But Xiaohecao is indeed very strange. Not only does his writing get better and better, but he also teaches himself painting skills and draws all the medicine books of Liu Shun's family.

Now Xiao Hecao no longer goes to school. He only goes to school occasionally. He only goes to see Yushu and Yufeng and discuss knowledge with them. Yushu and Yufeng have nothing to teach him. .

This is also a major drawback in the Soul World. They emphasize martial arts over literature. Learning literature is not taken seriously in the Soul World. Except for some useful things, such as poems and articles, they are not taken seriously here, because people think that they are useless things, and there is no shame in learning them. Even here, the upper class people will think that they are useless. It was learned by the lower class. If they learn it, they will really have status.

If something is good at the top, it will be bad at the bottom. No one at the top likes those things, and naturally no one at the bottom will learn or study it. Then naturally there can be no development.

Most of the books that Xiao Hecao read were history books, miscellaneous notes, and the like, and some were about family rules or business matters, but there were very few other books.

But even these things are very rare. Most of the books sold in bookstores outside are history books and miscellaneous notes, and there are very few other things.

Xiaohecao has used too much paper in the past two years. Even as Tian Niu, he cannot afford to supply Xiaohecao. Fortunately, the old disciple is here to provide the paper that Xiaohecao has used in the past two years. Most of them are provided by Lao Menzi.

Tian Niu officially became a servant of the Liu family a year ago, but he has not been transferred and is still guarding the Liu family's old store. The Liu family's old store has also been expanded under Tian Niu's management. Now It is at least twice as big as before, and it can be regarded as part of the Liu family's property. In addition, Tian Niu managed the Liu family's old store very well, so the Liu family did not transfer him.

However, the old disciple was transferred away. Just when Tian Niu officially became a servant of the Liu family, the old disciple was transferred back to the Liu family. He became a general manager of the Liu family's outer courtyard and had more power than before.

It is precisely because the old disciple has become more powerful that all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones used by Xiao Hecao in the past two years were provided by the old disciple, which also saved Tian Niu a lot of money.

It was the midsummer of the year again. On this day, Tiantian Niu had harnessed the cart and let Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er sit on the cart. He drove the cart out and said to the two little guys as he walked: "Bao'er, Yu'er, when you two go to see your grandpa this time, you must be obedient and don't make trouble for your grandpa, do you hear me?"

Tian Niu was about to send Xiao Hecao and Yu'er to see his old disciple. The old disciple was transferred back to his hometown by the Liu family, which was Juyun City. Juyun City was quite far away from Lvcui City. He had to go to Juyun City. It is not easy to get to the city. If you go by land, it will take at least a month. If you go by water, it will take about ten days.

It has been a year since the old man returned to the Liu family. He wrote to Tian Niu a few days ago, saying that he wanted to meet Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er. The old man is old. Although he is in good health, he has no children around him. Without anyone to talk to, I always feel lonely. Naturally, I miss Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er even more.

It just so happened that a batch of medicinal materials were recently transported to Juyun City from Green Green City, and the ship transporting the medicinal materials also belonged to the Liu family. The person in charge was Liu Shun's father. Liu Shun also officially came under his control a year ago. Tian Niu wanted to let Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er go to Juyun City to see their old disciples, and they would go with Liu Shun and his father by boat. He can rest assured that after Xiaohecao comes back, he will be able to go to Pharmacist Sang to learn pharmacology. By then, Xiaohecao will probably have no time to visit his old disciple.

Tian Niu discussed it with Lingsha. Although Lingsha was a little reluctant to let go, fearing that something might happen to her child, she finally agreed because the old disciple was very kind to them, so it was right for Xiao Hecao to go and see the old disciple.

Tian Niu drove the carriage all the way to the Biyu River in Green City. This Biyu River is an important transportation terminal in Green City, and countless small boats come and go here every day.

From the Biyu River, it is only about ten miles by water, and you can enter the Wuling River. This Wuling River is the largest river in the area. It is an important water channel and can pass through nearly a hundred cities, including Juyun City and Green City. , are just two of the cities.

Tian Niu's carriage arrived at the dock, and the Liu family's medicinal materials were being loaded onto the boat. They were first loaded onto the small boat, and then sailed all the way into the Wuling River from the small boat. They were then loaded onto the big boat and transported to Juyun City.

The reason why there is such trouble is because the water in Wuling River is very strong, which is not suitable for building docks, so it can only be transported in this way.

Liu Shun's father is named Liu Ji. He is a fat middle-aged man with a kind face. He is directing people with sweat on his face to load the medicinal materials onto the boat. Liu Shun is also giving instructions in a dignified manner. . These are things he needs to learn so that he can take over his father's footsteps in the future.

Liu Ji saw Tian Niu's carriage from a distance. When Tian Niu's carriage arrived at his side, he hurriedly greeted Tian Niu and said to Tian Niu with a smile: "Brother Tian Niu is here, ah, this is not our little Bao'er and Tian Niu." Cute little Yu'er? Come and let uncle take a look. Well, our Bao'er is really getting more and more handsome, well, little Yu'er is also getting more and more beautiful."

Liu Ji knew Liu Shun and Xiao Hecao more than a year ago because of their relationship. Liu Ji is a smart man. He knows that people like Xiao Hecao, whether he enters the Liu family or not, will have unlimited achievements in the future, and he also knows very well that it would be better if Xiao Hecao does not enter the Liu family, and Liu Shun will still be there in the future. An extra layer of protection.

Liu Ji knew very well that people like them were domestic servants. If the master believes in you, then you are favored and can enjoy glory and wealth. If one day the master does not believe in you and stops pampering you, then you will be nothing. In the Liu family, there used to be endless glory. In the end, many servants ended up with their families ruined. It was precisely because of this that when he knew that Xiao Hecao had not joined the Liu family, he not only did not treat Xiao Hecao remotely, but also asked Liu Shun to make friends with Xiao Hecao as much as possible.

In Liu Ji's opinion, as long as he has good relations with Xiaohecao. In the future, even if their family is no longer favored, as long as the little crane grass is there to help, it will not lead to the destruction of the family.

Tian Niu smiled and saluted Liu Ji and said: "Brother Liu, I'm going to trouble you this time. You also know that Uncle Men is old and he particularly likes these two children. I can't help it. Let them go and see it.”

Liu Ji waved his hand and said: "Brother, why are you being so polite to me? Uncle Men is old, and those of us who are juniors should be filial to him. Uncle Men also helped me when he was here in Green City. Do something for him, it’s not too late for me to be happy.”

Tian Niu said with a smile: "That's right. Look at this kid Xiao Shun. He's already quite impressive. It seems that you will have a successor in the future, Brother Liu."

Liu Ji looked at Liu Shun who was directing the workers to carry medicinal materials to the ship. He sighed softly and said: "This kid is very smart, but he is a bit rude. He is not afraid of your jokes, brother. I don't think he is young yet." Hecao is stable, and he still has the nerve to say that he is Xiaohecao's brother. It's shameful. By the way, brother, I heard that I have a younger brother and sister again? That's a good thing. If I can give you a big fat boy, then you will have a future. ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Tian Niu's face burst into laughter. He and Lingsha have been married for ten years, but in these ten years, they only have one child, Yu'er. Here in the soul world, you If a family does not have a son to inherit the family business, it will be regarded as a dead end. People here are very fond of heirs. Tian Niu said quickly: "Brother, please be kind to me. I will treat you to a drink later."

Liu Ji laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, when my sister-in-law gives birth to a big fat boy, I will definitely go and have two glasses of wedding wine. Brother, the medicine is almost ready, I will get on the boat right now."

Tian Niu said quickly: "Brother, you have a good journey, Bao'er, Yu'er, after you get on the boat, you must listen to Uncle Liu and don't run around, do you hear me? After you see Grandpa Men, you must be obedient. Grandpa Men is at Liu's house now. The rules there are very strict, don’t lose etiquette, make it difficult for your grandpa, and embarrass your grandpa.”

Xiao Hecao and Yu'er responded in unison, but Xiao Hecao had a calm face and looked like a little adult, while Xiao Yu'er had a novel look on his face, wishing he could run to the boat at any time. .

Tian Niu looked at the expressions on the two people's faces and sighed. He turned to Liu Ji and said, "This will cause trouble for Brother Liu along the way."

Liu Ji laughed and said: "No trouble, no trouble, it should be, brother, you can go back, we will get on the boat." After saying that, the two younger ones walked to the boat, and Liu Shun also ran away. Come here, he is already fourteen years old. Although his face still has a childish look, the clothes on his body are already dressed like an adult. With the pretentious expression on his face, Xiangzi makes people laugh.

Liu Shun obviously knew that Xiaohecao and the others were coming, but because he had to instruct the workers to load medicinal materials on the ship, he never went over to talk to Xiaohecao. His father had very strict requirements for him. If he dared to go over and talk, , he would definitely be scolded by Liu Ji, so he had been standing there patiently directing the workers. Now when he saw the little crane grass coming, he immediately winked at the little crane grass, which made Xiao Yuer giggle. Laugh.

Liu Ji always smiled at others, but he was very strict with his son. He turned around and glared at Liu Shun and said: "Stop being weird, we have almost moved the medicinal materials. Get on the boat, we are leaving. If you don't leave, you will miss the time." Liu Shun immediately responded and directed a few workers to move the last few packages of medicinal materials to the boat. At this time, Liu Ji had already led Xiao Hecao and Yu'er onto the boat. Liu Shun also boarded the ship. Those workers were all clerks in their shop, so they would naturally go back to the shop without their care.

After everyone got on the boat, the boatman shook the oars and the boat slowly sailed towards the center of the river. Tian Niu stood on the bank and waved to the group of them. Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er also waved to Tian Niu. , but soon the boat reached the center of the river and moved forward slowly. After a while, the field cows were no longer visible.

The speed of this kind of small boat is still very fast. It only takes about half an hour to reach the ten-mile waterway. There are many large boats parked on the Wuling River, and the small boats are like ants, gathering on the big boats. Next to them, the goods on the small boat were lifted onto the big ship through pulleys. From time to time, big ships filled with things left, and new big ships arrived. The entire Wuling River was a busy scene.

The small boat Liu Ji and the others were riding in soon sailed next to a large ship. Naturally, workers on the boat lowered the hanging ropes and ladders. Then workers got off the boat one by one and tied the medicinal materials on the small boat to the hanging ropes. There were workers on the ship who pulled the medical packages onto the ship and then moved them into the cabin. These workers were all skilled workers. They did everything in an orderly and unhurried manner, but the speed was not slow at all.

At this time, Liu Shun had already boarded the boat along the ladder and was directing the workers on the boat to deliver the medicinal materials to the cabin. However, Liu Ji was not in a hurry and kept standing on the boat with Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er. After all the medicine bags were moved on the boat, Liu Shun asked the people on the boat to tie a large basket to the rope and put it down. Liu Ji put the little crane grass into the basket, and the workers carefully put the small basket into the basket. Hecao pulled him onto the boat, then put down the basket, put Xiao Yu'er in the basket, and pulled him onto the boat. Only then did Liu Ji get on the boat from the ladder, and the boat turned around and walked towards the green city.

After Liu Ji got on the boat, he glanced at Liu Shun and said, "How is it? Are all the medicinal materials packed?"

Liu Shun nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry. It's all installed. I've seen it myself and it's all wrapped in oilcloth. It'll be fine. You don't have to worry."

Liu Ji nodded, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Hecao and Xiao Yu'er who were looking curiously at the things on the big ship, and said in a deep voice: "Has the accommodation of Bao'er and Yu'er been arranged? They are the first two. If you take a boat trip, you may get seasick. I asked you to arrange for a woman to come on the boat to take care of them. Can you arrange it?"

Liu Shun nodded and said: "The arrangements have been made, don't worry, father." Liu Ji then nodded and said in a deep voice: "Set the ship!"

Following the boatman's call, the ship slowly started.
