Start the game with a gift of natural power

The sky is clear and the wind is harmonious.

Taking a deep breath, the air turned out to be a little moist and sweet. In this natural fragrance, my mind seemed to be sober.

'If it were in a previous life, with this kind of air quality, people would probably live more than ten years longer, right?'

Lin Mo shook his head to eliminate the distracting thoughts in his mind. He held the bamboo basket behind his back with both hands, weighed the weight, took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and followed the same people around him, following a similar trajectory, towards the city wall.

go.

Seen from a distance, the ant-like little people are working hard, and the city wall, which was originally six feet high, is getting taller and thicker little by little.

Lin Mo was building the city wall, and there were many people like him.

In recent years, the clans of the Zhou Dynasty have been weak. In the original state planning, the aristocratic families not only did not help, but instead became a hindrance.

Respect your troops, and war will break out. The most direct manifestations in life are erratic prices, urban construction projects, and frequent military conscription and tax payments.

Even the most prosperous counties are no exception.

It seems that every influential force is working hard to develop and occupy a place in the coming troubled times.

The golden crow sets in the west, and time passes quickly.

"This is today's wages. Keep it for yourself. Hey, be careful not to be snatched away by the gangsters on the roadside!"

When it's time to get off work, the manager begins to settle wages.

On the high mahogany table, there are steamers with layers of height on one side. Inside are large orange-yellow steamed buns that are as big as two adult fists. They are steaming and exuding an alluring aroma; on one side are steamers.

A huge gold basin filled with bunches of copper coins.

Wages were paid daily, half in copper coins and half in food.

In this precarious and inflationary world, a good piece of thick steamed bun is more tempting than a bunch of copper coins.

When the workers who had worked hard all day heard that work was over, a glimmer of light appeared in their numb eyes, and they all gathered around. When they heard the manager in charge making fun, they all nodded obsequiously.

Seeing this, the steward seemed to be greatly satisfied. He nodded slightly, his mustache trembled, and without further delay, he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to start distributing money.

Lin Mo was very inconspicuous in the crowd.

He was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his body had not grown, but he was still about 1.6 meters tall. He was not very strong. He found a corner and did not fight for it. He just looked at the big steamed buns on the table silently.

'Based on today's workload, I should be able to get two big steamed buns and two strings of copper coins?'

He was a little happy.

This means saving food, enough for the whole family to consume for a day, and maybe the rest can support him in doing some light exercise?

The queue was quick, and it wasn't long before it was Lin Mo's turn.

Lin Mo took the oil paper bag from the steward's hand. He didn't untie it in front of him. He just weighed the weight lightly and put them into his arms together. He paused for a moment and bowed slightly. When the steward waved his hand impatiently,

Then he turned around and trotted towards home.

After jogging all the way out of the construction site, he slowed down and walked slowly as if nothing had happened.

After turning around several alleys and walking along the city wall, I soon saw the area where my home was located.

It was a dilapidated brick bungalow.

His home in this world is not far from his place of work.

After all, if we really count, his home is located outside the 18th Ring Road, in a slum area, adjacent to the city wall, and belongs to a corner of this city.

Kicking the pebbles in the middle of the road into the smelly ditch beside the road, Lin Mo glanced around with his peripheral vision and felt relieved.

Walking to the door, Lin Mo knocked on the door.

Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong.

Two rounds of tapping were performed rhythmically.

Squeak, the door opens.

There was a small gap, but the door was not fully opened. He ducked in, then slammed the door and lowered the bolt.

Lin Mo half leaned against the door wall, exhaled softly, and his heart slowly calmed down.

"Sister, this is today's wages."

Lin Mo took out the oil paper bag that was a little deformed from his arms, handed it to the woman standing by the door, and said softly.

The woman was not pretty, she could only be considered delicate, but her eyes were very bright. She nodded, took the oil paper bag, and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. Go wash your hands, take a rest, and get ready to eat."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen.

She is Lin Mo's eldest sister, named Lin Yun. She is one year older than Lin Mo. When Lin's father and Lin's mother were working abroad, she was like a mother and took good care of him.

In addition, he has a younger brother, Lin Shu, who is ten years younger than him, and should be sleeping in the room at this time.

After breathing calmly for a while, Lin Mo walked towards the room.

Every time I go home, it's a battle between life and death. What I said is true.

It is not as peaceful as the flower-growing family in the previous life. Even the so-called workers can at least live with dignity and stability as long as they work hard.

In this world, in this urban area, the splash of a dead person is no bigger than that of a dead chicken. Especially in this era of chaos, killing, robbing, and abducting have become human nature?

Yes, it is always easier to be a bad person than a good person, disasters always last longer, and people's bad nature is more vividly displayed in times of crisis.

Back in the room, the younger brother was lying on the bed sleeping. Due to family reasons, he had no money to study. In addition, a group of kidnappers came from nowhere in this neighborhood recently, so he did not dare to go out to play. He stayed at home except to help his elder sister Lin Yun.

Housework seems to be limited to sleeping.

Lin Mo stepped forward and covered the slipped quilt more tightly. Instead of falling into bed and sleeping, Lin Mo took off his clothes and began to pat his arms and thighs. From time to time, he would hold his arms against the door and do lunges to stretch.

The urban construction project was not easy, let alone him. Even the young and powerful man couldn't bear to do it all the time. If he hadn't been sweet-mouthed, good at talking, and shown to be diligent and willing to work, the people in charge would not have accepted an immature bean sprout like him.

vegetable.

'Born in troubled times, a man will not eat five tripods when he is alive, but will cook on five tripods when he dies. The funny thing is, let alone five tripods when I die, I am afraid that I will not even be able to live in a thin coffin, and I will most likely live on a roll of straw mat.

Just throw it into a mass grave.'

Lin Mo felt the soreness in his chest, arms, and thighs, and couldn't help but think with a wry smile.

In his previous life, he was just an industrious college student. He had never done such hard work. If he hadn't been mentally tough, he wouldn't have been able to persevere.

But if he doesn't do it, who will? Lin's father and Lin's mother work with a business association outside, and entrust their living expenses to their eldest sister Lin Yun every month. However, they probably didn't expect that prices have risen so fast that they could originally have enough for the three siblings for a month.

The expenses are now only enough to cover half a month.

'But it's not like there's no turning around.'

Lin Mo touched his left chest. There was a light green bead inlaid on the slightly bulging chest muscle. It was originally covered with red cracks, but now it has almost healed, with only a few places left unfilled.

The Talent Pearl, this is the name of the pearl, was reborn into this world with him. After his inspection, outsiders could not see any trace of it. In other words, it belonged to him alone.

The function is also very simple. When the red crack heals, a mysterious talent will be born.

"Every day that passes, the cracks get smaller. You can really become stronger just by lying down. If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, I really don't mind eating and waiting to die, and I will be invincible in the world."

Lin Mo thought in his mind.

It's a pity that there are 365 cracks in this first-stage talent bead, and it will take a year to repair. The time span is too long. In this world, time is life, who can afford to delay?

Thinking in his mind and guessing that it was almost time, Lin Mo stood up and shook his younger brother awake, carrying the sleepy Lin Shu to the dining room.

Called the dining room, it is just a small space separated by a screen between the living room and the kitchen, and a small wooden table is placed.

There is a plate of golden fried steamed buns on the table.

Cut the coarse-grain steamed buns into slices and fry them once. They are crispy and very tasty, but they consume a little oil.

"Let's eat."

In the kitchen, Lin Yun came out with a small bowl, placed the bowl in front of Lin Mo, took off her apron, brushed away the hair on her forehead, and said with a smile.

Lin Mo looked at the small bowl in front of him with a complicated expression.

Inside was a hard-boiled egg, and Lin Yun had carefully peeled off the shell.

"Xiao Mo, you eat more. If you are really tired, you can actually consider taking a few days' rest. After all, it's the end of the month." Lin Yun put the largest piece of steamed bun in Lin Mo's bowl, and then put the next smaller piece to Lin Shu.

In the bowl, his eyes were full of worry.

Teenage children, whose bodies have not grown up at all, are not only suffering but also dying if they carry bricks.

"It's okay, I can hold on." Lin Mo didn't show any pretense and ate the steamed bun slices in a few mouthfuls. He picked up the egg with chopsticks and separated the yolk and egg white. After eating the egg white, the yolk was divided into two, regardless of Lin Yun's strange expression.

He looked at it and put it into her and Lin Shu's bowls, "I'm going to go to Xu's Pharmacy tomorrow to try the water. They are looking for apprentices. If you apply, it will be much better."

"Xu's Pharmacy?" Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, not wanting to blame anyone, "Is it really the Xu's Pharmacy in Nancheng District?"

Xu's Pharmacy is located in Nancheng District. It can be said to be the largest pharmacy in Nancheng District. It integrates channels and sales. From going to the mountains to collect herbs, going to the countryside to purchase, to doctors prescribing and selling medicines, the upstream and downstream are covered.

Of course, it was hard to make money, so we even opened branches in several other cities, and our reputation was very big.

If you really enter Xu's Pharmacy, you will be an apprentice. Your family will not have to worry about food and drink, and safety will be greatly guaranteed.

After all, the most inseparable person in life, old age, illness and death is a doctor. No one dares to say that he will not be injured or have any accidents. Generally speaking, the world is more or less tolerant of doctors.

"Yes." Lin Mo nodded and continued to eat the steamed buns.

This world is a bit similar to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in his previous life. The only difference is that there are similar martial arts methods in the world. He has seen ten enemies and hundreds of enemies with his own eyes. He even heard people say that someone was carrying bricks at the foot of the city wall.

He can even break rocks with his fists, crack the earth with his feet, and stir up angry waves in the river in one breath. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a land god.

Later I learned that there is martial arts in the world, and martial arts can lead to spiritual enlightenment.

As for Xu's Pharmacy, he knew after many inquiries that he was the most likely place to come into contact with martial arts.
