The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

In May, spring has ended and summer is coming. The wind is warm and everything is flourishing.

The Gu family has been very busy recently. They have to take care of the work in the rice fields and the tedious work in the wasteland. The grass roots in the wasteland have been cleaned over and over again, and the gravel has been sifted over and over again. Because it is a slope and has lost vegetation, it will wash out one groove after another when it rains, so they have to dig up layer after layer of ridges to prevent soil erosion.

These ten-year-old children of Gu Liang can't help much, so they can only stay at home with their three younger sisters to look after the house. The three little girls were usually quite well behaved and not too noisy. They just often played house together, usually playing some vulgar stories about fairies coming down to earth and falling in love with mortals.

Since they were all girls, everyone wanted to play fairies and no one wanted to play men, so they always had to quarrel about this. They often wanted their brother Gu Liang to participate, but Gu Liang looked down on this childish game and never participated once.

It's not that he was not interested. He had also played script-killing games, so he had no interest in this simple and brainless house-playing where fairies fell in love with mortals. He had a bunch of "super-real house-playing" scripts written by Nini in "Crayon Shin-chan" in his mind, with cheating, divorce, pregnancy, domestic violence, revenge, love triangle, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship... It was so wonderful.

But looking at his three sisters who only knew how to play the cowherd and the weaver girl, Gu Liang decided not to "harm" them.

Gu Liang became an idler. When he was free, he could only flip through the medicine book that was about to be torn apart by him. He still wanted to make a little money by going up the mountain to collect herbs. After all, he couldn't do other jobs. He was small and weak, so the safest way was to make money through normal channels such as knowledge.

If he was not afraid of the golden finger being discovered, he would go to Lingnan and transport some lychees to Beijing to sell. He would probably make a lot of money. But this is very risky. It is not easy to walk one or two thousand miles without capital. It is necessary to prove it with the space to convince his family. But if the space is exposed in that way, he will be beaten to death as a monster. Copernicus was burned to death for proposing the truth of heliocentrism. The consequences of taking out an unscientific space are unimaginable...

"Gu Liang, you are still reading!"

Gu Liang was lost in thought at this time. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. He was a little scared and almost fell off the chair. Looking back, it turned out to be his third uncle Gu Boxi who came back, so he asked: "Uncle, why are you back at this time? It's not even noon yet."

Gu Boxi was holding a water scoop in his hand and was drinking water. The weather has been hot recently, and going out in the sun for a while makes people sweat. After drinking the water, Gu Boxi replied: "The weather has been hot recently, and the transplanted sorghum has been sunburned. Your grandfather asked me to come back and fetch water from the bucket to water the land."

"Oh, do you want my help?" Gu Liang asked politely out of habit. In fact, he even had trouble carrying an empty wooden barrel, which weighed several kilograms.

Gu Boxi looked at Gu Liang's thin arms and legs, and said with a little sarcasm: "You, your whole body is not as heavy as a bucket of water. Are you carrying water or is the water carrying you?" Gu Boxi has always had a good relationship with this nephew. Although he was a little distant when he came back this time, after spending these days together, the two have returned to their previous relationship and often insult each other.

Gu Boxi saw that his nephew had been holding this booklet with tree roots and grass leaves painted on it recently, so he asked in confusion: "Gu Liang, I see you reading this broken book every day, what's so good about it? Aren't there a lot of things painted on it when you go out?"

Gu Liang suddenly felt that his third uncle knew everything, so he explained: "First, this is not a broken book, it is a medicine book, which has been torn by me. Second, the pictures on it are all medicinal herbs, and each one can be used to treat diseases and make money!"

"Really?" Gu Boxi was attracted by his eldest nephew's words. He worked hard for free for three years just to make money, but in the end he got nothing. Although he seems to be fine now, he can't let it go in his heart.

"Of course it's true." Gu Liang leaned on the table, his head on the table and sighed, "But my family won't let me go up the mountain, saying there are many wild animals in the mountain. Grandpa, Dad and Second Uncle are busy with farm work all day, and no one accompanies me. I can go around a few small hills nearby, but they have long been chopped by woodcutters and eaten clean by cattle. There are no valuable medicinal herbs."

Gu Boxi patted his chest and said, "I'll go with you, isn't uncle back!"

"

Really! " Gu Liang jumped up excitedly after hearing this, but then he sighed and said, "Forget it, it's useless for you to go."

Gu Boxi looked at Gu Liang's ups and downs and was very puzzled, and asked what happened.

It turned out that Gu Liang thought of the last time he dug Acorus calamus. He worked hard to earn money, but he didn't get a penny. Basically, it went into the pockets of old man Gu and old lady Gu. So he felt that even if he really picked the medicine and sold it, he would not get the money, and it would be a waste of effort.

It's not that Gu Liang doesn't want to contribute to the family, but he really needs money to buy food and store food. But in this era of big families, all the money earned belongs to the parents. Besides, who would put money on a child?

Gu Liang told Gu Boxi about the first half of his thoughts, and naturally kept the rest to himself.

Gu Boxi laughed and said that this kind of thing is easy to solve.

Gu Liang heard that his uncle had a solution, and he immediately used his best trick—hugging his uncle's thigh, hugged his uncle's thigh and said flatteringly: "Good uncle, tell me if you have any good ideas, your innocent, romantic and lovely nephew really needs to make money himself. "

Gu Boxi looked at his eldest nephew's mean look and quickly pushed him away, asking him not to speak in that weird tone.

Gu Liang was speechless. What he said was not weird at all. It was clearly the green tea 'clip sound' that everyone loves.

Let's get back to the point. It turns out that the method Gu Boxi said was that he would accompany him into the mountains to dig together. At that time, part of the money from the sale would go to the family, and the other part would go to Gu Liang. Anyway, there were only two of them involved in the whole process, and the family didn't know how much they sold.

Gu Liang was a little surprised. According to his uncle's method, it was equivalent to saying that the money earned would be given to grandparents and himself, and the uncle himself would not want a penny!

So Gu Liang asked the uncle why he didn't give himself a little when he obviously had to work hard.

Gu Bo touched Gu Liang's 'Heavenly Bodhisattva' and said seriously: "You can take the money you earn, give it to your parents, or take it yourself, whatever you choose, it's all your family. It's my choice to give the money I earned from my work to my parents, it's the same. "

After hearing this, Gu Liang admired his uncle very much, who was both affectionate and selfless.

So the two of them secretly reached an agreement and agreed to go up the mountain to look for medicine together after a few days when the wasteland work was almost done.
