Li Daochang sat on a chair, staring at the little kid in front of him, but thinking in his heart, this little kid from the Zhong family is pretty good, he has a calm look about things, but he doesn't know if he is like this now or will remain the same in the future.

so.

"Little Zhong family, you can't know the emperor outside, but the name of the year can be said. This year is the first year of Zhenguan. The war outside has ended long ago and the world is peaceful. But there are still

Some bandits and thugs, in the future, when you grow up and leave the mountains, you will always be able to understand the things in the outside world."

Daochang Li stared at Zhong Wen and spoke.

After hearing Daozhang Li's answer, Zhong Wen was stunned on the spot, his mind spinning rapidly.

'The first year of Zhenguan? The world of Li Tang? It seems that you guessed it well a few days ago. Now the heart that was hanging in your heart can finally be put down. In the year of Zhenguan, it can also be said to be a peaceful and prosperous age. There are no more wars. Then

Then no common people will be harmed, let alone fight here.'

In Zhong Wen's mind at this time, in addition to knowing the general state of Zhenguan, he also knew some simple things.

Of course, Zhong Wen is not a history buff, nor does he have a deep understanding of the Tang Dynasty. The books he read in his previous life were only brief introductions. In addition, apart from the occasional book or two he read, he basically did not know much about the Tang Dynasty.

Very understanding.

As for what happened during the prosperous era of Zhenguan? We can only wait and see what happens in the years to come. However, in Zhong Wen's heart, he hoped that the Han and Tang Dynasties could be unified and that all nations would come to congratulate him. But as far as ordinary people were concerned, Zhong Wen's heart was

I don’t have any hope. Even though it’s the first year of Zhenguan, the village still doesn’t have enough to eat and is hungry. How can it develop in a few decades? Can it really be a prosperous age? Zhong Wenbu

Dare to assert.

"Thank you, Taoist Master Li, for your advice."

After Zhong Wen was silent for a moment, he immediately came to his senses and saluted Director Li to express his gratitude.

"You, little kid, are quite interesting. You want to know about the world outside at such a young age. Do you still want to leave here?"

Daochang Li looked at Zhong Wen, as if he was joking.

"Daozhang Li, you know that none of us have much knowledge. We just want to hear about the outside world. You are the most knowledgeable person here. Naturally, what you say is also the most insightful. That's why I dare to ask Daozhang Li for advice.

If it were anyone else, I would be afraid that he would lie to me."

Zhong Wen stood not far from Daozhang Li, looked at Daozhang Li and said respectfully.

"Haha, you little kid is so smart. If you are free in the future, you can come over and talk to me. You don't need to bring any hares over."

Listening to Zhong Wen's reply, Daochang Li found it interesting that the little kid in front of him really didn't speak like a ten-year-old kid, but rather like a person in his twenties or thirties.

"Thank you, Daozhang Li. I don't dare to come here and disturb Daozhang Li's Qingxiu, otherwise my parents will definitely beat me up. However, if I really want to hunt something delicious, I will definitely come to visit you."

Zhong Wen listened to Taoist Li's words and hurriedly saluted. This was rare. Taoist Li said that whenever he was free, he could come to the temple to talk. It would be a great future for him to study with the prince.

"Don't worry, your parents won't beat you." Director Li said casually.

"Daozhang Li, I have a question right now. I don't know if I can ask it. A few days ago, I saw a lot of characters on the stones at the corners of the bases of several side halls. I don't know what those characters are for.

Yes, I also copied it down with wood chips, but I don’t know the words, otherwise, I could read these Taoist scriptures and so on every day.”

Zhong Wen stood there for a long time before he asked what was in his mind. It was better not to let Taoist Li think that he was stealing the treasure book in the temple.

"Oh? Little boy, do you know how to copy scriptures? But I can't read some of the words in the side halls, and they are a lot incomplete and messy. But they look like they are used to guard the temple. I don't know the details.

Time to study.”

Daochang Li was a little embarrassed. Not only did he not recognize those characters, even his previous master and ancestors did not recognize them. His face became a little unnatural, and then he closed his eyes slightly.

After hearing this, Zhong Wen didn't know what to do. He saw that Daochang Li had his eyes slightly closed, apparently urging him to leave quickly.

Maybe Zhong Wen misunderstood what Daozhang Li meant. Daozhang Li closed his eyes slightly and just recalled that his master and master were here. In addition, Daozhang Li was confused by Zhong Wen's question. Just now, Daozhang Li was praised by Zhong Wen for saying that there are things in the sky and underground.

If you have no knowledge and say in a blink of an eye that you don't know anything, how can you have the nerve to say anything?

"Director Li, you are tired. I'm going to take my leave. You have a good rest. If I can be of any help, please come over and let me know. I'm going to take my leave."

Zhong Wen bowed to Director Li and stepped back, which made Director Li's face twitch.

Isn't it a big joke to ask a little kid to help you? How can you ask a ten-year-old kid to help with anything in this world? Isn't this a slap in the face?

"This little kid from the Zhong family is very cunning. He wasn't like this before. This has changed a lot. It seems that the little kids in the village are starting to grow up."

Daochang Li opened his eyes, looked at Zhong Wen leaving, and muttered something, but no one heard him.

When he returned to the square in Guanli, Xiaohua had disappeared. Then Zhong Wen walked towards the side hall that was being repaired, and then he saw Xiaohua standing not far away, watching everyone repairing the dilapidated side hall.

temple.

"Little sister, come here quickly, we are going home."

Zhong Wen shouted loudly to Xiaohua, and Xiaohua was standing relatively close. It would be bad if he was really hit by something.

"Brother, is Director Li okay? Is the injury on his body healed?"

Xiaohua trotted over and asked Zhong Wen. She didn't know why this little girl was so concerned about Daochang Li's injury.

"Daochang Li is fine. He will be fine if he takes some more time to recuperate."

Zhong Wen walked in front, casually answering Xiao Hua who was following him, but he kept thinking about what Director Li just said.

The brother and sister were walking on the path down the mountain, picking up some firewood on both sides of the path and taking it home.

When I returned home, I found a lot of birds in front of the open space, pecking at the mushrooms in the open space.

"Brother, many birds have destroyed our mushrooms. They are really bad. I want to kill them."

Xiaohua put down a small bundle of firewood in her hand, picked up a handful of small stones from the ground, and threw them towards the birds in the open space.

A group of birds flew away, making the little flower shout angrily.

"Okay, little sister, don't worry about these birds. When Brother Kong helps you catch them, we can eat them as beggar birds."

Zhong Wen looked at Xiao Hua's action and seemed a little amused, but he also knew the rewards of protecting his own family.

After dragging the firewood and putting it into the stove, the brother and sister sat under the tree on the edge of the clearing, guarding the mushrooms in front of the clearing, holding a stick in their hands.

Xiaohua opened her big eyes and stared at the birds on the house. As long as the birds flew down, they would always run over, waving the small wooden stick in their hands, as if to kill the birds that stole their mouths.

Knock it down.

A few days later, the mushrooms in the open space were almost dried, and a lot of dried mushrooms were produced from the hundreds of kilograms of mushrooms.

Pack them in big baskets at home and store them in the house. As long as Zhong Mugen is free one day, he can go to the city and sell these dried mushrooms in exchange for some copper coins and bring back those hare furs.

Sold together.

"Husband, look at these few days, have you gone to the city and sold these dried mushrooms and hare skins in exchange for some food?"

After dinner the next day, Xiu saw that the food at home was no longer enough for a few days. She became anxious and spoke to Zhong Mugen, who was rubbing silk and hemp.

"Okay, I'm going to the city tomorrow. I really don't have enough food at home. I'll bring some salt with me to see if I can exchange it for anything."

Zhong Mugen was busy with the tasks at hand and responded to Xiu, but his heart was filled with excitement.

The food supply at home is indeed almost at the bottom, but there are still nearly two months until the summer harvest. If the family really runs out of food, life will not be easy in the future.

Zhong Wen also knew about this. In the past few days, he had been thinking about how to solve the dilemma at home, but he could never think of any good solution.

After hearing the voices of his parents, Zhong Wen began to think about the knife. If there was a good knife at home, it would be more convenient for him to do anything by himself.

"Dad, if you can sell it for more money, you'd better buy a knife."

Zhong Wen lay on the thatched mat and started talking about getting the knife. As for how much the mushrooms could be sold for, he had no idea in his mind.

"Xiao Wen, this knife is very expensive. Let's exchange it for some refined food first and then talk about it."

After hearing this, Zhong Mugen originally wanted to agree, but he thought that the family was about to run out of food, so it was better to hold on to the food first. As for the knife, he could only consider it after the situation at home was a little better.

"Okay, Dad."

Zhong Wen could only accept his father's opinion. After all, he didn't know what was going on outside, and it was useless to say more. However, he really wanted to go out and see what the outside city was like.

Late at night, Zhong Mugen and his wife stopped what they were doing, put out the torches, and then fell asleep. The chirping of insects and frogs outside the house showed that this place was a paradise.

Before the sun rose on the second day, Zhong Mugen carried a basket containing dried mushrooms, hare furs, and two large bowls of salt, and set off towards the city. A trip to the city would at least require

It takes three days to make a round trip.

As for how to solve the food problem in these three days, with Zhong Wen's brains, it is basically easy to solve. I just made three big leaf hares to take with me. This not only solves the problem of hunger, but also increases energy, so that I can go on the road.

There is also some strength.
