Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

Chapter 125 Cannon Fodder in Chronicles (2)

Every village has a group of gossipy women.

A celebrity once said: Women in the old days were given a rope by men throughout their lives. They used one end of the rope to tie themselves and the other end to tie up other women.

Even if that other woman is their mother, daughter, or other close relationship person, it will become a tool for them to please the patriarchal era.

Everything is fine now. If in another twenty or thirty years, a woman was rescued from the river by a strange man, even if she married him, her reputation would not be very good. For the so-called innocence of the family, she had to die to "apologise". ."

Now they just want to watch the spoiled daughter of the original owner marry a fool and laugh at her.

The Queen Mother cursed in a low voice and seemed helpless.

On the contrary, the original owner's eldest brother comforted him: "Xiao Huan, you don't have to listen to the gossip outside. Let them chew on the gossip. Don't let me hear it, otherwise I will be rude to them."

Father Wang patted his son, neither supporting nor objecting. He didn't know what he was thinking.

The meal was finished in silence.

She had woken up and did not ask the original owner's sister-in-law to make medicine for her. She drank the medicine herself and fell asleep again.

When she got up the next day, she had basically recovered. She had some breakfast at home and was about to go up the mountain.

She followed.

It's mid-April now, and the corn needs to be fertilized, weeded, and some vegetables planted. Unlike in later generations, where there are no herbicides or chemical fertilizers can be used on a large scale, everything now has to be done by hand.

A few mountains away, in order to make the crops grow better, they had to carry "night scent" in wooden barrels to fertilize. This kind of "fertilizer" obtained from rural toilets was really powerless for Shen Huan.

Of course, this job is beyond her ability.

The original owner's father and brother were carrying fertilizer on their backs to climb the mountain. They walked faster with their bare hands and removed the weeds in advance to prevent weeds from competing with the crops for nutrients.

This was the first time that Shen Huan had done these things. Even though he had the memory of the original owner, he still failed.

The original owner's mother couldn't stand it anymore and thought she had not recovered and had no energy, so she asked her to rest next to her.

She didn't rest for a while when she saw a man coming out of the mountains above them, carrying a large wooden water tank on his back. He was also carrying water and dung. When the man passed by her, she immediately determined his identity.

Her mission target is Zhao Yansui.

It was not yet seven o'clock in the morning. To climb from their village to this mountain, it would take an hour to walk empty-handed. Carrying such a heavy thing would take at least two hours. In other words, he would get up to work before five o'clock. .

Shen Huan looked at his hunched back as he left, and felt a little sad thinking about the little boy who was pampered by him in his previous life.

That family really didn't treat him as a human being.

She rested and rested, but didn't help much. After eight o'clock, the original owner's father and brother also arrived. They started fertilizing, rested for a while, and then turned back.

I will repeat this step today until dark.

Throughout the whole day, Shen Huan saw that man pass in front of her seven or eight times. As he went to the back, his speed became slower and his spirit became worse. He was like a puppet on strings. He only knew how to work and had no trace of figure in his eyes. , he is obviously only eighteen years old, he is obviously a fool, but he has been squeezed by that family like an old robot, and is almost eliminated.

At noon, the original owner's sister-in-law brought lunch, a pot of boiled potatoes.

The meal in the evening was also clear soup with little water, but everyone else was very tired, so they ate a pot of rice, washed their feet briefly, and fell asleep.

Lying on the bed, Shen Huan thought about the experience of this day. This is the life of most people in this village. They work hard every day, work hard every year, work hard all their lives, digging in the fields for food, but they can't make a living after digging for food for a lifetime. A good day.

It can be seen that sometimes hard work does not necessarily lead to a good life.

The next day, she excused herself from feeling unwell and did not go up the mountain. Instead, she went to the town after her family went up the mountain.

The rumors in the village will continue to spread, and no one needs to be a promoter. If she indulges a little more, the villagers will immediately spread the rumor that she is pregnant.

In line with the characteristics of these people, they are mediocre, conscientious, ignorant, love to join in the fun, and do not think it is a big deal.

The economy of the town is very poor. There is no market today, and there are almost no people on the streets. There are occasional sellers, but no one cares about them.

Not long after the market opened, more people were afraid to sell.

In this era and this small town, the most valuable thing is not gold, jade or gems, but food.

Although the high-pressure environment has passed, a large number of educated youths will begin to return to the city next autumn, and the wind of opening up has also begun to spread in the coastal cities, but they are an inland mountain city. If the wind blows here, it will take at least five years. Six years.

Shen Huan doesn't have the patience to wait for five or six years.

The supply and marketing cooperatives have not been cancelled, but most of them no longer need bills, as long as they have money.

The original owner had saved some money before, the largest denomination was one yuan, the smallest denomination was ten cents, and the total amount of zero and zero amounted to more than ten yuan, which she used to buy food.

When she came out with a bunch of "good things" and bought buns on the roadside, and was about to go shopping again, she felt a hidden gaze looking at her.

She turned around and saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old peeking at her not far away. He was of medium height, thin and sallow, and had a sallow complexion, which fit the profile of most people in this era.

The other person accurately said that what he was looking at was not her, but the bag in her hand.

She took a few steps forward, but the man still followed her.

Then she stopped directly, turned around and waved to the other party.

The man hesitated for a moment and ran over.

"Kid, why are you following me?"

The little boy said angrily: "You are not an adult, why do you call me a child?"

Shen Huan raised his eyebrows: "So what's the matter with you?"

The other party's eyes moved down and landed on her bag: "Well, can I bring you something in exchange for some food?"

"what?"

The other party stretched out his hand mysteriously, revealing what he was holding. It was a piece of ordinary Hetian white jade, also called mutton-fat jade. Although the material was ordinary, it looked a bit old.

This seemed to inspire her: "Can this thing be exchanged for food?"

The boy's eyes widened: "Why not? Brother Hei said he could exchange it for five pounds of noodles. I thought it was too little, so I didn't exchange it."

Shen Huan pretended to take out a fist-sized piece of jade from his body: "How much can I exchange for this?"

In the last dimension, she bought a lot of high-quality jade from the Li family in order to trick the Li family. Some of them were randomly placed in the system's space. In that world, they could be sold for tens of millions.

The young man was a little in disbelief: "Wow! How did you get this? This can be exchanged for 100 pounds."

It seems that he has seen these "businesses" before.

Shen Huan said: "Take me over to find the person you mentioned. If the business is done, I will give you a few pounds."
