[Lu Xiaofeng] Sword God's Steward

"Meng Ke, you go to the kitchen at the back door to help. Aunt Wang, who sells vegetables, has just delivered the vegetables, and you help pick them." A loud middle-aged female voice came from the backyard. This is the proprietress of Hongfu Building. Just by listening to her voice, she can tell that she is a straightforward and neat housewife.

"Okay, lady boss, I'll be right here." After the childish and clear answer sounded, a thin child nimbly ran out from the front desk of the restaurant, walked through the corridor and entered the backyard.

"Hey hey hey, slow down, slow down! This brat is not afraid of falling if he runs so fast!" Mr. Accountant said amusedly when he looked up and saw a little mouse-like figure floating in front of him.

"You don't know that this ghost spirit can run wherever he has money. No, when Aunt Wang pays the bill later, he will definitely get a few pennies from my wife to buy candied haws~~ At a young age There is a way to make money, his ancestors must be a big merchant." After greeting the guests, the shopkeeper came over with a smile and chatted with the accountant.

A year ago, when Mo Mengke woke up from his dream, he had already arrived in this ancient town.It can be said that his experience, like his name, is as dramatic as Nankeyimeng.He obviously worked overtime at the company the night before, and went home to sleep, but when he woke up, he turned into a seven or eight-year-old child, and fell down on the trail on the mountain outside the town.

What's even more strange is that he walked down the path from the mountain and walked into the city. He met many people, but he didn't meet anyone who came to say hello or claim him.After thinking about it, he felt that there was only one possibility, that this child was also a foreigner, and no one knew this child, just like no one knew him in ancient times.Hey, also a poor doll.

The first thing Mo Mengke did after tidying himself up was to inquire about the situation of this town. After asking, he found out that the town was called Huairen. It was in the north of the Yanbei generation, and half of the year was in winter. Yes, there are at least four months of heavy snow blocking the mountains.Even for refugees fleeing famine, this is not a good place to choose.

He was a little curious about how this kid suddenly appeared outside this town. He had no relatives here, let alone anyone who knew him. What was he doing here?Where are his parents?Forget it, there is nothing to worry about, this kind of life experience has actually helped him, and being free from worries means that he will not be arrested as a ghost and burned by the people to sacrifice to the gods.

Mo Mengke watched the past along the street. At this time, he didn't have time to wonder what the ancient streets looked like. It happened to be winter. He was wearing such little clothes and walked such a long way. He was almost starving to death. Stolen food from the restaurant kitchen.

After being caught, he must tearfully claim that he is a lost child. He even thought about his life experience. He is 7 years old this year.

Things went well, the kind proprietress saw his shivering little body, poor man, she took him to the yamen, registered the missing information, and took him in.

A child of seven or eight years old has no relatives and can only rely on himself. Mo Mengke has no choice but to make such a bad plan. He didn't choose the restaurant he stole at random, but he found out about the proprietress of the restaurant when he passed by. I didn't have children, so I decided to take a gamble. Fortunately, I won the bet.

This stay lasted for a year, and the yamen never found his non-existent parents, but he really stayed in the restaurant and became a waiter in the restaurant with honor.

Winter morning, snow mountains, trails.

Mo Mengke walked on the mountain road alone with a bamboo basket on his back. The withered grass on the ground was covered with hoarfrost, and the soil was covered with thick snow. People stepped on it and creaked.The trees are full of upside-down ice hangings, which look chilly.

Even though he wrapped himself into a bun, he still felt that the cold wind was about to freeze his nose and hands off.He was a southerner in his previous life, and he had never experienced such an extreme winter in the north.

The sky was still early, dark and gloomy, and the mountain was very quiet. It was conceivable that in such a cold day, no one would get up from the warm blanket and run into this barren mountain where the wind was biting.

But Mo Mengke couldn't think about it so much, so he climbed up the mountain to collect herbs very early.It's just because Baicaotang buys fresh sheep grass at a high price, one penny per catty, which allows him to save enough money faster.

Mo Mengke breathed on his hands and quickened his pace.Exercise generates heat, which keeps him from freezing to death.

He had to dig more herbs today, so he would come here alone in the severe cold.

What Mo Mengke has always planned is: it’s rare to go back to ancient times, and don’t have to pay high housing prices. While you are still young, try to save money, and when you grow up, you can buy a shop next to the street and do some small business, safe and secure Live steadily.

According to the current prices, the house costs about 20 taels. He is still young now, and his income as a waiter in the shop is 100 renminbi a month. When he grows up to 12 years old, he should be able to rise to the same level as Ah Huang. 140 Wen, according to this calculation, he will be able to have a shop when he is 22 years old.

As a modern person, this feeling of having a house at a young age, don’t be too chic~

However, the result of this calculation has a prerequisite: in the past ten years, he has not had any other expenses, and he has not been sick, changed clothes, or bought other things.

This is obviously unrealistic, so he must earn some extra money.

He thought for a long time, and finally decided to learn some Qihuang techniques, so that he could save money to see a doctor when he was sick.When he was free, he would go to the pharmacy to help the doctor in the pharmacy dry the herbs, and he learned a little bit after a long time.

Now, he relies on these furs to go to the mountains to find some medicinal materials, and then sell the medicinal materials to pharmacies.

Mo Mengke wiped his sweat, he has been walking for a long time, and now he doesn't feel cold anymore.

It was already dawn, and the baskets were already filled with the collected herbs.These are the places he picked in autumn, digging out bit by bit from the snow, not too many but not too few.

But he is still a little dissatisfied. It is only the beginning of winter, and it is so cold. It will be three or nine days. I am afraid that there will be no way to go up this mountain. Anyway, it is still early, so it is better to search more, maybe you can find it. One and a half ginseng.

Mo Mengke searched for another hour with good thoughts in mind.

So, God’s will is like this sometimes, if he goes back earlier as usual, then he will not meet the child, if he goes up the mountain later, maybe the child will be frozen to death or eaten by wild animals.

From a distance, Mo Mengke saw something under the pine tree, a red ball.

Walking over to take a look, I found that it was a child wrapped in a fur coat made of fiery red fox fur, about four or five years old, white and tender, with his mouth pouted, sleeping soundly.

This, is it Tuogu or murder?

Mo Mengke touched the child's face, but it was still hot, which meant that it had just been placed here not long ago.But there will be that father and mother who bring the child up the mountain early in the morning and leave him here alone~

Mo Mengke put down the herbs and picked up the child. Sleeping in the snow like this, he would freeze to death.

The author has something to say: Today is Mr. Bai Xiaopu:

As for the price, I refer to [Wan Shu Miscellaneous Notes] from the Ming Dynasty.

1两金子=10两银子，1两银子=1000至1500文钱，我们算1000吧。

重量单位：1石=10斗1斤=16两1两=10钱=100分=1000厘

Length unit: one piece = four feet, one foot = ten feet, one piece of cloth = 40 feet

1 catty of rice = 4 Wen; 1 catty of premium pork = 20 Wen;

A live fat chicken = 40 Wen; a piece of white cloth = 200 Wen

One or two and a half taels of silver is enough for a commoner to live for a year.

So one tael is a lot of money~
