Chapter 7: Ningshan

Chen County is a county town in Sanchuan County, Liang Kingdom. There are quite a few such county towns in Liang Kingdom. There are also four levels of townships, villages, counties, counties, townships, and villages below the county. There are also cities between counties and counties. There are about 30 600,000 square kilometers in a county. The entire four counties of Liang Kingdom are equivalent to more than 1.5 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to one sixth and one seventh of the land area of ​​China on the earth!

Unlike ancient China, the population of Shenzhou is not large. Sanchuan County has a population of more than 30 million, and the population of the entire Liang State is close to 160 million. As a county town, Chen County has a jurisdiction of nearly 500 miles, and has a population of nearly one million. Even China, which is located on the earth in later generations, is also a large-capital county. Guan is a county in Chen County, and the population of tens of thousands!

After leaving Ji Mansion, Ning Caichen followed the path he came back all the way. If he went back along the main road in the middle of the county town, he would not be able to walk back in an hour. He turned a few turns, walked through several alleys, and arrived by the Chen River. He could see some laundry ladies and some fishermen rowing and fishing!

After walking along the Chen River for a while, Ning Caichen walked into an alley with some bad light!

Chaotic, broken!

This is the first image after Fang Ming walked into the alley. However, unlike the alleys of cheap housing areas in the city on Earth in his previous life, the sewage flowed and the stench was everywhere. It seemed that there was no light for many years. The alleys here were more desolate, like a rare and crowded feeling. There were several wooden houses next to the alley and no one lived in them. Some of them collapsed in a corner!

In fact, there are indeed few people living here. Near the edge of the city, there are only a few families living there. Weeds are growing on the roads on the alleys, and some of them are already at their knees!

The alley is about one hundred meters long. After the alley, it is an open land. A few big trees have been planted, but the leaves have fallen, and a thick layer is laid on the ground. A wall is cast by mud, but that one is very old. There are many cracks on the wall. There are many places where the walls are collapsed, and weeds are growing around. There is a wooden door in the middle of the mud wall. Half of the wooden door is gone. There is a small courtyard and a small wooden house covered with thatch. This is where Ning Caichen lives now. Huyang Mountain is up behind the wooden house!

Ning Caichen was silent and walked into the yard. The yard was about the size of a basketball court. There were two large poplar trees the size of a bowl on the left. There were some knee-high weeds growing by the wall. A round stone table and two stone benches were placed in the middle of the yard. A water tank was placed next to it, which contained half a tank of water. A wooden cover was covered on the bucket to prevent dust and leaves from falling into the water! Directly behind the yard was a wooden house, about 40 or 50 square meters!

One main house, two side rooms!

The house is barely covered with walls, and it is obvious at a glance. This is Ning Caichen's intuitive impression. There is a wooden table with square tables in the middle of the main house, an oil lamp on it, a millet jar in the corner, a pot for cooking and cooking, and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks!

Ning Caichen put the book on the table, looked in the room, walked to the rice jar, uncovered the lid, and found that it was empty inside, with no grain of rice left. Then, he looked at two side rooms. There was only a single wooden bed in each side room, and a thick layer of hay was poured over the wooden bed, and a broken mat and a thin and tattered sheet on the hay!

Silence! Or silence!

Although he was prepared in his heart, Ning Caichen still felt a little sad when he saw this scene. What was the point of poverty like? It’s really amazing that he can’t leave any rice!!

After walking out of the house, Ning Caichen sat on the stone bench in the yard for a while and was stunned!

Doing things! Not in the mood!

Copy the book! Let me sit quietly! Although he is not rich and noble on earth, he can be considered a well-off society. Material life is no longer a pursuit, and spiritual pursuit is the goal. But now, even eating is a problem. No one can react to the huge contrast at once!

Sitting in the yard, just like that, he did nothing, because Ning Caichen didn't know what to do. Logically speaking, at this time, he should have been preparing to cook dinner, but there was no leftover rice in the rice jar and there was no vegetables. What could he do, so he sat there and was stunned for a while, watching the sun in the west sinking, and the clouds in the sky were dyed red half of the sky, and then slowly darkened...

"Gugu!.Gugu!..."

Finally, the unscrupulous cry brought Ning Caichen back to reality!

"It's going to be dark!"

Ning Caichen stood up and felt hungry. In fact, he was already hungry, but there was nothing to fill his stomach. After looking at the sky, the sky was getting darker, and the scenes in farther places outside the yard had begun to blur. At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the yard, and a tall figure appeared in Ning Caichen's sight and walked towards the yard!!

The person who came was about 1.9 meters tall, tall and burly, wearing gray rag clothes, looked very ordinary, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a sense of loyalty and roughness. He held a timber knife in his right hand and a black bag in his left hand!

Ning Caichen knew the other party, Ning Shan, one year older than him. He was picked up by Ning's father and mother when he was a child. He has always played the role of a human being at home. Two old men died four years ago, Ning Shan did not leave and stayed in the Ning family. If it weren't for Ning Shan, it would have been a problem whether Ning Caichen could survive until now!

"Big Mountain!" Ning Caichen greeted him!

"Young Master, I'm back!" Ning Shan walked into the door and saw Ning Caichen grinning, revealing a big white teeth!

"Give it, young master, this is what I bought today for selling firewood!"

When he walked to Ning Caichen, Ning Shan smiled and handed Ning Caichen the black bag in his hand, curiously took it, about half a pound. When he opened it, he saw a big bowl-sized cake and some broken rice inside!

"You bought this!" Ning Caichen looked up and asked Ning Shan!

"Hehe, I bought some more money today!" Seeing Ning Caichen ask, Ning Shan smiled honestly, then touched it in his arms and took out two copper coins: "Give it, young master, this is what I sell firewood today. Today I sold six copper coins, a little more than usual, so I bought half a pound of rice and two cakes! I ate one of the cakes, and the remaining one was bought for you, the remaining half a pound of rice is enough for us to eat in the morning..."

After saying that, Ning Shan looked at Ning Caichen with a smile, and handed it to Ning Caichen on the stone table!

"No, you can hold it?" Ning Caichen said!

"Ah!" Ning Shan was shocked!

"I mean it's useless to hold it, so you can take it. You will have to spend money every day when buying things. If you take this money, you will have to buy things in the future!" Ning Caichen said!

"Ah, oh, okay! OK!" Ning Shan smiled and replied twice, then took the two copper coins back and carefully stuffed them into the small cloth bag in his arms, just like a treasure. In fact, these two copper coins were treasures in Ning Shan's eyes, treasures that were heavier than his life!

Seeing Ning Shan’s careful actions, Ning Caichen felt a little confused!

"Young Master, why don't you eat cakes? You haven't eaten anything tonight!" Ning Shan collected the money and turned his head to see Ning Caichen still in a daze, so he urged!

"Yeah, OK!"

After responding, Ning Caichen took out the cake in the bag and started eating it. He took a bite and chewed it. He didn't eat what the cake was made of. It was made of rice, and it looked like other things mixed with ginseng. It was a bit dry, hard, and tasted average. It was not delicious or unpalatable. He was a little hungry, so Ning Caichen took a few bites!

But soon, his movements slowed down because he saw Ning Shan sitting opposite him watching him eat, and he was swallowing from time to time!

"You can eat a little too, I can't finish it alone!"

He divided the cake into half from the middle and handed it to Ningshan!

"Ah! No! No! No! I've eaten it, young master, I've eaten it, you eat it!" Ning Shan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly with a little flattered look!

"If you ask you to eat, you can eat it. I can't finish it alone!" Ning Caichen frowned, but he didn't expect that Ning Shan stood up and walked into the house with the rice on the table!

"Young Master, I'll pour the rice into the pot and get up tomorrow morning to cook!"

Silence! Or silence!

Seeing Ning Shan walking into the house as if he was running away, Ning Caichen couldn't say a word!
