Chapter 3 Go to town

"That piece of panic doesn't grow. Someone has planted it before, but unfortunately it doesn't grow. After a long time, who has wasted time on it?" Gu Xinniang said.

"Why don't we grow wheat in our village?" Gu Xin asked while sitting at the table.

"That's what rich families eat. The wheat yield is low, not high in yield, high in rice. This is a problem. Who planted the precious things? Xin'er, do you want to eat white flour? After two days of the market, I will buy you some food." Gu Xin's mother touched Gu Xintou and said, "

"Mom doesn't want to eat white noodles, I just ask," Gu Xin said.

"Xingniang understands, let's have a meal soon," said Gu Xinniang.

After dinner, Gu Xin went back to his room to sleep. Looking at the dark night sky, Gu Xin really thought about his original home. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, let alone a mother. Gu Xin read novels. If he disappears in this world, he will return to the original world. The original owner was hanged and he might be able to wear it back when hanging himself. Gu Xin picked up a belt and hung it on the beam of the house. He moved the wooden bench in the house and stepped on it, tied the belt with a knot. He stretched his neck and kicked his feet. He hung it on the beam of the house, but he didn't feel any pain and pulled it off.

Gu Xin fell directly to the ground, and Gu Xin rubbed his butt so much that he hurt. This man was fat and could not die. Gu Xin turned around and found two belts to hang them on the beam of the room. The two were not strong and must have been strong. He stepped on the bench again and stuck his neck in, kicked the bench away. With a squeak, Gu Xin fell directly to the ground again, rubbed his butt, and touched his neck again. Gu Xin felt that the belt was not under his strength at all, so he didn't believe it. It was not enough to die.

"I'll use a knife to wipe my neck, how can it be done?" Gu Xin said as she opened the door and went to the kitchen.

"Life is precious, and it is not easy to come to this world for a while." A voice suddenly remembered that he was particularly cautious in this dark night.

"Who, who are you?" Gu Xin asked looking at the empty room and looking at the empty room.

"Who am I? You don't have to worry about it. I brought you here." Which voice remembered again

"Since you brought me here, then take me back," Gu Xin said with her back against the door and said

"You may not be able to return to your original world when you go back, it's just the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld."

"Who are you? Are you black and white impermanent and flirting with the wrong soul? Use me to make up for the shortcomings." Gu Xinxiang thought this is what it is written in the novel.

"This palace is the Ten Kings of Hell, but you have a good heart and will give you a chance to be reborn." The King of Hell said

"I don't need it. You old man should let me go to the first child. Before going to Naihe Bridge, I drank Mengpo soup. Life is full of ups and downs. After this bowl, I will be freed. I have completely broken down from my previous life. I don't have to suffer the pain of missing me here." Gu Xin said.

"In this way, you can live well in this world, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and I will send you back to your original world in the future." The King of Hell said

"You said it's true, you won't lie," Gu Xin said

"I have never lost my trust in others. This is just your previous life. You disrespect your parents in your previous life, so that your parents will die alone. My palace wants you to repay the kindness in your previous life." The King of Hell said.

"Then why should I go back? I can go back to the time when I came here?" Gu Xin asked.

"This is just a parallel space and time. You are just a lonely soul. Your world is still. When you go back, it is naturally the time to come." The King of Hell said

"Your Highness the King of Hell, if I accidentally die, can I go back?" Gu Xin asked

"This is the longevity pill. If you take it, you can ensure that you have a long life and poisons." A white pill appeared in Gu Xin's hand

Gu Xin's originally panic was calm at this time. It was a bizarre thing to be able to come here. Looking at the pills in her hand, life and death don't matter anyway, so it's better to take it. Put the pills into her mouth and feel a coolness flowing straight into her throat and a heat swelling up in her stomach.

I felt relieved when I saw Gu Xin taking medicine to the King of Hell. This was the immortal pill he had just won from the Emperor Taishang Laojun.

"I am leaving. Remember to do more good deeds and respect your parents before you can return to the original world." A gust of wind blew, and the room was silent, as if it had never happened. Only Gu Xin sat blankly on the ground, and the belt hanging on the beams.

Gu Xin stood up, stepped on the stool and pulled her belt off, otherwise Gu Xinniang would be frightened when she saw it tomorrow morning.

When he returned to bed, he thought that the King of Hell was the lord of the underworld and would not lie to her. He never thought that the King of Hell would speak nonsense, let alone that the King of Hell said he would not lie to others, but she never thought that it was a ghost, and it was not an exaggeration to lie to her.

~~~

The King of Hell returned to the Hall of Yama and said to the chief clerk, "You said that this girl has suffered so much in her previous life and has never been able to seek death. Why did she live well in this life?"

"Return to Yan Jun, when this woman came to her last life, she had never gotten married and had children, and had no worries. She was married and had a son in this life, and she naturally had some thoughts on her." The chief clerk said

"I'm going to play chess with the old man in Taishang. I've just won the elixir for that girl to eat. You go and see if that girl is not committing suicide." After saying that, the King of Hell disappeared in the Hall of Hell.

The chief clerk looked at the place where the King of Hell disappeared and thought, if you made a mistake in this previous life, you would use a little girl to put it on the jar. It would be not enough to cheat others for a lifetime, but you still cheat others for this lifetime. Why don’t you change someone else?

Gu Xin got up in the morning and put on his clothes. Gu Xinniang was already cooking. Gu Xinxin chopped some wild vegetables and mixed them with rice husks to eat for chickens, ducks and geese. Gu Xinniang had already fed the poultry after he prepared the food.

After dinner, Gu Xinniang went to work in the field, and Gu Xin also wanted to go, but Gu Xinniang said she would not let her go, and Gu Xin was idle and prepared to go to the village for a walk.

Gu Xin's family lives in the back of the village, and walks along the memory of Gu Xin to the center of the village. A large row of thatched houses stand in the middle of the village. The sound of reading came from the room. Gu Xin knew that this was a free school opened by the village chief in the village.

Children in the village can read for free here, with no limit on men and women. The Dayin Dynasty did not control women less. Gu Xin also studied here for several years when he was a child, and Gu Xin was also well-behaved and sensible when he was a child.

After walking through the school, Gu Xin became familiar with the lower terrain in the village. There were only a few dozen families in the village, and thatched houses accounted for two-thirds.

As noon approached, Gu Xin walked back to the school and saw the children saying goodbye to an old man.

The old man was about the age of destiny. He had a thin face, elegant face, and under his faint eyebrows, he had a pair of charitable eyes and a gray cotton robe. Gu Xin turned around and wanted to leave. The old man in his memory was the village chief Zhou Jianbo.

"Since you're here, come in and have a meal." After saying that, the village chief turned around and entered the house.

Gu Xin also went in with a tough temper and walked into the school. The decorations in the house were very simple. There were more than ten simple wooden tables, each with a book on it. The book looked a bit old and a broken place. In this year when clothes were not enough and food was not enough, the children in the village cherished it especially.

"The body, hair, skin, and parents dare not hurt it. It is the beginning of filial piety. Has the girl taught you?" said the village chief.

"Uncle, I know I'm wrong, and I will never again. I will make my parents sad." Gu Xin lowered his head and admitted his mistake with a serious attitude.

"Oh! It's good to know that it's wrong. How can parents not love their children? Although the uncle doesn't know why your father insists on letting you get engaged, if you really don't want it, the uncle will tell your father that termination of this marriage will only damage your reputation. But it's okay. If there is no good match in the future, there will be heroes." Zhou Jianbo looked at Gu Xin and said with caring face.

"No, uncle, I figured it out. Dad is for my own good. Uncle, please sit down and tell me about your past events." Gu Xin helped the village chief sit beside the desk and said, "

"When the country had a flood, your father and I fled together. You know the elderly in the village. Many of them lost their children during the disaster. The county government drove us victims to this barren mountain. The young and strong left, and only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were left here." The village chief sighed and said with emotion.

"Does there a master in the wasteland behind Da Bo's village? Who belongs to?" Gu Xin asked.

"That wasteland is unowned. When we came here, we built houses and opened land together, and the same was true for the land that was divided into two parts. At that time, the county government stipulated that the land would never be paid taxes, and everyone had to open the fertile land. Time passed by, twenty years have passed, and the children of that year have now got married and had children." The village chief looked out the window and recalled

"If I mine the wasteland behind me, will it be mine?" Gu Xin said.

"Girl, that wasteland cannot grow. Don't think about it. Go home and help your mother do some work. It's not easy for your mother. If it weren't for... Forget what to do with you, go home quickly." The village chief waved his hand and let Gu Xin leave.

"Uncle, I'm going back," Gu Xin said as she left the school.

The sun was very hot at noon, and Gu Xin was already sweating when he got home. This fat man had a hard time in summer.

Gu Xin's mother had already prepared the meal and waited for Gu Xin. Gu Xin poured some hot water into a kettle to drink. Gu Xin had a fat time in her previous life. Later, she saw someone drinking boiled water to lose weight. She also drank it. After drinking it for more than a year, she lost a lot of weight. Over time, she became a habit. Gu Xin drank boiled water every day, and she never gained weight again.

"Xin'er is hungry, let's have a meal first, drink water later, and there is no place to eat when the water is full." Gu Xinniang said.

"No need for mother, I'll drink some water first, and I'll eat later." Water accounts for half of the stomach. I don't have to eat so much food. Weight loss is ultimately reduced from the amount of food. Drinking water does not hurt the stomach, and it's much better than losing weight without eating.

After dinner, Gu Xinniang said that she would go to the town to go to the market today and buy some household items. Gu Xin immediately said that she would go there too.

Will the ancient markets be as prosperous as the Qingming Festival? I think about it as a yearning for you.

The grass spreads across the wilderness for six or seven miles, and the flutes make the evening breeze three or four times. After returning home, he doesn’t take off his straw raincoat and lie down on the bright moon. Looking at the returning children, Gu Xin didn’t realize that this poem is that modern children need to be coaxed, which is so happy compared to the children here.

As the sun sets, the scenery of dusk in the mountains is beautiful. The sun is no longer hot, but it turns into a golden disk. The blue and blue sky is like a clear sky lake. Slowly, the color of the sky becomes thicker and thicker. The towering peaks around it look like wearing a golden dress under the sunset, which looks particularly spectacular and fast. Slowly, the color of the sky becomes thicker and thicker. Gradually, the sun turns red. The sun goes towards the mountains and gets closer and closer. You can kiss the mountain. It dyes the clouds around it red and turns into a beautiful sunset. It passes the peaks and disappears into the depths of the western mountain, making people intoxicated in it and linger.

Gu Xin thought that ancient times were very good, with fresh air and simple villagers, without intrigue, and it was nothing bad to be a village girl for the rest of her life.

"Xin'er goes to bed early, goes to bed early and get up early tomorrow." Gu Xinniang's voice disrupted Gu Xin's thoughts.

"I know, mom, and I want to develop the wastelands behind me." Gu Xin stood up and said,

"Xin'er, my mother told you that nothing could grow on the ground, so don't do those useless things." Gu Xin's wife advised her.

"Mom, in the Hall of Hell, the King of Hell has taught me a lot of things. I will go to the market tomorrow to buy some seeds and go to plant them." Gu Xin said.

"Forget it, let's go to bed early." Gu Xin said helplessly.

"I know, mom, you should rest early, too." Gu Xin said.

The next day, Gu Xinniang got up before dawn, tiptoed to Gu Xin's room, and gently pushed Gu Xin down.

"Xin'er wakes up, it's time for us to leave."

Gu Xin woke up suddenly, got up and put on his clothes, washed his face, and followed Gu Xinniang to the center of the village.

There was an ox cart under a big tree, and there were many people sitting in the car. Because it was dark, Gu Xin couldn't see the person on the cart clearly, so Gu Xinniang pulled Gu Xin to the ox cart.

As the sound of driving the cart, the ox cart was moving forward slowly. The ancient ox carts were not like the current cars with rubber, and the road was particularly bumpy.

About half an hour later, it finally dawned, and Gu Xin also saw clearly the people in the car. In addition to Gu Xin and the other two, there were eight people sitting in the car. They were all young wives, and their hair was tied up. Gu Xin knew that married people in ancient times had to tie up their hair. They wore fine cotton clothes and looked very new. They should be clothes that they usually don’t wear and only wear when they go out.

The person who drove the train was an old man who had passed his destiny. His eyes were vicissitudes, his eyebrows were mixed with the sorrow of time, his hair on his temples was white, he was covered in gray coarse cloth clothes, and his right hand holding the whip was wrinkled like a tree bark. His eyes looked ahead without anxiety.

Gu Xin didn't know the people in the car very well because the original owner didn't go out very well and didn't know the villagers very well.

Time passed slowly, and after an hour, it finally arrived. The tall city gate had three big words written on Xinqiao Town. The ox cart entered the town not far. The old man who was driving the car parked the car in an open space. The people in the car greeted each other and walked towards the town to buy their own things.

Gu Xin stood in the center of the street, with teahouses, taverns, butchers, pawn shops, clothes shops, etc. There are small vendors with stalls on the open spaces on both sides of the street. The street continues to extend to shops on the east and west sides, extending to outside the town. There are endless crowds of people carrying loads, some rushing to the road, some delivering goods to customers with ox carts, and some like Gu Xin stopping to watch the scenery.

Gu Xinniang took Gu Xin to eat two bowls of wontons. The ancients ate a lot of a big bowl of wontons.

After dinner, Gu Xinniang led Gu Xin to a grocery store. The shopkeeper was a man who was about thirty years old. He had a fair face and a green brocade robe. He didn't look like a shrewd shopkeeper, and he looked like an elegant scholar. When he saw Gu Xin coming in, he smiled softly at them.

"Aunt Gu and Sister Xin'er are here, come in and sit in." This person is Zhou Xiujie, the eldest son of the village chief, the eldest son of the village chief.

"Xujie! Your sister Xin'er wants to buy some seeds. You can take your sister to see which ones she wants." Gu Xinniang said

"Aunt Gu can't grow anything in this season." Zhou Xiujie said

"Auntie knows, but your sister Xin'er wants to buy it. You can take him to watch it." Gu Xinniang said.

Zhou Xiujie knew about Gu Xin's love. He led Gu Xin to see where the seeds were sold in the store. Gu Xin saw that there was no seed suitable for this season and shook his head at Zhou Xiujie.

Zhou Xiujie felt a little disappointed when he saw Gu Xin's disappointment and said, "I have a bag of seeds left by a passing merchant here. No one knows them and sells them. Sister Xin'er, see if there is anything you want."

Zhou Xiujie took out a big bag from the corner, and Gu Xin opened it and saw that it was exactly the seed she needed.
