As soon as the sky was dawn, Zhao Qi woke up early.

It was not that he wanted to wake up, but that he was awakened by the swallows in the cave.

More than a dozen nests of birds hatched hundreds of little swallows, and they started chirping as soon as the sky was dawn, while a large number of swallow parents washed their faces and brushed their teeth and went out to brush their breakfast in groups.

Zhao Qi opened his eyes and saw the swallows coming in and out of the panoramic skylight of the cave, and from time to time, a piece of swallow shit fell from the sky.

I'm going to your uncle, and I'm still talking about public health!

Zhao Qi got up and looked at the swallow nests of large and small on the surrounding walls and the swallows entering and leaving.

"How come brother sleeps in the haystack?" Xiao Zhu, who was cooking in the fire, quickly went to help him get a facial towel for washing his face.

"I see you sleeping in the haystack, worried that you will be scared. You can go to the shed to sleep tonight!" Zhao Qi took the broken, old but clean cotton cloth and sighed slightly.

"Grandma won't let you!" Xiaozhu looked down at her toes.

"It's okay, I will tell my grandmother. I'm afraid of insects and snakes when I've had breakfast. After I've had breakfast, I'll cut some bamboo and wood and get another one." Zhao Qi touched the little girl's dirty hair.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Xiao Zhu's tears fell down instantly.

"Don't cry, don't cry, we used to treat you badly, but our lives will gradually get better in the future. If you make money in the future, you will build a house and raise some chickens, ducks, pigs and geese. Our family will be able to eat and wear warmth like others!"

"Yes!" Xiaozhu nodded vigorously and turned to fetch water.

Squatting at the entrance of the cave, he washed his face with clean water in a broken tiles basin, and then scooped a bowl of water to rinse his mouth with a pottery bowl.

Gradually, the sky was already bright, and a red glow appeared in the distance.

The rice fields at the foot of the hill are filled with wild birds foraging in groups. On the small paths in the fields and countryside, you can already see farmers going out to work.

Smoke curled in the houses far and near.

The streets are crisscrossing and the sound of dogs barking is heard.

A new day has begun in the morning light.

Zhao Qi stood in front of the broken kiln with rubble everywhere looking at everything in front of him.

The sky is wide and the earth is lush. The morning breeze enters the arms, with a warm and comfortable thoroughness, and a clear and salty smell of the sea.

The harbour in the distance was already terrifying and terrifying. Although it was invisible, the sound of trumpets echoed in my ears.

This is a brand new and ancient world, perhaps it is the Song Dynasty he is familiar with, or perhaps it is not, it is just another specious interlaced time and space.

But after that night, Zhao Qi had slowly pressed down his confused thoughts.

To live well, it is not enough to rely on random thoughts. It also has to solve the problems of eating and accommodation first from the moment you seem.

Just as Zhao Qi and Xiao Zhu were squatting at the entrance of the cave and eating a bowl of rice porridge, a young woman was carrying a bamboo basket and leading a four or five-year-old girl from the path. When she saw Zhao Qi, she seemed to slow down nervously.

"Sister-in-law A Lian!" Xiaozhu quickly stood up.

"I heard that Dalang's illness is cured... I'm going to come and have a look!" The young woman slowly walked to the entrance of the cave. Looking at Zhao Qi who had already stood up, she put down the basket on her arm nervously, "I picked some melons and vegetables and sent them over, Xiaozhu, please pack it!"

"Thank you, Sister A Lian!" The little girl happily took the basket, then leaned into the young woman's ear and muttered a few words. The young woman's eyes looked at Zhao Qi slightly calmer. After Xiaozhu put away the cucumbers, loofahs and some beans in the basket, she carried the basket and led the little girl away.

"Thank you, Sister A Lian!" Looking at the pile of fresh, crispy and tender vegetables, Zhao Qi couldn't help but thank you loudly.

"No thanks, no thanks!" The young woman held the little girl's head and ran faster without turning back, and disappeared into the path in the blink of an eye.

"Oh!" Zhao Qi lowered his head depressedly and continued to drink porridge.

It seems like yesterday. The fool probably did a lot of bad things in the village, and it seems that all women and children are afraid of him.

"Do you know, you went to A Lian's house to beat her before, and your head was broken!" Xiaozhu said secretly with her tongue.

Zhao Qi:...

"I heard that A Lian's sister is taking a shower at home!"

Zhao Qi's face turned red in an instant, then a little black, and his heart was a little sad.

How stupid isn't he stupid, he can do something like peeking at the neighbor's women taking a bath.

"How did I do after I hit her?" Zhao Qi asked with a fever.

"Later, you were beaten by Ang, and then you were beaten by the grandmother. You haven't gotten up for several days!" The little girl lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhao Qi. She stared at the ants under her feet and said softly.

Zhao Qi:...

If a person is not beaten, it seems that everyone in the village must know this romantic incident. I don’t know who A’an is, and if I will continue to be beaten when I encounter it in the future.

"Dalang~" Just as Zhao Qi finished the porridge and couldn't help but wash another crispy cucumber and feasted in a big mouth, a burly middle-aged man hurried over from the path. It was Yang Dayuan who brought rice and flour yesterday.

"Uncle Dayuan, why did he come so early!" Zhao Qi quickly came up to greet him.

"Your family doesn't grow vegetables either, these are just picked..." Yang Dayuan put down his back basket, which contained cucumbers, eggplants, beans, etc., which were also tender and green, which were very attractive.

"Uncle Dayuan is so polite. Sister A Lian sent some here just now. It will take several days to eat!" Zhao Qi thanked repeatedly.

"You are talking about A'an's wife. I met her on the road just now. You have beaten her before, because A'an has beaten you too, but they are all from fellow villagers. Don't take it to your heart..."

While speaking, Yang Dayuan took out all the cucumber, eggplant and beans and put them into the bamboo basket that Xiaozhu brought over.

"Where can it be!" Zhao Qi was so furious that he shook his head quickly.

At the same time, I thought to myself that I would not take it to my heart, but I was afraid that Ah An would take it to my heart.

"I'm going to the town to discuss the construction of the mountain temple with the clerk. Do you need to buy anything? I'll bring it back for you!" Yang Dayuan carried the basket back again and said.

"Uncle Dayuan helped me sell some money for incense and wax paper. I want to go to my parents' grave to pay tribute!" Zhao Qi took out the 200 Wenjiaozi that Yang Dayuan gave him yesterday.

Looking at the banknote, Yang Dayuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you buy medicine? Why, didn't you buy medicine?"

"I have bought the medicine. Yesterday I went to the pharmacy shop in the town. Dr. Lu gave me some plasters. I will buy some incense, candles and paper money for me first. I will definitely give it to the uncle when I have money!" Zhao Qi explained with a red face.

I have never been so embarrassed when I grew up so old. I have to help me buy things by borrowing other people’s money.

"Whatever you say, I won't pay it back. It's only a few dozen cents. It's also worth going to the grave to worship my parents. Your father and I grew up together. Now that your illness is cured, I should go and worship him, so I'll be happy. I'll leave first, and I'll come to you when the temple is built up!"

Yang Dayuan came and went quickly, and after saying a few words, he hurried to the town.

"Xiaozhu~" Not long after Yang Dayuan left, a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a patched dress came over with a bamboo basket and stood far away more than ten meters away from the cave to say hello.

"Sister Xiaomi!" Xiaozhu ran over happily.

"I heard that Brother Qi's illness has been cured, and my mother-in-law asked me to pick some melons and vegetables to bring them over!" The girl seemed a little scared, put down the basket and turned around and left.

"Sister Xiaomi, wait for me!" Xiaozhu chased after him, and then the two girls stood on the path and muttered softly. A few minutes later, the girl secretly glanced at Zhao Qi on tiptoe and ran away.

"Brother, I have eaten a lot of vegetables today!" Xiaozhu came over with a basket of vegetables, including cucumber, gourd, eggplant, beans, and a tender white gourd, a heavy basket.

Zhao Qi was amused and moved while laughing.

The atmosphere of the neighbors in ancient times was indeed friendly. Zhao Qi's family usually survived by the help of the villagers. Now that they learned that their illness was cured, their neighbors came to give gifts.

Although they are just ordinary fruits and vegetables, this feeling is very touching.

In the next half hour, many people came to the village one after another, most of them were old women and children, as well as some old men and half-aged children of seven or eight years old. Almost every household did not come empty-handed. Therefore, Zhao Qi and Xiaozhu harvested a lot of fresh vegetables and piled up all the baskets that could be used in the cave. In particular, a shirtless old man came, bent down and hunched his back and coughed all the way, carrying a basket of taro with a basket, which was obviously just dug out of the ground.

Most people came and put down the vegetables and left. Some of them would say hello to Zhao Qi, while Xiaozhu was busy packing the vegetables. As more and more people came, especially the arrival of several old men and women, some people stayed to ask about Zhao Qi what happened in the mountain temple yesterday and talked about Zhao Qi's past.
